Chapter 1,194: The Older You Get, the Worse You Get
Hearing that Chu Liuchen had also come, Shao Jing came to the door, opened the main door and invited people in.
Chu Liuchen got off the carriage first, then reached out to help Shao Wanru, and carefully helped her out of the carriage.
The corners of Shao Jing's eyes twitched, and he felt inexplicably uneasy. It was really unexpected that Chu Liuchen would come over, and he always felt that something was not good.
"Your Highness, King Chen, please come to the front and serve tea!" Shao Jing stretched out his hand to guide him.
"No need, let's go see Mrs. Tai first!" Chu Liuchen smiled faintly, his eyes dark.
"Okay...okay!" He couldn't refuse this. Chu Liuchen was Shao Wanru's husband. It was normal for him to want to see Mrs. Tai.
He winked at a young man next to him. The young man understood and hurriedly stepped aside, then rushed into the inner courtyard to report the news. King Chen followed him in. Of course, Mrs. Tai couldn't make things difficult for Shao Wanru anymore.
Shao Jing accompanied Shao Wanru and Chu Liuchen as they walked in. When they arrived at Madam Tai's Spring Hall, he saw Aunt Yu standing next to Madam Tai from a distance. Seeing Chu Liuchen and others coming, he hurriedly came up. Salute before you.
"How is Mrs. Tai's health?" Shao Wanru asked as he walked inside.
"Mrs. Tai's health..." Aunt Yu lowered her head, looking very sad. "Mrs. Tai's health has not been good since she came back from Yuhui Nunnery. Yesterday she fainted after just saying a few words. Well, the old slave and the eldest mistress were so frightened that they hurriedly sent the news to the princess, today is fine!"
In other words, nothing happened today, but yesterday it looked scary, as if something was really going to happen.
Of course, what happened yesterday is yesterday's thing. I'm fine today, so I can't say anything. Shao Wanru curled up the corners of his lips, with a smile that was a bit sarcastic. The madam's illness really just needs to be treated well. Well, it’s very powerful to control yourself.
However, after today, let’s see if she still dares to use her own body to pretend to be sick.
After entering the main room, he bypassed the large screen and went to the inner room. It was inconvenient for Chu Liuchen to go in, so he waited in the room outside. Shao Jing accompanied him, and Shao Wanru followed Grandma Yu in.
The madam was lying on the bed, her eyes tightly closed, as if she was asleep. If you look closely, you can see that the corners of her mouth are slightly tilted, which should be the stroke mentioned last time.
"Mrs. Tai, Princess Chen is here to see you!" After asking Shao Wanru to sit down, Grandma Yu walked to Mrs. Tai's bed and called in a low voice.
After shouting for several times, the wife slowly opened her eyes and said in a hoarse voice: "What's the matter?"
"Princess Chen is here to see you!" Nanny Yu whispered.
The madam's eyes moved in the air, then turned to one side, and they happened to meet Shao Wanru's eyes. Disgust flashed in her eyes, even with a kind of hatred. Then she slowly closed her eyes and opened them again. When he opened his eyes, there was already a hint of smile: "It's Fifth Girl."
Why didn't she hate it? She almost suffered a stroke because of this bitch's anger. She would have to be more careful with her body in the future.
She and Princess Qinghua's mother and daughter are incompatible with each other. They came here to make her angry to death. At the moment, she is not angry to death, mainly because she has a hard life and a noble life. Just look at Jiang. You know what it's like to be beaten!
"Mrs. Tai!" Shao Wanru stood up and bowed, then slowly sat down, far away from Mrs. Tai. There was actually nothing to say between the two of them.
The house is safe for a while
It fell silent, with a hint of indescribable embarrassment.
"Madam, as soon as Princess Chen heard that you were not in good health, she came to see you with Prince Chen. You must get better and never be as willful as before, even not taking medicine!"
When Grandma Yu saw this situation, she could only laugh.
"Madam, you don't want to take medicine?" Shao Wanru's eyes moved slightly and he answered.
Now that she is here, she will watch their actions to make herself go to see Jiang.
"Madam, I just think of the princess..." Aunt Yu sighed and said.
"Don't talk nonsense, it has nothing to do with Princess Qinghua." Madam Tai interrupted her unhappily, stretched out her hand to support Grandma Yu's hand, and sat up tremblingly, as if she were a real old man in his dying years. As if, a pair of turbid eyes fell on Shao Wanru, quite peacefully.
There was even a bit of emotion and regret, and looking at Shao Wanru who was hesitant to speak, he looked like an ordinary old man.
Shao Wanru pinched the handkerchief in her hand and her eyes were light. She could come to see the Madam because she was an elder and had to come because she was not in good health.
If there was any friendship, she didn't think it existed, and she didn't think the wife did either.
"As we get older, we have to think about some things. What happened back then was because I insisted on going my own way. Although your father and mother were not harmed by me, they must be related to me. In my heart... in my heart..." The madam couldn't go on at this point, and there seemed to be tears in her eyes.
He picked up the handkerchief and gently wiped it at the corner of his eyes, suppressing the sadness in his heart, then raised his head, looked at Shao Wanru and said bluntly: "Fifth girl, my grandmother thought wrong about what happened before."
This sentence clearly appeared in Shao Wanru's ears. He looked at the lady in front of him, as if she was really repentant, with tears in her eyes, but Shao Wanru felt ridiculed.
This is a plan to play the family card, and it is an old family card.
"Grandma, don't worry, it's all over!" Shao Wanru said.
"I can't make it, I can't make it in my heart... I have been very strong in my life, and I have been wholeheartedly trying to make the Xingguo Palace more prosperous. At the beginning, I told your grandmother that I would definitely make our Xingguo Palace get better and better, but now But it got to this point all because of my partiality..."
When the wife said this, she started to cry. After wiping it with a handkerchief several times, her eyes became very red.
"Mrs. Tai, please stop crying. I can't blame you for this. It was the Second Madam...it was the Second Madam who deceived you. It was she who made you think that the Princess is not good...it was all the Second Madam..." Grandma Yu hurriedly He stepped forward to persuade him and said in a low voice.
This so-called low voice can actually be heard by people in the inner room.
"Why not me? If I hadn't been because Jiang was raised by my side since she was a child and seemed to be filial to me on the surface, I wouldn't have thought that she had a good temperament, let alone obey her words to the point of harming the boss. This family can’t even protect a child, it’s all my fault!”
The madam cried again, her voice whimpering, and she looked filled with regret and regret, as if she truly regretted it.
In her words, she put all the faults on the Jiang family. Everything was done by the Jiang family. She was just temporarily deceived. She didn't really want to do anything to Princess Qinghua. .
Shao Wanru sneered in her heart, Mrs. Tai is really good at acting.
, every time two people have a falling out, she will come and take the blame, feeling heartbroken and regretful, taking advantage of her status as an elder to say some specious things. Such a scene, such a scene, if it were another person who didn't know better, You will definitely feel pity for her.
He seemed a bit strong.
Half of this was performed for myself, and the other half was performed for Chu Liuchen who was standing next to him.
"Fifth girl, my grandma was sorry for what happened in the past. I hope you can forgive grandma. Grandma will never be fooled by anyone again, and grandma will make it up to you in the future." The wife looked at Shao Wanru expectantly. , stretched out his hand tremblingly, "Fifth girl, can you forgive grandma for being so stupid?"
With just one sentence, he wanted to write off everything. This idea was too good. Shao Wanru's eyes raised and fell on the Madam without hesitation. His eyes were fainter than before. Black has a bit more translucency, but it also makes people feel very thin.
"Is there something wrong, Madam?"
One sentence almost made the madam unable to hold back. She put her hands on the corner of the quilt, fearing that she couldn't help but grab the cup placed by the table and smash it on Shao Wanru's body.
"Madam!" Sensing that Mrs. Yu was angry, Grandma Yu hurriedly reached out and held her hand, fearing that she would make an angry move and cause trouble.
"What can I do? At such an old age, everything I say is meaningless. I just hope that you are all well, Mrs. Jiang... Mrs. Jiang..." The wife said in a deep voice, "Fifth girl, although Mrs. Jiang He is such a person, and now he has received retribution... If you... if you..."
Mrs. Tai sighed again when she said this, her head felt very weak, and her voice became even lower: "There is a family heirloom. You can go and ask for it. It was originally given to your mother, and... it has been with your mother. The hand... is a family heirloom... Later it fell into the hands of the Jiang family, and I only found out... You can ask someone to ask for it, and leave it to Hao'er later."
Shao Yuanhao is the eldest son, and everything in the Xingguo Hou Mansion is of course given to Hao'er.
Shao Wanru and the Jiang family are incompatible with each other, and there is a storm between the first and second rooms. This so-called family heirloom was originally in the mother's hands, and now it should belong to Hao'er. Shao Wanru doesn't know, that's all. How could he keep her in Jiang's hands forever?
"Okay, I'm tired, you go down first!" After speaking, the Madam waved her hand, becoming more and more weak.
"Madam... Madam..." Aunt Yu said in a low voice while supporting Madam.
What responded to her was the heavy breathing of the dowager, as if she fell asleep after just a while.
Aunt Yu carefully helped the madam to lie down, covered her with a thin quilt, and then bowed to Shao Wanru with humility: "Princess, the madam is not in good health. She was often able to say a few words just a while ago. After saying that, she fell asleep the next moment, and she suddenly fainted yesterday, I’m afraid the wife’s health is not very good!”
Fell asleep? You don’t want to say anything to yourself anymore, right? Afraid that he would say something unbearable to her, Shao Wanru could clearly see the way the Madam held back just now, and knew that the Madam almost lost control at that moment.
As expected, Mrs. Tai is getting older, and her control over her emotions is not as perfect as before. Without Mrs. Jiang by her side to help her, Mrs. Tai cannot make a fuss by herself.
He stood up, glanced at the madam, turned around and walked directly outside the house...
