Yannianyuan.
In the small Buddhist hall, Mrs. Du was burning incense, worshiping the Bodhisattva and reciting Buddhist sutras.
I lit three incense sticks and inserted them into the incense burner. There were layers of incense ash on them, as if no one had cleaned them for a long time.
All the sandalwood in the Buddhist hall was burned out and no one replaced it.
"Ah Chun." Du Shi shouted unhappily.
"Madam." The voice was not that of Aunt Chun. Aunt Xia said, "Madam, Ah Chun hasn't come back yet."
Only then did Mrs. Du remember that Achun had been taken to the county government office and had not returned yet.
"Yes, since she's not here, there's no one to clean the Buddhist hall." Du Shi sighed, "Send someone with safe hands and feet to clean this place, but be careful with these things."
They are all priceless treasures, and Mrs. Du likes them all. Therefore, Mrs. Du usually only lets Aunt Chun come in to clean this place. Now that she is away, there is a lot of dust in the Buddhist hall.
Aunt Xia said yes and found a mother-in-law to come over.
Du didn't leave first, but stayed to watch the old woman's way of doing things.
I am very satisfied to see that her hands and feet work quickly and securely, and she handles things with care.
"Let Ah Chun let her sweep it before she comes back. Be careful not to damage it."
Grandma Xia looked at the mother-in-law, "Did you hear that? Be gentle with your hands and feet. If it gets bumped, you won't even be able to pay for it if I sell it."
"This slave knows." Mrs. Sun nodded quickly in agreement.
With the support of Aunt Xia, Mrs. Du returned to the house. As soon as she sat down, someone heard from outside: "The young lady is here."
Xu Wanning came, bringing with her a shiny rosewood Buddha.
"Mom, my daughter-in-law bought a red sandalwood Buddha at Duobao Building. I thought you would like it." Xu Wanning offered the thing with a smile.
Du Shi took a look, held it in her hand and looked at it, her eyes bright: "Aning is interested, I like this thing very much."
"My mother worships the Buddha every day, so that the Buddha can protect the peace of the Hou Mansion. It's Aning's turn to thank my mother. I just spend some money, but my mother spends her time. My mother has the hardest time."
Du Shi was very pleased with this flattery, "As long as you understand."
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were chatting happily, when another inappropriate cry came from outside.
"Madam, it's bad, Bai Qingqing and Miss Chen are fighting."
Bai Qingqing and Miss Chen?
"Which Miss Chen?" Xu Wanning stood up suddenly.
"That's Miss Chen Mianmian."
"Mother." Xu Wanning looked at Du in surprise, "Why did the two of them fight?"
Du Shi: "...Let's go and take a look first."
She was really worried about this family, doing trivial things all day long.
In Ningyuan.
Bai Qingqing grabbed Chen Mianmian's hair, and Chen Mianmian, not to be outdone, also grabbed Bai Qingqing's hair.
The two women were lying on the ground, one grabbing a handful and the other grabbing a handful, glaring at each other fiercely, neither of them willing to let go.
"What's going on? Why don't you get up quickly?" Seeing this scene, Mrs. Du was so angry that she went to heaven!
Chen Mianmian immediately let go of her hand holding Bai Qingqing's hair and cried weakly and helplessly: "Madam, save me."
Bai Qingqing pulled hard, and Chen Mianmian burst into tears in pain.
"Someone, separate the two of them." Du Shi shouted loudly, and someone immediately stepped forward to separate the two women.
Their clothes were scratched, their faces were stained, their hair was messy, and they were in such an embarrassing state.
Du Shi glanced at Cui Yunfeng.
Cui Yunfeng smiled and lowered his head, feeling extremely proud in his heart.
Mrs. Du didn't even have to guess, she already knew why the two women were fighting.
It’s not just about being jealous of a man!
One is his son's old lover, and the other is his son's new lover, that's all. Forget it, let the son solve it by himself.
Before Du Shi could speak, Xu Wanning spoke first, "Which one of you two can tell me what happened just now?"
Bai Qingqing didn't want to talk to Xu Wanning.
"Mianmian, tell me." Xu Wanning called her name.
Chen Mianmian cried so hard that she was out of breath and almost fainted. "Young madam, I was resting in the room. She suddenly broke in and beat me without saying a word. I don't even know her." , she rushed in and beat me, and also called me a bitch! Wuwuwu..."
Xu Wanning looked at Bai Qingqing with a sullen face: "It's your turn to explain. Tell me, why did you beat her indiscriminately?"
Bai Qingqing pursed her lips and said nothing.
Why?
Don't you have any idea?
Don’t you know the purpose of bringing Chen Mianmian into the house?
"Say!" Xu Wanning raised her voice and became more severe.
Bai Qingqing still didn't speak.
Instead, Cui Qingping ran over, pointed at Chen Mianmian and cursed: "This bitch, she wants to steal my father, and she wants to give birth to my father's child. She is shameless."
Xu Wanning squatted down and supported Cui Qingping: "Who taught you to say these words?"
Cui Qingping stopped talking, tilted his head and snorted coldly.
He ignored Xu Wanning and instead nestled next to Bai Qingqing. His intimate gesture seemed to be provoking Xu Wanning.
Xu Wanning couldn't bear it any longer, and vividly displayed the anger of a mother who had her son taken away.
"Bai Qingqing, don't think that I can't do anything to you if you don't speak, and don't think that since you are my son's savior, I won't dare to do anything to you! You are just a servant of the Hou Mansion now, but Miss Chen is My guest, if you disrespect her, you disrespect me, come on, pull her down and slap me!"
"How dare you, I won't allow it, I won't allow it!" Cui Qingping shouted: "I am the eldest grandson of the Chengyang Marquis Mansion, and the Marquis Mansion is mine, who do you think you are! I don't want you, dad, you are about to divorce her , I want Aunt Bai to be my mother!"
"..."
There was silence all around, and Cui Qingping's words were like a pebble dropped into the calm lake.
Bai Qingqing was very pleased.
Sure enough, the son she gave birth to had a heart for her.
Xu Wanning was also very pleased.
It was not in vain that she kept instilling in his ears the view that the Hou Mansion was his, that he was the biggest in the Hou Mansion, and that he could do whatever he wanted.
Sure enough, children can be taught!
Xu Wanning cried angrily: "Brother Ping, I am your mother. You actually asked your father to divorce me for the sake of an outsider! Was it me who gave birth to you or hers? Wuwuwu..."
Yes, what Xu Wanning said is right. His son asked his father to divorce his mother for the sake of a servant. Which mother of his would not be angry after hearing this!
The servant who became a mother was also very angry at the moment, but she didn't dare to be angry with the young master, so she could only glare at Bai Qingqing.
This woman is causing discord and is a disaster!
"You bastard, I'm not dead yet. It's not your turn to make the decision in the Hou Mansion." An angry scolding came from Cui Lu who was returning to the manor.
Hearing that Chen Mianmian had been beaten, Cui Lu was so distressed that he ran all the way over. When he went outside, he heard Cui Qingping saying that the Hou Mansion belonged to him!
Children are the most naive and the easiest to parrot. The words he said were obviously taught to him by someone.
Who taught it?
Needless to say, before Bai Qingqing entered the house, Brother Ping was taught to be well-behaved and sensible by Xu Wanning. Now he has become arrogant and domineering. Who taught him if not Bai Qingqing?
There is no one named Hei Qingqing in the house.
