"Madam, there is news from outside that the Marquis has returned to Beijing." Aunt Zhou whispered to the eldest lady.

The eldest lady's half-closed eyes suddenly opened, and her eyes were astonishingly bright: "Really?"

Grandma Zhou nodded, with a smile on her face: "It should go smoothly. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to return to Beijing so soon."

The eldest lady also had a look of relief on her face.

In addition to worrying about her husband's troubles, she is also worried about her brother.

After all, Zhu Heyu is not like Zhao Yuanxun, who only takes a false position. It is okay if he does not go to the Yamen for ten days and a half. Zhu Heyu has to go to the Yamen every day. This time he went to Jiangnan, he asked for sick leave and pretended

The exit door.

If this is exposed and impeached, it will affect the future.

Therefore, the eldest lady hopes day and night that things will go smoothly, that the matter of changing the child can be settled as soon as possible, and that the brother will take less risks.

Since Mr. Hou is back so soon, I think things are going well and my brother will be back soon.

She breathed a long sigh of relief, thought for a moment with half-closed eyes, and then told Aunt Zhou: "In that case, let's start moving in the second room."

Aunt Zhou understood: "Yes."

Over in the second room, Mrs. Wei was losing her temper: "What kind of dish is this? It's either bland or salty. Take it back and throw it in the cook's face and tell her to make it again. If it doesn't work well, just sell it.

go out."

Ever since Li Mu's family escaped, the Wei family has never had a moment of peace. They always find faults, curse and hit others, and the maids and women in the second house are terrified all day long.

At this moment, the second lady was looking for trouble in the kitchen. The maids who were waiting on her all breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Yes." They quickly cleared away the dinner on the table and left.

Mrs. Wei stroked her chest and closed her eyes.

These days, she always felt uneasy. When she thought about the possibility of Li Mu's family being captured and interrogated, she couldn't calm down.

"How is Grandma Li?" she asked.

"I'm awake now, and I can slowly start to drink porridge."

Speaking of Grandma Li, the maid was very emotional.

There is a rule in the mansion, that is, if a servant is seriously ill, he must move out of the mansion, so as not to spread the illness to the master, and also to prevent the servant from dying in the mansion and bringing bad luck to the mansion.

After being carried out of the firewood shed, Nanny Li had a high fever and was delirious. When Dr. Shi came over to see the doctor, he suggested that the second lady move Nanny Li out of the house to recuperate. The second lady refused and insisted on taking Nanny Li away.

Grandma stayed, even though Grandma Li was very seriously ill.

Because of this matter, she had another quarrel with the old lady and the eldest lady.

Because of Wei's bad temper, she was a difficult master to serve, and the servants in the second house were somewhat dissatisfied with her.

But everyone secretly lamented the matter about Aunt Li, saying that although the second lady had a bad temper, she was not that hard-hearted.

Aunt Li has been serving her all her life. She would rather bear the pressure from the old lady and the eldest lady to keep Nanny Li in the house to recuperate. She also always stays in front of Nanny Li's bed and feeds her medicine with her own hands. It can be seen that

They treat Grandma Li as a relative. Grandma Li’s hard work in this life is worth it.

Hearing that Nanny Li was awake, Wei's mood immediately relaxed a lot.

God knows how frightened Nanny Li was when she was talking nonsense. She was afraid that she would say something outrageous and that she would die. For this reason, she had to go to the hospital bed to serve Nanny Li in person.

I have never been treated like this.

"I'm going to see her." Mrs. Wei stood up and went to the side room next to her.

Ever since she knew that Aunt Li was talking nonsense, she had someone move her into the main courtyard and place her in a side room so that she could protect her and prevent other servants from visiting her and hearing the nonsense that Aunt Li said.

Fortunately, Zhao Yuanliang would not set foot in the main courtyard unless he had something to do. This courtyard is where Wei lives alone, and she also has the final say on the second bedroom.

Grandma Li was drinking porridge with the little maid waiting on her. When she saw Mrs. Wei coming in, she struggled to get out of bed and salute.

"Lie down quickly and get well. When you get better, how many rituals will you do?" Wei said angrily, with a rare kind words.

She asked Aunt Li a few questions and found out that she was indeed well. Then she got up, gave some more instructions, and left the room.

"Mother Li, my wife treats you really well." The little maid said with envy.

Grandma Li had already heard what happened during her illness.

She said gratefully: "Yes. Madam treats me like this, and I won't hesitate to hurt her." As she said that, she lowered her eyes, but her eyes were full of coldness.

When she was imprisoned in the woodshed, she actually had the will to die.

She felt that if she died, Li Mu's family of four would be better off no matter where they were, at least they wouldn't be embarrassed or wavered because she was in the hands of the Wei family.

But when she was so ill, someone whispered in her ear, saying that if she died, there would be no need for her children and grandchildren to exist. The voice was very unfamiliar. She was frightened at the time and gritted her teeth to hold on.

Come to life.

Although she has served the Wei family all her life, she has no choice but to be a servant. Because the Wei family is harsh to her servants, Grandma Li does not have much affection for this master; especially after what the Wei family ordered Li Mu to do, Li Mu

Mammy was worried day and night. She was even more respectful towards her master Wei, but secretly she hated her so much that she wished she would die soon.

If the Wei family is dead, perhaps their family will be freed.

She acquiesced and even encouraged her granddaughter to marry Zhao Jingan and take the aunt's position while pregnant with the child, which was also a way to save her life.

But I don't want the family to end up like this.

From the moment she came back to life, she knew that her life no longer belonged to the Wei family, but to the person who controlled the lives of her children and grandchildren. No matter what that person asked her to do, she would do it, even if it hurt the Wei family.

poison.

It's a pity that after her son's family fled, the Second Madam would probably never trust her again. It would be difficult for her to get close to the Second Madam. She could only follow the man's instructions to win the hearts of Chun Qing and several servants, and at the critical moment, she would be able to win over the Second Madam.

You have to rely on them to achieve your goals.

Although I feel sorry for Chun Qing and Chun Fen by doing this, the man also said that after the Wei family falls, the few servants who have helped will be properly resettled.

Thinking of this, she raised her eyes and looked at the maid next to her: "Chunqing, how is your mother?"

"Much better." Chunqing said with a smile, "When Dr. Shi came to see you, my wife specially asked him to show it to my mother and prescribe a new prescription. I drank the medicine yesterday and got up early today.

I feel a lot lighter."

Dr. Shi was very skilled in medicine and only treated his masters. When their servants got sick, they could only ask other doctors to see them. They were not worthy of being treated by Dr. Shi unless the master was merciful. That's why Chunqing said this.

Grandma Li nodded, felt under the pillow, took out a silver ingot, and stuffed it into Chunqing's hand: "Your mother needs ginseng to treat her illness. I have been cured of such an illness.
