"Oh, I didn't expect the ancestors to be so strict back then!"
Chen Xiangwan became more interested, and Yixuan also guided the topic.
"Yes, how about we say that the ancestors were really strict back then. Even the Tu family didn't take it too seriously. I think back then, the relationship between the ancestors and the Tu family was very tense."
"Grandma, we have time, let's talk about the past slowly today."
Chen Xiang gave Mingyue a look, and the latter hurried down to arrange meals and snacks. Today, my aunt wants to ask about old things, I'm afraid it will take a long time.
"Of course I was nervous. Back then, because of their ancestors, they married Lord Hou. From the perspective of the Tu family at that time, the ancestors were the hope of their starting family. They came to the door again and again to fight the autumn wind, hehe , You didn't notice, the old ancestor was also having a hard time. Fortunately, the Marquis didn't dislike her back then, and he was very kind to her. He only severely reprimanded the Tu family, and never blamed the old ancestor what's up."
It seems that this senior of the Murong family is still a kind and loving man. Otherwise, how could he treat his old wife like this.
It should be noted that many people see that the woman's family is in decline, and there are many people who are neglected and remarry.
"Well, go ahead and talk about some trivial things about their life back then. I don't want too much, as long as you talk about these trivial things, it's enough. When the time comes, your life will be arranged for you."
Seeing the truth of what she said, the woman continued to talk. Perhaps the memory has been opened, so it will be much smoother to talk about it.
"In the early years, the two of them were really close. The old marquis went out, and every time he came back, he would bring something for his wife. And the madam, every time he had to wait for the master to come back, he would go back to sleep. Otherwise, , Mr. Hou didn't come back, and his wife never slept alone. Because of this, every time Master Hou had something to do outside, he would greet him in advance and say that he would not go home. Because of this, outside At that time, many people laughed at the old Hou Ye, saying that he was pregnant with his wife. It is true, it is the relationship between the Hou Ye and the old lady, it is really good."
Chen Xiangwan also longed for it. However, from what she heard, she felt that the old marquis treated her like a wife, a bit like Murong Xiude treated her. When I think about it this way, my heart is much more beautiful. That complexion also had the look of a happy little woman with a little dizziness. With her like this, Yi Xuan secretly heaved a sigh of relief. This girl was very sensible when she was a child. It is also early to understand the truth.
In the early years, she was afraid that she would no longer believe in things like feelings because she had seen through them. Looking at it now, it seems that I am worrying too much. It can be seen that Murong Xiude is really good at treating his own girls well. When she thinks that Murong Xiude, a handsome man, has now become her own son-in-law, she is quite proud in her heart.
"In short, before my wife gave birth to a young lady, even if there were occasional conflicts in the relationship between the two, it would only become very good after the conflicts. During those days, who in our house didn't I envy them. The Hou Ye only has the old lady alone, and there is no other concubine to share the room. The side is so clean that many adults who came to the banquet laughed at him. However, the old Hou Ye at that time He just smiled lightly."
"Well, from what you've said, it seems that things won't be so good in the future."
"That's right, after this, it's not just bad. It seems that once, someone from the Tu family sent a letter saying that the old lady was dying. At that time, the old lady was indeed dying. So Mrs. Hou Ye I have to go back to the mansion to take care of the sick. After all, she is my own mother. Even though it was not right to think of Mrs. Hou because of asking for some money, as a daughter, she still went home to live for no less than 20 years. About a day."
"Why did you live for so long?" Twenty days, this is a bit interesting.
"That's right, it's about twenty days. I still remember very clearly that old lady Tu couldn't do it anymore, so I called all the daughters who married out. They took turns to wait on her, and Mrs. Hou Ye was no exception. I still remember that for a while, several sons at that time went to the mansion to find Mrs. Hou Ye, but she also sent them back in a hurry. Hou Ye thought that she might be too busy, so he didn't send the children there again. Not long after I came back, Mrs. Hou was pregnant and had a young lady within half a year. However, since then, the old Hou seemed to be in a bad mood. Back then, my husband and I saw him alone in the courtyard Drinking. At that time, Mrs. Hou Ye seemed to be angry with him. It is said that when she returned home, Mrs. Hou Ye saw that there was a girl next to Lord Hou who was very kind to him. It's getting colder and colder."
Chen Xiangwan squinted her eyes. She had a hunch that there might be something wrong with it. It was just a guess earlier, but now, she is 90% sure.
Exchanged a glance with Yixuan, both of them nodded secretly. Knowing that this time I found Mrs. Du to chat, I really made a profit.
"Anyway, since the wife became pregnant, the two have always had conflicts, and, in the end, they both slept in separate rooms. Oh, earlier, how could such a thing happen?"
Chen Xiangwan straightened her back again, but listened carefully to what her mother-in-law said.
Ever since Miss Fifth was born, the relationship between Madam and Lord Hou has been much worse than before. It may also be because the old lady didn't take care of her very much. Since then, the old waiter has been sick.
When he was pregnant with Qi Ye, the old Hou Ye suddenly suffered a stroke and fell ill. Like the guy in my family, he never got up again. Alas, speaking of it, when the old marquis was alive, he was really good. It's a pity that good people don't live long. "
After sending the mother-in-law away, Chen Xiangwan and Yi Xuan stared blankly at each other. Until, after a long time, Qiuchi felt that these two were playing dumb.
Chen Xiangwan said leisurely, "What do you think?"
"Oh, what else can I think? I just think that the old woman is afraid that not only the lives of the servants are in her hands, but the old marquis may also..."
Qiu Chi's eyes widened, unable to believe what he heard. She bent down slowly and exited the room.
Some words are better not to listen to. The conversation between the aunt and the nanny was really terrifying.
"That's right, if our guess is true, then the Tu family is probably involved in this matter. If not, it's impossible to understand the relationship between the Tu family and that person over the years."
"If this is the case, you can understand why the old man behaved like that. I'm afraid his illness was also caused by human beings. When the old waiter passed away, he was not very old. Besides, it was reasonable to say at that time , he shouldn't have another child with Mrs. Hou Ye..."
