Beautiful step by step

Chapter 161

Ever since he learned that Mrs. Shizi's forty boards made Wei Wei seriously ill and even lost his memory, the old lady Feng fell into self-blame.

The emotion of self-blame is manifested in weak people who let regret bite their hearts, and fall into pain again and again and cannot extricate themselves; while in strong people, they know their shame and are brave, and take various means to remedy it; And when a person is strong and capable, he will immediately transform into practical actions to remedy.

Obviously, Mrs. Feng is not a person who lacks wrists.

A while ago, Mrs. Feng was completely assimilated by the Wu family. Thinking of Wei Wei's mother and daughter, she felt that these two were vixen, trying to cheat away the most important man in her life, anyway, she didn't like it anyway; but now she After accepting it, all those feelings of the past few decades are like jewels hidden in a dowry. After opening, they sparkle in various ways, directly occupying her whole mind.

People will probably be a little paranoid when they are old. How partial she was to the Wu family before, how partial to the mother and daughter of the Wei family now.

"How could they do this! Call Mrs. Shizi over."

Mrs. Shizi didn't come over. Hearing that she was asked by the Marquis of Zhenbei to recuperate due to illness, the old matriarch Feng who would object a lot in the past clapped her hands and applauded.

"If you are sick, you should take good care of yourself. I think she has been sick since she gave birth. How can she continue like this at a young age. I think I will spare her greetings and stop tossing back and forth."

Instructing the servant girl to send a message to block the last way for the Wu family to come out for ventilation, the old lady felt relieved.Ever since he agreed that his son fell in love with Mu Qing and might marry such a servant girl in the future, even leading her to let go of the illusory glory of the Hou Mansion, many things have followed suit.

Why should she give in to that granddaughter-in-law?
Just because she was born in Wu Shangshu's residence?But Ququ Wu Shangshu is nothing, the glory that the Wu family has had, the Chu family has experienced.But the peaks that the Chu family has experienced, the Wu family barely touched a corner.As the old matriarch of the Hou family, why should she be afraid of the Wu family.Even if they have power, the only thing Zhenbeihou Mansion has done in the past 30 years is to stay away from the center of power.The military power in the Northwest that the Wu family has the most to gain is the hot potato that the Chu family once threw away.

Besides, Mrs. Wu, no matter what means she uses to marry Brother Lian, since she is the wife of the Hou family, she should abide by her duty.A daughter-in-law must be filial at the very least. Although Ah Mao was only a maid in her room back then, even if she gave it to Brother Lian, it still has her three points of face, so why should she intervene.

After condemning the Wu family in his heart, the old matriarch Feng also had to reflect on himself.

"That day when she punished Ah Mao in that name, I would have stopped her no matter what. If I could stop that punishment, Ah Mao must be fine now."

Not only is Auntie well, but Mother Wei will also be by her side to help her, and it is easier for her son to achieve his wish for many years.More importantly, if she could stop her in time, Wu would not have the chance to raise her head and die.Let her continue to hold back, don't say anything else, at least she can give birth to a child with peace of mind.

This series of events was all in her mind. The cry of the child came from behind the curtain. It was not so high-pitched and loud as that of ordinary babies. It made people feel the infinite upgrade of a new life, but it was a little breathless intermittently, which made people feel uncomfortable. She also felt worried.

The imperial doctor who came to check the pulse vaguely revealed that the child's body is very strong.Congenitally a little imperfect, and the body is very strong, it is nothing more than a dull mind.It's not that she can't tolerate the flaws in the younger generation, but this child is the great-grandson of the Hou Mansion, and according to etiquette, he will inherit everything in the Zhenbei Hou Mansion in the future.

Thinking of this, her resentment towards Mrs. Wu has deepened. No matter how unwilling she is, it's only those ten months, so why can't she think about her child.

"It's all my fault, just a single thought..."

The remorse in Old Madam Feng's words almost turned into substance.

From receiving the invitation to now, Wei Wei has imagined many situations.There were those who humiliated her with words from Mrs. Wu, those who humiliated her with Mrs. Feng and Mrs. Wu together, and those who humiliated her together with Mrs. Wei.It's even possible that when she learned that she was pregnant, Mrs. Wu deliberately harmed her, and she thought of all kinds of strange situations.Weighing the current situation, she prepared several sets of countermeasures in advance.But because Yan Heng was not by her side, she always inadvertently lost three points of confidence in her words and actions, so she was not very satisfied with the methods she came up with.

But no matter what, she never expected that she would receive such treatment in the Zhenbeihou Mansion.

First, it was the sky above the Hou Mansion, Zhenbeihou, who had been seeing the dragon for more than ten years, personally vented his anger on her, and then the old lady apologized.

For a while, she was thanked by everyone in the Northwest, but the thick skin she had cultivated during this period of time was not enough.She was very angry when she received the invitation, but now that she sees Old Madam Feng like this, she really loses her temper at all.Not only is she short-tempered, but she thinks more.

"Why should the old lady blame herself? Everyone knows the situation of the Wu family that day. The great victory in the Northwest, General Wu was promoted to Minister of the Ministry of War, and the Wu family is full of momentum. Under such circumstances, who would dare to offend easily. Speaking of which, I still want to thank the old lady Help me in time, if it wasn't for your help that day, my life might be gone."

During the execution that day, she was put on cotton clothes in advance.The thick cotton coat has a layer of strong leather on the meat side, the cotton stuffed in the middle is used for cushioning, and the leather prevents the barbs from penetrating.Not only that, the old matriarch even ordered the executioner to lower his head lightly.So the forty big boards that can kill ordinary people, she just suffered a little flesh injury.Although it really hurt for two months, it didn't hurt the bones at all.During this pregnancy, she also asked the expert in gynecology in Liangzhou. He said that there was no sign of injury to her pelvis, and this pregnancy could no longer be safe.

Wei Wei has such a temperament, she is strong when the enemy is strong, but she can take two steps back if the opponent takes one step back.

The two steps she took back were heard by Old Madam Feng's ears, but they were even more uncomfortable than directly opening her mouth to curse full of resentment.Ah Mao still thinks about her at this time, what a sensible child, why couldn't she be tougher at that time, but because of her own weakness that made her like this?
"When Ah Mao was still a baby, she followed Mu Qing to my side."

The crying behind the curtain gradually disappeared, and the old lady fell into memory.Back then when Wei's mother was unbearably troubled and came to the Hou Mansion with Ah Mao in her arms, the baby girl in her infancy was now even younger than her great-grandson.At that time, Brother Lian had just moved to live in the outer courtyard, and after the Zhenbei Hou Mansion completely lost power, she had to participate in a lot less entertainment, and she was in a confusion of not knowing what to do.

It was Ah Mao's arrival that filled her emptiness.She would always go and see her relatives' families, those well-known high-ranking families in Beijing who were familiar with each other, whenever a child was full moon or one year old.Counting it, she has seen many children in her life, but none of them are as good as Ah Mao.Her little ball is so cute, and she has a good temper. She doesn't cry, make noise, or talk, and laughs as soon as she is in her arms.The little doll's smile is even more painful than the dolls on the New Year pictures.

As she grows up day by day, she becomes exactly what she expected.Beautiful, smart, knowledgeable and do one's job.She likes this girl so much, if it wasn't for brother Gu Jilian's thoughtfulness, she would really recognize her as her granddaughter.But why did it end up like that? She just watched Wu's abuse her.Not to mention asking her to be the housekeeper, and pouring such a basin of dirty water on her.

"Old people are confused."

After more than 30 years of personal service, it was the first time for Wei's mother to see such an old lady, and her emotions were extremely complicated for a while.hate it?Of course she hates it.No matter how loyal you are to the Hou Mansion, when it comes to your daughter, everything else must give way.That day when Grandma had an accident, the reason why she agreed to help the old matriarch take care of the property outside of the Hou Mansion was to make Wu's unhappy, and even destroy her dowry shops if possible.There is no way, the identities are too disparate, she can only use this roundabout method.

If she didn't want to save her life to take care of Ah Mao, she would really know how to make a bowl of medicine, or directly carry a kitchen knife, anyway, she would use various means to kill Wu Shi.

But time will always smooth out everything, and Ah Mao is considered a blessing in disguise.Now that two years have passed, she and Brother Heng's life is getting better and better, and the anger in Wei's mother's heart has gradually dissipated.Of course, at this moment, it was Ah Mao who made her really make up her mind.Ever since Brother Heng was taken away by the people from the Ministry of Criminal Justice, she has been in a state of restless mind, and she was even distracted when she met the old lady just now.

She was born as a servant girl, and she really doesn't have any rich relatives. The Hou Mansion is the only high-ranking family she can catch, even if she can get rid of this old face, she still has to try.

"Ah Mao is right, who dared to offend the Wu family back then, not to mention that day, even now... well, it's fate after all. I really can't blame the old lady for this matter. On the contrary, our mothers and I would like to thank you for your help that day."

The old lady, You Zi, was immersed in self-blame, but Chu Ying, who had been standing behind Wei's mother, understood what she meant.

"Qing Niang said that now, is it possible that the Wu family is doing something?"

It shouldn't be, Chu Ying shook her head, the Wu family has been closely watched by him.

"Ah Mao's husband-in-law had an accident, and now he is locked up in the Ministry of Punishment. I don't know who did it."
