Chapter 238: Autumn Peach
Chapter 237
The old lady's words were as clear as if they were yesterday.
Zhao can't forget the words she said to her when the old lady called her to Fuhua Courtyard.
"The wood has been completed, you don't want to do this, this is not the first time that our Shen Mansion has happened, the fourth daughter-in-law let the concubine room enter the door. Of course, there is no need to make a big deal about taking a concubine, just put her into a flat room. “
I don't know why, the Zhao family heard that a woman came to the door, she was not as uncomfortable as before, probably because Wang Chan's matter had exhausted her.
She has nothing to argue with Shen Pingcheng.
So this time, Shen Ping thought about going back to Jinlin Courtyard to explain the matter to the Zhao family, but he didn't expect that the Zhao family didn't mention it at all, and he didn't even give him a cold face.
But the more Zhao ignored him, and told the maid to give him a hot meal as always, the more uneasy he became.
The county lord of Anning took the initiative to live in the house under Shen Rongkong, and Ruyi waited carefully, standing a few meters away from the county lord of Anning, and asked in a low voice: "County lord, three girls...... Is she good in the palace? ”
"Ah Rong is fine, you are a loyal girl, and you have bothered this time." The county lord of An Ning glanced at Ruyi happily.
Ruyi was so frightened by Lord Anning's praise that he hurriedly knelt on the ground, supporting the cold ground with both hands: "The slave is fine, the slave is fine." ”
"Hah...... Get up. The county lord of Anning laughed, "I can't control the affairs of your Shen Mansion, it's just that Ah Rong doesn't worry about Aunt Shen, ask me to come over and take a look, you can talk to me." How is Aunt Shen spending her days these days, isn't there still a woman? ”
Hearing what the county lord of Anning said, Ruyi still had scruples in his heart. Just looking at the frosty face of Lord An Ning, she couldn't walk on her legs.
She swallowed her saliva, "Back to the county lord's words, ma'am...... When the slave saw the food that had been brought in these days, she didn't move a few bites, so she withdrew again. Although the lady didn't say anything, the slave always saw Mama Fang coming out of the house with red eyes. Madam...... I'm afraid that I wash my face with tears every day. The girl lived in the house...... The ...... of the name has not yet been confirmed"
That girl was easier to come in than that Aunt Qianqian.
Ruyi replied tremblingly, and secretly glanced at the mulberry branch who came back with the county lord of Anning. When the mulberry branch comes back, isn't Dongmei alone next to the girl?
She was now eager to pull the mulberry branch and talk, and ask the girl about the situation carefully.
She wanted to follow the county lord of An Ning into Beijing to serve the girl in a few days, but she understood that the girl had her own intentions in letting her stay in the Shen Mansion.
"Mulberry branches. You go to Aunt Shen first. The county lord of Anning pondered for a moment. first instructed Sang Zhi, knowing in her heart that Shen Rong had explained how Sang Zhi persuaded the Zhao family, and she went to persuade the Zhao family, and her identity was also a little inappropriate.
"The slave understands." Sang Zhi nodded and withdrew first.
The county lord of Anning thought about it, and he was not idle, so he asked Ruyi to take her to meet the girl who entered the mansion.
Ruyi hurriedly walked ahead to show the way for the county lord of Anning, although the girl had no name, she was the same as that Qianqian. The courtyard of the Shen Mansion is large, and there is no shortage of several yards. Although the place is remote, it is also a comfortable single courtyard.
Ruyi led the way in front and said, "County Lord, that girl's name is Qiu Tao, and she is already two months pregnant. ”
The county lord of Anning walked quietly behind and listened to Ruyi's words, but he didn't know how to help Shen Rong deal with this matter.
She put herself in her shoes, thinking about what she would do if it was Shen Rong, she paused, and stopped in a remote courtyard with Ruyi.
It's funny to say, this yard is similar to Qianqian's yard, and the two live here as companions.
The county lord of Anning stood at the entrance of the courtyard and looked at a few places first, and the girl in the courtyard knew that there was a noble man in the house, and the one in front of him looked at the gorgeously dressed and had an extraordinary temperament, and he didn't know him, it must be the county lord of Anning.
The maids and women working in the yard hurriedly put down the work in their hands, knelt on the ground together, and lowered their heads.
The county lord of An Ning entered the courtyard, and the tails of his eyes were slightly raised, which added a bit of indescribability to her cold and frosty face.
But after a while, a young woman came out of the curtain, and the maidservants in the courtyard were all kneeling, and she was busy with her body: "The people have seen the lord of Anning. “
"You're Qiu Tao?" The voice of the county lord of An Ning was extremely cold, she chuckled lightly, and raised her eyebrows proudly: "Raise your head and let me see what it looks like." ”
In just two sentences, Qiu Tao felt a little pestle in her heart.
She hesitated and reluctantly raised her face, and the county lord of An Ning could see Qiu Tao's appearance clearly.
Not amazed, staring at her, Lord An Ning frowned, this autumn peach is not outstanding, nor is it as charming as the general concubine, but her face is very plain and simple, at first glance, she looks like an honest peasant woman.
If she is a fox and charming lord, she still has a little to deal with, but she has a simple and honest appearance, especially when she raises her chin slightly, the eyes that are afraid of being careful.
The county lord of An Ning was stunned for a few seconds before he came back to his senses and cleared his throat: "Since you are pregnant, get up." ”
The county lord of An Ning entered the room and looked at Qiu Tao, who was trembling below: "Tell me, how did you and Lord Shen meet, I am not an old fool like Old Madam Shen." ‘
Before she left, Shen Rong told her that she was a little suspicious of this girl who suddenly came to the door, and felt that it was a conspiracy, so she stared at that Qiu Tao more.
The county lord of Anning came to see this autumn peach on the first day of his arrival in the Shen Mansion.
Qiu Tao's heart shrank, she was speechless for a while, she raised her eyes in fear and turned around on the county lord of Anning, and hurriedly lowered it, without saying a word for a long time.
"Why don't you say it?" The county lord of An Ning asked coldly.
"I ......" Qiu Tao hesitated, pausing: "I... With Shen ...... Adult was ...... two months ago Met in Mingyue Building......"
"Mingyue Lou ......," the county lord of Anning looked at Ruyi.
"County Lord, Mingyue Tower is a green building in Yong'an City." Ruyi said and looked at Qiu Tao's gaze with a little disdain, it turned out to be a Qinglou woman, how could the Shen Mansion accommodate the next Qinglou woman!
The county lord of Anning's complexion also changed slightly, and he glanced at Qiu Tao with low eyes, with a slight sneer: "Qinglou? ”
"The county lord is clear, I ...... I'm not a Qinglou woman! Qiu Tao hurriedly knelt on the ground and said.
It is difficult for a woman in a green house to enter the eunuch's house.
The county lord of Anning thought for a few seconds, if this Qiu Tao was really from Qinglou, without her coming forward, Old Madam Shen would definitely not agree.
The county lord of An Ning was just a little strange about Shen Pingcheng's attitude.
She laughed a few times embarrassedly: "Qiu Tao, you are two months pregnant, and you and Lord Shen met in the Qinglou two months ago, what do you say." ”
"County Lord, I am a girl from a white family, our family has always provided firewood to Mingyue Building, I went to Mingyue Building to deliver firewood that day, and I just met Lord Shen......" Qiu Tao hurriedly spoke, for fear that others would misunderstand that she was a woman from Qinglou.
Her reaction when she spoke was very real, it didn't look like she was telling a lie, otherwise Old Madam Shen wouldn't have let Qiu Tao enter the mansion.
This matter, in terms of her identity, is really difficult to do, after all, she can't interfere in the family affairs of the Shen Mansion, Shen Rong feels that there is something wrong with this person, she can only look for this problem.
The county lord of Anning carefully interrogated Qiu Tao about some words, and Qiu Tao answered them one by one, and she was still a little trembling at first, but she became more and more stable in the back.
The county lord of Anning asked a few words and couldn't find a clue, so he had to go back with Ruyi first. (To be continued......)
