After the Hou family's mistress was reborn, the entire Hou family suffered disaster

Chapter 73
The Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet should be a good day for the whole family to get together and enjoy reunion.

In the past, when Jiang Fuyue's mother was alive, every day on this day, the aunts from the backyard and their children would come to the main hall, and everyone would have a lively meal and worship the moon together. The atmosphere was rarely lively in the Jiang family. Warm.

But now, there are only a few people there, and it seems very deserted.

Jiang Fuyue looked around and realized that even her second brother, the first child born to Mrs. Jiang, was not there.

In the past, this person was the most lively person. Whenever there was a banquet at home, he was always the first to arrive.

It was getting late now, and everyone had already arrived, so Jiang Baisheng took everyone to the table directly.

According to the rules, Jiang Baisheng sat in the first place, with Mrs. Jiang and Aunt Shu on the left, and sisters Jiang Fuyue and Jiang Fuyao on the right.

But when it was time to sit down, Aunt Shu walked over to Jiang Fuyue, pushed aside Jiang Fuyao who was standing here, and then raised her eyes to look at Jiang Baisheng pitifully: "Master, I want to sit here, Miss." around."

Before Jiang Baisheng could speak, Mrs. Jiang frowned in displeasure and yelled: "There are no rules! What kind of banquet is today? You can sit wherever you want!"

Although Jiang Baisheng said nothing, he was obviously on Mrs. Jiang's side.

Aunt Shu bit her lower lip lightly and said nothing, just looking at Jiang Baisheng with tears in her eyes.

Due to her frailty, her face was pale and she looked particularly charming.

Seeing this, Mrs. Jiang gritted her teeth in anger.

This vixen!

It’s the same trick every time!
It doesn’t taste too greasy either!
Jiang Baisheng was very satisfied with this. After being looked at by her for a while, he nodded and compromised. When he spoke again, his tone was much gentler: "Today is a family banquet, there is not much to pay attention to. If you are not in good health, you can sit down if you want. "

"Thank you, Lord." Aunt Shu saluted Yingying and sat down directly.

Jiang Fuyao gritted his teeth in anger and took Jiang Fuyu to sit next to Mrs. Jiang.

She didn't care about sitting with Jiang Fuyue, but she felt very uncomfortable seeing Jiang Baisheng favoring Aunt Shu so much.

Obviously in the past, Jiang Baisheng loved Mrs. Jiang the most, and he always spoke to Mrs. Jiang, but now...

Jiang Fuyao glared at Aunt Shu fiercely, as if she were a ferocious beast in the jungle.

After everyone sat down, the maids lined up and brought out the meals that had been prepared.

During the Mid-Autumn Festival, in addition to the extraordinarily sumptuous delicacies, crabs are naturally indispensable.

The maids stepped forward and placed the porcelain plates containing hairy crabs and eight pieces of crabs in the hands of the masters.

There were three hairy crabs full of fat and yellow on each porcelain plate. They were quite big, and the crabs were still steaming.

Jiang Baisheng picked up a crab with one hand and scissors with the other. He first cut off the crab claws and legs, then removed all the inedible parts of the crab, leaving the firm crab roe, and then took out the crab body and legs. For the crab meat, put the crab meat and crab roe in the crab shell, and finally add a few drops of crab vinegar, and you're done.

Jiang Fuyao had been paying attention to Jiang Baisheng's movements, with a hint of anticipation on his face.

In the past, when eating, if there were shrimps or other things that needed to be dealt with on the table, Jiang Baisheng would definitely clean them up and give them to her first.

This time must be no exception.

She even put down her chopsticks and was ready to pick up the crab.

However, Jiang Baisheng did not look at her. Instead, he handed the crab shell, full of crab roe and crab meat to Jiang Fuyue. His tone was rare and gentle: "Thanks to you for teaching me three things in the past two months." Sister, I know you love crabs, eat them quickly." Jiang Fuyue lowered her eyes and looked at the crab shell in his hand, but did not take it.

There was unconcealable disgust in his eyes.

Jiang Baisheng thought she was touched, so he handed her the crab shell again, with a hint of smile in his voice: "Stop looking at it stupidly, go on!"

Seeing this, Jiang Fuyue had no choice but to keep telling herself in her heart that she came here today to ask for something and not to annoy others.

She finally did enough mental preparation, and just put down her chopsticks to pick it up, when suddenly she stretched out an extremely thin hand with clear joints and took the crab shell.

"My lord, it's true that as soon as the eldest girl comes back, she won't care about me anymore. I can't rely on you!" Aunt Shu said as she lowered her head and took a mouthful of crab meat, with a bit of enjoyment on her face. "The crab is delicious. The crabs peeled by the master himself taste even better!"

Jiang Baisheng was amused by her jealous behavior: "You, why are you jealous with a child?"

Aunt Shu snorted softly and turned to look at Jiang Fuyue: "Girl, you don't blame me for stealing your crabs, do you?"

Jiang Fuyue smiled in relief and said, "How is that possible? Eat more, aunt."

"You are still sensible!" Jiang Baisheng looked at her happily, "Come on, father will peel it off for you again!"

"No, father," Jiang Fuyue stopped her quickly, "My daughter can peel it off herself, so don't be tired, father."

Hearing this, Jiang Baisheng felt even more anxious: "Good boy, let's eat quickly!"

No one looked at Jiang Fuyao, who looked ugly.

Mrs. Jiang noticed it, kicked her lightly under the table, and gave her a warning look, telling her not to sit here with a bitter look on her face.

Jiang Fuyao had no choice but to reluctantly pick up the chopsticks again and lower his head to eat.

There was silence at the dinner table. Everyone had their heads down and ate their own food. There was no festive atmosphere at all.

Suddenly, Aunt Shu started coughing.

She coughed harder and harder, as if she wanted to cough out all her internal organs, and finally stopped after spitting out a mouthful of blood.

On the plain white veil, there was a piece of translucent blood. The color was not strong, but it was particularly conspicuous.

Aunt Shu casually put the handkerchief aside and smiled apologetically: "I'm really sorry. Maybe it's been cold recently and my health has gotten worse."

"In that case, don't eat cold food," Jiang Baisheng's tone was full of concern, "Come here, bring Aunt Shu a cup of warm tea."

Jiang Fuyue lowered her eyes and paused on the blood stains on the handkerchief.

Although it had been a lifetime, Jiang Fuyue suddenly remembered many things the moment she saw this veil.

I remembered that before her mother passed away, she would often cough. At the beginning, she would vomit blood like this. When the condition became more serious, red spots would appear on the skin of her body when touched. The red spots were densely packed with purple dots, which was very scary. terror.

Jiang Fuyue's thoughts gradually drifted away.

Aunt Shu suddenly sighed softly, stretched out her hand to scratch her forearm, and complained: "Since it got cold today, I always feel dry and itchy. It's really uncomfortable."

As she moved, traces of light red gradually emerged, with some faint hints of purple in them.
