As soon as the old lady's voice came out, Zhang Liyuan woke up from the madness.
After I woke up, the first thing that filled my heart was not hatred, but fear.
She couldn't imagine the days after leaving the Chen family. Before she entered the house, she had to rely on the Chen family for protection. Otherwise, there would never be less filthy words surrounding their mother and daughter... If she was
If the Chen family is driven out, life will be worse than death.
After experiencing near-death, she never wanted to die. Zhang Liyuan shrank and wanted to explain, "I..."
Chen Yuanlue sighed, "Go back and have a good rest. Don't think too much. It's important to take good care of yourself."
Seeing that he was still willing to comfort himself, Zhang Liyuan lowered his eyes and said, "Yes. I was just too excited, and I didn't mean to do it."
"That's good." The old lady answered, "From today on, you have to remember that your child died in infancy and has nothing to do with anyone else. Do you understand?"
Zhang Liyuan's lowered eyes were full of hatred, "Yes."
After the mother and daughter went out, the old lady looked at Mrs. Hu and said, "For the sake of your parents, this matter is suppressed. But if there is a next time, if you attack my Chen family blood again, your parents will never do it again."
It's useless to plead for mercy, our Chen family cannot tolerate a vicious person like you!"
Hu's blessed body, "I don't dare to do it anymore."
After the Hu family members all left, the old lady looked at Chu Yunli and said, "I should give you a big credit for being able to find the real culprit behind the scenes this time."
Chu Yunli shook her head inwardly. It would be great if the mother and son didn't remember her grudge. Why should they remember their achievements?
Sure enough, after the old lady paused, she continued, "You are the wife of the Chen family, and you must be responsible for yourself and the Chen family for everything you say and do..."
Chu Yunli said seriously, "Yes, I don't allow anyone to use these ghostly methods in the Chen family, so I told the people below to pay attention to the murderer. Fortunately, my efforts were not in vain."
The words were high-sounding, but the old lady knew clearly that if it wasn't for the purpose of clearing her of suspicion, she probably wouldn't have bothered so much. She felt unhappy and said, "You are right. But this matter is not glorious.
The family scandal cannot be publicized. Since our family has settled the matter, there is no need to tell outsiders. Do you understand?"
"My daughter-in-law understands!" Chu Yunli answered without any guilt. Anyway, she is not the one who caused trouble. She doesn't need to take action at all. Zhang Liyuan's resentment can bring the Chen family into chaos.
.
When the old lady saw that she was not moving, she said, "You go back and see the children first. Yuan Luo and I have something to say."
Sure enough, my daughter-in-law is an outsider!
Chu Yunli opened the curtain and went out. Because the matter discussed today was secret, there was no one outside. Her thoughts changed, and she stepped lightly on the spot, landing in the ears of the people in the room, probably outside.
People move further and further away.
After a few breaths, Chu Yunli paused and heard the old lady in the room sigh, "Yuan Lue, I didn't know you couldn't bear to leave Mrs. Zhang, but did you realize just now that she... can't stay."
"Mom!" Chen Yuanlue's voice was urgent, "I promised the wet nurse that I would take care of her, but now that things have turned out like this... I will send her away from afar!"
"It would be a big mistake to kill the snake!" the old lady scolded with sullenness, "If you don't want to, I will do it myself."
"Mom!" Chen Yuanlue was also a little angry, "I will tell her properly. After all, she did nothing wrong. She was harmed like this. She is the victim. How can you be so cruel..."
The old lady became even more angry, "If I hadn't been so cruel, where would our mother and son be today?"
"It won't work anyway." Chen Yuan finished his sentence, turned around and walked out.
Hearing the sound of footsteps approaching, Chu Yunli walked out lightly. After going out, as if something was urgent, she quickly left along the verandah, turned a corner and paused, holding on to the railing to look at the scenery.
Just as he stood still, Chen Yuanlue strode over. Seeing Chu Yunli, he frowned, "Why are you still here?"
Chu Yunli turned around slowly and replied, "I'll wait for you."
Chen Yuanlue had no doubts at all, his brows were furrowed and he looked worried.
Chu Yunli smiled and asked, "Seeing that you are so worried, did your mother tell you something?"
"Nothing!" He dropped two words and strode away.
Looking in that direction, we are heading to Zhang Liyuan's yard.
Chu Yunli walked slower and slower, and ordered Sanqi, "Find someone to keep an eye on him."
In the evening, Chu Yunli got the news that Chen Yuanlue went out with a fat maid.
It was better to send Zhang Liyuan away.
The next morning, as soon as Chu Yunli got up, Sanqi came in and reported, "Aunt Hu said that I have something important to discuss with you."
Now that Mrs. Hu is under lockdown and cannot come to pay her respects, she means that Chu Yunli should go to her yard.
Except when she gave birth to a child, Chu Yunli had never been to her yard. Hearing this, he said, "Just say that I have something to do and it is temporarily inconvenient. Let her speak directly." She was born in the Hu family, and so is Chu Yunli now.
Mistress, and the Lin family is much better than the Hu family, there is no reason for her to come as soon as she is called.
Not long after, Mrs. Hu's personal maid came, knelt down and said, "Auntie found out that Auntie Zhang was no longer in the house and wanted to report it to Madam. She also felt that the reputation of running away from concubines was not good, so she kept silent."
Chu Yunli half-smiled, "Your aunt knows a lot of things." Especially since she was still under grounding. The Master just left last night, so he came to report her this morning. Maybe when he left last night, Mrs. Hu had already
knew.
The maid hurriedly explained, "The woman in the yard saw it when she went to the big kitchen to get snacks."
Chu Yunli didn't believe this anyway, so he just said, "I will go and see it."
Zhang Liyuan's yard was a little quiet, no different from before. As soon as Chu Yunli entered the door, he saw Zhou Xianle on the swing under the big tree, "Where is your mother?"
Zhou Xianle shook her head, "I went out with my father last night and didn't come back."
It doesn't cover up at all.
Speaking of which, the old lady didn't say that Zhang Liyuan was grounded yesterday, and it was Chen Yuanlue who took him away. It would be wrong to search for him in a big way. After thinking about it, Chu Yunli went to the old lady's yard and told Mrs. Hu what he said.
The old lady's face was ashen. Although she knew that Chen Yuanlue would send people away if he disobeyed her, she still felt uncomfortable after hearing the news. After hearing Chu Yunli's words, she felt that Mrs. Hu had gone too far and everyone had been harmed by her.
Still not giving up, he scolded, "She has to take care of Yuan Lue when he takes his concubine to a faraway place, and even runs away from me! That's nonsense!"
Then he raised his voice and ordered, "Come here, tell Aunt Hu to be honest! If she can't speak, just keep her mouth shut."
Immediately the mother-in-law answered.
Two days later, Chen Yuanlue came back, and Zhang Liyuan came back with him. They seemed to be just as the old lady said, it was him who took his concubine on a long trip.
After the two came back, they first went to Changfuyuan. When Zhang Liyuan came out, his face was calm. The madness and resentment from before could no longer be found. His whole person was gentle and warm. He smiled first when meeting people. If he hadn't been fatter than before, he would have appeared at first sight.
I thought it was the first time I met him in a back alley.
In the following days, Chen Yuanlue was busy discussing the merchant ship with the Yu family. After returning, he would either stay in the study or stay with Zhang Liyuan. Of course, during this period, he went back to the main courtyard several times to stay overnight.
They were all choked by Chu Yunli.
After Zhang Liyuan came back, she was quiet for a few days, and began to greet Chu Yunli again. After she left, there was a difference when she first entered. At first, she entered in a pink sedan, but every time she greeted Chu Yunli, her eyes were arrogant, as if
It was a humiliation for her to have her blessed body. But now, a set of movements are performed perfectly, from the smile to the words and deeds, there are no flaws, and there is no trace of reluctance.
It would be disappointing if she was still as crazy and reckless as before. Now that she is like this, Chu Yunli is relieved.
Zhang Liyuan was not only respectful to her, but also stayed at Changfuyuan. The old lady didn't like them, mother and daughter, but she went there every day, kowtowing outside even if she couldn't get in. Gradually, the old lady would also call
She went in to ask a few words.
The Hu family has been grounded, and the child named Chen Baoan has been staying in the old lady's yard. Seeing the old lady becoming more and more kind to Zhang Liyuan, the Hu family can't sit still. She can't go out to plead for mercy, and the Hu family once again
Come to your door.
But this time, the old lady did not let them get what they wanted, and the child still stayed in Changfuyuan. The reason was ready: Mrs. Hu was too vicious, and she did not trust her to educate the child.
Chu Yunli also went to Changfuyuan every three days to pay her respects. He saw that the old lady's face was getting paler and her spirit was getting worse, but she didn't say much. It was like Lin Ranran's health was getting worse and worse in her previous life, and her skin was sallow.
, there was something wrong at first glance, and the old lady pretended not to see it.
Finally, one morning half a month later, the old lady failed to get up. When it was time to get up, she was still asleep.
Changfuyuan was in chaos. Chen Yuanlue and his son, who were about to go out, rushed to the bed and asked the doctor to check. He only said that the old lady might be too old to be mentally exhausted and lethargic, so she just wanted to have a good rest.
In this way, there are many medicines in the world, some of which are very poisonous and can kill people immediately, and there are also many medicines that are incompatible with each other. After taking them, people will naturally fall ill, leaving no reason for them to find any reason.
What the old lady has is the latter.
There was something wrong with the spices in her house. If she smelled too much, she would suffer from insomnia and nightmares. Later, she would have nightmares. If she couldn't sleep well at night, she would definitely not be able to wake up in the morning.
When it was bright outside, the old lady finally woke up, but she was in poor spirits and felt a little depressed. The doctor couldn't see anything wrong, so Chen Yuanlue had to let them leave.
Another half month has passed, and the old lady has basically been sleeping during the day. She has been out of water for two days and is about to die.
Chu Yunli found someone and said something to Chen Yuanlue's entourage about the harmful effects of spices.
Spices can indeed harm people, but this is not an ordinary thing. Most people can't even come into contact with spices, let alone harm others with spices.
The attendant stood in the corner of the study, listening to the doctor mentioning the old lady's condition, "As you get older, you will suffer from all kinds of diseases..."
Chen Yuanlue listened carefully. However, the attendant thought about what he heard about spices over and over again. Finally he couldn't help it and asked, "Is there something wrong with the incense?"
The doctor was startled and began to ponder.
Chen Yuanlue immediately sent someone to bring the incense from the old lady. After the doctor looked at it, he nodded and said, "There are two more herbs here, which can indeed make people think and dream more. As time goes by, the health will get worse and worse.
"
Chen Yuanlue looked extremely ugly and said in a deep voice, "Check!"
The woman who brought the incense in the old lady's yard immediately knelt down and said, "These are... sent by Aunt Zhang."
