Tong Zhinuo looked at the bill, and said thoughtfully: "This shows that it costs fifty taels to buy cinnabar, if a maid buys it with her own money, it is not realistic at all, a maid's monthly payment is only twenty taels per month, and there is not much left for the family, and what will a maid buy this thing for?"

Listening to Tong Zhinuo's analysis, Tong Zhen felt that it was very reasonable, but Ruan still didn't admit it, and insisted that this matter was done by his personal maid and had nothing to do with him.

"In fact, there is also a possibility that this maid took the monthly payment in advance and bought cinnabar, but this does not work at all, and there is no need to record it on the bill." Tong Zhinuo said unhurriedly.

Tong Zhen was very angry, especially after listening to Tong Zhinuo's sharing, he was even more angry in his heart, plus Ruan's still refusing to admit it, Tong Zhen was very disappointed, and he didn't want to care about it so much.

gave an order and confined the Nguyen clan to the ancestral hall.

It didn't take long for Xu to come to the door, and this time Tong Zhen didn't let go at all, no matter how Xu pleaded, Tong Zhen didn't agree.

Xu Shi touched his nose and had to go out.

……

I thought it would stop for a few days, but the Ruan family had been grounded in the ancestral hall for a while, but during this time, Tong Zhilian came out.

Because he was grounded for a month, his temperament has gradually improved, he is not as reckless as before, and he understands his current situation in his heart, and he no longer finds fault with Tong Zhinuo.

But Tong Zhinuo is not a good stubble, of course she knows the reason for Tong Zhi's pity, Ruan is grounded in the ancestral hall, no one will give her a waist, and naturally she will not be arrogant.

But it didn't take long for Ruan Shi to faint in the ancestral hall for some reason, Tong Zhinuo was in a hurry, a group of people hurried to the ancestral hall, and the subordinates helped Ruan Shi back to her room, Tong Zhen called Lang Zhong.

A group of people were waiting at the door, everyone had different thoughts in their hearts, and Tong Zhinuo thought about what tricks Ruan was going to do this time.

After a while, Lang Zhong came out and said with a happy face: "Master, it's Ximai, Madame has it." ”

Tong Zhinuo's face changed in an instant, how could it be possible for Ruan Shi to be pregnant at this time? How could it be so coincidental?

Returning to his courtyard in disbelief, Tong Zhilian looked at her departing back, and a smile crossed her lips.

"Are you sure it's okay? Is there really one? Tong Zhen pulled Lang Zhong's arm in disbelief and asked in a trembling tone.

Lang Zhong nodded affirmatively.

After getting the news, Xu also rushed over, knowing that Ruan's was pregnant, so he asked Tong Zhen to quickly release Ruan's, saying that he should rest well when he was pregnant, Tong Zhen was also very happy, and immediately gave an order to let his subordinates take care of Ruan's family.

Ruan Shi woke up and looked at Tong Zhilian walking around and didn't know what she was busy with, she sat up and said softly, "Lian'er, what are you doing?" ”

Hearing Ruan's voice, Tong Zhilian hurriedly passed, "Mother, are you awake?" ”

"Why am I here?" Ruan Shi asked Tong Zhi with some incomprehension.

Tong Zhilian explained the events of that day to his mother, and Ruan Shi looked excited after hearing this, unable to accept this fact at all.

"Mother, listen to me, this child must be favored by God, so you have to take good care of your body, and you must not make any mistakes." Tong Zhilian calmed down and said to Ruan.

She still clearly remembered the expression on that day after Tong Zhinuo left, and remembered that she was a little worried about the Tong Zhinuo in her eyes, so she kept telling Ruan Shi to take good care of her body.

Since that day, Tong Zhinuo has been in a bad mood, and she never expected that Ruan would be pregnant at this time.

broke all plans, and thought that if the child was born, Ruan's status would definitely be much higher, Tong Zhinuo was very irritable.

Mama Li is also embarrassed to ask anything, after all, this matter is not something that people can control, I just hope that the lady in her belly is a girl, so that the young lady can be happier.

……

Tong Zhiyan got out of class this day, and I heard the scholar say that Ruan was pregnant, so he hurriedly went home.

It was supposed to go over to visit, but the Xu family gave an order, and no one could go to the Ruan family courtyard without her permission.

There was no way for Tong Zhiyan to ask Tong Zhen for peace, so he went to find his sister.

At this time, Tong Zhinuo was still melancholy in the courtyard, looking at this time, there would definitely be nothing going on.

"Noel, Noel, what do you think? So fascinating? Tong Zhiyan screamed for a long time.

"Ahh Brother, you're here. Tong Zhinuo saw his brother and immediately changed his expression.

Tong Zhiyan touched her hair dissatisfied, "Why don't you share anything with your brother now?" I saw your melancholy look just now, but when I saw me, I immediately changed my expression. ”

Tong Zhinuo didn't expect to be caught by her brother this time, and she was a little entangled in her heart, she actually didn't want her brother to worry, but when her brother saw it, he would definitely ask about it.

"Mother is pregnant." Tong Zhinuo said lightly.

Tong Zhiyan already knew this, and he was also very distressed when he saw his sister like this, after all, if the Ruan family really gave birth to a boy, then they would definitely not have a good time in the future.

"I know, don't think about it, my brother will protect you."

Tong Zhinuo looked up at his brother with a serious face, not only did he feel a little painful in his heart, it turned out that his brother had borne less than himself, but his brother never said it.

In the past few days, Tong Zhinuo has been restless, his heart is very bottomless, and he is very bored every day, since Ruan's pregnancy, Tong Zhilian has been taking care of her, for fear that she will miss something.

In fact, to put it bluntly, I am afraid that Tong Zhinuo will affect the child in his mother's womb.

Tong Zhinuo would not be so well-behaved, she asked Mama Li to order the black chicken soup prepared in the kitchen, and the group went to the Ruan's courtyard, but was blocked by the guards at the door.

"Why, I'm also my mother's daughter, why can't I go in?" Tong Zhinuo said in a very flat tone.

The guard said apologetically: "Back to the eldest lady, the old lady ordered, saying that the lady has been unwell recently, so don't toss." ”

Tong Zhinuo pretended to be worried and said: "I am my mother's daughter, my mother is not feeling well, of course I, who is a daughter, will come to serve me tightly, why don't you get out of the way for me, if this black chicken soup is cold, it will delay the best time for my mother to take it, be careful that I will cure your sin." ”

The guard at the door looked embarrassed, "This... Miss, don't embarrass me. ”

It just so happened that Tong Zhilian came out to pour water, and saw the noise outside the hospital, and she just wanted to reprimand these people who were not long-thinking when she saw an uninvited guest coming. For a moment, she forgot her mother's teachings, so she scolded loudly: "How can anyone dare to spread wild in front of his mother's courtyard, and he is not afraid that his father will punish you?" ”

Tong Zhinuo only smiled and did not say a word.

Tong Zhipian saw that she was not angry, so he said again: "What? Don't dare to speak, get me out of here quickly, or I'll let the guards blow you away." ”

Xu Shi originally planned to go to see Ruan's family, but as soon as he got closer, he heard a lot of noise in front of the courtyard, and saw Tong Zhinuo standing at the gate of the courtyard, and Tong Zhilian standing inside.

"What's the matter, Li'er, what's going on?" Tong Zhilian saw his grandmother coming, his face changed instantly, and he looked at Tong Zhinuo proudly as he walked over.

"Grandmother, my sister said that she wanted to come to see her mother, but my mother has been feeling unwell recently, I said to let my sister come back another day, my sister didn't listen, and she still wanted to break in!"

Tong Zhilian looked at his grandmother with an aggrieved face after speaking.

Xu Shi looked at Tong Zhinuo coldly and said, "Nuo'er, don't mess around, your mother is not feeling well today, so you can come back another day." ”

After speaking, he looked like he didn't want to say more.

Tong Zhinuo thought to herself, there was no way to go in now, she could only go down this step.
