Chapter 33: Sin
Mama Qing held Shangguan Lanling's hand and looked at the child she had brought up. Her own mother had a thin life, and she left not long after giving birth to her, and she was pulled from the palace by the old general to take care of her. She's like her own child, how can she not feel distressed.
"Madam," Mama Qing lovingly helped her comb her sideburns and said softly, "Miss Yue'er has been missing for more than a month, especially when she was kidnapped by thieves like Nie Hong, in their hearts, even if Miss Yue'er comes back safely, she is not worthy of His Royal Highness the Prince." β
Shangguan Lanling's heart couldn't help but tighten, she was only worried about Yue'er's safety before, and she didn't have the heart to think about this. Now that Mama Qing said this, her hands and feet were cold for a while.
"That ......" Shangguan Lanling's hand couldn't help but clench.
"Madam, you don't have to worry," Mama Qing reassured her, "Since the emperor has let the lord take a vacation to accompany you, he is still thinking of the merits of the prince and the loyalty of the lord, and there is still a turning point in this matter." β
"But, the Queen......"
Mama Qing nodded, the emperor probably had other thoughts in his heart. Originally, the emperor also made this move in order to appease Guogong and his subordinates.
Now, it is Qianfu who has lost the eldest lady by himself. If Miss Yue'er had an accident, the royal family would take the opportunity to regret it, and Qianfu would only swallow this grievance. Even the royal family can still take care of the Qian Mansion, after all, it is the prince's fiancΓ©e who has been lost, although the official betrothal has not yet been made. Therefore, the old man was ordered to take care of the children at home, which was also a little punishment from the emperor.
I knew in my heart that there was still a lot hidden in the words: "Madam, the queen may just say that." If someone has a heart to spread it, it will change its taste. Rest assured. There is a town and a prince, and this family affair is not yellow. β
Shangguan Lanling nodded, except for her father, who had retired, she and her husband had no backing, so they could only rely on themselves. Now I can only take advantage of the fact that my old father Yu Wei is still there, hoping to rely on this family business to make Qianfu's heel in the court more stable.
"Madam, the only thing you have to do now is to raise the baby with peace of mind." Mama Qing hesitated, thinking that speaking out would strengthen her mind to make herself better.
So she held Shangguan Lanling's hand and whispered, "In case, Miss Yue'er has three long and two short, and you also have a daughter!" β
"Qing Niang?" Shangguan Lanling was shocked, "You mean ......?"
Mama Qing remembered what that person said, her heart was crossed, and she nodded: "Madam, the emperor's will back then was that the eldest lady of Qianfu should be the crown princess." β
"Qing Niang!" Shangguan Lan Ling was startled, and there was a hint of fear in her eyes when she looked at Grandma Qing.
Mama Qing was seen by her eyes for a moment of retreat and hesitation, but finally firmed her gaze: "Madam, the lord and Qianfu, and your future are all in your belly!" β
Shangguan Lan Ling panicked, and Mama Qing's words frightened her. But the future of the old man and Qianfu worried her again.
"Madame, don't think about anything!" Mama Qing clenched her hand, "You just need to have a good baby." The slave maid wishes in this life, and I only hope that you can be happy and worry-free. β
"Young lady? You ......"
"Madam, if one day it really happens, Mama will bear this sin for you!" Mama Qing said silently in her heart, she patted Shangguan Lanling's hand and stopped continuing the topic.
"Madam, the weather is warm now, and the spring sun is just right. The slave maid ordered someone to arrange a soft couch in the yard, and the slave and maid helped you to bask in the sun. β
"Well, good!" Shangguan Lanling has also been stuffy in the house for the past three days, and she is also interested when she hears it.
"The sun shines on the body, warm and sleepy." Shangguan Lan Ling was exposed to the sun for a while, and he was a little sleepy. People who are pregnant are more likely to be sleepy.
The young lady helped her back to the house and let her rest for a while. She's going to the kitchen to explain today's lunch.
"Huh? What are you doing here? "It's just that as soon as she left the door of the main courtyard, she met Huan Niang.
"Hehe, Mama Qing, you are auspicious!" Huan Niang bent down and saluted.
"Say something!" Qing Mama doesn't like her mother, she is flattering, slippery, and cautious.
"Mama Qing, I wonder if the slave's suggestion is useful?" Huan Niang leaned closer and said with a wink.
"Presumptuous!" Mama Qing shouted, "What can you discuss about the master's affairs?" β
"Yes, yes...... The slave knows the mistake, the slave knows the mistake! Huan Niang quickly admitted her mistake, but she still stood where she was and didn't leave, "Mama forgives her sins, and the slave is just worried about her wife, and she has no intention of trespassing." β
"Hmph, forgive me for not daring!" The lady is in charge of the house, and the deed of sale of all the slaves is in her hands. Madame trusted herself and took them all into her own hands. The sons of a family like Teng Niang, starting from her seniors, have all been sold to Qianfu.
Huan Niang's husband is a gambler and owes a lot of debts, so she can only help big families to make money to pay off their debts. It was when I heard that she had good milk, and I felt sorry that she was beaten by her husband who was not a good person, so I bought her with a trace of kindness.
It happened that Mrs. was about to give birth at that time, and she couldn't find a suitable nurse, so she used her. Unexpectedly, she is a lively mind.
"Don't think I don't know what's going on in your heart. However, as long as you are willing to follow Madame steadfastly and take good care of the eldest lady in the future, it doesn't hurt for me to satisfy you with your little care. β
When Huan Niang heard this, her eyes flickered, and she nodded hurriedly: "Thank you Mama Qing, thank you Mama Qing, you are really a noble person in the life of a slave!" β
Mama Qing stopped her words: "In the future, remember your duty and learn more from Fuji Niang, otherwise, even if I help you again, you will be ruined by yourself sooner or later." β
When Huan Niang heard this, she quickly retreated and kowtowed: "Yes, yes, yes!" The slave and the maid obeyed. β
At this time, Qian Qi walked over, and when he saw this scene, he couldn't help but glance at it: "Mama Qing, but this person is disobedient?" Madame is mercy, if you can't sell it! Look who dares to ask for the people who are expelled from Qianfu! β
"Mr. Qian is wronged! The slave and maid did not ......" Huan Niang hurriedly defended, in these years, the slave was sold by the master's family to go to the official office for the record, which is equivalent to going to the government for the black household. If something is found out one day, it will be dealt with with by heavy punishment.
"Manager Qian is polite!" Mama Qing was still respectful to him, after all, she was the master's right-hand man, "I just gave a few words, but it was not as serious as expulsion from the mansion." β
"Hehe, Mama Qing is also as charitable as Madame." After Qian Qi finished speaking, he glared at Huan Niang, "Don't go down and learn a little more, I don't have anything to see!" β
"Yes, yes, yes!" Huan Niang hurriedly got up, bowed indiscriminately and retreated.
