Rebirth of a wishful life

Chapter 35

Nanny Lu said that if things can't be avoided, they will make a big fuss.The bigger the better, anyway, Lord Shen is an important minister of the court, as long as it is not a rebellion, he can handle it.Besides, being ashamed is not about embarrassing Mrs. Shen, she is a filial woman who is clearly praised by the court, so, no matter what the matter is, if it cannot be resolved, it will cause trouble.

In comparison, the old lady wants more face.

Therefore, Mrs. Shen spared no effort to escalate the matter at the moment and said: "Nurse Qiu said that the old lady had a severe stomachache and couldn't sleep well. She had been in pain just now. Nurse Qiu said it was a chronic illness. Let me rub it for the old lady and it's over, but if it's really a long-term illness that doesn't hinder anything, why does it hurt again now? I thought about inviting the imperial doctor, but the imperial doctor had to ask for a post from Lord Hou... ..."

Lord Shen waved his hand, and the servant who followed immediately rushed to the study to get the post.Even if he didn't have a deep relationship with the old lady, Shen Houye turned around and walked towards Changchun Garden at this moment: "Go and see the old lady, since it's a serious illness, there must be a prescription left, Nanny Qiu, go find it." After taking that prescription, I immediately boiled the medicine."

Even Master Shen Hou came over, even if Master Shen Er and Third Master Shen didn't want to, they had to get up to follow.The men are all here, so can Mrs. Shen and Mrs. Shen not come?

Mrs. Shen was running around in a hurry, her eyes lit up as soon as she saw the second and third wives, she hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed the hands of the two of them: "I didn't want to trouble you, my mother said before, you two I have worked hard for ten years, and I just came back, so I will let you take a good rest, but this matter is too urgent, and I really can't help it, so I was called to come here, don't blame me."

The second lady hurriedly saluted: "Don't dare to do it. We are juniors. It is our duty to respect the elderly. There is nothing to be tired or tired. If there is anything that sister-in-law can use us for, just tell me."

Mrs. Shen hurriedly pointed to the inner room: "Nurse Qiu said, the old lady's stomach pain is also a chronic illness. In the past, you two rubbed it. I don't have much experience. I'm afraid I will disturb the old lady. So, come here first to help the old lady rub it, and I will go to you guys tomorrow to learn."

After finishing speaking, he lowered his voice and specifically instructed: "Don't wake up the old lady. Mother Qiu said that the old lady is a light sleeper, and it will be difficult to fall asleep when she wakes up. You should be careful when walking."

The Second Madam Shen and the Third Madam Shen looked at each other. When did they come to rub the old lady's belly in the middle of the night? They can't be light or heavy, and they can't wake the old lady up. Is this something humans can do?
But looking at Mrs. Shen's worried eyes, and thinking about Lord Shen who was sitting outside, Second Mrs. Shen and Third Mrs. Shen dared not say no. Their expressions were exactly the same. Reluctantly, he stretched out his hand and invited them in.

Lord Shen Hou came over just now, but he immediately ordered the maids not to go in, and Madam Qiu was also detained outside, so no one came to report to the old lady.Mrs. Shen didn't enter the inner room just now, and she gave orders to Mrs. Shen Er and Mrs. Shen outside.

The two stood at the head of the bed, you looked at me and I looked at you, but they didn't want to make a move, but Mrs. Shen stood at the end of the bed, and kept telling them to hurry up, but they couldn't drag it on.There is really no other way, Mrs. Shen is the first to bite the bullet and go, who let her be the second child?
However, as soon as Mrs. Shen's hand touched the old lady's stomach, she heard the old lady yelp, and cursed before opening her eyes: "Are you going to hurt me to death? You are more filial than anyone else, but you really want me to die, don’t you?”

After she finished speaking, she opened her eyes, and saw the second Mrs. Shen with a green and red face kneeling beside her bed. The old lady's expression immediately changed, and then she closed her eyes again and whimpered, and after a while, her voice slowly sank. , then opened his eyes again, glanced at Mrs. Shen Er, and smiled: "I said, who has such ability, but I feel much more comfortable after a few strokes."

Mrs. Shen Er's smile was much forced: "It's good that the old lady feels comfortable, but where does it hurt right now?"

The old lady shook her head and looked up at Mrs. Shen who was standing aside: "What's the matter with you? Didn't I say before..."

"Old lady, I know you said that the second and third siblings have worked hard for ten years, and I will share more for them when I come back." Mrs. Shen hurriedly smiled and said, "It's just that I don't care about respecting the elderly. In the family, the two of them don't have to do it? If the old lady does this, she will ruin the reputation of the second and third siblings."

Could it be that there is only one Mrs. Shen in the Hou Mansion who can honor the old lady?Mrs. Shen is gone, and the second and third wives came over to pay their respects?

The old lady sneered and scolded: "Why, you have not been filial to me for ten years, and you have not allowed your two younger siblings to serve me? I think it is fair. Since the two of them have served me for ten years, Then the next ten years..."

Mrs. Shen suddenly realized: "This is what the old lady means. Then I understand. In the past, the two younger siblings served you. I kept my filial piety for my father-in-law. Now I am serving the old lady. The father-in-law's filial piety..."

To keep filial piety for the old Hou Ye, Mrs. Shen lived in Zhuangzi for ten years, and she had no other children except Shen Ruyi who was born before the old Hou Ye passed away.But what about Mrs. Shen Er and Mrs. Shen Third?Although there are not many children in the second and third bedrooms, there are still many, at least compared with the eldest family, there are many more.

Now that the old lady wants to be fair, shouldn't the second and third wives also live in Zhuangzi for ten years?

Mrs. Shen looked at the old lady with some doubts: "Old lady, do you need to choose a Zhuangzi for the two brothers and sisters?"

Not to mention the old lady, even Mrs. Shen Er and Mrs. Shen's expressions changed.The Second Madam Shen was more calm and silent, and the Third Madam Shen hurriedly said: "Sister-in-law, that's not what mother meant. In the past ten years, you were keeping filial piety for your father-in-law in Zhuangzi, and my second sister-in-law and I stayed in the Hou's mansion. Take care of your mother. It stands to reason that although we do different things, they are all filial to the elderly, but sister-in-law, you have received a reward from the court..."

Mrs. Shen rubbed the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief: "That's because I haven't had a child for ten years, and up to now, I only have one daughter as I wish."

The second and third households all have prostitutes, but the eldest household does not.

Third Mrs. Shen was choked immediately, and Second Mrs. Shen kept secretly looking at Mrs. Shen. This sister-in-law has really improved, and she has become so eloquent.Looking at the old lady again, the second lady's mind is alive.

One is the old lord of the Hou Mansion with the highest status, and the other is the future old lord of the Hou Mansion with a stable status.One must protect the interests of the eldest family, and the other is to desperately seek benefits for the third family. If these two fight, wouldn't the family be able to reap the benefits of the fisherman?
It's just that you have to think carefully about what to do, but don't offend both of them at that time. One can make her life difficult now, and the other can make her life difficult in the future. .

"Is it time to argue with i about this?" The old lady couldn't think of a rebuttal, so she slapped the edge of the bed and yelled at Mrs. Shen: "Why, why can't I ask you to come over and rub my stomach? You have to let me Your second and third siblings are here to replace you? I can’t call you now, can I?”

Before Mrs. Shen had time to speak, she heard footsteps outside, and then the curtain was lifted, and Lord Shen came in directly, glanced at the room, looked at the old lady on the bed with a half-smile, and said: "The doctor Already here, mother, let the imperial doctor come in and show you?"

The old lady was furious: "Don't look! Look at your good daughter-in-law, I am so angry! Does she take care of my mother-in-law like this? I just asked her to rub my stomach, and she made a mess of the family." No one can live in peace, she did it on purpose!"

Lord Shen's expression remained unchanged: "Mother had a stomachache twice in one night, and Shen Lushi was also worried about you, for fear that you would ruin your stomach after eating at night. You are getting old, and if you delay, it will be a big deal. Besides, Oh, Shen Lushi also explained just now, don't let the maids wake you up, why, did you wake up when the two younger siblings rubbed your stomach?"

"No!" The old lady immediately denied it. Lord Shen was impatient to listen to her explanation, frowned slightly, and asked again: "The imperial doctor has come, can the second and third younger siblings avoid it?"

It's not that there is anything to be taboo about, but there are too many people in the room, so it's enough for the female relatives to keep only one who can take care of things.Except for the old lady, only Mrs. Shen is the one who can manage affairs in the Hou's mansion, so the Second Mrs. Shen and the Third Mrs. Shen should be avoided.

The two sisters-in-law were frightened when they saw Lord Shen. After listening to the order, they hurriedly turned behind the screen and stayed there.

The old lady probably felt that outsiders came and it would be easier to spread a bad reputation for Mrs. Shen, so she immediately shouted: "I said no! Your daughter-in-law can't serve..."

Before finishing speaking, Lord Shen suddenly turned around and glanced at her. At night, even if the lights were brightly lit, it was no better than during the day. Lord Shen's eyes were dark and devoid of any emotion. The old lady immediately remembered, This eldest son has always been lukewarm towards her. If she hadn't offended him, then she would have been an incomparably honorable old lord in the Hou Mansion, but if she offended him...

The old lady shut up immediately, and Lord Shen raised his lips: "Mother, before speaking, think about the imperial decree enshrined in the ancestral hall today, and the plaque hung up this afternoon."

The old lady was stunned for a moment, and when Lord Shen went out, she realized that she was too anxious, even if she wanted to ruin Shen Lu's reputation, she couldn't be here right now.Shen Lu entered the Hou's mansion on the front foot, and her bad reputation spread on the back foot, which is totally untenable.

Besides, there is also the holy decree.The emperor is the king of a country, he can say what he says, he is right, even if he is wrong, he must be right.Therefore, he said that Shen Lu is a filial woman, so Shen Lu can only be a filial woman.Even if it is unfilial, it cannot be passed down from the Shen family.
