Yuan Twelve was cautious, he did this for Gu Yaolian, and did not reveal a trace of information to anyone.

Gu Yaolian was not afraid that Pei Yu would know, and she also knew that she couldn't hide it from her uncle.

She was just afraid that her uncle would find out the truth and complain about her father.

However, no one can stop her from finding the truth.

Yuan Twelve was busy with things outside, and Xiangming was not idle.

The embroidered spring days in the outer courtyard are not easy, and the fragrant tea secretly asks the rough mothers-in-law to make trouble for the embroidery spring.

Xiuchun has been in the Ji family for many years, where have you suffered all this? However, in a few days, she was tired and tired, and went to Mama He for help in private, but Mama He reprimanded her for being restless.

"Mama, don't you know, Aunt Niu asked me to wash my clothes, and I ...... it," Xiuchun cried as she said, "She still wants me to be a concubine for her eldest son." ”

Aunt Niu's eldest son is a cripple with an abscessed face, and it is said that he likes to beat people.

Aunt Niu is the housekeeper of the outer courtyard, and she and Aunt Ren's personal grandmother are cousins, and it is easy to bully her as a foreign maid.

"She's just a mother-in-law in the outer courtyard, she has never entered Aunt Ren's house in her life, and she can't get anything on the table, why do you care?" Mama He frowned, "She doesn't dare to do anything to you." ”

"Mama, but what should I do?" Xiuchun raised his hand, "I've been doing rough work in the outer courtyard, not only have my hands become rougher, but I still eat brown rice mixed with lard and salt bean sauce, if I continue like this, my body will be ruined." ”

Although Dayan is beautiful for women's plumpness, it does not mean that men like bloated and stout women.

Xiuchun knows that if she goes on like this, let alone let her uncle be fresh, she will be disgusted with herself like this.

If she loses her appearance, she will no longer be the uncle's concubine or roommate, and she can only be a rough maid for the rest of her life.

Where does Mama He care about her, because the meal given to her is what Ji's ordered. Mama He casually perfunctory a few words about Xiuchun, and then let Xiuchun go back to the outer courtyard.

Xiuchun didn't know that Mama He would no longer care about her life or death, and she wanted to see Xiuzhi again, but she didn't even meet the courtyard gate of Yongqing Pavilion, but was severely reprimanded by the maid in the inner courtyard.

Xiuchun didn't see Xiuzhi, but Xiuzhi, who had just come back from helping Gu Yaolian buy a book, saw Xiuchun.

However, in just half a month, Xiuchun's figure not only became heavy, but even the flower-like appearance also showed vicissitudes and fatigue.

The embroidered branches, like the embroidered spring, were bought back from Yangzhou by Mrs. Ji and raised by the grandmother in the house.

Xiuchun's appearance is more outstanding than her, she is good at playing the piano and writing lyrics, and her eyes are slender.

If it weren't for Ji's sudden return to Ji's house to make a big fuss, Mrs. Ji would think that she wouldn't be able to control Ji's. Xiuchun should have been sent to the Rongguo Mansion to enjoy happiness, how could it be like this?

Xiuzhi began to reflect on herself, whether she had been too comfortable lately.

She tried to get close to Pei Yu in private, but she didn't even know the door of Pei Yu's study, and she was almost cut down by Pei Yu's personal guards.

She was so frightened that she could only follow Wang Ruolan's path, but although Wang Ruolan was careless, Zhong's mother was vicious.

Mother Zhong privately warned her to settle down, otherwise she would be abolished.

Mother Zhong used to serve by Wang Ruolan's mother's side, and I heard that her skills are very good, and now people who are almost fifty still walk like flying.

Back then, there was a maid who showed her face in front of Pei Yu a few more times by giving Wang Ruolan vegetables, but she was crippled by Mother Zhong alive and thrown in the firewood room to die.

Xiuzhi held the food box in his hand tightly, only to feel cold.

It's too difficult to find the gap in the third room......

And even if you find it, what if you find it? Pei Yu can't let a woman get pregnant, if she has no children in her lower body, she has nothing to rely on.

Fortunately, Gu Yaolian, who she is serving now, is an ignorant and ignorant person, Gu Yaolian, like most women in the boudoir, is full of curiosity about love, but she does not dare to violate secular etiquette, so she can only find a little fun in the book.

Xiuzhi didn't know whether to be glad that her appearance was not outstanding, or whether she should be glad that Gu Yaolian liked to read books, so she had the opportunity to stay in Chang'an Courtyard.

As usual, Xiuzhi brought a new notebook back, and Gu Yaolian was very happy.

Gu Yaolian read it in one breath, and sighed, "If this Zhang Sheng knows that Liu Xian'er is a fox spirit, will he be as ruthless as Xu Xian?" ”

"Slave and maid will not." Xiuzhi said according to Gu Yaolian's preference, "Mr. Shi of Nanshan Town never writes about people who are affectionate. ”

Gu Yaolian thought for a while, "Yes." ”

"You put Mr. Nanshan's notebook in my winter clothes box, don't let people find out."

Xiuzhi listened to Gu Yaolian's instructions, and after getting the key from the reluctant Xiangming, she was ready to hide the notebook.

As a result, she found that there were still several delicate lockets hidden in Gu Yaolian's small warehouse.

Curiosity drove Xiuzhi to open it, and she glared in surprise as she saw the contents of the box.

At that time, Xiangming said to Gu Yaolian, "Girl, did you really let Xiuzhi see those prescriptions?" ”

That was the child-seeking prescription given by the Liu family to Wang Ruolan.

"If these recipes really work, how can the incense in the suburbs of the city become more and more prosperous year by year?" Gu Yaolian said, "Even if Xiuzhi is really pregnant, it doesn't matter. ”

If Xiuzhi is really pregnant, so that Xiuzhi can see the hope of life and the future, will Xiuzhi still obey the Ji family's words?

Gu Yaolian deliberately let Xiuzhi see Xiuchun's appearance, because he wanted Xiuzhi to understand that in this deep mansion, Xiuzhi had to save himself if he wanted to live.

In fact, there are only two ways to save yourself, one is to be loyal to Gu Yaolian and never give birth to two hearts, and you will get a smooth and ordinary life in the future.

The second is to rely on men to get glory and wealth.

Xiuzhi chose the second one without hesitation, wanting to use the child to trap the Pei family uncle before the color faded.

However, Xiuzhi didn't understand that if a woman pinned all her life on one man, what she would get was not necessarily hope, but might be despair.

Xiuzhi no longer rejects helping Gu Yaolian go to the big house to help Pei Xiao deliver wine, and in private, she relies on what she has learned to obey the little people around Pei Xiao.

Pei Xiao was not a decent gentleman in the first place, and with the deliberate intention of Xiuzhi, gossip between the two soon reached Ji's ears.

"!" Ji never thought that Xiuzhi would dare not listen to her own orders, and instead of hooking up with Pei Yu, she came to seduce her husband, "How dare she?" ”

"Madam, you're angry." Mama He has a headache, and Ji's temper has been getting bigger and bigger recently, "I heard Changming say that Uncle and Xiuzhi are actually nothing. ”

"Xiuzhi is here to help Sanfang deliver things."

Ji sneered, "Sanfang will send things to the uncle?" ”

"I heard that the uncle bumped into the cousin who bought the book, and this cousin was afraid of being scolded, so she would send something to the third master, and let the third master help her hide it." Mama He said, "In the past few days, the Liu family has sent a lot of good things over, including several jars of good aging, which are now in the uncle's room!" ”

"Uncle, don't you know that there must be something wrong with this Gu Yao's dedication and diligence?" Ji stood up anxiously, "I'm going to talk to the uncle." ”

"Madam, eldest lady......" Mama He hurriedly stopped Ji, "What do you say?" Do you say that Miss Biao did this to send the embroidered branches to the uncle? ”

"Madam, don't forget, you sent the embroidered branch to the third room. When the time comes, Miss Biao will say casually, Xiuzhi and Dafang have a better relationship, and she will completely block your words. ”

Moreover, Gu Yaolian can also sarcastically ridicule Ji's dirty and jealous people, so he is so filthy when he looks at the juniors and filial piety to the elders.

What kind of person is Pei Xiao? Mama He understands too.

Arrogant and obstinate.

The current Pei Xiao must be very happy to be coaxed by Gu Yaopian and Xiuzhi, if the Ji family quarrels with him at this time, maybe Pei Xiao will really accept the embroidery branch in a fit of anger.

It doesn't matter if you receive the embroidered branches.

But Mama He knew that if the Ji family would be so generous, how could the concubines around the uncle be so many years, except for Pei Jiao's biological mother, but there was no movement?
