Chapter 090
After the eldest wife saw Yuanniang that day, Yuanniang became "sick".
The whole government knows this.
The eldest lady sighed and couldn't help wiping her tears when she saw anyone. She looked like a loving mother and said that the old lady was sick, Yuanniang was also sick, and Dr. Hang was not in the house, which made people worried.
Every Spring Festival, Dr. Hang returns to his hometown, which takes a long time. He usually doesn't come back until almost the first lunar month. The Lantern Festival has not yet passed, so how can he come back in time?
The eldest wife was depressed all day long. Whenever someone came to visit Yuanniang, she would refuse them, saying that Yuanniang's illness was on her face, and her daughter's family was too shy to see people. Mrs. Song
None of them had ever seen Yuanniang's face. Xie Shuning went with her for the first time, but only stayed for a while before he realized that the eldest lady was lying.
details make a difference.
The eldest wife claims to be with Yuan Niang every day, but if Yuan Niang is really sick, how can she not take medicine? Since she needs to take medicine, how can the eldest wife not have even a trace of the smell of medicine on her body?
It can be seen from this that none of what the eldest lady said is true at all.
Xie Shuning and Mrs. Song left the eldest room. On the way, she said to Mrs. Song: "Mother, is the eldest cousin really sick?"
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Mrs. Song and his wife went to the eldest room. According to Xie Shuning, these two people should not know anything about it. But when she heard her ask, Mrs. Song just frowned, shook her head and said
: "Looking at your aunt's appearance, she seems to be really sick."
Xie Shuning stared at the expression on her face carefully, and then sighed secretly, it was the truth.
She knew her mother, but Song really didn't know.
Then she heard Mrs. Song whisper: "It's strange, how come all the good people are sick."
The small heater in her sleeves conveyed a steady stream of warm air to her palms. Xie Shuning touched the pattern on the furnace wall and asked Mrs. Song with a puzzled look on her face: "Mother, what happened to the eldest aunt?"
Sick? How come it’s been so long and there’s no improvement?”
The old lady's illness has not improved, and everyone has known for a long time.
"I heard that I had a quarrel with your uncle and aunt, and they got angry. I don't know what the quarrel was about." The two of them talked and walked to the verandah of the main room of Yumingyuan.
Mrs. Song helped her straighten the crane cloak covering her head and said softly.
Xie Shu listened quietly and nodded from time to time.
To hide the news so tightly shows the seriousness of the matter. She knew that the eldest cousin's matter was probably closely related.
Sure enough, the lanterns for the Lantern Festival had just been hung up. Before everyone could eat a piece of Yuanxiao, they got the news that Yuan Niang was dead.
Xie Shuning held the edge of the bowl blankly, feeling that the half of the Yuanxiao in her mouth was sticky and sweet, making her unable to swallow it.
She had no interaction with Yuan Niang in her previous life, but in this life, Yuan Niang really died, and she felt inexplicably a little sad. This was the first relative to die around her since her rebirth. Her eldest cousin Xie Yunruo was older than her.
In his previous life, he was several years younger, but he could no longer survive.
But even if Xie Shuning guessed why Yuanniang must die, she didn't expect that Yuanniang would hang herself this time.
The eldest lady is not stupid. A lot of things happened one after another in the first month, which is definitely not a good sign. It would be unlucky to tell anyone.
So she thought, she would have to postpone it until spring at least.
By that time, Yuanniang would have been suffering from a serious illness for a long time. If she died, it would be justifiable and it would be easy to fool people.
But who knows, Yuan Niang hangs herself.
The eldest lady cried and cursed, "A stinky girl who kills a thousand people will not let anyone live in peace even if she dies!"
At this moment, it has only been seven or eight days since Yuanniang fell ill.
What disease is so severe?
The eldest wife felt more and more that Yuanniang was a disaster star.
When the eldest lady learned about it, she vomited blood. As soon as she recovered, she called the eldest lady and scolded her. She didn't care that the eldest daughter-in-law was a grandmother. She pointed at her nose and started scolding her.
"I've given you countless instructions to ask people out, and look at what you've done!"
After he finished speaking, he coughed up another mouthful of blood.
The eldest lady was afraid that something would happen to her, so she didn't dare to talk back, so she quickly asked the doctor to come in and see her.
There was a lot of commotion, and even after Yuanniang was buried, the old lady's illness did not get better.
Dr. Hang should be on his way back to Beijing. He knows the old lady's physical condition best, and it would be best for him to diagnose and treat her. But who knows, a group of people are waiting eagerly, but what they are waiting for is Dr. Hang on his way back to Beijing.
There was an accident, the carriage overturned, and he died...
This was good, but after hearing the news, it was even worse. The old lady in charge was even more miserable.
The eldest wife didn’t even dare to enter the Meihuawu gate.
She didn't handle Yuan Niang's affairs well, and the old lady became upset when she saw her. She wanted to beat her out, but she didn't want to see her. The old lady was crying without tears, and she even lost her appetite for food.
Because Yuanniang never spoke up until her death, there was no evidence, and it was hard to make the matter a big deal, so in the end she had no choice but to let it go. The old lady hated her even more.
The eldest wife has never figured out what is going on. The inner house is bounded by the hanging flower door, and the servants in the house cannot enter normally. Even if they enter the inner courtyard at certain times, it is mostly the mothers-in-law who come in.
What can the leader do, and most of them are just talented boys? The young lady from the second door doesn’t go out easily. After thinking about it, she has no chance at all!
But, after all, it happened right under her nose.
The more she thought about it, the more upset she became. Even after Yuan Niang died, she didn't feel relieved.
However, it was difficult to publicize this matter, and she couldn't even look for people to ask questions. She couldn't hold it in any longer, so she took a few maids around her to look at the hanging flower door again and again, and saw several women guarding the door.
Terrified.
As the watershed between the inner courtyard and the outer house, the hanging flower gate has always been closely guarded. But now in the eyes of the eldest wife, it is like a pile of sand. It can be scattered by the wind and is not reliable at all. She stood on the fifth floor.
On the bluestone steps, looking at the brick walls with exquisitely polished bricks and seams on both sides of the hanging flower door, I feel like my heart is burning.
She had no choice but to find an excuse and beat the woman who was guarding the door hard, then turned around and walked to the handwriting corridor.
Since then, the servants and wives in the house have become much better behaved, and there are far fewer people who usually gossip.
Everyone knows that the eldest wife used to dislike the eldest lady, but she is her daughter after all, so there is no way she would not be sad if something happened. Because she was in a bad mood, no one dared to seek bad luck in her presence for fear of offending her.
The bad guys ended up in a miserable state. Those who got slapped shut their mouths tightly, not even daring to let anyone see them.
The eldest lady acted vigorously and resolutely this time. She really fooled people.
Yuanniang's matter was thus suppressed.
But Xie Shuning felt that this matter would not end so easily. Yuanniang's death was only half of the end at most. The fog that blocked everyone's eyes was still covered one by one, making it difficult for people to see through. She deliberately asked people to
I went to see Li Xia, but she lacked a useful person. The inner courtyard was better, but outside the second gate, it was difficult to move.
When spring comes, Aunt Jiang can only use it in the inner house if she chooses a few people. It still won't work outside.
She thought about it and frowned.
Trapped in the inner house, she was somewhat constrained after all. There were still many things she wanted to do, and she couldn't just spend the rest of her days like this.
She thought of Lu Kong.
Lu Kong is still in Yanling, in charge of the medical clinic funded by the Song family.
Yanling is a long way from Kyoto. If she needs to use Lukong for something, she is afraid that it will be too late. She would be a fool if she didn't use it when she had the opportunity. In this life, many things have changed. I don't know how many years ago she had.
Will Yanhuai, who returned to Beijing only at the age of 30, appear in advance in this life? Will he take Lukong for his own use again?
She rubbed her brows and turned around to find Xie Yuanmao.
After the 15th, it started to snow again.
I don’t know when it will rain this year. Last year, at the beginning of spring, there was an inexplicable heavy snowstorm.
Xie Shuning was very afraid of the cold, so she wore thick and many clothes and held a heater in her hand. Yuebai followed her and held an umbrella to protect her from the snow.
She was only as tall as Yuebai's shoulders, but she walked long and fast, making it difficult for Yuebai to follow. After entering the corridor, Yuebai turned her umbrella sideways to block the snowflakes blowing in from outside.
, while telling Xie Shuning: "Miss, walk slower."
"Yes." Xie Shuning responded, but her pace could not slow down at all. She was so afraid of the cold that she would never go out and walk around if she could stay in the house for a moment longer. There would be something to mention, otherwise
, she refused to come out. If she walked slowly, wouldn't it mean she would have to endure the cold more? She wouldn't like it!
After a while, when she arrived in the inner study, she discovered that her brother was there.
Father is examining his homework.
She went in and stood there without speaking, listening to Xie Yi's endorsement.
After stumbling and breaking several times, he finally finished memorizing it. Xie Yuanmao couldn't help but frowned and said, "How many times have you read it through?"
"Twenty times..." Xie Yi lowered his eyes, seeming a little ashamed.
Xie Shuning couldn't help but feel ashamed while listening. She had to read it twenty times before memorizing it like this, but it was really hard to explain.
Just as he was thinking about it, Xie Yuanmao suddenly turned to look at her, pointing at her with the finger holding the scroll, "Aman can read it once, why can't you?"
Xie Yi was doing better when he was young, and he learned reading and calligraphy very quickly, but as his homework became more and more complex, he gradually showed signs of decline. Xie Shuning knew that he probably didn't like studying. If his mind was not on this, how could he still do it?
Can she study well? Due to the regret of not being able to grow up together in her previous life, she only hopes that her brother is safe in this life. She doesn't care whether he succeeds in his studies or whether he can take the imperial examination and become an official in the future.
It's just that Xie Yuanmao, as a father, naturally wouldn't think so.
Hope your son will become a dragon, and he is no exception.
Xie Shuning quietly winked at Xie Yi.
Xie Yi understood this and lowered his head to Xie Yuanmao, saying in a distressed and sad voice: "Yier is stupid and has disappointed his father. Maybe Yi'er will not be able to study since he was born."
Seeing him like this, Xie Yuanmao couldn't continue to say the words that had already come to his lips. He had always been soft-spoken rather than tough, so when he heard the words, he changed his subject and encouraged his son: "Don't talk nonsense, you are my son.
How can you not know how to read?"
Xie Shuning sat on the edge and thought to herself: My brother doesn't like studying, so it's useless to say anything.
After a while, Xie Yuanmao turned around and asked her with a smile: "Aman, is there something wrong?"
Xie Shuning also laughed and said: "Aman thought that the eldest aunt's health had not improved, and he was worried, so he thought of someone. Dr. Lu, who had treated Aunt Jiang earlier, if he could come to Beijing, he would
It will definitely cure my great-aunt's disease." (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
