Chapter 75
"The old lady is sick."
Pingye said this sullenly.
Taoye sighed: "Don't be angry."
When such a big thing happens, the Wuding Hou Mansion will not end well. What else can the old lady do other than pretending to be sick and using the word "filial piety" to suppress their wife?
Pingye said unwillingly: "You are just bullying our wife for her good health!"
Lin Yunwan lay down on the bed and closed her eyes.
Taoye asked: "Madam, are you not going to see the old lady?"
Lin Yunwan said calmly: "The word has spread that I am also sick." This trick of pretending to be sick may be useful to Lu Zhengliu, but what use can it have to her?
Pingye smiled and said: "My slave, go and twist the veil right now!"
Afraid that she was smiling too obviously, she covered her mouth with her hand. When she couldn't hold back her laughter, she went out to fetch water and twist Lin Yunwan's handkerchief.
I ran back and forth in the yard several times, crying, and said to everyone I met: "Madam is sick. She usually has a lot of gas in her stomach. This time she is so sick that I don't know if she will survive!"
Taoye's eyes also turned red, and everyone panicked when they saw the appearance of Madam's two personal maids.
"It's terrible, the lady is sick!"
"What should we do? Who will take care of the affairs of the house from now on?"
Wei was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot and had to stand up.
She went to the meeting hall and said to the mothers in charge: "From now on, at the end of the day, we will all come over and discuss any big or small matters."
A mother muttered: "Chenshi? Then we'll have to have lunch after the discussion is over."
Wei frowned and asked, "What time does your grandma usually come over?"
Mother Yuan said: "Go back to my wife, grandma will be here at the end of the afternoon at the latest." However, this has not been the case in the past six months, but the rules were well established in the past, so even if she came a little late, she would not delay the affairs of the house.
Mrs. Wei wiped her forehead and said, "...it won't be so early."
She can't get up!
She said: "I still have to take care of the old lady and the Marquis, so I don't have much time. Just come here at the time I told you."
After setting a time and sorting out a few things in a daze, she was in a state of panic.
Fortunately, there were always rules in everything in the house in the past seven years. Lin Yunwan was just sick but not dead, so there was no chaos.
"Amitabha, this is really embarrassing for me!"
As if Wei was running away, she went to Chuisi Hall to find Lin Yunwan. On the one hand, she wanted to persuade her and comfort her, but on the other hand, she was worried about her illness.
Or the girl reminded her: "Madam, should you go see the old lady first?"
Only then did Wei realize that she had really messed up the rules.
Of course, you have to serve the old lady first before you can see your daughter-in-law.
She turned back to the Shouting Hall, and the maid whispered to her: "Grandma is very ill, and she says she doesn't see anyone. Mother Yan couldn't go in either. Madam, it's okay if you don't go."
Mrs. Wei actually wanted to go, but she heard that Yan’s mother had been rejected, so she decided not to go for the time being.
If the advice fails and the old lady blames her, she will be the biggest sinner in the house.
But she didn't just sit back and watch.
"Is that bitch Aunt Ge under house arrest?"
The girl said: "I found someone to look after me and locked me in Yuxing Pavilion. I didn't give him food or drink. I gave him water when he was about to die."
Mrs. Wei nodded: "Well, the prince's order is absolutely right!"
That bitch should be so hungry and thirsty.
Zhuqing thought so too. She ran over to supervise to see if anyone dared to give Ge Baoer water.
She told Tong Liu: "This Aunt Ge has such a big idea! I don't think even a knife from the sky can kill her. Since she is under my nose, I can't let her have an easy time."
Zhuqing stood outside the door of Ge Baoer's room and said to the wives in a cold voice: "If I see anyone who dares to give her a sip of water, don't blame me for telling the prince, I will beat him to death!"
The mothers-in-law were trembling and said to Zhuqing, "Don't worry, Auntie, we will take good care of Auntie Ge."
There is no thought of receiving benefits at all.
Ge Baoer had been hungry all day and night. He was trembling with anger while listening to Zhu Qing talking inside.
"Qing'er... Qing'er..."
Her son.
Sure enough, he had her as a mother in his heart. Just because of this, Lu Zhengliu would not really let her die.
She just had to get through it, and when her son was registered in her name, the two of them would be reunited.
"How about being a bastard? A bastard is also my son."
The two of them rely on each other for life, are they still afraid that they will not be able to stand on their own feet?
Zhu Qing finished her attack and changed into plain clothes to visit Lin Yunwan.
"Madam is nowhere to be seen."
Pingye stopped the person.
Zhuqing cried sadly: "Girl, please do me a favor and let me serve you in front of my wife!"
Pingye wouldn't let her in, and Zhuqing cried loudly.
Taoye said from inside: "Let my aunt come in."
As soon as Zhu Qing entered, he saw Lin Yunwan with a normal face and breathed a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, Madam is not really sick. I was worried that you were really sick!"
Lin Yunwan sat up and said, "Did you come on your own?"
Zhuqing said: "Of course."
She briefly talked about the changes in the mansion, and finally asked tentatively: "Madam, do you really want to leave the mansion?"
She was afraid that Lin Yunwan would be suspicious, so she quickly explained: "I am following Madam wholeheartedly. Whether Madam can leave or not, I just want to know for sure. Madam, don't worry, I won't tell anyone."
Lin Yunwan closed her eyes.
She said: "Let's wait until our Lin clan grows old and we can talk about it."
Zhuqing stopped talking. She felt reluctant to let her go, but she didn't want to trip her up either.
Even though her words may not matter in Madam's eyes.
Knowing that Lin Yunwan was in a bad mood, she complained jokingly: "I and you are a grasshopper on the same rope! Madam already knew that Master Qing was her son, so she didn't tell me."
"Perhaps I can still serve Madam."
Lin Yunwan smiled and said: "You pushed her head into the water several times, and it didn't count as effective?"
Zhuqing gritted his teeth and said, "That's not the case. It's just asking her to repay my debt to Buzitang!"
What a vengeful person.
Lin Yunwan suddenly asked: "How is Longbow? Have you been to the backyard?"
Zhu Qing was very attentive and had inquired about everything, including Lu Changgong.
She shook her head and said, "Young Master has never been to the backyard, and is studying in the front yard."
She was afraid that Lin Yunwan would be sad, so she said: "It's not that Young Master Changgong doesn't want to see you. You said that you won't see anyone behind closed doors. Young Master is thin-skinned. Unlike me, who is of low status, he can just beg for it shamelessly."
"When you are willing to open the courtyard door, Master Changgong will be here."
Lin Yunwan didn't mention Lu Changgong again.
Zhu Qing saw Lin Yunwan, felt confident, and went back not long after.
After dark, the second door was about to be locked. Just as the mother-in-law was about to lock the door, a dark figure ran over: "Wait a minute."
The mother-in-law took a closer look: "Young Master?"
Lu Changgong said: "I want to go out."
The mother-in-law let him out and said, "Young master, please go out earlier and don't lock yourself in."
The backyard has not yet been arranged for the two young masters. It will be troublesome if there is no place to live.
Lu Changgong didn't know whether he heard it or not, so he returned to the front yard.
He didn't go back to his house, but went to Brother Qing's place, locked the door and beat him.
"Don't you like beating people very much? It feels good to be beaten."
He said calmly and left.
Brother Qing pursed his lips and widened his eyes. He couldn't believe that Lu Changgong, with such a good temper, dared to beat him!
