Chapter 9 Intentions
"Jinhua, tell the two masters about it." Mrs. Hou didn't want to bother with her own words, so she only told Mama Jin.
Mama Jin told me everything about it.
After Mrs. Hou finished speaking, she said, "If we let our own blood flow outside, the people in the capital will not know how to laugh at us." ”
She looked at the second master: "So, Ming'er, you go with your daughter-in-law and bring the child back, her child's family is not sensible, you talk coaxing, don't make the child angry and unwilling to come back." If there is anything to be learned, bring it back. ”
She stared at her son-in-law: "Your daughter-in-law is a strange one." I lost the child back then, and now others help us find the child back, you look at the stinky face she is on, as if someone else has harmed her. Just like her, Ming'er doesn't know how to treat the child. I can tell you, if the child can't be picked up, you will give me a room. ”
The second master, Zhao Yuanliang, is a concubine, and he has no ability, so he is unwilling to split the family, and he has no temper in front of his mother-in-law.
He resignedly agreed, and explained to his daughter-in-law: "Wei just feels that she has lost her child, she has no face, and she is annoyed when others see the joke, and she has no other ideas." ”
"Hmph, the foolish things she did by herself caused the entire Hou Mansion to lose face, and caused the child to suffer outside for more than ten years. She didn't want to do this, she just wanted her face, why was her face so big? Old Madam Hou sneered.
Zhao Yuanliang didn't dare to be silent.
"Alright, let's go back. Ming'er, Steward Liu, and Mama Ruan also followed together. What to do, you two weigh it up. Old Madam Hou looked at his face impatiently, and let him leave after the beating.
……
In a small courtyard of the Hou Mansion, Zhao Ruyu was sitting at the desk in the room, looking at a painting he had drawn in a daze.
When she came back from Mrs. Hou, she has maintained this posture until now.
Her eldest maid couldn't stand it anymore, and comforted her: "Girl, didn't the old lady and the lady say? They just took Miss Xi back, and they won't send you back. Don't think about it. ”
She didn't mention the second lady. She knew that the second lady always pretended to love the girl very much in Mrs. Hou and Mrs. Hou, but in fact, behind the scenes, she was very indifferent to the girl, even if the girl was sick and went to her, she would only let Langzhong be invited at most, but she never came to see her. It's not like the young master, that's the real love.
So if Mrs. Hou and Mrs. Hou really made up their minds to send the girl back to the Xu family, the second lady would definitely not stop her.
But just now, Mrs. Hou and Mrs. Hou both spoke, and if they didn't send the girl back, she couldn't understand why the girl still looked gloomy.
Zhao Ruyu sat there staring at the painting, but she didn't want Fu Shu to see that she was in a daze, but in fact, her thoughts had already drifted far away.
But Rao still didn't let her be quiet, she couldn't help but be a little irritable, waved her hand and said, "I'm fine." With that, she simply found a reason, "I'm a little dizzy, go and lie down in bed for a while." ”
As he spoke, he didn't wait for his hands to help, he put down the tent himself, and lay down directly on the bed without taking off his clothes.
Seeing this situation, Fu Shu became more and more worried. But the girl didn't want to speak, and she had no choice but to take an embroidered bandage and sit in front of the bed to guard, lest Zhao Ruyu have something wrong.
Isolated all the distractions from the tent, Zhao Ruyu felt calm and continued to think about his thoughts.
In her last life, she successfully married Lu Yongbin, the second son of Pingnan Hou. Later, the Marquis of Pingnan and the prince died on the battlefield one after another, and the emperor remembered that they were loyal to the martyrs, and did not take back the title, and successfully let Lu Yongbin become the Marquis of Pingnan, and she also became Mrs. Hou. Although Lu Yongbin was also stationed on the frontier like his father and brother, he lived to the age of 67 and died. As Mrs. Hou, she also lived to be seventy-three years old, and the boy and girl she gave birth to were also raised. Although his son did not have much success, he also became a fourth-rank officer in the military department.
In her previous life, not only among the sisters in the Suiping Marquis Mansion, but also among her peers in the capital, her married life was also very happy. On the contrary, Xu Xi's fate was very miserable.
After returning from rebirth, she felt that she didn't need to change anything, as long as no one interfered with her, she still followed the trajectory of her previous life.
But when she found out that Xu Xi might be a reborn person, she suddenly panicked in her heart. Xu Xi is definitely an uncertain factor. She had a miserable life in her last life, and she lived a happy life, so she wouldn't come to rob her of her happy life, right?
All of a sudden, countless thoughts turned in Zhao Ruyu's mind, and even the idea of poisoning Xu Xi and directly making her disappear into this world came out. However, this idea was denied by her.
She is not Mrs. Pingnanhou now, and there is no one available except for Fu Shu in her hands. There were other maids and women in her yard, but they were not faithful to her. If you do it, it will leave a trace. Once she makes a move and let people know, no matter whether she has any use value or not, it is estimated that the old lady and the eldest lady will not spare her life, after all, no matter how Xu Xi is, she is also the blood of the Hou Mansion.
What's more, she still doesn't know what happened to Xu Xi. Maybe it wasn't what she thought? Harming people's lives for no reason, she really can't do it.
Moreover, she has been reborn, and no matter what she does, she will only be better than in her previous life. Lu Yongbin was attracted by her with great effort, and she successfully married him in her last life; In this life, whether she has a better understanding of Lu Yongbin or Mrs. Pingnanhou's preferences and temperaments, she knows better than them. Rao is like this, her marriage can still be robbed by Xu Xi, then she is too incompetent.
Moreover, she decided to apply for the Beijing Women's Academy. With the talent she has accumulated in her two lifetimes, she should be able to pass the exam smoothly. When she entered the girls' academy, she was only better than her previous life. Even if Xu Xi lives a lifetime, with her stupid brain and her unworthy temperament, she will definitely not be able to compare to her. What was she afraid of?
Thinking like this, Zhao Ruyu gradually relaxed. Yesterday, knowing that Xu Xi was going home today, she remembered the events of her previous life and didn't sleep well all night. Now she was lying on the bed, and sleepiness came up, and she fell asleep at once.
Fu Shu was not at ease, and there was no movement in the tent for a long time, she put down the needle and thread, gently opened the tent a crack, and found that Zhao Ruyu was already asleep, so she was relieved.
……
In Xujia Village, Xie was restless all day, and it was not until he saw her husband Xu Yongyi come back in the evening that her heart calmed down, and she told him what happened today without waiting for him to put down his things.
Xu Yongyi looked at Xu Xi who was entering the door when he heard him come back in surprise, and asked, "Sister Xi, what your aunt said is true?" ”
Xu Xi nodded: "It's true." But he had no intention of saying this, and asked Xu Yongyi eagerly, "Uncle, have you inquired for me?" ”
Xu Yongyi nodded: "I inquired." ”
He looked at Xu Xi, thinking that this niece was Miss Houfu, and his eyes were complicated: "I heard that there is an exam, and you can enter after passing the exam." He hesitated, "But, aren't you really going back to the Hou Mansion?" ”
"I don't want to go back." Xu Xi looked at Xu Yongyi firmly, "I want to go to the academy to study." ”
