Chapter 26: Don't let anyone else come close
Zhen Bei's courtyard is divided into two courtyards, and the inner courtyard where Zhen Bei lives is not planted with flowers and plants, only a black bamboo forest.
Except for the peony, which rested in the outer chamber of the master, the dwellings of the other subordinates were in the outer court.
The second lady has ordered that except for the son's personal maid, no one else is allowed to break into the inner courtyard without permission, and the violators will be beaten to death with sticks!
"Let's talk about it!" Closing the doors and windows, Zhen Bei looked at the peony road fixedly.
"When the slave came to the son, she heard that the son was taken care of by the nurse, and later, the nurse fell ill for some reason and died suddenly! The lady sent the slave and maid over to take care of the son! Peony said.
Zhenbei tried to find the shadow of the nurse in her mind, the time was too long, her voice and appearance had long been blurred, but she vaguely remembered that she was a very neat and kind person, and she was very thoughtful and careful to treat this little master, excellent!
A young and sturdy woman suddenly fell ill and died violently? This person died too strangely, I'm afraid there should be some famous people in it!
Zhenbei sat down at the table, bowed slightly, and motioned for her to continue.
"Except for the second lady, Mother Wu and the slave maid, no one else in the house should know about this! It's just that the slave maid once heard the lady say it by chance, and the cousin lady over there also knew. It is said that this idea was originally conceived by the old lady, and at that time, the uncle had not yet made a career, and the old lady came to the house to take care of the pregnant second lady! As for whether there are other insiders in addition, the slave and maid are not clear! ”
After Peony finished speaking, she cautiously raised her eyes to look at her master.
The candlelight shone on Zhenbei's emaciated cheeks, sometimes bright and sometimes dark, his slender fingers gently tapped the tabletop one by one, the expression on his face changed with the candlelight, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
Peony didn't dare to interrupt his thoughts, and stood quietly to one side.
After a long time, Zhen Bei muttered, "Who got the pills that Madame sent every month?" ”
Peony frowned at the slender willow eyebrows, thought about it vigorously, and then said, "This lady didn't say it." However, every once in a while, the old lady would send someone to bring some special products to the house. The slave maid guessed that these pills should be boiled by the old lady and then transferred to the second lady! ”
Hearing this, Zhen Bei hooked a sneer at the corner of her mouth, and said, "Now in your hand, do you still have the remaining pills?" ”
Childe's expression at the moment was too terrifying, and when Peony came into contact with his cold gaze, he couldn't help but shudder in his heart: "No, it's just gone, Madame should send a new one in the near future." ”
"Yay!" Zhen Bei rubbed the fine scars on his hands and sneered, "This pill is definitely not going to take it again!" As for the second lady, Peony, you should know how to do it, right? ”
He squinted his eyes and stared at the little maid with low eyebrows, and deliberately bit the three words "Ben Gongzi".
An invisible pressure came overwhelmingly, and Peony only felt that it became difficult to breathe, and Childe forced her to show her loyalty with her actions, she gritted her teeth and said firmly:
"Yes, Childe!"
Zhenbei nodded with satisfaction, got up and walked to the couch: "I'm tired!" Rest sooner! ”
"Yes." The pressure on Peony's body suddenly disappeared, and her body flickered, almost not standing firmly.
The candle flame was extinguished, and Zhenbei lay in the dark but did not feel sleepy, her eyes widened, looking at the curtain above her head.
This Lei clan is really bold, he actually deceived everyone in the Gu family, and raised a little concubine as a son!
Zhen Bei touched her flat chest with her hand, this body had taken an overdose of pills that reversed yin and yang, and it had already stopped the development that a woman should have.
Even the voice is not as soft and delicate as a woman, but has become low and hoarse!
It's just that I can hide it for a while, but I can't hide it for a lifetime, no matter how much he looks like a man on the surface, he is not a real man.
When you reach the age of talking about marriage, how can you hide it?
It's just ignorant and stupid!
Zhenbei thought to herself, slowly closing her eyes.
In the early morning of the next day, Zhen Bei had breakfast from the old lady and was called to her Tianxiang Garden by the second lady.
Zhen Bei walked into the wing room and found the second lady Lei Shi sitting on the Taishi chair with a gloomy face, and a somewhat familiar iron box was placed on the wooden table next to her.
Peony and Wu Ma held their breath and stood on either side of her, and she roughly guessed what had just happened.
After a salute, she shouted "Mother".
"You still know I'm your mother!" Lei snorted.
According to the previous habit, whenever she put on her face, she would be frightened and cry forward, begging for mercy in every possible way.
However, today, Zhenbei just smiled slightly and stopped speaking.
There was no one to say for a while, and the room was rarely quiet.
Lei's attitude was held for a while, and finally he couldn't hold it back, and he squinted his eyes and said, "Okay, Belle!" Your illness is healed, and your brain is healed! It's only been a few days, and I'm going to fight against my mother, right? ”
Zhenbei still smiled and said, "Bei'er doesn't know why my mother thinks so." ”
"You don't know?" Lei slapped the table and screamed.
Seeing that Zhenbei was still calm, she took a deep breath and calmed down.
"This little hoof can just say, their son will no longer need this 'Yang Continuation Pill' in the future, if you hadn't instructed her to say this, where would she have the courage to say this!" She glanced at the peony fiercely, and her voice was suppressed to the limit.
It seems that this Lei clan is not without brains at all.
Zhen Bei put away the smile on her face and said to Peony and Wu's mother: "My son has some words, I need to tell my mother alone, you two go to the door to guard, don't let others get close to the house!" ”
Peony hurriedly responded and walked out of the room quickly.
Mother Wu looked at Lei Shi hesitantly, and saw that she did not object, so she followed and walked out.
"Belle, do you know that my mother is ...... for you?"
When Wu's mother stepped out of the room, she clearly heard the second lady's "soft talk" voice from inside.
As soon as she stepped forward, the door creaked shut with peony, and the sound inside was completely blocked on the other side of the door.
Mother Wu raised her eyes and glanced at the peony in surprise.
The latter pursed his lips and smiled at her: "Mother Wu, Gongzi has orders, no one is allowed to eavesdrop!" ”
Wu Ma stood expressionlessly on the other side of the door, occasionally drifting into the gaze of Peony, a little more probing.
I don't know how long it took, but the door was pushed open from the inside.
Zhenbei walked out with a calm expression, she walked a few steps, turned around and said, "Peony, follow me to buy some things outside the house!" ”
"Yes, Childe." Peony's eyes lit up, and she hurriedly followed.
Mother Wu hurriedly walked back to the wing.
The second lady was still sitting in the Taishi chair, but her eyes were staring directly at the ground, not knowing what she was thinking, and the iron box was still lying quietly on the wooden table.
"Ma'am?" Mother Wu shouted cautiously.
Lei Shi woke up like a dream, raised her head blankly, she slowly rolled her eyeballs, and her gaze fell on Wu's mother's face: "Wu's mother, did I do something wrong?" ”
In the afternoon, when Zhen Bei was directing the peonies and yams in the room, and when she was packing up the newly bought things, Guchang sent someone to deliver a message and asked her to hurry to the living room, saying that there was a guest at home and asked her to accompany her.
Zhenbei didn't dare to slack off, and after hurrying over, as soon as she stepped into the door, He Zhaoyuan's fox-like face came into view.
