Huaizhu had a fever, and in the evening, I saw that she was still asleep, so I went to check and found that she was talking nonsense with a high fever.
Even in my dream, I was crying for my aunt to spare her life.
I felt sorry for her and was worried that she might have a fever, so I asked Uncle Fu to call a doctor to take a look.
But Uncle Fu was busy with Liu Huai'an's concubinage and couldn't get away, so he had to send other women to find the doctor.
I looked at the whole house being busy, putting up window grilles, making couplets, and the maids and women were so busy that they didn’t even touch the floor.
At this moment, an old woman who was over sixty years old walked in from the outside with the help of two maids.
Seeing that the old woman was dressed soberly and elegantly, her white hair was neatly tidied up. The dragon-headed scepter in her hand looked valuable, and there was a priceless luminous pearl in the dragon's mouth.
I wondered if Liu Huai'an had to go to all the trouble of inviting an important guest to have a concubine?
As a result, when Uncle Fu saw her, he quickly stepped forward to help her and said warmly: "The little one is looking forward to the stars and the moon at home, but the old lady is looking forward to her return!"
Listening to Uncle Fu's words, I felt a thump in my heart. Oh no, this person couldn't be an important figure in the prime minister's palace, right?
I carefully recalled the plot in the book, and it turned out that this was Liu Huaian's biological mother, Mrs. Li.
Not long after the original owner got married to Liu Huaian, she took a few maids to travel around the world. Unexpectedly, by coincidence, she would come back on such a special day.
Mrs. Li looked at the busy maids and ladies in the house, and smiled with great satisfaction: "I didn't expect that you slaves would still care about your master. Knowing that I will be back from my wandering today, you deliberately organized a festive event to please me, right? , I’m so touched that you have such a heart.”
Uncle Fu heard this and secretly thought that it was not good and he wanted to betray the gang!
I saw something was wrong with his expression, so I stepped forward and took Ms. Li's hand and said with concern, "Mother-in-law, don't you know? Today is a happy day for the Prime Minister to take a concubine."
Li's face suddenly changed: "Taking a concubine? Huai'an wants to take a concubine? Whose concubine is he taking? Who are you?"
Uncle Fu hurriedly came out, pushed me to Mrs. Li and explained, "This is Madam. Maybe the old Madam has been traveling for too long, and she has even forgotten her daughter-in-law."
Mrs. Li came back to her senses and looked at me with critical eyes: "I recognize you. You are the second girl who is not favored by the Taifu Mansion. Why didn't you inform me about such a big thing as taking a concubine in Huai'an? Which family is the other party? Thousands of gold?”
Seeing how difficult she was to get along with, the words "evil mother-in-law" appeared in my mind for no reason.
After all, I have been here for so long and have never seen my mother-in-law. I thought Liu Huai'an's Gaotang was gone long ago, but I didn't expect that a biological mother would show up halfway.
Interestingly, there is even more fun to watch.
If Mrs. Li knew that Liu Huaianna was marrying the number one courtesan in the capital, she might be so excited!
I pretended to be cowardly and said, "My daughter-in-law said, mother-in-law, please don't be angry."
Uncle Fu didn't dare to speak and had already hid on the edge and pretended to sweep the floor.
Mrs. Li rolled her eyes at me: "You just say it's okay, as long as I don't get angry with you."
I hesitated several times and then said hesitantly: "The Prime Minister is marrying the number one courtesan in the capital today, Miss Shishi."
Sure enough, Mrs. Li was so angry that she almost fainted. Uncle Fu quickly threw away the broom, supported her, and ordered the maids to help her in.
I also helped, dragging Li's heavy dragon-head crutches towards the living room.
While Uncle Fu was massaging and rubbing shoulders, the maid brought strong tea and fed her to her, and Mrs. Li finally woke up leisurely.
She waved her hand, indicating that everyone could disperse.
Finally, he pointed at me and said, "You stay."
Uncle Fu took the maids away.
There were only two of us left in the huge living room, and I resisted the feeling of oppression and stood there, lowering my eyes and saying nothing.
Mrs. Li hated me so much that she gritted her teeth and said, "You, you, you have been married to the prime minister's house for so many years, how do you manage the house? How can you let him do whatever he wants!"
I was aggrieved and knelt down at her feet, complaining with tears in my eyes: "Does my mother-in-law think that I don't want to stop the evil flower from entering the house? The prime minister ignored me and said nothing, and the new aunt treated my girl very badly. She was beaten and scolded, and she is still lying in bed with a high fever. My mother-in-law came back just in time and wants to make decisions for my daughter-in-law and Huaizhu."
Li's eyes widened after hearing this, "That's okay!" You are lawless before you enter the door, and you will feel uneasy at home after you enter!
But she didn't turn to me immediately, and continued to pick and choose me: "It's no wonder that Huaian is not interested in you. At first, you wanted to marry Huaian, and you knew that Huaian didn't have much affection for you.
"Today's bitter consequences are all due to your own fault. What's more, there has been no movement in your stomach for three years since I came here. It's really disappointing."
I lowered my eyes and looked at my slender waist. I thought, as a woman, can you blame me for this? !
It's not like her son spends all his time looking for flowers and willows. Do you want to miss Shu? I began to feel lucky that the original owner did not consummate the marriage with Liu Huai'an. What if he got infected with Liu Huai'an?
Seeing me with tears in my eyes and not speaking, Mrs. Li realized that my tone was a bit harsh. She helped me up and said in a gentle tone: "Forget it, luckily I'm back. Come with me and see which evil flower is so powerful." , actually had the idea of Huai'an."
At the same time, Liu Huai'an came over at Uncle Fu's notice. He knelt on the ground as soon as he entered the door. He held Mrs. Li's hand excitedly and said, "Mom, you are back! Today is my son's big day, and my mother is just right." We can also have a wedding drink.”
At first, Mrs. Li was quite happy to see him, but after hearing what he said, her face fell again. She turned her face away hard and said coldly: "If you dare to marry that vixen today, you will treat me as your own." This mother, I don’t have a son like you either.”
Liu Huaian was dumbfounded after hearing this.
Looking back at me, I understood instantly. I told the old lady what had happened, and she suddenly became furious. She pointed at my nose and cursed: "You jealous woman! Are you talking nonsense in front of my mother again? Look at me. If I don’t fight you today, you’re done!”
Just when Liu Huai'an was about to pounce on me, at the critical moment, Mrs. Li shouted forcefully: "How presumptuous!!!"
The voice was so powerful that it almost shook the beams above his head.
I was also frightened and froze in place, thinking to myself, as expected, this mother-in-law is not a good person.
I saw the right opportunity to wipe my tears, knelt in front of Mrs. Li, and pretended to wipe my tears: "Mother-in-law has to make the decision with my daughter-in-law. I do it all for the sake of the prime minister and the good of the family, but the prime minister scolds me for being a jealous wife." Those two words are really chilling."
Liu Huaian almost went crazy.
Mrs. Li gathered her clothes, calmed down her emotions, and said with a cold face: "Think about it for yourself. Our Liu family has been a scholarly family since your grandfather's generation. Everyone is well-educated and well-ranked. "
"In the end, even though you are a prodigal, you still want to marry that brothel girl? If you insist on doing this, it will be up to you without her or me."
