Chapter 75: Instigation (3)
Xia Mengning blinked, held Ge's hand and said, "Auntie, what's going on?" ”
Ge Shi raised his head and said slowly: "I know some medical science myself, I found out a few days ago that I am pregnant, your father has been resting in my room for several days, it will definitely cause other people's bad intentions, I have long expected it, so I told Jade, if you can marry to Dingxi Palace, I will have no regrets, but the old lady will not be willing, so I have to use this trick to force the old man to want us." ”
After listening to this, Xia Mengning sighed, "Auntie, you shouldn't joke about your body, do you know if there is a case in today's matter, how can you let your daughter be good?" ”
Ge Shi shook his head, "My relationship with your father has long been over, the only implication is you, I can only be good if I look at you well, this child, I don't want ......"
Xia Mengning hurriedly reached out to cover Ge's mouth, "Auntie, you almost slipped in Rongfutang, but this child still survived so tenaciously, isn't it too ruthless for you to hate him like this now." ”
Ge Shi burst into tears, opened his mouth, but was speechless, and after a long time, he said: "I pierced the acupuncture points with silver needles and forced the child to slip off early, but I didn't expect this child to be so tenacious......" As he spoke, Ge stretched out his hand and touched his stomach.
Xia Mengning's eyes turned red, and finally, a tear slipped from the corner of her eye, she leaned over and hugged Ge's head, and said softly: "Auntie, how much this child depends on you, you don't want her anymore, otherwise, a lonely little life, are you ruthless enough to let him be killed by her mother before he came to this world?" ”
When Ge Shi heard this, her tears flowed even more fiercely, Xia Mengning covered her eyes with both hands, and cried softly.
She knows the bitterness in Ge's heart, Xia Chuanyuan used to treat her like that, and now how can she believe it again, Xia Mengning can't guess anything, but she can empathize, she used to be a person with children, so she knows that there is no mother in this world who doesn't love her children, and it is a precious blessing to live a new life and be able to accompany her biological mother again.
In Rongfu Hall, when Xie heard Chen's mother's words, his eyelids couldn't help jumping, "What, you said that the fourth aunt was actually pregnant?" ”
Mother Chen nodded, "It's true, old lady, the lord happily added moon silver to all the servants in the house, and he has to add vegetables tonight." ”
Xie Shi fiddled with the Buddha beads in his hand, and after a while, he opened his eyes and said, "Go and talk to the gardens, my old problem has been committed again, and my headache is tight, don't bother me if it's okay." ”
Mother Chen was puzzled, "Old lady, didn't you just say that you are sick?" ”
Xie Shi rolled his eyes, "Now that the limelight is in the limelight outside, I won't go out to join in the fun." ”
Chen's mother nodded, and when she saw Xie waving at her, she bowed down and prepared to retreat, and when she walked to the door, she heard Xie say: "Go to the treasury and get a few good mountain ginseng and send them to the fourth aunt." ”
Chen's mother looked up and saw that Xie was still leaning on the couch with her eyes closed, so she answered and walked out.
Xie Shi heard the sound of the door closing, opened his eyes leisurely, took out a key from the small wooden cabinet on the couch, and gently opened the bottom drawer, which contained a drawer full of letters, Xie Shi reached out and touched it, and couldn't help but sigh, "Sheng'er, my mother will definitely let you come back as soon as possible." ”
After some tossing, Ge Shi cried and cried and slowly fell asleep, Xia Mengning gently put her flat, and pulled the thin quilt over her to cover her, before retreating lightly.
As soon as she went out, Zhu Lian stepped forward from the side, Xia Mengning 'shhh ”
The two went back to the Bamboo Branch Garden, the sky had gradually darkened, Jiu'er had set up dinner, Xia Mengning looked at it, but she had no appetite, shook her head and said, "Withdraw, just go and make me a cup of osmanthus lotus root powder." ”
Zhu Lian looked at Xia Mengning's tired face, and couldn't bear it, but she still didn't say much, and quickly withdrew the meal, Xia Mengning was served by Jiu'er to bathe and change clothes, and moved a rattan chair to sit in the garden to dry her hair.
"Miss, the lotus root powder is here."
Zhu Lian came over with a tray, Xia Mengning took a sip and asked, "Jiu'er, what did you ask about today?" ”
Jiu'er was squatting on the side to wipe Xia Mengning's hair, and when she heard Xia Mengning's question, she hurriedly said: "The slave maid went to inquire, and the old lady went back to Rongfutang, only the girl Dai Yue next to the seventh aunt went there, saying that she was sending wild honey to the old lady." ”
Xia Mengning pursed her lips, "Wild honey? I think she's a drunkard, not in the bar. Saying that, Xia Mengning couldn't help but squint her eyes, "The Ning clan has become more and more rampant recently, I thought that if people don't offend me, I won't offend people, but now that we are retreating step by step, we are actually being bullied." ”
Zhu Lian stood aside holding the tray and said indignantly: "The same thing about the silk thread last time, then the Wang Sijia must have been instructed by the Ning family." ”
Jiu'er thought for a while and said, "Miss, the old lady seems to love Miss Fifth very much recently. ”
Xia Mengning glanced at Jiu'er approvingly, praised her for her delicate mind and meticulous observation, and nodded: "The Ning family is a villain, but he has a vicious mind but no city, so many things have happened in the mansion one after another recently, it seems that there are traces to follow, but in fact, many things cannot only be seen on the surface, the black hand in the secret is the most powerful." ”
Zhu Lian was simple by nature, tilted her head and didn't understand, and somehow got involved with Miss Five, Xia Mengning finished drinking the lotus root noodle soup, handed the empty cup to Zhu Lian, and said, "Go down quickly, it's time to rest after a busy day." ”
Zhu Lian retreated, but Jiu'er stepped forward and said softly: "Miss, the person in charge of the room came to spread the word today, saying that the white ginseng has been gone recently, and the mother-in-law who bought it no longer buys, so I came to ask if you want to continue to investigate?" ”
Xia Mengning shook her head, "No need, white ginseng is no longer bought, there are no more than two possibilities, one is that the person behind the use of it no longer needs it, so naturally it will not be bought, and the other is that this person already knows that we are investigating her, so he hides it." ”
Jiu'er nodded, "The slave and maid also think so, but in the past few days, the slave and maid have not made any big moves in this house, and it stands to reason that the effect of this white ginseng must have some signs to be found." ”
Xia Meng pondered for a while and said, "Now that the enemy is in the dark and I am in the light, we can't investigate any further, so simply let him go and see what tricks he can play?" ”
After saying this, Xia Mengning said again: "Don't take it lightly recently, be careful in everything, tell me before you do anything, you know?" ”
Jiu'er nodded, and Xia Mengning said, "Go and rest, it's been a day." ”
Jiu'er smiled: "The slave maid will go and make the bed for the young lady." ”
The next day, Xia Mengning got up early in the morning and hurried to Mei Fangyuan after having dinner.
As soon as he entered Mei Fangyuan, he heard the sound of talking from inside, Xia Mengning had a bottom in his heart, walked in, and sure enough, he saw Xia Chuanyuan eating with Ge's family.
"My daughter has seen her father." Xia Mengning blessed his body, Xia Chuanyuan saw it, and said with a smile: "You are in a hurry, have you used the meal, come and use a little together." ”
Xia Mengning looked at Xia Chuanyuan's face full of joy, and didn't know whether to be happy or sad, if she was happy, she was sad when she saw her mother yesterday, if she said it was sad, it was not better than her mother and daughter being trampled under in the past.
Xia Mengning controlled her mentality very well, and walked over with a happy face: "My daughter has used it a long time ago, I thought that my aunt was pregnant, and I wanted to come over to talk to my aunt, but I didn't expect that my father was earlier than my daughter." ”
Xia Chuanyuan drank the porridge and said with a smile: "I originally remembered it in my heart, so I got up earlier." As he spoke, he turned his head to look at Ge, and his eyes were full of affection, which made Ge blush.
Xia Mengning saw it, stood up and said, "It's best for my aunt to have my father by my side, my daughter should go back to the house and be a female celebrity." With a mischievous smile, Xia Mengning deliberately blinked at Ge Shi and Xia Chuanyuan.
Xia Chuanyuan was embarrassed for a moment, and then smiled: "You are a little clever, it's good to have you, I will have to deal with official business in a while, and I can't accompany your aunt." ”
The three of them sat together and talked, the girl came up and withdrew the meal, Xia Chuanyuan helped Ge Shi to the small couch by the window and sat down, looked at Xia Mengning and said, "I'm going to deal with your mother's matter today, what do you think?" ”
Ge's heart moved, pretending to be inadvertent, and looked up at Xia Mengning.
Xia Mengning sat down beside Ge Shi and said with a smile: "Daddy is really good at joking, how can children be allowed to command the affairs of adults?" ”
Xia Chuanyuan took a sip of the tea handed over by the maid, shook his head and said, "You are thirteen years old this year, and you will be in time for two years, and you are also smart on weekdays, why do you say that you are a child now?" ”
Xia Mengning blinked, "My daughter doesn't dare to talk nonsense, if someone else knows about it, it will tarnish her father's reputation." ”
Xia Chuanyuan saw his daughter's naughty appearance, and his father's love was overflowing, and he said dotingly: "It's okay, today is our family of three together, and there is nothing on the line, so let's talk casually." ”
Xia Mengning thought for a while and said with a smile: "In this way, my daughter will say it boldly." ”
Xia Chuanyuan took a moment and looked at her expectantly.
"Yesterday's incident should have sent my mother to Yingtianfu to wait for her to be delivered, but what did my mother say was that she was also the daughter of a famous family, and she was also the main room of her father, Yu Li, if my father was looking for selfishness, I am afraid that he would be criticized by his colleagues, and if his father sent his mother to Yingtianfu, I am afraid that he will end up with a reputation of being unkind."
Xia Chuanyuan nodded, "I think the same way, how can I not have both." ”
Xia Mengning shook her head, "My daughter has an idea. ”
Xia Chuanyuan hurriedly asked, "Oh? Let's hear it. ”
"Mother is guilty of a big crime in this matter, but the daughter also said before, the mother's identity is there, if it is not handled well, it will affect the reputation of the father, the daughter thinks, the eldest sister was sent to the nunnery, it must be lonely and desolate, now it is better to send the mother too, one is also a punishment, and the other will not be said that the father is not affectionate, at least the father spared her life, and again, the mother went to the nunnery, so that she can take care of the big sister."
After saying this, Xia Chuanyuan fell into deep thought, in fact, this idea, he didn't fight, maybe he just lacked an opportunity, now that his daughter put it forward like this, Xia Chuanyuan thought about it, nodded and said, "It seems that it has to be like this." ”
Xia Chuanyuan was anxious to deal with Fang's affairs, comforted Ge Shi for a few words and left in a hurry, Ge Shi saw Xia Chuanyuan leaving, turned his head and asked, "Why don't you cut the grass and eradicate the roots?" ”
Xia Mengning's face instantly turned cold, the well-behaved daughter just now disappeared, replaced by a ruthless face, "Auntie, wouldn't it be too fun to let go of their mother and son so easily, I want to crush them little by little, disintegrate their will, and let them kill each other and collapse to death." ”
The plain white fingers were clenched, reflecting the smooth pineapple wood table, which was a little eerie.
