Xiaoqiu still didn't change his noisy temperament, and when he saw everyone walking away, he hurriedly asked, "Madam, how does the young master treat you?" Don't you know, in the past two days you have been out, those ladies have come several times, hum, but they are jealous to death!"

"People have said that they have forgotten the pain of the scar, and you are not well yet, so they talked about his good again. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info" Natsu said dissatisfied.

Ninety-three Jiangfu secrets

"Have they embarrassed you?"

"No, madam, the old lady likes you, she herself came here and sat here for a long time, and told us to go to her if anything happened, and those ladies were not happy and did not dare to do anything. It's just that the face of the third lady is ugly to death, hehe......" Xiaoqiu said and laughed proudly.

Xiao Xia was speechless, and I looked at her funny, I hope this child can be simple forever.

"How's the wound?" I asked her.

"It's all right, ma'am!" Xiao Qiu frowned and said coquettishly, "Did you hear me?

I turned my head and asked Xiao Xia, "Did the old lady say anything else?"

"The old lady said let's serve the good young master and you, say ......" hesitated for a moment and continued, "If you serve well, you can hold the little young master at this time next year, is it true, madam?"

"......" I was ashamed for a while, I couldn't imagine that these two little girls were more than a ghost elf.

"Isn't it, ma'am, is there one?" said Xiaoqiu, leaning over to look at my stomach.

I was even more embarrassed, and said angrily, "How old are you, how can you talk shamelessly!"

Xiaoqiu stuck out her tongue and didn't dare to speak.

"Madame...... Is the young master really kind to you?" Xiao Xia asked me suddenly, there was a faint worry in her voice, although she tried her best to hide it, she could still hear it.

Slightly surprised, I turned my head to look at her, "What's wrong?"

“…… What did the third lady say, the young master already has a sweetheart, and he won't like anyone anymore...... Say what...... Madame is only a ...... The face ......, "Xiao Xia seems to be unable to say anything anymore when she says this."

Xiao Qiu said hurriedly, "She obviously doesn't want the young master and wife to talk nonsense! Madam, don't pay attention to her!"

"No! I seem to have heard of it when I first arrived!" Xiao Xia distinguished.

"What do you hear?"

Natsu seemed to realize that she had said something wrong, and squeaked and refused to say it.

"Xiao Xia, tell me quickly, what did you hear?" Xiao Qiu also wondered.

"I ......"

"Say it quickly, Xiao Xia, don't you want to be a lady?"

"Forget it. I saw that she was almost forced to cry and stopped, "It's okay. ”

"Madam...... Xiao Xia bit her lip and grabbed me, "Madam, when I first came to Jiangfu four years ago, I heard that the young master had been wandering in Suzhou for a long time because he was looking for a girl, delaying his studies in the capital. ”

Xiaoqiu relaxed when she heard this, "Oh, when did that happen, the young master is probably joking." ”

"How come?" Xiao Xia hurriedly explained, "You don't know how serious the young master is, he not only went to find it himself, but also secretly sent people from the mansion to find it, because this delayed his studies for several months!"

"Didn't you care, master?"

"Anyway, if the young master may continue to look for it! It's terrifying, the old man is good at martial arts, he beat the young master severely, he wouldn't move, and threw him in the firewood room and locked up for three days, no one was allowed to bring water and food, and the doctor was not allowed to treat him, and the young master was only fourteen years old at that time. The old lady thought that the young master was dead, and almost hanged herself!"

"It's too cruel, how can the master bear it?" Xiaoqiu asked.

"The master said that if the young master is like this for a woman, it will definitely be difficult to achieve great things in the future, so it is better to have this son. ”

"And then?"

Then the young master not only did not die, but the housekeeper struggled to get out by himself when he opened the door. But the young master didn't speak or smile since then. ”

"Didn't you look for that girl again?" Xiao Qiu hurriedly arrived.

"It is said that it was because the lord told him that if he found the girl, not only would he not let him take it home, but he would also kill her. ”

Xiaoqiu obviously shuddered, "You lied, why haven't I heard of such a big thing?"

"Of course you don't know!" Xiao Xia glared at her, and continued, "Back then, for this matter, the lord dismissed dozens of servants in the mansion who knew about it, and I was only then bought. ”

"And how do you know?"

"I was helping in the kitchen, and when I got up at night to go to the bathroom, I heard two grandmothers talking, and the next day the two grandmothers died. ”

"Ah......" Xiaoqiu whispered, "Why did the master do this?"

"You are stupid, the young master said that she would not marry her, and the word spreads, who would dare to be his wife? And it is not good for the young master. ”

"What does that girl look like, isn't she beautiful?" asked Xiaoqiu.

"How do I know, it is said that only the young master has seen it. Xiao Xia glanced at me, "But it's definitely not as beautiful as our lady." ”

"Then how does the third lady know?" Xiao Qiu was the first to react.

"This ......," Natsu asked.

"She probably said it casually," I interrupted, "and don't think about it anymore. ”

"Madam, but ......" Xiao Xia wanted to say something, I didn't hesitate to stop her, and said seriously, "Okay, no one is allowed to say anything about this matter, you know?"

“…… Be. The two little girls glanced at each other and immediately agreed.

In the bathhouse.

drove the two little girls out, sat in the steaming mist, looked around, but was at a loss, and seemed to have lost something in his heart.

Leaning on the edge of the bath in despair, tears gradually came out under the cover of steam.

There's no way to fool yourself anymore.

The question that I have been deliberately not thinking about for the past two days is now lying naked in front of my eyes.

I'm just a stand-in.

All the tenderness I received was only because I had such a face.

This cruel conjecture undoubtedly became a reality in the words of the Fourth Lady and Xiao Xia. And what the old butler once said to me on his birthday at Sunset Lake...... The front and back are connected together, so clearly and clearly.

Can I still lie to myself?

Those promises, those words, all end up being jokes.

What, Zheng Hanyu, what are you expecting, what are you running away from?

Do you still think that people will bring you back to eat and drink for nothing, and then turn hatred into love for you for no reason under your malicious intent?

Hehe, that's funny.

Why do you think he is so nice to you, why does he suddenly say those things to you, why is he jealous for no reason?

It's just because you have the same face as the first love he can't love.

I sarcastically touched my tear-stained cheeks, smooth, young, and elastic, but unfortunately it all existed for the resemblance to another person.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ dividing line ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

How many people are willing to be substitutes? At least I don't.

Without love, I am sad, but I have nothing to complain about, and being used as a stand-in is an insult to my personality and a violation of my self-esteem.

Dignity should be above all else, so I don't want to be a substitute, and I won't give others the opportunity to use me as a substitute.

But when all this has happened unconsciously, do we have the courage to admit this fact?
