clothing incense

Chapter 91

The night was getting dark, keys were dropped everywhere in the inner courtyard of the Marquis of Shengchang, Xiang Ru took the keys by herself, took two rough envoy maids and a woman in charge of the lamp, and led Sheng Xiuyi and Dong Yuan to Yuanyang Pavilion.

Qiangwei and Ziwei, Dongyuan's maidservants, followed behind, also holding a horn lamp to light the way.

He walked in a hurry, the shadows of the lights flickered, and the surroundings were eerily quiet.

Today is the first day of May, the sky is full of stars and there is no moonlight.

"Is Lord Hou not here?" Sheng Xiuyi asked Xiang Ru.

"The first wife of Yongningbo's mansion is full of clothes today, Lord Hou has gone to give gifts, probably to stay for a drink, and will not come back." Xiang Ru said.

That's why he called Sheng Xiuyi to come and call the shots late at night?

It is obvious that only Sheng Xiuyi can be called, and Mrs. Sheng can also call Dong Yuan. Does this mean that Mrs. Sheng has already confirmed her as a daughter-in-law?
The second grandma is not well, so she came to call Sheng Xiuyi and his wife instead of calling the imperial doctor. Of course it was not illness, but something happened.It is human nature for a new daughter-in-law who has only been in the house for ten days to hide something from her when something is going on at home, Dong Yuan can't complain.

Mrs. Sheng didn't hide from her, Dong Yuan could feel her mother-in-law's trust in her, and she even valued her a little.

This is a great place to start.

A group of people hurriedly walked through the courtyard corridor of Marquis Shengchang, and arrived at Mrs. Sheng's Yuanyang Pavilion after a stick of incense.

In the brightly lit room, the maids and wives of Yuanyang Pavilion held their breaths and walked slowly. Second Mistress's high and low cries were transmitted to the courtyard through the quiet carved window lattice, which was extraordinarily clear.

Hearing the sound of the courtyard door opening, Mother Kang, who was beside Mrs. Sheng, rushed out to welcome her.

Seeing Dong Yuan and Sheng Xiuyi, he bowed his knees and saluted them.

Sheng Xiuyi nodded slightly, and quickly walked into the east room of Mrs. Sheng's living and banqueting place.Dong Yuan followed closely, and then also entered the house.

Mother Kang ordered Xiangru to arrange Qiangwei and Ziwei in the warm pavilion to wait for a while, and after she went in, she closed the door of the main room.

Dong Yuan entered the Dongci Room, and saw the second master Sheng Xiuhai kneeling on the ground.He was still wearing a sapphire blue cocoon straight gown, which was the same one when he said hello in the afternoon, so it can be seen that he has not left.Although he was kneeling, he straightened his back, as if he was fighting Mrs. Sheng to the end.

Mrs. Sheng did not respond to his resistance. She sat on the big kang by the window, reclining on the big silver-red Wanshou Wujiang ink pillow, propped her head on one hand, and closed her eyes slightly. Stretching her back, help her to relax.

Hearing Dong Yuan and Sheng Xiuyi's footsteps, Mrs. Sheng opened her eyes, with a bit of sadness and helplessness in her eyes, and waved to Sheng Xiuyi and his wife.

Dong Yuan and Sheng Xiuyi bypassed the second master Sheng Xiuhai and came to Mrs. Sheng.

Mrs. Sheng took Dong Yuan's hand, her voice was weak: "Ah Yuan, go and persuade your second younger sibling, she cried so hard that mother's head exploded."

Second Mistress was crying in Mrs. Sheng's inner room.

Dong Yuan looked at Mrs. Sheng worriedly: "Mother, are you okay? Do you want to go and rest first?"

"Mother is fine." Madam Sheng had a slight smile on her face, "Go in and see your second sibling."

Only then did Dong Yuan bend his knees and turn around to go to the inner room.

Mother Kang came over, supported Dong Yuan, and said to her in a low voice: "Grandma, madam's dinner is useless. The second master and the second mistress have been arguing since dusk. You can persuade madam to eat some snacks later."

Dong Yuan said she knew.

Entering the inner room, I saw that the forehead of the second grandmother Ge Shi was red and swollen, the hairpin rings were messy, and her face was full of tears.She was still crying, when she saw Dong Yuan coming in, she stepped over and grabbed her hand, almost slipping Dong Yuan with her.

She pulled Dong Yuan onto the kang, and cried loudly: "Sister-in-law, you have to make the decision for me! I have no way out in the Sheng family, and I want to marry a scumbag to be a common wife!"

Dong Yuan's heart trembled slightly, it turned out that the second master wanted to marry a flat wife!
Who will you marry?
Dong Yuan just came, and he didn't hear any wind.

But a family like theirs is not a small family, and they would be laughed at if they marry a flat wife. How could Mrs. Sheng agree?

Dong Yuan finally understood what was going on.

Her hand hurt from being pulled by the second grandmother, so she could only comfort her: "Second brother and sister, mother will make the decision for you, so don't be sad. Have you eaten yet? I'll accompany you to the Nuan Pavilion for some snacks."

Second Mistress shook her head, but she didn't let go of Dong Yuan's hand, and cried: "What else do I eat? Sister Hui and I can't save our lives. Well, the second master of the Sheng family wants to marry a flat wife and bully us. Is anyone there?"

The grandfather of the second grandmother, Ge Shi, was the concubine brother of Uncle Yongxi who went first. Since his grandfather's generation, he has been separated and lived alone. After three generations, he has not been very close to the direct line of Uncle Yongxi's mansion.Ge Shi herself is a concubine's daughter, even though the second master Sheng Xiuhai is a concubine, at least he is the son of the Shengchang Marquis Mansion, Ge Shi usually does not dare to speak out about Yongxi Bo's mansion, lest it will make people laugh.

Now that she has nowhere to go, she thought of Uncle Yongxi's mansion.

Ge Shi's father is only Uncle Yongxi's cousin, and he has long since lost affection with Uncle Yongxi.Ge Shi has been in Sheng's family for almost eight years, and has only one daughter. Yongxibo Mansion has no control over her affairs.Ge Shi knew it herself, so when she talked about Uncle Yongxi's Mansion, she lacked momentum.

She kept holding onto Dong Yuan's hand, as if seeking shelter.

But Dong Yuan also said that he didn't understand the cause and effect of the matter, so naturally he didn't dare to say anything nonsense, so he could only comfort her with some clichés, and said: "Second brother and sister, mother has been tired all day, and dinner is useless. Second Master If you do something wrong, it is the second master's disobedience. If you make such a noise, it is your disobedience. According to me, the second master is wrong, so why should you follow suit?"

Hearing Dong Yuan's hand, Ge Shi moved his eyes, immediately silenced, stopped crying, and said: "Sister-in-law said, it's because I'm in a hurry, only caring about my own happiness, forgetting mother, damn it!"

After finishing speaking, he picked up the handkerchief to wipe away his tears, and let go of Dong Yuan's hand.

The wrist that was held by Ge Shi was burning hot and uncomfortable, Dong Yuan hurriedly withdrew the wrist.

When the inner room became quiet, Mama Kang asked her servant girl to bring water to wash the face of the second grandma Ge Shi, and then cleaned her hands to even out her face, and Xiangrui who was beside her also helped to comb her hair, tied her hair up again, and inserted pearl flowers.

And the Dongci room separated by a curtain is always quiet, without any sound.

Mrs. Sheng didn't speak, and the second master and Sheng Xiuyi were also silent.

Dong Yuan saw that Second Mistress had calmed down, so he walked gently to the felt curtain and looked out.

Mrs. Sheng was sitting on the kang, Sheng Xiuyi was sitting opposite her, and the second master was kneeling, the atmosphere was very stiff, and the big maid serving beside her, Citron, didn't dare to vent her anger.

After a long while, Mrs. Sheng finally said softly to Citron: "Go and see Second Mistress. If you're all right, tell her to go back to Xigui Courtyard to rest."

Citron said yes, got up and got off the kang.

Dong Yuan quietly retreated to the big kang by the window.

Second Mistress Ge Shi asked her softly, "What did you say?"

Dong Yuan shook his head and said nothing, waved his hand at her, and Citron came in.

"Second Mistress, Madam said that it is late at night, and I will send you to Xigui Courtyard to rest. Come back tomorrow to greet Madam." Citron greeted Ge Shi and said.

When Second Mistress heard this, her expression faltered, and she hurriedly got up and rushed back from the inner room after a moment's pause, not even bothering to put on her shoes.

With such a rush, she almost bumped into Citron who was standing opposite her, but it was Dong Yuan and Mother Kang who were quick to support Citron.

She rushed out and threw herself in front of Mrs. Sheng's kang, Sheng Xiuyi was also slightly taken aback.

Mrs. Sheng sighed irritably.

The second grandma ignored her and cried: "Mother, if you say something, the daughter-in-law will be willing to die. The daughter-in-law was married by three matchmakers and six recruits from the Sheng family. It's not like the shameless one who came here secretly. The daughter-in-law gave birth to Sister Hui Son, I have been filial to my parents-in-law and my aunt for many years, and I think it is not a big mistake. If the Sheng family wants to divorce their daughter-in-law, the only way for her to die is to be innocent!"

Mrs. Sheng frowned, but her voice was gentle: "Get up, it's cold on the ground. When did mother say she would abandon you?"

Xiangru, Xiangyu, and Mother Kang wanted to help her, but Second Mistress struggled to push away the crowd and hugged Mrs. Sheng's leg: "Mother, if Second Master insists on marrying a flat wife, why not kill me first! As long as I If you still have a breath, this matter will be impossible! Mother, you have to make the decision for your daughter-in-law!"

"Alright, mother will decide for you!" Mrs. Sheng sighed, winking at Mama Kang and others.

Kang's mother stepped forward to pull the second grandma.

Second Mistress tightly hugged Mrs. Sheng's leg and kept crying.

Mrs. Sheng had a buzzing headache and her complexion was not very good.

The second master Sheng Xiuhai, who was kneeling on the ground, got up suddenly, grabbed the second mistress by the back of his clothes, and shook her away forcefully: "Have you had enough trouble!"

Second Mistress fell heavily on the floor of the Dongci room with a loud thud.

She was thrown to the ground by the second master, and it took a long time for her to know how to cry.

"Stop making trouble!" The silent Sheng Xiuyi suddenly raised his voice, covering Second Grandma's crying.

Second Mistress was startled by him for a moment, and immediately stopped crying.

"Ah Yuan, go back to Xigui Courtyard with your second younger sibling." Sheng Xiuyi said to Dong Yuan with a serious face.

Dong Yuan hurriedly said yes, asked Kang's mother to help the second grandma, and asked Xiangru to call her maids, Qiangwei and Ziwei.

"You go back to Jingsheyuan from Xiguiyuan to rest, you don't need to come back again." Sheng Xiuyi said again.

The second grandma was thrown by the second master. She didn't know whether she was scared or fell hard. Her face was purple and ugly.She looked at the stern Sheng Xiuyi, the heartless second master Sheng Xiuhai, and the mother-in-law who had no opinion, and her heart sank.No matter how much trouble there was, nothing could be changed, so he followed Dong Yuan's hand and walked out of Yuanyang Pavilion.

Xiangru called Qiangwei and Ziwei, Dongyuan's maids, and Ding Xiang, the second grandma's maid, and sent them out.

"People in the Sheng family don't have a single good thing!" On the way, Second Mistress cried and said to Dong Yuan, "Sister-in-law, our sister-in-law has a hard life!"

Dong Yuan just supported her and didn't answer the words.

She grabbed Dong Yuan's hand again: "You don't believe me? You will know when you are pregnant! There is no good person in the Sheng family!"

Dong Yuan's heart skipped a few beats.

The second master of the second room, Sheng Xiuhai, is only one year younger than Sheng Xiuyi, and up to now he only has one daughter, Sheng Lehui.The second master's several concubines have no children, and the second grandmother only gave birth to sister Hui, and there is no further movement.

Dong Yuan's back felt a little cold.

"Second brother and sister, we are also members of the Sheng family!" Dong Yuan said softly.

Second Mistress was stunned for a moment, then she was so angry that she couldn't say anything, when Dong Yuan sent her to the door, she turned around and said fiercely to Dong Yuan: "Stupid!"
