Chapter 104: Getting Angry (Part 2)

  Volume 1 Chapter 104 Anger (Below) (Pink Tickets: 900)

  Xu Lingyi's proposal made everyone fall silent.

  The two aunts' intention was not to become nuns, but to escape the Luo family. Only by leaving home and becoming an outsider would they no longer be pursued for worldly matters. Even if they were allowed to stay in the temple with Master's agreement, it's likely that the two aunts wouldn't agree either.

  Luo Zhenxing said: "Hou Ye's idea is good, I'll discuss it with my father and then say."

  Xu Lingyi nodded and smiled: "I'll go pay respects to my father-in-law, then I'll head back with Eleventh Young Mistress!"

  Outside, the lights were already twinkling.

  Everyone busied themselves surrounding Xu Lingyi as they went to the old master's place. In front of the old master, he only said that he had heard the old madam was ill and had especially come to take a look.

  The old master thanked Xu Lingyi's kindness, said a few words "it doesn't matter", and wanted to keep Xu Lingyi for dinner. Xu Lingyi made an excuse that it was too late, insisted on leaving, the old master saw the family in a mess, didn't detain him either, and sent Xu Lingyi and Eleventh Lady out the door.

  The two of them got into their respective cars. The woman who came with the car suddenly handed a greased paper package to Dong Qing, who was following behind: "Girl, give it to your wife to warm her belly!"

  The origin of the thing is unknown, and Dong Qing dare not give it to Shiyi Niang. She thanked the old woman perfunctorily.

  The old woman was following the carriage on the outside, her eyes gleaming with a smile: "Don't despise it, miss, it's from Master Hou."

  Dong Qing smiled and said to Shiyi Niang: "The young master has been thinking of you!"

  The eleventh girl smiled and opened the paper package.

  Steaming hot meat buns.

  She took a bite.

  Pork and cabbage filling.

  Eleventh Sister found another advantage of marrying Xu Lingyi - as long as she was by his side, she would be protected and taken care of.

  Back in the Lotus Flower Room, the two of them went as usual to pay their respects to Madame Wang.

  The old lady asked about the condition of the big wife.

  Eleventh didn't have time to respond, and Xu Lingyi had already said lightly: "It's nothing. The two aunts want to become nuns, they're just a bit angry."

  The old lady nodded: "As long as Auntie is all right, that's all that matters."

  The eleventh girl thanked Madam Tai for her concern, and then Madam Tai asked Xu Lingyi: "Have you eaten yet? If not, I'll have the kitchen prepare something."

  "I've eaten!" Xu Lingyi said calmly, "I'm just not used to Jiangnan cuisine, I didn't eat my fill. I'll go back and have a bowl of noodles later."

  Eleventh Girl was very surprised, didn't expect Xu Lingyi to say that. Also very grateful, lest Mrs. Tai think that her own son went to his father-in-law's house, but the father-in-law neglected his daughter's husband and didn't even treat him to a meal... It's just that today's situation is a bit special - if we stay at the Luo family for dinner, it will probably be very late before we can return.

  The old lady laughed and said: "When did you become so picky about food?"

  Xu Lingyi smiled and didn't make a sound.

  Madam Tai remembered that her son had never liked his mother-in-law, and was probably just not in the mood to eat the Lao family's dishes. She didn't dwell on this question any longer, smiling as she urged them to hurry back.

  The two men paid their respects to Mrs. Tai and returned to their own quarters.

  Eleventh Girl was busy preparing food for Xu Lingyi downstairs.

  The mother on the stove was originally rewarded by Tai Fu Ren, and she was very familiar with Xu Lingyi's taste. The fragrant fried noodles were eaten in a large bowl with a clear soup made from a big bowl of chicken and duck bones, which left Shiyi Niang somewhat stunned.

  I don't know how she maintains her figure...

  Xu Lingyi looked at Shiyi Niang sipping her soup and eating only two noodles, and asked her: "Don't you like to eat?"

  "Can't eat." Eleventh girl thought of tenth girl's matter.

  She didn't go back to see her mother-in-law, whether it was because her mother-in-law was really uncomfortable or just an excuse...

  Xu Lingyi thought of his sick mother-in-law... and hesitated: "If you want to go back and see your mother, just tell your wife yourself."

  So, Xulianyi is actually in favor of himself going to see the old lady. And he lets himself go tell the old lady, it's because he's afraid that the old lady will think that he's not being open and honest enough, even thinking about returning to his mother's home such a reasonable thing, secretly manipulating his husband to take the lead for himself, isn't that uncomfortable?

  The eleventh girl nodded hastily: "I know. I will go and talk to mother about this myself."

  Xu Lingyi saw that she understood his meaning and nodded, then went to the dressing room to change and wash up.

  The eleven girls carefully made their beds and even shook out the square pillowcases to make them neat again.

  At night, she asked Xu Lingyi: "Will Master Hou go to court early tomorrow morning?"

  "Hmm!"

  "Do we have to go to school every day?"

  "Not every month, on the 10th, 20th and last day of each month, you can have a one-day break. Also, during New Year's Day, Lantern Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival, Winter Solstice... you can also have a break."

  "Oh!" Eleventh Sister smiled and said, "In four more days, Master Hou can finally rest!"

  "The emperor does not rest, how dare his subjects rest."

  "It's indeed." Eleventh Princess sighed with emotion, "To think about it, being an emperor is also a very hard thing to do."

  "Hmm!"

  The eleventh girl was silent for a moment, and the topic suddenly changed: "Does Lord Hou know Master Shi of Jining? What kind of person is she?"

  Xu Lingyi fell silent for a moment, then said: "She seems to know some medical skills, so she often goes in and out of the wealthy families' homes, treating minor illnesses like conjunctivitis or beriberi. Over time, many women have come to trust her as their doctor." He added another sentence, "The wives of Jianning Hou and Shouchang Bo are particularly fond of her; the two gilded Guanyin statues in Ciyuan Temple were donated by their families..."

  Is this reminding myself?

  The eleventh daughter was deep in thought.

  At this moment, in the distant Bowstring Alley, Luo's father and son saw off Qian Ming and Wu Niang, and were discussing the two aunts: "... The young master said to set up a family temple. I heard that he definitely doesn't want to make a fuss about it. Father, let's not bother with this matter!"

  The old master did not make a sound, and after a while, he said: "Since you all say it's settled, then this matter is settled! But as for your mother's side..."

  "I've already given orders." Luo Zhenxing heard this and let out a sigh of relief, "Whoever dares to speak nonsense in front of my mother will not be forgiven lightly."

  The old man nodded and said with a sigh, "I don't know how it became like this? I recall that at first, neither of them was willing to be taken in by me, and I didn't force them. Later, they changed their minds and wanted to stay by my side, and I treated them with great kindness..." Suddenly remembering he was speaking in front of his son, he stopped abruptly.

  Lu Zhenxing felt a bit awkward, hastily stood up and smiled: "It's not early anymore, Father should rest early! I've already asked for leave, tomorrow morning I'll go to the most famous Songhe Hall in Yanjing to invite a doctor to come and take another look at Mother."

  The old man nodded and saw off his son, then turned back into the inner chamber.

  A solitary lamp casts a faint light on the worn face of the great lady, filling the room with a chill.

  Sixth Auntie came to invite Master to take a bath: "Let Madam Xū accompany the Mistress tonight!"

  The old man shook his head: "No need, I'll take care of her!" As he spoke, he tucked in the corner of his wife's quilt.

  Sixth Aunt was stunned.

  Eleventh girl hates this damn system, she has to get up at 4:00 every day.

  See off Xu Lingyi, Eleventh Sister yawned and fell onto the bed.

  Dong Qing hurriedly helped her into a loose robe.

  "It's all right." She closed her eyes and spoke in a languid tone, "In two hours I still have to go pay my respects to the mistress."

  The wintergreen does not cover its mouth and smile.

  The eleventh girl said dazedly, "You should arrange a schedule for Chun Wei and Xia Yi too. This way, people won't be exhausted to death! However, the best solution is to let them pass on their experience; otherwise, they can only serve like this every day."

  Dong Qing smiled and responded, Shi Yi Niang slept for a while before waking up again.

  Three bridesmaids were waiting under the eaves.

  Waiting under the eaves? It's just going to ask Madam Tai for peace, and Madam Tai didn't let anyone wait under the eaves either.

  The eleventh girl smiled slightly and ordered Amber: "Let them wait in the hall from now on."

  Amber left at the sound of her name being called, and three aunts came in.

  "Ah, I've heard that the mistress is ill? What's wrong with her? Is she feeling any better? Does she need some good medicine?"

  "It's nothing, as one gets older, there are more and more ailments." The eleventh daughter responded vaguely and then went to the old lady's place.

  After exchanging greetings, the eleventh daughter mentioned that she wanted to go back to her mother's home for a visit.

  Old Lady Tai immediately agreed and also asked Du's mother to take some medicine to Eleventh Sister: "Deliver it for me. When she gets a bit better, I'll go see her again."

  Eleventh Young Lady thanked Madam Tao and took Dong Qing back to the Luo residence.

  At the door, she ran into Wu Niang.

  The two of them were momentarily stunned, then smiled and bowed, walking in together.

  As soon as he received the news, he immediately came out to welcome him.

  The eleventh girl handed over the medicinal herbs sent by Madam Tai: "A little thought from Madam Tai!"

  Dai * thanked him and handed over the medicine to Xinglin beside him, taking the two of them to the inner courtyard.

  Mrs. Xu blocked the three of them outside.

  "We're giving Madame a bath!"

  Big breasts looked up at the sky: "At this time..."

  Mrs. Xu's eyes dimmed for a moment before she said, "The first wife has lost control!"

  Three people cannot make a face at each other without being suspicious.

  Mrs. Xu couldn't be bothered with entertaining a few aunties and turned back into the house.

  Dai Na and others waited for a while in the yard.

  "Your elder brother has gone to Songhe Hall to invite a doctor." Da Nai said with a bitter smile, "I hope he can cure mother's illness."

  "There's no need to rush." Eleventh Sister was already certain that Eldest Lady had suffered a stroke. "Just help take care of her slowly and she'll be fine."

  "I hope so." Da Nai sighed, and a little maid came in to report: "The master is back. He's also brought a doctor with him."

  Several busy people hid in the east wing of the house and didn't come out until the doctor who was treating the illness had left.

  Lu Zhenxing took the prescription and sent someone to fetch the medicine, while Da Nai hurriedly asked how it was going.

  He couldn't help but smile wryly: "I'm afraid it's just a matter of nursing it slowly, don't let it get angry again!"

  Daiyu and Xiangling sighed in unison for a long time.

  Luo Zhenxing then said to Wu Niang and Shi Yi Niang, "You are all married with families, and your mother's illness cannot be cured in a short time. You don't need to come back every day, just come visit when you have time. If there is anything important, I will send someone to inform you."

  The two nodded, just as Mrs. Xu finished cleaning up, and they went in together to see the old lady.

  She was speechless, just staring with a mixture of anger and sadness, all of which revealed several layers of hurt.

  The eleventh girl asked Luo Zhensheng about his marriage: "...... Do you want to change the date?"

  "No need," said Luo Zhenxing, "Father will set off in a few days and come back after dealing with Fourth Brother's marriage!"

  It can only be like this.

  Then asked Shi Niang: "Can someone be sent to deliver the letter?"

  "It's been sent." Luo Zhenxing's face didn't look good, "It's said that Madame Maoguo is also not feeling well, wait a few more days and come back to visit when you're free."

  The Fifth Lady let out a cold "hmm", and the Eleventh Lady hastily interjected, "I've heard that Madame Miao of the Marquis's household is also around fifty years old this year, and it's autumn now, so it's not unusual to have some discomfort occasionally."

  Sisters, don't say anything, just focus on paying off debts...~~~~~~~
