Coming out of Yongxihou Mansion, Hu Jie complained to Mrs. Hu: "Mom, you speak too fast, I can't even stop you!"

Mrs. Hu was feeling uncomfortable. When she heard her daughter complaining like this, she became even more angry: "Why did your mother speak so hastily? Isn't it just to make Madam look good? Is it for myself? Everyone else can say that about you."

Mom, you can’t say that! If it weren’t for your father, your brother and you, why would your mother have to lick her old face and look at others like this?”

Hu Jie felt uncomfortable being scolded by her mother, but she did not dare to talk back anymore and turned her face away.

She also felt uncomfortable.

Her father was indeed supported by the Yongxi Marquis Mansion, this cannot be denied.

Their family also relied on Yongxihou Mansion to be where they are today.

On the surface, the old lady and the madam of Yongxihou Mansion liked them to join in the fun, but in their hearts, Hu Jie knew very well how they viewed them.

Sometimes she even hates why she was not born in the Marquis Mansion.

Even if she was born by Mr. Hou's concubine, it would be better than watching her mother grow up in a low position. She felt sorry for her mother, but also felt that her mother was pitiful and pathetic, and could not bring her glory, which made Hu Jie feel very upset.

She didn't talk to Mrs. Hu again.

She doesn't hate her mother, but she hates the unsatisfactory life at home.

Mrs. Hu is also annoyed.

Mrs. Hu knows Song Pan'er's character best.

Mrs. Yongxihou came to invite her with kind words, and Song Pan'er might be happy and let her daughter go to see her. But if Mrs. Hu goes, Song Paner will definitely ask Mrs. Yongxihou why she doesn't come. Then it will be counterproductive.

Song Paner is a strong person.

If Mrs. Hu can't be invited, Mrs. Yongxihou should scold her in her heart for being incompetent.

Mrs. Hu boasted to Mrs. Yongxihou all day long that she had a good relationship with the third brother of the Gu family...

Since we are on good terms with each other, why can’t we invite you?

Wouldn't it be a vain slap in the face then?

It turned out to be a dilemma.

Mrs. Hu and Hu Jie returned home first.

When they got home, both mother and daughter were relieved.

After returning home, I found out that Song Paner, the Gu family in Yuanbao Hutong, asked his servants to deliver Laba porridge to Mrs. Hu.

Mrs. Hu took the opportunity to visit Gu's house.

Gu Jinzhi accompanied King Luyang to the palace, and Mrs. Hu breathed a sigh of relief.

She smiled and chatted with Song Pan'er for a while, but she just said a little bit: "This year is not good. There is a war in the south. There is also a war in the north. Your eldest son was ill before, which made people in Beijing panic.

, no one dares to invite people from the Tai Hospital. Now the Tai Hospital has not officially announced the situation. Who knows, the New Year is not over yet. The Marquis in our mansion is also sick..."

Song Paner is now very wary of this kind of thing.

Especially the Ning family's troubles made her feel cold towards the people in Beijing.

She smiled. She did not answer the news that the Marquis of the Hu family was ill, but simply said: "This year's situation is a bit worse. However, next year should be smooth."

Mrs. Hu smiled and said yes.

Then she turned the topic to Marquis Yongxi: "The way I see it, the illness of the Marquis in our mansion may have to be delayed until next year. I heard that it has been half a month, but he is still not cured...

"

Song Paner glanced at Mrs. Hu.

There was a bit of sarcasm in her eyes.

The sarcasm flashed past, and Song Pan'er returned to her calm smile, but stopped speaking.

Mrs. Hu and Hu Jie were both embarrassed.

I have always known that Song Pan'er has such a personality, but I am not happy about it.

Gu Jinzhi was in the palace again, so it was hard to say much.

If Song Pan'er is offended, things will become more difficult later on. Song Pan'er is not a gentle-hearted person who agrees to anything just by saying a few nice words.

Mrs. Hu has been dealing with Song Pan'er for many years, and she knows what Song Pan'er cannot afford to offend.

She didn't dare to say anything more, so she stood up and left.

She took Hu Jie to Yongxihou Mansion to reply.

Hu Jie didn't want to go, so she said, "Mom, I'm going home first. You can go and say something back."

Mrs. Hu didn't force her, she sent her home first, and then took her car to Yongxihou Mansion.

This time, she finally got to see Mrs. Hou Ye.

Mrs. Hou met Mrs. Hu in the East Room of the banquet place and said with a smile: "Just now, Mother Yang told me that you had to help us go to the Gu family and ask the seventh lady of the Gu family to come and see Mr. Hou. I am very sorry. You

I understand your heart. Just like me, you hope that Lord Marquis will be safe and sound. It’s just that you have worked hard..."

Instead, Mrs. Hu wanted to express herself and take over things by force.

Mrs. Hu felt so wronged!

What did she say?

It was obviously Yang's mother who asked her to go.

How dare Mother Yang act like this without Madam's order?

Nowadays, Madam has picked it off completely, as if it was all Mrs. Hu's own will.

The invitation is due to Mrs. Hu's affection for the Yongxihou Mansion. Gu Jinzhi only accepts Mrs. Hu's friendship. The Yongxihou Mansion owes Gu Jinzhi nothing. The failure to invite is also due to Mrs. Hu's own embarrassment. It doesn't matter.

It’s about Mr. Hou.

Mrs. Hu cursed in her heart.

After calming down her emotions, Mrs. Hu said to Mrs. Yongxi Hou with a sad face: "I was arrogant and praised Haikou. I just hurriedly went to Yuanbao Hutong, but I didn't see the real owner. Today is Laba, the Queen Mother

It was announced that King Luyang would be coming to the palace for a reunion, and Miss Gu's seventh daughter also went with her. I sat down at this point, and they haven't come back yet..."

Mrs. Yongxihou's face darkened slightly.

Mrs. Hu looked at it, her heart pounding.

She was very afraid of offending Yongxihou Mansion.

Nowadays, Hu Zeyu's errands all rely on the Yongxi Hou Mansion.

Marquis Yongxi was very prestigious in the court and had many disciples. If he was offended, just a few words could save Hu Zeyu from his errand.

Hu Zeyu had just been elected as a doctor in the Ministry of Punishment and had not yet established his footing. Marquis Yongxi became the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment.

Seeing that Mrs. Hou was sullen and silent, Mrs. Hu lost her confidence and hurriedly said with a smile: "It's me who deserves to die for not handling this matter well. I'll go and invite you tomorrow."

Mrs. Yongxihou's face became very clear at this moment.

She showed a smile and said: "How can you say the damn thing? It's not your fault that Miss Gu is not at home. Since it is your filial piety, why should I refuse to let you in? Thank you for your trouble."

Treating Gu Jinzhi's medical visit as a gift from Mrs. Hu.

And Mrs. Hu should be ecstatic that Mrs. Yongxihou could accept this gift.

Others haven't had the opportunity to give gifts yet.

Mrs. Hu felt troubled.

She was really upset.

I got up and came out of Yongxihou's Mansion. There were lights outside and it was getting dark.

Two red lanterns were hung at the hanging flower door of Yongxihou Mansion, and the red light poured down all over the floor. However, Mrs. Hu's heart was extremely gloomy.

The biting cold wind blew against her body, and she shivered suddenly, turned around and got into the carriage.

Mrs. Yongxihou chatted with Mrs. Hu for a while, and then went into the back room.

Marquis Yongxi has fallen asleep.

Just now, he had no time to get up and stretched himself on the bed.

Although the room was lit with incense and the bedding was clean, there was a stench that could not be dispelled.

I don't feel it after staying in the house for a long time.

Suddenly coming in from the outside, I felt sick.

Mrs. Yongxihou is a very tidy person, and her stomach was churning at this moment.

The inner room is divided into two rooms by assorted partitions as high as one person and hung with brocade curtains.

Marquis Yongxi was sleeping inside.

The old lady in law took a nap on the kang outside.

Ever since Marquis Yongxi fell ill, the old lady never left the house and did not go to rest until night.
