Lord please be gentle

Chapter 5 05 Try another tree

Xiao Mei walked into the main hall with the support of Yuchan, the big girl next to her, and she heard her coughing before she arrived.

Everyone in the room was shocked when they heard this. Xiao Hongbo looked at Mrs. Tang in surprise, but Mrs. Tang was at a loss, while Mrs. Qu was waiting to watch the fun with a look of glee.

Walking over staggeringly, the pale Xiao Mei looked like she might faint at any moment.After walking a few steps, she stopped and gasped, looking extremely timid.

"Father, what are your orders for calling my daughter here?" Xiao Mei's voice was as low as a mosquito, as if she could not catch her breath at any time.

Nangong Yu heaved a sigh of relief, and then said with a smile: "Is Missy healthy? What kind of situation should it be like in daily life? Wouldn't she be lying on the couch all the time? She really is a sick Xi Shi!"

Xiao Hongbo almost turned his nose in anger, turned his head and was furious at Mrs. Tang. "What the hell are you doing!"

Mrs. Tang couldn't sit still anymore, stood up, and said to Xiao Mei in a trembling voice: "Mei'er, you are..."

Obviously the cold poison has been completely dispelled, so why is his face full of sickness again!For a moment, Mrs. Tang was also puzzled.

All eyes were fixed on Xiao Mei, but Xiao Mei seemed so weak that she couldn't even raise her head and couldn't open her eyelids.After a long while, he replied weakly: "Go back to the third lady, my daughter is useless, the pill... can only be restrained for a while, after drinking a cup of tea, the medicine has no effect, and the body is even more sleepy. This disease... I'm afraid it won't be cured!" At the end, I couldn't help but shed tears.

Nangong Yu put down the teacup in his hand, didn't bother to look at Xiao Mei, and only cupped his hands at Xiao Hongbo: "Uncle Shi, my nephew can say goodbye!"

Xiao Hongbo was so angry that he became dizzy and couldn't speak for a while.

Mrs. Qu hurriedly took his place as a guest, and strongly recommended her four daughters: "Mr. Yu wait a minute, I have already had four young ladies called, and they are all waiting in the side hall. Why don't you take a look, my lord? There is someone who can replace Missy!"

Nangong Yu managed to get rid of the burden of the Xiao family, so how could she be willing to cause new troubles.He waved his hand, and said coldly: "That's all! My father still has some urgent affairs waiting for me to deal with, so don't let it go, there will be a later date!"

Seeing Nangong Yu leaving without looking back like burning his butt, the Xiao family looked at each other in silence!
After a while, Xiao Hongbo finally regained his breath, pointed at Mrs. Tang and Xiao Mei, and said angrily: "Don't back down, isn't it enough to be embarrassing here?"

Mrs. Tang blessed her body with tears in her eyes, bowed her head under Mrs. Qu's gleeful eyes, and retreated despondently.

Xiao Mei also wanted to run away, but Xiao Hongbo stopped her footsteps, "Stop."

She had no choice but to stop and raise her head with an innocent look on her face. "Father, what instructions do you have?"

"Don't go out of Hengzhi Courtyard if you have nothing to do in the future, don't hang out in front of the old man, I'll get angry just looking at you!" Xiao Hongbo was about to go mad with anger, and the source of all this shame was the sick daughter in front of him.

Xiao Mei lowered her head, as if she didn't dare to breathe, but Yuchan beside her could clearly see the corner of Xiao Mei's mouth secretly grinning.She responded obediently: "Obey, my lord father!"

"You still have the face to see me!"

Mrs. Tang, who has always been mild-tempered, dropped a teacup to express her anger and disappointment. Looking at Xiao Mei who had spent 17 years of hard work in front of her, she was full of hatred.

Xiao Mei changed her fragile appearance in front of everyone, and lay down on the imperial concubine's couch lazily, with her arms lazily hugging the back of her head, pursed her lips and looked at Mrs. Tang who was furious, and said with a smile: "Third Madam, calm down!"

Seeing Xiao Mei's cynical appearance, the always good-natured Mrs. Tang almost fainted from anger like Xiao Hongbo. "Have you taken the ecstasy? Why can't you tell which is more important! Nangong Yu is our mother's backer, and you pushed him away with your own hands. What are you thinking!"

Xiao Mei was born with cold poison in an abortion. She was tortured by illness for many years, and she was soaked in medicine jars all day long.In addition, the Xiao family has rumored for many years that she killed her own mother at birth, which was disliked by Xiao Hongbo, and even ostracized and despised by all the sisters.Fortunately, Xiao Mei and Nan Gongyu had an agreement to marry each other with their fingertips, which fundamentally guaranteed her status in the Xiao family.

As long as she successfully marries Nangong Yu, Xiao Mei will be the most honorable eldest wife of the Nangong family.For this goal, Mrs. Tang has never given up her efforts over the years.In the end, under her instruction, Xiao Mei risked her virginity at the cost of using Jun Moxin who was imprisoned in the secret cave in the back mountain to treat the cold poison and successfully recovered.

Seeing the end of all hardships, as long as Nangong Yu can't find a reason to withdraw the engagement, Xiao Mei will soon be able to marry into Nangong's family. As Xiao Mei's adoptive mother, Mrs. Tang can finally have a foothold in Xiao's family with pride.

However, because of Xiao Mei's willful and reckless behavior, all of this came to naught. How can Madam Tang be prevented from becoming distraught.

"Third Madam, you are my own mother, calm down!" Xiao Mei sat up and explained solemnly: "Today's matter has her own daughter's ingenious plan, let me explain carefully!"

Mrs. Tang stroked her forehead with her hand, but ignored her.

Next to her, Ziying kneaded the temples for Mrs. Tang, and helped her master count down Xiao Mei: "Miss, it's not a servant who said you, you acted too recklessly, and you didn't discuss with the third lady. It's smashed! The Nangong family divorced, how can you find a good son-in-law like Mr. Yu, and the third wife has no status in front of Lord Hou! What good is it for you to ruin your future like this!"

As expected of a close friend by Madam Tang's side, these words were exactly what Madam Tang wanted to say but didn't say.Listening to Ziying's words, Mrs. Tang still closed her eyes and said nothing, but two lines of clear tears dripped from the corners of her eyes.

When Zi Ying was almost finished, Xiao Mei said: "The Nangong family is indeed powerful, and Nangong Yu is both civil and military, but if the third wife says that he is our mother's backer, my daughter will disagree. Nangong Yu is very proud. Ao Su has never looked down upon me, Xiao Mei, and the marriage has been delayed again and again, and finally excused that I am weak and can't bear children, shamelessly regretting the marriage. Such a heartless man, even if he marries, how can he entrust him to him for the rest of his life! Retiring the engagement is exactly what I want, and I wish for it!"

Xiao Mei recalled the short meeting with Nangong Yu, he never looked at her directly from the beginning to the end, it can be seen that he has great disdain for her, let alone any affection.

Mrs. Tang pursed the corners of her lips, but remained silent.Ziying immediately retorted: "Even if Mr. Yu doesn't want to see you, but the throne of Mrs. Nangong is so honorable. If you marry, even if you are in name, it will be a hundred times better than being in Xiao's house. Even if the eldest miss doesn't care about these false names, at least you can marry me." Compassionate for the third lady. Poor thing, she has been worrying about the eldest lady all these years, can't you think about her? If the eldest lady can become the young wife of Nangong, Lord Hou will naturally praise the third lady, and our Hengzhi Court will not As for becoming a cold palace!"

Since marrying into the Xiao family, Mrs. Tang has not given birth for many years.Xiao Hongbo only wanted to spread his branches and leaves, so he naturally didn't like to see Mrs. Tang who was barren.For many years, he no longer stepped into Hengzhi Courtyard.

It was a dull pain in Mrs. Tang's heart to mention this.

Xiao Mei was even more disdainful, and even laughed and said: "My mother, you really plan to grow old with my cheap father!"

Mrs. Tang finally opened her eyes, and seeing Xiao Mei's foolishness, she couldn't help but get angry: "Since I married into the Xiao family, I live as a member of the Xiao family and die as a ghost of the Xiao family. What do you mean by that!"

"Hey, mother, don't be angry!" Xiao Mei stuck out her tongue playfully, sighed softly, and said: "As the saying goes, a strong woman should not be married twice, and my daughter knows that my mother is a chaste and strong woman! Marry a chicken like a chicken and a dog like a dog! However, my cheap father is so muddy that he can't support the wall. He only wants to have a son. He is a lot older, and he keeps marrying concubines. According to my daughter, are you staying in Xiao's house with me? That cheap dad grows old together but stays a widow forever! As the saying goes, a tree moves the dead to move the living, and the living can be suffocated to death by urine. My cheap dad is not the only man in the world. Let’s try another tree, why? Sample?"

After such a shocking argument, everyone in the room changed their faces.Ziying was so frightened that she hurriedly closed the window, Yuchan kept chanting with tears in her eyes: "Missy is crazy, her mouth is full of nonsense, she ruined her good marriage, and even encouraged the third lady... …My goodness!"

When the crowd was in chaos, Tao Zhi, the maidservant, hurried in and reported: "Third Madam, Lord Hou summoned Missy to come over and ask questions!"

Mrs. Tang said suspiciously: "Didn't I just meet Lord Hou, why are you asking me again?"

Tao Zhi shook his head, and said in a low voice: "I heard from the people over there that something big happened, and Master Hou is very angry!"
