Chapter 41: Unscrupulous Counterattack

The next morning, Zhu Xiaoyan came to wait outside Mu Entang before dawn. When the woman in charge of guarding the courtyard door saw her, she was so scared that she quickly rubbed her eyes and thought she was wrong.

"Second Lady? Why are you dressed like this?

Zhu Xiaoyan knows how to restrain herself now. Today, she is elegant and looks more shabby than a decent maid.

To a woman, she rarely said pleasantly, "I think I haven't come to greet my ancestors for a long time, and I'm very sorry. So I came here early today. By the way, mom, you don't have to call the old lady. I'm just waiting here.

The woman was secretly shocked and answered this. How dare she really delay? He hurried in and told Chen's mother, and Chen's mother said, "Just ask her to wait outside."

After saying that, he raised the curtain and walked into the inner room. The old lady didn't sleep well at night. In the morning, it was a sweet time to sleep. Mother Chen pretended to be careless and gently took down a bright pheasant in the vase. When the old lady heard the noise, she turned around and sat down and asked with a little anxiety, "Who is there? So early, what's the matter?"

Mother Chen first sued and said, "It was the second lady who came. When I saw her in a hurry and thought that there might be something, I came in to see if you were awake?"

At this time, the old lady was impatient to hear Zhu Xiaoyan's name. In addition, she woke up and got up, so she spit and said, "What do I care about? Let her wait outside! Humph! In the past, I didn't see her come to me so early to set rules. Now I know that I have lost my power and come to me to pretend? Bah, it's blackened her heart!"

Chen's mother was in her arms when she heard this, but she still persuaded: "Yes, but madam, is it because of something happened to the second young master when I saw the second lady in such a hurry? Why don't you send her in and ask a few words later? It's also good for you to rest assured!"

When Chen's mother mentioned her disappointing grandson, the old lady's heart was blocked again. She sighed heavily and said harshly, "Don't mention that disobedient monkey to me! To this point, it really calls me... Alas! If there is a little rumor about such things, the reputation of my Song family will be completely ruined.

Mother Chen thought about it and said, "Although several doctors have said that the second young master's disease is difficult to recover, the world is unpredictable. Maybe Buddha will bless the Bodhisattva's manifestation. In a few years, he will make the second young master himself feel better!"

"Hmm! In a few years? Such a scandal, not to mention a few years later, even after a year and a half, I'm afraid that paper can't wrap the fire! Cough... If it weren't for my beloved grandson who grew up in his arms, I would really..."

As the old lady said, her eyes gradually showed disgust. Chen's mother saw it clearly and said, "Madam, don't worry. You love your children and grandchildren, and I also remember the princes and girls in the house. It's just a pity that the second young master is such a talented person. Alas, otherwise, in another year and a half, it's time to make a marriage with Ningfu.

The old lady was reminded and asked, "Ningfu? Was it the house that was going to give their three girls to Siwen?

"Yes, old lady, this Ningfu had close contact with the second lady at that time. I heard that except for no apparent effort, the rest had been agreed! Promise the three girls of their family to our second young master, this marriage is also a match..."

"What does it match? Are you really confused? Now Siwen has become like this. It can't be said that the powerful Ningfu is the daughter of a leisurely people's family, which certainly can't be relied on!"

After saying that, the old lady ordered, "Forget it, I got up too. Go ahead and ask someone to come in and wash and change my clothes. After asking Zhu Xiaoyan to stand outside for a while, he asked him to come in and reply.

"Yes, madam."

Zhu Xiaoyan stood in the yard looking forward to it for a long time. Even her legs were sore and numb. Seeing the sun rising higher and higher, she finally waited for someone to call her in.

Who knows that it's okay not to go in. As soon as she entered the door, the old lady scolded her with a face and nose. After a breath and asked about the marriage with Ningfu, Zhu Xiaoyan's heart thumped, but she did not dare to hide it from the old lady, so she avoided the important things. She only said that she had indeed talked and laughed with Mrs. Ning at the beginning, but it was not true without exchanging tokens.

As I was saying this, I suddenly heard someone lift the curtain and come in and say, "Mrs. Er, Ningfu sent someone to deliver things here. First, it was sent to your Chunhua courtyard. You are not here, so it was sent here."

After saying that, the man also picked up a pile of gift boxes and put them in front of the old lady, which made her angry.

At this time, the old lady didn't care so much. She picked up the gold paint crutch in her hand and picked it over the gift box. Suddenly, the gift box scattered, and a valuable tonic in it was scattered all over the ground.

"Good job, Zhu Xiaoyan! You are so desperate! How dare you lie in front of me? Since you haven't made up your word, why does Ningfu deliver things to you in three days? Humph, you are so bold!"

As the old lady said, the crutch in her hand fell on Zhu Xiaoyan like rain. Zhu Xiaoyan was stunned by the beating and only cared about hiding around with her head in her arms.

She also couldn't figure out why Ningfu sent someone to deliver things at this time? Don't you usually have such a good personal relationship with Mrs. Ning? It's really unlucky to get home!

After playing a show, the old lady stopped and took a break. Then Zhu Xiaoyan knelt there, and he sat down at the round table and began to enjoy a rich breakfast slowly.

It's also strange. Since the old lady recovered from her last illness, her appetite has increased day by day. Chen's mother did what she liked and secretly ordered the people in the kitchen to dig out their minds every day and make some heavy-flavored diet.

The old lady was happy to eat, and the silver reward was not stingy at all. She even praised the kitchen chefs for coming. Now, the cooks are even more happy.

In the morning, in the breakfast delivered to the kitchen, there was a plate of steamed chicken feet with abalone sauce, emerald crystal shrimp dumplings, three-color ghee roasted wheat, and more than a dozen sour and spicy dishes. A whole table of dishes, all of which are full of color, fragrance and taste.

Poor Zhu Xiaoyan got up in the morning to wash her face and went out to show her sincerity. At this time, the abdomen is empty, and the hunger and thirst are unbearable. After smelling the strong fragrance of the food that was served one after another, he swallowed his saliva. However, at this time, the old lady only cared about the rise of her own food. Chen's mother served beside her and praised every dish intentionally or unintentionally. Zhu Xiaoyan smelled the smell and listened to the squeaky sound, and once wanted to go crazy.

Humph! These snbbish ones will definitely make them look good one day! Dead old man!

She lowered her eyes, clenched her hands in her sleeves, clenched her teeth tightly, and couldn't help cursing everyone present.

It was easy to wait for the old lady to have a meal, and someone came in outside. After hearing that it was Aunt Gui who came to greet herself, the old lady ordered Aunt Gui to come in in front of Zhu Xiaoyan. It's tea and snacks. It's so intimate that he only hangs Zhu Xiaoyan over there, which is embarrassing and can't retreat.

After Aunt Gui came in, she sent the food box she brought in her hand and opened it and said, "Ancestor, this is the five-flower wine balls I made in the morning. Come on, you can taste it. Is it okay?"

The old lady ate so much delicious food in one go, and she wanted to use it later. But in front of Zhu Xiaoyan, she wanted to give Aunt Gui special face, so she asked Chen's mother to take it over. Just as she was about to put it into her mouth, she heard a noise outside. It turned out that Song Siwen got Zhu Xiaoyan's report and hurried over.

When Zhu Xiaoyan saw her son coming, she was happy and sour. But when she thought of her glory and wealth, and in the next few decades, she hardened her heart and said to Song Siwen, "Why don't you come and see your ancestors? Your ancestors have loved you so much since you were a child. In these days when you are sick, your ancestors have worried about you a lot. Go and give your ancestors a cup of tea to rinse their mouth. I think the wine balls brought by Aunt Gui smell very fragrant. After a while, you will also ask your ancestors for a bowl to eat. If it's good, I will learn from Aunt Gui later.

Song Siwen has been tossed many maids in his yard these days, but he was shocked to find that he really can't be a man anymore. No matter how beautiful the maid is, he still can't do it**.

The terrible scene of mulberry appearing in front of him that night always appeared in his mind unconsciously. He was afraid that the girl who died in his hands would really come back to ask for his life.

When he thought of this, he was extremely weak. No matter how many tonics he took, he didn't get any better.

Every time he thought of this, he was inexplicably frightened and weak. After receiving his mother's strict order, he also knew that he was going to please his grandmother now. Otherwise, with his father's ruthless style and personality, if his illness could not be cured, then in the future, in order to avoid people's words , I will definitely send myself far away to a village for the rest of my life.

So Song Siwen immediately came forward with a smile and made a cup of tea for the old lady. The old lady coldly looked at the grandson, whom she had loved for more than ten years. After all, she took over the teacup and pointed to the bowl of wine balls in front of her and said, "Isn't it not good yet? Come here so early, but you haven't had breakfast yet?"

"The ancestors felt sorry for their grandchildren. They didn't come to comfort you for many days, so they came here early."

Song Siwen said and sat down beside the old lady. He picked up the bowl of wine-brewed balls and ate more than half of them. As he ate, he said vaguely, "Well, it tastes really good. Mother, you will also..."

"If you think it's good, eat more, alas! You child is really not reassuring..."

The old lady said, turned her head sourly and quietly wiped the corners of her eyes with a hand towel. When Song Siwen didn't finish eating a bowl of balls, he suddenly fell down, which shocked everyone.

"Second young master! What's wrong with you, second young master?

Siwen! My son, don't scare me! Wake up! ....... Ah! What's wrong with this? Why do you bleed when you eat it?"
