The Road to Doting Wife

Chapter 122

Mrs. Tai has been sending maids to keep an eye on Zeng Xuerou's movements. When she learned that Zeng Xuerou had gone to Wangzhuxuan, her heart arose and she leaned on the kang, holding a string of sandalwood beads and spinning them around.

She did this for the good of the Zhao family.The eldest daughter of the Zhao family is rarely valued by Princess Jing, how can she be entrusted to a village woman with looks but no talent?She is going to bring her great-granddaughter here now, and break the bond between mother and daughter since she was a child, so that in the future, the great-granddaughter will not always think about going to Lin's side, and learn to be petty.

It depends on whether Zeng Xuerou can succeed.

As the sun went down little by little, Mrs. Tai became more and more anxious, but thinking about the great-grandson's daughter Xiao Jueduo, Zeng Xuerou had to find a chance to succeed in the past, so she secretly told herself not to worry.

In the irritating silence, a servant girl suddenly shouted in a panic: "Mrs. Tai, Mrs. Tai is not good. The cousin wants to harm the eldest lady, so please ask Mrs. Tai to make the decision for the eldest grandma!"

Mrs. Tai's right hand tightened, and the two Buddhist beads crackled.

"Shut up! What are you making such a fuss about? Tell me all about it!" After Shaoyao brought Cuiyu in, Mrs. Tai gave Cuiyu a hard look and shouted sharply.

Cuiyu knelt down with a pale face, gritted her teeth and said: "Mrs. Hui, Cousin has been visiting Zhuxuan frequently recently, Grandma treats Cousin like her own sister, she doesn't want Cousin to hide a knife in her smile, and today she instructs Sier, a servant girl beside her, to poison the eldest lady. Right now, the grandma is so scared that she can't do anything after hugging the eldest lady, Jiang Nanny had no choice but to tie up Si'er first, and let the uncle come back to deal with it. But the cousin girl refused to admit her mistake, Jiang Nanny didn't dare to tie her up, and asked Mrs. Madame, hurry up and make the decision for our grandma!"

idiot!

Mrs. Tai scolded Zeng Xuerou bitterly in her heart.Idiot, she asked her to do it herself, what did she instruct the servant girl to do?If a little maid rashly touches the eldest lady, the maids in Wangzhuxuan will stare at her as long as they are not fools, right?Fool, she thought she was smart!
Angry and not wanting to control her, and fearing that Zeng Xuerou would reveal clues in her panic and involve herself, Mrs. Tai stood up angrily, and while Shao Yao was serving as her cloak, she said to Cuiyu, "Go back first and tell your grandma to keep silent. , Cousin girl is gentle and pure, it is absolutely impossible for her to do that kind of unconscionable thing, there must be a misunderstanding in it, and I will make a decision when I go there."

Cuiyu raised her head in disbelief: "Mrs. Tai, there are all the witnesses and material evidence, it is clearly the cousin..."

"Presumptuous, what are you, dare to question my words?" Mrs. Tai interrupted Cuiyu angrily, staring at her with intent to kill.

Cuiyu shrank her shoulders, muttered a few words, and ran out quickly.

Mrs. Tai took a few deep breaths, looked into the mirror, and asked Shaoyao in a low voice: "Tell me, what should we do now?"

Shaoyao has served Mrs. Tai since she was eight years old. She is the most trusted maid of Mrs. Tai. Everything that Mrs. Tai ordered goes through her hands, so she knows what she is asking when Mrs. Tai opens her mouth. Mrs. Tai tidied up and said calmly: "The cousin girl is your natal family, you have to pick the cousin girl out of it no matter what, and the crime of murdering the young lady should be charged to Si'er. What on earth is the cousin girl thinking? If the uncle does not continue to pursue the matter... As long as the cousin girl becomes a big grandmother in the future, the eldest lady will still have to be raised by your side? If the uncle insists on investigating to the end, you will be considered an confession if you send the cousin girl back to Liaodong It's time for a smarter cousin to come over."

Mrs. Tai thought so too.Zeng Xuerou's family has a weak brother. Even if she let her take the blame, Zeng Xuerou would not dare to defend herself. How she will end up depends on the eldest grandson's attitude towards her.

With a few maids, Mrs. Tai went to Wangzhuxuan.

In the inner room, Si'er was kneeling on the ground with his hands bound, and Mother Jiang Zeng Xuerou stood aside.Seeing Mrs. Tai coming in, Zeng Xuerou cried and ran over to Mrs. Tai and hugged Mrs. Tai's arm to complain: "Grandmother, listen to me, this matter really has nothing to do with me. It's Si'er's obsession to harm Cancan. I really didn't instigate it!"

Mrs. Tai stared into her eyes, and when she saw Zeng Xuerou looking at her, she regretted and dodged away guiltily. She glanced at her secretly, turned her head to look at Ah Ju who was sitting in the kang, and asked anxiously: "Cancan, is everything okay?" ?”

Like a kind old man worried about his great-grandson.

Ah Ju hugged her daughter, looked up at Mrs. Tai, and did not hide the hatred in her eyes: "I know that grandma doesn't like me, and wants my cousin to steal my husband's heart. I can't decide who my husband likes, and I don't blame it." Grandmother, but today my cousin actually wants to harm my daughter, please grandma to be fair because Cancan is your great-granddaughter."

"Cousin-in-law, I really didn't instruct her to harm Cancan, let alone think about my cousin. If my cousin thinks that I came to visit Zhuxuan to get close to my cousin, I won't come to the head office in the future, right? But don't blame me. !" Zeng Xuerou immediately defended herself, she seemed to have been greatly wronged after she finished speaking, she sat on the edge of the kang, covered her face and began to cry.

Ah Ju ignored her and looked down at her daughter.

Cancan didn't know what the adults were doing at all, and enjoyed herself holding her mother's finger.

Mrs. Tai saw that A Juli couldn't speak and she was willing to go all out. She was full of unreasonable and arrogant country women, and her heart became more and more contemptuous. She directly asked Si'er who was kneeling on the ground: "Tell me, did Miss Cousin instigate you?"

"No, I wanted to hurt Missy myself. Our girl really likes Missy, but every time she comes here, Grandma always guards against her like a thief. She is kind-hearted and doesn't care about it, but I feel wronged for her. It hurt the eldest lady's mind. Mrs. Tai, please punish me, Si'er is willing to be punished." Si'er touched his head to the ground and said calmly.

"Diao Nu, the Zeng family's reputation has been ruined by you! Lock it up in the firewood room first, and wait for the uncle to come back and interrogate himself!"

Mrs. Tai scolded bitterly, and when the two wives walked away holding Sier, Mrs. Tai turned to look at Ah Ju, and persuaded her earnestly: "You heard it all, it has nothing to do with Xuerou, I don't care about Xuerou's temper. You know? You, you, you just like to think wildly. Xuerou and Chengyuan are cousins, so what's the point of saying a few more words. Okay, fortunately, there is no danger today. I will take Xuerou back first, you Think it over yourself, you will be in charge of the backyard of the Marquis Mansion in the future, so you can't be so suspicious."

In the end, he still accused Ah Ju of being narrow-minded.

Ah Ju turned a deaf ear.

She is the daughter-in-law of the grandson, she has done everything she can, and Zhao Chen has to talk about it if she really wants to break the face with Mrs. Tai.

Rongshou Hall.

As soon as she entered the inner room, Zeng Xuerou knelt down without waiting for Mrs. Tai to question her, crying and blaming herself: "My aunt blames me, it's because I'm timid, I hesitated for a long time and still didn't dare to make a move myself, but when Si'er made a move, Jiang Mammy saw..."

Mrs. Tai doesn't like her now, but she has to wait for her eldest grandson to express her attitude before adapting to the situation, so she rubbed her forehead and said, "Forget it, it's useless to talk about it now. Fortunately, you are not stupid enough. Know how to tell Si'er in advance to deal with it. Now it depends on whether your cousin is willing to believe in you."

"Will my cousin believe me?" Zeng Xuerou asked worriedly, as if talking to herself.

Mrs. Tai pursed her lips in disgust: "Who knows whether he believes it or not? Well, you go back first, and I will send someone to inform you if there is any news in the evening."

Zeng Xuerou walked away with a face full of anxiety.

Mrs. Tai only felt exhausted all over, she leaned on the pillow and closed her eyes to rest her mind.

Si'er has a good reason, no matter how suspicious the eldest grandson is, he can only suspect the bitterness and jealousy between Zeng Xuerou and Lin's, he probably won't think of her, right?
Today Zhao Yunting went back home with Zhao Chen, Zhao Yunting was riding in a carriage, Zhao Chen was riding beside him, and heard him talk about a few small and big things in the court.

The north wind was bleak, Zhao Yunting saw his son's hair rising and falling in the wind, and persuaded again: "Come and sit in the car, it will be convenient for us to talk."

Zhao Chen mercilessly refused: "You tell me what you want, and I'll leave first." Going home early to see his wife and daughter, who is patient to ride slowly with him?
He was so stiff, Zhao Yunting really didn't want to talk about it, so he put down the curtain and sat upright.

The sound of horseshoes leaving quickly sounded outside, Zhao Yunting shook his head and laughed, annoyed at his son, but thinking of his chubby little granddaughter at home, he also looked forward to the upcoming one-month rest, when he could spend more time coaxing his granddaughter with his wife up.

He didn't want to get out of the carriage, and heard something from the steward Zhao Yuan that made him feel cold all over.

He froze at the door, and Zhao Yuan lowered his head silently.

In this Hou's mansion, apart from Wangzhuxuan, who doesn't let him stare at him because the uncle doesn't like him, the others, whether it's Rongshoutang Weifang Garden or the yards of the other three little masters, will report to him first if there is any trouble. .Mrs. Tai thought her plan was perfect, but she didn't know that the mother-in-law sent by Shaoyao to grab the medicine, the nephew and daughter-in-law who was sent by the mother-in-law to run errands, and the doctor who dispensed the medicine at the medicine shop had all been invited to the Hou's mansion, waiting for the orders of the Hou Ye and the uncle.

"Close it first, and listen to the uncle." After a long time, Zhao Yunting strode back to the upper room and closed the door.

At this moment, Zhao Chen was kneeling in front of his wife and kissing his daughter's little palm.Cancan likes to grab things, and she wanted to grab his nose when daddy's head came close, but daddy would always run away after kissing her.Zhao Chen deliberately put his face close to his daughter's kick, then fell behind Ah Ju and pretended he couldn't get up anymore, playing peek-a-boo with his daughter.

The person who had been bullying me just now disappeared, Cancan turned her head in her mother's arms, looked to the left to see her mother's chest, looked to the right to see nothing, Cancan called out in doubt, and opened a pair of watery black eyes Looking at my mother, the little hands are still scratching and scratching.

Ah Ju smiled and kissed her daughter, and asked her softly: "Cancan kicked daddy away, what should I do now?"

Cancan couldn't understand, she stared at her mother's lips, only to see that person suddenly appeared from behind her mother just now, she burst into joy all of a sudden, her small mouth was drooling with laughter, her big eyes were curved into a line, her two eyes Grasping and kicking with only a small hand and two small feet.Ah Ju couldn't stand her daughter's naughtiness, so she hurriedly handed her to Zhao Chen.

Zhao Chen gave his daughter a resounding kiss on his daughter's flushed face, and then took the initiative to send his nose to his daughter's palm for her to scratch.

Seeing her daughter bullying her father vigorously, Aju laughed at Zhao Chen: "Fortunately, I cut her nails two days ago, otherwise you must have been caught with bruises all over your face."

Zhao Chen raised his head, replaced it with fingers for his daughter to play with, and stretched out his hand to touch his wife's face, "Cancan learned from you, she likes to catch people."

"When did I arrest someone?" Ah Ju retorted instinctively, and regretted it as soon as she finished speaking. Thinking of the scars on her back that Zhao Chen had just shown her this morning, she blushed and lowered her head, and quickly changed the subject: "Over there, What are you going to do?"

She let the matter of drug administration come to light, which gave Zhao Chen and Mrs. Tai a reason to tear their faces apart, but she was not sure how Zhao Chen would choose.

The smile on Zhao Chen's face did not change, and there were not many complicated emotions in his eyes. He shook his daughter's little hand and said in a calm voice, "I'll see her after dinner. Don't worry, Aju. From now on, you will only be in the Marquis without her. That person is fine, we Cancan don't have a great-grandmother either."

No, and no need.
