After about a quarter of an hour, the doorkeeper came out and said to the carriage driver of Li's residence who was waiting at the side: "Since it is our fourth young lady's natal sister-in-law, please come in."
What is the fourth young lady's natal sister-in-law? According to reason, in order to show respect to the family of the little girl of the Li family, even the old master and old lady in the Zhou mansion have to call Mrs. Li "uncle and madam".
Lin Fufu looked at Mrs. Li worriedly, seeing the Zhou family's attitude towards Mrs. Li, Mrs. Li wanted to arrange for her to see Li's sister-in-law, but it might not go so smoothly...
"What's wrong with this Zhou mansion? Last year it was fine. How did it become like this this year? It's so ignorant!" Mrs. Li flicked her sleeves fiercely, and said to Jiang's mother: "Let's get out of the car and let Lao Yin general The carriage rushed to Zhou's stable."
Jiang's mother hurriedly answered yes, and got out of the car first.
"Gospel, let's go down." Mrs. Li said holding back her breath.
"Ma'am, don't be angry, we'll make a fuss when we enter the Zhou Mansion." Lin Fufu persuaded, she knew that Mrs. Li's temper was explosive, otherwise she wouldn't have been in a stalemate with the old man of the Li family for so many years.
"Well, for the sake of my poor sister-in-law and the little nephew in her belly, I'll bear with it today, and then I'll argue with the Zhou family later!" Madam Li's eyes flashed coldly, and she became really worried. In the case of her sister-in-law, the child hasn't been born yet, so why did the Zhou government start to treat her natal family like this.
It stands to reason that if the gatekeeper has reported to the mansion, at least the main house will send a decent woman out to meet her, but she hasn't seen a single ghost!
Lin Fufu and Mrs. Li entered the Zhou mansion and walked for a long time before seeing a half-new and not old beige in the color of ditang, who was in her forties, hurried out of the inner courtyard with a scrupulous bun. Followed by two little maids who just left their heads.
When Mrs. Li saw this woman, her complexion became better.
It turned out that she was Madam Zheng, the dowry mother of Mrs. Li's sister-in-law, Li Jiarou.
"Mrs. Uncle, I'm so rude..." Mama Zheng rushed over to greet Mrs. Li in a few steps.
Mrs. Li had a smile on her face, helped her up, and asked, "How are you and the child?"
"Mrs. Uncle... you are here, our wife..." Mama Zheng almost cried with her back to the two little maids in the outer courtyard of the Zhou Mansion.
Her face of crying or not made Mrs. Li jump, her soul almost flew out, she grabbed Mama Zheng and said with a sharp expression, "It's so good, what's the matter? Let's go back to sister-in-law's yard first Say it again."
Zheng's mother held back and said in a disguised way: "It's been a long time since I saw my uncle and wife. I am grateful for the good wool blanket that my uncle and wife gave me last year. It is still warm this year..."
Mrs. Li saw that she didn't match her words, and knew she was covering up something, so she couldn't help but support Mama Zheng, and told the two little maids, "Good boys, help your Mama Zheng, she just left too quickly. Yes, she's dizzy."
Those two little maids were too young to be fooled, so they immediately went to support Mama Zheng.
Mama Zheng knew that Mrs. Li was rounding her up for her, so she pretended to be dizzy, and stretched out her hand to support her head, followed by two little maids supporting her arms on both sides.
Seeing this scene, Lin Fufu felt even worse.
Mrs. Li's complexion was gloomy, her eyes were condensed, and it was obvious that she couldn't figure it out.
"The Zhou Mansion is really good. Do you think the Li family is all dead?" Mrs. Li muttered in a low voice, not thinking about Lin Fufu who was walking beside her.
Madam Zheng was led by two maidservants. There were many houses and yards in the Zhou Mansion, which were much larger than the yards of Master Feng's that Lin Fufu saw in Qingyang Town. The Zhou family is worthy of being a famous family in Qinglian County.
But this hospitality etiquette is really criticized.
"Ma'am, don't worry, we can talk about it in my sister-in-law's yard." Lin Fufu was afraid that she would run away violently, so he comforted her gently.
Turning and turning, it took only a cup of tea to arrive at the yard of Li's sister-in-law.
"Mother Zheng, tell me, what's going on?" Mrs. Li looked at her sister-in-law's huge yard, and there was not even a little girl cleaning the door, and immediately shouted.
Lin Fufu was also surprised that there was no gatekeeper in the yard. Why did Zheng's mother bring two little maids with her when she went to pick up Mrs. Li
Mama Zheng glanced at the two little maids who were holding her arms, Madam Li immediately knew the trick and gave Mama Jiang a wink.
Mother Jiang nodded, reached out her hand to take out two small silver ingots of one tael from her purse, stuffed them into the hands of the two little maids, and said with a smile: "You two are good boys, you have run all the way Pick up our wife on the way, this is my wife's gift to you to buy candy, go and play."
Not to mention that the two little maids were transferred to the courtyard of the pregnant Fourth Young Mistress, they had never received such a big reward even when they worked in the courtyard of the eldest grandma and the old lady before, the two held each other tightly. Holding the silver ingot, he immediately bowed and saluted, then turned and ran away.
Seeing that the two little maids had run away, Mrs. Li asked Mama Jiang to drag Mama Zheng to an open eaves. Standing there had the best view, and anyone hiding in any corner could see it.
"Mother Zheng, those two little girls have been sent away, what should you say?" Mrs. Li looked at her closely, and Mother Jiang also looked at her, but Lin Fufu frowned and wondered what he was thinking.
Mother Jiang still looked around cautiously, then looked at Mrs. Li, and cried out sadly: "Mrs. Uncle, please save our wife..."
Before she said this, Madam Zheng was about to kneel down to Mrs. Li, but before she knelt down, Lin Fufu stretched out her hand to support her firmly.
Jiang's mother glanced at Lin Fufu in shock. This little girl had a very strange face. She was neither the eldest daughter nor the youngest daughter of my uncle's wife, and she didn't look like a little girl in her clothes, but she was only thirteen or fourteen years old. How can you be so strong at your age
"Ma'am, Mother Jiang, let's talk while walking." Lin Fufu said lightly.
For some reason, she felt that there were more than two eyes locked on them, which prevented Mother Jiang from kneeling.
Mrs. Li knew that Lin Fufu didn't interrupt for no reason. Since she said this, there must be something inappropriate, so she nodded, "Then let's talk as we walk, and make a long story short!"
"Mrs. Uncle, the people in Zhou's mansion are pretending to be kind and good people, but they are actually vicious wolves inside. They...the midwives they invited said that our wife's pregnancy is going to be difficult. If you don’t say anything about my wife’s life, you’ll let our wife fend for herself!” Jiang’s mother broke down in tears.
A no matter what, fend for itself already contains all.
"It's really deceiving! Do you think there is no one in my Li family?" Mrs. Li was furious, her eyebrows were raised upside down, and she said angrily: "No wonder the guard at the gate of the Zhou Mansion was so rude when I was outside the gate. It turns out that the Zhou family came up with this idea!" After Madam Li finished speaking, she asked sharply, "Where is Zhou Muling, call him here, I have to ask him carefully, why did my Li family girl and our Li family feel sorry for him? Are you going to endure their Zhou family spoiling our Li family girl like this?"
"Oh..." Zheng's mother heard their young master Zhou Muling caressing his forehead, and said angrily, "Shut up, my uncle, my uncle is the worst thing!"
"What do you say? What's wrong with him?" Mrs. Li didn't know anything when she heard Madam Zheng's tone. It must be that Zhou Muling had given up on her sister-in-law and the child in her belly.
But Lin Fufu didn't think so simply. Her eyes flickered, and she looked at Zheng's mother and asked in a gentle voice, "You and our wife have a good talk about Mr. Zhou's matter, and there must be no falsehood or embellishment."
Mama Zheng looked at Lin Fufu again suspiciously, but seeing her extraordinary demeanor, calm and calm, she immediately said, "Don't worry about hiding my uncle and wife and this girl."
Mrs. Li introduced to her: "This is Miss Lin, the miracle doctor I invited, who came here specially to show my sister-in-law. You must find a way to hide this matter from Madam Zheng."
After hearing Mrs. Li's words, Mama Zheng's eyes shone with brilliance. Are you a miracle doctor? Great, the young lady is saved!
As for Mrs. Li, she thought that the Zhou family was a family of etiquette, so they naturally treated her sister-in-law well, but now she realizes that this family is so vicious, but she just doesn't have to think about how to get Lin Fufu to see her sister-in-law. I'm afraid of hurting his family's face, so I don't have to think about this family now!
She just wants to think about her sister-in-law and the little nephew in her belly!
"Miss Lin, genius doctor Lin, I beg you, please save my young wife and the young master in her womb!" Mother Jiang almost knelt down again, and Lin Fufu hurriedly supported her.
She said in a deep voice, "Hurry up and tell me about your uncle."
Mama Zheng's eyes immediately glowed with hatred, and she said in a hateful voice: "Our good uncle is a gentle scum, who has no regard for etiquette and shame!" Mama Zheng coughed angrily, and Mama Jiang, who was standing behind Mrs. Li, stood up immediately Come out and help her pat her back.
Lin Fufuliu frowned. The ancient slaves did not care about insulting their masters, especially the male masters. Otherwise, they would be beaten to death or sold. The reason why this mother Zheng dared to insult the male master in this way was probably because she was so angry that she was not afraid of being bullied. The Zhou family was killed.
What did Zhou Muling do to make Zheng's mother hate him so much
"Mrs. Uncle, you might faint from anger after hearing this, please take your time." Mama Zheng finally stopped coughing, and two lines of old tears rolled down her cheeks, "Our good uncle, he was out there two years ago. I have raised an outer room, and that outer room is a concubine daughter of a master of the second grade in Beijing. The two of them disregarded etiquette, righteousness, shame and shame, and now they gave birth to a pair of twin brothers, both of whom are over a year old..."
"What?" Mrs. Li was so shocked that she didn't know what to do when she heard what Zheng's mother said. Her voice was so loud that it was Lin Fufu who reached out and shook her arm to calm her down.
"Ma'am, the matter has come to this, we have to find a way to save people." Lin Fufu looked at Mrs. Li with a serious expression, "If my guess is correct, even if my sister-in-law shows no signs of dystocia, someone will get rid of my sister-in-law and her belly. paves the way for someone and someone's child!"
Mrs. Li felt dizzy, this matter has greatly exceeded her imagination, she finally forced herself to calm down, and said helplessly: "I don't know that your guess is right, but what should I do now?" After a pause, Mrs. Li asked unwillingly: "Hey, let me tell you, how dare the Zhou family dare? Are you not afraid that our son from the Li family will call?"
Lin Fufu narrowed his almond eyes slightly, and a coldness flashed in his eyes.
This week, the Zhou family thought that their son had gotten a concubine, so he thought he had climbed up to the second-rank official in the capital. Now, for the whole Zhou family, he leaned on a big tree. Auntie Li's matter is obvious. The entire Zhou family participated!
"Gospel, what should we do now? My brain has become muddled, how could I know that the matter is so serious!" Mrs. Li was sweating profusely, and complained: "Isn't my father the most fond of my sister-in-law? Doesn't he know anything about this? There are several sister-in-laws and cousins, why didn't anyone come?"
"Mrs. Uncle, you don't know something. No one in the family this week is a good thing!" Zheng's mother cried.
It turns out that in order to stabilize the old lady of the Li family and the young mistresses of the Li family, the old lady of the Zhou family ate, drank, and served her for the eight months before the little aunt of the Li family was pregnant. That's what women do when they're pregnant.
But a few days ago, I deliberately found a group of midwives to touch the baby's fetal position for my sister-in-law. They all said that the baby was in the shoulder position and would be difficult to deliver. Difficult childbirth, but I still believe that Dr. Li is asking the old man of the Li family and several Xinglin masters of the Li family to find a way to save Li's sister-in-law and her unborn child, so the old man Li is still working on it with the Li family's Xinglin masters. The fetal position is the shoulder position. Is there any way to make the baby's fetal position turn into the head position
And the young mistresses of the Li family also have their own busy schedules. Even if they want to see the sister-in-law of the Li family, they won't come too early, but by the time they come, I'm afraid they'll be dead. !
What a vicious heart, for the sake of the wealth that has no shadow, Zhou's family is so indifferent to two lives this week!
It's not Lin Fufu's conspiracy theory, maybe even if the fetus in Li's aunt's womb is in the shoulder position, I don't know if the Zhou family has done something secretly.
After all, there are both backward and advanced medical skills in this ancient time, and there are righteous ways and heretical ways.
But now is not the time to think so much. Lin Fufu saw that Mrs. Li was really confused, and asked her what to do, so she asked Mrs. Li, "Madam, will you leave this matter to me?"
She looked very serious, as if no matter how difficult it was, as long as you dare to entrust her, I will take up the responsibility.
"Gospel, I really don't know what to do. You are young and flexible, and my sister-in-law and nephew are entrusted to you!"
Lin Fufu nodded, and asked Mama Zheng in a warm voice, "Mama Zheng, is there a way to tell the Li family what happened to your young wife?"
Zheng's mother shook her head, and said with a pale face: "The Zhou family sold all the people brought by my young wife from her mother's house, and they sold them to Beirong. After sensing the Zhou family's intentions, the old slave deliberately Pretending to be dissatisfied with my young lady, she spoke ill of my young lady to the old lady of the Zhou family and the accompanying nurse of the eldest lady, and then left me to serve her. One of the little girls is a member of the old lady of the Zhou family, and the other is a person who is the head of the family. Although she is not very sensible, she can tell their master every word and deed of the old slave."
Only then did Lin Fufu understand why there wasn't even a gatekeeper to clean the yard of the sister-in-law of the Li family, but Mama Zheng was accompanied by two little maids, and why Mama Zheng talked about Mrs. Li rewarding her with a woolen blanket for no reason. It spread to the ears of the two masters of the Zhou Mansion that they only thought that Mama Zheng was greedy and was begging for good things in front of Mrs. Li again.
However, fortunately, Mrs. Li was generous and sent the two little maids away with one tael of silver each.
However, according to what Zheng's mother meant, besides her, the little aunt of the Li family had no one around.
This is why the Zhou family is so good at being the head of the family this week. They have cared for the little sister of the Li family for so many years, so that she never thought about taking care of her contacts in the Zhou mansion. As a result, as long as the Zhou family takes her away from her natal home If she was sold far away to Beirong, no one could use her, and she became a fish on the Zhou family's chopping board, and the Zhou family could kill or chop her up.
Lin Fufu's mind was spinning rapidly.
She knew that now that she, Mrs. Li and Mother Jiang had entered the backyard of the Zhou family, it was impossible for them to get out. Even if Lao Yin, the driver of the Li family, was in the outer courtyard, it was impossible for them to see them.
Now, the few of them have become shackles, and their lives may be in danger. From now on, we must always be on guard and be careful everywhere...
Lin Fufu thought with black lines all over his head: How did he know that Mrs. Li and Mrs. Li would encounter such a vicious fight in the back house when they came out to see a doctor
It seems that the backyards of the rich and famous people are not clean!
"Well, I see. I will think of a way. Don't worry, everyone. Let's go see the young lady first." Seeing that he was about to go to Aunt Li's inner room, Lin Fufu changed his words.
When she saw Miss Li's sister, her eyes lit up. She was a young woman of twenty-four or five years old, with an extremely pretty face. She was wearing a blue embroidered jacket, and she was holding a book in her hand. She was fascinated by reading on the bed, holding the scroll in one hand, and gently stroking her tall ball-like belly with the other, her face exuded a maternal brilliance.
Lin Fufu looked at Li's sister-in-law like this, and felt that Zhou Muling was really blind. He didn't want such a good wife. He insisted on having an affair with that concubine from a high-ranking official's family, and even gave birth to a child...
He didn't even think about it, could he be favored by the father of a high-ranking official in the capital and sent to such a remote frontier county? Don't know if it was a crime.
Mrs. Li's eyes became hot when she saw such a sister-in-law, and she called softly: "Jiarou!"
The young woman seemed to be startled, and quickly raised her head. When she saw Mrs. Li, she couldn't help shouting in surprise, "Little sister-in-law? Why are you here?" Then she looked at Lin Fufu keenly, "This girl is so nice. Sheng, is it brought by sister-in-law?"
