Qi Yueniang shook her head repeatedly, "Of course I won't make it public, but I'm afraid she has bad intentions. Father may not be able to return home until winter. If she causes trouble during this period, how can I control her!"
If she didn't get into trouble, she would have to bear the consequences herself in the future if she violated her father's strict orders in private.
I'm afraid of getting into trouble and bringing harm to myself and Qin Ge'er. They are an orphan and a widow. If they really get into trouble, who can they rely on?
Lan Xiang was still in shock, "Madam, I see that the Crown Prince's wife has always respected you and treated Qin'er well. I'm afraid she won't bring trouble to us."
On the contrary——
"She doesn't get along with the Fourth Young Master's wife, but the Fourth Young Master's wife doesn't interact with her much. I guess she missed the old lady and went in to visit her."
Qi Yueniang closed her eyes and opened them again.
"Doctor Zhang comes to me every month to tell me that the old lady is in good health and her temper is as violent as ever. She not only tells me these things, but also tells the second son's family and the two brothers. What is she missing?"
Qi Yueniang sensed something was wrong, but she couldn't go to ask.
After all, she didn't catch him in the act, so she instructed Lanxiang to pay more attention to what was happening in Xiao Yinxiu's room.
Lanxiang responded in a low voice.
In the evening, as the sun sets, it becomes increasingly chilly.
Qi Yueniang hastily ate half a bowl of pearl rice, feeling uneasy. At this moment, Qin Ge'er came in to pay his respects and said that he was going to play with his two younger brothers at his second uncle's house.
In that case, mother and daughter will go together.
When they arrived at the gate of Xiao Yinxiu's courtyard, they heard Ling'er and Huan'er playing. When they heard Qin'er calling, the two brothers ran out.
"Big brother!"
The three brothers were very close. Qi Yue Niang suppressed her doubts and called Shuang Yue, "Where is your wife? Is she ready for dinner?"
Shuang Yue hurried over to greet them, "Madam, please come in. My wife is still having dinner."
"It's only been an hour, you maids, persuade her to eat when the time comes, don't delay, or it will hurt her body."
After hearing the voice, Xiao Yinxiu's voice came from inside the room.
"Sister-in-law, come in quickly."
Hearing the voice, he was about to come out to greet her, but Qi Yueniang had already walked in quickly, "Hurry up and sit down, I'll be in soon."
She walked around the screen and came to the dining table. Gao and Aunt Qiao were serving on the side. When they saw her come in, they all greeted her.
Qi Yue Niang asked about the two sisters' situation with a friendly face.
After some pleasantries, Xiao Yinxiu got bored and sent them away, "You guys go eat, my sister-in-law is here, let's talk for a while."
Gao and Aunt Qiao bowed and took their leave.
After hearing this, Xiao Yinxiu told Shuangyue, "Bring a wine cup for your eldest young lady, and we two sisters will have one cup each."
Qi Yueniang waved her hands repeatedly, "I just put down my bowl and chopsticks. Qin Ge'er was worried about Ling Ge'er and his brother, so we agreed to come to your room and sit for a while."
Xiao Yinxiu softened her voice, "My dear sister-in-law, just think of it as accompanying me for a meal."
Seeing this behavior, Qi Yueniang sighed in her heart and immediately agreed. After watching the maids leave, she sighed in a low voice, "Why have you lost so much weight these days?"
Xiao Yinxiu lowered his eyes, his face pale.
"I asked a doctor to take a look, and it turned out to be nothing serious. I'm just afraid it's the autumn chill that's chilling my internal organs, and I'm a little bit disappointed with my appetite."
Shuangyue and Lanxiang moved swiftly and brought out white porcelain wine cups with gold painting, a set of plain white bowls and plates, and a pair of ebony and silver chopsticks.
He poured wine and served soup and quickly arranged everything for Qi Yueniang.
Seeing that Xiao Yinxiu seemed to be in a very good mood, Qi Yueniang raised her wine cup and said, "Come on, come on, come on. It's rare that you are in a good mood today, so I will drink a few more cups with you."
Xiao Yinxiu thanked him and they drank together.
"Sister-in-law has sharp eyes and sharp eyes. She had a lot of arguments with the prince a few days ago, which caused the whole house to be filled with smoke and miasma. If she said she was not uncomfortable, it would be a lie to deceive people."
Qi Yueniang asked tentatively, "What good thing did you encounter today? Why don't you tell me so that I can have some fun too."
Xiao Yinxiu's eyes lit up slightly, "People, in just a moment, a split second, suddenly figure things out."
She pointed to the direction where the concubines lived next to her, "Although the prince has had affairs with many women, only Qiao'er has a sister and Gao is favored, but they know some etiquette in front of me and dare not overstep the line. In this case, why should I be angry with the prince? I should take good care of myself and be comfortable with my sisters."
"now it's right!"
Qi Yueniang patted the back of her hand gently, "You and the prince are an old couple. Even if you quarrel, you shouldn't get angry because of the prince. Without saying anything else, just look at the two brothers, they are getting more sensible day by day, which one of them is not your blessing?"
Xiao Yinxiu nodded repeatedly.
"Now that my eldest sister-in-law is the housekeeper, the burden is off my shoulders. My uncle's original intention was to let me cultivate my character. If I can take this opportunity to have another child, it would be better than having only Ling and Huan."
Xiao Yinxiu spoke in a very broad and open manner, and Qi Yueniang agreed with him a little.
I thought to myself, with this kind of personality, can I really think clearly?
If it weren't for the two uncles' help, how could the power of the housekeeper be so smooth? How could Qi Yueniang forget Xiao Yinxiu's attitude of avoiding her at that time?
The more urgent it is, the more she avoids it.
Whoops!
Now Xiao Yinxiu's words made perfect sense, Qi Yueniang could only nod, "Good sister, if you really think so, it's good. I am just temporarily in charge of these household affairs. Apart from other things, with my status, many things can only be done by you, Xiu."
Qi Yue Niang has been a widow for many years and has had a lot of social interactions. It's okay for funerals, but for weddings, some families would also avoid it unless they are close relatives.
Xiao Yinxiu sighed, "Sister-in-law, I won't say a word to you. Let the fourth family take over from now on."
puff!
Qi Yue Niang personally poured wine for Xiao Yinxiu, "You should count on Guan Zhou. She has never liked the housekeeper. These things are nothing."
"She should learn these things, too. When the fourth son is sent out to serve as an official, will she no longer be in charge of the family?"
"Speaking of the two of you, you can hardly get together to say three words on weekdays, but the honeysuckle that went out before you made it even more difficult to deal with in Shaohua Garden."
As everyone knows, all the big and small things inside and outside Shaohuayuan now depend on Rendong.
When Xiao Yinxiu heard this, she was startled, and then she sighed, "She was a capable maidservant in front of me before. If she had not been so stupid, she would have saved the prince's face. Now I would not have treated her badly and given birth to a child..."
"A Xiu, it's true that you feel sorry for her, but it's just that Ren Dong doesn't have this blessing."
"Now I feel sorry for her. The fourth family doesn't care about anything, and everything depends on her--"
Qi Yue Niang smiled faintly and said no more.
In the past, Xiao Yinxiu forced a maidservant into a difficult situation and almost caused her to commit suicide. Everyone in the mansion knew about this.
