The Guogong Mansion passed quietly for a few days, and in the following month, Zheng Guogong was a little more leisurely, recuperating at home, and occasionally meeting with the regent and others, but he was more proud than before.

Lu Shi still needs to go to the temple to kneel and pray, even if he can go home every day, he still has back pain, even the iron beaten people have no energy to take care of things anymore, so most of the things in this house are handed over to Zheng Yanru.

During this period of time, Zheng Yanru was still in charge of the house, and she didn't make any trouble with the people below.

Although Wu Rouxiang has a lot of complaints, she will not try to seize power at the moment, if something goes wrong, it will be a matter of giving people a handle, which can be described as stupid to the extreme.

No matter how difficult it is to live in this mansion, when you are not able to do so, you still have to live under the protection of the Guogong Mansion after all.

Zheng Lingyi knows this very well, and he will neither be arrogant nor arrogant.

The Lu family arrives home at the beginning of the day every day, Zheng Yanru has no time to serve in front of him, although Wu Rouxiang often goes to talk with her, but she can't let go of her body, which leaves a chance for the concubine.

Zheng Yingying invited herself to serve the Lu family, although Zheng Lingyi also followed, but she was secretly excluded by Zheng Yingying, and she couldn't even get close to the Lu family.

Zheng Lingyi is really ...... I'm so happy.

Today is the concubine who has become the Queen Mother of the West to take the lead in pomp, the Lu family has always had a good relationship with her, and today is to give enough face, the number of etiquette is very full, and now it is also very lacking, and a few people are dismissed early.

Wu Rouxiang returned to Qinghui Pavilion, Zheng Lingyi returned to Xiyuan, there were always a few steps along the way, she saw that Wu Rouxiang seemed to be walking at her own pace intentionally or unintentionally, so she knew that she had something to command, so she had to follow closely.

Wu Rouxiang glanced at her and said, "It's quite familiar." ”

Zheng Lingyi didn't care about her yin and yang weirdness, and said calmly: "What's the matter with my sister-in-law?" ”

Wu Rouxiang hadn't spoken yet, but inexplicably waved a handkerchief at the side of her mouth, as if she had said something bad and wanted to get rid of her bad luck.

Seeing this, Cui Weaving said for her: "Aunt Ding is pregnant." ”

'What did her aunt say to me if she was pregnant?' Don't you want me to think about it......

Zheng Lingyi's breath stagnated, but he quickly forced himself to relax and said calmly: "The fifth brother's cautious temperament must have been conceived before the national funeral, right?" ”

"Do you still have to say that? If there is one during the national mourning, I still need to talk nonsense with you? There are so many people who want to get ahead of me! Wu Rouxiang said angrily.

"What is that sister-in-law worried about?" Zheng Lingyi watched the tips of his shoes move with his footsteps, looming under his skirt, and said softly.

"You don't pretend to give me garlic, you know my thoughts, and I know your temperament." Wu Rouxiang is not a person who likes to play sharp, and always tears up the words dryly.

As Wu Rouxiang spoke, she suddenly felt empty around her.

She turned around and looked, only to see Zheng Lingyi stopped, looking around, as if she was afraid that someone would eavesdrop, and only stepped forward after making sure that no one was there.

"My sister-in-law married a man with a temperament like my fifth brother, and the current situation is actually not so difficult to solve." Zheng Lingyi's eyes met Wu Rouxiang's eyes, and they seemed to be very sincere.

"Oh? How so? Wu Rouxiang hugged her arms in front of her chest, she wanted to hear what Zheng Lingyi would say.

"Aunt Ruoding gave birth to a daughter, and she didn't bother to pay attention to her sister-in-law if she wanted to come. If it's a boy......

"What if it's a boy? According to what you said earlier, then I can also learn from my mother-in-law's ruthlessness to prevent future troubles. ”

Wu Rouxiang really didn't care about Zheng Lingyi's feelings when she spoke, knowing that this kind of thing would make Zheng Lingyi feel very sad to hear, but she still said it deliberately, and stared at Zheng Lingyi's expression, as if she wanted to see her gaffe.

Unexpectedly, Zheng Lingyi just shook his head calmly, didn't even twitch the tip of his eyebrows, and said softly: "Although the fifth brother has no concubines to compete with him, he can be regarded as benefiting from it." But now that he is a father, he is a different belly. Although he grew up under his wife, he has been exposed to it over the years, and he has known that there is such a thing of the housewife losing the concubine in the back house. Sister-in-law, if you follow Madame's example, do you think the fifth brother may not be aware of it? If he had noticed, he would have been furious. ”

This is true, the news of Ding Rujiao's pregnancy was told to Wu Rouxiang by Zheng Rongan, although he did not say it explicitly, he actually personally ordered many trivial matters, like a little wary.

After all, the Wu family is not as good as the Guogong Mansion, and Wu Rouxiang does not have a capable brother to support her.

Zheng Lingyi didn't say what it meant.

But in an instant, Wu Rouxiang saw a trace of sarcasm in her eyes, but after a closer look, she disappeared without a trace, and Wu Rouxiang suspected that she was a snake in her cup.

Zheng Lingyi's words were not false, but they were very reasonable, even Cui Zhi glanced at Wu Rouxiang, signaling her to listen to what Zheng Lingyi said.

Wu Rouxiang let out a sigh of relief, her arms hung down weakly, and said, "Then what do you say?" ”

Zheng Lingyi had already made up her mind in her heart, but she deliberately pretended to be thinking, so she hung Wu Rouxiang's appetite, and after a while, she said: "The fifth brother has always valued learning, Aunt Ding is from a humble background and is illiterate, and she is already lacking in this layer." The sister-in-law secretly added a handful of firewood and told her to show her cowardice and embarrassment in front of her fifth brother. So in the heart of the fifth brother, although she can give birth to a child for herself, she is by no means suitable for raising a child. The child is returned to your sister-in-law, you can raise it as you want, and I'm afraid that you can't compare to her aunt? ”

Wu Rouxiang nodded again and again when she heard this, and she couldn't wait to take the note, but she suddenly looked embarrassed, and said: "Aunt Ding is the mother-in-law's person, in case, in case the mother-in-law wants to raise her child, how can it be good to take the child?" ”

She is quite a brain, and she knows that the real power is Lu's. ’

Zheng Lingyi sneered lightly in his heart, a light smile tugged on his lips, and said to Wu Rouxiang: "Sister-in-law and Fifth Brother are husband and wife, so what do you think of Mrs. in the heart of Fifth Brother?" ”

Wu Rouxiang frowned and quickly let go, and said while recalling: "Although Rong An didn't say it, I think he seems to dislike his mother-in-law a little. ”

Zheng Lingyi gave her a look and motioned for her to continue.

If it weren't for Zheng Lingyi asking, Wu Rouxiang hadn't actually thought about this layer in detail, she gathered up the flashing fragments in her heart, and said intermittently: "Didn't he study in the Lin Mansion Academy before?" I remember that he once praised Mrs. Lin in the Lin Mansion in front of me, as well as her daughter-in-law Chen, saying that the Lin Mansion has a good family style, and the women are all good at running the family, with big hills and ravines in their chests, and they are not confined to small sections, and they can help their husbands or something. ”

When Zheng Rong'an said this, Wu Rouxiang thought that he was implying that his family background was not obvious, and he was faintly angry, but now that he thinks about his tone at that time, it seems to have another meaning.

"Sister-in-law can now understand the fifth brother's extraneous voice?" Zheng Lingyi raised his eyebrows and said.

Wu Rouxiang pondered for a while, and said uncertainly: "Does he think his mother-in-law is not generous enough?" ”

Zheng Lingyi followed her words and said: "I think my sister-in-law can leak this meaning in front of my brother intentionally or unintentionally. Mother-in-law has such a temperament, it doesn't matter if she raises a girl, if she raises a boy, I'm afraid that I will raise a boy stingy. ”

Wu Rouxiang felt that it was feasible when she heard it, and couldn't help rubbing her palms, as if it had already been done, and she was proud like a fly that only fell in sugar oil.

She left easily, leaving Zheng Lingyi standing in place, seeing her figure disappear, Zheng Lingyi closed her eyes, exhaled a long breath of turbidity, and repeatedly spit it out several times, in exchange for the calm in her chest and the clarity in her eyes.

For Ding Rujiao, she can only protect this.

There was silence under the corridor, only a little maid carrying a small bamboo basket on her back, cleaning up the grass and trees more than ten zhang away from Zheng Lingyi.

The little maid looked very attentive to her work, and she didn't pay much attention to Zheng Lingyi. Zheng Lingyi glanced at her again, and then walked towards Xiyuan.

After Zheng Lingyi left, the little maid was still picking up stumps along the stone road, and suddenly felt a figure flashing by her side, she was startled, and when she looked up, she found that it was Zheng Guogong, and she was startled again, and hurriedly said: "Grandpa Guo Wan'an." ”

Zheng Guogong glanced at her, the little maid hadn't even seen the Lu family a few times, let alone Zheng Guogong, so she didn't dare to look at him tremblingly, and she didn't see the complicated look in his eyes.

Zheng Guogong withdrew his slave entourage and walked confidently alone.

He was finally able to rest now, and the thought that he had gotten on the right boat made him both proud and a little afraid.

As far as the regent Shen Baiyan is concerned, although he has the affection to be a teacher, he can't help but feel a little sad when he sees the cold methods that Shen Baiyan has used recently.

Suddenly, there was a very blooming rose on the side of this corridor, the petals were either red or pink, and when I saw such a beautiful scene, my heart was a little relieved, and I stopped to watch.

Then I heard the conversation between Wu Rouxiang and Zheng Lingyi, although Zheng Lingyi was cautious and looked around, but Zheng Guogong's position was really delicate, Zheng Lingyi stood under the corridor and looked at it, and his eyes made the rose block tightly, and he couldn't find Zheng Guogong.

Zheng Guogong didn't expect that this little girl, who had always been ignored by him, didn't know when she would develop such a superb ability to perceive people's hearts.

And being ridiculed in front of others is neither humble nor arrogant, and it seems to be casual when speaking, but it tempts people into traps everywhere.

I'm afraid that Wu Rouxiang still thinks that the method of raising her concubine under her knees was proposed by Zheng Lingyi, but she figured it out by herself, right?

Zheng Guogong sighed with some regret, and said in his heart, "It would be good if Fifteen was a boy, and this scheming ability will definitely be able to make a difference." ’

But he thought about it, if Zheng Lingyi was a boy, he was afraid that he would die before he landed, how could he live to such an age? Even his only concubine is now relying on the protection of the county lord to survive.

Thinking of this, and thinking of the conversation between his daughter and daughter-in-law Fang Cai, Zheng Guogong frowned, and his disgust for the Lu family was even more significant.

The little maid who picked up the stumps saw that Zheng Guogong was far away, and her heart was a little relaxed just now, and when she saw Zheng Guogong coming back, she quickly knelt down and saluted again, and when she saw him going in the direction of Xiyuan, she got up and tilted her head in confusion.
