Rebirth of the Phoenix

Chapter 34

When Mrs. Wu was invited in, Mrs. Xin couldn't help frowning fiercely when she saw Mrs. Wu's scruffy look.

Indeed, Mrs. Wu's current appearance can only be described as sloppy. She was confinement and could not take a shower or wash her hair. Moreover, Mrs. Wu received someone from Mrs. Chen to send her over while she was resting on the bed. After that, I ran over without changing clothes or washing up at all. In addition, I was crying and making noise at the gate of Meiyuan just now, which made my hair messy, my face was full of tears, and my body It was also covered with dust, no matter what, it had nothing to do with the words clean and tidy!
"You child, why can't you tell my old lady how wronged you are, how embarrassing you have to be, look at this man covered in dirt and tears?" Mrs. Xin said kindly, "I know Ba Niang It hurts in your heart, but you can't spoil your body too much?"

Wu's heart turned cold when she heard this.Talk to you nicely?Tell you well, will you listen? !I'm afraid it's like just now, you won't even see me, right? !Ba Niang is gone, I feel bad, but you, a grandmother, how can you still laugh? !Just because Ba Niang was born to a concubine like me, so you don't care at all? !
When Wu Shi thought of this, the resentment in her heart almost drowned herself!Lowering his head slightly to cover up the real emotions that were inadvertently revealed in his eyes, Mrs. Wu knelt down in front of Mrs. Xin with a "plop", her voice full of grievances and helplessness, "Old lady, Ba Niang Your own granddaughter! You must decide for Ba Niang!"

Mrs. Xin endured the headache and sighed softly, "Get up first, and explain the matter to me clearly! If Ba Niang's death really has hidden secrets, I will naturally make the decision for you."

Crying, Mrs. Wu stood up from the ground, wiped her tears with a handkerchief, and said with a choked voice, "The old lady should invite the madam and the eldest lady over here first! If you have anything to say, let's make it clear in person, lest someone say yes later." The concubine is spreading rumors behind her back." Old fellow, do you want to settle down?It's a good idea!

Mrs. Xin was blocked by Mrs. Wu so softly and softly, so she could only wave her hand and let the servants go to the courtyards to call for someone.Wu Shi made such a big fuss about today's matter, it was impossible to cover it up quietly. I wanted to find out what Wu Shi had mastered first, but I didn't expect Wu Shi to have such a little brain!

In fact, each courtyard has its own manpower in the mansion. Wu's actions just now can't be hidden from those who are interested in it. Besides, Wu's has no intention of hiding it at all.However, these are all private means of everyone after all, and cannot be announced to the public.

Therefore, even though the cause and effect have already been guessed in their hearts, everyone still has to pretend to be confused on the bright side, and will not "suddenly realize" until Mrs. Xin comes to call someone, oh!It turned out that such a thing happened just now!Then hurried to Meiyuan.

But in fact, is it in a hurry, haha, just let everyone know it!

The one who came the fastest was Lin Chengmao. As the head of the family, if he didn't even know what happened in the family, it would be unreasonable!Moreover, Lin Chengmao originally planned to come over to discuss things with Mrs. Xin, but on the way, he met the person from Mei Yuan who had invited him. After learning about the changes that happened here, he naturally speeded up.

On the way to Meiyuan, Lin Chengmao also learned about the incident almost from the mouth of others. Coupled with what he already knew, Lin Chengmao quickly realized that this was an opportunity. A chance to get out of that quagmire on the hall!
So when Lin Chengmao came over, although he was somewhat annoyed that Mrs. Wu had disturbed his mother, more of it was anticipation and joy for what would happen next.However, although Lin Chengmao is happy to see such a thing happen, it does not mean that he will spare Wu Shi lightly.

As soon as Lin Chengmao entered the door, he greeted Mrs. Xin first, and when Mrs. Xin called out, he immediately reprimanded Mrs. Wu, "What's the matter with you?! It's a big deal, you must come here Disturbing the cleanliness of the old lady?!"

Wu shi gritted her teeth bitterly upon hearing this.What is a "big deal"? !Is Ba Niang's death just a "big deal" in your eyes? !
Thinking of this in her heart, Wu's head became hot, and she asked, "Master, what you said is wrong! Someone mutilated your child, the dignified little master of Duke Ding's mansion! How could it be a 'big deal'?" ?!"

"You——" Seeing that Wu Shi dared to contradict him, Lin Chengmao was furious, and raised his hand to give Wu Shi a slap.

When Wu saw Lin Chengmao raised his hand, he didn't admit his mistake. He just stuck his neck like that and got into a fight with Lin Chengmao.

Fortunately, this slap did not fall on Wu Shi's face. The reason was not that Lin Chengmao softened his heart, but because someone came to disrupt the situation——

Lu and Lin Yuting arrived only a little later than Lin Chengmao. After all, part of Lu's power was taken away, and his control over Dingguo's mansion was far inferior to that of Lin Chengmao, so it was difficult to get the news. Later, it doesn't look like Lin Chengmao, who was walking this way.

After receiving Mrs. Xin's summons, the two of them hurried, but they were still a step behind Lin Chengmao. Lin Yuting, a junior, should not have been present for the adults' affairs, but who made Mrs. Wu cry at the gate of the Meiyuan before? , Did you bring Lin Yuting along?Lu could only bring her daughter here, praying secretly in her heart, hoping that Lin Yuting would not act impulsively, and it turned out to be self-defeating!
However, what Lu Shi didn't know was whether Lin Yuting was impulsive today, or even no matter how she responded, the ending waiting for her was already doomed.

Lin Chengmao was able to occupy a high position at a young age, not only because of the saint's compensation psychology at work, but also his own ability should not be underestimated, and being able to stand out from a group of old foxes, it can be seen that Lin Chengmao himself is not A person who sticks to the rules and sticks to dogma.

Originally, Lin Chengmao was ready to be demoted, but once he found out that there were other ways out, he naturally chose the one that was more beneficial to him.He had no feelings for Lu Shi at first, and Lin Chengmao didn't hesitate to sacrifice Lu Shi.Besides, this was not designed by him on purpose, if you insist on it, everything is a coincidence!

How did Lin Chengmao know that his so-called coincidence was designed step by step by his daughter who just passed her fourth birthday? !

Mrs. Lu didn't know what Lin Chengmao was thinking, nor did she know about the crisis in the Changxinhou Mansion, so when she got the news, she was a little caught off guard, but she didn't panic. Take it easy.How did she know that her biggest backer and reliance were already crumbling? !

Lu's face was flustered, but he led Lin Yuting in calmly in his heart, and greeted Mrs. Xin and Lin Chengmao. Seeing Lin Chengmao standing in front of Wu, he put down his raised hand. , Lin Chengmao was about to do something, and he couldn't help but sigh regretfully in his heart, it's really cheap for Mrs. Wu!
"Mr. Lu, you came just in time!" Mrs. Xin raised her eyelids slightly when she saw Mrs. Lu approaching, counting beads in her hand, and asked unhurriedly, "Mrs. Wu said that Ba Niang's premature death is related to you Ma'am, what do you say about this matter?"

Before waiting for Shi Lu to speak, Lin Yuting raised her eyebrows when she heard this, and reflexively wanted to yell at Shi Lu angrily.Lin Yuting herself had a superior status, so don't expect her to say anything nice to a concubine like Wu. As for Lin Yumao's death, Lin Yuting didn't even feel guilty at all!

Fortunately, Mrs. Lu knew her daughter's temperament very well. Seeing Lin Yuting take a small step forward, she knew what she wanted to do, so she quickly grabbed Lin Yuting's arm fiercely.If Lin Yuting opened her mouth like this, she might become troubled if she was fine!

After preventing Lin Yuting from being stupid, Lu finally answered Mrs. Xin's question.

How to say?Of course Mrs. Lu couldn't admit it!Immediately shouted injustice, "The old lady has learned, the daughter-in-law is wronged!"

Mrs. Xin interrupted Lu Shi lightly, "You are wronged or not, you know it in your heart, so you don't need to rush to argue now, let's talk about it when everyone else comes!"

Although Mrs. Xin didn't take Wu Shi seriously, she didn't like Lu Shi too much. She always looked at this daughter-in-law very disliked.Originally, for the stability of Dingguo Mansion, Mrs. Xin wanted to suppress the matter, but now that the Wu family has already had a quarrel, it is better to use the trick and teach Lu a lesson.

Lu Shi choked when he heard the words, and his face became a little ugly.Is it possible that this old woman still wants to let other people come over?He clearly wanted to see her jokes!
But since Mrs. Xin spoke and Lin Chengmao didn't object, then Mrs. Lu couldn't stop her, including Lin Yuting, who has always been hot-tempered. Thinking of what happened a few months ago, she had to swallow her anger.

Lin Chengmao thought about it, and felt that it would be better for him to communicate with his mother first, so that Mrs. Xin would not want to calm things down for a while, but would be self-defeating and ruin his plan.

Thinking of this, Lin Chengmao said, "Mother, it seems that other people will come over later. My son has something to discuss with you first."

Mrs. Xin gave Lin Chengmao a puzzled look.Could it be that he wanted to intercede for Lu Shi?But after thinking about it again, Mrs. Xin thinks it shouldn't be.It was possible in the early years, but in the past few years, Mrs. Xin still knows how the relationship between Lin Chengmao and Lu Shi is, and it is out of the question to treat each other like guests.

Then what else do you have to tell her at this time?Mrs. Xin thought to herself.The matter should not be small, otherwise Lin Chengmao's expression would not be so serious, and it is not suitable for Lu Shi to know. At the same time, it is more urgent. In addition, there should be something that needs his help, which is related to the backyard.

Mrs. Xin had a guess in her heart, so she naturally wouldn't refute Lin Chengmao's face, she nodded immediately and said, "In that case, follow me to the back!" After that, she glanced lightly at Lu Shi and Lin Yuting And Wu Shi, "You guys wait here first."
