"You're welcome, it's just ......" Duanmu stopped abruptly halfway through his words and looked not far behind the two.

Qingdi was very puzzled, and followed her gaze, only to see a flash of dark red around the corner. Qingdi didn't see who it was, but it was obvious that Duanmu saw it clearly, so he asked her, "Sister-in-law, who did you see?" ”

"A little fat girl, it seems to be a girl in your yard." Duanmu smiled, withdrew his gaze, and said to Qingdi, "Leave her alone." I just wanted to say, when you enter the Chu family, you must know the rules of the Chu family, like you did yesterday, you didn't go to your mother-in-law in the morning to say goodbye, and you came late for lunch at noon, which is definitely not okay. Mother Liu will teach you these things in the future, you have to study hard, Mother Liu is very strict. ”

Qingdi lowered her eyes, Mother Liu is from the He family, she knows it very well. Duanmu is her own daughter-in-law, and they all say that Mother Liu is strict, if she is not a daughter-in-law, she will not die to death?

"Okay, my family is really sleepy." Duanmu hugged Chu Lihuan, who had already begun to yawn, and said to Qingdi and Chu Yaocen: "Brother, brother and sister, I'll send Lihuan back to sleep first, and we'll chat when we're free later." ”

Qingdi nodded and smiled: "Anyway, thank you, sister-in-law." ”

Chu Yaocen didn't know why, but he also followed Qingdi and said, "Thank you, sister-in-law." ”

Duanmu shook his head with a light smile, and then left with Chu Lihuan in his arms. Halfway through walking, Chu Lihuan, who seemed to be about to fall asleep just now, suddenly woke up, and said to Duanmu with blazing eyes: "Mother, I don't like uncles and aunts, and I don't like aunts the most." ”

Duanmu showed a surprised look on his face, hurriedly put him down, squatted down and asked him, "Lihuan, who did you learn from, why are you still pretending to be sleepy and saying such things?" ”

Chu Lihuan pouted and said, "Grandma told me, grandma said that after my uncle marries my aunt, he will rob my father for property, so the things of our Chu family will not be my father's alone in the future, and in the future, it will not be mine." ”

Duanmu looked helpless, sighed and said: "Don't listen to your grandmother in the future, our Chu family's property should have your uncle's share, it's just a matter of more or less." And the things of the Chu family are not necessarily yours alone, maybe I will have a younger brother for you in the future? ”

Chu Lihuan twisted his short brows and said, "I don't want it." ”

"You!" Duanmu seemed to be very angry, stood up suddenly, looked down at him and said, "Don't run to your grandmother alone in the future, you know?" ”

Chu Lihuan was still a little reluctant, but seeing that his mother was really angry, he had no choice but not to speak.

After she returned to the room, she didn't expect Chu Linyuan to be there, Duanmu was surprised, and asked aloud: "Linyuan, why did you come back so early today, and the matter of the shop was dealt with so early?" ”

Chu Linyuan's cold aura was a little gentler towards his wife and children, and he raised his eyes to look at them and said, "I came back earlier today to settle the accounts. ”

Duanmu nodded, then gently pushed Chu Lihuan and said, "Lihuan, you go out to play, your father wants to settle accounts, don't bother him here." ”

Chu Lihuan nodded, then turned around and stepped out with his short legs.

Duanmu closed the door, walked to Chu Linyuan's side, and said to him worriedly: "Linyuan, it's really hard to leave Huan, not only will you deceive people, but you will also hate others, and you don't want me to give him a younger brother, so as not to divide his property...... Lihuan hasn't reached the age of three yet, and he has become like this, which is really worrying......"

Chu Linyuan listened, nodded expressionlessly, and said, "I can't let him have such thoughts, I will teach him a good lesson in the future." ”

"But that's not the crux of the matter," Duanmu frowned and said, "How could he say these things as a child?" It must have been taught to him by his mother-in-law. I don't want my mother-in-law to teach my Lihuan to be a selfish person, can I not let Lihuan go to my mother-in-law's yard alone in the future? ”

When Chu Linyuan heard this, he put down the account book in his hand, raised his eyes and looked at Duanmu Clan and said, "I heard that you have a good impression of Yao Cen's wife, do you think that you have a helper now and will deal with my mother with you?" ”

Duanmu was stunned for a moment, then he was incredulous, and asked Chu Linyuan sadly: "Linyuan, why do you think of me like this?" ”

"My mother is a little harsh, but everything she does is for my good, for my good is for your good, even if you don't accept her kindness, you can't be so prejudiced against her." Chu Linyuan was still expressionless, and said: "Besides, my mother likes Lihuan very much, if you don't let Lihuan see her in the future, how can she stand it?" Doesn't it mean that a scholarly woman like you pays the most attention to filial piety, why can't I see it in you at all? ”

Duanmu lowered his head, held back the tears that were almost flowing from his eyes, and said softly, "I knew I was wrong, and I won't say such things again in the future." ”

"Well, you go out." Chu Linyuan flipped through another page of the ledger and carefully checked the accounts on it, not noticing Duanmu's slightly trembling shoulders.

*

Chu Yaocen and Qingdi also went back to their yards, Qingdi remembered the dark red she saw just now, and heard Duanmu say that it was a fat girl, so she guessed that the person should be Xiao Tao. Yesterday, after seeing through Xiao Tao's true face, Qingdi planned to raise her in the Chu family first, and send her out after the child was born, which can be regarded as benevolence and righteousness. However, it seems that Xiao Tao himself does not intend to stay in the Chu family in peace.

Qingdi thought for a while, called Apricot over, and asked her, "Where does Xiao Tao live now?" ”

"The slave lives with the other girls in the yard, and Xiao Tao lives in the room next door to us." Kyoko replied honestly: "Originally, we had to live three people in each room, but now because she is pregnant, we let her do some of everything." She said she wanted to be alone, so we had the five of us living together. ”

"Does she live alone? It may not be convenient to be alone, she has a child in her belly, and if there is anything at night, everyone will take care of it. ”

"But ......" Apricot raised her eyes and looked at Qingdi, and then at Chu Yaocen, who was teasing snakes and foxes in the yard, and said, "Second Young Lady, when you didn't come over, there was a rumor in the house. ”

"What rumors?" Qingdi frowned and asked, seeing Apricot's tone, she knew that it was not a good rumor.

Apricot replied: "Although the little peach girl was sent by her wife, no one else knows, and her identity is not easy to tell the outside, so the people in the house speculate whether she is a concubine raised by the second young master outside." Later, I knew that Xiao Tao was pregnant, so I thought so. But later, the slave maid was sent by the second young master to the Prime Minister's Mansion to serve the lady, and the slave and maid didn't know what happened these days. But after coming back, these rumors are gone, presumably the old man confessed. ”

Qingdi thought for a while, and then asked, "When this rumor was spread, didn't Xiao Tao come out to say anything to clarify?" ”

Kyoko shook her head: "Then how can she clarify?" She wished that everyone in the house would think that the child in her belly belonged to the second young master, and the second young master was very arrogant and didn't understand these things, so she didn't go out of her way to clarify. And when Xiao Tao wanted to live in a room alone, she also said to us: 'Lest it be inconvenient for the second young master to find me in the future'. ”

Qingdi couldn't help but sneer twice, and said, "When I was in the Prime Minister's Mansion, I really saved a white-eyed wolf." ”

Xingzi understood what Qingdi meant, looked at Qingdi's eyes, and knew that Qingdi should deal with Xiao Tao later, so she took the initiative to ask: "Second young lady, do you want the slave to call the little peach girl over?" ”

"No need," Qingdi shook her head and said, "She didn't do anything out of the ordinary today, I suddenly dealt with her like this inhumane, and when she made a move, it wouldn't be too late for me to make another move." ”

Apricot answered, and stepped aside without speaking. Qingdi didn't think about what to do next, so she got up and flipped out the medical book she brought from the Prime Minister's Mansion and read it.

Looking at it, he suddenly heard Chu Yaocen screaming in horror outside, Qingdi didn't have time to react, so he threw down the book and hurriedly rushed out, grabbed Chu Yaocen and asked, "What's wrong Yaocen, were you bitten by a snake?" ”

Chu Yaocen shook his head, pointed to the little fox on the ground and said, "Look, Yan Xi ate that snake." ”

Qingdi breathed a sigh of relief, turned his head to look, and really saw that Yan Xi saw that the medicine snake bit off and ate it, and there were still blood stains on the ground, and only one head and tail of the emerald green snake were still on the ground.

"Yan Xi and Cuicui were having a good time just now, and suddenly Yan Xi bit Cuicui in half like crazy, and then swallowed it, it's too scary......" Chu Yaocen said, squatting down to look at Yan Xi, stretched out his finger and nodded at its head and asked, "You glutton, this is a gift for me!" ”

Yan Xi finished eating, raised his head and looked at Chu Yaocen inexplicably, his eyes were deep, as if he was going to suck him in.

Qingdi saw that the scene was a little infiltrating, so he hurriedly pulled Chu Yaocen and said: "Eat it, eat it, anyway, I don't like this shadow sky to give you a gift, you can go back to the room with me." ”

"Hmm." Although Chu Yaocen was a little reluctant on his face, he still got up and went back to the room with Qingdi. But Kyoko has been standing at the door watching such a scene, and seems to be frightened.

Qingdi saw that Apricot was like this, so he comforted her and said, "Don't be afraid, people also eat snakes, what is there to be afraid of." ”

"No, is there any sign that the slave is worried that the fox will eat the snake......" Apricot hesitated and asked Qingdi: "Young lady, why don't you go and ask the shadow housekeeper Ji Ji?" The slave and maid felt fearful in their hearts. ”

"Will the shadow come and see the good and the bad?"

Hearing that the shadow was coming, Chu Yao Cen Ke came to his senses, and hurriedly interjected: "Yes, yes, yes, the empty is amazing, and the empty can do anything." ”

Qingdi felt very angry when she saw Chu Yaocen blindly revering him like this, she snorted coldly, and said to Xingzi: "Then you go and call him, I want to see how this magic stick can break the good luck." ”
