"What is she here for?"
Fang Rao's brows furrowed even more tightly.
Speaking of which, the old lady of the Zhao family is not a fuel-efficient lamp.
When Zhao Yixuan was kicked out of the Zhao family, she took advantage of the situation and started a relationship with the father and son, and was even willing to be their concubine.
After so many years, she has never been concerned about her son.
But when Zhao Yixuan conquered the Presbyterian Church and the Zhao family with her stunning appearance, she came to the door crying again, licking her face to enjoy the blessing of children and grandchildren.
And he shamelessly said that he had to endure hardships in order to leave a way out for his son.
Later, the old fourth uncle of the Zhao family forced himself to become a lobbyist, and only then did Zhao Yixuan recognize his mother.
It's just that in these years, although she couldn't stand Fang Rao controlling the back house, she couldn't act like a monster.
In addition, at the beginning of this year, Zhao Yixuan sent her to recuperate elsewhere in the Zhao family for some unknown reason.
I don’t know why she came to the door while the couple was not at home.
Fang Rao thought for a while and asked the housekeeper in a low voice.
"Didn't I send someone to deliver the letter? Why didn't I see you pick us up?"
She was not showing off, but if there were guards when she entered the city just now, how could the people led by Mrs. Jing dare to be so rampant
But the housekeeper looked embarrassed and said, "Madam, it's not that the young ones are treating you and the guests indifferently, it's that the old lady lost her temper early in the morning and didn't allow the young ones to go out."
The housekeeper was also worried.
There are no tigers in the mountains, but monkeys rule the roost.
Even Madam Jing and the others can do both positive and negative things, but the old lady is the elder's only biological mother.
If they are really offended, they will not be the ones to suffer.
Fang Rao was stunned for a moment, and his mood became even worse.
Although she and Zhao Yixuan have not settled their differences, she has made an agreement with him to find out the truth of that year together.
By then, if he really owed the Huo family, she would definitely get it back.
Although she didn't say it clearly, she was tired from all these years and just wanted to have a few years of peace and quiet after her revenge.
But unfortunately, someone didn't let her worry.
"There's no need to disturb the old lady, I'll just bring people in. Are you ready for what I told you before?"
In the end, Fang Rao still did not choose to have a head-on conflict with the other party.
When the housekeeper heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief and nodded hurriedly.
"Everything has been arranged according to your instructions, but the small courtyard you appointed has been occupied first."
Fang Rao waved his hands a little tiredly.
"Just take it. Just clean up the two small courtyards next to my yard."
The butler immediately responded.
Fang Rao didn't want to bring her low mood to others, so she worked up her energy and took Long Tianyu and the others to rest in her yard.
Whether it is Lin Mengya or Long Tianyu, they are both people who have seen big scenes.
In addition, Elder Zhao's house is not only similar in appearance to the Huo family's old house, but also has many similarities in its internal structure.
As soon as they came in, they felt a little familiar.
After passing through the double courtyard outside, the backyard that appears in front of you is elegant and simple, without the deep sense of depression of the courtyard at all.
Especially the east courtyard where Fang Rao lives has both magnificent pavilions and pavilions, as well as warmth.
Elegant little bridge and flowing water.
It can be seen that the craftsmen who built the yard definitely put their heart and soul into it.
"You guys can take a rest here for now. I have asked the housekeeper to pack your things and move across the courtyard. Originally, I wanted to arrange a quiet place for you to rest, but this mansion has not been peaceful recently. Why not live closer to me? If anything happens, I can take care of you."
What Aunt Fang said makes sense.
In addition to her and Long Tianyu, there was also a baby named Mo Yan, as well as two patients, Huo Yunsi and Zhao Ziyan.
Lin Mengya didn't hear clearly what the housekeeper said just now, but the scene where Madam Jing and the guard with the severed hand came before was enough to make them wary enough.
This Zhao family may not be so peaceful.
Lin Mengya nodded and wrote a note saying that they could do whatever they wanted.
Fang Rao ordered them to go down and let them go to their own devices, then went to the inner room to change clothes.
In addition to the original servants of the Zhao family, the people brought by Lin Mengya and the others were also well-behaved, especially the two girls Bai Su and Cai Ru. They had such a down-to-earth and generous attitude that they did not come from ordinary families at first glance.
For a time, the servants of the Zhao family did not dare to neglect the distinguished guest, and the two parties got along quite harmoniously.
Unexpectedly, the movements on their side would quietly change in the eyes of others.
In the south courtyard, the old lady who was enjoying her old age had a sullen face.
There was a pretty girl standing next to her, timidly tapping her legs.
"Damn little whore! My son has committed eight lifetimes of sin by marrying her!"
She scolded her daughter-in-law angrily, the resentment in her heart getting deeper and deeper.
Speaking of which, she was also jealous of the other party.
How could that second-hand commodity become the serious wife of the Zhao family? But she was just forced by life and could no longer win back her son's heart.
Resentment towards her son and jealousy towards her daughter-in-law gradually distorted her character.
Coupled with the instigation of thoughtful people, she now regards her son and daughter-in-law as enemies.
"Old madam, please don't get so angry."
The person who answered in front of her was a thin and withered woman.
She was originally an inconspicuous woman in the outer courtyard, but because she was greedy for the rewards in the hands of the old lady, she secretly became the old lady's spy.
At the moment, he even consciously stood on the same front as the old lady and tried his best to slander Fang Rao.
The woman curled her lips and said in a sinister manner: "Having said that, it's not my fault. This lady has made it clear that she doesn't respect you as your mother-in-law. Even if you are an ordinary person, you still have to treat your mother-in-law when you come back. Come and say hello. Besides, she brought back so many people."
The old lady glanced at the mother-in-law and sneered: "What kind of unworthy person did she bring back? It's really outrageous. What did she think of our Zhao family? My son hasn't been abused enough by her these years? I knew it." , she just covets my son’s money!”
The old lady covered her mouth and moved closer to the old lady.
"I heard that they are her mother-in-law. Listen, old lady, there is no reason to bring her mother-in-law to eat my uncle! In my opinion, it must be the helper she found."
"Help?" The old lady's face suddenly became colder.
"What does she want to do? Everything in the Zhao family belongs to my son, does she still want to take it away?"
The mother-in-law curled her lips and said, "Tsk, you can't say that. Madam has been here for more than ten years, but she doesn't even have a son and a half left. Although Zhao Ziyan has the title of young master on his head, in the end Nor is he your biological grandson."
These words can be regarded as speaking to the old lady's mind.
She sighed, her face full of sadness.
"I have said this to Yixuan a long time ago, but look at him, he is confused by that little bitch. Jing'er is useless, oh, do I have to watch my son's property? In the hands of outsiders?"
She wasn't willing to give in.
After all, her son had separated from her, and her daughter-in-law was her sworn enemy.
If the family property really falls into the hands of that little beast Zhao Ziyan in the future, where will there be any glory and wealth to enjoy
While she was worrying, the woman suddenly smiled and turned her attention to the girl next to the old lady.
"I think the young lady next to you is a good childbearer at first glance."
The girl was only fifteen or sixteen years old, and because she had been raised at home all year round, she seemed a little shy and timid.
When the mother-in-law said this, she immediately shrank aside like a mimosa plant with her face downcast.
The old lady became more and more upset when she saw her like this.
"Okay, go down, don't embarrass me here."
The girl almost cried and left with red eyes.
Little did she know that the look in the woman's eyes that fell on her was full of calculations.
"I understand what you mean, and I also told Yixuan. But he is stubborn and refuses to say anything. I am quite old, who am I planning this for? Not for him."
The old lady was so angry that she beat her chest and complained, but the mother-in-law persuaded her with a smile on her face: "Master refuses, just because he can't save face. Besides, what man doesn't like fresh little girls? In my opinion, this girl is quite good. Yes, be obedient and obedient, and I will never take it out of your hands in the future."
The old lady didn't speak this time.
She just lowered her eyes, covering the light in her eyes.
"Oh, actually I had this plan to bring her this time. However, with that troublesome star around, I'm afraid it won't be possible for me to do so!"
Seeing that the old lady was finally persuaded, the mother-in-law smiled so much that her face was full of wrinkles.
"Hey, what's so difficult about this? You're a serious old lady. How can you have a daughter-in-law who dares to disobey her mother-in-law? Besides, if she really dares to be disrespectful to you, she will seek her own death."
The old lady raised her eyelids and pretended to be pitiful, but in fact, she had already made countless evil plans in her heart.
"She is unkind, so you can't blame me for being unjust. Since she can't help my son, don't occupy Mrs. Zhao's position!"
The mother-in-law immediately agreed: "The old lady is right, we are doing this all for the sake of the master!"
Fang Rao had no idea at this moment that someone was already thinking about him.
She is now taking Lin Mengya and her group to settle down in the small courtyard.
"This place is quite spacious. I have asked people to prepare some things that you can use every day. If there is anything missing, please ask someone to write me a note and I will buy it for you."
After some rest, Fang Rao returned to his former gentleness and kindness.
Lin Mengya could see that she was working very hard to make everyone feel at home.
But she didn't want to offend Aunt Fang's kindness, nor did she want to cause her more trouble.
He wrote a few words of thanks to the other party in the small notebook he carried with him, and said that he would definitely restrain his people and would never cause trouble for Aunt Fang.
"Oh, I'm so sorry. If I had known they were here, I wouldn't have brought you back in such a hurry." Fang Rao said apologetically.
