Daughter Raiders

Chapter 68 Stepmother
The old lady left the eldest lady for dinner at the Pine Age Hall, so she sent Cuijuan to fetch An Ran.

Before An Ran came, Cui'e brought Tao Ran back first, but saw that the child's eyes were red from crying, and the left side of his face was also red, swollen and oily. It was obvious that he had been injured and had been smeared with medicine. Standing up and walking in front of Tao Ran, slightly squatted down and asked softly, "Where have you been being naughty?"

Tao Ran shyly smiled, but didn't speak; the old lady saw Cui'e gesticulating three secretly, so she took a few deep breaths of anger—this Yu Shi was full and ran to her Pine Age Hall to play wild?

She did not agree to Yu Shi's request to follow the third child out, but Sister Tao is also Yu Shi's own daughter, and beating her own daughter to show her mother-in-law, whether it is a demonstration or a different way to vent her anger, this is not human Do things!

"Sister Tao, come here and show grandma, tell grandma to see if your injury is serious?" The old lady suppressed her anger, fearing that Tao Ran would be frightened.

It can't be said that this child was beaten by his mother and then saw his grandmother furious, right?If this child were to experience two scary things in one day, I'm afraid it would be ruined.

The eldest lady took Tao Ran's hand and led her to the old lady's kang.The old lady looked at it so carefully, and couldn't help but gasped, this, this must be such a hatred, it beat a tender face like this!
In addition, Tao Ran didn't cry or complain, and the old lady felt more and more uncomfortable - a good child was raised by her, but she couldn't protect the child well, she really became immortal, except Taking a few breaths and wasting some food is of no use!
"Mother!" Seeing that her mother-in-law's face was not right, the eldest lady hurriedly stepped forward to support the old lady's shoulder, "What's the matter with you, if you feel uncomfortable, you can talk, how can you be so stubborn!"

Her mother-in-law has always been very temperamental. In the early years, she was irritated by some bad things every two days. Later, for the sake of her health, she simply just stayed in the backyard and didn't bother with the affairs of the small house. After hiding for a few years of leisure, my body gradually recovered.

But the current appearance is almost the same as when he was ill with anger a few years ago. Could it be that he has a chronic illness!

"Cui'e go get Su Hexiang pills!" The eldest lady called out, but before Cui'e could respond, she saw Tao Ran trot into the old lady's inner room, and ran out holding a wax pill in the blink of an eye.

Cui'e hurriedly took the wax pill, and seeing that it was the Suhexiang pill that was always placed on the bedside in the inner room, she went to pour water to feed the old lady the medicine, Tao Ran didn't make a sound, just trotted out the door again, Qing then called Mama Shen and Mama Tong to come, Cuijiao and Cuichan followed closely behind.

After all the people rushed to serve the old lady and used the medicine, the kang was almost removed from the kang, and the old lady was helped to lie on the kang to rest, and Madam Tong took the pair of cards given by the eldest lady to invite the imperial doctor. Only then did she breathe a sigh of relief, and Shen's mother asked Cui'e in a low voice what happened.

Cui'e shook her head slightly, and signaled that the old lady was lying there, let's put this matter aside; Shen's mother also saw Tao Ran's face at this time, she couldn't help being surprised—could it be Miss Six who did something wrong? Provoked the old lady to beat someone, and made herself angry?
Tao Ran didn't seem to notice the people's inquisitive glances, just slipped along the wall to the kang, tightly held the hand of grandma on one side with one hand, and gently stroked grandma's chest with the other hand.

"Grandmother is much better, you should rest too." The old lady told Tao Ran softly as she lay there.

The child's face was full of annoyance, and he always turned his injured face to one side so that she wouldn't see it. Was it because he was afraid that she would feel distressed?When the old lady thought about it, she couldn't help but feel a little guilty—the reason why she got so angry was because she felt that Mrs. Yu had challenged her dignity as a mother-in-law. As for how the child was injured, it really didn't matter...

"When your Mama Tong calls the imperial physician, ask him to show you first, it will be ugly if you turn into a big and small face in the future." The old lady laughed and teased Tao Ran, "You just took the medicine for grandma quickly, grandma It's all right."

Tao Ran hastily withdrew his hand to cover his face, shaking his head like a rattle.Those imperial physicians often walked around in various houses, and they had so much experience, they couldn't tell at a glance that her face had been slapped. If this spread... the reputation of the Su Mansion would be terrible.

"If you can't even control your own mouth, what kind of imperial doctor will you be?" The old lady comforted Tao Ran with a smile, "You are still young, so naturally you don't understand the truth."

Tao Ran also pursed his lips and nodded with a smile, saying that I always listened to my grandmother, but in my heart I scolded myself as a Buddha who was born and two Buddhas ascended to heaven.

If it was true what my grandmother said, the imperial physicians would keep their mouths shut no matter which clinic they went to for consultation, but why was she acting so stupid and telling Yan Ran that the imperial physician diagnosed her as pregnant with a boy?She is simply asking for her own death!
It seems that if you want to live a peaceful life, not only do you have to be more scheming, but you also have to keep a lot of things secret.

Cuijuan also brought Anran here at this time, seeing the old lady lying on the kang weakly, the expressions of everyone under the kang were also very serious, half of Tao Ran's face was terribly red and swollen, Cuijuan didn't dare to say anything, An Ran immediately threw off Cuijuan's hand and ran to the edge of the kang, asking repeatedly with great concern: "What happened to grandma? What happened to Sister Tao?"

Tao Ran felt guilty again, tears filled his eyes unconsciously, and whispered, "It's all my fault, if I behaved better and didn't make my mother angry, my mother wouldn't hit me; if my mother didn't hit me , and won’t anger grandma…”

"What, your face was hit by the third aunt?" An Ran's eyes widened in surprise.

Their eldest room has never had such a thing!The mother treats the concubine very kindly, let alone touch anyone with a finger, why the third aunt... is as vicious as a stepmother!
"An Ran!" The eldest wife stopped her daughter in a deep voice: "Your third aunt is your elder, what mother and stepmother, should you criticize such a child!"

Although An Ran was not convinced, she didn't dare to say anything, but the old lady sneered on the kang, "I heard what Sister An said is right."

"Sister Tao is just a little bit of a villain. If you say a big mouth, you can make a big mouth. I would rather she is Tao sister's stepmother, so I can teach her a lesson!"

"Grandmother, don't be angry, it's all my fault!" Tao Ran threw herself back to the kang and held the old lady's chest: "It's okay for Sister Tao to be wronged a bit, but don't be angry with grandma."

The eldest lady stood aside and shook her head secretly and sighed——her mother-in-law can speak the truth and use her wrists, but she is a bit tempered; no matter who touches her mother-in-law, she can kill others The treatment was like eating Coptis chinensis, but the mother-in-law herself killed one thousand enemies and harmed eight hundred. It seems that this kind of strong temper can be regarded as a double-edged sword.

At this time, there was a burst of eager small steps coming from the main hall, and then a timid voice of a little girl sounded outside the door: "Sister Cui'e, sister Cuijuan, the old master and the third master are back!"
