Chapter 733 Fear
The two girls had no choice but to meet the emperor by chance from time to time when the queen was not paying attention.
The emperor is dedicated to governing the country and is not a person who indulges in beauty. However, there is no reason for him to spit out the fat that is offered to him.
In this way, the two girls slept with the emperor secretly, and unexpectedly won the emperor's favor. In a month, they were the two who summoned the emperor most often.
When the queen found out, she was so angry that she smashed the stove in her hand and almost burned herself.
One day, when the concubines came to pay their respects to her, her two sisters deliberately came a little late because of the emperor's excessive love for them. The queen found an excuse, saying that they were disrespectful to her and deliberately treated her slowly, and ordered her to be beaten. Two people got twenty big boards.
From then on, the three sisters fought to the death in the harem. Especially after the two sisters gave birth to sons to the emperor and were unwilling to adopt the name of the queen, the fight between the three became more intense. .
Of course, this is all for later, let’s not mention it for now.
……
At the end of the first month, Xia Shiming, who was about to take leave, returned to Beijing with his wife and children.
During the ancestor worship on the first day of the new year, Mr. Xia took the final decision and promoted Aunt Guo from concubine to wife. She became Xia Shiming's third wife as she wished, and Xia Ziye also became Xia Shiming's third legitimate son.
After returning to Beijing, Aunt Guo knelt down and kowtowed respectfully, called "Mother" and served tea to Mrs. Xia.
Old Mrs. Xia stared at her as if she were glaring at her father's enemy, her eyes could spit out fire.
With a wave of her hand, she swung the teacup to the ground and broke into several pieces.
The crisp sound was particularly loud in the quiet lobby.
Aunt Guo, oh, no, she should be called Mrs. Xia Er. She looked embarrassed and angry, her face turned red and tears flowed out.
Xia Shiming looked at his wronged wife, and then at his wife, who had been suffering from illness for a month and had lost weight due to her obesity.
He wanted to say a few nice words to his wife, but when he saw the skinny old woman, he felt guilty and heartbroken. He had something to say but was too clumsy to say it out.
But if he wants to say a nice word to my mother, he really can't say it. She has already bullied his wife enough. If he is saying a few words to her, will her wife still have to work?
The example of his first wife, Chu Jiahui, being tortured to death by his mother is still in front of him. Does he still need to help his mother torture Guo to death?
No, absolutely not.
He couldn't let Guo take Chu Jiahui's route.
At the beginning, he just believed that a daughter-in-law should be filial to her mother-in-law, and it was right for her mother-in-law to tease her daughter-in-law no matter how hard she tried. That's why he turned a blind eye to my mother-in-law's teasing Chu Jiahui. Unexpectedly, As a result, Chu Jiahui's life was lost.
He, the husband, is half responsible for Chu Jiahui's death.
He missed once before, and now, he can't make a mistake again.
He has already killed one woman and cannot kill another woman.
Xia Shiming gritted his teeth and knelt in front of Mrs. Xia together with Mrs. Guo, the second wife of Xia. Seeing that the tea had been beaten, he calmly ordered the maid, "Pour another cup of tea." The maid was so frightened that she hurriedly I ordered a cup of tea and handed it to the second wife, Guo.
"Mom, my daughter-in-law will serve you some tea." The second wife, Mrs. Guo, called her again and served tea to her.
Old Mrs. Xia was so hateful that she stared at the two of them with poisoned eyes. She said nothing and refused to take the tea. She even wanted to knock the tea cup away. However, this time, the second Mrs. was clever and when she waved her hand over, The second wife quickly retracted her hand, and Mrs. Xia waved it away. She almost threw the person because she was too strong.
Seeing this, the maid next to Mrs. Wait until you are thirsty, and the slave will give it to the old lady to drink.”
It was a step down for the second wife and Xia Shiming.
The second wife, Mrs. Guo, smiled and nodded to the maid, expressing her gratitude.
The eldest maid quickly helped her up again, "The people have shouted, and the tea has been served. The second wife and the master should get up quickly. The old lady has a wound in her mouth and can't speak. However, this slave knows that the old lady She loves the second master the most, and the old lady is not willing to let the second master suffer even a little bit.”
The wound in Old Mrs. Xia's mouth has not healed, but it is much better than it was on New Year's Eve. Now she can eat some liquid food, but she can't eat hard food. In short, she is hanging on to her life to keep her from starving to death. Speechless.
The reason why she is so good is thanks to Dr. Bai.
During the Chinese New Year, Mrs. Xia didn't eat for three days and she was dying. The eldest man of the Xia family couldn't help it, so he went to Chu's house to beg Mrs. Chu, and then to Doctor Bai, who prescribed the medicine. Son, the blood bubble in Old Mrs. Xia's mouth has only gone down halfway.
However, Doctor Bai said that if you think clearly, you can't just take medicinal soup. You also have to prevent yourself from getting angry. Once you get angry, the condition will be serious.
It means, don't curse people or lose your temper. Once you curse someone or lose your temper, the disease will get worse and even he won't be able to cure it.
Old Mrs. Xia was afraid. She didn't dare to lose her temper casually anymore. She was afraid that she would be unable to eat or speak like this for the rest of her life.
In the first month of the year, she did become more honest for a while, stopped losing her temper, and drank medicinal soup and liquid food.
But today, when she saw Xia Shiming's rosy face coming back with his daughter-in-law who had been straightened up by Mrs. Xia, Mrs. Xia felt a fire coming out of her stomach, burning all her sanity.
At this time, Doctor Bai's instructions had long been forgotten by her. She just wanted to scold Mrs. Xia Er and Xia Shiming. If she didn't scold, the fire in her stomach would never come out. , which made her feel uncomfortable.
But her throat was hurt and she couldn't speak. The fire was flying around her body, making her very uncomfortable.
Just when she was feeling uncomfortable, she saw that a slut dared to step in for her, take the tea, and help the slut get up. She became even more furious and extremely angry.
She glared at the maid fiercely, pointed at the ground, and told the maid to kneel down.
The maid rolled her eyes and smiled, "Oh, the old lady feels sorry for the second wife. She said that the second wife traveled a long distance and came to visit her when she came back. She must be very tired. I asked my slave to take the second wife back to rest."
"Second Master, Second Madam, the old lady's illness has improved a lot. In the past few days, she has been able to eat a bowl of porridge for every meal. Don't worry, you two. You are also tired along the way. I will follow the old lady's instructions." I mean, I want to send the second master and his wife back to rest.”
The maid deliberately distorted the old lady's meaning. The angry old lady stood up and was about to pounce on her, but the two old ladies next to her held her down in time and sat her secretly on a chair, unable to move.
