The first daughter is poisonous, the lord goes to bed obediently

Chapter 136 Waiting on the disease, the struggle for family power
"The bodies of Mrs. Zhao and the young master are already enough to make him burn out. He doesn't have any extra energy to spend with the third young master Zhao."

"Is Mrs. Zhao better?" Feng Xihe asked again.

Yuanying recalled it for a while, and then said: "Aunt He said that the doctor showed Mrs. Zhao, and said that it was lucky that no vital parts were injured. The wound should be bandaged and rested for a while."

"During the time she was sick on the couch, Aunt He was by her side, taking care of her day by day in undressed clothes."

After Feng Xihe heard this, the corners of his lips raised slightly, and he said: "Mrs. Zhao is my cousin and aunt, and she is recuperating in the mansion. Naturally, that lady is going to go, and I will bring her a surprise by the way. See you soon again." See Aunt He."

After the words fell, Yuanying understood what she meant, and immediately started to prepare.

On a sunny noon, Feng Xihe came to Zhao's house and told him why he came.

Since Mrs. Zhao was sick on the couch, the concierge went to ask Aunt He who was serving Mrs. Zhao.

With Aunt He's permission, the concierge let Feng Xihe in.

Feng Xihe and Qian Yun walked in Zhao's residence, avoiding crowded places, and walked in a low-key manner.

I saw that all the servants in the mansion were doing their work in an orderly manner as before, and the Miss Zhao family who occasionally passed by their side was also playing around as usual.

"Miss, you said that Mrs. Zhao never came back that night, and no one from the Marquis of Wu'an went out to look for her, and there was no movement at all." Qian Yun was slightly puzzled, and whispered to Feng Xi and Whispering in the ear.

Feng Xihe said in a low voice: "Who made Mrs. Zhao act sneaky on weekdays, often disappearing inexplicably, and disappearing for several days. No one in the Hou Mansion dared to ask her whereabouts. This time it's the same as before."

"Besides, the situation of the eldest lady and the young master is not very optimistic. No one has the heart to take care of Mrs. Zhao. When Mrs. Zhao appears, she always makes people panic. They wish she would not show up."

If Mrs. Zhao was like the old ladies of ordinary people, who would chant scriptures and worship Buddha in the Buddhist hall when she was free, and the maids would always take care of her, and her whereabouts would be fixed, then her disappearance in the middle of the night would arouse their suspicion. No matter what people say, they will sue in front of Emperor Changde.

"It's just that everyone in this mansion is afraid of her, they don't have the guts, and they don't want to inquire about her whereabouts." Qian Yun murmured.

Not long after, they had arrived at Mrs. Zhao's bedroom.

Mrs. Zhao was only wearing her middle coat, and she was leaning on the couch with a pillow on her back.

Aunt He graciously fed her medicine, and after feeding the medicine, the small kitchen brought lunch, and Aunt He enthusiastically served her vegetables.

And Mrs. Zhao kept a cold face the whole time, looking at Aunt He's eyes with more suspicion.

When Aunt He put her chopsticks into the bowl, she put the chopsticks on the bowl very rudely.

"Oh, Da Furen, if there's anything wrong, just tell me, don't get mad." Aunt He hurriedly picked up a handkerchief and wiped the soup splashed on Madam Zhao's skirt.

Mrs. Zhao glanced at her sideways, and said displeasedly: "I'm so angry, shouldn't the most proud ones be some weasels who are eating the bowl and looking at the pot?"

"Hey, madam, what are you talking about? Even if there are weasels, they would never dare to hit you." Aunt He kept smiling and patted Mrs. Zhao on the back.

"I'm afraid they not only hit me with ideas, but they are about to step on me." Mrs. Zhao continued to put on a face, and said coldly: "I see, I'd better put both legs into the coffin, so that I can follow a certain some people's opinion."

Aunt He was still not annoyed, she moved the silver bowls and chopsticks that Madam Zhao had brushed aside, and told the people to prepare new ones.

She flattered respectfully: "The eldest lady will obviously live a long life, so why are you talking nonsense?"

At this time, the little maid who was serving Aunt He ran in and whispered in her ear: "Aunt He, is someone looking for you?"

Aunt He understood immediately, she collected her expression, and nodded.

Mrs. Zhao's face became even more sullen, and she only asked, "What's the matter?"

"It's nothing, it's just that a servant girl accidentally broke the crabapple flower in front of the old lady's door, and quarreled with the women in the old lady's courtyard." Aunt He laughed and served Madam Zhao again, and said: "Madam, this It's a little thing, I'd better wait until I serve you and finish your meal before going over."

This time, Mrs. Zhao didn't say anything, she ate her meal in silence, and watched Aunt He leave.

After Aunt He left, Mrs. Zhao patted the table again with one hand.

Cuihuan hurried forward and persuaded worryingly: "Madam, don't get angry and hurt yourself, just let the servants handle anything."

"Can I not be angry?" Mrs. Zhao said angrily: "I have always felt that Aunt He has bad intentions, but I didn't expect that it was true. Just now, Jingui came to tell me that Feng Xihe came again, but was arrested Aunt He let it in."

"Feng Xi and that girl have been in the same situation as our family for a long time, how could she not know? Before, I really thought that she and Feng Xihe were having a tough fight, but I didn't expect that it was just a trick she used to confuse me. "

"Now that I'm injured, she has seized the opportunity. Behind her back, she still doesn't know how she plans to bring down me, the eldest lady. I can see through her thoughts for so many years."

Earlier, Zhao Chu was reminding her to beware of Aunt He, and the old lady Zhao also reminded her, and even Yun Changyi, who had just been released from prison, sent someone to remind her.At that time, she thought it was easy to control a little concubine, but now, she has noticed that Aunt He seems to be out of her control.

Cuihuan was surprised, and couldn't help asking: "Then do you want to tell Lord Hou?"

Mrs. Zhao shook her head, "Master Hou liked her at first, but now he is so fascinated by her. How can he believe me based on my few words. If one fails, he thinks that I am not tolerant enough to find a concubine. .”

Then, she lowered her eyes and thought for a while, and then said: "How about this, you follow the two of them closely first, and listen to their plans, and then tell me right away."

"Yes." Cuihuan responded, and then quickly stepped out of the door.

At this time, Aunt He carefully watched the surrounding environment, and then led Feng Xihe to the most remote small garden in the mansion.

"Miss Feng, please." Aunt He asked Feng Xihe to sit first, and then she sat down by herself.

As soon as she came, she leaned over and said straight to the point: "Miss Feng, tell me what to do next."

Feng Xihe spent his leisure time admiring the scenery in Zhao's small garden, and said absently, "Is this the place where Aunt Han and Third Young Master Zhao often meet?"

Aunt He was stunned for a moment, then acquiesced.

A few days ago, Mrs. Zhao had asked someone to investigate Yun Qianhan's past tryst with Zhao Zhen, and as a result, she was so angry that she was half dead.

"Sure enough, it's a hidden place." Feng Xihe smiled lightly, and she turned around and said, "Aunt He, since Master Zhao San and Aunt Han were discovered, Master Hou didn't have a good impression of Mrs. Does she have no way to teach her son?"

"Why don't you take this opportunity to firmly grasp Lord Hou's heart."

Aunt He frowned, and said anxiously: "That's what I said, but the eldest lady has been the mistress for many years, and the residual power is still there, and she is still a little bit late."

Feng Xihe nodded slightly, agreeing with her words, but she only stared at the fragrant Impatiens gardens in front of her, and did not speak.

"Miss Feng, what do you mean by not talking?" Aunt He was in a hurry.

Feng Xihe pointed to the Impatiens Flower Garden, and said, "Didn't you tell me that in the backyard of the Hou's Mansion, there are too many people, and they all rely on the money from the public house to live, and the expenses are getting bigger and bigger every day, and the public house is full of people? Is it difficult to cope with so many people and so many expenditures?"

"Miss Ben will teach you how to solve this difficult problem. If it can be solved satisfactorily, Mrs. Zhao is still recovering from her injuries. Presumably, Lord Hou will temporarily hand over the power of housekeeping to you. After Mrs. Zhao recovers from her injuries, even If you want to save it, you will be exhausted.”

"That's true." Aunt He's eyes lit up, and she asked more eagerly, "I don't know what advice Miss Feng has?"

Feng Xihe beckoned, signaling her to move forward, and then she said carefully: "I heard that in the backyard of Qi's house in the south of the city, everyone is already eating their own food. Their family handed over the various courtyards to the election. The allocated old ladies are in charge, and all the income derived from the various flowers and plants in the courtyard belong to those old ladies."

"In this way, all parties and courts also need manpower, which not only saves the cost of hiring people to take care of them, saves the monthly payment to old mothers, and does not dismiss idlers, but also allows the old mothers in the house to actively Actively take care of the flowers and plants in the yard and make the best use of them.”

"As for your mansion, up to now you have hired a gardener to take care of it. The entry and exit are double the money. You might as well learn from the Qi family."

Aunt He felt that what she said was very reasonable, she sighed, and looked at the impatiens flower garden meaningfully, "Yes, the impatiens in this small garden can be used as Kodan, and the honeysuckle in Xiyuan can be used as medicine and can be sold at After the medicinal materials are sold, there are also lotus roots in the lotus pond in the back garden."

"These are all treasures. In the past, if they were not taken care of and used more, it would be a waste."

"Auntie, you have to hurry up." Feng Xihe smiled.

Aunt He got up confidently, "Thank you, Miss Feng, for your guidance. I plan to refer to the Qi family's practice, and make some practical effects before the lady's injury is healed. If in the future, the housekeeper of the Hou Mansion falls to In my hand, I will have a great thank you."

After the words fell, Cuihuan, who was hiding behind the rockery, frowned, she had already listened to their conversation without saying a word.

Cuihuan conveyed Feng Xihe's conversation with Aunt He to Mrs. Zhao verbatim.

Mrs. Zhao was furious after hearing this, she said angrily: "Unexpectedly, Aunt He and Feng Xihe really got together a long time ago, no wonder she survived the catastrophe, and when she came back, everything went smoothly. "
