"Mother!" When my mother, who had just entered the house, saw me in my grandmother's arms, her face turned ugly.

Grandmother used the handkerchief to wipe my tears, and comforted me in a soft voice: "Good! Don't be afraid, it's all in the past now! "

What did this mean?

Mother pursed her lips and sat on the brick bed. She took off her yellow embroidered Ivy shoes and placed them on her feet. Then she crossed her legs and sat down face to face with Grandmother.

"What's going on?" His mother's voice was stiff and harsh.

It was obvious that he was asking me this question.

"I'm fine!" "I'm fine!" Grandmother smilingly patted my back and said, "I asked her how those little lass treated them today. I don't know why, but she cried after saying a few words!"

Grandmother's words were very skillful. She didn't say what it was about, but it also implied that I was timid. I was shocked by the situation that was unfolding today.

The matriarch of the Xu family had handed over her grandmother's handkerchief, but Miss Xue was her mother's niece. Obviously, her mother would not be so rash as to bring the farce between Miss Xu and Miss Xue to the light of day.

Grandmother had seized on this point, making it difficult for her mother to ask or not to ask.

Sure enough, my mother's face was slightly refreshed, and didn't mention the previous topic at all. She laughed and said, "Quickly wipe your tears away, you're still so big and you still want to act like a spoiled child to your grandmother! "Go wash your face, let's eat!"

I couldn't help but look at my grandmother in admiration.

Hearing her mother's words, the young maids behind Hong Chang all took out the dishes from their food boxes, placing them one by one on the table, while Hong Chang personally poured water into her grandmother's brass basin.

She dropped to her knees in front of her grandmother, lifted the basin with a smile, and raised it to the right height in front of me.

This is a maidservant in front of Grandmother. Even Grandmother didn't use her to kneel to serve me. How could I dare to be rash?

I pulled at the handkerchief in my sleeve and dried my face. I quickly reached out to support her. Don't do that! "Tell Lan Li from my room to come in!"

Hong Chang smiled and looked at Grandmother.

"Stand up and carry the basin! She's thin-skinned and can't stand this! " Grandmother laughed and teased me.

At the side, his mother, who was filling the porridge, had a smile on her face.

Because just now, Hong Chang helped her mother to put on her shoes, causing her mother to hurriedly reject her request. If she were to serve me while kneeling down at this moment, it would be difficult for her to save face!

Hong Chang stood up slowly, and took a small step back.

I couldn't help but exclaim in admiration. What a meticulous and meticulous girl!

I stood on top of her feet, which was a little taller than she was, and bent over so that I could pour the water from the basin on top of my face.

I washed my face with the pancreas on one side, and naturally there were maidservants who served mother and grandmother. The three of us washed our hands and sat on the brick bed together.

Cucumber, soy sauce, radish sticks, fried quail, all in a small saucepan of marinade gold. On the other side, there was a bowl of plain porridge of June, snow, and green plums.

Grandmother nodded at her mother with a smile. "You've arranged everything very well!"

His mother placed a green cucumber on a sauce-colored fixed kiln plate in front of his grandmother and said with a smile, "My wife thought that what she ate at noon was neither fish nor meat. She probably lost her appetite at night, so she instructed the kitchen to make some light food."

"Send some to Aunt Chen!" She's probably thinking about this too! " Grandma put the cucumber her mother had brought into her mouth and chewed it noisily.

The mother covered her sleeves and laughed. "Mother doesn't need to say it, I've already sent it!"

Her mother's smile was serene, her expression relaxed, as if nothing had happened!

What was going on?

If Aunt Chen had used that medicine, she would have had a fit by now. But there was no movement now. Didn't Mother think it was strange?

Could it be that his mother had become so scheming that she could not show any emotions?

[Then my plan today must be a big trick for Master Guan!]

I suddenly wanted to know where that Feng mama by my mother's side had gone to.

"Why does a child like you only drink porridge?" I heard my grandmother's voice in my ears before I came to my senses.

Grandmother frowned at me as she held the small bowl.

What has happened to me recently?

It was one thing to make a hundred mistakes, but to be able to wander in the world when one shouldn't slip away!

A regretful expression couldn't help but surface on my face. I lowered my head and scooped up a mouthful of congee. "I'm fine!"

"Are you tired? If you're tired, then go back and rest!" My mother placed a fried quail in front of me, her voice calm and gentle.

I carefully stared at my mother's exquisite face, trying to find some clues.

Mother was stunned by my gaze. She glared at me and scolded me, "What's wrong with you, child!?" "What are you staring at me for!"

It was obvious that Grandmother had also noticed my abnormality, but she didn't want to open her arms in front of her mother. She smiled and pointed to her bed. "If you're tired, you should rest on my bed first!"

Looks like Grandmother still has something to say to me!

"I'm fine!" I smiled and waved it off. "I just remembered that Second Miss Jiang told me that her sister is about to be married off. I don't know if I'll see her again in the future!"

I must be getting a bit impatient!

Grandmother laughed out loud. She patted my head and said, "Since you can't bear to part with her, I'll just tell you then that your elder will only find a place to stay with her!"

My mother looked at me with a somewhat obscure expression. She tightly pursed her lips but didn't say anything.

It seemed that her mother did not have the ability to keep her emotions in check.

That was to say, if his mother found out that the medicine given to Aunt Chen had not succeeded, she would more or less have to show some emotion, and not be as indifferent as she was now. Besides his mother, who else would dare to do such a thing? Not to mention that the food was not only cooked by his mother's kitchen, but was also personally delivered by his mother's serving maid.

Other than his mother, the only one who could order his mother around like that was his mother!

Could she have planned this?

I was looking for a reason to meet this mother Feng, and she came up to me on her own.

After eating, he removed his plate and drank some tea, then Hong Chang came in and replied: "Madam, mother Feng and the other two mothers are waiting in your courtyard."

"The Lu family sent you a birthday present!" My mother explained with a smile.

Grandmother took a sip of the tea and nodded slightly.

His mother then let out a sigh of relief, and shouted out to Hong Chang: "Come in quickly!"

He didn't expect that after what had happened, his mother still trusted her unfaithful and unfaithful mother. I picked up the teacup and sipped slowly, concealing the cold look in my eyes. I wonder if my mother ever dreamed of her own dead child, like me, when I woke up in the middle of the night.

The two mothers were both around forty years old. They both looked very round, and when they smiled, they seemed very thick. However, their eyes were very nimble. One was dressed in bleached pigments, the other had a gold-plated hairpin on his head, while the last one had a lilac pigmented face and a silver hairpin on his head. He was dressed very simply and generously, but both of their hands were very delicate, comparable to the pure-white softness of a maidservant who worked beside a lady like Lan Lingyun.

"This servant pays her respects to the Old Ancestor!" The two moms followed behind her and kneeled down as soon as they came in. If it wasn't for the clever maidservants who were standing at the side, the two moms would have directly knelt down on the ground.

I took the opportunity to glance at Mother Feng, who was standing at the side.

He was slightly hunched, as usual, with a polite smile on his face.

This mother Feng, she always seems to be hiding something, I didn't expect to see anything from her at all!

The two mothers kowtowed three times before standing up, and then squatted down to pay our respects to my mother and me.

Grandmother asked a few questions about the Lu family's situation with a straight face. The two mothers answered respectfully and thoughtfully, but their eyes kept staring at me.

After a few perfunctory sentences, Grandmother yawned and laid her head on the pillow. She started to snore, as if she had fallen asleep.

The two mothers took the opportunity to say, "Since the grand lady is tired, then I will leave first. We still need to hurry back to Beijing."

Mother looked at Grandmother who was lying on the opposite side of the brick bed. Although she was unhappy, she did not say anything.

Seeing the two Lu family's wives staring at me with smiles on their faces, it was as though they were staring at a piece of fat meat.

Grandmother, you really hit the wall at the wrong time!

I tiptoed to my feet and gently pulled the quilt that was folded beside the kang over my grandmother's body. Grandmother suddenly opened her eyes and winks playfully at me. Her voice was pitiful as she said in a deep nasal voice, "Why did you leave just like that?"

His mother had just put on her bonnet, and when she heard his grandmother's words, she thought she wanted to keep her talking.

But before my mother could answer, my grandmother got up from her pillow and muttered, "Look at my memory! You must have a lot of things to take care of at the banquet today! "Hurry up and go!"

The ladies only took three tables, so the tables and chairs should have already been taken back to the library. When I came, I was already putting away the screen, so it was obvious that the things in the inner court had long since returned to the library. As for the gift, his mother would have asked him how to take it. His grandmother's private gift should have been given to his mother, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to see her for a long time. As for the outer court, his father hadn't come back yet, so it could be seen that the banquet at the outer court wasn't over yet. Although the gift from the male guest had still entered his mother's private storage in the end, he couldn't openly take it away. He had to move it little by little without anyone noticing.

Mother was probably even more free than usual!

It's just that your mother-in-law has already said that she'll forgive you for being busy, so if you say that you're not busy, people will inevitably think that you're belittling your mother-in-law.

My mother glared at me, signaling me to put on my coat so as not to delay her progress.

Standing aside in the shadows, Lu Jia's mother's eyes sparkled like a wolf's in a book as she was illuminated by the bright horn-shaped lights of flowers.

I pursed my lips into a smile as I stood up in a pretentious manner. I looked for the big red embroidered shoes on my feet and slowly put them on.

"Why aren't you going?" Grandmother looked up with a smile and asked my mother. She took a book of Heart Sutra from the side of the brick bed and handed it to me. "Read it to me. I haven't been sleeping well for the past few nights!"
