Qingdi listened to Apricot say that Xiao Tao was shameless, and smiled noncommittally, she was about to leave here, when she suddenly heard someone speak behind her, and said, "Second Young Lady, I don't have to worry about where to put my face." ”

Qingdi heard this familiar voice, and turned to look at Xiao Tao, who was holding her stomach high, but she didn't follow the maid by her side, and she seemed to have a hard time walking.

"How can you be regarded as a maid in my yard, whether you are ashamed or not, it is naturally something I need to care about, otherwise others will say that I am not properly disciplined." Qingdi smiled coldly, looked at her and asked, "Why, after I leave, does the He family think that you are of little use, and he won't even send you a personal maid." ”

"Madame has always been very kind to me, but the child in my belly is only seven months old, and it has not reached the point where I can't walk alone." Xiao Tao said, glanced at Qingdi's belly again, and asked, "Today I heard that the second young lady is also pregnant, looking at her belly, it should only be seven or eight days old, right?" It's really not obvious at all. ”

Qingdi didn't answer her, just sneered and said, "You don't seem to be the master yet, right?" Yao Cen doesn't seem to have married you as a concubine, right? ”

Xiao Tao nodded with a smile: "Naturally, no, my child has not been born yet." ”

"So, you're just a maid now, what qualifications do you have to call yourself 'me' when you talk to me?" Qingdi looked at her coldly, and asked again: "And you and I both know very well, whose child is in your womb, do you really think that after you are born, you will have a good life in the Chu family?" ”

Xiao Tao shook her head and said with a wry smile: "I...... Did the slave maid have a good life, didn't she look at the second young lady? If the second young lady is kind-hearted and takes pity on the slaves, orphans and widows, I will naturally have a good life. If the second young lady wants to displace the slave and the mother and son, the slave and the maid will naturally not have a good life. ”

"Yo, are you going to threaten me with your heart? If I don't agree, you'll go around telling people that I'm so vicious that I can't even tolerate you orphans and widows, right? Qingdi smiled faintly and said: "You can't forget your roots, have you forgotten who saved you from the dire situation, and who protected you and the child in your womb for so long without dying!" ”

Xiao Tao was said by Qingdi, her eyes rolled, and the indifference and disrespect on her face just now were completely gone, she seemed to recall the days in the Prime Minister's Mansion, thinking about it, she actually knelt down slowly with her waist up, and said to Qingdi: "Second Young Lady, the slave maid said before that the child in her belly belonged to the second young master, and it was all the He family who persecuted the slave maid, please forgive the slave and maid!" ”

Qingdi looked down at her, didn't ask her to stand up, and asked her: "It seems that you have repentance, but let me ask you, since you want to repent, will you go to the master and say that the child in your belly is not Yaozen's, is it He who forced you?" ”

As soon as Xiao Tao heard this, her face was hesitant, and she was silent for a long time, and she didn't make a sound.

Qingdi smiled faintly and said, "It seems that you plan to continue to frame Yao Cen?" But I'm strange, once the child in your belly is born, you only need a drop of blood to recognize your relatives, and you will know that it is definitely not Yaocen's, what are you going to do when the time comes? You have deceived the Chu family for so long, you will probably be killed. ”

"This second young lady doesn't need to worry, the lady has already thought of an idea for the slave." Xiao Tao saw that Qingdi's tone didn't mean to embarrass her, so she said it directly.

Qingdi raised her eyebrows and asked, "Oh?" Madame has already given you an idea? Let's talk about what the idea is. ”

"This ......" Xiao Tao hesitated for a long time, and seemed reluctant to speak.

"Am I concerned about you too? Otherwise, in order to keep your mother and son alive, I may have to send you outside. Qingdi hooked the corners of his mouth and said, "I'm all for your good, and you can think about it yourself." ”

"No, no, it should be nine out of ten." As soon as Xiao Tao heard that Qingdi was going to send her away, she panicked, and hurriedly said: "Madame said, when the time comes, put a medicine into the bowl of my child's blood to confess his relatives, this medicine will make anyone's blood fuse, and there will be absolutely no problem." Second young lady, you are so kind, just allow the slave to stay by the second young master's side as a concubine, the slave and the maid promise that they will never rob the second young master with the second young grandmother, because what the slave and the maid want is just to spend the second half of their lives carefree, and the slave and maid promise to be honest and obedient, and it is completely okay to deal with the second young lady with the second young lady! ”

Qingdi smiled faintly, I heard that pregnant women will be pregnant stupid, it seems that Xiao Tao has become stupid, and she actually told her everything when she asked like this. However, she is not kind, nor is she so kind.

When Apricot heard this, she couldn't help it, snorted at her, and said disdainfully: "You are really shameless, the young lady saved your life, it is already very merciful, you still have to inch in, and you still want to be the second young master's concubine!" ”

Xiao Tao ignored her, only raised her head, and looked at Qingdi expectantly.

Qingdi is not a person whose sympathy is easy to overflow, she laughed at Xiao Tao twice, and said: "When I was in the Prime Minister's Mansion, I saved you, but after you arrived at the Chu family, you came with the He family to deal with me." The He family promised you the status of a concubine, and you took refuge in the He family, and the He family can be regarded as a favor to you, but now you have to deal with the He family with me, you are a person who knows how to repay the kindness, has to make inches, and never knows how to be satisfied, do you think I will sympathize with you again and help you again? How do I know when you have met someone more useful to you than I have one day, and you have betrayed me again like you betrayed Ho? ”

"No, no, no," Xiao Tao went up and hugged Qingdi's legs, looked up at her and said, "The slave maid has decided that the second young lady is the master in this life, and she will never betray again." ”

Qingdi looked at her with lowered eyes, if she hadn't seen that she still had a child in her belly, she would have kicked her away.

"Let's not talk about whether you will betray me, what I hate about you most is that you have to be my family's Yaocen's concubine." Qingdi bent down, took her hand away, and said, "I am very stingy, I am a complete jealous woman, I will never allow my husband to marry another woman, nor will I allow any woman to want to do anything to my husband, unless I die, do you understand?" ”

Xiao Tao looked at Qingdi in a daze, unable to say a word...... Qingdi turned her face and turned her face like a book, and she said to Yan Yuese just now that she would forgive her? Why is it suddenly changing again?

"But don't worry, I won't be ruthless and kick you out now, after all, the child in your womb is innocent." Qingdi patted the place on her skirt that was grabbed by Xiao Tao just now, and said, "You take care of the baby, and then talk about it after the child is born." ”

So what else to say? Qingdi has now made it clear that she will never give any woman a chance to share Chu Yaocen with her, and she now knows what method He will use to make this child Chu Yaocen's when the time comes, and what way can she go now?

Xiao Tao sat on the ground dejectedly, and Qingdi had already left with the apricots. She turned her head to look at Qingdi's departing figure, and suddenly thought of what Qingdi had just said in her mind: "Unless I'm dead."

Xiao Tao's eyes showed a resentful gaze, and after a long time, she actually laughed, and she said to herself: "Feng Qingdi, this is what you asked for." ”

*

Chu Chengguan and Chu Yao Cen Chang talked about the middle of the night, and the two separated. As soon as Chu Yaocen left Chu Chengguan's courtyard, he saw the shadow of the long shirt and jade standing in the sky, holding a paper fan, waiting for Chu Yaocen with a smile.

Chu Yaocen smiled slightly, stepped forward and said, "Come on, I'm back." ”

"Well, I heard about it during the day, but I thought that the second young master and the second young lady might have a lot of things to deal with, so I didn't go to look for you in the afternoon." Ying Konglai nodded, looking at Chu Yaocen with great satisfaction, he stretched out his hand, as if he wanted to touch Chu Yaocen's face, but in the end he put down his hand and said with a smile: "Second Young Master, your eyes have regained the shrewdness and wisdom of your childhood, and you are completely back, it's really good." ”

Chu Yaocen nodded and said, "Yes, you must have waited for a long time." ”

"Haha, I waited for a long, long time, and almost gave up, but fortunately I didn't." Ying Konglai was full of emotion in his heart, but when he came to his mouth, there was only one sentence to say, and he asked, "How is it, Nanzhong is not bad, right?" ”

Chu Yaocen nodded: "I saw your wife and children." ”

Ying Konglai was stunned, and then smiled: "Are they all okay?" I've been busy with the Chu family's business all these years, and I haven't gone back to see them, have I grown up without a trace? Counting, he should be about the same size as the finish kill, is there such a high finish kill? ”

Chu Yaocen nodded, there was no need to mention all the adventures in Nanzhong, and there was no need to let Ying Kong know about Mo Ling and Shadow Disappearing's quirks, he only said: "The child is very tall, almost like a finished killing, but he is very thin, he misses you very much." Your wife too. ”

"Hey, I miss them too...... "Shadow Sky said, couldn't help but raise his head, looked at the starry sky in the south, and said, "I think of my husband and father, who are not qualified." ”

"It's okay, it's too late to make up for it now." Chu Yaocen smiled faintly, grabbed Ying Konglai's shoulder, approached his face, and asked, "You think about it, let's mess with me, let's go to Nanzhong together, let's go to Nanzhong to open a road and do business between Li Guo and Nanban, how about it?" ”

With a smile on the corner of his mouth, Ying Konglai nodded and said, "This is what the master has always wanted to do, and the eldest young master has always wanted to do it." ”

"But none of them have the strength I have, and I even have the right time and place." Chu Yaocen said confidently: "This time I went to Nanzhong, I have already discussed with the merchants in Nanzhong, and they are willing to cooperate with me, just waiting for me to bring the money over." ”

Ying Konglai thought for a moment and asked, "Bring the Chu family's money, or the second young master's own money?" ”

"My own. It's time for me to separate from the Chu family and set up my own door, so that it will be convenient for me to act in the future. Chu Yaocen said, and asked him very seriously, "Come to the air, you follow me and do things for me, okay?" ”
