Chapter 438: Less Welfare (3)
The room was quiet, only the sound of the pendulum of the clock in the corner swinging.

"Crack!" Master Hou threw the book in his hand on the couch, his brows were slightly frowned, as if impatient.

Mrs. Hou's eyes flashed when she saw it, and she asked softly: "Master Hou is not feeling well? Aunt Zhao has stewed soup, and my concubine sent someone to fetch it?"

I don't know why, ever since Mrs. Hou saw the devotion and infatuation of her son and uncle, she felt a little more sentimental and lost than her age.Facing Master Hou, he lost his usual calmness and composure, and subconsciously didn't want to face Master Hou alone.

Thinking that he was still with his aunt just now, smelling the fragrance of other women on his body, knowing that he had slept with other women just now... Mrs. Hou felt a little uncomfortable.

She knew that it was all because of her own greed, her husband respected her, her daughter was a noble concubine, her son and daughter-in-law were filial, and now she had smart and lovely twin grandchildren, what else could she be dissatisfied with?There is no master who has three wives and four concubines, and there are not no gangsters who spoil their concubines and destroy their wives.Although Master Hou prefers Aunt Zhao, but these years he has always followed Mrs. Hou on matters of principle.Mrs. Hou knows something about the inner courtyard of the upper class society in Kyoto, she can be regarded as a person who can enjoy life with peace of mind.

She understands all these reasons, and she has been secretly comforting herself recently, but she just can't handle this hurdle.Seeing that Aunt Zhang was pregnant, Master Hou went to eat with her every night, and her heart became more and more unbalanced.Thinking back when she was pregnant, she had to send Master Hou to her aunt's room. She never dared to dominate Master Hou because she was pregnant, for fear of humiliating the face of the main family and losing the love of her mother-in-law.

She also knew that she was no match for Ruoxi and Wan Xia, how could she expect the Hou Ye who had passed half her life to suddenly change?Besides, I have been living like this for more than 20 years, and the rest of the days are plain and happy.But in the end, he was unwilling, so he had no choice but to send Master Hou to his aunt, out of sight and pure in heart!

So she deliberately mentioned Aunt Zhao, hoping that Lord Hou could spend the night there.

But as soon as she finished speaking, Ding Bohou stood up, turned around and entered the inner room.She was startled and hurried in, and saw Lord Hou sitting by the bed with a bad expression on his face.

It seems that he made up his mind to live here tonight, how dare Mrs. Hou refuse?She hurried over to help Lord Hou take off his clothes, glanced into his eyes and said softly: "The pair of twins are really beautiful and cute. They knew people when they landed. They don't cry or make troubles. They are very well-behaved. The old lady likes it very much." , straight to Wang’s family’s prosperity and wealth after giving birth to dragon and phoenix twins in advance. People say that this dragon and phoenix twin is a good omen, no wonder the old lady is happy. But the concubine thinks this auspiciousness is a gimmick, the key is that we have healthy grandsons and granddaughters. These years , because everyone is worrying about Yijun. It has gradually eased since the daughter-in-law entered the door, but it is always a pity. Now it is finally a worry, the big stone in the heart is gone, I feel There are too many things to look forward to in life. The day after tomorrow is the day when the children wash their hands, and then Lord Hou will be able to see his grandson and granddaughter. It’s really not an ordinary likable!"

Mentioning the twins, Mrs. Hou's face was filled with smiles.Hou Ye's expression softened a lot when he heard the words, and there was more expectation in his eyes.Due to etiquette, he couldn't go to Linfengju to see the child, but it was his own grandson and granddaughter, how could he not think about it?What's more, there is Yijun with physical defects in front of him, and twins are a good omen. The birth of these two children is extraordinary.

Seeing his reaction, Mrs. Hou said softly: "The girl Wan Xia is pregnant and can't move back and forth. I want to let Aunt Zhao go and have a look. After all, it is a childbirth, and I must be thinking about it. Wan Xia is also in a bad mood when she sees her." It'll be fine, lest I worry."

Ding Bohou heard that the expression on his face that had just eased was ugly, and it was much darker than before.Seeing this, Mrs. Hou didn't dare to say any more, but she became puzzled in her heart.What kind of big mistake did this Aunt Zhao make?

"You are really virtuous, with the demeanor of a mistress!" Master Hou snorted heavily, then pushed Madam Hou's hand away, shook off his shoes, went to bed and lay down.

Seeing him turning his back to her angrily, Mrs. Hou was a little at a loss.Lord Hou, is this because he vented his anger on behalf of Aunt Zhao?What did he mean by that sentence?
She stood on the ground in a daze, and was thinking about picking up her shoes when she heard Hou Ye coldly ordering: "Turn off the lights and go to sleep!"

She didn't care about picking up the shoes, so she hurriedly turned off the lights and got under the covers.

She was a little tired today, and fell asleep after a while.Hearing her even breathing, Ding Bohou slowly turned around.In the dim moonlight, he saw Mrs. Hou's quiet and plain face, without any makeup on it, completely different from the heavy makeup worn by his aunts.

Especially Aunt Zhao, she had to put on a delicate makeup before going to bed at night.Pretty is beautiful, but after a long time, Master Hou felt that she seemed to be wearing a mask day and night, and he had somewhat forgotten her real appearance under the makeup.

She slept soundly, and there was a faint smell of lemon in her breath, which made people feel very comfortable.

Hou Ye thought of her more than 20 years ago, she was a little more childish and innocent than now, but a little less noble and elegant.At that time, she would occasionally show an innocent smile, which made him feel a little moved.But I don't know when it started, that kind of smile gradually became less and finally disappeared.Her body is more dignified and rich, and she always has a gentle and virtuous appearance, making people unable to find fault, but there is a vague layer of estrangement.

Later, he married several aunts one after another, and the charming and charming Aunt Zhao quickly aroused his interest.However, he knows the difference between wives and concubines, and always respects her opinion in everything, and he can safely leave the inner courtyard to her.On the first and fifteenth day of the lunar new year, she was in her room, having dinner with her every morning and evening, and discussing matters in the house with him.For the rest of the day, I just go to a few aunts' houses, and it has become an unruly rule for more than twenty years.

But ever since she changed the rules on the first day, the fifteenth day of the lunar new year, and the meal rules, those aunts have been beating chicken blood, seducing herself in different ways every day.This cooks soup, that one pretends to be sick, Aunt Zhang is even worse, she is pregnant.He should be happy to be contended by his aunt like this, and his wife still looks generous and virtuous, but it just annoys him.

He always felt that something was missing in his heart, and now Aunt Zhao ordered someone to hint, so he dismissed it with a few words of reproach.I couldn't help coming to the room, knowing that she was not there, drinking tea while waiting for my heart to settle down inexplicably.

The moment he saw her coming in, Ding Bohou felt a flash of joy in his heart.She went in after saying a word, and the way she came out made his heart move again.She sat next to him without saying a word, and suddenly he became annoyed, but when she heard her talking to him, the anger disappeared immediately.He was immediately annoyed when he heard that she pleaded for Aunt Zhao in a different way and wanted to go to Aunt Zhao herself.
