Chapter 138: Evil Spirits
Wen's crying and trembling hairstyle scattered, and she collapsed to the ground.
Wen's stunned eyes didn't get the slightest pity from the old lady.
"Wen, you give me enough time!"
Then he left with Qu Miaoling.
Wen sat dumbfounded, and it wasn't until Taolei came over to call her that she gradually regained her senses, "Madam, Madam, are you okay?" β
"Huh."
A grim laugh slipped from her lips, and Wen's face turned pale, looking like a demon crawling out of the ground, with her green fangs open, trying to devour everyone she hated.
"Help me up!" The voice was still gloomy, and when Tao Lei reached out and touched Wen's cold skin, she shivered.
β¦β¦
Walking out of the front hall, Qu Miaoling would think of the tragic situation of the Wen family, and there was a moment of happiness in her heart, but inexplicably, she remembered her own self in her previous life, and was occupied by Wen Qing's shallow dove, at that time, she was much more miserable than the current Wen family.
At least, the Wen family still has the title of Mrs. Hou, and a child of that age, as long as she doesn't do it, at least a lifetime of glory and wealth will not run away.
But what about her?
The position of concubine was taken away, the children were killed, and even all those who loved themselves were executed. How miserable it is to be alone.
The old lady naturally noticed Qu Miaoling's pale complexion, "Miaoling, do you think grandmother is too cold-blooded?" β
"Of course not."
The old lady sighed, how could she still be ruthless in the face of the Wen family just now.
"Grandmother is helpless to do this, which old lady is not full of children and grandchildren, you look at Mrs. Wang, there are two grandchildren alone, not to mention grandchildren, but if you look at our family, there is only one Qu Chensi, in the end, it is necessary to support the lintel of the Qu family, how can there be few men? The Wen family has controlled Hou Ye all her life, and now, it is time for her to get the bitter fruit! β
With that, the old lady separated from Qu Miaoling.
When they were separated, the old lady also deliberately asked Mama Qiao to go to Jiang Jingjing's Qingyi to comfort her.
He also brought her tonic medicine to help her conceive.
"Aunt Jiang, the old lady is kind-hearted, and specially sent a slave maid to send you some tonics, and I hope to take good care of your body and give birth to a big fat boy for Master Hou."
Mama Qiao spoke bluntly, and Jiang Jingjing's face turned red.
"Please rest assured, the old lady will know it."
After sending off Mama Qiao, Jiang Jingjing sat down with Hongrui's support, "Master, the old lady is very good to you." β
"Really?" Jiang Jingjing sneered, "Hongrui, you are wrong, she is not good to me, she has high hopes for my belly, she wants a grandson, she has to be good to me." These medicines were received in the treasury and kept for giving away later. β
As soon as Jiang Jingjing's voice fell, Hong Rui was puzzled: "Miss, they are all excellent medicinal materials, why do we want to give them away, don't we keep them ourselves-"
"Hongrui, you forgot, Lang Zhong said that it is very difficult for me to conceive an heir from now on."
All of a sudden, he was poked in the sad thing again, and Hongrui wilted.
The master and servant did not speak for a long time.
"Master, someone came to report just now, saying that the Wen family asked the old lady for help, and was severely reprimanded." Not knowing how to comfort the master, Hong Rui said stiffly.
It's all the masters of the Wen family's harm to have a difficult pregnancy, and when they hear the Wen family's troubles, the master should be happier.
Sure enough, Jiang Jingjing laughed.
"Wen, this is what you owe me!"
As for Wen's side, after she went crazy in the yard, she immediately heard that the old lady sent Mama Qiao to deliver medicine to Jiang Jingjing, and the medicine she sent was still a tonic that was beneficial to her heirs.
"Old lady!"
Wen began to go crazy again, and the yard was in chaos, and no one dared to put their beaks in their mouths.
Since this incident, the Wen clan has stopped at a speed visible to the naked eye for a period of time, as if this woman has disappeared, and the entire Hou Mansion is quiet.
And the account book of the Hou Mansion was in Qu Miaoling's hands, everything was running in an orderly manner, and she had really learned a lot of useful things.
On this day, Yue Yang sent someone to hand over the post, saying that he was asking Qu Miaoling to go out to tailor.
Qu Miaoling agreed, anyway, she has nothing to do lately.
The two made an appointment to meet on the edge of Dongting Lake, which is a place with extremely beautiful scenery, surrounded by maple trees, and it is also the season when the maple leaves are in full bloom, and many rich ladies and official women enjoy playing here.
Of course, there is also a pair of infatuated men and women, who have a private meeting here.
"Miao Ling, here!"
Yue Yang beckoned to Qu Miaoling.
Originally, Yue Yang planned to go directly to the Garment Garden, but she heard that the scenery here was good, so she brought Qu Miaoling here.
"Oh, don't be so restrained, we're here to have fun, not to learn the rules."
Yue Yang hates being bound by rules the most, because there are no elders in the family, and her brother is indulgent, she has also developed an indulgent temperament, but she is cute and tight, and it doesn't look abrupt at all.
Also, in the end, there is the blood of the eldest princess.
"Look over there, if it's a couple."
Looking along Yue Yang's hand, sure enough, a couple of men and women were walking along the lake, and the man inadvertently reached out and brushed the woman's arm.
The woman dodged as if she had been burned, but blushed and took something out of her sleeve.
"It's a purse!" Yue Yang almost shouted.
Then the two saw the woman hanging the purse on the man, and the man looked at the woman affectionately.
Yue Yang couldn't help but hold it with both hands, put it on his chest and said, "It's really good, Miao Ling, do you have a favorite person, if so, give him a purse." β
Do you want to send a purse?
After snorting at the edge of his lips, Qu Miaoling had an idea in his heart.
After enjoying the scenery, the two of them walked to the garment garden, the place is not big, but the clothes in it meet Yueyang's taste.
"Miao Ling, I'll try on clothes, you can take a look," and then followed the maid in the store.
Qu Miaoling looked around, and finally stopped in front of a purse stall, and the shopkeeper happened to be here, and hurriedly came over to recommend Qu Miaoling: "This young lady, but I want to pick a purse to give to my sweetheart, our purses here are all embroidered by special embroiderers for half a month, and the craftsmanship is needless to sayββ"
In fact, there are not many people who come to buy purses, and there are very few women who don't know how to work as women.
However, the shopkeeper looked at Qu Miaoling's appearance, and then looked at the slender jade hand, and was also puzzled.
This girl doesn't look like she's not good at being a female celebrity.
The shopkeeper guessed correctly, Qu Miaoling is not only a female celebrity, but also very exquisite, under the teaching of Mrs. An, and then there is the craftsmanship inheritance of the county lord of Huiling, the things she embroidered are vivid, just like living, a purse is naturally not a problem.
It's justβ
Qu Miaoling felt that the relationship between herself and Situ Huai was not yet the step of sending a purse.
When she is sure that the person can be together forever, she will not deliver her true heart.
It's still early.
When Yue Yang came out after changing her clothes, Qu Miaoling had already picked out a purse embroidered with green bamboo, and the overall color was light cyan, she felt that it matched Situ Huaiju's temperament very well.
Moreover, there is another point, at the bottom of this purse, there is a pattern similar to the guqin, and she feels that this guqin can represent herself.
Clenching the purse in her hand, she paid.
"Miao Ling, you really bought a purse! Why don't you embroider one yourself! β
Yue Yang suddenly patted her shoulder, and Qu Miaoling answered Yue Yang's question in silence.
"What, don't you want to say?"
"Of course not, I just don't think it's the time yet."
"Then may I ask Miss Qu, when is the time?"
"Then it depends on when our eldest lady gets married?"
"Qu Miaoling, you've gone too far!"
The two girls laughed together.
I paid for the clothes I chose, and it was almost dark, so I went home.
Before parting, Yue Yang said: "Don't forget to send the purse!" β
Qu Miaoling waved his hand, "I know." β
Before returning to the Hou Mansion, Qu Miaoling asked the carriage to stop, "Go to the Mansion of the Emperor of the Counties." β
The groom immediately turned the car around.
At the gate of the palace, Qu Miaoling got out of the car and sent someone to ask the little guy, and when she learned that the king of the county was not in the mansion, she thought about it, wrapped the lotus in a small box, and handed it to the little guy.
"You must give it to the county king, just say that I sent it."
"Yes."
Can't give the gift out in person, Qu Miaoling also feels regretful, but this can't be helped, she can't wait in front of the county king's mansion all the time.
Wen's has been quiet these days, and her silence does not mean that she is honest.
In addition to eating in the past few days, she has been thinking about herself and Jiang Jingjing and Wu Dehou, what Wen Hongzhi told her that day, she also thought upside down, and finally, she figured it out.
In the past, she was stupid, or she was deceived by Wu Dehou for too long, how can a man be dedicated, the illusion of the past blinded her eyes, and she just didn't see it clearly for a while.
In the future, she won't.
For Jiang Jingjing, she can care about it superficially, and for Wu Dehou, she can also be false and wronged.
Sincerely, she won't send it out to be trampled on again.
An gave birth for a few days, and Wen also thought more and more clearly, she felt that she could no longer stalemate with Hou Ye, without favor, she still had a son and rights.
These are the foundations of her life.
She must not be discarded.
"Taolei, you go to the academy and call Tatsumi back, and say that I have something."
Because Qu Chensi is busy with her studies, she will not call her son back, but at the moment, she has no other way.
In the past few days, although she has not appeared in front of the people in the mansion, and she has stopped Jiang Jingjing's invitations, this does not mean that she does not care about the affairs in the Hou Mansion.
She knew that the old lady had sent a lot of tonic medicine to Qingyi.
She also knew that Hou Ye was now staying in Jiang Jingjing's courtyard, and she knew it clearly even when he called for water a few times at night.
Although there was still some pain in his heart, Wen desperately let himself go.
From then on, she and Wu Dehou were just husband and wife, not lovers.
Qu Chensi couldn't ask for leave, so he could only come out at night, and on this day, the carriage of the Hou Mansion took Qu Chensi back.
He is like a wild horse that has escaped its grip, and he can't be happy.
The life of the academy is too intense, and everyone is studying hard, just for the next exam.
He doesn't like to study, but he can't help it.
I haven't seen my son for a long time, and Wen can't miss it so much that he personally went to the door of the Hou Mansion to pick up his son back, and specially ordered the kitchen to make a lot of dishes that his son likes to eat.
After her son came back, Tao Lei immediately went to invite Master Hou with a smile.
As soon as Hou Ye returned to the house, he went to Jiang Jingjing's house, and was stopped by Jiang's subordinates, Tao Lei was not discouraged, and immediately shouted inside: "Hou Ye, the second young master is back, you go and take a look!" He also won the praise of his master in the academy! β
Jiang Jingjing was serving Wu Dehou for dinner, and when she heard the words, the two of them had a meal.
Jiang Jingjing pretended to be generous and said: "Master Hou, the second young master finally came back once, you can go over and take a look, the concubine is here alone." β
After speaking, she sat down shyly and timidly, although she didn't expect Wu Dehou to leave her son behind, but when the other party really left, her heart was empty.
"Master, don't be sad, the second young master is the only son of the Hou Ye."
"Yes, when will I give birth to a big fat boy for Hou Ye!" Touching her stomach, Jiang Jingjing's expression became sad.
But thinking that it was difficult for her to conceive an heir, Jiang Jingjing's heart was cold, it's okay now, but what if it is in the future, there will be a younger and more beautiful woman who makes Wu Dehou nostalgic?
Jiang Jingjing panicked, "Hongrui, you go quickly, cook all the medicine sent by the old lady for me, I want to drink it!" β
Hongrui saw that her master was anxious, so she hurriedly went.
In the room, Jiang Jingjing looked at a table of sumptuous dishes that Wu Dehou liked, and suddenly knocked over the dishes and plates.
It crackled and fell to the ground.
Why not give her a baby, why!
Wen, you have such a vicious heart!
I won't let you go!
Jiang Jingjing secretly swore to herself.
Seeing Wu Dehou stepping into the courtyard, Wen's heart was a little relieved.
"Master Hou."
Wu Dehou ignored it, sat down directly, and had a good conversation with his son.
