Song Qiuxue's eyes were still on the fish hot pot, and when she heard Su Yue's words, she sighed: "In the early years, the second lady was very favored, but then she was not ready to have a miscarriage for a while, and since then she has lived alone in the side courtyard and has not gone out, and she is depressed." ”

"I see."

Deeply feeling that the second lady was also a poor person, Su Yue said softly: "The second lady has helped us anyway, let's eat with her with fish hot pot!" ”

After all, it was the fish that Cuizhu bought, where could they eat it?

When the two of them were looking for the second lady with a fish pot, the second lady was eating. A bowl of clear porridge, a stack of pickles, simple and pitiful.

"Miss, Miss Su?"

The second lady was surprised that the two would suddenly come to find her, and after coming to her senses, she quickly stood up: "Cuizhu, quickly move a stool for the two of you." ”

Su Yue carefully put the fish pot on the table and smiled: "Today I accidentally stewed the fish that Cuizhu bought for you, and after thinking about it, I brought this pot of fish over and ate it with the second lady." ”

Living alone in a small courtyard for many years, the second lady has long looked at food, clothing, housing and transportation, and sometimes even half a bowl of porridge is enough to fill her stomach.

But today, smelling the smell of this fragrant fish, I couldn't help but light up in my eyes: "This girl Cuizhu often cooks fish soup for me, but it is not as good as Miss Su's craftsmanship, just smelling it already makes people want to taste it." ”

Cuizhu brought a few pairs of chopsticks, Song Qiuxue reached out to take them, and said with a smile: "Sister Su Yue's craftsmanship is invincible in the world, this is called fish hot pot, and the second lady will definitely forget it after eating it." ”

Su Yue lifted the lid and personally put a piece of fish meat in the bowl for the second lady, seeing that the second lady was slender, she smiled kindly: "I heard that the second lady usually doesn't like to eat very much, try my craft today, if you like it, I will make it for you every day in the future." ”

Trapped in this mansion and unable to leave, and enduring the bitter and mean eldest lady, it is not easy to think that the second lady will have a hard time on weekdays.

Alas, the pathos of this ancient woman!

The second lady couldn't wait to taste Su Yue's craftsmanship, and couldn't help but admire: "Miss Su, I have never tasted such delicious fish and meat, I didn't expect your craftsmanship to be so good, so delicious." ”

"Really?"

Su Yue sandwiched another piece for the second lady: "Then starting tomorrow, I will come to the second lady for dinner every day." ”

The second lady nodded again and again, thinking of something, her expression gradually became gloomy: "The eldest lady doesn't like me to go out, Miss Su still don't get too close to me, lest the eldest lady dislike you." ”

"...... "The eldest lady never liked her in the first place, did she?"

Su Yue rolled her eyes: "Come on, the eldest lady was almost bitten by a snake just now, and she probably hates me to death." ”

"That's it."

Song Qiuxue chirped and ate, and didn't forget to hum lightly: "Anyway, the eldest lady doesn't dare to do anything to the two of us, you can rest assured." ”

Seeing that the two of them said this, the second lady had no choice but to smile, these two people's identities are not ordinary, but she is worried.

In the next few days, Su Yue pulled Song Qiuxue to make hot pot for the second lady every day, and at the same time, Su Yue also began to study new hot pot flavors.

On this day, Su Yue made a sour and appetizing hot pot and came to find the second lady, but she heard Cuizhu say that the second lady was incense in the bamboo forest in the backyard, Song Qiuxue sighed: "Today is the first day of the new year, every fifteenth day of the new year, the second lady has to give incense and pray for her unborn child, each time it will take several hours, we will leave this hot pot and come back tomorrow." ”

Su Yue pursed the corners of her mouth, the child that the second lady lost at the beginning should not be an accident!

An accident will not make the second lady close for so many years, such a young person should not lose all his youth and years in this high-gate compound.

Tightening her palms, Su Yue said softly: "You go back first, I'll go see her." ”

Rejecting Cuizhu's escort, Su Yue came to the bamboo forest in the backyard alone, and saw the second lady kneeling in a plain skirt and crying bitterly at a glance.

"Zun'er, it's useless to be a mother, and your mother can't protect you."

Caressing the words on the tombstone, the second lady burst into tears: "If you are still alive now, you think about it is already very high, everything is the fault of your mother, your mother's relatives are weak, and they can't resist if they are poured red flowers by the eldest lady." ”

Su Yue's eyes widened in shock, was it really not an accident that the second lady had a miscarriage back then, it was because the eldest lady forcibly poured the safflower?

But what Song Qi was doing at that time, why didn't he protect the second lady as soon as possible?

"Zun'er, why don't you know to entrust your mother to your dream all these years?"

The second lady, who was in the pain of losing her child, didn't know about Su Yue's arrival, and she murmured: "My mother knows, you must still blame my mother, so I refuse to dream." But my mother has been living for so many years, and it is difficult to sleep and eat, if it weren't for the old people in my mother's family who need to take care of me, how could I not accompany you? I don't know if you were bullied under Jiuquan, did you cry? ”

Su Yue sighed secretly, and was about to turn around and leave, but accidentally stepped on the residual leaves on the ground, making a sound.

The second lady turned around and saw that it was Su Yue, so she quickly wiped away her tears: "How could Miss Su be you?" I thought it was green bamboo! You...... Did you hear what I said? ”

"Yes."

Nodding, Su Yue took the initiative to step forward and pick up the incense on the ground and lit it: "This child has no mother-child fate with you in this life, but maybe he will accompany you in another way!" The second lady should not be so sad. ”

"Another way?"

The second lady looked sad: "It's too late for Zun'er to resent me, how can he accompany me?" ”

Su Yue inserted the incense into the incense burner and pointed to the chirping kingfishers on the tree: "Look at these birds, they don't go anywhere, they just want to live in your small bamboo forest, maybe they are your relatives, because they care about you, so they are reincarnated as birds, just to accompany you day and night." ”

The second lady looked around and said softly, "Do you mean, my venerable son is also among these birds?" ”

"Maybe!"

The corners of her lips hooked slightly, and Su Yue stretched out her hand to pull up the second lady: "You are still so young, isn't it too wasteful to be locked up in the yard every day?" No matter what you've been through, you can't give up on yourself, can you? ”

The second lady sniffed and choked: "But what can I do when I go out?" This house is full of people from the Great Lady, and I really don't want to see her. ”

Every time she saw the eldest lady, she would think of the scene of her son being lost, she really couldn't stand the stimulation, and then she simply closed the door.

Su Yue also knew that the second lady was reluctant to go out because she couldn't break the knot in her heart, so she smiled: "I made sauerkraut hot pot today, let's go, eat first." ”

Song Qiuxue waited for the flowers to thank her, and finally saw the two of them come out, and hurriedly urged: "I asked people to take this sauerkraut back from the Huiwei Pavilion, it is delicious and appetizing, it would be a pity if the second lady couldn't taste it." ”

The three of them sat down, and the second lady smiled a little embarrassedly: "Let the eldest lady wait for the concubine, it's really not the concubine." ”

"Eat, eat, eat!"

Song Qiuxue has never liked to say these polite words, so she directly picked up the chopsticks and prepared to pick up the dishes, and at this moment, the door was kicked open, and the eldest lady stood at the door with angry eyes: "The second lady still has the leisure to eat, let me ask you, did you steal the pearl earrings in my room?" ”

In the face of the eldest lady's nonsense, the second lady looked very calm: "The concubine didn't go to your room, let alone steal anything." ”
