Chapter 210: Undercurrent (2)
Speaking of the topic of these concubines and concubines, Chu Weilin suddenly remembered the Huang family.
Who doesn't have a few children, but as long as the main room sits steadily, it will not be too difficult for the children, the daughter-in-law of the family pays attention to reputation, for a child who can't hinder himself at all, and damages his reputation, this is a loss-making business.
Huang's style of acting is already a special case, she raises a concubine, and she is also good to Chu Weiying and Chu Weihu, otherwise, it will not make Chu Weihu mistakenly think that his mother really loves her, but the Huang family does not raise concubines, the two aunts are helpless, and the old lady Wen seems to be hidden in the dark.
"Look at the eldest uncle," Chu Weilin pursed her lips, "She also cares about the fourth sister." β
Baolian lowered her head and said suddenly: "Those two aunts are not favored." β
"What about being favored?" Chu Weilin smiled, "No matter how favored Qiong Nan is, if a person dies, he will die." β
The He family is also concerned about Chu Weilian, although he is not biological, but now he is not disadvantaged, anyway, Qiong Nan is dead, as long as Chu Weilian does not let others lead him to the wrong path, this friendship raised from childhood to adulthood, only one filial piety word can make Chu Weilian obedient.
Moreover, He has no sons.
"Grandma means that if the third lady has a son, she will not treat the ninth master badly?" Pauline asked.
Chu Weilin bowed: "Don't underestimate the third uncle, Qiong Nan is dead, so she won't add enemies to herself." β
Pauline pursed her lips, there was always a question swirling in her mind, but she couldn't ask.
Grandma is a smart person, as long as she asks, many things are red. Bare. Bare. of.
Chu Weilin looked at Baolian quietly, and she could see what Baolian was struggling with in her heart. But she is not willing to force Baolian to persecute her, although it is the name of master and servant, but after all, it is more than ten years of friendship, that is, Baolian has a secret, and it is by no means a secret that will harm her.
Neither of them spoke for a while, the Western bell rang, Chu Weilin glanced at the hour, and ordered, "It's time for lunch." β
Pauline stood still, her long eyelashes quivering, her hands folded in front of her. Extra cautious.
Chu Weilin urged her again.
Pauline looked up suddenly. His eyes seemed to turn a little red, and then he quickly lowered his head.
Chu Weilin was stunned, she suddenly remembered what Chang Yuyun had said, in the tower of Fayu Temple. Pauline was crying when she talked to the old woman. If that old woman is a good woman. What would she say to Pauline?
After thinking deeply, Chu Weilin even thought of herself as a good man, a matter in the Chu Mansion. Especially the matter of the third room, Shanwan should have heard a lot from Mother Qian, Shanwan will know the six girls who look seven or eight points similar to Gui Manniang, and will also know the maids around this girl.
If she was Shanwan, what would she say to Pauline at that moment? What did she say that would make Pauline cry sadly?
Chu Weilin looked straight at Bao Lian, and from her angle, she could just see the black mole on Bao Lian's lips, she frowned tightly, and then, almost instantly, a thought crossed her mind, startling her back.
Baolian is an orphan, if Shanwan is talking about Baolian's life experience......
Coupled with what she said just now, Baolian seems to care very much about the affairs of her children.
Chu Weilin gasped, grabbed Baolian's hand, and said, "Do you want to ask, if Aunt Gui had a daughter when she died, would the child survive?" β
Baolian's eyes widened suddenly, and she looked at Chu Weilin in disbelief, she bit her lower lip tightly, and her tears did not hold back her tears.
Seeing her react like this, Chu Weilin also understood, she sighed, shook her head and said, "You shouldn't believe her, you shouldn't believe in Shanwan." Aunt Gui has never given birth, there is no doubt about it. β
"But ......" Baolian said two words, and suddenly paused again, but today's words have been said here, what else can be swallowed, she sniffed, and said, "Didn't Mother Xue say that to the old lady at that time?" "If I didn't know the origin of Mrs. Six, I was afraid that I would think it was her daughter", doesn't this mean that Aunt Gui has a daughter? β
Chu Weilin was stunned, she also remembered this sentence, that was what Mother Xue and Mrs. Zhang had said when they confessed the old things openly, at that time there were only three people in the house, Mrs. Zhang, Mother Xue and her, and Mother Yu was guarding outside, how could Baolian know?
It seems that I saw a figure by the window at that time, but it disappeared when I looked for it again, could it be ......
"You were eavesdropping outside the house? Is that person I see you? Chu Weilin asked.
Pauline nodded slowly.
"If there is really a daughter, it will die young, and there will be a ranking, and there will be a family tree, with the great-grandmother and grandfather's love for Aunt Gui, even if the child is gone, her name will not be erased. Besides, at that time, my grandmother was bent on clearing her name, so how could she touch Aunt Gui's child? From beginning to end, Aunt Gui never gave birth to a daughter. Chu Weilin said.
Baolian was stunned, tears fell down her face, she didn't wipe it, but thought carefully about Chu Weilin's words.
Chu Weilin didn't bother Baolian, and Baolian needed some time to figure it out.
After a stick of incense, although Baolian did not continue to cry, but the whole person was very depressed, she slowly knelt down, and said in a low voice: "At that time in Tallinn, the slave maid originally didn't believe her, but the old woman knew very well about the things in the house, she said, Xia Yue was forced to bear the guilt back then, and Mother Xue's conscience was uneasy, and she was afraid that Aunt Gui's daughter would not survive, so she tried to send her out of the house." It wasn't until Mother Qian entered the mansion that she knew that there was such a daughter, and Mother Qian tried every means to find that daughter in order to embarrass the old lady and embarrass the Chu Mansion. It's just that after so many years, by the time it was finally found, the daughter had fallen on the side of the road, and the child in her arms was also carried away by a passing woman. She said that it was a snowy day, and it was in the first month of the seventh year of Jingde, and the slave and the slave were picked up by the mother at that time. The slave didn't want to believe her, but ......"
"In order to find out if there was once an Aunt Gui by my grandfather's side, you led me to try Mother Xue?" Chu Weilin suppressed the feelings in her heart and asked.
"Yes......" Pauline's voice was hoarse, and her whole body trembled a little. It happened to have such an opportunity, grandma was on the way to find the third aunt and grandmother, and it happened that Caiyu and Xiang mother around ** milk mentioned 'Manniang', grandma asked the slave to follow, and Xiang Mom actually didn't know anything, but the slave and maid were confused and didn't want to miss the opportunity. β
Chu Weilin let out a long sigh, and those old things were all connected. The answer is as simple as that.
She knew about the storage of the full mother. forced out Mother Xue's true words, and those words were all overheard by Baolian in the back window, but because of Mother Xue's unclear words, Baolian, who was still suspicious of Shanjuan, suddenly believed it.
Pauline has been with her for so long. Chu Weilin knew Baolian's character. Clever and intelligent. Pauline still has some vanity, which is not a big problem, but once Pauline has that kind of cognition. Her mentality will be a little unbalanced.
If those are true, then Baolian should not be just a maid, she is a cousin girl in Chu Mansion, even if her mother is a concubine, but with Chu Zhengfu's love for Aunt Gui, this concubine's life can walk out of a Yangguan Road and marry an ordinary official eunuch as a wife, then she is still married.
Under the influence of such a mentality, it is reasonable that Pauline would choose to leave the house.
"Then why did you come back anyway?" Chu Weilin asked her, she always felt that after returning home, Baolian was more cautious and prudent, and she didn't look impetuous.
Baolian pouted and forced her tears back: "During the days when the slave maid was at home, my mother kept talking about my grandmother's childhood, and the slave's life was saved by my mother, and I didn't want her to be disappointed." At that time, my grandmother was about to leave the cabinet, and my mother was always relieved, so she ...... The slave maid also wanted to see her grandmother every day, and they all said that grandma and Aunt Gui were very similar, and the slave and maid thought, looking at grandma, can you also see the slave's grandmother and the slave's mother......"
Chu Weilin's throat was astringent, her chest was stuffy, and there were tears in her eyes.
Her mind was full of the Jiang family.
She will miss the Jiang family like this, and even often reminisce with Baolian about the days when the Jiang family was there, so Baolian will also think about it, thinking about her biological mother.
Baolian mistakenly thought that she was the granddaughter of Manniang, when she looked at the girls in Chu Mansion, her heart was more envious and lost, she thought that she could have such a life of fine clothes and food, instead of being a maid, but at the same time, her feelings for Chu Weilin will become more and more complicated, in Chu Weilin, who grew up together, she even pinned her thoughts on her mother and Aunt Gui, she has never seen them, but she can see them from Chu Weilin's face.
Under the pressure of those feelings, Baolian was extremely unhappy in those days in Chu Mansion, and it was not until she came to Chang Mansion with Chu Weilin that she adjusted a little bit.
Pauline raised the back of her hand to wipe the tears that had fallen, but the tears fell more and more, and she couldn't wipe them at all, and she almost hid her face and cried.
Chu Weilin wanted to cry and called Baolian a move, but she couldn't help crying.
She really understood a lot of things, she thought.
In her previous life, Baolian must have been misled, Baolian envied her while hating the Chu family, and tried her best to protect her.
In her previous life, Baolian never said anything good about Chang Yuyun, when Chu Weilin was in pain, Baolian always advised her to forget about Chang Yuyun and not lose her mind, just because Baolian saw another Chu Zhengfu in Chang Yuyun, and what if she was in love in her heart, Chu Zhengfu couldn't protect Manniang, and Chang Yuyun couldn't protect Chu Weilin.
In her previous life, Baolian frantically inquired and excavated the darkness in Chang's mansion, helping Chu Weilin to make the Chang family perish step by step, just because Baolian didn't want to see her suffer, Manniang died too early, and Baolian was the hand of Chu Weilin who staged a revenge in her mind.
In her previous life, Chu Weilin died in the dungeon, but she didn't know where Baolian went, and now that she thinks about it, Baolian may choose to commit suicide.
After taking a few deep breaths, Chu Weilin tried to stabilize her mind and asked the last question: "The black mole on my chest, why would the Liguo Mansion think it was the fifth sister?" β
Baolian raised her head as if she had been struck by lightning, looked at Chu Weilin with a pair of teary eyes, and muttered, "It's Mother Qian." β
"You sued her?" Chu Weilin asked again.
Pauline clenched her fists tightly and whimpered, "It's the slave who lost her words." β
Except for Zhou's mother's money, this is the only thing that Baolian has ever done that she regrets.
I met Mother Qian that day, and there was no one around, Mother Qian asked her: "Mother Xue is dead, you should believe what we say, right?" β
As soon as Baolian heard these things, she felt a little bored in her heart, and she could only remain silent.
Mother Qian said again: "You can tell me about the sixth girl." You don't want me to tell Miss SΓΉ Six about your identity, do you? β
If she puts it bluntly, how will she face the girl!
In a panic, Baolian remembered the situation in the Fayu Temple that day, her head was blank, and she recited "black mole" in a low voice.
Mother Qian smiled and pointed to her hand: "There is a black mole on the left chest?" β
Pauline jumped up suddenly, only to find that her right hand was instinctively placed on her left chest, and she shook her head vigorously: "It's nothing." β
Mother Qian already knew it in her heart, and when she saw someone coming in the distance, she left first.
Pauline froze in place, unable to move for a long time.
She didn't dare to mention this matter to anyone, and there was no demon moth from Qian's mother afterwards, she thought that a qiΔ had passed, how could she know that there would be such a thing as the Liguo Mansion later.
At that time, Baolian had already left the house, and outside, she only heard that Chu Weichen went out of the house without permission, gave and received it privately, and Chu Weichen had a certificate of innocence, until she returned home, she knew that Chu Weichen's hair was twisted because of a "black mole", Baolian was flustered, but she didn't dare to tell Chu Weilin about these things, let alone confess to Mother Qian.
She buried it in her heart, the matter of the Liguo Mansion has passed, she doesn't need to turn over all the old things, as if her life experience has also been buried, and there is no need to mention it again.
Baolian hid it for a long time, and it was not until this moment that she revealed it all.
After crying for a long time, her breath was a little panting, and Baolian said intermittently: "Slave maid, slave maid can't say clearly, why would you believe Shanwan's words, obviously she is an old woman who has never seen her, just because of her few words, the slave maid is confused, now I think about it, the slave is really stupid, why believe her, why believe her!" Why don't you ask grandma! The slave is supported by Qin's mother, why should you trust others! β
Baolian fell to the ground and cried bitterly, this was the resentment in her heart, she hated Qian's mother, hated Shanwan, and hated herself even more.
It was she who ruined the sisterhood that was deeper than the master and servant, and it was she who was wrong.
Chu Weilin raised her head and looked out the window, but she couldn't stop the tears from falling, and after explaining many things thoroughly, she couldn't go back.
Bao Hibiscus came in with a food box, and when she saw the situation in the house, she was stunned and at a loss.
Chu Weilin smiled at her, wiped her tears, and said, "Set the table, let the flowing jade bring water in." β
Bao Hibiscus nodded dumbfoundedly.
Pauline cleaned her face and withdrew, her eyes red and swollen, and she couldn't hide it at all.
When Deng Ping's family saw it, he came up and asked, "What's wrong with the girl?" Got your grandma? (To be continued......)
