Chapter 746 Tragedy
Zhu Qingtong settled down at Liao's house. Mrs. Liao had a companion, and people became quieter. Mr. Liao and his wife also breathed a sigh of relief.
In the past few years, I don’t know whether it’s because she’s getting older or because the status of the Liao family has risen in the capital. The old lady has also had more things to do. Without her former kindness and kindness, she has become confused about how to make the Liao family even better. Things to carry forward have gone up.
It is a gift from God that the Liao family has reached this point. How can they carry forward the family? Is it possible that they still want to ask the emperor for a Dukedom of Bohou Kingdom?
Mr. Liao had never thought about titles, and he did not dare to think that those who could be ennobled by the emperor were those who had made great contributions to the country and the country, just like the Chu family and his son.
And he is a civil servant, just a cabinet elder. When the emperor needs it, he can give him advice and suggestions. This is his merit.
As for his great achievements that day, he was self-aware, but he did not have that blessing.
I have never daydreamed.
Therefore, Mr. Liao was very worried about Mrs. Liao's behavior in the past few years, but he was always used to being filial and filial, and it was hard for him to say anything to her. This time, he was anxious, so he said a few more words to her. , but after returning, he immediately regretted it, thinking that he was unfilial and sorry for the upbringing and education that my mother had given me over the years.
Now, seeing that my mother has calmed down, for the first time Mr. Liao didn't say anything about taking his granddaughter home who was still in mourning.
Then, Mr. Liao did not expect that a few months later, because of his granddaughter, the Liao family would be in trouble again.
……
After the Liao family settled down, something happened to the Xia family.
In the middle of the night, Mrs. Xia woke up because she had to urinate urgently.
There was a maid keeping vigil in her room, and she fell asleep on the footrest in front of her bed. She gritted her teeth and shook the bell on the bedside. The maid was sleeping deeply and did not wake up. She had to urinate urgently, and she couldn't wake the maid up. I just wanted to get up and go to the toilet by myself, but the result was tragic.
Fell out of bed.
The hand bones that were just a little bit broken were cracked again.
One tooth was knocked out.
The waist is also twisted.
In the middle of the night, everyone in the Xia family was startled and woke up. They sent people overnight to ask for a doctor to set the bones and bandage them again.
As for the maid who was sleeping heavily, the Xia family eldest man was so angry that he ordered the housekeeper to sell her off the next day because of her poor care.
Old Mrs. Xia had accidents one after another. The eldest Mrs. Liu complained to Mr. Xia that Mrs. Xia's horoscope was not suitable for the capital. Otherwise, Old Mrs. Broken.
Dasheng people have always believed in the theory of ghosts and gods. After hearing this, Mr. Xia kept this matter in his stomach. After Mrs. Xia recovered from her illness, he planned to send the old lady back to Jiangning City.
The old lady didn't want to go back to Jiangning City, so she just wanted to stay in the capital, but she couldn't tell her. Her back injury, hand injury, and mouth injury hadn't healed yet, so she had no choice but to leave everything up to the Xia family's eldest brother.
Mr. Xia also specially asked for a month's leave and personally sent Mrs. Xia back with Mrs. Liu. Xia Shiming and Mrs. Xia Er also arrived at the city gate.
As soon as Mrs. Xia left, the couple breathed a sigh of relief, as if a big stone on their chests had been suddenly removed, feeling much more relaxed.
Xia Shiming said, "These days, in order to serve the old lady, we haven't gone to Prince Anjun's Mansion to see Yuniang. I think, tomorrow, we will go to Prince Anjun's Mansion to see Yuniang. You can make some snacks and we will take them with you." Go.”
Mrs. Xia Er readily agreed, "The princess loves to eat sweet-scented osmanthus cakes, so I will make a box of sweet-scented osmanthus cakes to take away, and some sesame candies. I heard that pregnant women who eat more sesame candies will have black and beautiful hair when their children are born." Ever since Xia Shiming fell in love with Mrs. Xia, he never called her mother again, only the old lady.
Mrs. Xia Er also followed her husband when she married, and they all called her "Old Lady".
After the couple returned to the city, they immediately went to the market to buy materials. They also went to the dried fruit shop, bought several kilograms of preserved fruit pulp, and packed several boxes.
After returning home, she gave Aunt Zhang a box of preserved fruit pulp to eat. Mrs. Xia Er kept a box for herself and put another box in Xia Shiming's study for him to eat when he was tired and hungry. The remaining box was , just take it to Xia Zihan tomorrow.
……
Shui Furong was taken away by Long Yi for nearly a month, and there was no news. Zhuo, who was not worried at first, began to worry as time went by.
On the Kang in the flower hall, Mrs. Zhuo was knitting an auspicious cloud knot on her hand. She was knitting it for Chu Xuanyu who was about to come back. However, she was thinking about the water lotus and didn't put her mind on it, so she knitted it wrong several times.
After compiling and dismantling, Zhuo threw the things on the table angrily and said, "Ayu, tell me, where did Long Yi take your aunt? He will not hurt you." Auntie, are you and Aqi really sure that Long Yi still loves your aunt?”
"At that time, my aunt fell in mid-air. Long Yi's look of panic and fear was not deceiving. Mom, don't worry, Long Yi must still like my aunt."
Otherwise, nineteen years later, Long Yi would be able to recognize Shui Fu Rong at a glance. Shui Fu Rong would run away as soon as she heard his voice, but he would stop her from leaving.
If you don't love her deeply, why would you do that series of actions?
Hearing this, Mrs. Zhuo felt a little calmer again and muttered, "Why haven't there been any news for so long? It's really worrying."
Xia Zihan advised, "The two of us have been separated for nearly twenty years and finally meet each other. We must have a lot to say. Mom, don't worry about your aunt."
Then, he changed the subject and said, "Didn't I say that my grandpa's family will arrive in the next two days? Mom, are the guest rooms prepared for them ready? Is there any shortage of people to serve them? Otherwise, let Chu Lin send How many people are coming?”
The maternal grandfather's house she was talking about was Zhuo's adoptive father's house.
Zhuo received a letter a few days ago, saying that people from the Zhuo family would arrive in the next two days.
At the mention of her mother's family, Mrs. Zhuo's face lit up with a smile, "We'll be there tomorrow afternoon. It's not convenient for you to go with such a big belly. Mother, Aqi, and the second and third children will go outside the city to meet you."
Then, remembering that there were not many maids at home, he said, "There are not enough maids. I originally wanted to send the steward to the dental shop to buy a few. If Chu Lin has suitable ones, let her bring ten first." Little maid, come and take a look.”
Mrs. Zhuo knew that Xia Zihan didn't like having too many strangers in the family, especially maids and women. If he couldn't buy one, he would buy someone else's spy.
Therefore, a powerful family like Anjun Prince's Mansion will not randomly add maids and wives when it is not necessary.
"The people on her hands are all idle. Bring a few more. There are so many people coming from my grandfather's side, so there won't be enough manpower for a while." Xia Zihan said.
Mrs. Zhuo thought for a while, "Yes, then bring twenty."
