"You silly child, your mother is just like you."
Mrs. Hou sighed.
At present, she feels very satisfied with her eldest daughter's performance. She may not like this eldest daughter, but the eldest daughter must respect her and respect her.
So sometimes when people's hearts are biased, they are biased. No matter how well Lianyi does, they can't reverse it. Lianyi doesn't care about this at all, but she doesn't want to suffer in the Hou Mansion, so she cooperates with the other party to perform a show It's just a drama about a loving mother and a filial daughter.
When Lianyi walked in front of Mrs. Hou, she was even more satisfied when she saw Lianyi's charming face. With such an appearance, she would definitely be able to win over Lin Yaozu's heart.
Mrs. Hou took Lian Ripple's hand and rubbed it, then waved her hand to make all the maids around her retreat, leaving only Aunt Yao and Aunt Sun. After letting her daughter sit next to her, she held the handkerchief and said: < br>
"Lianyi, do you blame your mother for not visiting you and sending you to live in Zhuangzi?"
Lianyi pursed her lips and showed her sadness at the right time. But he still replied in a low voice:
"My mother must have had no choice but to do this. Besides, although I lived a poor life in Zhuangzi, I was not short of food and clothing. Without my mother's care, those who The servants who are looking for food have already climbed on my head."
"Hey! Ripple, you are a smart child. Your mother does have some difficulties. It started when you were born."
Then Mrs. Hou used the theory that twins are unlucky and gave a reasonable explanation for what she did.
“You are my flesh and blood, how could I bear to let you bear an ominous name, so I arranged for you to live in Zhuangzi, hoping to bring you back when you grow up.
< br>You are already eighteen years old, a sensible girl, and can understand your mother's difficulties, so this time I took you back while the Marquis was out on business, and I will find you a wife after the Marquis comes back. It's a marriage, and I can rest assured when I see you get married and have children."
Mrs. Hou said it sincerely. If she hadn't been the person responsible for the task, she would have truly believed what she said.
“Thank you, mother, for worrying about your daughter. Daughters listen to their mothers.”
"Good boy, you also know that your identity is not easy to expose, so your current identity is the posthumous son of my distant cousin. You are not suitable for marrying into a high family. Don't blame your mother."
Mrs. Hou is here. Taking retreat as an opportunity to advance can be regarded as a kind of test for the eldest daughter.
"No matter what identity I marry, I am my mother's daughter. Naturally, my mother will not treat me badly. I will obey my mother."
Lianyi responded obediently.
“Lianyi, you have been wronged.”
After Mrs. Hou finished speaking, she let go of Ripple's hand and waved her hand to Grandma Yao. Grandma Yao immediately entered the inner room and came back holding a red lacquered wooden box.
"Lianyi, these are some jewelry I wore when I was young. The styles and colors are very fresh. They are no longer suitable for me, an old woman. You can take it back and wear it for fun. After two days, I will Let someone give you some new jewelry.”
“Thank you, mother.”
Ripple smiled and thanked her.
"You rushed all the way back to the house, are you hungry? Mother will accompany you to eat something, and you will go back to Bilanyuan to rest."
"I don't feel hungry even if my mother doesn't tell me. I'm really hungry now."
Ripple smiled sheepishly.
“Just tell me when you are hungry, and mother can still make you hungry.”
Mrs. Hou said angrily, and then waved her hand to let others pass the meal.
The mother and daughter cultivated their relationship for a while, and after Rianyi had eaten her fill, she followed Grandma Sun back to Bilanyuan.
After Lianyi left, Mrs. Hou said to Aunt Yao beside her:
"Yao Zhi (this is Aunt Yao's name), what do you think of Lianyi?"
"He is a He is a good boy, and he respects his wife very much. He is also well-behaved, and he doesn’t see much else for the time being.”
To be honest, Grandma Yao told me this, and it’s good to see so much. "Call Cherry over later."
"Yes, madam."
Xue Lianyi, who was drinking the decoction on the other side, looked gloomy and scary after hearing the maid's report, but she knew that her body was not up to par, and she still needed this eldest sister to help her occupy Lin Yaozu She cannot act rashly now as the head wife.
"Miss, don't be angry, nothing is as important as your good health now."
Xue Lianyi's personal maid Chun Yu immediately advised.
"I know, when mother comes, wake me up."
After saying that, he handed the medicine bowl in his hand to Chunyu.
"Yes, miss, you have a good rest."
Chun Yu helped his miss to lie down, covered her with the quilt, and then left the bedroom quietly.
Half an hour later, Mrs. Hou came to see her beloved little daughter.
“Miss, Madam is here.”
Chun Yu gently woke up Xue Lianyi, helped him sit up, helped him wipe his face with a handkerchief, and then went to welcome Mrs. Hou in.
"Mother, I heard that my sister is here, have you seen her?"
"My dearest darling, why are you sitting up? Don't catch a cold again, it will get worse. What should I do about my condition?"
Mrs. Hou looked at her daughter with dissatisfaction and said.
"Mother!"
Xue Lianyi immediately said coquettishly, anyway, she knew that she was her mother's weakness.
"Okay, why are you in such a hurry? I have already met your sister, but it is not suitable for you to meet her now. I will arrange for you to meet again after a while."
"Mother, you haven't told your eldest sister about asking her to marry for me, have you?"
"This matter is not urgent. I will first find a few marriage partners with average conditions, and then I will arrange the marriage with Shangshu Mansion. Tell her about the marriage, I believe she will know how to choose. "
Mrs. Hou is scheming and has already made a plan after meeting her eldest daughter.
"Mother, I knew you were the best to me."
After hearing Mrs. Hou's words, Xue Lianyi was really relieved, but she was afraid that her mother would take advantage of her and abandon her directly.
"Okay, you should take good care of your health first. I will plan your marriage, so the position of the Lin family's head wife can only be yours."
Mrs. Hou said firmly, then lovingly She touched her little daughter's pale face. Fortunately, she had left behind the disaster star, otherwise there wouldn't even be anyone to protect her little daughter from the disaster.
After Ripple on the other side returned to Bilanyuan, she pretended to be tired and asked the little maid to help her remove her headdress, then went to bed to rest.
She didn't ask about Cherry's whereabouts. She must have been reporting to Mrs. Hou about the situation of her eldest daughter.
The original name has been Xue Lianyi since she was a child, which is the same name as the youngest daughter raised in the mansion. This is also to prevent disasters, otherwise the eldest daughter would not be able to get such a nice name.
After sleeping until dark, Ripple got up. At this time, Tao Tao had already changed her clothes and treated herself as Ripple's personal maid. She served Ripple diligently when she got up, and then passed on the dinner.
"Cherry, why were you not here when I went to see the madam? I was still thinking of taking you to see the madam!"
Lianyi said casually while eating the bird's nest porridge in the bowl. .
"I was tripped by someone. It must be that my dressing was not in line with the rules. They forced me to wash and change clothes, which wasted time, so I couldn't stay with the lady."
