After seeing Mrs. Ma off, Li Yan asked Shi Chunquin in confusion: "Since she offered to help us deal with Jiang Ya, why didn't grandma take the opportunity to agree?"
"Agreeing now will only arouse her suspicion." Shi Chunfen said bluntly: "Not only can't we agree, but we can't mention it later. It's best to wait until she finds out by herself, so that we can move forward."
"What if she can't find it out on her own?" Lu Tao worriedly said, "Jiang Ya is not a good person. If time goes by, I'm afraid there will be complications again."
"Don't worry." Shi Chunquin said calmly: "Before, I didn't know who was doing it in the dark. Now that I know it, I won't let her do whatever she wants."
"Having said that, it's better for grandma to be cautious." Li Yan reminded: "After all, we have fallen into her hands not once or twice. Now that grandma has the weakness of the little master, she should be more careful."
At the mention of Tangyuan, Shi Chunfen's eyes softened, and he stretched out his hand to scratch her face, "Speaking of which, I also took advantage of Tangyuan tonight. Without her, how could I have gained Mrs. Ma's trust so quickly?"
Seeing that she was still laughing, Li Yan couldn't help but sigh, "The stitches on grandma's head will be removed tomorrow. Are you really not worried at all?"
"How could you not be worried?" Shi Chunfen retracted his hand and said calmly: "It hurts to worry, and it hurts not to worry. I just don't want to ask for trouble."
Having said that, when the stitches were removed the next day, Shi Chunfen still couldn't help but shed a lot of tears. What made her even more painful was that because the situation was urgent at the time, Li Yan casually found him at a medical clinic near the inn.
The doctor's stitching skills were not very good, which greatly increased the possibility of scarring.
"How is my sister's stitches removed?" Although Mrs. Ma made an appointment with her to come back at noon, she was still embarrassed to eat and drink for nothing, so she came over in advance to care about her injury.
Shi Chunfen sighed and showed her his crooked scar, "It's been removed, but it's a bit ugly."
Mrs. Ma didn't expect her scar to be so real. She didn't know how to comfort her for a moment, "This... what kind of doctor is this? Why did he sew the wound so crookedly?"
"Mrs. Ma doesn't know." Li Yan couldn't help but interrupt: "The situation was urgent at that time. We didn't have time to find the best doctor in the city, so we had to find the nearest doctor first to save our lives."
"That's it." Mrs. Ma nodded slightly, looking at Shi Chunfen with a little more sympathy in her eyes, "My sister is really suffering."
Shi Chunfen took the opportunity to put on a pitiful posture and sighed softly: "I have suffered it even if I shouldn't. Now I can only hope that this scar will be eliminated as soon as possible. Otherwise, with my current appearance, I am afraid it will be even harder to please Mr. Lang."
.”
Seeing that she took the initiative to mention Chu Ling, Madam Ma became interested, "Who is that woman who is so charming to your husband? Is she really so beautiful?"
"What kind of beauty is this?" Li Yan said disdainfully: "A mere medical girl, who is just a little more delicate, is now dominating our house. Grandma couldn't stand what she did and kicked her out. Uncle
I had a cold war with my grandma for a long time because of this, and now it’s even more..."
"Li Yan!" Shi Chunquin interrupted her at the right time, "Don't talk too much!"
Li Yan shrank her neck and quickly closed her mouth.
Seeing her aggrieved look, Mrs. Ma rolled her eyes and said with emotion: "I can't believe that there is such a shameless woman in this world. You have already driven her out of the mansion, and she can still find ways to destroy the relationship between you and your husband. He
If I have a chance, I really want to meet her for a while."
"Let's not let this kind of person affect our mood." Shi Chunfen quickly changed the subject, "Didn't my sister say that she wanted to help me taste the food? I'm going to prepare it now."
On the equinox of Shichun, she got up and went to the kitchen of the nunnery. Madam Ma was a lady from a well-known family, so naturally she didn't want to set foot in that kind of place. What's more, most of these good cooks had some secrets that they didn't want others to see, so it would be rude for her to follow her in.
Mrs. Ma stayed in Shi Chunfen's room, and Shi Chunfen asked Li Yan to stay and take care of her. Because she always acted like she kept her mouth shut, Mrs. Ma had a very good impression of her.
Taking advantage of the absence of the Spring Equinox, Mrs. Ma took the initiative to ask Li Yan: "I heard your name is Li Yan, right?"
Li Yan nodded quickly and said with a complacent smile: "Ma'am, do you want some tea, or should you eat some fruit first?"
"No need." Mrs. Ma waved her hand and said, "My sister is a superb cook, so I'd better keep my stomach open to eat the vegetarian dishes she made by herself."
Seeing how candid she was, Li Yan laughed, "Our grandma's craftsmanship is indeed pretty good. It was her craftsmanship that won me over in the first place."
"Oh?" Mrs. Ma became interested, "Then let's talk about it and listen to it."
Li Yan pretended to be enthusiastic and told her some love affairs between Shi Chunfen and Chu Ling. Most of them were half true and half false, and most of them were polished by her. Mrs. Ma didn't know what was going on, so she listened with interest.
At that time, he suddenly asked: "Since my sister and the governor are so loving, why did they end up in such a mess now?"
Li Yan choked up when asked, and her expression became obviously hesitant.
Seeing that she didn't dare to say anything, Mrs. Ma smiled slightly and said: "Don't worry, I don't want to inquire about my sister, I just want to know a little bit more about it, so as not to accidentally poke her when I talk in front of her in the future.
the pain."
This reason was high-sounding and reasonable. Li Yan breathed a sigh of relief and said bluntly: "Don't worry, madam, our grandma is famous for being easy-going. Not to mention that it is difficult for you to poke her where the pain is. Even if you really do,
I guess she won't mind either."
"You can't say that." Mrs. Ma said sincerely: "My sister and I have a sincere friendship, so naturally I don't want to say anything that will make her sad."
Li Yan smiled and did not answer her question.
Seeing that her mouth was not so easy to pry open, Mrs. Ma quickly said: "If it's not convenient for you, forget it. I think my sister has a gentle temper, and I guess she is not a fussy person."
While the two were talking, Shi Chunquin had already prepared vegetarian dishes and brought them up. Just like yesterday, they still used the freshest seasonal ingredients, and her exclusive secret recipe was carefully prepared. Mrs. Ma's tongue almost dropped when she ate it.
.
"My sister's craftsmanship is so good." Mrs. Ma was full of praise while eating. "It's obviously just an ordinary chayote, but I don't know why my sister's cooking is so delicious."
"Then you have to thank Lv Tao." Shi Chunfen said with a smile: "I asked Lv Tao to personally take people to select this chayote. I only picked the tenderest and crispest ones from each melon vine, and then used them quickly.
Ma brought it to Hongque'an and picked it and ate it on the same day. It is naturally more delicious and crispy than the chayote my sister eats on weekdays."
"That's it." Mrs. Ma nodded slightly and said with emotion: "Looking around, in the huge Liuzhou, only your Chu family can put so much effort into food. Even though my family is not short of money, they have never been as attentive to the ingredients as my sister.
.”
"I feel ashamed to say it." Shi Chunfen said bluntly: "Food is the most important thing for the people. There are many people in this world who cannot even guarantee food and clothing, but I am so extravagant. For this reason, my father-in-law has blamed me more than once.
"
She deliberately described herself as a traitor to others, which made Mrs. Ma sigh incessantly, "Everyone in this world has a good thing. Compared with other ladies of the noble family, my sister's hobbies can be called simple. I didn't expect that she would still be criticized. What's more,
You study your cooking skills so carefully just to make them happy, how can they be so ignorant?"
"Sister, what I said really touched my heart." Shi Chunquin grabbed her hands and said excitedly: "Men like them obviously spend more on having fun on weekdays, but they blame me for not being simple enough. It's really chilling.
.”
Mrs. Ma immediately expressed concern: "From what my sister said, you are really walking on thin ice in the Chu family."
"Isn't it?" Shi Chunquin sighed softly: "If it weren't for that, I wouldn't have to take my children to the nunnery to meditate."
Seeing her sad face, Mrs. Ma continued to care: "I can hide for a while, but I can't hide for a lifetime. I wonder what my sister's plans will be in the future?"
"What can we plan?" Shi Chunfen said frankly: "We have already given birth to children, and we have to live our lives. Is it possible that we will really live in the nunnery for the rest of our lives and give up the status we have worked so hard to gain to others?" At this point, she asked
Covering her mouth, she apologized: "I'm sorry, sister, I didn't mean you."
Mrs. Ma smiled bitterly, "I understand."
Probably because she had a good conversation with Shi Chunfen, her wariness was obviously lowered. "Actually, if possible, how could any secular person be willing to live in a nunnery for a long time? But I really don't want to face my parents-in-law, so I
…”
"Sister, you are wrong to think so." Shi Chunquin said bluntly: "It's obviously not you who is wrong, why do you want to hide in seclusion and give up your position to others in vain?"
"But..." Mrs. Ma lowered her head, "I really did nothing. I can't blame others."
"Then will you achieve something by staying in the nunnery?" Shi Chunfen said bluntly: "Sister is still young now. Maybe if you go back and work hard, you will have a chance to conceive a child. Do you really have to wait until you are old to regret it? Don't say
By then, your husband-in-law will already have a new love by his side. Even if he really still has feelings for you, your body will not be able to get pregnant easily again."
Seeing that she had hit the point, Mrs. Ma was obviously a little moved, "But... I have moved out out of anger, and my husband has built a small building nearby to cooperate with me. If I just go back so casually, it will be unavoidable."
It’s too childish.”
Seeing that she just couldn't keep her face down, Shi Chunquin laughed and said, "You can't go back by yourself. Sister, you can ask your husband to beg you to go back!"
"Oh?" Mrs. Ma was slightly startled, "How do you ask for help?"
Shi Chunfen hooked his finger at her and whispered a few words to her. The other party quickly curled up her lips, "I didn't expect that my sister has such a clever trick. I really learned a lesson."
Shi Chunfen was afraid that she would doubt him, so he quickly smiled bitterly and said: "Unfortunately, it is easy to help others, but difficult to help yourself."
Seeing her sad face, Mrs. Ma finally dispelled her doubts and said, "Don't worry, sister. When I return to the Prefect's Mansion in the future, I will definitely look after each other with you and will never let you be bullied."
Shi Chunfen smiled and nodded, "That would be the best."
In fact, the idea given to her by the Equinox at that time was extremely simple. To put it bluntly, it was still a trick. She asked Mrs. Ma to open the window and let the wind blow in all night, making herself feel cold. Then she took a cold shower to aggravate the condition, making her whole person look much sicker.
How haggard you are, and then you bribe the doctor to treat ordinary wind and cold as a chronic disease. If things go on like this, you will probably die soon.
Although Na Ma Buwei is a callous person, he is not heartless. After getting married to Mrs. Ma, they still lived in love for two years. However, the relationship between the couple was consumed by the fact that the other party was childless for a long time and did not get along with his parents-in-law.
Even so, he was still willing to give her enough face. After she moved into the nunnery in anger, he found someone to build a small building nearby and visited her twice a month to show that he had not forgotten his roots.
This time I received news from my servant that Mrs. Ma was seriously ill, so I hurried to see her. When I saw her looking depressed and dying, my past feelings immediately came to mind, and I took Mrs. Ma back by force that night.
She went to the prefect's house and said that she could not be left alone in the nunnery to wait for death.
Mrs. Ma returned to the prefect's mansion smoothly. When the spring equinox was considered successful, she went to say goodbye to Huixin immediately.
Although Hui Xin did not directly intervene in their affairs, she had been paying attention secretly. Seeing that Shi Chun Equinox was now much more vigorous and resolute in her behavior, she couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "We haven't seen each other for more than two years. The eldest mistress is becoming more and more like a mistress of the house."
Already."
Shi Chunfen knew that she was referring to his own methods, and he couldn't help but feel a little ashamed, "Conspiracy and trickery in the pure land of Buddhism have really polluted the place of the Master. I hope the Master will forgive me."
"Hey!" Huixin waved her hand, "The poor nun is not a corrupt person, so I won't blame the madam for this kind of thing, but..."
Seeing that she looked troubled, Shi Chunfen quickly asked: "It's just what?"
It was rare that she wanted to ask for advice, so Huixin smiled and said frankly: "It's just that the way people get along with each other is still based on the word 'sincerity'. The poor nun knew that the grandmother had no ill intentions towards Mrs. Ma, so she secretly helped her."
I hope that grandma will always remember her original purpose and never bring disaster to Chiyu just because of personal grudges."
Shi Chun Equinox was slightly startled and soon understood.
It turned out that the other party was worried that he would accidentally hurt Mrs. Ma when dealing with Jiang Ya, so he issued the warning.
She nodded quickly and promised: "Master, please rest assured that Mrs. Ma is also a poor person. I will never harm her."
After receiving her guarantee, Huixin clasped her hands together and said with a smile: "In that case, the poor nun will not be far away. I hope that grandma and Ling Qianjin will be safe in the future. The poor nun will pray for you day and night in Hongque Nunnery.
.”
Shi Chunfen quickly lowered his head and returned the gift, "Thank you, Master."
Although Huixin helped them without asking for anything in return, Shi Chunfen still donated a large sum of money after bothering Hong Que An for so long, and then she could safely take the glutinous rice balls on the carriage home.
I hope that after this Hong Que An and his party can really resolve the grudge between them and Jiang Ya as soon as possible.
