Qingdai was slightly surprised when she heard the word "ma'am" spoken by her own girl. In the past, no matter how much the girl suffered, she always called her mother, but she had never heard such an unfamiliar title from a girl.
It can be seen that the girl is probably heartbroken this time.
After all, what mother would talk about her daughter like that? It was clearly Liang Heng who had ill intentions towards the girl, but Madam seemed not to see it. She only said it was the girl's fault and asked the girl to be more dignified on weekdays. The girl was so aggrieved by what she said that she couldn't sleep all night, and she became even sicker after that.
She didn't understand why Madam's heart was like this. If it was the eldest girl that Liang Heng was thinking about, would Madam still think that she was ungrateful?
Not to mention, the girl was sick and unconscious, and she was almost scared to death. However, the lady was not worried at all, and just asked her to boil some medicine and feed it to the girl. In her words, she even said that the girl was seriously ill because of her anger. One incident delayed the way to Beijing, and in vain he asked Mrs. Wei of the Duke's Mansion to wait in the capital.
The implicit meaning behind this statement was that their girls were causing trouble, or even being unfilial.
Qingdai felt aggrieved for her girl, so she stepped forward and took Xie Shu's hand, lowering her voice and complaining: "That's how it should be. The girl feels aggrieved in her heart, so even if she doesn't say it outside, there's no harm in complaining here. Otherwise, Keeping this huge grievance hidden in my heart will not be good for the girl's health in the long run."
Qingdai said, looking at Xie Shu with some caution.
Xie Shu looked at her with a smile: "Yes, I will listen to Qingdai from now on."
Qingdai nodded vigorously, realizing in her heart that her girl had been wronged and got sick, and she seemed to be a little different when she woke up. If we put it in the past, when she told the girl this, the girl never liked to hear it. She also said that there must be a cause and an effect. It was because the wife was injured when giving birth to her that she had not been pregnant in these years and could not give birth to a boy for the Xie family. My son, she should have suffered these grievances. The so-called filial piety means that if you want to be filial, you should also obey your wife. This is the duty of a daughter.
The girl is like this, and it makes her feel bad for her. Now that she is sick, it is a good thing.
Qingdai looked at the girl in front of her. Although she had just woken up, her cheeks were flushed, but her eyebrows were graceful, and her beautiful eyes were like a clear pool, which made people unable to help but immerse themselves in it, and there was a bookish air all over her body. It was really Indescribably beautiful. Even the timidity and melancholy that he carried with him in the past due to being displeased by his wife dissipated, and his whole person seemed to be a little more transparent, as if the clouds had cleared and the sun appeared.
Qingdai didn't know whether her description was correct or not, but she liked this kind of girl better.
"Since the girl said this, you are not allowed to change back again in the future." Qingdai couldn't help but said.
Xie Shu was stunned for a moment, looking at Qing Dai with a bit of nervousness in her eyebrows, she bent her eyes towards her and said very seriously: "I don't mind, Madam doesn't like me, from now on I will treat her with dignity. The feelings are over."
Qingdai was stunned for a moment, hearing the alienation and distance in Xie Shu's words. She felt a little uneasy at first, and then nodded and said: "That's the reason. It's right for a girl to want to fulfill her filial piety, but she can't be so enthusiastic about everything. I have never seen this before. There is no mother in the world who is more partial than Madam.”
"The girl doesn't know that the girl has been ill for the past two days. Instead of regretting what she said to the girl that day, Madam blamed the girl for being so angry. She not only made herself sick, but also delayed her trip to Beijing. itinerary.”
"Although the girl is awake now, her body is not fully recovered yet. It's so cold outside. Don't ignore your health and continue on the road just because of a few words from the madam and the eldest girl. Otherwise, the root cause of the disease will be caused. It’s the girl herself who suffers.”
Xie Shu lowered her head, with a faint sarcasm on her face.
This was not the case in her previous life. She felt uncomfortable because of the accusations from Fu Qionghua and Xie Yan. She felt that her illness had delayed her schedule and caused her grandmother, Mrs. Wei, to wait a few more days in the capital. This was really unfilial, so she forced herself to do so. He straightened up and continued on his way. So much so that she fell ill as soon as she entered Duke An's mansion, and the palace went to great lengths to hire an imperial doctor to diagnose her pulse. From then on, she had a reputation of being weak. Moreover, she fell ill as soon as she entered the house. Some people also said that she was unlucky. They also said that she should stay at home with her body like this. Why did she come all the way to the capital? The old lady did not have a grandson like her. Can't you be a little filial?
Thinking back to those days, she felt so guilty and uncomfortable because of these gossips. Xie Shu felt sorry for herself in her previous life.
But with such a temper, isn't she exactly what her good aunt Fu Qionghua wants to raise?
She said to Qingdai: "That's right. I've been delayed for about two days. Let's take good care of our health. We must take good care of ourselves. Otherwise, it would be disrespectful to our grandmother to come to visit while sick." Woolen cloth."
Qingdai understood the meaning of her girl's words and nodded repeatedly: "You are right to think so. I will go back to the madam and say that the girl has woken up, but her body is still weak and she needs to stay in the temple for two more years." day."
Xie Shu nodded and asked her to go.
...
Fu Qionghua was slightly startled when he heard Qingdai's reply. Before she could speak, Xie Yan, the eldest girl sitting next to her, said dissatisfiedly: "It's fine that she hasn't woken up. Now she's all awake, and there will be more to support on the road." Why not, must she delay for a few more days and ask her grandmother and uncle to wait? Is this her filial piety?"
"You also said that she was afraid that she would get sick if she entered the house and be disrespectful to my grandmother. If she really had this intention, she would not be so angry and cause such things."
Fu Qionghua interrupted her: "Okay, since the girl is not well yet, I will stay in this temple for two more days."
After saying that, he said to Qingdai: "Have a good time taking care of your girl."
Qing Dai responded yes and went down.
After Qingdai went out, Fu Qionghua stretched out his hand and tapped Xie Yan's forehead and said, "As a sister, you should also pay more attention. This is in front of me. When we get to the Duke's Mansion, your grandmother and uncle won't be able to see it." I’m used to you doing this.”
Xie Yan curled her lips and said, "I just don't like her. We finally went to Beijing to see my grandma, but she got sick."
"Isn't it just because of Cousin Liang? I think she has some evil thoughts in her own mind and is thinking bad things about others. If Cousin Liang really had this intention, he would have asked his grandmother to arrange this marriage a long time ago. Why bother to follow him to the capital? Come. After all, the Liang family only has such an incense, and my grandmother would like to hold Cousin Liang in her hands and feel pain."
Fu Qionghua glanced at his daughter before saying, "Your father doesn't agree. What's the use of your grandmother continuing to love Liang Heng."
Xie Yan understood a little bit in her heart, and her face suddenly became less pretty. She said to Xie Qionghua, "I know my father favors her." I don't know what she thought of, but her voice dropped a little lower, and she muttered dissatisfiedly: "Is it possible that you still want to find a good marriage for her in the capital? Not everyone is worthy of being the young lady of a wealthy family."
Fu Qionghua sighed: "Okay, let's go back and rest this late at night. The girl has no shame in saying anything about marriage or not. Also, since your sister has woken up, you should go and see her tomorrow morning. Don't make her feel wronged once you go there."
Xie Yan stood up and walked outside, saying, "If she feels aggrieved, she can just stay at home. Why bother coming to Beijing with her?"
Fu Qionghua sighed softly, and when he saw his daughter leaving, he said to Aunt Kang beside him: "I was surprised by this little girl. I thought she was feeling guilty and didn't want to delay her trip and asked her grandmother to wait. .”
Aunt Kang also felt a little strange when she heard what her wife said that day, but she also felt that Xie Suo felt aggrieved because of what his wife said that day, and that's why she lost her temper.
Although it is a bit surprising, it is also reasonable.
"Madam, just follow the second girl this time, otherwise it would be bad to really make the second girl feel resentful."
Listening to her words, Fu Qionghua said disdainfully: "How dare she! I have raised her for so many years, and her temper has already been determined. But what you said is not bad. Just stay for two more days, so as not to get sick again on the road. Just keep struggling."
"It's just that this delay will make it possible to see my son two days later."
Fu Qionghua's tone was filled with longing and intimacy, and even his brows and eyes became extra soft for a moment.
Mother Kang knew what her wife wanted to hear, so she just said: "The young master came from my wife's belly. Even if we meet a few days later, he will be the closest to me."
...
As the night wore on, a group of people rode horses galloping along the official road, bringing up a cloud of dust, and walked to the entrance of the temple. A man behind him was the first to get off his horse, stepped forward and bowed slightly, saying: "Your Highness, please stay in this temple tonight."
The leading man was wearing a plain brocade suit with dark patterns, but the nobility and majesty around him could not be concealed. He nodded and did not refuse: "Just you, Yixuzhi, looking at this temple alone is quite impressive. Pure.”
