Chapter 2319 Mother and Daughter
Lei Bingfu took a bath and felt very refreshed. She changed her clothes and went to the upper room to find Mrs. Lei.
"Miss, no, it's Concubine Hui who's here." When the maid in the upper room saw her, she almost jumped up with excitement, "Madam, madam..."
"What's wrong, madam?" Lei Bingfu smelled a smell of medicine as soon as she walked into the room. She frowned. Is she sick?
A flash of resentment flashed across the face of the maid who was holding the curtain in front, "My dear, my lady is sick from anger."
"Who dares to anger madam?" Lei Bingfu's face darkened, "Is it the master or Aunt Guo?"
"Your Majesty, the Master said that Madam was acting unfairly and handed over the housekeeping power to the second girl." The maid whispered, "Madam knows that you went on tour with the Emperor incognito, and asked the slaves not to tell you."
At this time, Mrs. Lei's voice came out, "Pomegranate, who are you talking to."
"Madam, the empress is here to see you." Pomegranate said.
There was a rustling sound in the room, and Mrs. Lei became excited, "Is it Fu'er? No, it's Concubine Hui."
Lei Bingfu walked into the room and saw Mrs. Lei on the bed trying to sit up. She hurriedly walked over and said, "Mom, please don't get up."
"How about that? I have to salute you." Mrs. Lei said.
"Why are mother and daughter so polite?" Lei Bingfu didn't care about these false courtesy at all. She supported Mrs. Lei to lean on the big pillow.
When she walked to the bed, Lei Bingfu saw Mrs. Lei's appearance clearly. She was startled, and her eyes were filled with shock, "Mom, how did you become like this?"
I separated from my mother two years ago. My mother was still rosy, but now her complexion is sallow, and she is extremely thin. She is ten years older than before, like an old woman. How old is my mother this year, how could she become like this.
"I'm not in good health, I've suffered a lot." Mrs. Lei smiled bitterly and had no intention of telling her daughter about her pain.
Lei Bingfu's face was gloomy. Her mother's health had always been very good, how could she have deteriorated in the past two years.
"Mom, tell me the truth, what happened?" Lei Bingfu asked coldly.
"Why don't you wait in front of the Emperor? Why did you come to me? I'm much better. After two days, the smell of medicine on my body has faded, and I will go to pay my respects to the Emperor." Mrs. Lei said.
"What kind of greetings can I ask for?" Lei Bingfu said angrily, "What happened to the family in the past two years? Why didn't you ask someone to come to the palace to tell me."
Mrs. Lei smiled and said, "Actually, it's nothing. That's what happens when people get old."
"Mom!" Lei Bingfu's face was ugly. Even the elderly in their fifties and sixties did not age so quickly, not to mention that Mrs. Lei was not yet forty years old this year. She looked at the maid next to her, "Pomegranate, what do you mean? , tell me everything, if you miss a word, I won’t be able to spare you.”
Pomegranate looked at Madam Lei with red eyes, then looked at Lei Bingfu, and knelt down with a thump, "Madam, Madam didn't let this slave tell you. When Madam comes back from Kyoto, I will ask Madam to give the second girl to you in Kyoto." I was looking for a marriage in the city, and it had to be from a noble family. If the lady refused, the master would..."
Mrs. Lei waved her hand, "No need to say more, Pomegranate, you can go out and I will talk to the queen."
"Mom!" Lei Bingfu's face was cold.
"How could I marry that little bitch? Not to mention the noble family in Kyoto City, who from the Wuling family would marry a concubine girl to be the mistress? He is not afraid of people laughing at him. He loves Aunt Guo wholeheartedly. Hurry up! She is praised to the heavens, and Lei Jieting has been spoiled to the point of being arrogant and has no self-awareness at all. I am too lazy to expose their dreams. Your father asked me to hand over the power of the housekeeper, so I will hand it over. Anyway, your eldest brother and sister-in-law are not At home, your eldest brother is the eldest son and grandson of the Lei family, no one can take away what belongs to him, I just want to live my own little life."
"The news that the Lei family was the concubine's housekeeper spread quickly. Your father thought it was me who spread the news outside, so I didn't quarrel with him. He allowed Guo to suppress me until the news came that you were favored in the palace. He was laughed at outside, and other aristocratic families did not associate with Aunt Guo. Your father wanted me to take over the affairs of the family again. I pretended to be sick and refused to take over, and he asked Sister Ting to My son took it over..." Mrs. Lei talked about what happened to the Lei family in the past two years.
Lei Bingfu gradually heard the truth. Since Mrs. Lei deliberately let Aunt Guo handle the affairs of the Lei family from the beginning, she must have known what kind of difficulties Aunt Guo would encounter. She deliberately wanted Aunt Guo to embarrass herself. No Reasons will damage your body.
Everything went wrong only after Lei Jieting took over.
"Lei Jieting played tricks on your medicine." Lei Bingfu said, and pointed out the reason. These tricks were so familiar to her, how could she not know what was going on.
"I have changed doctors." Mrs. Lei said, "Lei Jieting is more ruthless than her mother."
Lei Bingfu glanced at Mrs. Lei and said, "I will ask the imperial doctor to treat you."
This time Murong Ke was unconscious, and Song Jiong specially invited the imperial doctor. Having an imperial doctor treat Mrs. Lei would definitely be more useful than an outside doctor.
"It's useless, Ful, I've been poisoned." Mrs. Lei said in a low voice, "I just can't reconcile myself to being tricked by a little bitch." Mrs. Lei said unwillingly.
"Poisoning can also be detoxified." Lei Bingfu said, taking out a porcelain bottle from her arms, "This is the medicine given to me by Princess Qin. You take one first."
Mrs. Lei said in surprise, "What kind of medicine is this? Can it be taken?"
"Princess Qin's medical skills are unparalleled," Lei Bingfu said.
How could Mrs. Lei have never heard of Princess Qin's abilities? Since her daughter said it was okay to eat, she took it and swallowed it with water, "Fu'er, how are you doing in the palace?"
"It's not bad." Lei Bingfu said, "If I hadn't come to Wuling with the emperor this time, would you have planned not to tell me about this?"
"I sent someone to send a message to Kyoto, but there has been no news." Mrs. Lei whispered.
Lei Bingfu sneered, "It's not easy. Lei Jieting can reach Kyoto with her hands."
"You are here with the Emperor. Don't meet her, lest it affect your impression in the Emperor's mind." Mrs. Lei said.
"Mom, I really came here to deal with them this time." Lei Bingfu said lightly, "You have a good rest, I will go see my father."
Mrs. Lei frowned, "Don't make trouble with your father."
"Mom, do I still need to make trouble with him?" Lei Bingfu curled her lips and sneered. She was also Concubine Hui after all.
"He is always your father, don't let anyone accuse you of being unfilial." Mrs. Lei reminded in a low voice.
Does she need to be afraid of a father who spoils his concubines and destroys his wife?
"Mom, I know how to do it, so don't worry." Lei Bingfu said. She called Pomegranate in. "Take good care of Madam. From now on, no matter what food you eat, it will come from the small kitchen. Don't let outsiders interfere."
She also wanted to check the people in Shangfang. Someone must have been bribed by Lei Jieting!
