Chapter 46: Reason
After Shang Wanyan went out, Mrs. Shang first instructed Mama Yue to set the meal, and then asked Gui Ni: "You have been with Hou Ye for more than two months, has Hou Ye ever been close to you?" ”
A trace of embarrassment flashed on Gui Ni's face, and she was silent for a moment before she said, "Back to the old lady's words, no." ”
For this answer, Mrs. Shang was a little unconvinced: "Not once? ”
Guini lowered her head, and her voice was as soft as a mustard mosquito: "Not once." ”
She herself wanted to go to the eldest lady's side. Now that the eldest lady is willing to call the shots for her, she has this glimmer of life, and only then can she have the possibility of flying on the branches and becoming a phoenix.
So Gui Ni pondered for a while, and raised her head suddenly: "It's Xuanshao, I heard that the Hou Ye has promised her that when the new lady passes the door, she will be promoted as an aunt." ”
A trace of joy flashed on Mrs. Shang's face, she turned her head to look at Mama Yue, then turned around and asked Gui Ni: "Yuan Niang was going to ask me for you just now, but what you said, but the truth?" ”
Guini naturally won't deny it. Old Madam Shang snorted, glanced at the maids and ladies who came in with the meal, and said noncommittally: "I know about this, you go back first, talk to Xuanshao, and come to see me when you are free." ”
Gui Ni hurriedly agreed, and then kowtowed and retired.
When she got out of the Evergreen Courtyard, she really wanted to go to the Spring Courtyard like this, a trace of entanglement flashed on her face, and finally she limped and returned to Wucheng Courtyard.
Mrs. Shang didn't like to have too many people around her when she was eating, and after the lunch was set, everyone else retreated first, leaving only a grandmother Yue by her side.
Mama Yue swallowed her saliva as she looked at the table full of meals, and while carefully serving the hot pigeon soup to Mrs. Shang, she said to Mrs. Shang: "Since Xuanxiao has gained a firm foothold in Wuchengyuan, it is not much necessary for Gui Ni to continue to stay in Wuchengyuan." What is the old lady going to do? ”
Mrs. Shang first ate a shrimp, her lips and teeth were fragrant, and she squinted her eyes slightly, and then said: "Gui Ni is a little more beautiful than Xuan Shao, but I didn't expect to attract Hou Ye to like it, but to attract the little girl's like." Since she came to me to ask for it, Aunt Gu could follow her when she was in Pengzhou, and now that she is in Jindu, how can I, as a grandmother, let an aunt compare! ”
"The old lady is going to give Xuanxiao to the eldest lady?" Although she had expected this, Mama Yue still made a look of surprise on her face.
"Hmm." Mrs. Shang took a sip of the soup, took a sip of the hot soup, and her limbs became comfortable, so she refused to speak, and ate wholeheartedly.
Jin Shu didn't understand Shang Wanyan's actions today, and later saw Shang Wanyan come out alone, leaving Gui Ni, so he guessed in his heart that Old Madam Shang did not agree to give Gui Ni to Shang Wanyan. I was suspicious, worried, and anxious.
When he returned to Shuchun Courtyard and entered the boudoir, Jin Shu held back his words all the way, and then asked: "How did Miss know that the maid was Gui Ni and she was pregnant again?" ”
Why did Shang Wanyan know that the woman was Gui Ni? And how do you know she's pregnant?
In the last life, the day after the new lady Zhong Xueying passed the door, she gave tea to the old man and the old lady Shang, and after worshipping the ancestors of the ancestral hall, Zhong Xueying called all the people of Wuchengyuan together for questioning, and wanted to take the affairs of Wuchengyuan into his own hands first.
Who knew that after a few words, a beautiful maid fainted when she said that she fainted. In order to show her generous side, Zhong Xueying specially invited a doctor to diagnose the pulse of the beautiful maid named Gui Ni. Who knew that this diagnosis had a happy pulse.
Gui Ni is the maid of Wucheng Academy, Zhong Xueying just passed the door, and found out that she was pregnant, and she was slapping her in the face! Zhong Xueying is a clay man, and she can't bear it. With Gui Ni in tow, he went to the Evergreen Courtyard and asked Mrs. Shang for an explanation.
Because Zhong Xueying was angry, she just wanted to make a big deal about it, so that everyone could know what kind of person Shang Zhizhang was. Who knew that after checking and checking, the seed in Gui Ni's stomach was not Shang Zhizhang's, but Shang Xizhou's. At this time, it is too late to hide it. Even though Gui Ni was given a bowl of abortion pills and sent to the Zhuangzi of the Wuwei Hou Mansion, Shang Xizhou's reputation in Jindu had been ruined.
After that, Shang Xizhou was decadent for a long time, and his temperament became taciturn, even when he said goodbye later, he was also deeply affected by this incident.
When this incident happened in the previous life, Shang Wanyan was grounded, and these were all heard from a few people with broken mouths later. When the woman knelt in front of Shang Wanyan and begged her to be the master, she saw that she was good-looking, so she guessed casually, but she didn't expect this woman to be really Gui Ni!
If Shang Xizhou is also saddled with the reputation of being a maid in the elder's room in this life, what confidence does he have to make a contribution? Shang Wanyan swore a ruthless oath in her heart, she couldn't let this happen again no matter what.
Naturally, these can't be said with Jinshu, Shang Wanyan casually made up: "When we arrived at the Hou Mansion yesterday, she got together with a few maids to peek at us, and I found out, and I heard another maid call her Guini. Seeing that her complexion was not very good, and she was protecting her lower abdomen everywhere during her actions, she guessed that she was pregnant. ”
"I didn't expect it to be true!" Shang Wanyan sneered.
Jin Shu did not doubt Shang Wanyan's explanation, and his brows furrowed: "She is not married yet, who will the child in her belly be?" Then she remembered that Gui Ni was a maid of Wuchengyuan, and her eyes widened.
Gui Ni is the maid of Wuchengyuan, could it be that she is pregnant with Hou Ye's child? Although Miss is the eldest lady of the Hou Mansion, she can't control the Hou Ye's room, why did Gui Ni come to ask Miss to call the shots?
Thinking about it like this, Jinshu was a little anxious: "Miss shouldn't have promised her!" This kind of thing, we can't hide it, why don't Miss bother to take the matter on herself in a few words! ”
Shang Wanyan pursed her lips and said lightly: "Don't worry, I'm measured." ”
When she said this, the expression on her face was gentle and firm, like a fresh breeze, and Jinshu's excited feelings were miraculously smoothed out at once, leaving only a ripple.
Shang Wanyan repeated, as if comforting her: "I am measured." ”
So there wasn't even a ripple left.
At this time, Shu Yin and Shu Yu carried the food box, pushed open the door and walked in with a smile, and when they saw Shang Wanyan, they stopped talking and said to Shang Wanyan: "Miss, lunch is coming." ”
There is no small kitchen in the courtyard, so you have to go to the big kitchen for breakfast and lunch.
Shu Yu said: "...... It's a fried sweet potato, a shredded cabbage and pork, a duck dried bamboo shoots, and a Sixi meatball soup. It's a bit far from here, and I'm afraid that the food is a little cold, so it's better to make a stove and simmer next to the stove to eat. ”
Shang Wanyan didn't have a good impression of Shuyin and Shuyu, so she responded with a straight face.
