MTL - After Giving Way To My Husband’s Sweetheart-Chapter 169 Show off your power
Although Luo Shi managed to get up, her body was still very sore. After eating, she leaned on the soft couch outside to deal with the affairs of the Dongyuan that day.
The two brothers Sima Zhengde and Sima Zhengren had a close relationship. Even after the death of the dowager, the two brothers did not plan to separate their families. However, Sima's mansion was very large, and the affairs of the east and west gardens had always been separated. Sima Zhengde's stepmother Wang was in charge of Dongyuan, and since Luo returned, Sima Zhengren had given full power to her in relation to the affairs of Xiyuan.
Luo was very tired today. She only picked up the important matters and finished them. Then she specially called the maid who was responsible for packing for her husband's expedition and warned: "The general will be away for at least one or two years. You must bring everything with you." Quan, you can check it carefully in the next two days."
In the past, Luo Shi was reluctant to leave her husband when he went off to war, but now Luo Shi is looking forward to her husband leaving as soon as possible so that she can live a more relaxed life without having to deal with him so hard.
The servant woman replied: "My servants have already checked that everything is complete and nothing is left behind."
Luo Shi was anxious and couldn't help but ask the maid beside her poetically: "Have you ever heard from the people around the general when will the army set off this time?"
She has asked Sima Zhengren about this matter many times, but every time he has been perfunctory with her. There are some things that he doesn't want to say, but Luo Shi can also find ways to find out from the people around him.
Although it is a troublesome thing to read the morning and dusk, not everyone has this qualification. Luo and Wang are the real wives, and it is natural for them to come to their mother-in-law to fulfill their filial piety. Apart from the two of them, there are only Su, who was favored by Sima Zhengde, and Xie, who was lucky enough to be the main wife for two years during the two years when she and Luo went to the family temple, have this qualification. For these two people, it can be regarded as a special favor.
“Ms. Xie, shut up!” An angry look appeared on Mrs. Luo’s face, and she scolded Mrs. Xie: “Although you are a concubine, you have been in our Sima Mansion for many years. How can you be so careless with your words?”
The madam just pretended that she couldn't see it. She smiled and said: "Lao Er sent someone to tell me early in the morning. The weather is getting cold now. Your body is already weak. It is inevitable that there will be bad times and you will feel uncomfortable again in the future. Just rest, I have plenty of people here to serve you, so you don’t have to worry about it." Luo Shi quietly sat down on the chair, and while he was accompanying Mrs. Tai and saying a few words, Wang, Su and Xie also followed one after another. It keeps coming.
Although Sima Zhengren would not sleep at Luo's place, he would definitely not visit her.
Thinking of this, Luo was so embarrassed that she was too embarrassed to read the poem. She was upset in her heart and couldn't help scolding her husband many times.
Xie Shi saw the charming look on Luo Shi's face after being moistened by rain and dew, and the faint look of tiredness, and she became even more angry.
After greeting Mrs. Xie, before she could sit down on the chair, Mrs. Xie glanced at Luo and said, "I came here to greet my mother this morning. Why didn't I see my sister?"
Luo Shi was too looking forward to her husband leaving soon.
Seeing the maid say this, Luo couldn't help but think of the sound she accidentally made last night. She was waiting outside, so she might have fallen into their ears.
Because she didn't make it in time to say hello in the morning, Luo was the first among the daughters-in-law in the house to arrive at Luo'an Hall in the evening.
Luo had a gentle temperament and rarely treated people like this. Xie also caught hold of her good temper, so she dared to be presumptuous. Seeing Luo being in trouble, Xie looked at the Dowager for help and said: "Mother, I am just joking with my sister."
Of course, she would not lower herself to ask. These matters would be taken care of by the capable servants around her.
The madam snorted coldly and replied: "Luo is my wife and you are my concubine. There is a distinction between superiority and inferiority. There is no reason for a concubine to dare to joke with the mistress. You have done something out of proportion in this matter. You should be punished by me." Mistress is the one who wants to apologize, what’s the use of you coming to explain to me?”
After seeing Mrs. Tai's gift, Luo rushed to make amends for herself: "I suddenly felt dizzy when I woke up this morning, so I couldn't come to pay my respects to my mother. It's really a sin."
Seventy-seven. Seventy-six. One hundred and seventy-nine. Two hundred and one
Like a poem, he looked at his master carefully and replied: "I can't see anything, madam, just don't worry."
Luo was good at lying, and she was thin-skinned. Although she had rehearsed these words in her mind several times on the way here, when she came to the Madam, she still said these words. She was completely lacking in confidence, and her face that suddenly turned red while speaking had completely betrayed her.
She is a dignified and virtuous woman. How can she show disrespect in front of outsiders?
Ru Shi replied: "A few days ago, my slave asked Qing Zhou. He just said it quickly, but he couldn't be precise."
She did not speak harshly, but her tone of voice carried the majesty of a patriarchal wife.
After resting for half a day, Luo Shi feels better now, but his legs are still a little weak.
Hearing this, she sighed slightly and replied: "That's all, help me pack up. It's getting late, and I should go and invite my mother-in-law."
However, Mrs. Luo didn't even look at Mrs. Xie. She only winked at the maid on the side. Upon seeing this, she replied: "My wife was not feeling well this morning, so she was unable to come to pay her respects to Mrs. Tai."
Rushi agreed and served Luo Shi to change her clothes. Luo Shi tidied up a bit. Before going out, she looked left and right at the bronze mirror. Then she slowly walked two steps on the ground and lowered her voice and asked the maid: : "Can you see the flaw?"
As he said this, Luo looked at Xie and asked, "Xie, do you know you are wrong?"
Fortunately for Mrs. Wang, she did not have much conflict of interest with Luo Shi. Even though she was mean to Mrs. Luo, she would not confront Luo Shi. However, Mrs. Xie met Luo Shi again. Shi, just like the black-eyed chicken.
Mrs. Xie sneered and replied: "I heard that the general stayed at my sister's place last night. Could it be that my sister is so greedy for the general's favor that she doesn't take her mother-in-law seriously? After all, my sister used to be the person with the most thorough etiquette."
Mrs. Xie refused to support her when she saw Mrs. Xie. She also knew that if her current identity conflicted with Luo's, there would be no good fruit to be gained, so even though she was unwilling in her heart, she had no choice but to bite the bullet and say to Luo. : "My words have offended me, please sister, please don't blame me."
Since returning from the Luo family, Sima Zhengren's thoughts have been focused on her. Last night, Xie heard that Sima Zhengren stayed at Luo family again, which made her feel even more unbalanced.
The Xie family is considered a very important family in the Great Zhou Dynasty. For the sake of the peace of the back house, although Luo is the official wife, she was not willing to get involved with a shallow woman like Xie in the past. But today, she is angry with her husband. , she couldn't help but burst out in public.
Since the attack has occurred, Luo Shi is not going to let it go lightly. Since Xie Shi dares to offend in public, she must at least give her a blow.
Luo Shi replied in a deep voice: "Since you know your mistake, I will be lenient today. I won't punish you with any family rules. I will only punish you with a half-month grounding and copy the family rules ten times."
