Chapter 320

"Who is so bold to murder A Niang?"

Standing at the door, Mrs. Wang glanced unkindly at Mother Zhao, who was kneeling on the ground, and cursed inwardly: Both of these are careless, and the mother-in-law is worry-free. She recognizes her, who makes the mother-in-law the elder.But Mother Zhao, a servant girl, dared to instigate among her masters, it's really abominable, this time, she must punish Mother Zhao well.

When Cui Youbo and his wife saw Mrs. Wang coming in, they all came forward to greet her.

Mrs. Wang hurriedly returned the gift, and said with a smile: "I have heard that Da Lang and Da Niangzi are back. I thought that you just came back to clean up the housework, so I didn't bother you."

Mrs. Wang's words are very kind, but if you analyze them carefully, you can still hear the deep meaning - you ran to the Rongshou Hall just after you came back, and you happened to meet the eldest lady who was 'ill'. This, this is too coincidental ? !Are you trying to show your filial piety?Or do you want to imply that their first wife doesn't care about their mother? !
Cui Youbo had just been reminded by Xiao Nan, and now he heard Wang's words, he was a little embarrassed, and blushed and replied: "It's because we didn't think carefully, and we bothered sister-in-law when we came back."

Wang's eyebrows raised slightly, she didn't expect that after three years of absence, this most dandy uncle would know how to read people's faces and listen to people's voices.Not bad not bad, finally made progress.

Now that the young couple has realized what's wrong with them, Mrs. Wang can't go any further, so she changed the subject and said, "Just now I heard from the servant girl that Auntie's old illness has 'recurred' again."

Xiao Nan didn't ignore the way Wang looked at Mother Zhao when she came in. She knew that Wang had taken over Rongkangtang's middle supporter for several years, and she was used to the feeling of being in charge of the family. From time to time, she always finds something for her. It is estimated that Wang's heart has long been impatient, and she is thinking of finding an excuse to beat those slaves.

This point coincides with Xiao Nan's plan.

Thinking of this, Xiao Nan suppressed his smile, and said solemnly: "Sister-in-law, I was just about to tell you about this. I always heard that my aunt was in poor health, but she refused to be called an imperial doctor. See you today, I will I just realized that my aunt's body was delayed by these slavish slaves. There are some old people who hide their illnesses and avoid medical treatment, but they can't delay their illness because of this. I blindly follow my aunt, and I know that my eldest cousin and sister-in-law are filial to my aunt , I don’t know, I thought we ‘followed’ my aunt on the surface, but actually didn’t care about her old lady.”

Wang's complexion changed, Xiao Nan's words imply that their husband and wife are only obedient and not filial, ignoring Da Furen's illness but refusing to invite the imperial doctor.

However, Xiao Nan turned around and pointed to Mother Zhao who was kneeling on the ground: "Others don't know, but I know that my cousin and sister-in-law are the most sensible and filial people, and they are not the kind who only care about the elderly but refuse to be sincere." A foolish and filial person who is good for her. It must be you, a stubborn slave, deliberately lying in front of your cousins ​​and sisters-in-law in order to please the eldest aunt, and concealing the illness of the eldest aunt, which caused the delay of the eldest aunt from a minor illness to a serious illness. And so on A slave who only knows how to flatter the master, but doesn't want to serve the master sincerely, is really abominable."

"Old, old slave, you are wronged, madam is sick, is it because of—" Mother Zhao thought to herself that it was not good, Xiao Nan was going to take her under the knife, she kowtowed a few times and shouted for innocence.

Xiao Nan didn't give her a chance to argue at all, and interrupted her words directly, "Shut up, just now when my lord wiped my aunt's sweat, you blamed him for waking up my aunt. Now you are in front of her old man's bed Ghost, aren’t you afraid of disturbing your auntie? Hmph, you are the one who is black, and you are the one who is white, and we, the masters of the Cui family, are actually being played by you, a slave?!”

"No, how dare the old slave, woo, princess, you can't wrong the old slave."

Zhao's mother realized that she had lost her composure, lowered her voice, begged, and argued cleverly: "It's obvious that you are mad at Madam, how can it be that I delayed Madam's illness?"

This time, before Xiao Nan could open his mouth, Mrs. Wang reprimanded her: "Shut up, what do you mean a younger brother and younger sister are mad at you, madam? My younger brother and younger sister just returned to Beijing, and despite all the complicated things, they still didn't forget to say hello to their aunt. This shows your filial piety." But you, in front of the master, do you dare to say that the younger brother and sister are dignified princesses, and you are the ones that lowly slaves like you can criticize?"

After saying this, Mrs. Wang turned her head to look at Xiao Nan, and said with great emotion: "My brother and sister are right, I thought that these old ladies have served Auntie for decades, and after all, they are people who have made meritorious service. I didn't expect that my temporary tolerance would lead to an ancestor who not only provoked right and wrong in front of A Niang, but also dared to criticize the master. He deserved to die. Come on, why don't you drag Mama Zhao to me? Go out, according to the law of the family, twenty sticks?!"

When Zhao's mother heard this, her face turned pale with fright. She, how could she forget that Mrs. Wang and her wife are not very good at dealing with each other, and seeing their old mothers is even more distasteful. Now that there is a ready opportunity, how could Mrs. Wang? let go.

Zhao's mother guessed right. To Wang, she didn't care about why the eldest lady was 'ill', she only cared about how she would frighten the inner house and get rid of those thorns.

As soon as Wang's words fell, a few strong women came in from the door, hurriedly saluted Xiao Nan and his wife, and stepped forward to arrest Zhao's mother.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Zhao's mother didn't care about acting, she yelled sadly: "Madam, Madam, wake up, this old slave is about to be put to death, please save this old slave!"

The eldest lady couldn't listen anymore, she knew that none of her daughters-in-law took her seriously, especially Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Xiao, who snatched the housekeeping right from her. A son who snatched her away is not a good thing.

Right now, they are bullying her even more, even wanting to take her close mother into surgery.

Don't these two unfilial things know that Mother Zhao is her most capable person?
"Stop it, let me see who dares to take Mama Zhao away!"

Zheng Shi sat up from the couch, pointed at Zhao's mother, and shouted angrily.

Cui Youbo stood silently in the corner. Just now when Xiao Nan mentioned 'wiping sweat', he couldn't help but look at the handkerchief in his hand, but he saw streaks of yellow stains on the snow-white silk handkerchief. .

At first Cui Youbo thought it was sweat stains, but after thinking about it, he felt that the sweat stains should not be this color.

So he quietly picked up the handkerchief and put it on his nose and smelled it, it was the familiar scent of powder——Xiao Nan didn't use makeup, but a few beautiful maidservants did.

Moreover, Cui Youbo once heard Jin Zhi, who is best at make-up, mention that there is a kind of face powder on the market, the color is slightly yellow, and many women who are good at make-up use it to blend the color of their makeup and make the white face powder look more natural.

Of course, Jin Zhi also told Cui Youbo some anecdotes, such as a lady who likes to use this kind of incense powder to pretend to be sick.

Malingering?

Aunt is pretending to be sick?

Cui Youbo is not a naive child, he only thought for a while, and he guessed why Auntie pretended to be sick in front of him, it was nothing more than to force him to go to his wife for questioning, so as to fulfill her wish.

To be honest, Cui Youbo can understand why A Niang did this, but he cannot forgive A Niang for lying to him and using him.

Because, after discovering the fact that Auntie was pretending to be sick, Cui Youbo couldn't help wondering if Auntie kept saying that she missed him just now, was she also lying to him?
Cui Youbo also felt that since he adopted him at Rongshou Hall, the eldest lady did not love him 100% as before. During the few years when he returned to Luoyang, the eldest lady was even more indifferent to him.Except for a few formulaic letters, nothing else was given to him.

Even if it was a purse or a pair of socks, the eldest lady never made it for him again.

It's not that Cui's family doesn't have a sewing room, and Uncle Cui doesn't lack those little things, but this is out of his heart.

In the past ten years, the eldest lady would make a shirt for him every year on his birthday, but the year after the adoption, and the three years in Luoyang, Cui Youbo did not wait for it.

All of this, Cui Youbo is not a wooden person, he has feelings—A Niang, she is no longer the A Niang who loved and pampered him wholeheartedly.

Now, A Niang has even started to lie to him, playing tricks on her.

Closing his eyes hard, Cui Youbo endured the sadness in his heart, and said coolly, "Mother? Are you cured?"

Mrs. Zheng was pointing at her two daughters-in-law to reprimand, when her son's voice suddenly came from her ear, she realized that she forgot to pretend to be sick, she put her hands on her forehead, wailed twice, and leaned softly on the bed. On the hidden bag, "Ouch, my head is so dizzy and hurts so much, Mother Zhao, come and help me!"

Mother Zhao was about to get up in response, but the red flower beside Xiao Nan held her down.

Mrs. Zheng was furious. While supporting her forehead, she roared: "Mr. Xiao, what do you mean? Don't you dare to disobey!"

Xiao Nan smiled slightly, and said: "Of course not, Auntie, I have ordered someone to invite the imperial physician just now, and the imperial physician will be here soon, since you are not feeling well, let the imperial physician treat you well. The cousin sister-in-law is better."

Mrs. Wang nodded lightly, smiled at Mrs. Zheng: "Yes, Auntie, it's all because of this tricky slave who didn't know that you were ill, so I almost missed a big deal. Since you have a headache, you should lie down and have a good rest. , when the imperial physician arrives, he will diagnose your pulse."

Seeing that the two daughter-in-laws were disobedient, Mrs. Zheng became angry, and said a little shamelessly: "I don't want any imperial doctor, I want Mother Zhao. If you are filial, then do as I say. Otherwise, I will sue you Disobedience!"

Wang's complexion changed, and the hatred for Zheng's in her heart became stronger - could it be that in the eyes of this mother-in-law, her daughter-in-law is not as good as an old slave?

Cui Youbo couldn't stand it anymore, walked to Zheng's couch, forced her to lie down, and persuaded her: "Mother, I know you are not feeling well, let alone get angry if you are not feeling well, you should lie down and rest. After a while, the imperial physician will be here soon, this time I invited you the imperial physician Lu with the best medical skills in the imperial hospital, he will definitely be able to cure your illness."

Just as I was talking, a strange man reprimanded me from outside the door, "Okay, okay, don't push, the old man's bones are about to fall apart..."

Hearing this voice, the corners of Wang's mouth twitched a few times, and she looked at Xiao Nan with complicated eyes: Isn't it what she thought? !
