The news of Lu Fang's death and what he did quietly spread among the people of the Hou Mansion.

However, Mrs. Hou Ye was obviously a kind-hearted person, and she did not hold Steward Lu and his wife accountable, but still let them work as errands.

Those who originally had the intention of replacing Lu Steward on an errand had to rest their minds.

I thought that this matter would be revealed, but who knew that on the seventh day of Lu Fangtou, there was a woman with a big belly, kneeling in front of the side door of the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion, wiping her tears vigorously, and scolding more than once.

"You are a man who kills a thousand knives, and once you die, you leave us orphans and widows, how can you live!"

"Before I entered the door of your house, I became a widow, and I still have a small one in my belly, where can I cry out!"

"Oh my God! The slave's life is miserable! It's not easy to fall in love with a man, but he dies endlessly! enlarged the belly of the slave family, and abandoned the slave family like this! ”

The old man Zhang, who was guarding the door, saw that the woman was crying miserably and that the words she said were vulgar, so he knew that she was not a serious person, so he hurriedly beckoned a small servant and asked her to go to the inner courtyard to report the news, and he opened the corner of the side door and walked over with a hunched back.

"This lady, what do you mean by kneeling in front of the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion and crying like this? Is there anything in our house that we owe you a debt to? ”

Although Old Man Zhang is old, he has followed the old marquis to the battlefield, and it is difficult to hide the majesty in his tone when he talks like this.

The woman was a little open-minded.

Raised his head suddenly, glared at the old man Zhang, pulled the veil and said hatefully: "It's Lu Fang in this mansion, he enlarged the belly of the slave family, but he let go, the slave family has no long things, how can he feed the child in the belly!" ”

After saying that, the woman wiped her eyes with a handkerchief and cried.

It's like I've been greatly wronged.

The little guy who reported the news hadn't returned yet, and Old Man Zhang didn't dare to welcome people into the house without authorization.

Seeing that there were more and more onlookers, the woman knelt on the ground with a five- or six-month-old belly, and really looked a little pitiful, so he had to find a small pestle and invite someone to sit under the porch.

"You are here later, and the government has its own judgment on this matter."

The woman was also a bending and stretching person, and when she saw that the old man Zhang's attitude had softened, she sat there quietly, changing her previous pungency.

Seeing that there was no good show to watch, the onlookers raised their feet and left.

But there are still those who do not give up, scurrying their heads and brains in the distance.

Old man Zhang took the cane and pointed at the people, "In front of the Hou Mansion, don't you leave quickly!" If you collide with your master, don't blame the old crutches for being eyeless! ”

When those people saw that he was carrying a cane, hunched over, and walking like a fly, they knew that this old man was not an ordinary man, and he hurriedly shrank his head and ran away.

After waiting for about a cup of tea, only Lu Fangniang came out of it, looked the woman up and down a few times, and said hesitantly: "Are you really the woman Fang Zi raised outside?" ”

When the woman saw that a person dressed as a servant woman came to see her, she had already thought about it, and immediately bent her knees, knelt on the ground, and cried and said: "Mei'er asks my mother to say goodbye, my husband who killed a thousand knives, he is so ruthless, he left us orphans and widows like this!" ”

Lu Fangniang didn't dare to let her make a fuss in front of the mansion, so she hurriedly thanked Old Man Zhang, took the woman around, walked to an inconspicuous side door in the northwest corner of the Hou Mansion, knocked on the door, and brought the woman in.

"Mother, did you say that Lu Fangniang would keep that woman?" In the Rising Sun Hall, after Tong Xue came back from Mrs. Tai, she heard the news and hurriedly pulled Lu Shi to ask.

Lu sighed, "I'm afraid it will." ”

Lu Fang is the only son of Steward Lu and his wife, and the bloodline of the Lu family can be continued by the child in the woman's womb, no matter how unbearable the woman's origin is, I am afraid that Steward Lu and his wife will grit their teeth and leave this woman behind.

"Then will you allow her to live in this house?"

"As long as you don't jump in front of me, and look at the face of Steward Lu and his wife, turn a blind eye!" After all, it was a human life, and she still died in her yard, and Lu still felt a little sorry for Lu Fang in her heart.

In the evening, the news came that this woman was undoubtedly a woman raised by Lu Fang outside.

And his background is extremely unbearable, but he is a private prostitute.

I don't know how she and Lu Fang got acquainted, but Lu Fang raised her for more than half a year, and the neighbors can prove that in the past half a year, only Lu Fang has indeed been to her.

Lu Fangniang had already inquired about everything clearly, and detained the woman in the house, not allowing her to walk around half a step at will, and when Lu heard the news, it was not easy to say anything more.

When Mrs. Dingyuan heard the news, she frowned slightly.

Mama Song was busy persuading on the side: "Madame is pregnant, and it is inevitable that she will be soft-hearted. ”

Mrs. Tai sneered and glanced at Mama Song, "You have learned to speak for her." ”

Mama Song pursed the corners of her mouth and chuckled, "The old slave is not looking forward to Mrs. Tai and Mrs. gradually releasing their previous suspicions, and the house is harmonious." ”

Yesterday, Mama Song sent a string of Buddhist beads to the Rising Sun Hall for Mrs. Dingyuan Hou, and this morning, when Tong Xue asked Mrs. Tai to say goodbye, she held the pastries she made herself, which did not taste very good, and it was a piece of the child's heart, which showed that she was grateful.

Mrs. Dingyuan Marquis is more willing than anyone else to see that the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion can continue the appearance of the old marquis, prosperous, and have long descendants.

It's a pity that some people don't think so.

In the Qinxin Courtyard, Lu Er's Aunt Su Shi heard the news of the woman's door, and laughed a little gloating.

"My sister-in-law was diagnosed as pregnant, and she died, so it can be seen that this child's luck is not very good." She leaned on the couch, leisurely eating nuts, and said to her henchman.

"That is, how to compare Mrs. Di gave birth to three little sons in a row." The nurse had a smile on her face, looking at Su Shi flattering.

Su Shi spit out the kernel into a delicate small bowl, wiped his mouth with a handkerchief, took the tea handed by the girl, took a sip in his mouth, closed the tea lid, put it aside and said, "Go and call the girl with forsythia." ”

After Forsythia sat down with Second Master Su's roommate, the Su family treated her very favorably, and most of the time told her to rest in the room, and rarely asked her to serve in front of her.

When Forsythia heard Su's call, she was overjoyed, and hurriedly changed into a goose yellow embroidered apricot blossom spring shirt, combed a delicate ingot, and set off her not very outstanding face with three points like the delicate of early spring.

Su Shi's gaze swept to Forsythia casually, and he knew what this girl had in mind.

Spring is coming, and some thoughts are beginning to sprout.

There was a lazy smile on the corner of her mouth, still reclining on the couch, and said in a casual tone: "I heard that the personal big girl Pearl next to my sister-in-law is your good sister, she is only afraid that she is sad now, why don't I give you a day off, and you go back to enlighten her?" ”

It is true that forsythia and pearls grew up together, but the relationship is a little delicate.

A pearl looks handsome, and it has to be reused by the eldest lady, Forsythia thinks she is quite arrogant.

Second, since she was accepted by the second master, the little sisters in the past saw her, and they all cast envious eyes at her, and when they talked to her, they were also flattering, but the pearls were no different from the past, which made Forsythia a little annoyed.

She had heard about Lu Fang's matter, and was waiting to see the pearl joke, and after listening to Su's order, she immediately responded with a smile.

"The slave and the pearl have grown up together since childhood, and their affection is extraordinary, and they will comfort her!"

Su Shi nodded, and asked the girl to bring a hollow gold hairpin with plum blossoms that she usually wore in the box, get up in person, and insert it in her sideburns.

"You are a person in the second master's house, don't lose the face of the second master."

Su Shi glanced at her a few times, and said mildly, "Go ahead." ”

"Hey! The slave and maid are gone! Forsythia was so excited that her heart was about to fly, and she couldn't wait to show off her reward to Pearl.

Look at her on weekdays and put on a tall appearance, hum!
