The monthly income of the Xie family's wife is not high, just over 500 yuan.
An increase of fifty cents a month is equivalent to nearly one tael of silver a year. How can this make people unhappy?
"Madam is still considerate of us servants."
"Our wife is the legitimate daughter of the general's palace, so why would she care about this little money."
"I really don't understand why Madam takes the eldest lady as housekeeper. If the eldest lady does this again, the house will be in chaos."
"Anyway, the eldest lady will get married sooner or later. My wife is the head of this house, so what should I be afraid of?"
"I hope the eldest lady will get married soon."
"..."
Standing not far away, Mr. He was so angry that his head was smoking.
Sister Ping saves each mother-in-law three hundred cents a month, and Madam gives these women an increase of fifty cents. Isn't this taking advantage of Sister Ping's contribution as a favor?
The madam was so scheming that she stepped on Sister Ping to become famous in the house.
If word spread that Sister Ping doesn't know how to manage a household, which wealthy family would marry Sister Ping as the head mistress?
Brother Wei is still lying on the bed injured, and Sister Ping's reputation is about to be ruined now. What on earth is Madam going to do?
She couldn't let things get to a point where it was difficult to turn around before taking action, otherwise it would be too late.
He's eyes darkened, turned around and left.
Not long after, the boy from the outer courtyard came to Shengju to report: "Madam, just now Mother He left the house in person and went to the medicine hall..."
A smile appeared on Yun Chu's face: "Bring the chicken soup for lunch, let's go to Anshou Tang."
We were having dinner at the moment, dusk was beginning to fall, and there were no lamps in the yard. The servants coming and going would stop and respectfully call Madam.
Soon we arrived at Anshou Hall. There were two women guarding the door. There were two girls sweeping the floor in the yard. There were two maids standing at the door of the main room. When I lifted the curtain, I could see two more maids and women. Waiting on the side.
In this Anshou Hall alone, there are more than a dozen people serving the old lady.
He doesn't have that kind of family background, but he insists on having such a pomp.
Yun Chu twitched the corners of his lips and stepped in.
The old lady was sitting on the main seat, and Mrs. Yuanshi was sitting on the side, and the two were chatting.
"So my mother is here too." Yun Chu said with a smile, "I only brought a bowl of chicken soup. Doesn't this make things difficult for me?"
The old lady said: "Your mother brought me a bowl of rock sugar bird's nest when she came. I couldn't drink it anymore, so I asked your mother to drink it."
Tingshuang brought the chicken soup to Yuanshi.
Mrs. Yuan took a few sips and praised the sweetness and softness of the chicken soup. Then she said, "Chu'er, how is Sister Ping's housekeeping these days? I've heard some rumors..."
"Have you forgotten, mother, that I also experienced this when I took over the general affairs of the mansion?" Yun Chu said, "In the future, Sister Ping will become the mistress of the house, and sooner or later she will have to face the deliberate attempts to make things difficult for her servants. In our Xie family With my support and my guidance, what else does mother have to worry about?"
Yuanshi's face was full of relief: "Jingyu's greatest skill is not to get the top prize in the exam, but to marry a good wife like you."
Yun Chu raised his eyes and looked at the old lady: "In a little while, it will be the old lady's birthday. I plan to leave it to Sister Ping to handle this year's birthday. What do you mean, old lady?"
The old lady frowned slightly: "Sister Ping, can you do it?"
"Isn't Chu'er here?" Yuanshi said reassuringly, "If Sister Ping does something wrong, Chu'er can just give her a few pointers, and nothing will go wrong for sure."
The old lady thought for a while and then said: "That's fine."
Sister Ping's marriage is very important. If she marries well, it will be a great help to the Xie family. They must learn to be housekeepers.
Yun Chu took a sip of tea, raised his eyes and said, "Old lady, I heard from my servant that you sent something to Brother Wei's yard this morning?"
The old lady was speechless.
She had vowed before that she would no longer interfere with Yun Chu's discipline of the children, but as soon as she turned around, she slapped herself in the face.
"Brother Wei is spoiled, and his temper must be suppressed." Yun Chu said, "I will keep the things that the old lady sent me, and wait until Brother Wei gets better." , I will send it to you again."
Those things were also things she had given to the old lady as a gift, so it was justifiable for her to take them back.
The old lady looked very unhappy.
The things sent to Brother Wei were all extremely rare and good things, but they were taken away by the granddaughter-in-law just like that.
The three of them were talking when suddenly a woman hurried in from outside: "Old lady, it's not good."
The old lady was angry at Yun Chu, and she immediately took it out on her mother-in-law, shouting angrily: "I'm just sitting here upright, why is it so bad? There are no rules at all!"
The mother-in-law slapped herself on the mouth, and then said: "Something happened to Aunt Tao, she lost a lot of blood. I have already decided to call the doctor!"
The old lady stood up suddenly: "The child is only six or seven months old, why is he bleeding? Let's go and have a look!"
Yunchu and Yuanshi hurriedly followed and walked towards Aunt Tao's yard.
As soon as the person in charge of the house came, Aunt Tao's maid hurriedly said hello: "Old lady, madam, madam, Aunt Tao started to feel unwell last night, but she just had some diarrhea and vomiting, and then suddenly she said she had a stomachache and started to feel sick under her body. bleed……"
Before the time of delivery, all the women present knew what bleeding meant, and their faces were heavy.
While talking, the doctor arrived late, and the maid hurriedly took the doctor into the room to diagnose the pulse.
After a while, the doctor came out: "My aunt probably ate something wrong that caused fetal movement. Fortunately, she didn't eat much and she vomited it all out. Take some anti-fetal medicine and take good care of her. The baby should be safe." .”
The old lady breathed a sigh of relief.
As people get older, they like to have children and grandchildren around their knees. The more children and grandchildren there are, the more prosperous the family is, and she will have the honor to meet her ancestors after her death.
Therefore, she did not allow anything to happen to any of her children.
The old lady said, "Bring in everything Aunt Tao has eaten today, and let the doctor see what she has eaten wrong."
The maid hurriedly went to get the food, brought the leftovers, and wrote down the leftovers for the doctor to see.
"This chicken soup..." The doctor's eyes fell on the remaining half of the chicken soup. He dipped his finger into a little soup and tasted it. His expression suddenly changed. "Did you start to have abdominal pain after drinking this soup?"
The maid nodded: "My aunt felt even worse after taking a few mouthfuls of soup, so she put it down. As soon as she lay on the bed, she started to have abdominal pain and bleeding..."
"There is saffron in this soup." The doctor said with a serious face, "Old lady, you'd better check it carefully. If it happens again, this child will definitely not be saved."
After the doctor left the prescription, he took the medicine box and left.
The old lady asked someone to give the doctor some money. Her intention was obvious. She hoped that the doctor would not spread these dirty things about the Xie family.
Yuanshi stepped forward and said in disbelief: "Isn't this the same as the chicken soup Chu'er just sent?"
The old lady's eyes fell on Yun Chu, with questioning and scrutiny.
Yun Chu did not hesitate: "This soup was indeed sent by me. One bowl was sent to Anshou Hall, and the other bowl was sent to Aunt Tao."
The old lady said solemnly: "The doctor said there was saffron in the soup you sent. What's your explanation?"
Yunchu had been punishing several children in the past few days. She just thought it was for the children's benefit and turned a blind eye.
She never expected that Yun Chu would actually attack the unborn fetus...
