Chapter 397: The First Lady Returns to the Mansion of Duke Tong
A simple carriage was slowly driving on the small road leading to the Mansion of Duke Tong.
The eldest wife sat in the carriage with a heavy heart, her eyes red as if she had just cried, and she looked listless.
She didn't want to go back. When she was a child, she had seen enough of the brothers and sisters in the mansion fighting with each other!
Later, when she accidentally learned about her own life experience, she didn't want to go back home even more.
A few hours ago, her adoptive father came to discuss with her and asked her to go back to Duke Tong's Mansion first and wait for the prince to come and pick her up.
However, no matter how her adoptive father tried to persuade her, she refused to go back. With her status in Prince Beijing's Mansion over the years, she couldn't go back and face the faces of those people!
The adoptive father was helpless. He was breathing heavily with anger and wanted to beat up this soft-hearted wife!
However, when he slowly raised his hand, just when his hand was about to touch the pretty face of the eldest concubine, he took a look - the eldest concubine who closed her eyes tightly and was waiting for him to take action, and his heart suddenly ached!
Forget it, forget it, this is the only descendant of the Princess with the Broken Arm!
He had no choice but to slowly lean forward and sit down in the chair.
Suddenly, a violent cough sounded, and he could no longer hold it in and vomited some blood.
He picked up a handkerchief and covered his mouth. In an instant, the white handkerchief was stained with blood.
He felt dizzy and almost fell to the ground.
At first, the eldest wife was arguing with her adoptive father, but later, when she saw her adoptive father coughing non-stop, the eldest wife immediately ran over.
But when she saw the red bloodstains on the handkerchief and her adoptive father's face as pale as paper, the eldest wife could no longer hold back!
She yelled at the girls at the top of her voice:
"Quick, quick, go find a doctor!"
When they helped their adoptive father to the bed, the man who usually looked as tall and mighty as a beast suddenly became weak and powerless!
He is old, his hair is dotted with white, and his eyes are full of wrinkles. He is supported entirely by his belief, but after all, he is still an old man over sixty years old!
The adoptive father slowly opened his eyes. He glanced at Bijun who was crying her heart out, and struggled to sit up, but was pushed down on the bed by the first wife.
He told Dafujin weakly:
"Bijun, I don't know how far I can go with you, but I hope you can understand my difficulties!"
The pain in the First Concubine's heart was like someone stabbing her with a knife. Her husband didn't love her, and her child was in that mansion. What good would it do even if her adoptive father accomplished his great cause?
All she wants is the love of the simplest husband in the world!
The eldest wife wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and was about to refuse her adoptive father's request. However, when she saw her adoptive father's eager eyes, the words that were about to come out of her mouth were choked back!
She suppressed her sadness and agreed to her adoptive father's request to let her return home!
The carriage stopped in front of a luxurious mansion, and the eldest wife got off the carriage with the help of a little maid.
Looking at the vermilion gate and the imposing plaque on the door, the eldest wife was a little dazed for a moment.
Suddenly, the old man Zhang at the gate shouted, "Miss, why are you back?"
The eldest wife could only force a smile and said lightly:
"I haven't been home for a long time, come back and take a look!"
Thinking that the eldest concubine was now the head of the Beijing Prince's Mansion and that she was the Princess Rong appointed by the emperor himself, Old Zhang hurriedly opened the door as if to please her and let the eldest concubine in.
Before the eldest wife entered the main house, Old Zhang hurriedly shouted in the yard:
"The Missy is back! The Missy is back!"
In an instant, Mrs. Tong came out with several little maids.
No matter what, she is nominally Bijun's mother.
The First Lady saw that Madam Tong was no longer the same as she used to be. She was a little frail and walked slowly, but her complexion was still rosy and she was in good spirits.
The eldest wife took two quick steps to Madam Tong and was about to kneel down to greet her, but was pulled up by Madam Tong. The eldest wife suppressed her sadness and said with a smile:
"Mother, Bijun is here to see you!"
Madam Tong narrowed her eyes and said with a smile:
"Okay, okay, let's go back to the house!"
The eldest wife secretly breathed a sigh of relief and thought: Fortunately, my mother didn’t ask me why I came back!
As soon as we arrived at the main house, Mrs. Tong hurriedly ordered:
"Xiaohong, bring some freshly made pastries over! And tell the kitchen to make more of the Missy's favorite dishes!"
For a moment, the eldest wife felt tears welling up in her eyes, but thinking of her mother's old age, she had to pretend to smile foolishly and follow Madam Tong.
When they were the only two left in the room, Madam Tong suddenly seemed to remember something, looked behind Bijun, and asked doubtfully:
"Hey, why didn't you bring Xuan'er and Jin'er?
You don’t know, my mother is old and has nothing to do, so she made a lot of toys that children like!
Little clothes, little hats!
By the way, kites. The new servants in the mansion make very beautiful kites!
Wait, I'll ask the girls to call him over!"
Before Madam Tong could call the servant over, the eldest wife felt so sad that she almost died when she mentioned the children!
She hurriedly held Madam Tong in her arms, forced a smile on her face, and said to her:
"Mom, don't you want Bijun to stay with you for a few more days?
The kids always make a lot of noise when they come over and give you a headache!"
Mrs. Tong was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter:
"Okay, girl, you've been a pushover since you were little, and now you're competing with the kid for affection!
Forget it, just stay in the mansion for a few days!"
The eldest wife immediately leaned into Madam Tong's arms, thinking:
My children, how are you?
Mommy misses you guys so much!
Xuan'er is picky about food, and Jin'er has to lean on her mother before she can fall asleep at night. How did you get through these days?
Thinking of this, the eldest wife quietly wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, closed her eyes, and quietly calculated the time to return to the palace!
