Who Cares

Chapter 59: Branch

Dividing the two mansions between the east and the west is only the first step for Guan Suyi to clear the relationship with the Hou Mansion. In this life, she is not a harlot who has lost her virginity, but a high-ranking lady in the house. Who dares to neglect her? Wouldn’t it be fun to eat and drink outside, and to go out to explore the mountains and rivers from time to time?

Thinking of this, she finally took a pleasurable look at Zhao Luli, and said, "In that case, please invite Lord Hou to bring in the younger brothers and sisters. Let's settle the matter of the branch office."

Zhao Luli’s long follow-up listened to the increasingly faint future, so why did the Ye family want to squeeze their monthly silver, house, food, and clothes? Isn't Hou Ye treated them generous enough in the past? People can't be rascal to this degree! Lord Hou was also confused, and just as his wife said, why not rent a house for them outside? I have to get into the house and get smoky all over. After a long time, he doesn't want to stay in the East Mansion. What if he thinks of a way to deploy to the West Mansion?

Not only was the elder follower upset, but the maids who served Zhao Chunxi and Zhao Wangshu also had a gloomy face, and they had secretly wondered how to transfer to the West Palace. The East Palace couldn't live this day. Because of this, when Zhao Luli left to invite the second wife, he shouted several times before a woman came forward to take the order.

A quarter of an hour later, a string of screams came from outside, mixed with words such as "Ghost, Rakshasa is coming", followed by a ping-pong scream, and another groaning and moaning. Who is Xu in panic? Knocked down tables and chairs and caused a mess.

Thinking of his wife’s usual attitude of neither compassion nor disgust when she saw her younger brothers and sisters, and seeing the embarrassment of Ye’s family panicking and shouting, Zhao Luli’s face flushed with embarrassment, and gradually began to doubt that he was right to take them home for resettlement. Is wrong. Just this tutor, just this style of doing things, I'm afraid that the Hou Mansion will never be peaceful, but he is already riding a tiger and has to deal with it.

After a while, Ruan Shi pulled Mu Mu into the inner hall with a frightened face, his head drooped, his face was covered with his hands, and he whispered, "Master Hou, I just couldn't help but scared the pampered guests outside your house."

Zhao Luli had no self-confidence and waved his hand quickly, "They are rude. I should apologize to my younger siblings, and ask my younger siblings to forgive me."

Nguyen pulled his lips reluctantly, and took a few steps forward to bow to his mother-in-law and sister-in-law. There was no more thorn in the voice, "Mother-in-law, sister-in-law, why are you looking for me?" She didn't admit her birth, she walked to Guan Suyi's side, put two short hands on her knees, opened her mouth wide, and made a turning "ah" sound.

Guan Suyi's cold face finally couldn't hold back, and he smiled low, and immediately looked at his throat, and said with satisfaction, "It's only two days before the swelling has disappeared. It's very good. Can you eat hard things?"

Nguyen said with a smile, "In fact, that night was much better. The next day I dragged me to beg for food. I thought he was very hungry. It's hard for him to be sick for so long and still not say a word. He usually feeds him so much. Very rarely, I don’t know how painful it is to swallow those vegetables and meat."

"This is a child who can bear it, and he will have a future. However, he can't bear it blindly, and he has to know how to fight, so he must learn to speak. The younger brothers and sisters don't need to worry, I will teach him slowly." Guan Suyi tentatively He picked up a piece of cake and coaxed, "Mu Mu, come into your mother's arms, and mother will feed you cakes."

Mu Mu hesitated for a while and slipped into her stepmother's arms. He didn't dare to bite the cakes. He only looked at it with her dark black eyes, turning Guan Suyi's heart into perspective, and held it to his lips while holding it with her hand. Hold his small chin so that the cake scraps don't fall into the skirt of his clothes.

If she is really good to anyone, the water-like tenderness can almost overflow from the gorgeous eyebrows, as if the whole person is exuding a shimmer, so that people can't move their eyes, and are deeply attracted. Mu Mu loves the sweet, beautiful and powerful, and very amiable stepmother, with a short hand secretly wrapped around her arm, and then she went to bite the cake.

Zhao Wangshu was dumbfounded, and suddenly opened his head fiercely, his eyes red. It turns out that the stepmother has not only a strict side, but also a gentle side, just like the mother in his imagination. It's just that she won't treat him like that. She didn't like him, she could feel it from the beginning.

Zhao Luli also sighed with emotion, saying that if he hadn't hurt his wife, the wife would have taken care of Wangshu and Xi'er in the same way. What did he do to break a good home to pieces, hoping that there will be a chance for compensation in the future, and finally remembered the conversation between the two men, and then he asked his mother what happened to Mu Mu, and was severely reprimanded. Fan.

Guan Suyi and Ruan Shi listened in silence, did not interrupt, and waited for the old lady to let out a sigh of anger before they began to talk about business. Nguyen had already bored the Ye family. He heard that he was going to open up the West House in the name of his husband and had to live alone with his sister-in-law and mother-in-law. Everyone agreed that the old lady would personally pay for the construction of the wall, and immediately asked the steward to recruit the craftsmen.

Seeing the mother who was eager to get rid of the Ye family, Zhao Luli had a wry smile. When the maid collected the map and cleaned the table, he poured a cup of hot tea with his own hands. I have taken a lot of heart, if it weren’t for you to keep in mind, this home would not be sure what it would be like, and I don’t care about everything, but I often rebel against you and make you angry. Your migraine headache is probably because of me. The son is not filial, and I don’t know if it’s too late to be compensated. I’m really sorry to think about it! If my son enters the palace tomorrow to make a plea, if you can’t get out of your body, you will live with your wife in the West House. Well done. My son also has some properties, and they will be handed over to you, so that you won’t worry about your livelihood in the future."

Is this a last word? The old lady snorted in her heart, her heart was broken, but she couldn't help reconciling with her son, and snorted coldly, "I'm dim-eyed and lack energy. How can I take care of that for you. Why don't you give it to your wife?"

"Give it to her, would she take it?" Zhao Luli smiled bitterly. He wasn't really blind, he just didn't dare to face everything around him. The wife even had to tear away from the Hou Mansion for food and clothing, unlike Ruan Shi, who called her mother-in-law one by one, calling only the old lady, showing that she had never regarded herself as the Zhao family. But she can't be blamed for this. Think about the things that you have done, who can have no complaints? Who can be willing to live and suffer? She is an arrogant Guan family, and a very vulgar woman, not to be contemptuous, not to be negligent, and not to be bullied.

Guan Suyi pursed her lips and didn't speak.

The room fell into a dead silence, and the awkward atmosphere permeated for a long time before hearing the old lady say coldly, "You temporarily store the account books and other things in the main yard, and then take them back after you return home safely. If you can't pass this hurdle, you don't need you. Explain, I will also hand over the property to Suyi. I can rest assured of her ability. She can support you both!"

Zhao Luli finally smiled briskly, and agreed, "Mother is right, Madam is indeed capable, we can rest assured that we hand over the house to her. So my son will settle in Yefu's family and will not let them disturb you before the branch is divided. ."

The old lady nodded irresponsibly, and sighed faintly until her son had left the inner hall with a son and a daughter, her eyes were wet and red.

There was a faint voice from outside, and there seemed to be joyful cheers. Then he heard his son admonish him, “The main courtyard, the main house, and the second house, you’d better not set foot on weekdays. In other people’s homes, you must abide by the rules of other people’s homes. If anyone has a bad heart and loses anything in the three rooms, I have the right to count it on that person, and I must report to the official to deal with it." The overtone is-whoever disobeys will be given a name for theft and sent to jail. , The attitude is very tough.

Suddenly outside was quiet for a while, and then there was a mixture of arguing and frightened apology, and then slowly went away.

The old lady held her forehead and shed tears, joy and sorrow. The happy thing is that my son really wakes up; the sad thing is that he has fallen into the quagmire a long time ago, and I don't know if he can come out all the time. For the Guan family, and for the daughter-in-law, she did not resent her. Without these heavy hammers, her son would probably be confused for a lifetime. It would be better to do it all over again as it is now.

Zhao Luli finally settled the Ye family, turned his head to find that his daughter was still behind him, with a worried expression on his face. His eyes dimmed, and he took his daughter to the study to talk.

"Daddy, what will happen to you when you enter the palace tomorrow?" Will you go to prison? But at the end of the sentence, she dared not ask.

"Daddy doesn't know what will happen, and it depends on how the emperor decides." Zhao Luli thought about it, "Xie'er, take advantage of no one now. Father should give you a few words. I hope you will grow up soon and stop thinking about it. I’ve always known how your relationship is with your mother. When you first saw that she saved you from the cold and helpless, you thought she fits your mother’s imagination, crying and screaming Asked her to come to the Hou Mansion, and when I asked for the imperial decree of marriage, you found that she was rigid and uncomfortable, so she didn't show up on her face, but embarrassed her everywhere. Xi'er, dad knows all these things and can do it. Understand your feelings. But you have to understand that not everyone in the world has to revolve around you, and not everything can be to your liking. If you continue to behave like in the past, your mother will not allow you, and daddy and me too Can't indulge you anymore. Have you seen your grandfather? He is the best example."

Zhao Chunxi's face was pale and speechless for a long while.

Zhao Luli sighed, “Don’t resent your mother either, everything has nothing to do with her, and even more with the Guan family. The new emperor teacher is the Yushi, and he must stand up for his prestige. The Ye family is no more than a springboard in his eyes, and the emperor It is the real stepping stone. How much risk do you think he has to take to impeach the emperor, and how much pressure? , Every dignitaries who offend will become his reminder in the future. But he has to do it, and he has to do it well, just because the Holy Order is hard to violate, because the world belongs to the emperor, and all of us have to listen to him. The Guan family is great. They don’t think of suffering, but rather proud of it. They are willing to sacrifice their lives for righteousness and dedication. They will surely stay in history and pass on for generations. Your mother comes from such a family, and her character is free from dirt and righteousness. If I can't come back alive, you will ask her with Wangshu, listen to her, and respect her sincerely. The reputation of the Guan family is good, and she is good at heart, and you will not leave you alone."

"Daddy, don't tell me!" Zhao Chunxi threw himself into his father's arms and started to cry.

However, Zhao Luli had to explain clearly, "If you don’t say how it can be done, there is always something in the world. The Guan family is right, it is your outside family that is wrong. I can’t tell you what your grandfather did, you just need to know, He pleaded guilty and died without being wronged. You don’t need to feel grudges or even hatred against your mother because of his tragic death. You must know that the family has family rules, the state laws, and even the emperor has to bear criminal responsibility for violating the state laws. What are the others? Under the imperial power, you are all ants. You can stay away from the court and live steadily. Don’t follow the example of the Ye family’s admiration of vanity and clinging to the powerful. Your brother is spoiled and can’t do things in the brain. Neither I nor your grandmother can care. Live with him, but he listens to you the most. If you say that your mother is good, he expects me to marry her; if you say that your mother is not good, he immediately avoids her and goes against her. You must not mislead him in the future and talk about you more. Mother’s kind words, teach him to get close to her. If your mother is happy and willing to cultivate him wholeheartedly, he will have a good future. Your daughter’s family may not know the way Guan’s teaches people, but you look forward to it, now Those who can speak, except for the prime minister, are the emperor and his disciples. With such a strong backing, you will have no worries in your life."

When the words fell, he burst into tears, and sighed, "Don't blame your father for being incompetent, he used to smash the battlefield back then, but God's will make people... You only need to know that your father, I am not really confused, and It’s not really cowardly, but it’s just that you have to act like this in order to protect our family. Daddy is gone, you should be a little confused when things happen, don’t be aggressive, let alone try to climb up. Yes, your mother..."

He couldn't speak anymore, and cried bitterly while holding his daughter.

Zhao Chunxi was at a loss and despair, but there were no more tears. What did the mother do? Why is she so beautiful, but all she has left to others is endless pain and bleakness?
