This time Mrs. Cai understood that her guess was not wrong at all, her husband was indeed taken away by that vixen.
That was his childhood sweetheart. Because he relied on himself to gain a firm foothold in the officialdom, his childhood sweetheart could only become a concubine.
Worried about the friendship between the two of them when they were young, Mrs. Cai often targeted Aunt Liu.
But Mrs. Liu is not stupid. She has always been very well-behaved. Whether it is serving her or behaving in a manner, there is nothing wrong that she can do.
The most important thing is that she is also a cruel person. If she drinks a bowl of medicine by herself, she will never be pregnant in this life.
Mrs. Cai knew that it was too much to force Mr. Cai's childhood sweetheart to do this, so she gradually stopped using those methods.
Aunt Liu stayed in the house. Although she was a bit annoying and annoying, she thought that since there was no threat, she didn't care.
What's more, Mr. Cai is not a person who is addicted to women. He also knows that everything he has now is because of his wife, so he is not very close to Aunt Liu.
This is why the Cai family's inner house has remained stable for so many years.
Only now did Mrs. Cai realize that her husband had always been interested in this childhood sweetheart.
That's why when he was suffering and tired, he took his childhood sweetheart to stay and fly together.
Seeing the ugly expression on her mother-in-law's face, the eldest young mistress was extremely nervous, "Mom, my father is really busy now. Aunt Liu has been with my father for a long time, and my mother is not in the house, so..."
Mrs. Cai could no longer listen. Only she knew the relationship between her and her husband best.
She was as clear as a mirror as to why her husband did this.
But it's impossible for her to show anything in front of her daughter-in-law. Wouldn't that make her look useless?
So she tried her best to steady her mind, and after a while she pretended to be calm and said: "I'm just a foxy girl. Even when I get older, I'm still a foxy girl.
Your master has no other abilities, but he still has the ability to be an official. Since he is busy with the things ahead, it is impossible for others to talk about him on such a private matter."
I don’t know whether this was to save her face or to comfort herself. The eldest mistress quickly said "hmm" softly, giving her mother-in-law a little face.
Mrs. Cai then asked again: "In this case, your master never said when you would pick me back?"
How should the young lady answer this?
Not only did Mr. Cai not say that, he even said at the beginning that this was the best arrangement.
Things have come to this, and Mrs. Cai actually already has the answer in her heart. But seeing her daughter-in-law like this, she still can't help but feel chills in her heart.
After a while, she forced a smile and said: "Well, I guess I don't have time to think about this matter. Can you handle what I just asked you to do well?"
When the eldest mistress first got married, she always had to behave herself in front of her mother-in-law. Now a few years have passed, and although she has gotten better, the fear of her mother-in-law is still deep in her bones.
Hearing this, he immediately nodded and said, "Don't worry, mother, my daughter-in-law will do everything properly."
"Then go! I still have something to do, and I can't stay here any longer. Please stop whining."
Hearing this, the eldest mistress was once again shocked, "Is mother still going to leave?"
How could there be such a dumb person? Mrs. Cai thought angrily in her heart, and then said coldly: "The palace can't live without me. Think I'm still the same as before!"
The eldest mistress did not dare to speak again.
I immediately apologized to my mother-in-law and then immediately gave the order.
Not long after, a bag of silver was brought over, and then he said to Ai Ai: "This man will be here for a while. Is mother in a hurry?"
Of course, I'm in a hurry. I've spent so much time here, and I don't know if I'll be discovered over there.
The eldest mistress is also nervous. She doesn’t know what she is going through when she thinks of her mother-in-law. She is even more afraid that if she does something bad, she will be punished again.
But she calculated the time and hurriedly asked someone to pass on the food.
Nowadays, because the financial situation of the government is not as good as before, the general meals are also much worse than before.
But the person sitting in front of her at this time was her mother-in-law, the mistress of the house. The eldest mistress did not dare to show any slightness, so she made a table as sumptuous as possible and brought it over.
When Mrs. Cai saw it, she almost shed tears.
After such a long time, she had almost forgotten the taste of the rock sugar elbows made by the chef in the house.
But now that her daughter-in-law was still in front of her, she had to be more reserved. After thinking about it, she said: "I don't want to go in anymore. Go into my house and don't disturb other people. Give me my snow suit."
Bring me the fox-feather cloak."
It was given to her by her mother in Beijing as a fortieth birthday gift. It was the most precious thing, and she would not even let her closest maids touch it on weekdays.
The eldest mistress knew her mother-in-law's habit, so naturally she didn't dare to let her servants go. She immediately stood up and said, "My daughter-in-law will go and take care of it herself."
As soon as she left, Mrs. Cai kicked out the few maids who were waiting next to her. Now that there was no one else in the room, she finally picked up her chopsticks and started eating.
It was really unimaginable that one day she would not be able to resist eating from this table.
After eating these familiar flavors, she felt like she had returned to the human world. The lives of these people in the palace were simply not human.
But even so, she had to go back to the palace.
I just wish I could pack some in two food boxes and take them away.
The eldest mistress was a little surprised when she came back and saw the mess on the table. Originally, she had planned to have dinner with her mother-in-law.
However, she didn't dare to say anything, so she quickly gave the package of clothes to Mrs. Cai, and brought a few people over. "They found this according to mother's request. What did mother want them to do?"
Mrs. Cai was in a much better mood after eating. She waved her daughter-in-law to retreat before giving detailed instructions to those people.
These are all very capable people in the house. Not only do they do things neatly, but they are also very agile when running outside.
In the past, he was a person whom Mrs. Cai valued very much. Now he is receiving orders from his master, and there is nothing wrong with him.
After everything was explained, Mrs. Cai returned to Prince Chen's Mansion with satisfaction.
Fortunately, the woman who lived in the same courtyard was still there, but when she saw her coming so late, she couldn't help but complain, "Don't you know that if you go out like this, I will bear the responsibility."
You're just a bird out of the cage. I'm really afraid that you won't come back once you leave, and then I'll really want to eat you."
Just now she was flaunting her power in front of the ladies in her own palace, but now she was scolded by one of the ladies immediately after returning to the palace. Mrs. Cai was a little unable to turn around for a while.
As a result, his face looked a little ugly.
The mother-in-law immediately frowned and said: "What do you mean? Am I wrong? You have to know that you are in the palace now, which is different from other places.
There are loose rules elsewhere, but if the palace really finds out, they will definitely be kicked out."
These words finally pulled Mrs. Cai Cai out of her emotions. She quickly smiled flatteringly and said: "Sister, I'm just a little worried about our business."
Hearing her talk about this, the mother-in-law immediately became energetic and patted her chest to confirm, "Since I can tell you this, I definitely don't mean to lie to you, but you should tell me how to get your money."
Are you back? I even helped you get through to the people behind you. If you just keep talking, I won't take you with you in the future."
