How to catch the best husband [MTL] ✔

Chapter 1: Xue Mansion

Early in the morning, several little servant girls in green clothes were sporadically cleaning a slightly dilapidated and desolate courtyard. The illness of the mistress made the courtyard lifeless.

Seeing that bi'er was only sitting on one side eating melon seeds, the new peach asked, "Sister bi'er, but didn't you sleep well yesterday?"

Bi'er spits out a mouthful of melon seed skin: "Don't be so attentive. You'd better find a way back for yourself. The mistress may be running out of time."

She glanced at Xiaotao's industrious appearance and disdained to say, "Don't say that my sister didn't teach you. Give the housekeeper some benefits. Maybe you can find something to do with aunt Bai. Even if you sweep out the flowers in the yard here, who will you show it to?"

Xiaotao said strangely, "Didn't you say that madam's cousin who is a capital official plans to visit in a few days? Does the master dare to be so cold?"

"As for our wife's sick son, it's not certain whether we can wait until the one comes. If we die of illness, what can outsiders say?"

Bi'er glanced: "Our Lady has no support from her mother's family, no respect from the Lord and no talent. She has been ill for more than half a year now. It looks bad. You'd better make plans early."

In the narrow East chamber, a suppressed low cough overflowed from the seven part old curtain. A kind-hearted woman came in with the soup and medicine, and whispered, "Madam, the medicine is coming."

The little servant girl waiting in the room quickly lifted the green curtain and revealed the half lying woman with a waxy yellow face inside.

With the help of the servant girl, the woman sat up on the pillow. As soon as the woman took a mouthful of medicine, the liquid medicine was coughed out by the woman.

"No, don't bother. Cough, what's going on outside?"

Mrs. Hu wiped the remaining liquid medicine from the corners of the woman's mouth with her handkerchief and sighed: "Aunt Bai has become more and more unscrupulous these days when you are ill. She dares to deduct the rules of the Lord's mother's yard."

The corner of the woman's mouth aroused a dismal smile and said faintly, "My body can't wait long. She can't hold her breath."

"Madam, you should take care of your health. My uncle will come to visit you in a few days. At that time, my Lord will be afraid. The life of our hospital will be better." Mrs. Hu bowed her head, a trace of guilt flashed in her eyes, and scooped up a spoonful of soup medicine.

Bai Shi really couldn't wait. After his wife drank this bowl of medicine, Mrs. Hu's daughter could go to Aunt Bai to be a big servant girl. She can not think of herself, but she must always plan for her daughter.

"Mom Hu, let me finish and drink again." The woman raised her hand and trembled to block the spoon handed over: "I don't have any souvenirs in Xue's house."

She took a deep breath, but coughed uncontrollably. After a while, she calmed down: "Ah Xu's official journey is smooth now, and her aunt must have had a good time. Cough, it's still a pity that she can't see her uncle and aunt before going."

Mrs. Hu put down her soup bowl and looked at the mistress in front of her. The haggard face of the woman faintly coincided with the calm and beautiful little lady ten years ago.

As the years passed, the aunt in the west wing was still charming, but in front of her, it seemed that she was over half a hundred years old.

"Madam, the medicine is getting cold." Mrs. Hu whispered to remind her that her wife is kind-hearted. They servants have always been favored by her. Alas, now she can't help it. Mrs. Xue barely sat up straight. She drank a mouthful of black juice with Mrs. Hu's hand and looked up at her: "Mom Hu, you've worked hard these years."
