Chapter 263: Care
Until there was no movement in the courtyard, Li Suyan, who was huddled in the room, still couldn't help but hold the maid with an injured arm and tremble.
He ...... He was really going to rush in and kill me, wasn't he? β
Li Suyan asked tremblingly.
The maid was also pale and her lips trembled, and she said after a while: "Miss...... Miss rest assured, there are slaves and maids, and they will not ...... I won't let Miss have anything to do! β
Li Suyan whimpered and cried, and the fear and grievances in her heart poured out like a torrent.
"How can this be...... How could this be......"
She just wants to find a better way out for her child, but she just wants to find a way out for her child! Why is it the way it is?
The old lady and the young lady don't take her seriously, and the prince of Dingnan Hou can't get rid of her quickly, so that even if her child is born in the future, she will definitely be excluded.
How could it be...... How could it be......
I thought that entering this Dingnanhou Mansion would be rich and splendid, but who knew that it was the Longtan Tiger's Den......
My aunt lied to her! My aunt lied to her!
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
Shen Nanzhu, who returned to Zhuxi Garden, no longer had his previous momentum, and his whole person was wilted, and he was depressed.
For as long as he can remember, the words impulsive and naΓ―ve have nothing to do with him.
He was cautious and steady, and he did not make a single mistake. And he has the confidence that even if he really accidentally takes a few wrong steps, he has the ability to redeem it.
But today, he was drunk and ignorant at first. and impulsive, no matter what, it looks so childish and ridiculous.
The self-confidence of the past has also turned into the powerlessness of the present, and when he really made a mistake, he realized that not everything can be reversed.
Mother Zhao in the courtyard didn't stop him again, and Sang Zi wanted to step forward, but was stopped by Mother Zhao.
And so he entered the room unhindered, as he had done so many times before.
This is his yard and his home, he should have come and gone freely, but now he is standing silently at the door. It took a while to walk in with difficulty.
It was still dark in the inner room. The figure at the bedside was still sitting quietly as before, as if he had fallen asleep.
But he knew she wasn't sleeping, he knew she couldn't sleep at all.
"Bao'er ......"
Shen Nanzhu squatted in front of her again, and grabbed her hand and put it to her lips without her refusal.
"Boa, I was wrong. I shouldn't have drunk so much at a feast. You shouldn't have come back to the house knowing that you were going to get drunk. Bao'er, if you are angry, it's okay to hit me and scold me. It is...... Just don't talk like that, okay? β
"Bao'er, please, Bao'er, it's okay if you cry or make trouble. Just don't say nothing......"
His voice was choking, and his shoulders were shaking faintly.
A tear slipped from Mengbao's eyes, and she lowered her head and pulled out her hand and put it on her lap.
"I don't say anything, it's just that you don't listen. Shen Nanzhu, I ......"
"Don't call me Shen Nanzhu!"
He finally calmed down and lost control of his emotions again: "Bao'er, you don't call me that on weekdays, you usually call me Azhu, Bao'er, don't call me that......"
Shen Nanzhu lay on her knees, and her shoulders shook even more.
Mengbao looked at the top of his head, was silent for a long time, and then slowly spoke: "You also said, that's usual." This is no longer the case. β
Shen Nanzhu, who was buried in his head, straightened up suddenly, his hands clasped tightly on her knees, he wanted to ask her what she meant, but he was afraid that he would get the answer he didn't want to hear after really asking.
Mengbao avoided his gaze and looked at the darkness in the room: "If something like this happens, it is no longer up to you and me to accept Miss Li as a concubine." Whatever the reason, it's a fact that her fame has been implicated in you. Even if you don't want me to agree, it is impossible for other people in the mansion to continue to let Miss Li live here without a name or a point. β
"And I told you before that I would never accept the life of three wives and four concubines. So, Shen Nanzhu, let's leave. β
Let's leave......
Shen Nanzhu stood up from the ground suddenly: "Don't you think about it!" β
As he spoke, he hugged Mengbao tightly and held her in his arms hard, not allowing her to struggle and refuse.
"Bao'er, you are mine, you were sent to me by God, I don't allow you to leave! Absolutely not! β
The man in his arms trembled, and the hand against his chest gradually tightened.
"Shen Nanzhu ......"
Mengbao couldn't hold back crying anymore, choked and trembled: "I've thought about it, I've thought about whether I should try to change my mind, try to accept the way husband and wife get along here, and try to accept the life of three wives and four concubines." β
"But I can't...... I just have to think of sharing you with others in the future, even if I know that you don't like that person at all, even if I know that even if you take her as a concubine, you will put her in a corner and ignore her, I still can't stand it......"
"All I have to think about is ...... Thinking of this person's existence, thinking of what has happened between you, I can no longer do to you as usual. β
"I even thought, if I don't like it, if it's not you but someone else, maybe I can accept it, and I won't care so much."
But Shen Nanzhu ...... You're you...... It's your favorite...... How could I not care......"
She cried so hard that she was almost choked up and unable to speak.
Shen Nanzhu hugged her tightly, and the tears that he held back finally came out of his eyes.
"It's my fault, it's all my fault, it's okay if Bao'er is angry, just don't say anything about reconciliation and separation, don't say it again, please, Bao'er......"
Mengbao kept shaking his head, but he couldn't say a word, and he couldn't cry himself.
Shen Nanzhu was overwhelmed by self-blame and guilt, but he knew that any of his words of consolation were powerless in the face of the facts, so he could only hug her tightly with the same tears, and refused to let go of anything.
This night, almost no one slept in Dingnanhou Mansion, and everyone from the master to the bottom was panicked.
Of course. There is a special case to this, such as Lee's.
Compared with the old lady and Shen Nanzhu and others, although she was frightened because Ah Man twisted the little girl's arm in front of her, she was generally happy.
Thinking of Su Mengbao's heartbreak because of this, although the old lady was helpless, she had to accept the facts, she felt that the weather was a little better today, and the cold in winter seemed to be less obvious.
Thinking that Li Suyan is her niece, arranging to be by Shen Nanzhu's side in the future is equivalent to having more eyeliner and more help, and her mood is even better, and she can't wait to come to Shoufangyuan early in the morning.
"Mother. The daughter-in-law knows that it is not appropriate to come to you at this time. But Yan'er's affairs can't just drag on, right? Since she and Ah Zhu already have a husband and wife, they should give her a name as soon as possible, so as not to be unpleasant to the rumors outside. β
The old lady sneered: "Rumors? She came all the way to our house earlier and didn't worry about the rumors, but now she is afraid of this? It's ridiculous! β
Lee's face was a little ugly. But she's in a good mood today. These emotions were immediately accepted. smiled again: "Doesn't my daughter-in-law care about the son, Mengbao has been married into the house for two years and has not seen any movement, and the daughter-in-law also wants Ah Zhu to spread out as soon as possible." β
The old lady snorted softly. took a sip of the teacup, and said lightly: "Take your niece as a concubine and put it in advance, and I'll talk about it later." β
"What?"
Li was so anxious that he almost jumped to his feet.
This raw rice has been cooked, and he still refuses to give them a name?
Even if it's going to a brothel to find a prostitute. Female, you have to pay for the night after sleeping! This Shen Nanzhu slept with her niece, so she wanted to forget it so inexplicably? It doesn't make sense!
"Mother! Our Li family's family is indeed not high, and Yan'er is not a good lady, but the little family is still reasonable! Yan'er came to visit her daughter-in-law in the house, and if something like this happened, her daughter-in-law couldn't escape the blame! I have to give her and my mother's family an explanation! β
"With Yan'er's appearance and character, if you change to a slightly lower family, it is more than enough to be a wife! If it weren't for this incident, the daughter-in-law would have planned to show her a good family in Bei'an. β
"But now that she and A Zhumu have become a boat, for the sake of her reputation, her daughter-in-law has to ......"
"Enough!"
The old lady exchanged one sentence for her ten sentences, and her brain hurt when she heard it.
"It's for the sake of your niece's reputation that I will mention the matter of taking a concubine later!"
Li was stunned, his face was inexplicable.
The old lady took a deep breath and said, "Yesterday there was a mess in the house, although I have ordered that people are forbidden to spread the matter, but it is hard to guarantee that there are still some bad rumors. β
"If Azhu accepts your niece as a concubine at this time, these rumors will be confirmed, which is not a good thing for Azhu or your niece."
"When this rumor passes, we will inquire about a good day and get things done, and it will be good for both parties at that time."
Li Shi thought about it, as if this was the truth, although his face was still a little dazed, he still nodded according to the words.
After all, the old lady is full of words in the house, and since she has spoken, then this matter is certain! It doesn't matter if it's early or late.
I am afraid that the old lady will be angry and join hands with Shen Nanzhu to turn her face and deny people, then she will lose more than she gains.
"Okay, then listen to my mother, according to my mother's wishes!" Li said with a smile.
The old lady nodded, and let her out.
When the Li family was far away, she raised her forehead and sighed: "I can't drag it out for a while, and my wife can only do it here for Azhu." β
Mother Xu rubbed her shoulders and said, "Since it's all a matter of time and evening, why do you have to drag it out like this." It's a big deal to accept Miss Li now, and then place her in another courtyard. β
The old lady shook her head and said, "I finally suppressed Ah Zhu's anger last night, and if I mention it to him at this time, I don't know what he is going to do!" Rather than this, it is better to delay it, wait for him to calm down, make it clear to Mengbao, and mention this matter again, which will be less embarrassing. β
Mother Xu sighed: "The old lady has thought about everything for the prince, even if he still doesn't want to come to the future, he will give in to your face." β
"If you can, I just wish him and Mengbao a smooth love, back down or something, it doesn't matter."
