Back in the main room, Xiao Jinshu was still asleep, and when he saw that the time was almost time to greet the old lady, Changsheng's heart moved. I heard that in order to distinguish between the Winnie sisters, the old lady allowed one of them to wear red clothes and the other green clothes all year round.

Except for Granny Lu, who was promised not to participate in the New Year's greetings, the remaining more than 100 domestic slaves went in two batches of men and women, and the Winnie sisters did not go to the old lady to find out at a glance, it is likely that Granny Lu was drunk and had a fever last night, if she and Mingjing are suspected, what to do next is not so easy.

"Xiao Wei, just me and Douhuang here, you and Xiao Ni go and kowtow to the old lady, if she learns that Granny Lu is drunk and has a fever and has not woken up yet, I am afraid that the entire Jinshu Courtyard will suffer."

The two of them came to their senses and nodded gratefully: "Miss Xie mentions, let's go over." The eldest lady's new clothes and shoes and socks for the New Year are placed at the head of the bed, and the silk brocade ribbon and the gold lock are stored in the box. The third prince told us that we should obey the girl's dispatch, and if the girl has something to ask, she must do her best. ”

Changsheng nodded, I don't know what means Mingjing used to subdue them last night, but he still smiled and said: "Please tell the old lady when you go, just say that the eldest lady refuses to go out in the morning, does not allow Mother Lu to leave a step, and refuses to see anyone, Mother Lu can't take her to pay New Year's greetings, so I sent you over to say something." Remember? ”

The two nodded solemnly, and Xiao Wei whispered: "Girl, don't worry, no one in the main room dares to come in casually, everyone thinks that Mother Lu woke up early to take care of the eldest lady here, and the two mothers-in-law have also been sealed. ”

Changsheng nodded with relief, seeing them go away, Ling Douhuang covered the door and guarded outside, came to the bedroom by himself, lit the candle, and covered it with a sheepskin lampshade, and the room was suddenly shrouded in a soft and dim yellow light, even if Xiao Jinshu woke up, he would not feel dazzling.

Mingjing definitely won't allow Granny Lu to appear by Jinshu's side again, what kind of reason should she find to deceive her? And then in the future, give her more love and security, and let her forget this person a little bit?

But she has begun to be sensible, and a person closest to her trust suddenly disappeared for no reason, and she didn't believe it no matter how good the explanation was, and no amount of care could alleviate her panic and helplessness.

It won't work to let Granny Lu go first, if she learns about last night's incident, she will definitely understand that her actions have been exposed, and if she doesn't know what she will do, her accomplices will also startle the snake.

Suddenly remembering Bai Mei's meticulous and thoughtful preparation of gifts for her and her expression when she received the gifts, her heart jumped, and a bold plan gradually took shape.

And the key to the implementation of this plan is to see if Xiao Jinmei cooperates or not, and does not expect a child to be able to not mention last night's events for a long time, but it is always okay to coax her to hide it for three or five days, right?

Seeing that the hour was almost up, she sang the nursery rhyme in a low voice. Xiao Jinshu's eyelids lifted, turned over and fell asleep again, Changsheng sighed, touched her hair, and continued to sing.

Xiao Jinshu finally opened her eyes, but she didn't see Granny Lu, she was stunned all of a sudden, her breathing became short, her pale little face turned red, and she instinctively grabbed the tent and stared at Changsheng in horror, as if she had suffered a catastrophe.

Changsheng was stunned, her reaction was so strong! It's like you don't know yourself at all! No wonder Mingche and Mingjing didn't perceive Granny Lu's sinister intentions, Jinshu relied too much on trusting her, and neither she nor Mingjing's efforts last night left any impression on her.

I made a quick decision in my heart, and I must persuade Mingjing to act according to his plan. She stared at Jinshu's eyes tenderly and whispered, "What's the matter, little Jinshu?" Don't know me anymore? I was with you last night? After speaking, he began to sing yesterday's song again: "It's raining, it's raining, the watermelon is sprouting, **** girl, **** girl, my eyes are wide open......"

Xiao Jinshu's eyes lit up, she exhaled a long breath, her hand was released, her expression gradually became kind, and she listened to Changsheng finish singing, and then she shouted sweetly: "Aunt Changsheng!" ”

Changsheng nodded at her dotingly: "I thought you didn't know me anymore!" ”

Xiao Jinshu lowered her head a little ashamedly, and said embarrassedly: "I was scared not to see Mama and forgot everything, but now I remember it again." ”

"It's good to think about. I live in the West Cross Courtyard, and we will often see each other in the future, so you won't forget me if you don't listen to songs! ”

Xiao Jinshu looked around suspiciously, and her face suddenly became nervous: "What about Mama?" Does she not want me anymore? ”

"Silly girl, you forgot, she was drunk yesterday, and I just went to see her and she was still asleep. Why don't you get up first and eat sugar water and eggs, and let's go to see Mama together? ”

Hearing that Mama Lu didn't want her, Xiao Jinshu breathed a sigh of relief, although she was a little hesitant and resistant, she still obediently let Changsheng and Douhuang take care of her and dress and freshen up.

Changsheng had been patiently waiting for her to speak, not believing that she would completely forget about the events of last night, so he intentionally or unintentionally mentioned how much Mingche cared about and missed her in Jinyang.

Jin Shu finally spoke timidly: "Did what you said yesterday be true?" Is Mama really joking with me? Will my mother really come back when she recovers? Does my dad really miss me? I won't have another stepmother, will I? ”

Changsheng stared at her eyes gently and firmly, and said undoubtedly: "Believe Auntie, I will never lie to you, you are the cutest child, no one will not want you, although Auntie has only known you for two days, she also hurts you so much!" ”

Jin Shu smiled sweetly, like the purest and most delicate flower, but soon said in fear: "But I don't like Mama to lie to me with such a joke, why should she lie to me?" Can I ask her? ”

Finally said the most critical issue, Changsheng was excited in his heart, and he was still smiling kindly on the surface: "Oh, it turned out that Mama's joke frightened our Jinshu, she loves Jinshu so much, if you know that you are scared like this because of a few jokes, I'm afraid you will be sad and blame yourself, right?" I think Jinshu must not want her to be sad, right? Why don't we tell her about it first? ”

"And when will you tell her?"

"Wait until your mother comes back and tell her, okay? At that time, it was too late for her to be happy, and she would not be sad and blame herself. ”

Jin Shu hesitated for a moment and nodded, but asked suspiciously: "But why did Mama make such a joke to lie to me?" ”

Changsheng still looked at her gently: "I don't think she meant to lie to you. I heard that your mother was very sick when she left, and she didn't know that your mother would come back alive, you were still young at the time, crying every day to ask for your mother, she had no choice but to lie to you, right? As for your father, I think she was afraid that if you didn't make your father angry, her stepmother wouldn't love you if she married her, so she lied to you and made you obedient. ”

Jin Shu really believed it, and smiled shyly: "I can't remember what happened when I was a child, but I will be very well-behaved." Changsheng wiped a handful of sweat, in the end, she was a young child, and she rarely had contact with people and was not familiar with the world, and she was deceived by a few loopholes. But is the stepmother so terrible?

"I know Jinshu is a good boy. Come, let's play the hook and remember to pretend that nothing happened, and tell Mama when your mother comes back, or she will be sad, right? ”
