Fengxian was isolated, she had thought that Song Shaohuai would come back soon, and she would drive out the princess at that time, but day after day, more than a month passed, and Song Shaohuai didn't even show a shadow. In such waiting and suffering, Feng Xian almost doubted that Song Shaohuai knew what happened to her today, and even ......, she didn't dare to think about it. Hope gradually annihilated, her mind became more and more depressed, even if she was forced to eat and drink every day, her body was broken day by day, and she only looked like a huge belly.

Mrs. Wang was ordered to go to her mother and stay with her son, and she was afraid that the skinny phoenix would not last until full-term, so she forcibly fed her like a livestock! If it weren't for Du Mei's occasional visit to Fengxian today, I'm afraid he would only be able to see a wisp of grievances in the loess one day!

"You help Sister Fengxian change this wet clothes, and pack up your things by the way." Du Mei couldn't bear to look at Fengxian's desperate and miserable expression, she turned her head and ordered Mrs. Zhang and Xiaolian.

"Take me away, I'll be soon." Feng Xian was helped to the inner room, and turned back to Du Mei and said.

"Well, I'll be waiting for you right here." Du Mei bit her lip and suppressed the tears that were about to well.

"Do you want to come with us?" Du Mei walked out of the house and said to Mai Dong and Liu Gengsheng.

"I followed the master when I was a child, and now I have been promoted to be the housekeeper in this house, and now there is such a thing, there must be an explanation, the master is back, and he will be punished, and I have no complaints, but if we run away, I am only afraid that I will not be able to argue!" Mai Dong shook his head and said.

"I won't leave, my old lady is serving Madame, where Madame goes, where she goes, I have to stay and guard the Song Mansion, if the thieves dare to come back, I will desperately drag them down, and I must not let the traitors succeed and hurt Madame and the little master!" Liu Gengsheng straightened his waist and said in a muffled voice.

"It's better for you to stay, you are in prison for those people, find a doctor to show them, don't let them die in vain. Song Gongzi should come back in a few days, and he will be handed over to him for careful examination at that time. Du Mei guessed that Song Shaohuai must have followed Chu Lin out to suppress bandits and provide disaster relief, and he returned triumphantly in the past few days, when he accompanied the elders in the Zhongshu Ling Mansion, but he would definitely come in a few days, not for Fengxian, but for the child in her belly.

"Rest assured, we know what's at stake." Mai Dong nodded solemnly.

"Plum!" Feng Xian changed her clothes, and when she saw that Du Mei was missing in the hall, she immediately called out in horror.

"I'm here." Du Mei waved at Mai Dong and Liu Gengsheng, changed his smiling face and turned to enter the house.

"Let's go." Feng Xian stretched out her cold and thin hand to grasp Du Mei.

She had changed into ordinary clothes, and there was only a hairpin on her head, and she was extremely thin, except for the bulging belly to support her clothes, everything else was empty, as if the whole set of bones could not support these layers of clothing.

Xiaolian carried a small burden on her shoulders and supported her by her side. Mrs. Zhang followed behind, carrying a big one, thinking it was a change of clothes for the three of them.

"Okay, let's go." Dumel took her hand and walked out of the house, walking in the warm early winter sun.

The stone was waiting at the steps, and Du Mei sent the phoenix to the carriage and said goodbye to Mai Dongliu.

Their delay was an hour earlier, Du Mei lifted the curtain to look at the sun, it was almost past the meal, and called the stone to pay attention along the way, but only to see a small noodle restaurant diagonally opposite the Bandung Money Village still open to welcome customers.

"Sister Fengxian, you can order some food in the noodle restaurant, and I will come to you when I get the money from the money bank." Du Mei said softly.

"Let me follow you, I don't have an appetite and don't want to eat." Feng Xian pitifully tugged at Du Mei's sleeve.

"I'll be fast, you eat a little bit, look at you are so thin that you are out of shape, and it is not good for the child." Du Mei was kind enough to soothe.

"That'...... Then I'll order you a bowl for each of you. Feng Xian bit her pale lip and said.

"Okay, the noodles are ready, I'll come." While speaking, the noodle shop arrived, and Du Mei asked the three of them to get out of the car and watched them enter the noodle shop.

The stone drove the carriage into a secluded alley beside it, and Du May walked into a grocery store, and came out a moment with two more noodle pockets and a scale.

"The widow told us to wait!" When the shopkeeper of the money village saw Du Mei and Shi coming in, he greeted him with a smile.

"I'm sorry, something has been delayed, but the copper coins have been exchanged?" Du Mei asked straight to the point.

"It's been changed early, just waiting for the widows to count them one by one." The shopkeeper beckoned to the man in the high cabinet.

The two men struggled to carry out a basket filled with a hill of copper coins.

"So much! How long is that? Stone was secretly surprised.

"Have you counted them all?" Du Mei picked up a pile of money and asked.

"That's it, the three of us counted for more than half an hour." The shopkeeper nodded.

"I don't have that amount of time, so I'll use the scale." Du Mei took out the newly bought scale, hooked up a hanging of money, dialed the string on the scale, and reported the weight in his mouth, "Seven taels and four dollars." ”

"I'll do it." The stone stepped forward and took the scale from Du May's hand.

"Since you're here, weigh more." Du Mei took ten hangings of money and put them in the weighing pan.

"Seven pounds, four taels and one dollar." The stone is quoted.

"Alright." Du Mei opened his newly bought noodle pocket and took the ten hanging coins inside.

In this way, the two of them quickly passed all the five hundred hanging coins through the scales, and the amount was more or less, but the difference was only one and a half coins, because the copper coins were new and old, and this error was nothing.

The five hundred hanging coins are divided into two pockets, and the stones tie the two bags ~ staggered and fastened, and easily put them on the shoulders.

"Shopkeeper, bookkeeping." Du Mei clapped her hands, took out the deposit slip and handed it to the middle-aged man next to her who had been staring at her dumbfounded.

"Ah, ah, good, good." The shopkeeper came back to his senses, hurriedly took the deposit receipt, and sent it to the high cabinet.

Where did this high roller come from, use the scale to withdraw money! The shopkeeper still saw him for the first time in middle age, and he really believed that the 16,000 taels of silver really belonged to the girl in front of him.

"Walk slowly, come back next time." The shopkeeper respectfully returned the deposit slips to Du Mei with both hands, and sent them out the door, waving flatteringly.

Du Mei pinched the scales, the stone carried the money, and the two entered the noodle restaurant diagonally opposite, and the three of them had just eaten the noodles.

"You ......" Feng Xian wanted to ask, but she was afraid that others would hear and cause trouble, so she swallowed the next words.

"Boss, please serve the other two bowls of noodles together." Mrs. Zhang turned her head and shouted into the kitchen.

Soon the noodles were eaten, Du Mei paid the bill, and the five of them got back into the carriage. didn't go far, Feng Xian suddenly gagged, Du Mei hurriedly shouted to stop the carriage, Feng Xian held on to the small tree on the side of the road, turned over the river and vomited, not only vomited all the noodles he had just eaten, but also spit out a lot of viscous sour water.

"How does it feel?" Fengxian burst into tears, and Du Mei asked distressedly while helping her wipe it.

"Much better." The impatiens smiled weakly at her.

"You have dysphasia, your spleen and stomach are not in harmony, and you are unable to move!" Du Mei helped her to sit on a big rock by the side of the road and gave her a pulse.

"Does this hurt my child?" Fengxian asked, stroking her stomach.

"If the mother is damaged, how can the child be good? Although your illness was caused by that mother-in-law, you should also cherish yourself and not accumulate depression in your chest. If you go on a business trip, who will take care of your children? "Du Mei is enlightening step by step. She knows that dysphasia is not just a lack of appetite, but a knot that cannot be untied.

"Meizi, you help me!" Fengxian only has a child at the moment to make her live.

"I'll take you back to Dujiagou, I will definitely do my best to help you, and you have to think about it yourself." Du Mei saw that her face was not as pale as just now, and comforted.

"Hmm." Feng Xian replied in a low voice.

Along the way, the stone cautiously drove the car, stopped and stopped, and did not arrive at Dujiagou until the evening.

"You...... How did you get this?! Xu Shi was startled when he saw the appearance of the phoenix.

But I haven't seen her for more than a month, how did the originally plump woman lose weight to skin and bones?

"Mother, Sister Fengxian, they will live in our house for a few days temporarily, and I will recuperate for her." I couldn't tell for a while, so Du Mei had to say it briefly.

"Okay, the family is more lively." When Xu heard this, he knew that there was a hidden secret, so he stopped asking.

The stone carried the two bags of copper coins in, and everyone shouted around the phoenix fairy to ask for warmth, but they didn't care, Du Mei pulled out and led the stone to put the money in the hidden mezzanine of the closet.

The pumpkin porridge boiled at night, the newly steamed white flour steamed buns, and the salted duck eggs were boiled, as well as the fried hot and sour cabbage, and the cold carrot shreds. Xu is what Du Mei said worked, or when she arrived at Du Jiagou, her heart was settled, and Feng Xian didn't vomit again.

In the evening, Du Mei packed up the bed in the other room to the west to prepare for the phoenix, and the quilt and bedding were all brand new.

"Meizi, can I sleep with you?" The phoenix sat next to the table and whispered.

"It's okay with me, it's just that you have a big belly, and it's more comfortable to sleep alone." Du Mei stopped what he was doing to look at her.

"I know you're busy during the day, and I just want to talk to you." The phoenix hung down her neck, and the light was dim, pitiful.

"Okay." Du Mei couldn't bear to refuse.

After washing, the two lay on the bed, Fengxian intermittently told Du Mei what had happened in the past month or so, and when she talked about Song Shaohuai, she couldn't hold back for a while and cried choked.

"Sister don't cry, although Song Gongzi looks cynical, he is not a bad person, he must be busy with official business, it is difficult to get out, so he has taken advantage of the loopholes for others, if you don't believe him, it doesn't make him sad." Du Mei comforted and comforted softly.

"All I know is that the people in Nafu look down on my origin, and they are afraid that I will defile their lintels, but if I am an innocent woman, they will not harm me like this." Feng Xian said as she spoke, rolling down her tears.

"It's not your fault! Why bother with yourself. Du Mei grabbed her hand and shook it.

"If I didn't conceive this child, I would still be able to live happily outside with my grandfather for a few years, but this child is expensive, the eldest grandson of the long house, they can't harm me this time, I don't know what tricks there are in the future, in the future, I'm afraid it will be difficult to see you." Fengxian also knew that sadness was not good for children, so she wiped her tears and said quietly.

"You're just having a hard time now, when the child falls to the ground, you are so smart, and you have a child to rely on, there will be a way to deal with it." Although Du Mei persuaded her, she thought of the gap between herself and Chu Lin, and it was inevitable that she would become sour.

The two chattered and talked a lot, the night was as cold as water, the shadows of the trees were swaying, the phoenix was depressed in her heart, and soon fell asleep, Du Mei stared at the moonlight leaking in from the window for a while, extremely tired, and fell asleep.
