Chapter 429
"Let's talk about it later." Director Lin held his head in suspense, and it took him a long time to utter such a sentence.

The silly old woman shook her head when she heard this, this Linzi had been around Master Hou for a long time, and he had also learned to be taciturn, which was often unpredictable.

"Think about what I said carefully, and think about the two children if you don't think about yourself. They are still young and get along with their stepmother. If they grow up, there will probably be a estrangement." The silly woman is still there Trying my best to persuade.

Manager Lin felt that there was some truth to this statement, but he still didn't nod his head in agreement.

Ruoxi and Tian's family are both going to give birth, and the inner courtyard of the Hou Mansion is waiting in full force.The ancestor even sent people to visit twice a day, morning and evening, and Mrs. Hou often came and went between Linfengju and Bianyan Pavilion.

Seeing her working so hard, Yixuan and Ruoxi comforted her not to do this.

"My wife has been running back and forth for me, and I really feel sorry for it. There are still a few days before the delivery. When I feel that my stomach hurts and I'm going to give birth, I will definitely send someone to report to my wife." Ruoxi felt embarrassed to work on Madam Hou like this.

Madam Hou replied while drinking tea: "You don't have to worry too much, I'm staying in Lianyan Pavilion, and the steward's daughter-in-law below knows to come here to look for me. I don't have to shy away from you about the housekeeper's affairs, sooner or later I want to leave it to you to take care of it, so you can listen to it right now. Besides, my place is not far from Linfeng Residence, and I have a good appetite for walking around. I have been used to the meals in your small kitchen for the past few days, and I think it is very appetizing. I didn’t really like the dinner when I went back.”

"If my wife likes to eat here every day, I'm just afraid that the master won't see my wife thinking about it. Why don't I let the cook go to the Biyan Pavilion to serve her, and the girl who helps her probably has learned it too." Ruoxi said with a smile.

Mrs. Hou's eyes flickered when she heard this, and then she replied with a smile: "You young couples don't feel comfortable being together for a while. Master Hou and I are already an old couple. tongue."

"How dare the daughter-in-law make fun of her in-laws?" Ruoxi hurriedly explained, "It is precisely because the wife and the master have been married for a long time that they become more aware of the master's living habits, and the master is also used to his wife's care. These days, because the wife is worried about me If you come here often, you must ignore the master. I am afraid that the master will not get used to it and feel uncomfortable, is it not filial to be a daughter-in-law?"

"You are a child who thinks more carefully! Those aunts in the mansion have not been in the mansion for a year or two, especially Aunt Zhao, who is very attentive in serving Master Hou, so don't worry if she is here." Madam Hou drank tea with her head bowed. .

Ruoxi couldn't see her expression clearly, but she felt a sense of loneliness emanating from her body.In the blink of an eye, I saw her raise her head with a smile, her face still had a peaceful and loving smile, maybe it was an illusion.

At this time, a little girl came in from outside to look for Mrs. Hou, and said that Lord Hou came back to find a robe to drink at Lord Wang's mansion, but she couldn't find it.

"It's enough to change to one, why bother to wear that one?" Madam Hou said with a slight frown.

After hearing this, the girl hurriedly replied: "Aunt Zhao said the same thing, she was scolded by the master and sent back to the room. Sister Shanxi saw the master came into the study angrily, so she hurriedly sent the slaves to report to the wife."

It must have been stimulated by something outside, Aunt Zhao is usually very smart, why did she bump into the muzzle of the gun at this time?Madam Hou got up to go back, but Ruoxi smelled an unknown smell from it.

"Which kind of clothes is Hou Ye going to wear?" Mrs. Hou asked as she walked.

The little girl replied: "It seems to be a plain white robe, with the pattern of Wanfu embroidered with dark brown silk thread on it. The slaves don't remember that the master wore this robe, sister Shanxi and the others searched and searched all the boxes but couldn't find it, probably the master made a mistake. "

Mrs. Hou's footsteps faltered when she heard this, and the little girl looked thoughtful when she saw her stop and did not want to disturb her.

For a moment, she sighed deeply and continued to walk forward, but her heart was already ups and downs, and she lost her previous calmness and calmness.

Back in the room, she sent all the servants out, took out the key to open the closet, and took out a box from it.

The box looks very delicate, it is estimated that there are very precious things inside.She opened it gently, and carefully took out a piece of clothing from the inside. It was a plain white robe with patterns of blessings embroidered with dark brown silk thread.

Her hands slowly stroked the clothes, falling into memories.That year, when Lord Hou celebrated his birthday, she secretly made this robe and wanted to give it to him as a gift.Unexpectedly, when eating, Aunt Zhao took out the clothes she made by herself first, and Lord Hou put them on right then and praised Aunt Zhao for her ingenuity.

As the mistress, if she took out her clothes under such circumstances, wouldn't she appear to be jealous of her concubine?Every year after Master Hou's birthday, Aunt Zhao would make a dress by herself, but the only one Mrs. Hou made was packed up.

If the girl hadn't mentioned it today, I'm afraid she wouldn't have taken it out, it would have been lying alone in the box until it rotted.But how did Lord Hou know about this dress?Probably the girl heard it wrong, or he couldn't speak clearly.

A girl's greeting came from outside, and Mrs. Hou knew that Lord Hou had come in, so she quickly put the clothes in the box and locked them in the cabinet.

Just as the key was put away, Master Hou had already stepped in.There was no abnormality in his expression, but Mrs. Hou could feel that he was in a bad mood, after all they had been husband and wife for so many years.

"Master Hou is going to the palace to have a wedding. When will we leave? My concubine ordered someone to prepare the carriage." She hurriedly stepped forward and asked.

Ding Bohou snorted softly as a promise, and Mrs. Hou ordered someone to make arrangements when she heard it.He sat for a while and stood up, walked to the door and suddenly turned his head and said, "Master, come to sleep at night, keep the door open!"

Uh!Before Mrs. Hou could react, he had already strode away.

Ever since Mrs. Hou canceled the rule that she must stay in the main house on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar new year, and allowed the concubines to stay with Lord Hou for breakfast, those concubines tried their best to fight for favor.But after all, they cared about Mrs. Hou and didn't dare to make it too obvious.Since it was harmless, Mrs. Hou pretended not to know and let them go.

So during this period of time, Lord Hou didn't have time to spend the night in the upper room, and he didn't even have breakfast in the upper room.In the past few days, Mrs. Hou often lived in Linfeng Residence again, and they saw each other less and less often.

When Mrs. Hou heard him say that he would come over at night, she was surprised for a while, and immediately thought that something had happened.Thinking of his losing his temper with Aunt Zhao because of his clothes, he confirmed his thoughts even more.

Now that it is the first day of the new year, Mrs. Hou can enter the palace to meet Concubine De to express her family relationship. This is also an imperial decree issued by the emperor to show compassion for parents and family ethics.Maybe Master Hou had something to pass on to Concubine De, so he came here at night.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Hou felt relieved, and ordered the kitchen to prepare hangover soup and hot water in advance, in case Lord Hou came back.
