Chapter 344: Praying for the Border Soldiers
Not only did the man win a victory at the border and find her uncle safely, the two brothers also made great contributions to the court.
It can be predicted that as long as they return safely this time, rewards from the court are inevitable.
Therefore, the Second Lady is no longer anxious about her daughter’s affairs. When her father comes back and learns that his daughter has suffered such a great injustice, he will definitely not let it go.
The Luo family wanted to control me, but that was a wrong idea.
"You...are simply unreasonable!"
Being driven away like this, Mrs. Luo felt very embarrassed. She stood up from her chair and looked at the Second Madam ferociously. It took her a long while before she managed to say a word.
"In that case, you should ask my good daughter-in-law to come out. My mother-in-law has come to the house in person, but she didn't even show up. What kind of words are these?"
If you don't feel sorry for my daughter and have the heart to let her suffer from illness, then don't blame me, your mother-in-law, for tormenting your own daughter.
Mrs. Luo thought that she was not a wicked mother-in-law. Ever since Xu Lewan married into the Luo family, she had treated her well. Except for the first few days after she came into the family, she rarely asked her to go to her room to set rules.
There is no such thing as visiting my daughter-in-law every morning and evening. Perhaps it is because of my indulgence that I have made my daughter-in-law become so willful and capricious.
She made up her mind that after bringing Xu Lewan back this time, she must temper her temper and not let her run to her parents' home for the slightest thing...
Mrs. Luo had a good idea, but she didn't expect that the Second Lady was not threatened by her at all and also looked sullen.
"The mother-in-law came at an unfortunate time. Wan'er packed her things early this morning and went to the Buddhist temple with her grandmother to pray for the soldiers at the border. She will be fasting and chanting for a month before coming out."
After receiving a letter from the man from the Xu family yesterday, the old princess went home to burn incense for her ancestors and said that she would stay in the Buddhist temple for a month to pray for the soldiers. Xu Lewan took the initiative to volunteer and said that she would go with them. The grandparents and grandchildren bathed, changed clothes and moved into the Buddhist temple early in the morning.
I didn't expect that such a small action would become a good reason to deal with Mrs. Luo. This is really a pleasant surprise.
Otherwise, if Xu Lewan still acted stubborn and refused to go back even if she, as a mother-in-law, came to invite him personally, it would bring bad reputation to the girls of the Xu family and others would accuse her of being ignorant.
Now that she has entered the Buddhist temple with her grandmother and is praying for the soldiers at the border, anyone who hears her would have to praise her as a good girl who understands the big picture.
Mrs. Luo stared. Since the other party had said so, no matter whether it was true or false, she could not ask any more questions.
Thinking of Luo Shiya who was ill in bed, she gritted her teeth, took several deep breaths, and then managed a smile on her face.
"Oh, Wan'er is such a sensible and good girl. Your body is just fine, so you can't get too tired."
She sighed softly, then softened her tone and said:
"Her sister is now too sick to get up, and she keeps complaining about why her sister-in-law hasn't come back yet. I was thinking, since I'm here today, I might as well take her back."
Knowing that she was trying to save face, after all, her daughter would have to return to the Luo family in the future, the Second Madam did not want to make the relationship too awkward, so she just responded with a smile, saying that it was really unfortunate. If someone from the Luo family had come yesterday, Xu Lewan could have gone back to see them.
Anyway, it was just a casual talk and no one knew whether what was said was true or not, so the Second Lady did not have any psychological pressure at all.
"When mother comes out of the Buddhist temple with Wan'er, I will tell her about this immediately and ask her to go back and see Miss Luo."
Just wait, in another month, her father, who can't tolerate any sand in his eyes, will come back and see who dares to bully his daughter.
Thinking of this, the second lady's smile became even brighter.
"The matter of Yaer..."
Seeing the smile on the Second Madam's face, Madam Luo no longer cared about her face and hurriedly took advantage of the situation, saying with a pleading face:
"As her aunt, you have watched that girl grow up. You can't bear to see her being sick and unable to get out of bed, guarding medicine bottles all day long, and watching her become so thin that she looks unrecognizable."
Luo Shiya has been suffering for more than a month. The doctor said that she had caught a cold, but she didn't take it seriously. Who knew that her condition became more and more serious. No matter whether she took medicine or had acupuncture, it had no effect at all.
Not only that, as she drank bowl after bowl of medicine, she became weaker and weaker, and later she couldn't even get up.
Because Xu Lewan's medicine was tampered with, she even suspected that someone had poisoned Luo Shiya, but after a thorough investigation, she found nothing unusual. The medicine was also prepared by her own trusted people and had never been touched by anyone else.
Because she had devoted all her attention to Luo Shiya these days, she had no intention of asking about the matter of Xu Lewan being poisoned. Not only that, she also handed over part of her housekeeper power to the second and third houses to help deal with it.
It's not that I hadn't thought of Cui before, but she had just given birth and was still in the confinement period. I couldn't just go to her house to ask her to treat my illness, so I waited until the child was one month old before I hurried over. Unexpectedly, I was turned away.
"I can't do anything about this. Although they have returned to their ancestral home, they are not ordinary country guys. How can they obey our orders in everything? Didn't you see that they don't even want to come back to live here? Everyone is just being polite on the surface. How can I be so embarrassed to ask for forgiveness just for such a small matter?"
The second wife shook her head and began to complain, and brought up the incident that happened to Xu Lewan before:
"Wan'er's life was hanging by a thread last time, so I went to ask for help. I haven't had the chance to repay the favor before. If I ask for help again now, it will be too late. I guess even if I go, I will be chased out."
These words made Mrs. Luo's face turn pale and blue. The Second Lady was now like the legendary tough guy, and she didn't know where to start.
She wanted to ask again, but the Second Madam had already picked up the teacup and ignored her.
There was really no other way. Madam Luo thought of Princess Ning. The two of them had a good relationship over the years, so she asked the maids to look for her again.
"Please forgive me, Madam Luo. Today, Concubine Jing sent someone to take our princess to the palace to talk."
The old woman said politely with a blank expression on her face.
