Chapter 144 A Rare Leisure

This was obviously because Mrs. Shen did not get a favor in front of the old lady, so she vented her anger on herself. However, it was her mother-in-law after all. Sister-in-law Shen had no choice but to kneel down and say: "My daughter-in-law is wrong. My daughter-in-law just said that according to the rules, mother's place is natural." It doesn’t have to be like this.”

Mrs. Shen snorted coldly: "You'd better check it carefully, lest I move the entire Shen family to your grandfather's house in Ludi. If there is any shortfall, I will use the dowry to make up for it. If it is not enough, I will also have the annual salary." Silver, I think I can make up for it in my lifetime."

Mrs. Shen got angry and saw Sister-in-law Shen's face turning pale with fright. She felt bored and waved her hand: "You can go out."

Only then did Sister-in-law Shen dare to stand up and hurriedly left.

Early the next morning, Mrs. Shen took Cheng Xiumei to Chunhui Courtyard to establish rules.

This rule was really solid. Mrs. Shen and Cheng Xiumei stood in front of the old lady, serving tea and water for a while, beating her feet and back, all the girls' work was done.

Cheng Xiumei was helping at first, but the old lady said: "As an elder, you should set a good example for the younger generation." So she asked Cheng Xiumei to stand aside and learn.

This is very painful for Mrs. Shen. Although she is the daughter-in-law, she should set rules. But as Mrs. Hou, she must set rules so strictly. I am afraid she is the only one in the capital.

Besides, Mrs. Shen is already old now and has been accustomed to pampering herself in the past few years. She has never suffered such a crime. At the end of the day, she was so tired that she finally waited on the old lady for dinner. Then Cheng Xiumei helped her back to the main place. In the hospital, I lay in bed and never wanted to get up. I couldn't eat anything except drinking some water.

Shen Qiujun was extremely distressed when he saw this, and hurriedly asked the people in the kitchen to make something refreshing, while he helped his mother rub her shoulders and back.

After resting for half a day, Mrs. Shen finally regained her composure and said to Cheng Xiumei, "Good boy, you have been standing with me all day. Go back and have a rest."

Cheng Xiumei was about to refuse, but Shen Qiujun hurriedly smiled and said: "Sister-in-law, go back quickly, I am here."

Cheng Xiumei then bowed and went back. She was also very tired. Although she didn't have to do any work, her legs were sore after standing all day. Besides, she was a wealthy lady. She had never suffered such a sin. She was setting rules in front of Mrs. Shen. It was just during dinner. I stood there and laid out the dishes, then sat down.

Shen Qiujun waited for Cheng Xiumei to go, and then said to his mother with tears in his eyes: "We are all members of the same family, and she treats my mother like this. It must be because of me. It's hateful that she has the title of an elder. She is actually There was nothing I could do for her at the moment, which made my mother suffer."

Mrs. Shen smiled hurriedly and said: "None of the things that happened before and after went to her liking. Naturally, she felt unhappy, so she let her vent her anger in the past two days. It will be fine in the future. Besides, who's daughter-in-law is not in front of her mother-in-law? Set the rules, and besides, she doesn’t beat or scold her, so if she makes a fuss, I don’t care. Filial piety is paramount.”

At this time, food was brought to the kitchen, and Shen Qiujun hurriedly took it. He personally persuaded his mother to eat some, and when no one was paying attention, he whispered: "How about mother pretend to be sick, so that you don't have to go to her place."

Mrs. Shen smiled and sighed: "Silly girl, it's too fake to be sick just one day ago. I'm afraid it would be even more embarrassing if she could call a doctor immediately. Let's talk about it in a few days. I'm just tired for a few days. , it won’t kill you.”

Shen Qiujun could only smile, but he was secretly planning in his heart.

Seeing that it was getting late, Mrs. Shen hurriedly urged her daughter to rest. Shen Qiujun saw that his father had also come over at this time, so he got up and left.

Father Shen felt distressed when he looked at his tired wife. However, due to his filial piety, he could not change his mind for the moment. He could only hold his wife's hand and said apologetically: "Thank you for your hard work! You have to endure these few days first, and I will make a decision." I will advise my mother well."

Mrs. Shen hurriedly smiled and said: "This is my duty for my daughter-in-law. I can't say whether it's hard or not. I've asked people to clean it up in the study. You can just rest there today. I have to let the girls help me beat it." Grip your shoulders and back, otherwise tomorrow will be even more difficult."

When Father Shen heard this, he smiled quickly and said, "How can I use the girls? What's the use of their ideas and they don't understand acupuncture points."

Mrs. Shen's face turned pink, but she no longer persisted.

The next day, Mrs. Shen still went to wait on her mother-in-law.

Not long after, Concubine Qi ordered the young eunuch to come and give the order: Please invite the old lady to the palace for a banquet tomorrow to cleanse her from the dust.

Mrs. Shen, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law both breathed a sigh of relief: When they arrive at the palace tomorrow, the old lady will not be able to rub people like this anymore for the sake of her own dignity.

The old lady thought for a while and then said to Cheng Xiumei: "Go back first. I don't need you to serve me here today. You can just follow me into the palace tomorrow."

Cheng Xiumei couldn't help but glance at her mother-in-law, and seeing Mrs. Shen nodding, she retreated and quickly went back to call the girl to beat her.

The old lady couldn't help but sneer when she saw the scene of her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law interacting.

When Shen Qiujun heard that the old lady was entering the palace with only her second sister-in-law, she hurried past her mother to wait on her.

Mrs. Shen was leaning on the cave, and a girl next to her was beating a pair of beauties there. Shen Qiujun hurriedly took them over and continued beating them.

Mrs. Shen saw it and smiled and said: "You can go about your business, I'm much better."

Shen Qiujun hurriedly smiled and said: "I see that my mother's complexion has improved a lot. It can be seen that this beating is very effective. If anything happens to me, I can just stay here with my mother."

Mrs. Shen smiled and said: "That's all I asked the girl to do. The main thing is your father's massage..."

Mrs. Shen suddenly reacted and stopped talking. When she saw her daughter smiling teasingly, she wanted to bite her own tongue.

Shen Qiujun was afraid that her mother would be embarrassed, so she quickly added: "This is not a long-term solution. We still need to find a way to treat her. At least she will not dare to embarrass you like this."

Mrs. Shen's face turned normal and she sighed: "This matter is not easy to handle. She is none other than your father's biological mother. It should not be taken seriously, otherwise it will not be easy for your father to explain. It is only natural for a daughter-in-law to serve her mother-in-law. She didn’t beat or scold me. Don’t mention your pretending to be sick anymore. Even if you do, your father should mention it.”

Shen Qiujun couldn't help but feel discouraged and muttered: "She has a strong body, but she is really a disaster for a thousand years."

Mrs. Shen hurriedly stopped and said: "Don't talk nonsense! Even if there are all kinds of things wrong with her, she is also your biological grandmother. You can deny her, but you must not talk about her like this in your mouth, otherwise the saliva of the people in the world will turn her into someone else. You drowned. She just took out her anger on me when she was unhappy for a while. After a long time, she got bored, so she let go. Besides, your grandfather passed away early, and she was a pillar of support in your father's heart. If she had a Anyway, I'm afraid your father won't be able to bear it first."

Shen Qiujun whispered: "Those who respect their elders must also have the magnanimity and demeanor to respect their elders..."

Mrs. Shen said hurriedly: "This is a matter between me and her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. There is no need for you, a junior, to interfere. I can handle it myself. Go back, and you are not allowed to say another word about this matter!"

Shen Qiujun had no choice but to return in dismay.

I was thinking about it along the way, and I envied the love between my parents. For example, although my mother had been working hard during the day these days, her father would care for her at night. It seemed that my mother was happier than others, but she also complained secretly. Because of his filial piety, my father was always at a loss when it came to matters involving his mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, which caused my mother to suffer a lot of injustice over the years.

For a moment, I thought about what the sixth prince would do if this happened to him? Would he just pull his wife off and leave, and say a few disgusting words before leaving?

Shen Qiujun thought of her mother's words again and couldn't help but put the eldest and second brothers in her place. If the eldest and second brothers dared to run in front of her mother and make a noise, not letting the sisters-in-law serve, and take their wives and leave, then she would never let them go. But My mother is not such a mean person. After all, my grandmother is old and disrespectful.

The more Shen Qiujun thought about it, the more confused her mind became. She felt sorry for her mother, but also secretly regretted how she had brought the Sixth Prince in for comparison. While she was thinking wildly, she saw Sister Huan kicking and beating the flowerbed.

Shen Qiujun quickly collected his thoughts, stepped forward and said with a smile: "Who made our sister Huan angry? Tell your aunt, and she will help you vent your anger."

Hearing this, Sister Huan turned around and wanted to run away, but was stopped by Shen Qiujun with a quick step. He pulled her over and was about to make fun of her rudeness, but when she saw her face was red and swollen, she couldn't help but be shocked: "What's going on? ,Be beaten by whom..."

Shen Qiujun hurriedly stopped asking questions. Sister Huan is a young lady from the Shen family. Anyone who dares to touch her must be because she is disobedient and has been taught a lesson by her sister-in-law.

Thinking of this, Shen Qiujun winked at Xue Liu, then smiled at Sister Huan and said, "That day, you said you were going to play in my courtyard. You never have time to go there. It just so happens that I can go there with you now."

Sister Huan tried to break free, but was ultimately defeated by Shen Qiujun and was dragged away by her.

As soon as she returned to the room, Xue Liu had already brought Bing over. Shen Qiujun wrapped it in a towel and handed it to Sister Huan for her to apply on it.

Shen Qiujun looked at Sister Huan and said with a smile: "You must be disobedient and dare to pout unconvinced after being taught a lesson by adults. Fortunately, you are still young and a girl. Otherwise, according to the Shen family's rules, then It’s about beating with a military stick.”

Sister Huan then said: "I think I'm right, but my mother didn't even listen to my excuse, so she slapped me. Humph, just because I'm an adult, can I be unreasonable?"

Shen Qiujun looked at everyone and smiled and said: "Looking at her temperament, she is indeed the eldest granddaughter of the Shen family." He then said to Sister Huan: "Your mother has been in charge of the affairs of the house recently and is too busy to drink water and eat. I don’t have time, and I don’t have time to listen to your explanation. Why don’t you tell your aunt and ask her to comment on the ceremony? If it’s really not your fault, how about asking your mother to apologize to you?”

Sister Huan glanced at Shen Qiujun, but covered her mouth and started to leave. Shen Qiujun hurriedly pulled her away and said: "Okay, okay, I won't ask anymore. You sit down for a while, and it won't be too late to leave after the redness and swelling subside." Then he praised: "You know how to keep taboos for the venerable. Your mother is really lucky to have such a sensible daughter like you."

Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Sister Huan's face turned redder and redder, and she avoided looking at Shen Qiujun.

Shen Qiujun was suspicious, but he secretly laughed at himself for being careless. Mother and son had nothing to say about what they were doing, so they still teased Sister Huan and played with her son.
