Chapter 4361 There’s something fishy
“Madam, she deliberately sent my uncle away to come here to find the young lady. We are here as guests now, so if you have anything to say, we’d better keep it quiet until we get back to our own home. Open the door and say something nice It’s not too late. The master and his wife love the young lady. The young lady knows better than anyone else, right?”
Liu Doukou raised his eyes and looked at the servant girl. This servant girl was her mother’s powerful servant and she used to be her mother’s wife. Here is the dowry maid.
"Yes." Liu Doukou nodded and stood up.
Making trouble here will cause trouble if my cousin comes over later and finds out about Xiao Yuxi. It is better to wait until I get home before begging my parents.
Just as this servant girl said, she is the darling of her parents, the apple of their eye. From childhood to adulthood, no matter what she wants, her parents will give it to her.
This time, naturally, there will be no exception.
At Lao Mu's house, Mrs. Liu just came out of the east room and was greeted by Mu Zichuan, who had been waiting here.
"Aunt, how is my cousin?" Mu Zichuan glanced at the door of the east room that was closed immediately, and asked with some worry.
Mrs. Liu turned around, smiled calmly at Mu Zichuan, and said, "I have persuaded her to lie down and she is fine."
Muzichuan still couldn't rest assured and asked again: "Why did my cousin go back to the river behind the village? Didn't she always go to the theater with my aunt and you guys before?"
Mrs. Liu smiled bitterly and said: "Today What was sung at night was the birthday wishes of the five daughters. Maybe she saw the kind-faced mother in the opera, and thought of her aunt, which made her feel uncomfortable."
"I dare not When I came back, I was afraid that if you saw it, it would arouse your sorrow, so that silly girl walked around the village alone to relax. She went to the river behind the village and was in a daze, which made it difficult for us to find a meal and scared everyone to death. !”
Mu Zichuan was deeply moved when he heard that the reason why his cousin was lost was because he missed his deceased mother and went to the river alone to commemorate the deceased.
“It’s really hard for my cousin.” Mu Zichuan said.
"In such a cold day, she stood alone by the river for so long and cried. It's really heartbreaking." Mu Zichuan said.
"Aunt, can I go in and see her?" he asked again.
In normal times, what Mrs. Liu wanted to see was that Mu Zichuan was kind to Liu Doukou, but he always looked cold.
Now he has taken the initiative to show his kindness, but Mrs. Liu does not dare to let him in.
The dead girl inside will get excited and pull Xiao Yuxi out, and the marriage will be over!
By then, not only would he lose Mu Zichuan, his noble son-in-law who would become a high official in the future, but he would also lose his nephew, Tanhualang. All his fame and benefits would be wasted, and he would also be laughed at.
"I finally coaxed Daukong to sleep. Zichuan, you'd better come see her tomorrow. It's getting late now, so go back to the house and rest!" Mrs. Liu said.
Mu Zichuan is a gentleman, and a gentleman observes etiquette. Hearing this, he bowed slightly to Mrs. Liu, turned around, went back to his room, and closed the door.
Mrs. Liu breathed a sigh of relief and was about to turn around and go back to the east room. When she glanced at her, she found that her younger siblings were looking in this direction at the door of the main room.
"Second younger brother and sister, you are also the daughter of a scholar family after all. You have been in our Liu family for more than ten years. Why can't you get rid of this habit of eavesdropping on others?" Mrs. Liu was angry. asked.
Mrs. Liu Er, who was at the door, stood up from outside with a playful smile, "Sister-in-law, you are serious, I don't call it probing, I call it understanding."
"Although my father is a scholar, he is also a person who reads books from sages. Don't interrupt others easily when they are talking. It is polite to wait quietly until they have finished speaking."
"I think you are just looking around!" Said again.
Mrs. Liu Er was still not annoyed, and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, why do you care so much about me standing at the door? Could it be that what you said to Zichuan was shameful? So you were afraid that I would hear just a few words. Is it detrimental to your dignified image, sister-in-law?" "What nonsense are you talking about?" Mrs. Liu shouted coldly.
"Oh, since the content of your chat is so revealing, why are you so afraid of me appearing here? Or has someone done something shady?" When Mrs. Liu Er said this, her eyes deliberately went to Liu Doukou's room. He glanced at it and smiled meaningfully.
Mrs. Liu wished she could rush up and tear her sister-in-law’s mouth out.
The Liu family has never been divided. As the eldest sister-in-law, she naturally has to take care of the house.
But ever since this sister-in-law came into the house more than ten years ago, she licked her parents-in-law comfortably with her mouth. The second brother also doted on her. Although she didn’t care about the family, in the Liu family, this second sister-in-law was the most pampered. .
She has never been short of food and clothing. As a sister-in-law, she still holds the power of the housekeeper, so she has to figure out what to buy for herself.
But what about her? You can buy whatever you want. You really don’t know how expensive firewood and rice are when you’re not a homeowner.
If she rejects her request to buy something, she will complain to her parents-in-law in tears. The whole family will feel that she, the elder sister-in-law, is using her power as the housekeeper to harsh her sister-in-law.
I really have a grievance with nowhere to complain!
I gave birth to a son and a daughter. The son failed to live up to expectations and could not study well. He had to stay at home and inherited his father's business and learned to do business. His daughter-in-law's family is also a merchant.
As for the younger sister-in-law, she also gave birth to a son and a daughter. The son was determined to be a scholar and became the focus of the Liu family's training.
Therefore, in the Liu family, the second bedroom has a better future than the larger one.
However, since Daukou and Zichuan got engaged, Dafang has quickly turned around.
With Zichuan as your son-in-law, the son-in-law is the son-in-law. In addition, he is also a nephew, and the more kisses, the bigger the house will follow the tide. Naturally, if there are any benefits, he will take care of them first. The eldest brother's brother, not the second cousin.
So the second wife has always been very jealous. I guess my sister-in-law wants this marriage to go wrong in her dreams, right? Don't let her see the joke!
"You must have evidence for what you say. It is simply unreasonable for you to talk like crazy!" Mrs. Liu rolled down her sleeves.
"Doujiao misses her aunt and is sick with worry. She just took medicine and lay down. If you have half the consciousness of being an elder, go back to your own guest room and settle down. Don't make any noise!" she said again.
Mrs. Liu Er's eyes rolled around, but she still smiled kindly: "This child Doujiao is really filial. My poor sister died early. Otherwise, it would be great to have such a filial and considerate person. My daughter-in-law is taking care of me. It’s such a magical day. Oh, what a pity...”
“Okay, okay, go back to the house quickly!” Mrs. Liu waved her hands impatiently and turned around to go back to the east room. .
Mrs. Liu Er also returned to the guest room.
"Second Madam, I will serve you to wash your feet and rest."
The maid brought a basin and knelt down in front of the second lady to serve her.
The second lady was motionless, with her palm dragging her chin and her eyes not moving.
"Second Madam..."
"There is something fishy, there is definitely something fishy!" The Second Madam said suddenly.
The maid was stunned for a moment, "Second Madam, what is so fishy?"
