Chapter 470 1 Shoulder 2 Room 5
The next day, Yao Wanpei came to Cheng's mother. She had been thinking about how to incite Cheng's mother to help her get rid of Jiang Chunxi and her son. However, Cheng's mother's condition seemed to have worsened, and she was in no spirit at all. This made Yao Wanpei give up the idea, and she felt a little heavy on the way back.
"What do you think? Am I really a jinx?" As soon as he returned to the courtyard where he lived, Yao Wanpei asked his two maids.
"What nonsense is the eldest lady talking about?" Nuan Yan was very surprised, "Why do you take the words of the second young master's wife seriously? What's the unlucky star? That's just nonsense."
"Yes! Madam, you must not be affected by the slanderous words of the Second Young Master's wife," Nuan Feng also said, "Otherwise, if the Second Young Master's wife knew that you were affected by her slanderous words, who knows how proud she would be."
"My aunt's condition has worsened again," Yao Wanpei said as he sat down with a frown on his face. "If my aunt's condition continues to get worse, then regardless of whether Jiang Chunxi's words are slandering me or not, I'm afraid..."
Yao Wanpei didn't dare to think about it anymore. At this moment, she suddenly felt an indescribable panic in her heart.
"No, Second Madam is a lucky person. I believe that Second Madam will recover soon." Although she said this, Nuanyan was still very uneasy and could only pray secretly in her heart that Second Madam would recover soon.
"Madam, Madam," a maid ran in at this moment, "Madam is feeling unwell and has asked for a doctor. Please go and see her right away!"
"What?" Yao Wanpei stood up and suddenly felt a little dizzy. "Why do you feel unwell for no reason? Wasn't mother's illness almost cured? Why do you feel unwell again?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Yao Wanpei didn't bother to say anything else and hurriedly walked out.
When Yao Wanpei arrived at the eldest lady's yard, the doctor had already left.
"Cough cough!"
As soon as Yao Wanpei walked in, he saw the eldest lady sitting on the bed and coughing non-stop.
"Mother, what happened to you?" Yao Wanpei asked anxiously, "Weren't you fine yesterday? Why are you sick today?"
"Cough, cough!" Mo Haixiu covered his mouth with a handkerchief and coughed a few times. Then he smiled weakly and said, "It's nothing serious. It's just an old problem. It might be because I was blown by the cold wind when I sent your father-in-law to the morning court this morning, so the coughing problem came back again."
It is already autumn. Mo Haixiu got up before dawn to send her husband to the morning court. Maybe she was blown by the cold wind at the door, which caused her cough to relapse. In any case, Mo Haixiu didn't take it too seriously.
Yao Wanpei heaved a sigh of relief: "It's good that nothing serious happened. My daughter-in-law almost worried me to death on the way here."
"You kid," Mo Haixiu laughed helplessly, "Oh! By the way, I have discussed with your second aunt and plan to hand over the household affairs of the mansion to you. I will ask someone to send you the key to the warehouse and the account book later. Just let go and do it. If you don't understand anything, go ask your second aunt. Your second aunt has been the housekeeper for these years. There are some things that you can ask your second aunt more clearly than me."
Mo Haixiu said this not for the sake of having some free time. She has not taken care of the family for many years, so naturally she would ask her younger brother and sister-in-law about the social interactions outside.
Yao Wanpei's aunt had already told her about this matter when she went to her aunt's house, so she was not too surprised. However, she was still very happy to get the warehouse key and account book so quickly.
Yao Wanpei chatted with Mo Haixiu for a while before leaving. After she left, Aunt Xu beside Mo Haixiu looked embarrassed.
"What's that expression on your face?" Mo Haixiu quickly noticed the strangeness of Aunt Xu. "Just say whatever you want to say. If you show such an expression, it seems like I, as your master, have treated you unfairly and made you feel awkward even when you want to say a word."
"Cough cough!" As soon as the voice fell, Mo Haixiu started coughing again.
Nanny Xu quickly patted her master on the back and quickly served her hot tea. After seeing her master finally stop coughing after drinking the hot tea, she said, "Madam, I just feel that the words of the Second Young Master's wife don't seem to slander the First Young Master's wife."
"Just think about it. The old lady was originally in such good health, but just when the second master and the eldest young lady's wife had set the date for their wedding, the old lady suddenly fell ill, and her condition became worse day by day."
"Let's talk about the Second Madam! The first young lady fell ill on the night she got married. This morning I went out and met someone in the Second Madam's yard. I heard that the Second Madam's condition seemed to have worsened today. And you are also..."
Madam Xu frowned tightly and said, "Madam, anyway, I think what the Second Young Master's wife said is not completely unreasonable. Maybe the First Young Master's wife is really a jinx."
"Shut up right there," Mo Haixiu scolded Aunt Xu, "Who gave you the guts to make up stories about the eldest young master's wife? Don't think that just because you're my confidant, you can take advantage of your seniority and say whatever you want."
"My dear madam, I am not too worried about you, that's why..." Nanny Xu looked like she was about to die of anxiety, "Anyway, I think it would be better to send the eldest young lady's horoscope to the monks in the temple for a look. Anyway, we can do it secretly, and we don't have to worry about the eldest young lady knowing and hurting her heart."
"Okay, stop talking," Mo Haixiu said with a cold face, "If there is any problem with Wanpei's horoscope, can my sister-in-law let Wenxuan marry Wanpei? Anyway, don't say such things again in the future, otherwise you won't have to serve me anymore."
Having said that, it is impossible to say that Mo Haixiu did not take Nanny Xu's words to heart at all.
However, she still chose to trust her sister-in-law. After all, Wanpei is now married to Wenxuan. Even if her sister-in-law would cheat her son, she can't cheat her own son!
After hearing what her master said, Nanny Xu naturally didn't dare to say anything more, but she really felt that the eldest young master's wife was a jinx.
As for the fact that there is no problem with the eldest young lady's horoscope, perhaps it is because people with less spiritual attainments cannot calculate it. If we find a high-level monk to calculate the eldest young lady's horoscope, he will definitely be able to figure out her true destiny.
When the eldest master returned home from court, he learned that his wife was sick again. Naturally, he was very worried. After all, his wife had just almost recovered from her illness, but now she fell ill again. How could the eldest master not be worried?
However, although he was worried, the master didn't think too much about it. In any case, he didn't suspect that Yao Wanpei was a jinx.
At the same time, in the village outside the city.
Upon learning that her daughter had brought her grandson to live on the farm, Jiang's mother went out early today to look for her daughter.
