Chapter 5 — The Mother Who Wouldn't Go Hungry

"If there really is something in your private warehouse that you can't explain clearly, when Marquis knows it, won't it be even more difficult to end it?" "Something that you can't explain clearly?" I was happy and turned my head to look at my mother: "Mother, is there something in your private warehouse that you can't explain clearly?" The corner of the mother's mouth curled slightly: "It's all a list of dowry lists, land deeds, and a few boxes of ancient books and paintings from that year that my mother's family gave me as a dowry." "These things are all recorded in the book, clearly and clearly." I turned back to look at Concubine Lieu: "Have you heard? How about this, you just go make up for the shortfalls in the public book first and then come and check the private treasury?" "Anyway, the silver in the public book is lost before it's gone. The recipient, who is responsible for this, I'm sure in your heart you will understand clearly, right?" As soon as these words were uttered, the faces of the ladies behind Concubine Liu all changed. With those deficits in the public book, who among them has never saved a little fat? If we really pursue it to the end, this new official, Concubine Liu, will be the first person to be burned, I'm afraid the chair under her butt will be burned. Concubine Liu hated me so much that she gouged me with her eyes and hissed through her teeth: "I remember." She led people away, and when she left, she didn't even perform a ceremony. The mother looked at her back and suddenly burst into laughter. "You look at her waist, she's so hungry that she's wobbly on the road, yet she still feels like she's taking advantage." She shook her head, her voice was not angry, only a feeling that felt as if it had passed many generations: "That year, I actually considered this kind of person as an opponent, arguing with her for fifteen years." "It's not worth it." I helped her sit down again and poured her a cup of tea: "Even now I don't understand. late.”07In the next few days, Concubine Lieu began her “housekeeper” career. She ordered all the female relatives in the palace to restore the rules of not eating after the Horse hour, and even the small kitchen in my grandmother's house was removed. Changed the management of the kitchen's shopping, changed to his mother's family. As a result, up and down the Marquis Palace couldn't even eat a single bite of breakfast. When I told this story to my mother-in-law, she was watering the flowers in the yard, and after listening, she didn't stop. "Leave her alone." She poured a ladle of water on the pot of jasmine flowers, her tone carried a calmness as if she had seen through the world: "Didn't you say last night that you were making some kind of chicken intestine dish?" "In the hospital." I lowered my voice: "What are you afraid of if the small kitchen is demolished? I ordered someone to build a kitchen in the back room, the firewood was all secretly transported in from the door." later.” The mother put down the water bucket, turned her head to look at me, her eyes sparkling. "Let's go." That night, the mother ate chicken with fried intestines until her mouth was full of grease. My grandmother taught me to use a slotted spoon to scoop out the tripe from the bottom of the pot, pick it up, roll it in sesame oil and crushed garlic, then put it in my mouth and chew until it's crunchy. Halfway through eating, her maid suddenly rushed in, her face pale. "Madam, Marquis is here!" Before the words were finished, the courtyard door was kicked open. Bui Marquis stood at the door, behind were Concubine Lieu and Bui Canh, the three people's faces looked exactly like they were trying to catch someone cheating. Aunt Lieu tightened her handkerchief, her eyes filled with tears: "Master Marquis, look, I've already told you, sister and young lady hid in the yard to eat secretly, and even built a kitchen!" "The rules that I set were all broken by the two of them!" Marquis Bui's face was as black as the bottom of a pot. He strode in, banged his palm on the table, and the bowl and chopsticks jumped around. "Lam!" He pointed at the mother's nose: "I told you to rest and repent, you're fine, you can eat and drink to your heart's content here!" "Look at the oil on your face, look at the sauce on your shirt, do you still have the appearance of the Marquis's mother?" The mother sat still and did not move. She used a towel to wipe the corner of her mouth, raised her head, and calmly looked at her husband. "Bui Kinh

Chi." When she called his name, her tone was extremely light: "Are you finished?" The Bui Hau family was stunned by her attitude. The mother slowly stood up, standing very straight, her spine stretched into a straight line. "You said I don't have the appearance of a mother." "Then I ask you, as Marquis, barging into her daughter-in-law's hospital in the middle of the night, not even knocking, what kind of appearance is this?" "Grandma!" Bui Hau was so speechless that she stopped him. Concubine Liu quickly poured fuel on the fire: "Hou, this sister is so embarrassed that she's angry." "If you break the rules first, you still want to bite back, how can such a person stay in the Hau palace..." "Shut up!" The mother suddenly turned to Concubine Liu, her eyes so cold that she could freeze: "A concubine, screaming loudly in front of the mother, is this the rule of your Lieu family?" Concubine Lieu was glared at by this look and took a step back, huddled behind Bui Hau's back, not daring to speak. At this time Bui Canh stood up. He frowned at me, his face full of disgust: "Mother became like this, it was all because of her instigation." "Mrs. Shen, you don't take tutoring, it's okay, you still want to educate your mother, what are your intentions?" "What are your intentions?" I smiled, stood up and walked in front of him: "I intend to let mother eat a full meal."
