Chapter 569 Chilling Heart

   Mrs. Deng shook the teacup in her hand and almost spilled the tea.

   "What happened?" The old lady was used to seeing wind and waves, so she put the tea cup down and asked.

   The servant woman wiped her face with a strange expression: "The second wife and the second master got into a fight."

   "What?" Madam Deng thought she had heard it wrong and resisted the urge to dig her ears.

Ever since I learned that the second child is going to return to Beijing, the second daughter-in-law has been in high spirits all day long. She ran out and waited early this morning, but she couldn't stop her. already?

   "Master didn't stop you?" Madam Deng asked as she walked out.

   The maid's expression was even weirder: "The eldest master stopped him, but he didn't stop it, and was accidentally injured by the second wife. When the eldest master was angry, he and the second wife beat the second master together. Now the three of them are fighting at the door..."

   "What, the eldest master is injured?" Mr. He stood up abruptly, raised his feet and walked out, "No, I'll take a look!"

   Mrs. Deng's face was ashen: "Eldest daughter-in-law, please stop for me! It's snowing outside, what if you fall again?"

   Mr. He slowed down.

   Mrs. Deng took the opportunity to wink at Qiao Zhao: "Three girls, sit here with your mother." After speaking, she raised her feet and walked towards the door.

   Mr. He stroked his stomach and thought about it: "Zhaozhao, why did your second aunt fight with your second uncle? It's just that they fought, and they accidentally injured your father. It's really annoying!"

  Qiao Zhao heard that pregnant women tend to have weirder temperaments, so he followed He's direction and said, "Don't worry, mother, second aunt is a woman after all, how strong she can be."

   Mr. He tugged at the veil: "Your father too, how could someone be beaten, if only I were here..."

  He's look of regret made Qiao Zhao laugh and cry: What's the matter with the regretful expression on the mother's face that she didn't join the battle?

   Qiao Zhao looked towards the door while comforting He, and soon saw a group of people approaching.

   Walking in front was Mrs. Deng.

  The old lady walked in the wind, holding the ear of the eldest son Li Guangwen in one hand and the ear of the second son Li Guangshu in the other.

  Qiao Zhao helped He get up, his eyes swept across Li Guangshu quickly.

Compared to his father, who is as clear as jade, this second uncle, who has almost no impression in the mind of the little girl Li Zhao, looks much more vicissitudes, with thick black eyebrows, straight lip lines, and short beards under the chin. , makes him look more mature and calm than his brother.

  Qiao Zhao looked further back, and it was the second wife, Liu Shi, who had messy hair.

   Liu's left and right were the fourth girl Li Yan and the sixth girl Li Chan. The two little girls were obviously frightened, their expressions were terrified, and tears were streaming down their cheeks.

   Further back…

  Qiao Zhao's eyes narrowed.

   The people who are further behind are a little more intriguing.

  A young woman combing a woman's head is holding a child about two or three years old in her arms. The child is cute, and her **** grape-like eyes are looking around curiously.

  Qiao Zhaodu was secretly surprised by the beauty of the young woman's face.

   She thought that Princess Zhenzhen was already stunning, but she didn't expect that this young woman would give in so much, even because she was in her peach and plum years, she had a more mature and beautiful charm than Princess Zhenzhen who was still young.

  Qiao Zhao's heart sank inexplicably.

   This woman is so beautiful, I am afraid that the West Palace will not be peaceful in the future.

   She looked at the woman with cold eyes, and found that the environment where the woman first entered the Li Mansion was not at all cramped.

   "Kneel down for me!" Madam Deng sat down on the chair of the Grand Master, and a cold drink interrupted Qiao Zhao's thoughts.

   The black pressure on the ground fell to his knees. Standing Qiao Zhao instantly became the most conspicuous person. Even the second master Li Guangshu couldn't help but look at her.

  Qiao Zhao released He's arm and knelt down silently.

   "Three girls, you didn't make your grandmother angry like these incompetent bastards, what are you doing on your knees? Get up!"

   Mrs. Deng's voice was slightly deep and angry, Qiao Zhao stood up knowingly, and silently retreated behind He and stood still.

   Mrs. Deng looked at her two sons with a sullen face: "Two beasts, the older one will fight at the door of the house, isn't it ashamed?"

  Li Guangwen looked indignant and aggrieved: "Mother, my son is just dragging!"

   just pulled and shot, but the second brother is so badly beaten, what can he do?

   Old Madam Deng's blue veins jumped on her forehead, and she looked past her eldest son and looked at Li Guangshu.

  Li Guangshu's performance was much calmer than his elder brother's. He kowtowed to Mrs. Deng a few times before saying, "Mother, my son is unfilial. Come back, is your old man still in good health?"

   Looking down at the second son whose face was scratched, Mrs. Deng rolled her eyes and said coldly, "Thanks to you, I am still alive."

   "Mother—"

   Mrs. Deng slapped the table: "I knew you were such a bastard, so why don't you come back and stop me in the new year! Tell me, what happened to the people behind?"

  Li Guangshu turned his head, his expression and tone subconsciously softened: "Bingniang, come and meet the old lady."

  Bingniang immediately knelt down and took a few steps forward, holding the young child and kowtow to Mrs. Deng: "The concubine has seen the old lady."

   Madam Deng's lips tightened as she looked at Bing Niang.

  Li Guangshu teased and said, "Mother, this is your son's concubine in Lingnan, called Bingniang, this is your grandson Haoer, who is three years old this year."

   He stretched out his hand and stroked Brother Hao's head, and said softly, "Brother Hao, call grandma—"

   Brother Hao was very young after all, and suddenly seeing so many strangers felt uneasy, he turned around and threw himself into Bingniang's arms without saying a word.

   "Mother Rong, take Bingniang and Brother Hao to rest." Madam Deng said lightly.

After Bingniang and her son retired, Mrs. Deng looked at the second wife Liu Shi and sighed: "Second wife, get up and sit down. Is there anything you can't talk about properly? What kind of problems can be solved by the face-to-face fight of the juniors?"

   Perhaps it was the expressionless expression on the old lady's face when facing Brother Hao who gave Liu a hint of comfort. After entering the room, Liu, who was as pale as a ghost, did not collapse, and silently got up and walked to the seat.

   People who used to be refreshing in the past are now striding as heavy as a thousand catties, as if they have to use all their strength to drag their bodies forward.

   A trace of pity flashed in Qiao Zhao's eyes, and he looked at the second master Li Guangshu again, thoughtfully.

   This second uncle is actually the prefect of Lingnan!

   It's no wonder she didn't know, the little girl Li Zhao probably didn't care about it, she didn't have any memory, and she had too many things to take care of, so naturally she couldn't think of asking about it.

   "Four girls, six girls, come and accompany your mother."

  Li Yan pulled her younger sister Li Chan to stand up and stood behind Liu Shi like Qiao Zhao.

   "Boss, get up too."

  Li Guangwen got up immediately, snorted at Li Guangshu, and sat down beside He.

   Li Guangshu was the only one kneeling on the ground for a while.

   He felt rather shameless, and shouted: "Mother—"

  The old lady rushed over and slapped Li Guangshu directly.

   I took the kids out for a wave this afternoon, so I'll update it earlier.
