The Concubine's Survival Manual

Chapter 276

Time quickly flowed through Pingguo's mansion like water.

After the Seventh Seventh of the Fifth Young Madam, the funeral officially came to an end, and the summer seemed to be gone with it. It was only the end of June, and the capital city already had the feeling of autumn.Qiniangzi didn't expect that this year's summer would be so short, and she suffered from wind and cold in the sympathy of the seasons. She was sick for a few days, and Mrs. Xu couldn't stand it, so she simply took over the housework and asked Qiniangzi to take care of it. It was good to sleep hard for a few days.

Mrs. Xu has been living here for more than a month since she came back in May, and she hasn't mentioned the matter of going to Xiaotangshan. Naturally, the family members are a little surprised. Even Xu Fengjia and Qin Niangzi mentioned it in private, and they are a little thoughtful, " It's not that I don't want my mother to live at home, but Xiaotangshan is so comfortable in summer, and there's not much going on at home, if she doesn't go to Xiaotangshan, is she really waiting for Fifth Brother?"

After these few days of resting thoughtlessly, Seventh Lady felt much better. She glanced at Xu Fengjia with a half-smile, but she didn't intend to answer.

Mrs. Xu didn't go back to Xiaotangshan, of course it was because she was waiting for Fifth Young Master.

Sending the Fifth Young Master to Yangzhou for the funeral was indeed a good move. This move allowed Duke Ping to have enough space to think about how to arrange the Fifth Young Master. , Mrs. Xu has room to talk about conditions and affection. Moreover, once the tense atmosphere that was seen at that time disappeared, people will often forget it. When it comes to disposing of the fifth young master, everyone will naturally think of "the fifth young lady committed suicide as a teenager." , although it is their own fault, but the end is also very bleak, if you continue to pursue the fifth young master, it will always seem a little too harsh'.

No matter how cruel Mr. Pingguo was to his servants, he would always be the father of the Fifth Young Master. Now Mrs. Fifth Young Master put all the blame on herself—this trick was Jiang Taigong who took the bait from fishing volunteers. Seventh Lady and Xu Fengjia Of course he would not take the bait, but Ping Guogong himself seemed to have taken the bait willingly.That being the case, it is impossible to expel Fifth Young Master from the Xu family.

Throughout May and June, the Xu family was still in shock after the death of the fifth young lady. Not only did they have to deal with many trivial matters and arrange etiquette, but there were also many personnel changes, which occupied the attention of Seventh Lady.In addition, the Fourth Young Madam's fetus was really a little unstable, and after returning to the Pingguo Mansion, she tossed and tossed endlessly, and she simply went back to her mother's house, and the Liao family of the fifth room committed suicide by taking poison for some reason, and took the fetus on her body with her. He also died together: After all, he has the flesh and blood of the Xu family, even though he is not the master, he still needs to be mourned.After everything was settled, Qin Niangzi fell ill immediately, and it was only at this time that Xu Fengjia had the thought to discuss with Qin Niangzi, "I don't know what father will do with Fifth Brother."

It is already impossible to pretend that nothing happened, that is, everyone can erase the past and pretend that nothing happened, but if the fifth young master still has a little face, he will not be able to stand up in the capital .How to send the fifth young master to other places, and where to send them, is another subject of knowledge.

Seventh Lady has made up her mind a long time ago that she will not say a word about the Xu family, especially Duke Ping and Mrs. Xu, unless Xu Fengjia herself speaks about their bad things, otherwise she will never say more. Saying a word, she just smiled and listened to Xu Fengjia's own analysis and reasoning, and then reminded Xu Fengjia, "We still have another confession of Qiu Zhi in our hands. If you are worried about your father being soft-hearted, do you want to take this confession?" Get out and figure it out for yourself."

No matter how smart I am, Xu Fengjia is still in charge of many things.Especially in the interaction with Duke Heping, there is no reason for Seventh Lady to overstep her role.Ping Guogong didn't intend to talk too much if she didn't want to show this ration, it all depends on what Xu Fengjia wants.

Xu Fengjia didn't seem to have thought of this move, so he pondered for a moment, and after a while, he said slowly, "The matter on the boat is over now after all, the fifth sister-in-law admitted it herself, and there is no physical evidence for a confession." , so what if I just mention it again. Father needs to understand many things, he will understand no matter what, if he pretends to be confused, he will not understand no matter what."

He can see through this layer, which shows that he is really cold towards Duke Ping, and Qin Niangzi didn't intend to comfort him with words, but said indifferently, "You are full-fledged now, and father will inevitably think about the other sons. , it’s not partial.”

Xu Fengjia lowered his brows and pondered for a long time, his hearty face showed a rare bit of depression and a trace of genuine sadness.

"Hey, it's not partiality." He said softly, "Indeed...my father is not partiality to me."

The room fell silent for a moment, and after a while, Xu Fengjia cheered up again, stood up and walked around the room for a few steps, then asked Seventh Lady, "Mother wants to separate the family, did she tell you? What do you think about it?"

Although Qin Niangzi had been mentally prepared for a long time, she still couldn't help being a little surprised when she heard the word separation.

Parents are present, regardless of family division, the big families in the capital, even when their parents are present, they will wait until the old man is old enough to have only one breath left, and he is not worried about the problem of evenly dividing the family. The property was divided before death, even if it is so, it is often ridiculed that the brothers in the family are not in harmony, and even the division of the family cannot reassure the elderly.The most common one is that after the death of the male master, all the households will be separated except for the heirs.Some families are more harmonious, and the word separation is not mentioned until the hostess has passed away.

Like the Xu family, Duke Ping and Mrs. Xu are both alive and young, and Mrs. Tai is even alive and well. If they mention the separation of the family now, the whole family will really be discussed and melted!

"I don't think this is feasible." She said bluntly, and then softened her voice to comfort Xu Fengjia, "Although it seems that the grievances of Fifth Sister's death are still unfinished, the fifth room is gone now. I think fourth brother looks like that , I was quite shocked by what happened to the fifth room. Let alone the eldest brother, the seventh and eighth brothers are still young, so even if they don’t separate families, it’s fine.”

Xu Fengjia turned her eyes away, murmured, then let out a long breath, and said, "If you don't separate your family, you will never be able to rest, let alone give birth, even with this body, I don't think it will get better. "

Although Mrs. Xu has been away from the center of power in the past few years, she has experienced it after all. How could such a ridiculous idea of ​​separating the family come from her head.Qin Niangzi suddenly understood: It turned out that Xu Fengjia was thinking about her...

She didn't know what it was like, there was bitterness, there was a little sweetness, and finally there was also a little sense of regret: no matter whether the family was separated, she really had to worry a lot, and the word "childbirth" became even more distant.

"With Shiro and Goro here, as long as my grandmother doesn't beat me all the time." She said with a smile, "I don't feel too much pressure. As for family affairs, I can handle it without Wufang. With just two words for this kid, I'll be a useless person for the rest of my life? Xu Fengjia, look down on me, look at me!"

The young couple quarreled for a while, and Qin Niangzi was thoughtful again, "Grandmother has been abnormally quiet for more than a month."

Since Mrs. Tai knew the truth about the death of Mrs. Wu, she was indeed very calm. She was a grandmother and elder, so she didn't need to participate in the funeral of the younger generation, but she spent the first seven days eating vegetarian in Leshanju, praying for Mrs. Wu.After the first seven days, when Mrs. Fifth Young Lady's coffin was on the way, He Xian was taken to Leshan Residence to be raised. Apart from that, he didn't say a word about the affairs in the mansion. I will talk about Tongfang.For more than a month, although Qin Niangzi has been busy, she is actually in a happier mood. Even when Quan Zhongbai came to help her pulse, she was a little surprised, "Young Madam should be very busy this time, why is her vitality not weak?" .”

When Mrs. Tai was mentioned, Xu Fengjia's eyes darkened, "Fifth Brother grew up beside his grandmother. Her old man is afraid that Fifth Brother will not want to travel too far. I think she will talk to her father sooner or later."
