Chapter 31: The Past

Su Muqiu sat in the room for a while, and didn't see Fang Jinyi come back, so she got up and prepared to look for it.

Su Muqiu went out and happened to meet Sheng Sheng, who was walking towards him, so he asked, "Where is your young lady?" ”

Sheng Sheng bowed and saluted, and said, "The slave doesn't know. ”

"Why didn't you follow your young lady?" Su Muqiu asked, seemingly a little worried that Fang Jinyi was out alone.

Sheng Sheng lowered his head and replied a little timidly: "When Miss Fang Cai came out, the slave maid saw that the young lady's face was not very good, so she followed, but the young lady told the slave and maid not to follow. ”

Su Muqiu frowned slightly and said, "Then where will she be at this time?" ”

"When the young lady is in a bad mood, she always likes to go to the yard next to her." Sheng Sheng whispered, and looked up at the courtyard across the wall.

Su Muqiu followed Sheng Sheng's line of sight and asked, "What is that place?" ”

"That's Madame...... Where Miss's mother-in-law used to live. Sheng Sheng's face became a little ugly, she looked at the courtyard, and said, "Since the death of Madame, the general has ordered that no one is allowed to enter, and Miss always goes secretly. ”

Su Muqiu narrowed his eyes and said, "I heard that the general has a deep affection for the second lady, why did he seal the courtyard where the second lady once lived, and let it be depressed day by day?" ”

Sheng Sheng shook his head and said, "The slave doesn't know. ”

Su Muqiu looked at the courtyard in front of him silently, and for a long time, he suddenly said to Sheng Sheng: "It's still early, you can tell me about your young lady's past." ”

Sheng Sheng was stunned for a moment, and after reacting, he lowered his head and said, "Yes, uncle." ”

Su Muqiu sat on a stool and listened to Sheng Sheng's narration, starting when Fang Jinyi was ten years old, because Sheng Sheng followed Fang Jinyi when she was ten years old. At that time, Sheng Sheng was also ten years old, and the two could be said to have grown up together, a bit like a feeling of dependence on each other.

"Miss doesn't like to talk, and she doesn't have contact with the people in the house, the war was tense in those years, and the general was basically not in the house all year round, but because there was a big prince in the house, so Miss's life was quite passable. Later, the general came back, and the third lady changed from the concubine room to the main room, and her attitude towards the young lady also changed, but because of the general and the eldest prince, the third lady did not dare to embarrass the young lady. ”

"The eldest prince? Border general Fang Jinyi. Su Muqiu asked.

Sheng Sheng nodded and said, "Yes, the eldest prince is very good to the young lady, but as he gets older, the eldest prince begins to follow the general to fight, and his concern for the young lady is like distant water that does not quench his thirst." Later, the third lady became more and more popular, and began to be at the fork in the *** openly and secretly, and would punish the young lady from time to time. ”

Su Muqiu frowned slightly and asked, "Father-in-law doesn't care?" After all, there are many maids and servants in the house, and my father-in-law will not be unaware of this. ”

Sheng Sheng shook his head sadly and said: "Since the death of the second lady, the general has become unkind to see Miss, and sometimes when he comes back from the expedition, he would rather stay in the study than see Miss." It is because of this that the third lady has no fear, because no one speaks for the young lady. ”

"Didn't she take the initiative to say it?" Su Muqiu asked softly.

Sheng Sheng was stunned for a moment, and when he realized who 'she' was in Su Muqiu's mouth, he shook his head with a wry smile and said: "Miss is already silent, she has no mother, and she is not treated by her father, if she wants to stay in the house, she can only swallow her anger." Otherwise, they will only be kicked out of the house. ”

Su Muqiu's face became a little ugly, and his eyes became a little obscure, he couldn't imagine how the young Fang Jinyi survived when he was abused? I don't know, did she ever cry?

"Uncle, Miss is really pitiful, you must be kind to Miss in the future, but don't let her down." Sheng Sheng suddenly knelt on the ground and said to Su Muqiu, his eyes filled with tears.

Su Muqiu was stunned for a moment, then looked at Sheng Sheng with some amusement, and said, "Get up quickly, talk to talk, what are you doing on your knees?" Also, since I married your young lady, I will naturally be good to her, so you don't have to worry about this. ”

Sheng Sheng stood up obediently, looked at Su Muqiu and said: "The slave maid is because she has seen her uncle take care of Miss in every way in the past few days, so she told her uncle the truth about Miss's past, and I hope that my aunt will not hurt Miss in the future." ”

Su Muqiu looked at Sheng Sheng with a smile and said, "You are very loyal to your young lady." ”

Sheng Sheng lowered his head and said softly: "Miss treats Sheng Sheng like a sister, and Sheng Sheng will naturally treat Miss with sincerity." ”

Su Muqiu smiled and said, "Okay, it's not too early, wipe your tears and go and bring your young lady back." ”

"Yes, uncle."

After Sheng Sheng left, the smile on Su Muqiu's face suddenly disappeared, he picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, and asked, "Ziyi, what do you think?" ”

Ziyi, who was standing silently behind him, stepped forward and whispered, "Sheng Sheng is telling the truth. ”

Su Muqiu snorted coldly and said, "I naturally know that it is the truth, just the general's wife, and the sister who looks kind on the surface, but actually speaks badly, what good life can she live in this general's mansion?" ”

Ziyi nodded and said, "The master is right. ”

Su Muqiu glanced sideways at her and said, "This is not your style. Ziyi, when have you ever softened people's hearts? Can you tell me what made you change your hibiscus? ”

Ziyi was silent for a while, and replied, "Intuition." ”

Su Muqiu's eyebrows moved, and he said, "It's that simple? Seeing Ziyi nodding seriously, Su Muqiu said helplessly: "Okay, at least your intuition hasn't been wrong so far, and I hope it won't be this time." ”

Ziyi didn't speak, she trusted her instincts and her judgment.

"However, my little lady is not as Sheng Sheng said, powerless and only a promise-making person." Su Muqiu said suddenly, her eyes became a little unfathomable, "At least in my opinion, she is a calm and wise-minded person. ”

"Ziyi's heart is the same as that of the master." Ziyi lowered her head and said.

"The master is not simple, and the maids around him are naturally not simple." Su Muqiu said with a smile, turned her head to look at Ziyi, and said, "You pay more attention when you are with Shengsheng in the future, don't be seen by her." ”

Ziyi nodded and said, "Yes, Ziyi will pay attention." ”

Su Muqiu took a deep breath, stood up and looked out of the door, the corners of her mouth rose slightly, and said, "Okay, it's time to go out for your husband." ”

Since his little lady said that he was a backer, then he let her really rely on it, and let her see that he couldn't shake the mountain, and she could let her rely on it.

It's just that the price of this backing is a bit big. But looking at his little lady's posture, it seems that no matter what the price, she can afford it.
