In the early spring of March, the army finally returned.

The troublesome old man sent a letter a few days ago, Zhao Yuanrong pouted and looked at it in disgust, and then "cut".

This is really a dear father, the whole article just asked him that everything is well and then it was gone, and then cut to the point: Will Mr. Lin come to watch the army return?If he forgets, be sure to remind him, remember!

Although Zhao Yuanrong slandered him a hundred times, but on that day, he put on his casual clothes and strolled to the Lin Mansion early in the morning, waiting for his cousin to watch the army return to court together.

Lin Xi also secretly counted the days to come here, but on the surface he was calm and unconcerned, as if he was not the one who couldn't help but write the words "Zhao Jingyi" on the rice paper.

Well, the duplicity Mr. Lin does not admit the hellish emotion of missing.

So today I practiced a set of copybooks, reviewed the textbook for an hour, and commented on the homework that Zhao Yuanrong did recently, and then I changed my clothes under the service of the maid, combed my hair, and prepared to go out with Zhao Shizi .

But as soon as he reached the gate, before he had time to get into the carriage, he heard the sound of horseshoes and wheels.

"Hey, young master, it's from Yongning Hou Mansion." The coachman sitting in the front of the carriage was recognized.

Hearing the sound, the people in the carriage opened the curtain, but it was Madam Ren who was beside Mrs. Tai, who saw Lin Xi and shouted: "Master Biao!"

The carriage stopped with a whimper, and Mother Ren jumped out of the carriage as if in a hurry, trotted a few steps to Lin Xi, patted her chest lightly with a handkerchief, and panted, "That's great, Master Biao , the old slave can still make it in time, don’t leave, follow the old slave to the Marquis Mansion, ouch, something happened..."

Yuanyuan stepped forward to please Mother Ren, and asked, "Mother Ren, why are you so anxious, our young master has important matters to attend to."

Mother Ren was breathing steadily now, and seeing Lin Xi's curious eyes, she couldn't help but sighed and said, "Oh, this old slave doesn't know what to say, it's not because of our third aunt, The old lady was almost pissed off, and the young mistress saw that something was wrong, so she asked the old slave to rush to inform the young master."

Zhao Yuanrong, who was standing beside Lin Xi, knew it was broken as soon as he heard it. Sure enough, he saw that Lin Xi was in a hurry. Mrs. Tai was not young, so she said without thinking, "I'll go and have a look right away, and Yuanyuan will bring the medicine box with you." .”

Zhao Yuanrong grinned when he heard the words, followed his cousin into the carriage without hesitation, and decided to visit the Yongning Hou Mansion as well.

As for Prince Rui who was about to gallop into the city on a tall horse, he was forgotten in just a blink of an eye.

In the carriage, Mother Ren looked at Zhao Yuanrong who was sitting next to Lin Xi, and wondered why this eldest son came with him.

"Mother Ren, now we can talk. What's going on? What about uncle and cousin?" Lin Xi asked.

Mother Ren came back to her senses and said: "Oh, Lord Hou, Fourth Master and Eldest Young Master have not come back after going to court, and Second Young Master is not up to anything, Eldest and Young Mistress asked the old slave to come and find Biao Young Master, lest the old lady be angry Come anyway."

Seeing Lin Xi's anxious face and worry in her eyes, Mother Ren couldn't help feeling relieved for the old lady.Just thinking about the matter of the Hou Mansion, I couldn't help but sighed, "How should I put it, it's really shameless to say it. Our third aunt has never had a peaceful life since she got married, and she went back to her mother's house after fighting with my uncle every three days. It's because my brother-in-law didn't want to let the Duke's family know that there is no one in my natal family. At first, the young master had the cheek to support the third aunt's grandmother, but this time and twice, it was always the aunt's ignorance. I'm too lazy to care about it, even if Madam says he doesn't care, and even hides out."

Lin Xi nodded, last time Xiao Yuheng relied on him and refused to return home.

"I want the old slave to say that although my uncle is a bit older and pedantic, he is still a kind person. Every time he comes to pick him up, although he has a stinky face and is reluctant, but the madam agrees and the two husband and wife go back safely. Even the old lady was kind to him, and once said that the marriage was not a bad one."

Lin Xi agrees with this point, "And then?"

Then Mother Ren hated iron for being weak, "The third aunt came back a few days ago, and the girl said she was pregnant. Mrs. Hou Ye was very happy, but it was strange that the Duke's Mansion sent someone to report this great event. How could my aunt go back to her mother's house like this when she was in a dignified body, and my uncle didn't come with me. I asked my aunt, and my aunt said angrily that because she was pregnant, the Duke's wife took away her housekeeping power, Otherwise, she would have to arrange someone for my uncle, and she ran back in a fit of anger. Isn't this a slap in the face of my aunt when I arranged for someone in the house as soon as she was pregnant? Master Hou and his wife were very angry. But the strange thing is that they sent someone to The Duke's Mansion asked, but the aunt stopped her again, crying and shouting, "Go and ask what to do, no one is allowed to go, can I live without Li Rang? He doesn't want a child, and I am not allowed to go when I give birth to myself." !' Crying and fussing, saying that he was going to slam his head against the pillar to death, Madam was taken aback, but had no choice but to call him back and calm down after coaxing him."

Lin Xi frowned, based on what he knew about Xiao Jinxin, the matter was not so simple, "Did she not tell the truth?"

Mother Ren gave a wry smile and nodded, "No, this matter alarmed the old lady, she called her to come to her, and told her that the aunt who never married would go back to her mother's house to raise a baby, so she asked the lady to send someone to find my son-in-law. The mansion is wrong, and this matter can't be left alone. Because of the second aunt's grandma's pregnancy, the mansion was a bit uneasy. Madam was right after thinking about it, so she let Lu's mother beside her go to the Duke's mansion, but Before I saw my uncle, I was ridiculed by the Duke's wife and asked Mama Lu to come back and spread the word."

Mother Ren imitated that, and said coldly: "As the old saying goes, it's not easy to take advantage of it. If you knew this kind of character, even the gods would stay away from it. Ask your girl if she still thinks about it. But, pull back the dowry, make it clear, and leave as soon as possible!"

"The third sister is pregnant with a child." Lin Xi was surprised.

Mother Ren blushed, and couldn't help lamenting, "Oh, what a crime, madam's face turned red and then pale, and she couldn't speak for a long time. So I asked my aunt what she did to make the Duke's mansion say such harsh words. , and the uncle has not come to pick up the person until now, and he has not come to ask. The aunt killed her and said nothing, pointing at the sky, telling a lie, and so on. Said that the lady of the country can't see her everywhere The son-in-law separated their husband and wife, always saying that she was not as good as the first wife, and the children she gave birth to were not as good as the ones born before. Once the head is over, I don't feel bad anymore. The eldest and young master never treated her as a mother, and contradicted her everywhere. Knowing that she was pregnant, he deliberately bumped into her to hurt her stomach. He talked and made his wife's eyes red. Crying with a headache. My aunt's low marriage is a thorn in my wife's heart. Now that I'm angry, I sent someone to the Duke's Mansion regardless, and spread the word, "If you are separated, you will be separated. , the child was born with the surname Xiao, so it has nothing to do with the Li family.' Even the eldest and young mistress can't stop them, and people come and go quickly, and Mrs. Daoguo only needs to say one word to know."

"When did this happen? Does grandma know?"

It was like storytelling, Lin Xi turned his head and glanced at Zhao Yuanrong, but saw the child's eyes were wide open, listening brightly, and when Lin Xi looked over, he smiled embarrassingly.

Lin Xi couldn't laugh or cry.

Mother Ren said: "How dare I let the old lady know that the weather has been hot and cold these days, and the old lady is not feeling well. It is precisely because of the old lady that this morning came out. That day the Duke After the madam said "I got it", there was no news. I don't want the Duke's wife to come this morning and put down two handwritten letters in front of the old madam and madam. One is a divorce letter and the other is a divorce letter. The old lady was so angry that she almost recited it."

This was simply surprising, Lin Xi hurriedly asked: "Why did this happen, what did the third sister do? Where is my grandmother, how is it now?"

Mother Ren didn't know how to say it in order to be decent. After thinking about it, she had nothing to hide, so she said: "The old lady is okay, she took the heart-saving pills to withstand it. The lady was surprised and shocked again." Angry, she asked Mrs. Guo what she meant. Mrs. Guo said, it depends on what my aunt does. If it’s easy to get together and break up, spit out everything you eat, then you can separate and reunite clearly. If you don’t want to, then break up Wife, the Duke's mansion can't compete with the noble daughter of the Hou's mansion who has been educated like this, and she took her away without even eating tea. Speaking of this, there is nothing unclear, the old lady couldn't sit still immediately, Forced to question my aunt, but my aunt refused to admit it. So I arrested all the maids and wives around her and tortured them in front of my aunt, and then recruited them slowly. The old slave listened halfway, and the elder and younger mistress were afraid that the old lady would go wrong Let me come to look for the young master Biao."

Mrs. Guogong is already old, and her energy is not as good as before. She thought that the moral upbringing of the concubine of the Houfu must not be bad. At first, it seemed that she behaved well. I thought but looked away.

Although Xiao Jinxin is not as delicate and glamorous as Xiao Jinlan, she is also a gentle lady with delicate features.Li Rang fell in love with him the moment he lifted his hijab. At the age of 40, he could still marry such a young and beautiful lady.

Except for one son and one daughter left by the former main room, Li Rang didn't have any other concubines who gave birth. It just so happened that Xiao Jinxin took over the housekeeping rights, and the first thing she did was to sell all the young and enchanting ones. Only Tongfang, who was about the same age as Li Rang, was left to occupy a room.

One of them, who was good-looking, was quite favored by Xiao Jinxin before she married in. Hearing that the new wife was going to sell her, she suddenly started a fight. This was also a difficult person to get along with, and she knelt in the main courtyard while Li Rang was here. He kowtowed hard inside, his forehead was blue and bled, and he passed out, which made people really unbearable to watch.

After all, Li Rang negotiated with Xiao Jinxin to keep them after all, but Xiao Jinxin naturally refused, and the couple argued for a long time and no one let them go.She couldn't be angry, so Xiao Jinxin took advantage of Li Rang's visit to the Yamen, and sent a few Kongwu powerful women to lead the matchmaker to the door, and sold them all.This one who wanted to be a demon was beaten half to death and carried out first.

As soon as Li Rang came back, the backyard was almost cleared out, and she was so angry that she had a big fight with Xiao Jinxin, and the third aunt who couldn't take it anymore went back to her mother's house immediately.

Once this started, it got out of hand.

Xiao Jinxin didn't really want to live with Li Rang at first, she got married only in a suffocating breath, and when she calmed down, she looked at this 40-year-old man, who was accomplishing nothing, guarding a yamen with little water and water, working every day without getting ahead One day, just waiting for the duke title to fall to his head one day, he felt unbalanced.Compared with the sweetheart who couldn't get married, I regret it even more.

What's more, Sister Shu is getting more and more attention in Liang Wangfu, and she is getting more and more respectable.This feeling of jealousy and powerlessness revealed a little bit of disgust in her eyes. Li Rang was not a fool, and slowly he could feel the disdain from his little wife, and his tolerant heart gradually became cold.

The relationship between husband and wife faded away in just a few months.

Let's talk about Li Rang's sons and daughters. For this stepmother, the young master Yu Geer hides whenever he can. While talking, the relationship between him and Xiao Jinxin was like fire and water.

Mrs. Guo couldn't stand it, so she didn't allow Xiao Jinxin to interfere in Brother Yu's affairs, which made Xiao Jinxin extremely angry.

When Lin Xi followed Mama Ren to Songtao Courtyard, she saw a row of maidservants kneeling on the ground with their heads down, trembling with fear.

Mrs. Tai sat in front of the hall and leaned on the soft cushion with her eyes closed. The exhaustion all over her body made Lin Xi feel sore. Her left hand was still holding a string of Buddhist beads, as if this could support her from falling down.

And Qi's mother was standing behind her, waiting on her carefully.

Mrs. Tai sat next to Mrs. Shan, with a sullen face and anger in her eyes. She glanced coldly at Mrs. Liu who was sobbing softly while clutching her handkerchief. Mrs. Bai was stroking her shoulder to comfort her silently, It looked like someone was waiting outside.

It wasn't until Lin Xi appeared at the door that he breathed a sigh of relief.

Mother Ren hurriedly announced, "Madam, Master Biao is here."

Lin Xi walked in quickly without waiting for the inside to speak. Seeing Mrs. Tai breathing heavily and closing her eyes tightly, his expression suddenly sank, and he pulled Mrs. Tai's wrist to feel the pulse.

"Uncle..." Zhao Yuanrong walked in and leaned forward.

Lin Xi hissed lightly at him, and he nodded.

Mrs. Liu called him behind him, "Rong'er."

Zhao Yuanrong looked at Liu Shi and called out softly, "Grandmother." But he didn't go over.

At this time, Mrs. Tai opened her eyes, and her eyes slowly met Lin Xi's face, "Xi'er, it's nothing, why did I call you here?" As she said that, she was about to sit up, and Qi's mother and Lin Xi hurried together Lift her up.

Lin Xi said: "It's not a joke to get angry and get angry. Do you know that you're not young anymore?" She glanced at the maidservant on the ground, "What kind of heart is there?"

The reproachful tone made Mrs. Tai's gloomy face slightly calm down.

"Great-grandfather, are you still suffering? Your complexion doesn't look good at all. Just listen to your cousin and don't worry about it." Zhao Yuanrong supported Mrs. Tai's hand and showed concern.

"Rong'er is here too, great-grandfather saw you, he will be fine soon, don't worry, it's fine." Mrs. Tai finally smiled and patted Zhao Yuanrong's head lovingly.

Lin Xi was about to persuade her to rest, but she saw Mrs. Tai waved her hand at him. Needless to say, she knew it well, "Since Xi'er is here, sit down, she is not an outsider."

Lin Xi frowned when she heard the words, he was not interested in what Xiao Jinxin did, but he was worried about his elderly grandmother.

Then Zhao Yuanrong directly found a chair and sat down, looking like he was about to listen to a story, his black eyes sparkling with curiosity.

What was it all about? Lin Xi was speechless for a while, and could only sit down together when Zhao Yuanrong tugged at the hem of his clothes.

"Go and call girl Xin over here, and take these slaves down." Mrs. Tai said.
