Mrs. Li's guess was right, the grandma of the Zhou family really came to check on her.
Early this morning, the servants in the mansion heard the rumors about the fourth child being raised in a concubine.
It's called biography with nose and eyes, as if someone saw it in person.
For example, the concubine raised by the fourth young master of the Zhou family has a great background. It is the concubine daughter of a second-rank official in the capital. Why does the concubine have already given birth to a pair of twin sons? The Zhou family planned to win over that second-rank official, and planned to quietly kill the fourth young lady who was pregnant and about to give birth, and moved the place for the outer room and her son...
These rumors just happened overnight, as if they had grown wings, they spread all over Qinglian County, and the old lady was so angry that she threw down several tea sets.
In just one morning, the old lady's mouth was full of blisters, and she severely scolded her, who presided over the feed in the backyard.
Grandma Zhou endured her grievances and tried to find a way with the old lady, but there was nothing she could do.
The main thing is, I can't figure it out even if I think about it, how did the matter with the fourth child just happen
It is impossible for the Zhou Mansion to spread the word, the Zhou Mansion is managed by her like an iron bucket, even if there are servants who want to spread the word, it is impossible, because the old lady ordered the old lady to hide the matter about the fourth child when it happened in the Zhou family. Yes, the servant girl knows very little.
Apart from the masters of the Zhou Mansion, Mama Ma and Mama Cheng beside the old lady know, right
Who spread the word
But the old lady suspected that it was the little uncle and wife of the Li family who did the tricks, and said that it was not such a coincidence that the second foolish servant girl next to the little uncle and wife of the Li family went out of Zhou Mansion, and rumors arose early this morning.
Let her come and test the Li family's little uncle and wife and that second foolish maidservant.
Mrs. Li knew that the grandma of the Zhou family was the one who would go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, and said in surprise when she heard the words: "How can it be like that? The old lady is too fussy, whoever is in charge can't make more omissions? I am also a member of the official family, I know the hard work of the official family, grandma must not take it to heart."
In fact, when calm prevailed again, Mrs. Li's mouth was very sharp, and her repeated cutting and hitting words made Grandma Zhou froze again.
This is insinuating that her official family is unfavorable, neglecting her relatives, scolding the old lady, and even provoking her relationship with the old lady's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
The grandma of the Zhou family now believed that Mrs. Li had done those rumors, and her eyebrows were raised.
Mrs. Li said cheerfully: "Oh, my younger siblings are really blessed. Seeing that the old lady's rewards are flowing into my sister-in-law's yard, but she is going to empty out her old man's warehouse! Spoil my sister-in-law, and share some with the other grandmas in the house!"
Mrs. Li's seemingly modest words are actually piercing the heart of the grandma of the Zhou family, or saying that stupid people have stupid blessings
The fourth younger sibling who does not eat fireworks has been favored since they married in. Later, the fourth brother hooked up with the outside room. For the future of the Zhou family, he continued to spoil the Li family. Do your best to spoil it!
If there is something delicious and useful, I must think of her first. Those old pieces and expensive jewelry handed down by the ancestors of the Zhou family are also sent to the Li family’s yard, like other daughters-in-law of the Zhou family. The decoration is the same.
So what if you are not reconciled
It's so easy, now it's time to get things done, the matter of the fourth child has been spread, and now it is rumored that the Zhou family is going to kill Li Shi and her children to move the outer room of the senior official's father, so the more this At the critical point, Li Shi and her children must not have any accidents!
The doctors who treated Li in the past were all fools. Who cares if she lives or dies? The midwife finds out that her fetal position is going to be dystocia, who among the masters of the Zhou family is not happy
But it can't be done now, Li Shi and her child must be kept!
Otherwise, the Zhou family would kill Mrs. Li to make way for the outer room. With such an ugly reputation, the Zhou family would be finished...
Grandma Zhou's eyes flashed again and again, her forehead hurt suddenly, how can she clean up this mess
If I had known that something so irresistible happened at the last moment, I shouldn't have listened to the old lady's intention to make Li's fetal position abnormal...
"Ahem..." Grandma Zhou coughed a few times, put on a smiling face and said, "This is all as it should be. Among the sisters-in-law of this generation, the fourth sibling is the youngest. The old lady should love her a little too much." of."
As soon as the words were finished, the grandma of the Zhou family shifted her gaze to Lin Fufu who was curiously looking at the little maid who was carrying all kinds of goodies.
She smiled and waved at Lin Fufu, "Good boy, come here."
Lin Fufu turned his head to look at her, and walked to Grandma Zhou with a smile, "Grandma, are you giving me something delicious today?"
If it was yesterday, Grandma Zhou would have jumped to give her a slap. What kind of thing is she, and she is still clinging to one thing
But now she won't be like this anymore. She carefully looked into Lin Fufu's eyes, and after confirming that her eyes didn't dodge at all, she looked at Mrs. Li and smiled, "Why is this girl so obsessed with eating?"
Mrs. Li also laughed, and said with a loving face: "Isn't it? Don't children just want to eat one?"
"My uncle and wife are really kind people." Grandma Zhou smiled deeper, but the smile didn't reach her eyes at all.
Mrs. Li also started a fight with her, and said with a smile: "Our family follows the family motto and treats others more leniently. Besides, my family has a simple population, so there is only two women and a few girls to accompany them. There is no need to treat them too much." Too harsh!"
"Sure enough, it is the family tradition of the Xinglin family." The grandma of the Zhou family praised against her will, but then looked at Lin Fufu and asked, "Good boy, tell me what you bought yesterday Already? Let me see which one you like to eat, how about I let the big kitchen make it for you?"
Hearing her clumsy words of coaxing children, Lin Fufu despised this shrewd Grandma Zhou in his heart.
So she deliberately annoyed her, "Grandma, what are you talking about, I'll tell you directly, I like pea yellow, kidney bean cake, and peanut cake."
Want to talk to me? There are no doors!
After Grandma Zhou heard her words, her forehead twitched in anger, her eyeballs rolled up, and she almost fainted from anger.
"Oh, what's wrong with Grandma, why are you rolling your eyes?" Lin Fufu shouted.
Grandma Zhou took a deep breath, really wishing she could just pass out from anger, so that the old lady can't come and force her to do such a thankless thing, right
But she couldn't get dizzy, so she tried to regain her composure, Grandma Zhou quickly waved her hands and said, "I'm fine, why are you so careless, kid?"
Mrs. Li then interjected, "I told Grandma that this child is innocent."
Grandma Zhou's eyebrows twitched: "I..."
It was speechless.
The grandma of the Zhou family asked a few more questions openly and secretly, but Lin Fufu and Mrs. Li teamed up to distract them. The grandma of the Zhou family was so angry that she was heartbroken, but there was nothing she could do.
She dragged her heavy body and went to the inner room of Mrs. Zhou's old lady with a gray face.
The old lady of the Zhou family is a kind-hearted old lady, who would have thought that she would be so cruel just by looking at her face
"You're here, how's it going?" Mrs. Zhou sat on the kang with a sullen face, looking at Grandma Zhou coldly.
Grandma Zhou shook her head.
"Useless stuff! You can't tell me what to say? What else can you do? Don't you want to worry about this?" Mrs. Zhou suddenly stood up from the kang, accusing Zhou condescendingly. Grandma asked.
Grandma Zhou couldn't express her suffering, so she could only accompany her carefully and said: "Mother, don't worry, according to my daughter-in-law, it is rumored that the incident has nothing to do with the Li family's uncle and wife, and that second foolish servant girl is heartless at all. Knowing whether to eat or not, what can she do?"
"Hmph, the more this is the case, the more problems there will be!" Mrs. Zhou snorted coldly, then sneered and said, "Boss daughter-in-law, are you really not able to contribute to this? If it doesn't work, tell me as soon as possible, I will Let the third daughter-in-law take care of it!"
Grandma Zhou's face paled. The third daughter-in-law had been fighting with her for half her life. Who would the old lady choose? She chose the third daughter-in-law to take care of her. Could it be that she really wanted to piss her off
"But...but mother, even if it was the little uncle and wife of the Li family, how did she know about it?" Grandma Zhou asked this question again. She and Mrs. Zhou said the same thing earlier, but Zhou The old lady decided that it was the woman.
The old lady of the Zhou family sneered again, "You ask me, who am I? So I asked you to investigate, but you couldn't find anything!"
The grandma of the Zhou family said: "Mom, now that this matter has come out, it's useless for us to find out who it is, we still have to find a way to deal with it."
In fact, the old lady of the Zhou family was helpless, so she forced the grandma of the Zhou family to investigate and solve the matter.
Now seeing the eldest daughter-in-law mentioning this issue again, she said angrily, "Don't just talk about it, but talk about how to solve this matter?"
Regarding her mother-in-law's domineering tone, Grandma Zhou really wanted to turn around and leave, but she couldn't.
Because the old four's mess happened, but all the men of the Zhou family followed him, so it was not about Zhou Laosi alone, but about the entire Zhou family.
Now the old lady of the Zhou family was confused a few years ago. The affairs of the Zhou family are decided by this seemingly kind-hearted old lady who is actually kind-hearted. Since she has specified that she, the person in charge of management, can make up her mind, what can she do? Woolen cloth
The grandma of the Zhou family closed her eyes, and then, as if she had made up her mind, she looked deeply at the old lady Zhou: "Mom, in my opinion, the matter in the outer room is easy to solve."
She made a neck-slicing motion.
Mrs. Zhou sneered: "You know her identity, how dare you take her life? What's more, she gave me two big fat grandchildren, exactly the same big fat grandsons!"
Grandma Zhou was speechless, isn't the old lady in a daze? Do you still think about the wealth of those charming eyes
Doesn't she know that since the scandal of the fourth child has happened, sooner or later the scandal will reach the ears of the old man of the Li family
The one who kept this matter secret before was not afraid of the old man of the Li family, nor of the Li family.
But now that the Zhou family's faults are known to the family, can the Li family forgive the Zhou family
One must know that before the Zhou family got close to that high-ranking official, the Zhou family might not necessarily be the opponent of the Li family!
"Old lady, don't move, but the most important thing right now is to keep Mrs. Li, even if Mrs. Li really can't keep her, at least the child in her belly must be kept!" Grandma Zhou took a deep breath and said softly: " Otherwise, the Zhou family will really be scolded by poking their spines!"
"Stupid woman, that's all you can think of?" The old lady of the Zhou family glanced at the eldest daughter-in-law sarcastically, her eyes were full of disappointment, and then she frowned, "The matter of the fourth child is the fastest of our Zhou family. I will never let anyone interfere with this matter! Not even the Li family!"
Grandma Zhou was speechless. The old lady was so lonely, what could she say
The old lady Zhou suddenly laughed strangely, looked at Grandma Zhou and asked, "Eldest daughter-in-law, do you know why I didn't think of a way to send her back on the day my uncle and wife of the Li family came?"
"My daughter-in-law is stupid, please tell me." Grandma Zhou immediately said respectfully.
In fact, although my mother-in-law is a bit cruel, but this old lady is really smart, she will never be able to stand shoulder to shoulder with her in this life, so this is why the old lady can still suppress her even though she has given all the rewards to her. her reason.
Mrs. Zhou glanced at Grandma Zhou with disdain, and raised her head arrogantly, "I have already made two-handed preparations. If something really happens, then Mrs. Li's uncle and wife will be the best scapegoat! Hmph... Sister-in-law is terrible!" Sister-in-law, this drama is really unexpected, my wife, I still want to find Mr. Li! Let him accompany me to a good daughter-in-law and a fat grandson!"
After hearing what the old lady of the Zhou family said, Grandma Zhou trembled a few times in fright, and instantly felt a chill all over her body, it was so cold to the bone!
How can the old lady be so cruel...
Grandma Zhou's eyes were full of fear when she looked at the old lady, as if she was the one the old lady wanted to plot against.
Seeing the frightened appearance of the eldest daughter-in-law, Mrs. Zhou looked down on her very much, and scolded unforgivingly: "Look at your talent, what's this little trick? If in the future we Zhou Once your family soared to the foot of the imperial city, is this what you are going to do?"
Grandma Zhou's heart shuddered, and she was stimulated by the words "at the foot of the imperial city".
At this time, there is no doubt that the old lady's method is the best!
"I know mother, what should I do about this?"
Seeing that the eldest daughter-in-law was still saved, Mrs. Zhou nodded, seeing that her expression became gentler, then sat cross-legged on the kang again, and said lightly: "You don't have to worry about this matter, I will arrange it .”
This is distrust of her, and Grandma Zhou's body froze.
But Mrs. Zhou had already waved her hand impatiently at Grandma Zhou, and said, "Okay, go to work, don't show any expressions, and entertain Mrs. Li's uncle well."
Ever since the grandma of the Zhou family left with a gray face, Lin Fufu's heart has been tensed. She knows that at this point, the Zhou family has only two choices.
One is to smooth out the incident in the outer room on Thursday, which may be to kill people.
There is another one, which is still to kill and silence, but it is to kill the people from their Li family, and then kill the sister-in-law of the Li family, and then report to the official, saying that Mrs. Li and the sister-in-law had a conflict and killed the sister-in-law by mistake, killing two people.
Then the murderer got scared and committed suicide himself...
The latter one is extremely vicious, even if someone suspects it and the rumors are bad, as long as the Zhou family does everything well and has a good relationship with the parents and officials in Qinglian County, the suicide can be convicted of the suicide.
In the face of evidence, no amount of rumors will stop one day, and it will have no effect on the Zhou family for a long time.
However, the Zhou family must have never thought that they had already written to the old man of the Li family, so with this variable, it is easy to say.
Lin Fufu decided to act by ear.
Once she found out that the Zhou family had plans to kill and silence her, she would go all out to let the Zhou family experience her power.
Of course, it is impossible for her to get out of the Zhou Mansion now, but people from outside can still get in.
For example, the person Liu Qin found.
It's time for lunch again. This time, the grandma of the Zhou family personally took the meal with others, and for the first time invited the Li family's sister out to have dinner with Mrs. Li.
Standing behind Mrs. Li, Lin Fufu saw the flowing food being served on the table, and the young lady of the Li family was sitting on the side talking to Mrs. Li with a smile on her face, and her heart ached.
This is unusual. According to her understanding, Aunt Li's meals are specially prepared by the big kitchen of the Zhou family. It made her feel bad.
But why did this rule change today? No sign yet.
Lin Fufu glanced coldly at the food on the table. Could it be that there is something wrong with the food on the table? Don't be another "Hongmen Banquet"!
Grandma Zhou has already sat down, Mrs. Li sits in the first seat, Aunt Li sits in the second seat, and Grandma Zhou sits in the bottom seat.
She picked up an exquisite white porcelain flagon with a smile, stood up and poured wine for Mrs. Li, "Mrs. Uncle, let me have a few drinks with you today, as an apology for my ignorance yesterday!" He poured a full glass of wine for Mrs. Li.
Although Mrs. Li didn't know what kind of medicine she was selling in her gourd, she stretched out her hand and didn't hit the smiling face, so she had no choice but to say, "It's serious."
The grandma of the Zhou family looked at the little aunt of the Li family again and said, "Fourth brother and sister, you are pregnant, so you don't drink this wine, and drinking tea is not good either. Rose fragrance dew, you can drink a little with my uncle and wife, and it can be regarded as an apology for my sister-in-law."
The young lady of the Li family who said this was puzzled, she still didn't know how her mother-in-law's sister-in-law offended her natal sister-in-law.
So the face is embarrassing.
Also, she doesn't like to drink that rose dew at all, she drank it when she was in her natal family.
But it's not appropriate to say that on this occasion.
She was in a difficult situation.
Lin Fufu laughed and said, "Look, the Fourth Young Mistress doesn't like to drink it, so why don't the Fourth Young Mistress give it to me?"
"Why..." Grandma Zhou's face changed, and she wanted to stop her.
The little aunt of the Li family smiled and said: "If the child likes it, then give it to the child. It's okay for the elder sister-in-law. I'll just drink some water and accompany the two sister-in-laws."
Li Fufu happily took the rose dew from the red bottle, quickly unscrewed the cork, put it on the tip of his nose and smelled it, and then his face changed greatly...
