Mrs. Cui groaned, closed her eyes and said unhappily: "Who can I offend if I stay in the house all day? Children, what do you know? I am in pain. You go out and let me rest for a while."
"
Shi Jingxing bowed to say goodbye and pulled Mrs. Hou out, "Mom, grandma is injured and needs to rest. Let's go out first."
Mrs. Cui opened her eyes and looked at Mrs. Hou, and said, "Rong'er stays and takes care of you, while the others go out."
Shi Jingxing looked at Mrs. Hou: "Auntie..."
Mrs. Hou patted Shi Jingxing's hand and comforted her softly: "It's okay. You go out first. My mother-in-law stays with my grandmother."
Shi Jingxing didn't let go.
Mrs. Hou smiled at her and said, "Go! My mother-in-law is fine."
Shi Jingxing had no choice but to let go of his mother's hand and exit together with Wu Mingyi and Wu Mingyao.
Mrs. Hou and Nanny Shi were the only ones left in the room. Mrs. Cui stretched out her hand and said, "I feel pain in my back from lying down. Please help me sit up for a while."
Grandma Shi hurriedly stepped forward to help Mrs. Cui. Mrs. Cui moved her hand to the side, avoiding Grandma Shi's hand.
"Stand back and let Rong'er come."
Grandma Shi looked at Mrs. Hou.
"You step back and let me do it." Mrs. Hou said as she stepped forward to help Mrs. Cui.
Grandma Shi stepped aside.
"Oh, my mother, it hurts me to death.
Have you not eaten? You have no strength at all.
Ouch, my leg!" Mrs. Cui grinned in pain and yelled at Mrs. Hou.
Mrs. Hou said apologetically: "I'm sorry, it was my daughter who didn't support her well and made her mother suffer."
Mrs. Cui glared at Mrs. Hou, leaned back and calmed down, and waited until the pain dissipated before she said: "Only you three brothers and sisters are under my knees.
I'm injured right now, and I need someone by my side to take care of me."
Mrs. Hou nodded, "Yes, my daughter understands."
Mrs. Cui looked at Mrs. Hou, who had a downcast eyebrow, and her face became softer.
Then he said: "The empress is so noble that she cannot come to serve me.
There are many things in the house, and Mrs. Li is too busy to handle them, and she cannot always be at the bedside to serve her.
This matter of serving the sick can only be done by you. From now on, you will live back here."
Being filial to parents is the duty of children.
The situation of their family is indeed as Mrs. Cui said. The empress is too noble to attend to her relatives in bed.
Sister-in-law has a lot of things to do, not to mention that she is a daughter-in-law.
If she is not a daughter, she will be at the bedside and have no shirk in her duties.
Mrs. Hou nodded in agreement: "Is it okay for the mother to allow her daughter to go back to the house to make some arrangements, and then come over after the daughter has made all the arrangements for the house?"
Mrs. Cui was dissatisfied with Mrs. Hou's answer and said, "Didn't Sister Xing follow you? If there is anything that needs to be arranged, just tell Sister Xing."
Sister Xing is so old, she should be sensible now. When there are things at home, it is also a kind of exercise for her to learn to share her worries.
I can't live without anyone here for a moment, so just stay."
"this……"
As soon as Mrs. Hou spoke, Mrs. Cui glared over and scolded: "What's wrong? You don't want to stay? You heartless person, it's a shame that I raised you up..."
"The mother misunderstood, and the daughter was not unwilling. The daughter wanted to say that this is good, and she should do as the mother said."
After hearing Mrs. Hou's explanation, Mrs. Cui stopped scolding, stretched out her hand to wipe her face, and said, "I need to drink water."
Grandma Shi hurriedly turned around to get the water.
Mrs. Cui scolded Mother Shi: "Who told you to carry it? Take it away! I can't smell your smell, so get away from me, roll to the wall and stand there."
Mrs. Hou took the tea cup from Mother Shi and said, "Let me do it. You go and stand over there."
Grandma Shi nodded and said softly: "Thank you for your hard work, little aunt! The old lady has a bad temper, so please bear with me."
Mrs. Hou shook her head slightly, "I understand!"
Mrs. Hou walked to the soft couch with tea, served Mrs. Cui to drink it, and then said: "Mother, have a rest first, and my daughter will go and explain a few words to Sister Xing, and then come back."
Mrs. Cui said with a straight face: "Don't you understand?
I said, I can't stay away from anyone here for a moment, why can't you understand? What's your order? Ask Sister Xing to come and listen.
Or is there some secret in your house that I cannot hear?"
Mrs. Hou said hurriedly: "No, no! My daughter will call Sister Xing in now and give her instructions in the room."
Grandma Shi said: "My aunt, please stay with the old lady here. I will go and ask my cousin to come over."
"I have made you troublesome?" Mrs. Cui looked at Grandma Shi.
Grandma Shi quickly lowered her head, not daring to speak any more.
Mrs. Cui groaned and shouted loudly: "Here comes someone!"
After the words fell, An Xin opened the curtain and came in.
Mrs. Cui ordered to An Xin: "Go and bring Miss Cousin over. Her mother-in-law has something to do with her."
Retreat safely.
Mrs. Hou felt panicked, but she didn't think much about it. She just thought that Mrs. Cui was in poor health and was irritable, so she comforted herself not to care about the patient.
Shi Jingxing came very quickly. When he entered the door, he asked, "Auntie, what's the matter?"
Mrs. Hou handed over the matters in the house to Shi Jingxing and asked her to go back early.
Shi Jingxing looked at Mrs. Cui, bowed and said, "Okay, my daughter will go back first."
Mrs. Hou nodded, "Go ahead. Slow down on the road and pay attention to safety."
Shi Jingxing said to Mrs. Cui on the soft couch, "Grandma, take care, Xing'er is going back first."
Mrs. Cui glanced at Shi Jingxing and waved her hand feebly, "Go!"
Shi Jingxing exited the Nuan Pavilion and said to Aunt Han, "Mom, let's go back first."
Aunt Han looked into the room and asked puzzledly: "Are you going back now? Where is the madam?"
"Grandma injured her leg, so I need to stay and take care of her."
"But, everything in the house cannot be separated from Madam." Aunt Han said worriedly.
Shi Jingxing said: "Grandma's health is important, let's go! Auntie asked us to go back first."
Aunt Han hesitated to speak and followed Shi Jingxing into the car.
As the car drove out of the Duke's Mansion, Shi Jingxing asked, "Mommy, when did you come to serve your mother?"
Mother Han didn't think too much and blurted out: "When Madam was seven years old, the old slave entered the Wu Mansion.
At that time, the Duke's Mansion was still called the Wu Mansion, and the old slave was chosen by the old lady, not as the Duke's wife, but as the mother of the Duke. When the old slave entered the mansion, he entered the lady's yard and was responsible for the lady's daily life."
Aunt Han was afraid that Shi Jingxing would misunderstand, so she gave a special explanation.
Shi Jingxing nodded, remained silent for a moment, and said, "So, grandma has been with my mother for more than thirty years?"
Aunt Han said with a smile: "That's not more than thirty years! It seems like just yesterday that I saw my wife for the first time. In the blink of an eye, more than thirty years have passed. Time flies so fast."
Aunt Han sighed with emotion, a little sad on her face.
Shi Jingxing leaned forward and lowered his voice: "Mommy, tell me the truth. Isn't my grandmother treating my mother badly?"
