Chapter 30 - Mrs. Xie is sick

 Yunchu got sick after returning to Xie's house.

 Sickness came over her, and she had pains all over her body, and she couldn't sleep well.

The people who asked for peace in the morning waited in the side hall, and Hearing Frost came out and said softly, "Madam is sick, so there is no need to come over to ask for peace for a while."

Everyone knows that this time the lady is really sick, the doctor has invited several, and the courtyard is filled with the smell of medicine.

Aunt Jiang was full of worry and said, "The Sheng Residence is a busy place, why don't I stay and take care of madam."

Listening Frost shook her head, "Madam here has a few slave girls to wait on her, so I won't bother Auntie Jiang, everyone please return."

Xie Ping stood up and said, "Mother is sick, I shouldn't have nagged mother with small things, but I really don't know what to do, can Sister Hearing Frost help with an idea?"

"Eldest Miss wants to ask about the old madam's birthday, right?" Listening to Frost returned, "Madam explained that if the eldest miss really can't decide, she can go ask madam and the old madam."

 Xie Ping pursed her lips.

She couldn't understand why her mother suddenly remembered two children who had been dead for four years.

For the sake of those two dead children, not to mention slapped his father, and now also claimed to be sick and ignore the family affairs, really want to completely centrifugal with his father?

 Is mother really not afraid of losing her real power as the head of the family?

 After coming out of the Sheng Residence, Xie Ping headed to Anshou Hall with the account book sheets.

 The old lady and Mrs. are talking.

"Although those two children died young, they are still my Xie family's bloodline, how can they be buried next to the Yun family's ancestral land?" The old lady gritted her teeth, "She is no longer the Yun family's daughter, but my Xie family's clan wife, how can she let my Xie family suffer such a great insult?"

 Yuan sighed, "When this matter is scrutinized, it is indeed the Xie family's fault."

The child's body should have been brought back to the old Xie family house in Jizhou and buried next to the Xie family ancestral shrine, but ...

After all was said and done, it was still Jingyu who had paid too little attention to the two aborted children, and it was understandable that the Yun family had made a big fuss about it.

"Jingyu should have been promoted to the fifth rank on, but because of this matter, became the object of impeachment in the court." The old lady angry not light, "If it is not Yunchu sudden thought to rebury the child, Xie family where will be stalled on this file, she claimed to be sick nothing, how comfortable, bitter Jingyu in the court hall struggling ..."

 Yuan didn't know what to say.

At this time, Xie Ping lifted her steps and walked in, first greeting the two elders, before saying, "Old lady your birthday is coming up, I still have two things here that have yet to be finalized, I was looking for my mother to get an idea, and my mother was too sick to get up, so I could only come to bother the old lady and my grandmother."

 The old lady's face was very unpleasant.

Xie Fu is getting bigger and bigger, more and more trivial things, Yun Chu surprisingly even the birthday of such a big thing do not care, all handed over to Ping sister a girl who has not yet gone out of the cabinet!

This is to be sure that the Xie family can not do without the mother of the house, deliberately revenge four years ago the Xie family did not properly bury the child?

Last time she shouldn't have taken 20,000 taels of silver out to let Yun Chu continue to manage the family, and even let Yun Chu think that she had taken hold of the entire Xie family.

A cold smile surfaced on the old lady's face as she opened her mouth and said, "Sister Ping, which two things have not been finalized, you say them out and we'll discuss them together."

Xie Ping returned, "One is the list of invited guests, and the other is the dishes on the table, I think of it like this ..."

 She spoke her thoughts carefully.

She still wanted to invite some dignitaries to come, it was their business if they came or not, they still had to invite them in case they were willing to come and support them.

The old lady shook her head, "Because of yesterday's incident, the Xie family has become a joke in the capital, who would be willing to come to the door to celebrate their birthday?"

Xie Ping did not dare to say anything else, but had to carry out the second topic: "The old lady's birthday banquet I want to do some sumptuous, but more than a dozen tables of mats down at least two thousand taels of silver, the public accounts do not have so much money ... "

The old lady nodded her head without thinking, she only has a birthday once a year, naturally she wants to do a better job.

The birthday banquets of the past three years have been extraordinarily grand, and it is thought that Yunchu has posted some dowry money.

This year Yun Chu claimed to be sick regardless of these things, if the birthday banquet is done badly, the first to see the Xie family joke is certainly the cloud family.

She turned her head to look at is flanked by Mama Zhou, "Take three thousand taels of silver and give them to Sister Ping'er."

A smile appeared on Xie Ping's face, "Thank you, old lady, I'll be sure to throw a magnificent birthday banquet for old lady."

If this birthday banquet was well organized, her virtuous reputation for being a good housekeeper would surely spread, and people proposing marriage to the Xie family would surely step over the threshold by then.

With the silver, Xie Ping's errands were smoother, and she put all her energy into the birthday banquet.

After Yunchu recuperated for three days, her body gradually recovered, only her mood was still a bit depressed, she sat by the window all day reading books, making several maids of Listening Frost worried.

"Madam." Qiutong boldly walked in and hung her head, "After resting for three days, madam's illness is also better, and the matter of learning martial arts can no longer be put on hold."

Yun Chou closed the book, "Look at me, I even forgot such an important thing, go, practice martial arts."

 She changed into her crisp clothes and followed Qiutong to the courtyard to squat.

Although it was spring, the air had a coolness, but squatting in the yard for half an hour, the body soon tired out fine beads of sweat.

 Qiutong spoke, "Ma'am, it's time."

 Yunchu stood firm, "I can still hold on a little longer."

 She had wasted three or four days, and it was time to make up for all the time she had wasted.

At first, she was able to stabilize herself, gradually, her strength began to fail and her body shook every now and then.

 Listening to Frost went to persuade her several times, she refused and insisted on squatting for the full two hours.

After noon, Yun Chou finally rested, listen to the frost to give her a bath, changed clothes, the whole person this finally have some light.

"Madam, the old lady's birthday banquet will arrive in a few days." Listening to frost while rubbing her hair said, "This year's birthday banquet is all run by the eldest young lady, slave girl slightly inquired about one or two, she felt a lot of problems, ma'am, you still need to mention the eldest young lady, or else on the day of the birthday banquet, I'm afraid that something will go wrong."

Yunchu looked at herself in the mirror, "Let the wind out, just say that Mrs. Xie is sick, too sick to get out of bed."

 Hearing Frost hurriedly said, "Madam, you must not curse yourself like this."

"If just saying it can be true, then wouldn't it be a mess?" A faint smile surfaces on Yun Chou's face, "If I'm sick, whatever goes wrong at this birthday banquet will have nothing to do with me, got it?"

 Hearing Frost's eyes lit up, "The slave girl understands."

After she dried Yun Chou's hair, she then hurriedly walked out of the backyard and called Chen De Fu over to give a few instructions.

The first daughter of the General's residence, Mrs. Xie, the Household Department's Langzhang, was sick, and the news of her illness instantly spread throughout the capital.

"The other day that Mrs. Xie reburied her prematurely deceased child, dragging two coffins from the south of the city to the west of the city, you've all heard about that, haven't you?"

"This Xie family is really asshole, although the child died, but is also a bloodline ah, how can just find a hill on the buried, also not afraid of retribution."

"The first daughter of a good general's house, even marrying Xie Jingyu who was only a seventh grade at the beginning, I really don't know how the Yun family would choose such a marriage!"

 "..."

"I heard the shopkeeper of the Good Virtue Hall Pharmacy say that that Xie's backyard is restless, the aunts poisoned each other's foetuses, and Mrs. Xie's child who died prematurely in the first place can't be guaranteed to be harmed as well."

"I heard people from the Xie Mansion say that Mrs. Xie is very sick, she can't even manage Old Madam Xie's birthday banquet, it seems that she can't even get out of bed, so it can't be that she was also poisoned by her backyard aunts."

"The head mother of the house cannot bear children, and each of those aunts has given birth to a son, so I'm afraid they've developed delusions, thinking that if the head mother dies, they'll be put right themselves."

"Lord Xie can't even manage the women in his backyard well, can he be expected to be a good official ..."
