Chapter 126

On the way back, Shi Lin knew that her mother would not let her go tonight, so she was not surprised when she saw Xia Hua who was pulling the curtain for her, she just nodded politely, and said softly: "The old lady is not asleep yet. ?”

When Xia Hua saw her aunt asking, she hurriedly replied softly: "Not yet, I'm waiting for you." After speaking, she gave her aunt a careful look.

When Shi Lin saw Xia Hua like this, her heart tightened. She was still a little afraid that it was her mother. After all, it was wrong for her to disobey her mother's wishes, so she calmed down, put on a smiling face, and stepped into the door. Seeing her mother bluffing, she didn't care, she just smiled and said: "It's my daughter who disturbed my mother's rest. I hope my mother will forgive me." That's what she said, but she didn't really behave like she did in front of outsiders. , but approached the old lady with a smile.

When the old lady saw her daughter revealing the way she did wrong things when she was a child, her anger dissipated a little bit, but her face was still tense. Seeing her approaching, she unconsciously squinted at her daughter, and hummed softly: " Forgive me or not, now that you are a spoiled guest at home, mother naturally doesn't care about you, but fortunately you still know that mother is waiting for you, so it can be considered that mother has not loved you in vain."

What the old lady said made Shi Lin very ashamed. Remembering how well the old lady treated her in the past, Shi Lin quickly walked a few steps to the old lady's bed, grabbed the old lady by the arm, and said with a blushing face. : "I won't say anything else, mother knows where I went just now, but mother, please don't be angry, how about listening to your daughter's hidden story?"

The old lady didn't believe that her daughter really had any hidden secrets, but since her daughter asked so, she was willing to step down for herself no matter what, so her face softened, she nodded, but she still kept a straight face, and said indifferently: "Okay, if you have anything to say, I'll listen."

Seeing her mother's attitude, Shi Lin was not annoyed, but she breathed a sigh of relief, as long as she was willing to listen, she smiled and said, "I went to the second girl just now, firstly for myself, secondly for the family, mother, the Li family The uncle is coming back." As she said that, she looked at her mother steadily, but she wasn't sure if her mother knew about it, nor did she know, if she got the news, would her mother forgive her right away.

Mrs. Shi really didn't know this. To be precise, she never thought that the Li family would rise again one day. She still remembered what happened more than ten years ago. In order to keep the eldest daughter-in-law in the family, the boss tried everything With hard work, this forced her to keep her daughter-in-law. With such a big implication, there is still a day of recovery?This matter was strange, and it was not suitable for servants to listen to it, so she didn't care about her daughter's going to Er Yatou's place, and waved Xia Hua and the others to go down.

Seeing her mother like this, Shi Lin breathed a sigh of relief, it's good that she didn't know, so she took the initiative more, so she gave Lingxin a wink and asked her to go down with Xia Hua and the attendants.

The old lady Shi saw that everyone was going down, and then asked softly: "Don't play tricks, what's the point of telling my mother, in fact, it is for your own good that my mother stopped you from letting the second girl be appointed, you must know that the Li family The thing is, the second girl is a trouble, you don’t shy away from people, Lord Hou? You! It’s better to think more simply, with me here, you are still afraid that your brother won’t help you.” Thinking about her daughter’s care She couldn't understand it all too well, and it was because she knew her daughter that she felt strange. Ordinarily, she shouldn't be thinking about the second girl, so it was because of this.

Seeing her mother say this, Shi Lin felt a little embarrassed. The reason why she didn't tell her mother when she first came back was to make her let go of the matter at a critical moment and let her settle down with the second girl, but things happened like this. Far from her imagination, Er Yatou was so seriously ill, and her attitude was extremely strange. Although she also expected that Er Yatou and the others would be excited and happy once they knew that she intended to make her their daughter-in-law, she didn't expect them With such a warm attitude, the so-called abnormality is a demon, she has to let it go!

Thinking about it this way, for the benefit of the future, Shi Lin wanted to have a frank and honest talk with her mother, but no matter how she talked, she had a good sense of proportion. She still knew what her mother was like, and the desire to love was the desire to hate. After Qi's death, because of the Li family's affairs, her impression of Er Yatou and Brother Tao was already bad and couldn't be worse. If it weren't for the fact that these two are her son's flesh and blood after all, they might have disappeared long ago.

Feeling her mother's scorching gaze, Shi Lin thought for a while, then raised her head, and said solemnly, "Mother, don't blame me for not telling you just now. One, I'm really doing it for your own good. You haven't liked the Li family for many years, so you definitely don't want to listen to news about the Li family. Why do I bother to poke you by saying this? I originally wanted to see how the second girl is sick. For ordinary minor illnesses, I thought that when she recovered, I asked my mother to allow her to walk normally. If you release it, you will be passive, mother, you see?"

After hearing this, Mrs. Shi knew that her daughter was right, but she still held her breath in her heart, and ignored her remarks, and said: "Let's not talk about this, I just ask you, how did you know that the Li family Who said that? What is the purpose?" She was actually quite worried that her daughter would be used by others. You must know that although her daughter suffered a bit of setbacks in the Hou Mansion in the past few years, Lord Hou still cared about her, so she was not tempered. Change, it is still not too thoughtful about everything, no matter how shrewd he is, he is more domineering.

In view of these, Mrs. Shi still has a wait-and-see attitude towards Uncle Li's return. She thinks it is necessary to ask whether it is true or not, but don't let her daughter be used as a gun. Now it seems that her daughter wants to make a decision when she comes home The second girl, probably because of hearing this, thinking of this, the old lady narrowed her eyes, and thought to herself, if she knows who is behind here and ruins her mother-daughter relationship, don't blame her for being cruel up.

Shi Lin was taken aback by the cruelty on her mother's face. Although she was not a good person, perhaps due to years of habit, she was still intimidated by her own mother. Shi Lin made up her mind and put aside her own feelings. Nervously, he said seriously: "This matter is not yet certain. It was the wife of a close friend of our Lord Hou. She originally asked me to find out whether the news is true or not." I blushed, the news was not yet accurate, so I became anxious, fortunately my mother stopped me, and I haven't made it clear at this time, otherwise if the matter is not accurate, if I go back on my words, I will offend my elder brother even more. It's fine for the eldest brother, but this joke must be read by others.

When Mrs. Shi heard this, she knew it was not instigated by someone, but she was still worried, and asked again: "Is this person reliable? Don't be fooled by others. To be honest, if you didn't know the news , you will fall in love with the second girl? Tell the truth!"

Shi Lin blushed unconsciously when she received such a sideways glance from her mother, but for her own sake, she still bit the bullet and said, "I don't like it. I did think about it because I got news from the Li family. Don't think I'm snobbish, you don't know about my situation in that mansion, if I don't go back with my mother's family, would it be good to have me in the mansion? Mu Yatou and You Yun talk to Brother Can every day , I can't see what my mother-in-law is thinking, brother Can is grown up now, if he decides a wife for him later, my son is really not my son." After she finished speaking, she felt powerless Sighing, she didn't want to be so anxious about some things, but her son...

Mrs. Shi heard the helplessness in her daughter's tone, and felt a little distressed. After all, it was her daughter who had been hurting for many years, so she slowed down her tone and said angrily: "You! What's the matter? , mother, although I am old and useless, it is still possible to give you advice, besides, what are you worried about? You are so anxious, Brother Can is a filial child, he is your own Yes, how could it not be your son, so I thought about it." Speaking of this, the old lady thought of her eldest son, didn't she just have a daughter-in-law and forget her mother's master, and she felt more and more fond of her daughter.

Shi Lin looked at her mother's demeanor, knowing that this had touched her mother's heart, she felt relieved, it wasn't that she poked her mother's heart on purpose, but that the matter just came to this point, she was just doing it for what she wanted to say later The words paving the way are naturally for the good of the mother. It is not good for the body to prevent the mother from becoming angry and excited after hearing her words for a while. When the atmosphere is here and the opportunity is here, Shi Lin immediately wiped away her tears and said: "Why? Impossible, now he doesn't listen to me a bit, he always thinks about her grandmother and cousins, today is still..." Speaking of this, she can't say much, after all, if the mother knows that the son is not happy The girl at home is going to make trouble.

Seeing that she stopped talking suddenly, the old lady snorted and said, "Come on, I'm not old enough to be confused. No matter how careful you are, you can't hide it from me. Besides, you don't know? I After giving birth to you three brothers and sisters, who is the one who loves you the most? No matter who compares with you, I can’t beat you in my heart. Say it, say it well, don’t miss anything, let’s not hide it from anyone today. .”

After hearing this, Shi Lin couldn't hide it any longer, and said directly: "Brother Can doesn't listen to me these few years, he probably wants to make a fool of her in his heart, and I'm the one who came here today. No, I understand what mother means. You like Sister Fang, but let’s not talk about Sister Fang. If you like Sister Fang, I can’t suffer from Sister Fang! Brother Can has something in his heart Others, it's not good for his future wife. I think that the second girl has a suitable identity, and she doesn't have a mother. She might rely on me in the future. Naturally, it's better for someone like her to marry into the Hou's mansion. How can I care about Brother Can's attitude." Although she didn't say all of these words, it was also part of the reason why she wanted to settle down with the second girl.

After hearing this, the old lady didn't say whether her daughter was right or wrong, she just nodded silently, put aside this first, and said indifferently: "Don't worry about these things, children's families are determined, you and I It’s not that you haven’t hit this age, you’ll throw it away after a few days.”
