Bend Over [ 折腰 ] - Chapter 76

[Chapter 75 10]

East House.

Mrs. Zhu sat on the bed with her forehead propped up, her eyes sluggish. In front of her eyes, there was a scene before she sent her son on the trip: the son and his grandmother solemnly bid farewell and respected him. When I said goodbye to myself, I just told her not to worry, just a few words.

Twenty years later, she also knew the old lady’s position in her son’s mind, and She didn’t expect to overpower it.

But before finally leaving, Madame Zhu noticed that his gaze had been falling on Qiao Nu’s face.

The kind of gaze that the son looked at Qiao Nu made Zhu Shi feel anger and loss once again deeply in his heart.

She did not dare to let herself go to Madame Xu. But for the daughter-in-law whose status is naturally not equal to her own, she naturally has no scruples.

Why should a daughter of an enemy even overpower herself over her son?

The more Zhu Shi thought about it, the more angry he became, his headache and his heart and mouth also faintly hurt. The footsteps behind him were close, and when he turned his head, Jiang Mi came.

Jiang Mi sent Zhu Shi a boiled snow clam. Zhu Shi took two sips and then let go.

Jiang Mi advised, “Madame has worked hard these days. Snow clams can’t be more calm, eat more bites.

Zhu Shi pushed the cup away, shook his head, and said, “I really can’t eat anything.” Looking at the woman’s appearance, I felt a tightness in my chest. Jiang Mi

sighed, “Why don’t you feel empathy?” I don’t know what she said to the old lady, but now the old lady is the only one in her eyes. Yesterday, Shi Mi came to complain to the maid that although the Dao Lady Jun had not yet removed her stewardship, she used other people to do things to manage the accounts. It was only a few days before she mobilized Madame’s people. Give her some more time, I’m afraid Madame will have no place to stand. Zhu Shi

was poked in the center of the matter, his heart suddenly jumped, and his face was even more ugly. Han Yancai said, “She has the support of a blind woman, what can I do?” Jiang Mi

glanced back behind her, leaned over and whispered, “Madam, I went to visit Zheng Shu some time ago with Mrs. Rizhao’s words, and when I came back, I couldn’t bear to say something to Mrs. Yu.” Afraid of Madame sadness.

Zhu Shi said, “What?” Speak soon! Jiang Mi

sighed: “When Zheng Shu first returned home, the uncle and mother in the family were afraid of the pressure of the old lady, and hurriedly found a family for her to marry, the husband was rude, did not understand the intimate, and now Zheng Shu is very sad, when she sees me, she cries incessantly.” When I came back, I was afraid that my wife would be sad to hear it, so I did not dare to mention it.

Zhu Shi’s face showed heartache: “I killed my niece!” Jiang Mi

said, “What’s the matter with Mrs. Gan?” Zheng Shu mentioned madame, still grateful. Only mention…”

She paused and hissed in the direction of the WestInghouse, “Mentioning the one in that room is full of hatred.”

Zhu Shi gritted his teeth and said, “I don’t hate it!” What a way to go! Jiang Mi’s

eyes moved slightly: “It’s not impossible.” It depends on the lady you can’t get off the hand.

Zhu Shiyi: “What law?”

Jiang Mi whispered, “The Great Witch is the law of witchcraft.” I have heard that as long as the eight characters of the birthday are obtained to make a puppet, and the great witch casts a spell and complains enough, in ten days and a half months, his person will surely die of a violent illness, and what is even better is that there is no special situation, and others will never have any doubts. Zhu Shi

was shocked: “You told me to kill Qiao Nu?” Jiang Mi

hurriedly knelt down: “Madame forgive the sin!” The is just out of a moment of anger and gibberish! If the lady can’t bear it, the bento maid didn’t say it!

Zhu Shi waved his hand: “I don’t blame! She was distraught and had difficulty deciding. Breathing gradually became short, and his face turned red and white. For a moment, I felt that Jiang Mi’s plan was very much in line with her wishes. Thinking about it, I felt trembling and trembling, and did not dare to start.

Jiang Mi looked at her face and whispered, “Madam, it’s not a’s mouth.” The Qiao family already had a feud with the lady who did not share the heavens, and the hatred could not be divided into the heroic spirit of the first lord and the first lord in the heavens. Mrs. Tzu Chi, instead of being grateful to Madame, Qiao Nu went against her everywhere. Only madame could tolerate her in this way, but she was forced to retreat step by step.

Zhu Shi squeezed his palm violently, his nails sinking deep into the flesh of his palm, and gritted his teeth: “What you said is not unreasonable!” I will give in again, only to be afraid of letting her finally force her into a dead end! Jiang Mi said, “It’s

not that Madame won’t tolerate her, it’s just revenge for the first master who died that day!” When Zhu Shi

thought of the pain of losing his husband and son that day, his heart was like a knife, and he turned his face to look at Jiang Mi: “How to do this matter, can it be proper?” Jiang Mi

pressed and whispered, “It is not a secret, this plan is not made by a, but Zheng Shu’s intention.” If the lady agreed, the maid would go out of the house again, and entrust the matter to Zheng Shu, and let her do it secretly, so as to hide her eyes and ears. If it really works, it will never make people suspect that the lady is here! When Zhu Shi

heard that it was his niece, he felt more concentric, so he no longer hesitated. He nodded, “That’s very good.” In these two days, you will take another trip when you see an opportunity, take my words with you, and tell her to be careful and not to give a handle to others.

Jiang Mi responded.

……

In the south of the city near the city gate, there are people with the surname Liu. Although the ancestors are not obvious, small doors and small households, but the family has three houses, 100 acres of land, and there is no shortage of slaves in the family. Last year, the son was recommended by the local government because of his filial piety, and he became the main keeper in the nearby Chang County Mansion, and he was also an innocent and honest family who was inferior to the top and more than the bottom.

Half a year ago, a matchmaker came to the door to act as a matchmaker and told the niece of a family surnamed Zheng to the son of the Liu family. The parents of the Liu family heard that although Zheng Shu’s parents had died, she had an aunt who was the head of the family of the Prince of Wei. Before Zheng Shu returned home, she lived in the Wei mansion for many years. Although I don’t know why Zheng Shu didn’t marry at an older age, she has now returned to the Zheng family alone. However, if he could take this opportunity to climb the relatives of the Wei Mansion, he could not manage it for a while, and instead of hesitating for a moment, he felt that his family was climbing high, and at that time he agreed to the marriage. Three months later, Zheng Shu entered the door. The parents of the Liu family saw that Zheng Shu had an outstanding appearance and a rich dowry, and their hearts were happy, and because of her relationship with the Wei family, even if they dared to put up an elderly shelf in front of her, they were eager to be careful to enshrine it. The son of the Liu family loves his newly married wife, Maung-so, and is also pleased.

The Liu family originally thought that the heavens had sent a good relationship, and they had a good in-law. But wanwan did not expect that in less than half a month, Zheng Shu began to change her face, and every day she was not disgusted with the coarse diet and difficult to swallow, so she punished the slave for being clumsy and serving poorly. The Liu family’s parents at first endured, thinking that she was used to living in the Wei mansion and marrying into her own family, which she could not get used to for a while, which was also the common sentiment of people, and she was more careful about supply. Who thinks that Zheng Shu ate Ding Liu family did not dare to do anything to themselves, the resentment and dissatisfaction of being expelled from the Wei mansion in the past were all vented to the husband’s family, and after some time, not only did they scold the domestic servants at every turn, but even the in-laws also bumped up, as for the husband, they were even more sneering and sneering, scolding him for uselessness, sleeping with him when the room came to sleep, and not letting him go to bed behind closed doors when disgusted. Now at this time, the Liu family’s parents regret it. Hate that he coveted wealth and sowed bitter fruit. That Zheng Shu moved out of the Wei Mansion’s main mother to suppress people at every turn, even if she dared to do it, don’t think about it. As for the son of the Liu family, now he is even more afraid of his wife like a tiger, so he simply avoids going to the county and does not come back a few times a month, and the family has become Zheng Shu’s world.

This day has been three o’clock in the morning, Zheng Shu was drunk last night, and slept until this time to wake up. When they got up lazily and were waiting to comb their hair, the parents of the Liu family outside saw a green felt mule car parked at the door, and an old woman came down from the car, her legs and feet were slightly limp, and she recognized that it was a decent old woman who had come to Wei Mansion a few days ago, and did not dare to be sluggish, and hurried out to greet her. Where there are Liu family parents in Jiang Mi’s eyes, but she lightly took a look at her face, and she entered like her own family. In the room, Zheng Shu heard that Jiang Mi was coming, showed joy, and busied herself to welcome her into the room, asked the servant woman to offer tea and fruit, and smiled: “A few days ago, Am fang came to see me, and I still don’t know when I can meet again next time!”

Jiang Mi smiled and giggled a few words, and threw her eyes at her. Zheng Shu knew that she should have something to say, so she withdrew from the room, closed the door tightly, and asked: “Ammu went and returned, but there is a word?” Jiang Mi

beckoned her to her side, whispered a little, Zheng Shu listened, her face changed slightly, and when she hesitated, Jiang Mi said: “This is Madame’s instruction.” madamNow she is suffering from The Sorrows of Qiao and has no choice but to do so. It is only because of the inconvenience of coming forward and treating you as a caring person that he secretly entrusted this matter to you. You think, if you hadn’t been victimized by that Qiao woman in the past, how could you have been expelled from the Wei Mansion, and now you have married such a ruined family? He said, looking around the room with disdainful eyes.

Zheng Shu was touched by his heart and gritted his teeth: “What Ammu said is extremely true!” Jiang Mi

smiled and said, “Madame said that as long as this matter is done, how many golden veils will come out.” When I came back, my wife gave me some convenience money first. He said and took a money bag from his pocket and untied it, revealing gold cakes.

Zheng Shu originally hated Qiao Nu. Forced to marry into the Liu family, originally thought that this life was like this, did not expect that the aunt suddenly designed to get rid of Qiao Nu, was casting her heart, and sent her confidant Jiang Mi to let her do things, is there no way? After thinking about it for a while, he made up his mind and said, “I’ll take the money first, and I’ll use it there.” The witch easily refused to take a shot. Fortunately, I used to have some friendship with her, and I asked for it, but maybe it became. You go back and wait for the news.

Jiang Mi rejoiced. The two of them each told each other not to leak the wind, whispered and conspired repeatedly, and after agreeing, Zheng Shu sent Jiang Mi out without incident.

……

Wei Shao sent his troops to leave Yuyang, and three days passed in the blink of an eye.

Without Wei Shao, Xiao Qiao did not have the duty of serving her husband, and her movement was much freer. During these three days, except for some household affairs that she had to deal with, she went to the North House in the morning when she opened her eyes, and waited until Mrs. Xu went to bed in the evening, and then returned.

This evening, Mrs. Xu took the medicine, and before resting, she smiled and told Little Qiao not to guard herself like this tomorrow.

Xiao Qiao said, “When Fu Jun went out on the expedition, the West House was empty, and it was not interesting for me to stay there alone.” Better to come here to spend time with grandmother. I was afraid that my grandmother would think that I was clumsy and would get in the way.
Madame
Xu shook her head and smiled, “How?” Grandmother wished you had been with me all the time. I’m afraid you’re struggling too hard. And accompanying me, this old woman, really has no meaning, I know in my heart.

Xiao Qiao smiled and said, “Grandmother Kind Face, I am only close enough, how can it be boring?” When my grandmother is cured, then I will not have to be chased by my grandmother, and I will be lazy myself. When the time comes, I hope my grandmother will not be blamed. Zhong

Mi said, “The lady is filial piety.” And that’s how it should be. The old lady didn’t have to be distressed. When you are well, you will go back with a few more pains.
Madame
Xu smiled and said, “That’s it.” When my grandchildren are not there, I will enjoy the blessings of my granddaughter-in-law.

Xiao Qiao helped her lie down, and after she was placed, she accompanied her, and saw that she gradually fell asleep, so she got up and was sent out by Zhong Mi. Back in my own Westinghouse, I also felt tired. I took a hot bath in the bathing room, got dressed, and sat alone in front of the lamp.

It’s a little late. The hustle and bustle of the day faded away. The vast Wei mansion also fell into the tranquility of the night.

Xiao Qiao slowly wiped his long hair dry by himself, and when he was out of his mind, suddenly Chunniang came in and said a word in his ear. Little Joe asked her to bring someone in. After a few moments, Huang Mi of the East House entered in a veiled manner, entered the door, and greeted Xiao Qiao.

Little Joe spared her courtesy and gave way again. Huang Mi even said that she did not dare.

Xiao Qiao smiled and said, “Chunniang said you have something to say?” Huang Mi

stepped forward and whispered, “In the past few days, when the maid has received the order of the female prince, she will always pay attention to the actions of the lady and the ginger concubine.” This afternoon, the lady went to sleep, and Jiang Mi changed her clothes and quietly left the house through the back door, without taking a car or taking anyone with her. Seeing that the appearance was suspicious, she quietly followed. Does the lady know where she went?

Huang Mi paused. Seeing Xiao Qiao cast his gaze, he whispered, “She went to a large mansion with a high wall in the west of the city, and when I followed her, I saw her flash in the back door, as if someone was waiting inside, and the person immediately disappeared.” I didn’t have the convenience of getting close, just waiting far behind. Less than a cup of tea kung fu, I saw her sneak out and hurried back to the house. The more I thought about it, the more strange I felt, remembering the instructions of the lady, and I came to pray.

Little Joe asked, “Do you know who that family is?” Huang Mi

said, “She has been in Yuyang for decades and knows some things.” It seems to be the residence of a widow surnamed Li.

Little Joe told her to describe the location address clearly. After carefully interrogating, he saw that there should be no omission, and asked Chunniang to hand Huang Mi a reward. Huang Mi pushed off a few times and took over, grateful.

Little Joe smiled and said, “Ammu did a good job today.” Don’t leak the wind when you go back. If there is any change, let me know. Huang Mi

hurriedly said, “I don’t dare to be loved by the female monarch.” The maid only wants to serve the maid. So the maid returned first, so as not to be detected.

Little Joe nodded with a smile. When Huang Mi went, she groaned for a moment and asked Chunniang, “You helped me send a letter out the day before yesterday, is that person still there?”

ChunNiang said, “It should still be there.” I listened to the meaning of the Lang Jun’s words, Yuyang seemed to have his old friends, and wanted to visit his friends for a few more days and return after some time. When

Chunniang finished, she saw that Xiao Qiao was silent, as if she was thinking of something, at first she didn’t dare to disturb it, but then she really couldn’t help it, and asked: “If you have a mind to see the lady of the maid these days.” What the hell is going on? Why did you ask about the whereabouts of that Lang Jun? The

“Lang Jun” in ChunNiang’s mouth was the person who had sent a letter to Yuyang a few days ago. Big Qiao also mentioned in the letter, saying that the man’s name was Zong Jie, who was originally a son of the Xuzhou family, and Had a vendetta against Xue Tai for generations, and when he was a child, his family was broken, he had to worship gao ren to learn martial arts, and the teenager was a ranger, and the sword traveled around. A few months ago, he returned to Xuzhou and assassinated Xue Tai unsuccessfully, and when he was injured and in distress, he was saved by Bi Yan. Ranger has always made a promise, and the two feel sorry for each other, and Zong Ji immediately swears to serve in return for saving his life. It was learned that his husband and wife wanted to send a letter north to Yuyang, saying that when they were young, they had also traveled far away, and Yuyang still had one or two old friends. Willing to deliver letters on your behalf.

In today’s chaotic world, the road is full of dangers and obstacles, and the communication between the north and the south is even more difficult. I don’t know how many people’s books were lost on the road. Dezong Ji promised that Big Qiao immediately wrote a family letter and asked him to send it to Ah Mei’s hand.

Big Qiao also mentioned in the letter, saying that if there is a reply, he is also assured to bring it back. It was a day ago that Xiao Qiao wrote a reply and asked Chunniang to send it to the inn where Zong Ji lived.

At this moment, listening to Chunniang ask herself, Xiao Qiao groaned for a moment and said, “Tomorrow you will accompany me and go to see that Lang Jun together.” I have something to ask him for. ”
