Chapter 381 The Cannon Fodder of the General’s House (3)
Fortunately, Jiang Lai didn't complain any more and silently accepted it.
After clarifying the plot and tasks, Jiang Lai fell back into a long sleep, and was finally woken up by being patted.
When she opened her eyes, Mrs. Zhao's face was right in front of her. She had an oval face, Liu Yemei, and a pair of long, almond-shaped eyes. She was a rare beautiful woman who looked very similar to the heroine. If you think about it that way, you would find that the two of them are more and more beautiful. They look more and more like mother and daughter.
It's a pity that the people in the Hou Mansion are not smart and no one saw it.
"You still have the nerve to sleep here! The whole family is so worried that they can't eat because of you. It's a good thing for you! I wish I could die!"
Mrs. Zhao was a coquettish concubine in front of Mr. Hou, a humble and transparent person in front of Mrs. Hou, but in front of Jiang Lai, she became a mean and bitter mother.
Jiang Lai's mind was already dizzy. After being scolded like this, she frowned, sighed, looked at the woman in front of her, and said something hoarsely.
"The whole family is worried and can't eat? That's just right. I'm hungry too. Please arrange something for me."
Last night was supposed to be the wedding night. After a busy day, she ran back without even drinking a sip of water. After a high fever all night, her chest was pressed to her belly with hunger, and her chest was still a little tight.
Mrs. Zhao frowned and was about to have an attack, but she heard Jiang Lai say something faintly again.
"The general wants Jiang Yu. I am starving to death, so she is the one who has to go. Alas..."
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Zhao immediately calmed down.
The top priority now is to send Jiang Lai back quickly and apologize to the general. Otherwise, if the whole capital knows about it, the Hou Mansion will lose its face, and it will definitely affect Yu'er.
The next second she changed her face, held the handkerchief and started crying, looking at Jiang Lai with worry in her eyes.
"Mom is also worried about you. You said that you, a young girl, ran back to her parents' house on her wedding night. What would they do if others knew about it? You are my only child. If something happens to you, I won't survive!"
One stick and one candy, Mrs. Zhao’s usual method, especially useful to the original owner.
Jiang Lai was not in a hurry to expose her.
"I'm hungry. Ask the chef to prepare some light meals for me. I want to eat stewed venison, squab stewed with ginseng, and..."
"Where did the venison and squab come from? You kid is crazy."
Jiang Lai looked at her with calm eyes.
"Mom, I heard from the window this morning that there was fresh venison and squab in the kitchen, and the aroma wafted over. Such good things must have been prepared for me. After all, I am your daughter. Hurry up. Well, I’m starving.”
Mrs. Zhao gritted her teeth silently as she listened.
Why is this damn girl’s ears so good? She actually listened to what she had just told her servants outside the window.
There was indeed venison and squab in the kitchen, but she had paid someone to buy them from outside with difficulty, just to replenish her own daughter's health!
"There is indeed a kitchen, but it is prepared for your sister. Your sister has been thinking very hard about the affairs of the Hou Mansion these days. She was busy preparing for you yesterday when you got married, and she was exhausted.
You are about to go to the General's Mansion to live a good life. You will definitely need as much of these good things as you want. I'll ask the kitchen to make some porridge for you. You can go back as soon as you finish. ”
Mrs. Zhao couldn't bear to give such a good thing cheaply.
Jiang Lai lay down directly on the bed.
"Mom, your biological daughter has been in the rain all night and is now too sick to get out of bed, but you only care about Mrs. Hou's pampered daughter. There is no such reason in the world. Mom, since your sister is so powerful, let her deal with the general. I can’t go.”
"Jiang Lai! How can you be so ignorant! You are so unreasonable just for a bite to eat!"
Jiang Lai raised his eyes and glanced at her coldly. Just as he was about to speak, the little maid outside the door came in to report.
"Second Madam, the eldest lady is here. She said she came to see how the second lady is recovering now."
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Zhao stood up quickly and went out to greet her with a smile on her face.
At this time, Jiang Lai looked at Jiang Yu who came in from the outside. She was dressed in a light blue dress, her eyebrows were picturesque and her temperament was quiet, and her figure was as slim and graceful as a blooming orchid. She looked like she was from a wealthy family. The raised eldest lady.
Seeing Jiang Lai, she slowly walked over and sat down.
"How is your health?"
"There is nothing wrong with her. She has been seen by the doctor."
Mrs. Zhao answered directly on behalf of Jiang Lai, fearing that Jiang Lai's nonsense would make Jiang Yu unhappy.
Jiang Yu nodded, with a bit of sadness in her eyes as she looked like she really hadn't had a good rest in the past few days, but compared to Jiang Lai, who was lying in bed and had no color on his face, he looked completely fresh and bright.
"My father was very angry last night. I have been advising you all night. I know that my little sister just made some mistakes out of confusion, but there is no way to make up for it. Now that my father has forgiven you, little sister does not have to worry." br>
"Wrong? What did I do wrong?"
Jiang Lai's tone was cold, and Jiang Yu was a little surprised by the sudden question. In the past, Jiang Lai was obedient and never talked or asked. Why is his attitude so domineering today?
"You are already married but you ran away without permission. I understand that you feel a little aggrieved. I also regret that I should have been the one to marry you in the first place. Otherwise, you wouldn't have to run back with resentment in your heart, and everyone in the Hou Mansion wouldn't have to worry about it. .”
One word of grievance and one word of resentment revealed Jiang Lai's ignorance. It was because she didn't know how to take the overall situation into consideration that the Hou Mansion was also affected.
Mrs. Zhao frowned and was dissatisfied.
I thought Jiang Lai would feel guilty, but she actually said it without changing her expression.
"I'm really not sensible, and I don't think about the overall situation like you, but it's still too late. General Tie will definitely not blame our Marquis Mansion if you remarry, mother, don't you think so?"
"What nonsense are you talking about! Your sister is the legitimate daughter of the Hou family. Do you think everyone will marry just like you?!"
It can be said that Mrs. Zhao was furious. Jiang Lai dared to take advantage of Jiang Yu. She was so ungrateful!
Jiang Yu also frowned.
"Jiang Lai, getting married is not a child's play, how can you just open your mouth and do it? You are now the general's wife, what else are you dissatisfied with?"
"You also know that I am the general's wife now? The general is the first rank, and I am now the first rank's wife. What should you do when you see the first rank's wife?"
Jiang Yu looked surprised at first, then a sneer flashed across her eyes, then she stood up and saluted Jiang Lai.
"Today is different from the past, so I wish my sister to be so majestic every day in the future."
After saying that, Jiang Yu turned around and left. When she opened her sleeves, there was still a faint and elegant fragrance of orchids. She was indeed neither humble nor arrogant, capable of bending and stretching.
Mrs. Zhao looked at Jiang Lai with anger in her eyes. (End of chapter)
