Chapter 1382
·Relieve the Qi
Mrs. Cai immediately jumped up when she heard the sound, "What do you mean she goes out alone? The old lady and maids around her have brought at least three or four, so why are she alone?"
Bai Xiurui said, "I don't mean that. She is not familiar with the place in Shanghai. At least you can ask someone to follow her, even Baoshan can do it."
Mrs. Cai Er said with a disgust, "How precious is she? She can't do anything to go out? There are so many things at home, and I still have to spend so much effort on her? She is not a little verbal, if she wants to be with her, she will naturally say it. What are you anxious about? Or... who said something about you before you?"
Bai Xiurui said, "No. No matter what, she has married me, she is your daughter-in-law. You should treat her better."
Mrs. Cai's second wife was so angry that her face turned red, "Why am I not good to her? What else do you want me to do? Do you raise your hands to confess her?"
Bai Xiurui sighed, "Forget it, I can't understand it with you. You go out and let me stay alone for a while."
Mrs. Cai Er said dissatisfiedly, "Since you married this wife, you have become impatient with me. They say that you forgot your mother after marrying a wife. I didn't believe it before, but I didn't expect it to be true."
Bai Xiurui felt bored and frowned and closed his eyes.
Mrs. Cai felt sorry for her son after all, and saw this, so she had to say, "Okay, okay, I'm out. You're just taking a break and have dinner with me tonight. You're not allowed to go out again."
Bai Xiurui just pretended that he had heard nothing.
Mrs. Cai was then reluctantly out.
She went downstairs, called her personal mother and asked, "Our eldest lady is not relieved yet?"
The close mother whispered, "No, I've been staying in the room and refused to come out. I don't know what's wrong. Should my wife persuade her?"
Mrs. Cai doesn't take it seriously, "You don't know her temper. She says it's wind or rain. She comes and leaves quickly. Eighty-mostly, she doesn't have anything to do with the second son of the housekeeper. She can't think about it now. It's useless for anyone to persuade her. She will be fine in a few days."
The close mother said, "Our eldest lady is so kind."
Mrs. Cai 's snorted, "Don't put gild on her face, she's just stupid! I don't know what the butler is good, why did he recognize it? Being swear by his heart, see who is a good girl will be like her? No wonder the butler looks down on her. She doesn't respect her and insists on delivering her to the door, which is embarrassing to the entire Shanghai beach."
The close mother said, "Madam, don't say that. If the good thing about the eldest lady and Mr. Guan are really done, it will be equivalent to having a relative with Zeng Shaoquan. This will also be beneficial to the future of the second young master."
Mrs. Cai said disdainfully, "Zeng Shaoquan? As the saying goes, the emperor and the minister will change, and who knows how many years he can last. In recent years, natural disasters and man-made disasters have been constant. Zeng Shaoquan has had many messes. It is not certain how long he can sit in this position, and he can still count on him? Don't think about it!"
The close mother said, "But no wonder the eldest lady likes it. That second young master Guan is really good."
Mrs. Cai said, "It's just a skinny thing. I still stay at home and don't have a regular businessman. What's the point? It's incomparable to our Brother Rui."
The close mother hurriedly smiled, "Mrs. I'm so proud of him. How can I compare with our second young master?"
This flattery made Mrs. Cai feel excited and said with a smile, "I have no choice but to have a marriage matter, but it's not something she can decide on. It depends on her father's intention."
When Bai Yuande was mentioned, Mrs. Cai's second wife was filled with resentment.
The close mother observed her expression and said carefully, "After all, she is the eldest daughter of the second wife, and the master is reluctant to let her suffer."
Mrs. Cai sat down on the sofa and asked lazily, "Did the Second Young Master say when will you come back?"
The close mother said blankly, "I didn't say anything. When I went out, I just said to go to the temple to burn incense, and I agreed that I would definitely come back before dinner."
Mrs. Cai Er whispered, "This is pretty good, it's not the fifteenth day of the lunar month. What did she do in the temple?"
The close mother lowered her voice and said, "I heard from the person who served the second young master's grandmother that she has not slept well since she was a child. She always dreamed of the child coming to seek her life. She went to the temple to burn incense to save her and untie this knot."
Mrs. Cai said cautiously, "You're going to die? What are you talking about? You're going to be a confinement school! Brother Rui is still at home now."
The close mother hurriedly said, "Madam, don't worry, the superiors and subordinates have already told me, no one dares to go to the second young master to talk nonsense. I promise to hide this matter tightly."
Mrs. Cai Er breathed a sigh of relief, but she did not admit defeat at all, "What's so scary about me? It's not my fight to the child, it's her own fault, who can I blame?"
The personal mother knew about Mrs. Cai’s second wife’s thoughts and said softly, “Madam, don’t care about it. Even if it’s for the sake of the second young master, tolerate the second young master more.”
Mrs. Cai 's second wife 'cut' and said, "If Brother Rui hadn't liked it, I could let her enter our door? After the New Year, if there was no movement in her stomach, I would have to make the decision to take a concubine to Brother Rui. I can't let him have no descendants forever, right?"
My close mother didn't dare to say much, and she lowered her head and smiled.
Mrs. Cai was lying on the sofa while thinking about the poisoning in the third room, she began to think about the poisoning in her heart. Although her son said she would not let her do it at this time, if she could find an opportunity to send Bai Xiuzhi for a long time, her son's position as the head of the family would be sure to be. Anyway, Bai Xiuzhi now lives in Madam Min's Qizitang, and even if something happened, it would be Madam Min's responsibility. Who can blame her for her?
Even if rumors recur, my son's position is stable, which is not better than anything else?
As long as it is for the sake of her son's good, Mrs. Cai will not care about anything.
At this moment, Bai Rongxuan was lying on the bed and eating fruits.
Fresh pickles, sweet and quenching thirst.
Bai Rongxuan said, "Who sent it?"
Xiaoyuan smiled and said, "Who else can it be? Master Min Liu. He brought it when he came in the morning and said that he would help you relieve your boredom when you are fine."
Bai Rongxuan said, "Who can help me eat this?"
Xiao Yuandao, "I said so, it should be the one who eats melon seeds."
Bai Rongxuan was poisoned suddenly, and the news from the Foreign Minister's Office was also very sudden. Bai Yuanhong said to his brother, "I was fine yesterday, why did I suddenly get poisoned?"
Bai Yuanzhi held his arms and said, "What you said is that some people died when they couldn't get up in one breath. Those who were so good yesterday could not have something wrong today? What kind of logic is this?"
Bai Yuanze glared at him fiercely. Seeing his sloppy look, he couldn't help but say, "You sit down properly for me, you're tilted. Are you not boned?"
Bai Yuanzhi had no choice but to sit up straight.
Bai Yuanze called Bai Xiulang and told him to go to the old house of Bai family to inquire about the situation.
Bai Xiulang hurried out.
But when I came to Qizitang, I didn’t see Bai Rongxuan. Instead, Mrs. Min personally received him. "Brother Zhi is still asleep and it is not suitable to see guests at this moment. When I go back, I tell you my father that fortunately I don’t take much poison, so it’s okay to keep it for a few days."
Bai Xiulang looked shocked.
Did you really get poisoned?
He asked again, "Where is the second uncle Pu from Peking?"
Mrs. Min replied, "I have left at noon."
Leaving?
Bai Xiulang said in surprise, "So urgent?"
Mrs. Min said, "Old Master Yi is in a bad state. He dare not stay outside for too long. As soon as the third room was in business, he would say goodbye to me. I didn't want to leave much, so I notified the second room and Brother Rui came forward to see him off."
