Chapter 181: Shadows (3)

At noon, the sun was blazing.

Shuangxi hurriedly returned to the east chamber of Xiyuan with mung bean soup, his forehead was full of beads of sweat and said: "Miss, this is the mung bean soup cooked by the slave maid herself, you can taste it." ”

Meng Xiyue sat at the head of the bed, looking haggard, and glanced at her casually, "What I want is sour plum soup, why did you send mung bean soup?" ”

Shuangxi's face stiffened slightly, and he hurriedly said: "Miss, your body can't drink ice, it's better to use some mung bean soup, which is mild and relieves the heat." ”

Meng Xiyue frowned and scolded lightly: "You don't prevaricate me with nice things." Is it that the sluts in the kitchen deliberately gave you a look on the face again? ”

Shuangxi shook his head again and again: "No, no, how dare they?" ”

"Humph! Now that I have become a joke of the Hou Mansion, what else would they not dare? Not to mention them, even you, must want to leave me as soon as possible, and then look for some higher branches? ”

Shuangxi looked shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly bent his knees: "The slave doesn't have it, miss, don't be careful." ”

Meng Xiyue's face was as white as paper, and she couldn't see any blood, helplessly, it was hot outside at this time, and the room was stuffy, so hot that a layer of fine sweat appeared on her body.

Seeing this, Shuangxi hurriedly took a wet towel to wipe her face and neck, and coaxed softly: "Miss, it's going to be hot, don't be angry, lest you accumulate anger and get sick." ”

Meng Xiyue said with a different face: "It's better to be sick, just put this body on, so that I don't have to live in the world like this." ”

Shuangxi saw her say such suicidal words, and couldn't help but kneel down again: "Miss, you can't say this." You are now the concubine of the second son, the lady of the Hou Mansion, if you have three long and two short, what can the slave do? ”

In fact, after Meng Xiyue had a miscarriage, she should have left the Hou Mansion, but Xu was ashamed, she couldn't bear to leave Meng Xiyue alone, so she still stayed by her side to serve, thinking that when she survived the first month, it would not be too late for her to leave.

Meng Xiyue saw that her eyes were slightly red, and smiled lightly: "Now that the mansion wants me to live, is there anyone else besides you?" ”

Shuangxi lowered his head and wiped the corners of his eyes, carefully poured a small bowl of mung bean soup and handed it over: "Miss, don't say that, although Miss has encountered a sad thing now, there are many people in and outside the house who miss you." Not to mention that you are the heart of the second son, the old lady of the Meng Mansion, and none of the Lan masters in the palace do not feel sorry for you. Today, the concierge sent a lot of supplements, all of which were sent by the Meng family to make up for the girl's body. ”

Meng Xiyue took a sip of the tepid mung bean soup, and stopped saying a word. After a while, Fang Cai muttered: "Double happiness, the child in my belly is not strange, and the doctor clearly said that my fetal gas is stable......"

Meng Xiyue was careful with the child in her womb, and she usually didn't even dare to take one more step, but she just had a stomach upset, and she coughed a few times, and the child was gone. Thinking of this, her heart was uncomfortable and panicked, and she was aggrieved.

Shuangxi's hand shook slightly. "Miss, the slave knows that you are sad and sad, but you are indeed cold, so you ...... Miss, you are still young, and there will be opportunities in the future. The second son loves you so much, you will have children sooner or later. ”

Meng Xiyue didn't notice her subtle movements, and lowered her eyes to look at her flat lower abdomen, with some slight changes in her eyes.

Recently, the second son has only come to see her once, and he sat down and left. The child is gone, and his attitude towards her has faded, which makes Meng Xiyue very uneasy.

She leaned on the head of the bed alone, slightly dazed.

Shuangxi saw that she only drank a few sips of mung bean soup and didn't need it, so she hurriedly said, "Miss, let's drink a few more sips." We can't use ice in the house, and the slave is worried about your heat stroke. ”

This is the East Chamber, the sun does not go down all day and night, and it is hot from the morning, and it is not over until noon. After the young lady had a miscarriage, she couldn't get close to the cold things, so the steward's side didn't send ice cubes, saying that it was taboo.

There was no ice or air in the house, and it was really stuffy. This midsummer is only half over, how will we survive in the future?

While the master and servant were talking, the maid outside reported from afar: "The eldest lady has arrived." ”

When Meng Xiyue heard this, she thought she had heard it wrong, so she sat up straight and said, "Shuangxi, you go over and take a look." ”

Shuangxi heard it so well, and hurriedly helped her sit down and said, "Miss, it's the eldest lady, you have to get up and salute." ”

Meng Xiyue sat up with her coat on, and slowly stood up from the bed.

Shuangxi was timid, twisted the handkerchief in his hand, helped the young lady to sit down, and knelt on the ground to greet him.

The eldest lady of the Hou Mansion, Gongsun Clan, slowly entered the house, and a sultry air rushed in front of her, causing her to frown slightly.

Gongsun was only in his early thirties, but he had three sons, one of whom was more outstanding and handsome, and everyone said that she was so blessed that she had a strong life of children and grandchildren.

Gongsun glanced at Meng Xiyue, who was kneeling on the ground, and pondered for a moment before saying, "Get up, why do you have to make such a big salute for someone who has just lost his body." ”

Hearing this, Meng Xiyue held Shuangxi's hand, slowly stood up, and stood quietly with her eyes down.

The maids and daughters-in-law behind the Gongsun clan looked at Meng Xiyue, all with a straight face and a contemptuous expression.

Gongsun's eyes also flashed a hint of darkness, but she was still calm, and after sitting down, she raised her hand and let Meng Xiyue sit in front of her.

"How's your body?"

Her complexion is very bad, and her appearance is not as good-looking as when she entered the mansion before.

Meng Xiyue sat down in a proper manner and said respectfully: "Back to Madame's words, thanks to Madame's thoughts, Yue'er's body and bones are much better." ”

Gongsun said lightly when he heard this: "If your body is not good, you can raise it slowly, you are the first child, and it is inevitable that your body is delicate and unable to stabilize the child." And relax your heart, take more tonic medicine to warm your stomach in the future, and you will definitely have the blessing of having children again. ”

Meng Xiyue was a little flattered for a while, she didn't expect her to come over to relieve herself, she hurriedly got up with tears in her eyes, and said: "Thank you for your care, Yue'er is useless, you can't spread the branches and leaves for the second master, in the future, Yue'er will definitely do her best to serve the second master, filial piety to Mrs. ......"

Before she could finish her words, Gongsun raised his hand to stop her, "You don't have to say such things to me. I am not your elder, and you are not my daughter-in-law, you don't have to worry about filial piety to me in the future, just serve the second master, it is right. It's rare for the second master to like you so much, you don't want to disappoint him. Although you just didn't have a child, you shouldn't be so bored all day long, sitting, going out for a walk in the future, and dressing up more, so that people can look happy. ”

When Meng Xiyue heard this, she felt as if she had been slapped in the face, her face hurt hotly, and she could only nod her head.

Gongsun couldn't stand the stuffiness in this room, so he got up after sitting down and said, "The Meng Mansion sent a lot of things over, and I asked the people to collect them for you." Remember, if there is anything missing when you turn back, you just need to send someone to inform you, and you can't tell your mother to send it specially. Although you only have the name of a concubine, fortunately, you are the daughter of the Meng family, and in the face of your parents, the Hou Mansion will not treat you badly. ”

Meng Xiyue saw that she had misunderstood, and was about to explain, but Gongsun didn't have the heart to listen at all, so she turned around and walked out of the house, leaving only a back for her.

Meng Xiyue clenched her fists slightly, and knelt down again to see her off: "Madame, go slowly." ”

knelt down together, causing her to sweat a lot.

Shuangxi hugged her up and said, "Miss, go back to bed and lie down for a while, and the slave will prepare hot water for you." ”

Meng Xiyue shook her head: "If you don't wash it, you've wasted all that good water in vain." ”

After saying that, she lay back on the bed alone, obviously very hot, but she still covered her body with a thin quilt and covered her head.

Shuangxi persuaded: "Miss, you will be sullen like this...... Who knows, Meng Xiyue inside said with a crying voice: "Get out, leave me alone." ”

Shuangxi bit her lip and silently retreated.

Meng Xiyue cried for more than an hour, and when she came out of the quilt, her clothes were soaked with sweat.

Shuangxi caught her a cold and hurriedly dressed her: "Miss, be careful." ”

She is also a little confinement now, if she does the root of the disease, she will suffer in the future.

Meng Xiyue's eyes were red and swollen, and she let Shuangxi wipe her body and change her clothes and clean up.

Seeing that it was time for dinner, a number of maids suddenly came from outside carrying food boxes and put the steaming food on the table.

"Back to the girl, this is all made by the lady in the kitchen, please use it slowly."

Meng Xiyue looked at the table of dishes, and didn't react at all, which made the maid frown unhappily, but fortunately, Shuangxi was clever enough, and hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "Thank you sisters, and bother the sisters to say hello to Mrs. for my girl, and say thank you." ”

The maids glanced at her with a smile and left without saying anything.

Shuangxi looked at the food on the table, and couldn't help but persuade with a smile: "Miss, let's eat." ”

Where does Meng Xiyue have any appetite, chicken, duck and fish, although it smells fragrant, it is more greasy than the other.

Shuangxi was persuading, Song Wenyu walked in from outside, looked at Meng Xiyue, and then looked at the untouched dishes on the table, and only said, "Okay, why don't you eat?" ”

Meng Xiyue raised her red and swollen eyes, glanced at him, and then turned her back.

Song Wenyu saw her crying, so she said, "I'll come and eat with you." ”

Shuangxi was happy when he heard this, and he was busy pouring tea for the second master.

Song Wenyu took the lead in picking up the chopsticks, and Meng Xiyue had no choice but to move the chopsticks with her, and took the initiative to pick up the dishes and send them to his bowl, "Second master use it slowly." ”

Song Wenyu took a bite and said lightly: "I know that you are not having a good time these days, but there is no reason to use your body to be angry." And, you know, I don't like women being too thin. ”

Meng Xiyue was slightly stunned when she heard this, and then she picked up a mouthful of food and ate it. She couldn't taste it at all, so she swallowed it after a few bites.

Song Wenyu stared at her: "Are you feeling better?" ”

Meng Xiyue nodded slightly: "It's better." ”

Song Wenyu said again: "Okay, then I'll come over to rest today." ”

"Huh?" Meng Xiyue was stunned when she heard this, she had just lost a child, and this body could not serve him. "Second master, although the concubine is better, she still can't ......"

In front of the slave maid, she was a little embarrassed to speak too carefully.

Song Wenyu put down his chopsticks and said, "Don't think about it, I just came over to rest, and I didn't say what I want you to do." ”

Meng Xiyue breathed a sigh of relief, but she felt puzzled: "I have a small place here, and it's stuffy, why should the second master wronged himself?" ”

Song Wenyu sighed softly: "If I stay for a few more nights, those people outside won't dare to show you a look." The minions are all cheap bones and like to follow the eyes of their masters. Since I led you into the gate of our Song family, I can't watch you being bullied. ”

People are his, and if they want to be bullied, they will be bullied, and it is not the turn of others.
