Although Bao Chan didn't know what letter the eldest lady asked her to send that night, it was a fact that the third lady was sent away and it had something to do with the eldest lady.
Now everyone in the backyard is spreading the word that the third lady has no shame. Only she knows that the designer of all this is the eldest lady. Bao Chan can't help but feel his scalp numb and his spine tingling when he listens to the eldest lady's voice. The young lady's words were very attractive, but she still didn't dare to nod easily. She always felt that there was a big conspiracy hidden behind the young lady's smile.
An Xiyue guessed Bao Chan's thoughts, so she smiled gently and said, "You were only instigated by others to betray me. I didn't really want to kill you. I'm calling you now because I hope you can." The merit is not worth it, no matter what, you have served me for several years, and there is no merit but hard work."
Bao Chan's eyes were horrified. Seeing the eldest lady's sincere words and clear eyes, she knew that if she fell into the hands of Aunt Lin, there would be no way for her to survive. But she didn't want to die, so she had to take a gamble: "The eldest lady is really willing to let me go." .”
"Then it depends on your performance. I'm sure this is your only chance." An Xiyue said calmly.
Time passed little by little, and after about half a stick of incense, Bao Chan suddenly raised his head and said, "I am willing, but I only ask the eldest lady to spare my life."
Bao Chan is now under attack from both sides. How can a lowly slave like her defeat her master? She is just a little greedy. If she is given a choice, she would rather save her life first. The eldest lady is kind on the surface, but in fact she is shady and has powerful methods. It's true that the third lady and Aunt Lin are even more cruel and ruthless. Now, she is offended by both parties and just wants to escape far away.
Jiang Shuang looked at Bao Chan. The third lady had murderous intentions for Bao Chan at first. Later, Bao Chan betrayed the eldest lady again and survived. If she had been allowed to escape, Bao Chan could have run farther away and continued anonymously. Life, but Bao Chan was reluctant to part with her jewelry, and was stopped by the eldest lady again.
An Xiyue arranged everything and went to the old lady's room.
Lin Wan had a face that seduced men, which fascinated her father. Later, she adopted Zi Su as her aunt. Although the old lady couldn't see her, her son liked her, and she couldn't refute her son's face. At that time, Aunt Lin had a pregnant belly. Entering the mansion already aroused the old lady's disgust. But who said that Aunt Lin came from the Prime Minister's Mansion? No matter how much the old lady hated her, she still wanted to give some face to the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Time flies by quickly, and it’s New Year’s Eve in a blink of an eye. On such a grand day, every household is very lively, and An Mansion also hangs up a lantern early.
Wearing new clothes to welcome the New Year, hanging high red lanterns, it’s so lively and festive.
At this time, all the young and old in the An mansion had put on new clothes and skirts. The eldest lady had early arranged for the servants in the mansion to prepare dinner to worship the ancestors. She was so busy that she was dizzy. The households in the An mansion had to spend the New Year together. In previous years, Aunt Lin made the overall arrangements, and the Second Madam and the Third Madam also helped.
In previous years, the Second Madam and the Third Madam were not very happy to have an aunt in the main room tell them what to do, but Lin Wan knew how to be a good person. Every time she made arrangements for purchases and other matters, she would allocate more money to them, and the new clothes would be made of the best quality. .
This year, everyone made new clothes, and they were made to fit according to the size. They also picked their favorite styles and colors.
But what they were dissatisfied with was that the eldest family was richer than them, and the second and third bedrooms were not as good as the eldest family. In addition, the eldest wife's dowry was very generous, and she was the daughter of an imperial physician. Although the imperial physician was a civil servant, he walked around the palace all year round. , her medical skills are very high, and any object she gets as a gift from a noble person is also a fine item. Imperial Physician Mei only has a daughter, Mei Yunluo, so all the good things belong to her alone. The second and third bedrooms are also jealous when they see the eldest lady's dowry, but They didn't dare to be openly dissatisfied. It was someone else's thing, so they hoped that the eldest lady would be kind and give their daughters one or two as New Year's gifts during the holidays.
This year, the Second Madam and the Third Madam started fawning over each other again and were very busy following the Eldest Madam.
The granddaughters and grandsons of several families came to Ruixueyuan to pay their respects to the old lady.
In previous years, the old lady was generous, and no matter whether she was a concubine or a daughter-in-law, she would always get good luck from her. However, this year, the old lady looked sick and looked very bad. She even vomited out everything she ate.
Seeing that the old lady looked gloomy and not looking well, everyone stepped forward to express their concern.
Soon, the news that the old lady was seriously ill spread throughout the Anping Hou Mansion and also reached the ears of Aunt Lin.
It was Chinese New Year, but the old lady was ill. An Yuming, An Yuze and An Yuxiao also put down their work and ran around to greet each other.
After the eldest lady, second lady and third lady heard that the old lady was ill, they also rushed to the backyard. It was originally a joyful New Year, but because the old lady suddenly became seriously ill, the whole family became very solemn.
Mother Liu was so anxious that her eyes were full of anxiety. "The old lady has been recovering for the past few days, but her health has not improved, but has become worse. These days, the old lady has been haunted by nightmares, and she has eaten less. She is very anxious." "
Because it was Chinese New Year, it was hard to find a doctor. Doctor Yang, who usually consulted the old lady, also returned to his hometown.
An Xiyue then offered to diagnose the old lady's pulse. Everyone was skeptical, but they also knew how powerful the eldest lady was and they didn't dare to slander her.
An Yuxiao knew that her eldest daughter usually read some medical books, so she only put her hope in her.
An Xiyue was seen sitting on a low stool, her hands on the old lady's pulse, her expression extremely serious and focused.
For a moment, An Xiyue frowned slightly and said with self-blame in her eyes: "Father, my daughter can't find out the cause of her grandmother's illness. It's all because of her poor academic skills."
An Yuxiao shook her head. Her eldest daughter was only fifteen years old. "You have only read some medical books. I can't blame you."
I saw the old lady lying on the bed, her face looked very haggard, and her voice was very weak, "Don't bother me, Xiao'er. People are no longer useful when they are old. These days, I always dream about your father. He is probably too lonely." He wants me to go down and accompany him. Mom is old and it’s time to go..."
Everyone wiped their tears when they heard the old lady say so sadly, "Grandma is so lucky and blessed that nothing will happen to her."
An Yuxiao stepped forward and scolded: "Mother, what nonsense are you talking about? Mother will live a long life."
Several sons of Anfu came forward to comfort him. How could this man, who was celebrating the Chinese New Year, get sick so easily and suddenly become so seriously ill?
At this moment, Aunt Lin also wiped away her tears and said softly: "I feel sorry for you when I see that the old lady has been tortured to a terrible state. It's just that the old lady is so good, how can she become ill?"
