Does the villain stepmother have a headache again today!

When Ruan Tao got off the carriage, the city guard and his wife were already waiting outside the mansion, "Ma'am!"

"Cheng Shou, Cheng Shou's wife, I'm bothering you." Ruan Tao supported Mama He with one hand, held the hem of the skirt with the other, and greeted Cheng Shou and Cheng Shou's wife while getting off the carriage.

"I didn't expect such a big incident to happen to the Hou's mansion tonight. Right now, I can only invite the old lady. The lady and the children in the mansion will stay in the mansion first, and we will talk about it after tonight."

After Cheng Shou finished speaking, Cheng Shou's wife quickly reached out to help Ruan Tao, "Madam, please slow down."

The matter of the Zhu family happened earlier, when facing Ruan Tao, Mrs. Cheng Shou felt a little uneasy.

Although Zhu's whereabouts are unknown at the moment, Chengshou's wife is worried, but Chengshou's wife is also worried about Ruan Tao's attitude.

Even though the funeral of the Nanping Hou Mansion has been completed, Nanping Hou died in battle, and the Hou Mansion lost its pillars, but the emaciated camel is bigger than a horse!

The title of the Marquis Mansion will be inherited by the second son of the mansion in the future!

That Huicheng is still a fiefdom under the jurisdiction of the Nanping Marquis Mansion!

Chengshou's wife was of course worried that what happened to the Zhu family earlier would leave a grudge on Ruan Tao.

The old lady is a well-known hands-off shopkeeper, and the second son is still young. The Yang family in Hexi is not the same as the Ruan family in Antang. Therefore, even if the second son inherits the title, the Hou Mansion will probably be the same for a long time in the future. Mrs. Hou Ruan Tao has the final say.

Offending Ruan Tao is tantamount to offending the Marquis of Nanping.

From then on, life in the City Guard's Mansion will not be easy...

Therefore, even if Zhu's whereabouts are unknown at the moment, Chengshou's wife must come to meet Ruan Tao first, and the other things can only be postponed.

Ruan Tao got out of the carriage first, followed by Fu Changyun.

Just now Zhu Ma was already waiting at the side of the carriage, and when Madam got out of the carriage, Fifth Young Master showed his head.Zhu Ma also stretched out her hand, and led Fu Changyun down who came out behind his wife.

Although Zhu Ma's temperament is careless, there is delicateness hidden in her prudence.

For example, seeing the sleepy look of the fifth young master, Mama Zhu knew that someone had fallen asleep in the carriage just now.

The fifth son lacks a sense of security, so he likes to be next to people when he is sleepy, tired, tired, or in a bad mood.

Only my wife was in the carriage just now.

That should be, sleeping next to his wife...

Zhu Ma was a little surprised.

But in the accident, it should be expected to bring a little more.

For example, when the wife dragged the fifth son out of the Hou's mansion, the fifth son was still fighting with all his teeth and claws, even though he looked unhappy and unhappy.

But Zhu Ma knew that someone was very happy in her heart, otherwise she would have broken free and run away like a loach.

Zhu Ma didn't poke it.

"Are you sleepy?" Zhu Ma asked him.

The groundhog nodded.

Although the groundhog screamed just now, after the scream, his eyes were still sleepy.

Zhu Ma picked him up.

He leaned on Zhu Ma's shoulder.

The madam was greeting the city guard with the city guard's wife, and Zhu Ma hugged Fu Zhuangzhuang and waited a little behind the madam.

Fu Zhuangzhuang leaned on Zhu Ma's shoulder, feeling sleepy, but still opened his eyes to look at Ruan Tao's back, and listened carefully to Ruan Tao's words.

At the other carriage, Li Ma also helped Fu Maoquan get off the carriage.

Fu Aiquan and Li Ma also stepped forward, right behind Ruan Tao.

After the city guard and his wife exchanged greetings with Ruan Tao, they happened to see Zhu's mother hugging Fu Changyun, and Li's mother followed Fu Maoquan.

Fu Wuquan blessed the city guard and his wife, "I have met the city guard, the city guard's wife."

The city guard stroked his beard and nodded in greeting.

Chengshou's wife smiled gently, "Miss is getting more and more provocative. In this city of Huicheng, if she stops here, the noble ladies of other aristocratic families will be eclipsed."

"Madam is ridiculous." Fu Wuquan said softly.

"Fifth Young Master must be sleepy here." Chengshou's wife was concerned about Fu Changyun's place again.

Fu Changyun was sleepy, hugged by Zhu Ma, and said softly, "Hello Cheng Shou, Mrs. Cheng Shou."

Ruan Tao sighed in his heart.

Well, in front of outsiders, the stubbornness just now is gone.

Chengshou's wife hurriedly said, "Look at me, I'm too busy talking. I'm tired and tired today. Madam, Eldest Miss, Fifth Young Master, go to the mansion to rest first, and we'll talk about other things tomorrow."

"Alright.

"Ruan Tao spoke, and the city guard's wife accompanied Ruan Tao into the mansion.

Today, there was another fire in the city, and another accident happened in the Wen residence, so the city guard couldn't go home.

After welcoming Ruan Tao, the city guard went on to deal with these two matters, which probably took him all night, and only the city guard's wife could take care of the affairs of the mansion first.

Chengshou got into the carriage and left the mansion, Ruan Tao, Fu Maoquan, Fu Changyun entered the Chengshou's mansion together with Chengshou's wife.

It was late at night, the old lady, Fu Changge, Fu Sisi and Tuanzi all rested first.

Chengshou's wife directly led Ruan Tao and the others to their respective residences.

Although the city guard's mansion is not small, it can't compare to the scene of the Marquis' mansion in Nanping, except for the servants, guards, and rough envoys who stay near the Marquis' mansion to fight the fire and wait to clean up the mess, they just follow the old lady, madam , there are quite a few servants around the young masters and ladies, and they all have to be placed.

With such a big fire in Hou's mansion, I'm afraid they will have to stay in the city guard's mansion for a short time, so it has to be crowded no matter what.

The people in the city guard's mansion will be crowded, and the people in the Hou's mansion will also be crowded.

Zhu Ma took the groundhog to Fu Sisi's room, and Liu Ma stepped forward to help move Fu Sisi into the bed.

Fu Sisi was already asleep, even if Liu Ma moved him, he didn't wake up.

Zhu Ma also put Fu Changyun down.

Fu Changyun fell asleep on the way back to the room, Zhu Ma undressed him, Liu Ma helped fetch water, twisted a towel to wipe Fu Changyun's face.

It may have been a long time since Zhu Ma and Liu Ma had seen each other, but this meeting was very touching.

It was before Hou Ye's wedding that the two of them took the fourth and fifth sons to leave the mansion. Unexpectedly, when they meet again, the Hou mansion will be a funeral and a big fire.

Mama Zhu and Mama Liu stood by the bed. No one was sure about the fire in the Hou Mansion, only the two children could sleep.

It was originally a midsummer night, and Zhu Ma and Liu Ma took turns fanning the cubs with cattail fans, as well as fanning the mosquitoes.

Compared with Liu's mother, Zhu's mother came back later.

Moreover, among the working mothers, because of the good relationship between Fu Sisi and the groundhog, they often play together; even Zhu's mother and Liu's mother are often together.

Over time, the relationship between the two is better than that between the other working mothers.

Anyway, there was no sleepiness, Mama Liu and Mama Zhu happened to be talking together.

Zhu Ma and Liu Ma talked about this trip to Yang's house.

Both Zhu Ma and Liu Ma are old people in the mansion, and Zhu Ma's visit to Yang's house also made a deep impression on her.

"The Yang family in Hexi was also a noble family in the early days, with a century-old scholarly family and no official career. Since the death of the first wife, the old man of the Yang family has disappeared. Now the Yang family in Hexi is in charge of the third master."

After Zhu Ma finished speaking, Liu Ma was surprised, "Third Lord? Isn't Third Master the younger brother of Mrs. Xian? It's just..."

Mama Liu paused, unable to finish the rest of the sentence—isn't the third master the most idle one?

But even if Mama Liu didn't finish, Mama Zhu understood.

Mama Liu got up, closed the window slightly, and then turned back.

Zhu Ma lowered her voice even more, and continued, "When the Yang family uncle was in charge of the house, although the third master was idle, he couldn't make any waves. With the uncle watching, and the first wife asking a few words from time to time, the third master I didn't do anything in the mansion. I also heard that the third master had approached Hou Ye privately earlier, and asked Hou Ye to find him an errand in the court, saying that he didn't want to stay idle all the time. But you know, the third son of the Yang family For a person like Master, if he really wants to seek some kind of errand, whether he can do it well is one thing, but causing trouble is another. Therefore, Master Hou did not agree, and Mrs. Xian felt that it was inappropriate, and then the matter was left alone. But this trip to the Yang family is different..."

Zhu Ma sighed softly, and Liu Ma wondered, "What happened to the Yang family?"

Mama Liu cares about everything!

Although the Fourth Young Master doesn't have much to do with the Yang family.

Especially after the first wife passed away.

When Madam arrives at the mansion, if the Fourth Young Master has something to do with this place, he should be closer to Madam's place.

Mama Liu is concerned about the affairs of the Yang family because Mama Liu was once Fu Boyun's wet nurse.

Since the Yang family is Mrs. Xian's natal family, Madam Liu will think about the Yang family from Fu Boyun's point of view.

Mrs. Zhu said softly, "When Mrs. Xian passed away, the third master of the Yang family cried loudly in front of Lord Hou, saying that the good sister would be handed over to him, and she just disappeared! At that time, Mrs. Xian had just passed away, and Lord Hou was in complete distress. In a daze, when he went to the Yang family, he knelt in front of the old lady of the Yang family for two whole nights and did not get up. Earlier, Lord Hou would not let the Tongfu talk about these things. But that was also the time when the third master of the Yang family grabbed Lord Hou. Guilt, must have forced Lord Hou to find a job in Hexi, which also counts as an official career."

Not a Beijing official, but a local official.

Mrs. Zhu said again, "You haven't seen the scene at that time, that is to sprinkle salt on Lord Hou's wound, one sister at a time; Lord Hou was not thinking about it at all at the time, but who knew that the old lady of the Yang family came forward and spoke, What else can Hou Ye say, so I have to agree."

Mama Liu sighed in her heart.

But after a few years, the Yang family has become nothing like before.

Mother Liu knows what kind of person the third master of the Yang family is...

Liu Ma sighed softly in her heart, "No wonder this time the Second Young Master came back, I saw Li Ma was aggressive and was encouraged by the Yang family."

Speaking of Mama Li, Mama Zhu sneered, "She's sitting here with the Yang family, and she listens to whatever the Yang family says. Isn't the Yang family just looking forward to the second young master's quarrel with his wife? It was because he was afraid that the second son's title would be taken by the fourth son, but after careful investigation, it was not because he was afraid that the second son and his wife would get close. In the future, the Hou Mansion and the Ruan family would get closer, so what would happen to the Yang family? Originally, the third master of the Yang family was an official The Yang family had a very unpleasant dispute with Lord Hou, although in the end Lord Hou compromised, but it was because of the face of the deceased late wife, but the Yang family's doing so was tantamount to breaking the foundation of Lord Hou. Now that Lord Hou has passed away, the Yang family naturally started to act like the second son. Otherwise, the old lady of the Yang family said that she was uncomfortable all over after she married, and that she wanted to see these grandchildren and granddaughters was just wishful thinking! The Yang family I don't want this piece of fat to fall into the hands of others, so I tried my best to toss it."

No wonder...

That makes sense.

"Since the old man of the Yang family passed away, the old lady has listened to the third master in everything. This time I went to the Yang family in Hexi. I heard privately that the third master spent a lot of money and owed a lot of money. Maybe this idea is to go to the Marquis. There was a fight in the mansion. I think the eldest lady is rude to the wife today (the eldest lady is here to listen to everyone’s opinions and modify the character design, and I will modify it later), and the lady is not used to it, but in the end, this trip to the Yang family is If you can use the young masters and young ladies of the Marquis Mansion as sword envoys, then you can use the young masters and young ladies of the Marquis Mansion as saber envoys in turn. It is nothing more than wanting your wife to be separated from the young masters and young ladies, preferably with the old lady. In this way, The Yang family can still get a piece of the pie." Zhu Ma sighed again, "People's hearts are separated by their own plans..."

Zhu's mother's trip to Yang's house has seen through it all.

But what about seeing through?

The old lady is not worried at all!

No matter how powerful Song Bo is, he is still a housekeeper!

No matter how much the servants worry about the affairs of the Hou Mansion, it doesn't matter if the master doesn't care!

The Second Young Master is still young, and when Master Hou passed away, not to mention everyone is coveting him, even the Guang Yang family covets him so much!

If I really want to think about it, I feel that there are holes everywhere in the Hou Mansion, and there are pits everywhere.

If you are not careful, you will fall in.

After Zhu Ma finished speaking, she sighed and shook her head, but the cattail fan in her hand never stopped, because she was afraid of Fu Sisi and Fu Zhuangzhuang being hot on the bed, and also afraid of attracting mosquitoes.

Therefore, complaints are complaints, and you still have to take care of the young masters and young ladies you have to take care of!

Zhu Ma fanned the fan, while Liu Ma got up and held the thin silk quilt for Fu Sisi and Fu Zhuangzhuang.

Children are very irritable, and in midsummer nights, the quilt will be warm when fully covered, and it is easy to kick the quilt.Therefore, it is good to cover the area around the stomach so that it does not get cold, and it will not be a big problem for children to breathe in the place next to it.

After Mama Liu covered the quilt, she sat back on the bed again, and the two of them took turns. Mama Liu took the fan from Mama Zhu, shook the fan, and said, "The Yang family has plans for the Yang family, and Madam may not." If you see it, you will be led by the nose by the Yang family."

Mama Zhu looked at her.

Liu Ma approached and whispered, "You are not in the mansion these days, you will know after a while. Madam is different from Mrs. Madam, Madam is amazing. When did you hear Madam praise Madam Xian before? Madam Madam Nowadays, one daughter-in-law listens to Madam in everything, Madam can talk to Madam, and Madam can also get along with Madam! No matter what the young ladies in the mansion say or say, in my opinion, They all seem to like being with Madam! Madam didn't try to curry favor with the old lady, nor did she spoil the young lady in the mansion, I really feel that the Yang family's careful thinking will come to nothing in the end."

Mama Liu was thinking of how the fourth son got along with his wife.

From the early days, the fourth son had a vicious stepmother, and later, he was able to play backgammon with his wife every day, or his wife went to the garden to watch him sleep. The performance of the fourth son who was almost wagging his tail is enough to explain everything...

But kids are different from kids.

The fourth son is like this, maybe the fifth son is not necessarily.

Zhu Ma also remembered the sleepy look on the fifth son's face when he got off the carriage just now.

Most likely, being with Madam, I feel inexplicably at ease in my heart, because Madam has been holding him.

*

At Ruan Tao's place, after a brief wash, Mama He also came to the house, "Ma'am, everything has settled down in the house."

Ruan Tao was waiting for He Ma's words.

After everything was settled, it was to tell her that Ruan Zhao and others had successfully escaped.

Ruan Tao's eyes relax slightly.

That's good.

As long as Ruan Zhao and the others escaped, there would be nothing left in the hands of others.

Then the matter in the Hou Mansion is over.

"Ma'am, go to bed earlier, you have to get up early tomorrow to deal with it!" Mama He reminded.

While changing clothes behind the screen, Ruan Tao whispered to Mama He, "Mama He, I always feel like I forgot something..."

But where would He Ma know?

After Ruan Tao changed his clothes and came out from behind the screen, Ruan Tao remembered, looked at He Ma, and said softly, "I seem to have forgotten Mrs. Zhu..."
