Tang Lihua didn't waver at Hongcui's kowtow and begged for mercy, and reminded again, "Nurse, go clean up, I'm going to take Rou'er back to her mother's house today."
Mrs. Fang finally came to her senses, and hesitated even more. She was not indifferent to Madam's suggestion, as early as when the young master was taken away by Mrs. Xie.
When making things difficult for his wife who was still in confinement, Mrs. Fang couldn't see it, so she asked her to go back to her natal home, where at least someone would protect her.
It's just that the wife flatly refused at that time, and after Mrs. Fang tried to persuade her a few times, she stopped trying.
Over the past ten years, Mrs. Fang has gotten used to enduring it, so Madam's sudden outburst now made her hesitate.
But after seeing Tang Lihua's firm eyes, Mrs. Fang finally gritted her teeth and went to clean up.
In fact, there is no need to pack anything at all, the Shang Shufu has prepared everything for the madam and miss.
So Mrs. Fang went directly to the young lady's yard. She was traveling very fast, and she had to finish the matter before the old lady got the news.
Mrs. Fang had a premonition that if Madam and Madam confronted each other too late, things might get worse.
There is something wrong with Madam today, Mrs. Fang thinks about it now, it would be good to go back to the Shangshu Mansion.
Xie Yirou, who was embroidering in her own yard, was led by Mrs. Fang to her mother's yard.
As soon as he stepped into the house, he saw Hongcui who was still kneeling.
At this time, the blood on her forehead and face had dried up, but she was still a little scary in this embarrassment.
Mrs. Fang brought the young lady over, but she forgot about this, and hurried forward to block the young lady.
But Tang Lihua said, "Rou'er, come here."
Xie Yirou still had the frightened expression on her face, but she passed obediently after hearing what her mother said.
Tang Lihua took her hand and showed her to look at the kneeling Hongcui, "Does Rou'er know why she is like this?"
Xie Yirou shook her head, "Rou'er doesn't know."
After finishing speaking, he looked up at Tang Lihua timidly.
Tang Lihua smiled very gently, "Then mother will teach you a truth today."
"You can't just be kind and weak. You have to know that good people are bullied and good horses are ridden by others. In the past, it was because my mother was too gentle that this villain thought I was afraid. Now my mother has finally seen it through. This truth.
I will give it to Rou'er today, Rou'er understands. "Tang Lihua spoke softly, treating Xie Yirou with extreme gentleness.
Xie Yirou was ignorant, she didn't understand it, but she seemed to understand something. Deep in her heart, there was an unspeakable excitement.
But Xie Yirou didn't know why she had such mood swings.
Tang Lihua caressed her hair, "Rou'er will gradually understand, and mother will teach you bit by bit in the future."
Xie Yirou didn't think about anything at this time, she smiled at her mother, her eyes were full of trust.
Mrs. Fang hurriedly said, "Madam, the carriage outside is ready."
"Then let's go." Tang Lihua left after finishing speaking.
The three masters and servants didn't bring anything, so they returned to the Shangshu Mansion empty-handed.
In the yard of the old lady of the Xie family, an old lady was being fanned and beaten by the waiters.
Her face was full of impatience, "Go and see, no one can come here for half a day, maybe it's too sick to walk."
Mrs. Xie's words were obviously aimed at Tang Lihua, and of course she didn't mean to hide anything.
The old woman who was serving beside her comforted, "Maybe something happened, old lady, don't worry, my body is damaged, and it won't be too late to punish me when my wife comes."
The old lady Xie snorted coldly, she agreed with her statement, and then punished when someone came.
The person sent out came back in a hurry after a quarter of an hour. As soon as the big maid entered the room, she plopped and knelt on the ground.
Her forehead was covered with cold sweat, and her complexion was a little pale. After knocking her head three times, she lay down on the ground and couldn't get up.
The old lady Xie frowned, "What's the matter, it's so unruly."
There was reprimand in her tone, and the maidservant below began to tremble, and the trembling became stronger and stronger.
"The old lady is asking you something, why don't you speak, maybe you are dumb." The woman beside the old lady Xie sternly reprimanded.
What's the matter with Hongxiang, why is he so reckless today, there are really no rules.
"Reporting to the old madam, the maidservant just went to the madam's courtyard to see it, just...just..." Hong Xiang couldn't continue speaking, as if she was terribly frightened.
Mrs. Xie felt even more bored, she hated others talking hesitantly.
"Hurry up, keep grinding, I don't think you want that tongue anymore." The old woman was very good at looking at the old lady's eyes, and scolded again.
Hongxiang didn't dare to make any small moves this time, so she went to the lady's courtyard and said everything.
And everything that Hongcui heard from her mouth was reported one by one.
The old lady Xie who was sitting above her face became more and more gloomy the more she listened, and finally became gloomy.
When Hongxiang said that Tang Lihua had brought Xie Yirou back to her mother's house, the old lady Xie couldn't control herself, and she swept all the teapots and cups on the low table to the ground.
"Okay, really good, such a mistress, such a minister's daughter, how dare you do this with me." Mrs. Xie panted heavily, showing that she was more ruthless.
The woman next to her quickly gave her comfort, "Old lady, don't be angry, the doctor said that you should raise it calmly, it will be good for your body."
The old lady Xie slapped the table again, and said angrily, "With such a daughter-in-law, how can you let me not get angry and raise it calmly? I think she wishes that I, an old man, will die soon so that no one will crushed her on top of her head."
The mother-in-law was relieved again, and finally waited for the old lady Xie to calm down for a while, before she said, "Madam did not do this properly, and the old lady should be angry, but it's still a bit weird why Madam is acting like this all of a sudden."
The old lady Xie was still angry, and said immediately after hearing the words, "I think she has endured it for a long time, and dared to go back to her mother's house. Don't think that she can threaten me, but Xie's family. If she has the ability, she will be there." Stay with your natal family and never come back for the rest of your life."
This is obviously a resentment. If Tang Lihua has a husband's family and stays at her mother's house all the time, how will people outside talk about it, and what will those family officials want to guess? These are all things Mrs. Xie doesn't want to see.
The mother-in-law has followed Mrs. Xie for decades, and of course she is the one who knows Mrs. Xie best, and she knows the right opportunity to give the old lady a step down.
When the old lady got angry again, the old woman continued, "The old lady should be angry, but she still has to take care of the young master. After all, the lady is the young master's aunt. If she gets a bad reputation like this, it will disturb the eldest son." That's really not good for the son's official career."
The old lady Xie's face was slightly stagnant, of course she understood this truth.
Her mind is the same as Hongcui's, it should be said that Hongcui is the same as hers, because of the weakness of the original body before, she always feels that she will keep giving in like this.
Mrs. Xie thinks that she has already controlled this daughter-in-law in the palm of her hand, so the maids in her yard don't regard Mrs. as the real master.
"What an idiot, he didn't even think about An'er."
The mother-in-law responded repeatedly, "In my opinion, Ma'am was assaulted by a servant girl. She got angry for a while, and she will be fine in a few days."
"Why don't the old lady deal with the maid first, and wait for a few days. If the lady doesn't come back, then let the master go to the Shangshu Mansion to pick up the lady."
The old lady Xie frowned, "What kind of thing is she? Yuan'er is busy with work, so she has no time to pick her up. She loves to come back, but Yirou is the lady of my Xie family, so I can't stay with her in the Tang's house all the time. .”
What the old lady Xie meant in her words was to let Tang Lihua stay in the Tang family.
Of course, it is impossible for Tang Lihua to live directly with her natal family. Of course, Mrs. Xie has other ideas.
Didn't Tang Lihua just want to use this to threaten herself and improve her status in Xie's family? If she really fulfilled her wish and asked Yuan'er to pick her up, that wouldn't be a big face to her. Mrs. Xie wouldn't do such a thing let it happen.
So when the time comes, if Tang Lihua is really courageous, she will bring Xie Yirou back.
Tang Lihua, who treats her daughter like an eyeball, is willing to let her daughter stay in Xie's mansion by herself.
The old lady Xie just wanted Tang Lihua to come back honestly, and even cried and begged to go back to Xie's house when the time came.
