Chapter 247 Provocation
In the afternoon at Yuehua Courtyard, in the wing room, Luo Xiangying wept over the three or two plates of meat and vegetables that were fairly neatly arranged on the table. Zeng Po, who was assigned to serve in her room, advised her, "This is considered good. Grandpa and grandma haven't touched much, and the brothers and sisters don't like it. Auntie is no longer a girl at home, so just make do with it."
Luo Xiangying said: "I'm not hungry, mom, take it away."
Mrs. Zeng shook her head and sighed, "Then I will go to the kitchen and ask someone to make a bowl of bird's nest porridge for you. After all, they are our sisters. Miss Luo next door gave me some silver and told me not to let my aunt down. I will go to the kitchen from time to time to make some of my aunt's favorite food. Although my master cannot enter my aunt's room, he is really good to my aunt. He secretly bought bird's nests from outside and gave them to me. I cook a bowl of it every day for my aunt to nourish her body. He loves my aunt very much. Be content."
After saying that, he took out the dishes along with the small table.
Luo Xiangying couldn't stop crying. Who loved her? Her mother forced her to be a concubine. That slap was like sending her to hell. She fainted and woke up. She felt her hands and feet were soft and her body was burning. She became a couple with Li Zhao in a fuzzy state. She knew that she was drugged and couldn't argue. It was useless for her to cry until her voice was hoarse. She couldn't die. Jinhua Hall sent several strong women to watch over her. Where was her sister at this time? Under Li Zhao's pitying gaze, she was forced to kneel and worship the principal wife. When she was offering tea, her cousin kept humiliating her and splashed hot tea on her face. If Li Zhao hadn't stopped her, the gold hairpin on Xu Xiaojuan's head would have scratched her face. From then on, she was ordered around by Xu Xiaojuan every day, like a maid. If she didn't obey, she would be beaten. She was truly unable to live or die. Her cousin, who used to welcome everyone with a smile, now wished she could eat her alive. Every day, she made Luo Xiangying eat the leftovers of their family and didn't allow Li Zhao to spend the night in the bridal chamber. Li Zhao quarreled with her, and Xu Xiaojuan said, "My wife is the most important. I am just keeping her to serve you when I am not in a good condition. If you disobey me and go to her without permission, she will be the only one to suffer."
Li Zhao was afraid that Xiangying would suffer a loss, so he had to endure it, thinking of comforting the new person when Xu Xiaojuan's menstruation came during those days of the month.
Although Luo Xiangying was newly married, she slept alone in an empty room every day, crying in front of a red candle, hoping that her sister next door would come to see her. But that was just a fantasy, as she had never seen the shadows of her sister and mother in her dreams.
Bai Jingyu knew all of this, and she also had someone keep an eye on Luo Zhaoying. After Luo Xiangying was carried into Yuehua Courtyard, Luo Zhaoying went to Jinhua Hall with her mother. The gentle and elegant woman massaged the old lady's legs while saying, "Brother-in-law Li is very knowledgeable and has the honor of being a successful candidate. In the future, he will surely be listed in the imperial list and be granted an official position and a noble title. It is her blessing that my sister can serve brother-in-law Li and my eldest cousin, but my sister has a strong personality and has been proud since she was a child. She is not willing to be tamed easily. I am afraid that she will not be able to figure it out for a while and do something that goes against filial piety. It doesn't matter to her, as long as she is unlucky, but I am afraid that it will ruin the reputation of the Hou Mansion, especially now that the Sixth Master's wedding is approaching..."
After hearing this, the old lady praised her for her meticulousness and immediately sent a few strong maids to guard Xiangying to prevent anything from happening to her.
After hearing the news that Huang Mama got from Ruiyun, Bai Jingyu sneered: So by sentencing Luo Xiangying, I've done a good thing for Luo Zhaoying?
She knew that the eldest sister-in-law and the sixth master would never yield to the old lady. The eldest sister-in-law was blocked by the eldest brother and could not confront the old lady freely. The sixth master was a filial grandson and had to consider the overall situation, so he temporarily tolerated the old lady. She herself had no respect for the old lady in her heart, but her parents-in-law were there, and her husband had just reconciled with her. The couple loved each other as before. She didn't want to destroy all this, so she could only do superficial work, but she felt uncomfortable with this matter. She liked to mess with the eldest sister-in-law. Anyway, she was free, so she had to do things like messing up a pool of spring water from time to time in the Bai Mansion. It was not difficult. This time the eldest sister-in-law and the sixth master came to her, and there was nothing to say. She let them wait and watch the show.
After drinking tea, Li Zhao accompanied his daughter Li Jiao to learn a few words on the couch, then got up and went to the academy. Xu Xiaojuan said, "You are not allowed to go to the side rooms."
'Unreasonable'
Li Zhao stopped and glared at her, then walked away in anger: This fierce woman doesn't even give him the slightest bit of face now. When he has a chance to make a breakthrough, he will definitely punish her.
Li Zhaogang left when the maid came to report: "The first and second mistresses are here."
Xu Xiaojuan was stunned: Second grandma is here, what is the big grandma doing here? She doesn't like me.
She suddenly remembered: what happened yesterday, she came here for yesterday's incident, to settle accounts with her, to scold her, thinking of the words that her sister-in-law said were like knives, Xu Xiaojuan had a headache, what should I do? No, I can't see her, I have to hide.
Meimei walked to the corridor but didn't go into the house: "Why is there no one breathing? Where is my aunt?"
Mother Zheng came out with a smile on her face: "Oh, it's the eldest and second grandmothers. This old servant would like to greet the two grandmothers. The eldest grandmother just had a dizzy spell and has just taken a rest with her brothers and sisters in the back."
Bai Jingyu said: "Oh, your grandpa and grandma from the Li family are so arrogant that they live in your mother's house. They didn't even greet your uncle and aunt when they came. Well, it's not anyone else's fault. Your daughter learned such rules and regulations, and you still married her off. It's really a disgrace to our ancestors."
Mother Zheng's face flushed, and she didn't know what to say. Meimei said, "Everyone in this mansion is prone to dizziness, but most of them are not serious. I know this. Call your grandmother. Want to hide? No way she dares not to come to see me. Wait for me to go in and catch her and slap her a few times."
Mother Zheng hurried into the bedroom to call Xu Xiaojuan. Meimei and Bai Jingyu entered the room and sat in the main seat. She said to Shuixiang who brought the tea:
"Didn't you just take in a concubine? Ask the new one to serve tea to your aunt."
Shuixiang hurried down to invite Luo Xiangying, and Luo Xiangying followed Shuixiang out without saying a word. She had seen the grandma before, and she respected the grandma's style of doing things and her uprightness. If Xu Xiaojuan had not locked her up in the room like a prisoner, she would have wanted to run out and pay her respects to the grandma.
After serving tea to everyone, Bai Jingyu saw Meimei solemnly take off a jade bracelet on her hand and give it to Luo Xiangying. After thinking for a moment, he took off a silver hairpin inlaid with pearls from his head and placed it on Luo Xiangying's tea tray.
Luo Xiangying looked at the two valuable items on the tea tray. The jade bracelet came from the palace, and the quality was not mentioned.
It is made by】.
