If not abolished

After returning that day, Hu Shanxiang was locked up at home by her grandmother. He Yunyue asked her to go out several times but was turned away.

"I'm sorry, our old lady has been unwell recently. Our third daughter is very filial and has been taking care of the old lady all this time. She may not be able to go out during this period. Please forgive me, Second Miss He." The people sent by the He family did not even enter the Hu residence. Only the mother came out to talk to them.

The person who came back repeated the Hu family's words to He Yunyue word for word.

He Yunyue heard that Mrs. Hu was ill, so she came to visit her the next day and brought a lot of things with her.

This time, they entered the Hu family's house. He Yunyue was led all the way through the front yard, the flower hall, and to the main hall.

He Yunyue saw Mrs. Hu sitting at the top and bowed quickly.

"Bless you, ma'am."

"I wonder why Miss He suddenly came to visit today?" Mrs. Hu looked behind her, "and brought so many things?" There was a group of people following behind her, and each of them was holding a lot of things in their hands.

He Yunyue said with concern: "A few days ago, I sent someone to invite the third young lady to go out for a trip. I heard that the grandmother of the Hu family was not feeling well, so I thought of coming to see her."

Mrs. Hu's expression was a little unnatural when she heard this, but she quickly recovered, "It's rare that you're thoughtful enough to come all the way here." Mrs. Hu continued, "Originally, you should have asked Shanxiang to play with you for a while, but Shanxiang has been serving the old lady these days and can't spare the time. I'm really sorry."

He Yunyue expressed her understanding, "I wonder if the old lady is feeling better?"

"The old man's health is always intermittent, and he wants to get better. It's really worrying."

"Is it convenient for me to go and see the old lady?" He Yunyue asked.

Mrs. Hu looked a little embarrassed, and after a while she said, "I know you are a thoughtful child, but it is not very convenient after all. I am afraid that it will be bad for you when the disease is over. When the old lady is well again, I will ask Shanxiang to invite you to our house to play."

"That's right. I was inconsiderate. Madam, please accept these supplements. They are my little token of my appreciation. I hope you will be in good health." He Yunyue also knew that she would not be able to see anyone today, so she could only give the gifts and leave.

As soon as He Yunyue left, Mrs. Hu asked the people around her, "The old lady was unwell, how come I didn't know?"

"I haven't heard of this. The old lady's side is no different than usual."

"That's strange?" Mrs. Hu was even more puzzled. "Go and ask, who went to see Miss He when she sent someone to see her a few days ago?"

When Mrs. Hu returned to the main courtyard, the person who went to inquire had just returned. He told her what he had found out: "A few days ago, the He family sent someone to invite the third young lady, but before the message reached the lady, the old lady's people blocked the door and said that the old lady was not feeling well, and the third young lady was taking care of the patient, so she would not go out during this period."

"Okay, I understand, go down."

"What is the old lady doing? Why did she suddenly not let Hu'er go out and even lied that she was sick?" Mrs. Hu muttered for a long time.

The people beside him didn't know the reason and didn't dare to say anything. "This, I don't understand it either. The old lady has never cared about things like the third young lady."

"It seems that since returning from the last incense-burning trip, Xu'er has been staying with the old lady. Could something have happened last time?"

"Why don't Madam take advantage of Miss He's incident to go to Shouhetang and see if she can find out anything." The person next to her suggested.

"What a great idea you have."

Mrs. Hu came with her people. When Mrs. Hu came, she saw the grandfather and grandson sitting on the recliners, each holding a fishing rod and fishing.

Mrs. Hu came over with a smile and said, "Greetings to mother."

Hu Shanxiang also stood up and greeted.

"You're here. Didn't you greet me this morning? Why are you here again at this time?" The old lady turned and looked at her.

Mrs. Hu bowed and sat down beside her, then said, "The second young lady from the He family came over just now and brought a lot of supplements and gifts. This daughter-in-law doesn't know how to deal with this matter..."

"Her, go get me a blanket." The old lady did not answer her question immediately, but sent Hu Shanxiang away.

"Yes."

When Hu Shanxiang took the things out, her mother was nowhere to be seen.

"Mother left soon?" Hu Shanxiang asked as she covered her grandmother with a blanket.

"Your mother didn't come to see me at all. She obviously came to get information." The old lady picked up the tea and took a sip.

Hu Shanxiang fiddled with it for a long time and said, "If you keep pulling it, the blanket will become wrinkled."

The old lady put down the teacup, took her hand, held it in hers and said, "Don't worry, she doesn't know."

"Thank you grandma."

"Why would you tell me that?" The old lady changed the subject and asked, "By the way, your second brother hasn't been home these few days. When he comes back, ask him to come over."

"Grandma wants to..." Hu Shanxiang looked up at her grandmother and said.

"We have to find out who that person is, right?"

"Ok."

Mr. Hu was very busy during this period, going out early and coming back late every day. For several days, Hu Shanxiang had a hard time seeing him.

"Second brother," Hu Shanxiang waved to Hu Xuan outside the yard.

Hu Xuan hadn't seen his sister for a long time, so he smiled foolishly: "Why are you here suddenly?"

"Here, I brought you some delicious food. I asked people to queue up at Huguo Temple to buy it." Hu Shanxiang said as she handed him the thing in her hand.

"Third sister is still the best. She always thinks of me, her brother, in everything." But Hu Xuan was not stupid. His sister must have something wrong: "Tell me what it is. The brothers will definitely help you."

"Can't I simply give you something?" Hu Shanxiang looked at him innocently.

Hu Xuan gave her a look of disbelief.

"Okay, actually, it's nothing. She just said yesterday that she hasn't seen you for a while, so she asked you to go and pay your respects to her when you are free."

Hu Xuan breathed a sigh of relief. He was really afraid that his sister would say something he couldn't do. He had heard that his sister had been locked up at home and not allowed to go out these days. If he wanted him to help her leave the house, it would be a bit difficult. The main thing was that when his father and mother found out, he would definitely be severely beaten, and maybe his eldest sister and eldest brother would also be beaten. It was terrifying to think about it.

Hu Xuan said calmly, "I thought it was something. Go tell grandma. I'll go pay my respects to her later. Grandma must have missed me because she hasn't seen me for a long time."

Seeing that he agreed, Hu Shanxiang said, "Okay, I'll leave first. Don't forget to come over later."

"alright, I got it."

Hu Shanxiang ran back after she finished speaking. Hu Xuan looked at the food in his hand, shook his head and smiled.

"What are you grinning at? Come in and do some work." Hu An urged his brother when he saw that he hadn't come in for a long time.

"Come here."

"Third sister is looking for you?"

"It was my grandmother. She asked me to go and pay my respects."

"Then why don't you finish your work and go over there."
