"I'll just wait for the aunt to be born!" I pulled a bed of silk over my grandmother's body, carefully looking at the fatigue between her eyebrows, a bit of heartache.

Grandmother leaned against the kang with her eyes half closed, as if she were asleep.

Just when I thought my grandmother had fallen asleep, a sentence suddenly came from the room:

"Do you think this is the work of Eldest Brother's wife?"

Didn't he just confirm that it was his mother? Why did his grandmother suddenly ask?

"I can't tell either."

This is really my heart, have the motive, have the ability to harm the aunt Chen, in this family only mother.

However, if you looked carefully, it didn't seem like the work of a mother.

After pondering for a while, Grandmother suddenly stood up, and called out loudly: "Hong Chang!"

Did he remember something extraordinary?

"Go and set a table for breakfast!"

I never thought that Grandmother called Hong Chang in to pass on the food.

Grandmother looked at me with an astonished expression and gently smiled. "How can I let you starve just for such a troublesome thing?"

This morning was not morning, noon was not noon, what kind of meal did he eat?

Indeed, I was not the only one who was troubled by this issue. When Hong Chang brought her granny to a table with food that was even more delicious than lunch, it was obvious that she was in a difficult situation as well. Grandmother frowned when she saw the chicken jacket, then looked at the bamboo shoot ribs behind her. She looked even more unhappy, as if she was about to reprimand him.

"You may leave!" There's no need to wait on me here! " Seeing the last of the soup, I hurriedly smiled and instructed.

Grandmother was usually very kind and magnanimous, but if compared to her real personality, she would be like an eight horned horse that could not be pulled back. These servants were not in the wrong, but because their grandmother was unhappy with them, she wanted them to stand in front of a platoon for free. This was not the main family's way of treating people.

Without the servants, I had to get up and serve my grandmother.

"Sit down!" Before I could get up, Grandmother pushed me back down on the kang. "I'm not angry, I just want to ask them to trade some food that you like!"

"That's good!" Smiling, I picked up a piece of golden red date cake and placed it on Grandmother's plate.

Grandmother shook her head and looked at me with an exceptionally gentle gaze. "I used it this morning. You can eat it."

Seeing that my grandmother was adamant about it, I didn't press on. I only ate a piece of cake in the morning, and after all this torture, I was so hungry that my heart was already against my back. Grandmother was resting with her eyes closed, while I ate slowly.

"Get out of my way …" Just as he ate a few mouthfuls, he heard a ruckus outside. A sharp female voice cut through the silence of the breakfast time, followed by the persuasive voices of the maidservants.

Grandmother abruptly opened her eyes, her gaze exceptionally sharp. She asked loudly towards the outside, "What's going on outside?"

"Reporting to the old lady, it's Madam!" It was Grandmother's servant, Hong Chang's voice from outside. Although it sounded calm, it still had a slight tremble to it.

Could his mother have caused the maidservants in his grandmother's courtyard to be so flustered?

"Let her in!" Grandmother's voice was dignified and calm.

In just a short moment, the sound of footsteps reached the window. The heavy footsteps were disorderly, clearly something that a graceful woman like her mother could not do.

"I'm afraid mother has ill intentions!" I was a little apprehensive and looked at my grandmother, who was also listening from across the kang.

What good would happen to his wife in broad daylight, bringing along a bunch of rough mothers to the courtyard of her mother-in-law, who was protecting her concubine?

"No problem, I want to see what kind of storm she can create!" His grandmother, who was sitting on the opposite side of the brick bed, lowered her eyes and did not show any emotion.

The calm atmosphere infected me, and my heart instantly settled down.

"Stay behind that screen, and be careful not to embarrass our good lady!" Grandmother pointed to her inner room, indicating that I should leave.

If I was in front of her, Mother would have to take into account her seniors' reputation and wouldn't say it out loud. Instead, she wanted me to ask about it afterwards. Furthermore, suppressing his mother with filial piety was just wishful thinking. If his mother was such a good person, how could she have done anything to his aunt? Grandmother's pavilion had a back door that led to the backyard. There were a lot of old mothers who had lost their husbands in the back room, and they were all old people by Grandmother's side. Why not ask them to come and watch with me in the inner room?

After making up my mind, I went back to the inner room before my mother went in and went to the back door to cover the room.

By the time I came back, the room was already in a very noisy state. Although the powerful ladies beside my mother had not entered the house yet, they were closely following behind my mother and a unfamiliar mother. The three of them stood in front of my grandmother, acting as if they were in a very urgent situation. I leaned in and tried to decipher the words:

"I wonder which son of a b * tch is so shameless as to say that it's his wife who harmed the child in Aunt Chen's womb!" His mother said in a rough voice, her face red, and her eyes staring straight at his grandmother.

I've never seen my mother act like this before! In the past, even if her mother knew that it was her grandmother who said this, she would only wipe away a few tears from her back.

His mother seemed to be in a very bad mood recently. She suddenly became impatient and impatient.

"You've heard quite a lot about your boss these past few years, why are you suddenly so impetuous?" His mother, who had suddenly rushed into the room, looked extremely unhappy. However, after hearing his mother's words, she started to laugh. She picked up a piece of goose oil omelet from the table and slowly chewed on it. She didn't seem to care at all.

Grandmother's words implied that her mother did not manage the house properly, yet looked relaxed on the surface. Her mother's face alternated between red and white, as if she was opening a dyeing workshop.

After thinking for a while, his mother opened her mouth again, "It's precisely because my wife has been in charge for a long time that she knows that this rumor is harmful, so she has decided to investigate this matter!"

"I've never heard of anyone coming to visit my mother-in-law when something happened in her yard!" Grandmother threw her chopsticks on the table and looked at her coldly.

Normally, his mother would have been forced to retreat by her grandmother's expression. But now, she stood in front of his grandmother with an imposing manner, as if she would never give up!

Had my mother become like this before I realized it?

"If mother didn't protect her, I wouldn't have come here to ask mother!" His mother changed from her respectful tone to condescendingly looking at his grandmother with disdain.

"That's right!" Grandmother seemed not to care at all as she leisurely sipped her tea. "I did leave her here, but who said that the dirty words you heard were from my courtyard?"

His mother's face was ashen as she glared angrily at her grandmother. However, she was at a loss for words.

"If the Old Ancestor says that you don't have it here, then naturally you don't." Seeing that her master had suffered a loss, her mother hesitated before stepping forward, "It's just that the old saying is right!" Those who are clean will know themselves, while those who are muddled will be muddled. " Old granny, this is the most important place in the residence. It would not be good if you could sneak in and disturb your peace and quiet with those random people. "First, I was thinking of your safety, old lady. Secondly, I was concerned about your reputation, so I might as well ask our madam about your mother and sisters, and naturally wouldn't be able to ask about anything that wasn't said. If there's someone like you who is blushing and talking so much as loves to stir up trouble behind other people's backs, then it would be better for you to clean up your daughter-in-law's heart for you, lest I disturb your peace and quiet!"

To be able to say such words, it could be said that he had put a lot of thought into it!

On the surface, it seemed as if he was wholeheartedly trying to clear his grandmother of her grievances, but in reality, he was only trying to insert his hands into the affairs of his grandmother's inner court. "Compared to her mother, her mother was still too young, she could only pester people into talking nonsense, not knowing what she was going to get for herself; her mother's every word was respectful, but if someone in the courtyard was handed over to her and she didn't say it, then it would be all thanks to her. When the life and death of her trusted aides were in the hands of others, no matter how formidable her grandmother was, it would still be difficult for her to defeat her.

"Ha ha!" Grandmother suddenly laughed out loud, not only did it scare my mother who was standing in front of her, it also surprised me who was standing behind the screen.

"Look at how you came here to find the rules, and what kind of animals do you have by your side!" Grandmother pointed at her mother, "She dares to interrupt when Master is speaking?"

"Mother Du, give me a slap on the face!" Grandmother looked at her with a cold smile, as if she already regarded her as a fish under the chopping block.

"Our family has always been benevolent, how can we casually hit others!" Before Mother Du could step forward, her mother had already stepped in front of her.

It is rare for Master to see such a loyal mother defending her mother from punishment. I can't help but be surprised. So, this mother Feng is already so important to her mother.

"It is because of our family's benevolence that we have raised such indecent and tricky slaves!" Grandmother slammed the teacup onto the table. The bottom of the teacup was placed on top of the black brick table. It was truly astonishing.

"Although mother Feng should not open her mouth without permission, the people in your yard are not dead people who cannot speak!" At this point, his mother was already acting tough, but inside, she was weak. She was just an empty shell, and the aggressive look she had on her face was nowhere to be seen.

To give up my original intention for a mother, I really feel sad for my mother who stood in front of me and was called by me for more than ten years.

If his mother could bear to use him as a trusted subordinate, she could naturally hold the power to control his grandmother's courtyard in her hands. At that time, not only would a little girl like Hong Chang be his mother, but she would also be his mother.

His mother had made one wrong move and lost everything!

"I think you will teach those idiots in your courtyard to come here to behave atrociously sooner or later!" Grandmother looked at her mother who stood in front of her with a smile on her face. She seemed more like a kind and amiable junior that was close to her, yet her words were like a knife in the early spring, hurting her to the bone.

My mother stood in the middle of the room, grumbling something no one had heard, shouting at my grandmother, "I'll find that garrulous little bitch!" Ye Zichen stomped his foot and left with the people beside him.

He came in such an unstoppable manner and left in such a hurry.

His mother's recent actions had made it even more difficult for him to understand … Not to mention, she was the one who had done this. Even if it was to cleanse her face, she had never seen such an action. Although his mother was not very intelligent, she shouldn't be so easily fooled.

After thanking the mothers who were hiding behind the screen with me, I let go of the money from my waist and asked them to take it to have a cup of tea. They didn't want them to do anything, so they watched their master's play in vain. How could they not be happy? They gratefully accepted the reward and went back to their respective rooms.

"Why didn't you punish that mother Feng?" I came out of the pavilion and asked my grandmother, who was staring at a table of food with her head turned to one side.

If her grandmother had insisted on punishing her, she would not have been able to fight back. The women I had invited were heavy with their feet, and there was no reason why my grandmother couldn't hear the warm room and the inner room, separated only by a single door.

"That mother Feng is repulsive, but if she falls, then her master will be left without someone to take care of. It would be better to keep her for now, and once this matter is settled, I will naturally have a way to deal with her!"

Grandmother shook her head helplessly, as if leaving this mother by her mother's side would be of great use.

"Mother originally had a lot of servants by her side. Where's the next one?"

As usual, there were two first-rate mothers, six second-rate mothers, twenty crude wives, two first-rate maids, six second-rate maids, and twelve third-rate maids in the mother's room. The quota in his mother's yard had always been full. Ever since his mother had come, she had become one of the top three. There were even more people who served her than her grandmother.

Grandmother shook her head. "Although this is despicable, she is still very meticulous. She can't leave us for a while, so don't say anymore. You will know in the future."

This was the second time Grandmother had said something about her mother.

Due to my rebirth, I learned a lot of things that others couldn't foresee. This is the first time someone mentioned about the future, but I didn't know what she was referring to.

"Do you see if this is what she did?" Grandmother took a sip of tea and asked lightly.

"You've already made up your mind. Why do you need to ask me?" I smiled down and touched a beautiful orchid embroidered with silver thread at the edge of my sleeve.

"I originally thought it was her, but now it doesn't seem like it!" Grandmother touched the uneven lid of the tea-cup, lost in thought.

"If it's her, wouldn't it be asking for trouble if she were to come over here?" She clearly knows that I'm a filial person, but she can't win against me no matter what. If he said he wanted to confess, then why couldn't he just say things in a proper manner? However, if we say whether she did it or not, there can't be a second one in this family … "

But what if his mother said that on purpose?

It was true that her mother was stupid. Wasn't she the astute "Military Advisor", Mother Feng?

"You've worked too hard!" I poured out the tea that was already completely cold in my grandmother's cup and poured a cup of new tea into her hands. "I will only take care of this matter!"
