Mama Xue was overjoyed.

"The slave thinks ......"

"Master, the eldest master is here, and he said that he is waiting for you in the outer courtyard." Mama Xue only opened her head, and a girl's voice suddenly interjected.

The three people in the room all looked towards the end of the curtain, and when they saw that Agarwood had come in at some point, they said crisply through the curtain.

Mama Xue's face froze, and she glared at Agarwood in displeasure: "Didn't you come in and don't know the report?" Obviously, I saw that the master was so unruly here! ”

Agarwood said: "Mama forgives the sin, it is the eldest master who said that he is in a hurry." The slave was afraid that something would be wrong, so she hurriedly came in to report it. ”

Mama Xue wanted to say something, but Xue Shi rarely interrupted: "The matter in the outer courtyard is naturally urgent, so Mama will forgive this girl this time." I will discipline her well in the future. ”

Mama Xue frowned, glanced at Wang Dong, and couldn't help but speak.

Wang Dong nodded to Xue and walked out: "I'll go to the outer courtyard first." ”

When he walked to Mama Xue's side, Wang Dong paused: "Let's talk about it later." ”

With that, Wang Dong went out without looking back.

After Wang Dong left, there was an eerie silence in the room.

After half a sound, Mama Xue said coldly to the side of the curtain: "You go to the backyard to find the mama in charge of punishment and get ten boards." ”

Seeing this, Xue wanted to speak again, but Agarwood preemptively said: "Yes, the slave knows." With that, he bowed neatly and went out.

Mama Xue's face sank again.

When only Xue and Mama Xue were left in the room, Mama Xue looked at Xue for a while and said, "Second Miss is blaming me?" ”

Hearing this, Xue Shi raised his head suddenly: "I...... No. ”

Mama Xue looked at Xue Shi for a while, until Xue Shi lowered her head again and said, "That's good." The old slave did this for our Xue family. For the second miss you. ”

Xue bit his lip and didn't speak.

Mama Xue said lightly: "Master, the incense of the Xue family can't be broken here, Miss Ruyu is the closest to your bloodline." Now that four years have passed, and your stomach has not moved, why can't the old slave plan for you for the Xue family in his eyes? ”

Mama Xue approached the Xue family. helped Xue pick up the rice paper and pen and ink on the table, and also saw the word plaice written by Wang Dong on the rice paper.

"Flowers are not red for 100 days, and men are greedy for fresh and good colors. Second Miss, don't look at anything, it's okay now. When you look at it in another ten or eight years, you will know that the most reliable person is not your husband but your children. The old slave is a person who is half buried in the loess. I've seen more than you in this life. I can see it better than you. The old slave will not harm you. When Miss Ruyu gives birth to a child, you are a mother and an aunt, and then you want to raise that child in your name, and it will be your own. ”

Xue listened quietly and did not speak.

Mama Xue put away the rice paper on which she had written and put it in the wooden box where the paper was stored.

"You may feel a little unhappy now, but you will know later, think about it."

With that, Mama Xue turned around and retreated.

Xue sat down in a chair. He was stunned for a moment before smiling bitterly.

What if she can't figure it out? Can you still do what she wants?

After a while, there was movement outside.

"Sister Agarwood. You watch the dots carefully. Mulian's voice sounded with some crying.

Xue immediately stood up from his chair. He shouted outside.

After a while, Mulian came in with the agarwood and limped in.

Looking at the agarwood who was sweating profusely and couldn't even stand, Xue's heart was a little bitter, and beckoned Mulian to help the agarwood to the little maid's couch on duty at night, and then ordered: "Mulian, you go and call the porter to invite a doctor." ”

After Mu Lian received the order, Xue Shi said again: "You have a good rest these days, and leave the work to Mu Lian and them, and then heal the injury first." ”

Agarwood replied to Xue's bright smile, and didn't seem to put this board in his eyes at all: "Thank you, madam, the slave has rough skin and thick meat, it's fine." Madam, is it very timely for the slave to come? ”

Hearing this, Xue Shi looked at Agarwood with some dumbfounded: "You, you were just ...... Deliberately? ”

Agarwood blinked mischievously: "It's not deliberate, the outer courtyard did send someone to ask the master, but it wasn't so urgent." The slave is Madame's personal maid, how can you watch Madame being bullied. ”

Xue Shi was a little moved, but still said: "Don't talk nonsense, how can anyone bully me." If you let people know this, you will be beaten again. ”

Agarwood smiled and said seriously: "My father served the third master to read back then, so he knows the words." He once said that when you are a slave, you must have the appearance of a slave, even if you have the ability, that ability is also obtained from the face given by the master, you must not be satisfied because of this, forget the form, in front of the master, the slave will always be a slave. Madame, you have a good temperament, but you also have a very good temperament. ”

Xue naturally understood Agarwood's words, she paused, and first went to her room and turned out a bottle of good wound medicine.

"I know what you said, but ......" Xue put the medicine bottle on the couch, and he also sat on the side, his hand subconsciously on his lower abdomen.

Agarwood is a smart one, understood Xue's concerns, thought about it and shook his head: "Madam, have you forgotten that you still have the fifth young master and the third young lady?" The first three ladies are gone, and you are their serious mother-in-law. You have also seen these days, they are all kind people, and they really respect you as a mother. ”

Xue nodded, in the past few days, Wang Jing and Sanniang would come to greet her every morning, and they had always treated her politely, and they never despised her because of her young age. Although she is weak, she knows what is good and bad.

"Besides, madam, you are still young, and you may be ...... in the future The slave maid has heard that many women are married for several years before ......, "In the end, she is not married, Agarwood blushed a little, but she serves the Xue family closely, and she is not ignorant of men and women, and she is much bolder than ordinary maids of the same age."

"The slave maid thought, if you are in a hurry to bring in Miss Ruyu now, what if the little young master is born in the future?"

Xue Shi was stunned, there was no movement for four years, and even she felt that there was no hope, but Agarwood's words still made Xue Shi's heart ripple.

"If Miss Ruyu gives birth, will she have to raise it in the name of her wife? But now that we have a fifth young master in the third room, if Madame still does this, will the fifth young master and the third young lady think that Madame, you have any thoughts about them and stay away from you? The slave knows that Madam, you have no bad intentions, but it is difficult to guarantee that Miss Ruyu will not have any thoughts...... The slave and maid were afraid that something unpleasant might happen at that time. ”

"But the Fifth Young Master is already sixteen years old this year, even if Miss Ruyu has the remaining Little Master, it will not be able to shake the status of the Fifth Young Master, and it will also cause you to have a dislike between you and the Fifth Young Master's mother and son. In the future, if the little young master is born, he will still have to rely on the help of the fifth young master and the third young lady. ”

"But...... If the old man wants to take his cousin, I can't stop it. Xue Shi looked melancholy.

Agarwood pursed her lips: "Madam, everyone with eyes can see that you are compared to Miss Ruyu...... There's no comparison. The old man didn't seem to have this meaning, otherwise he wouldn't have just said a thing, but he left in a hurry on the grounds that there was something in the outer courtyard. The old man must have rejected Mama Xue for the sake of Lord Xue and Mrs. Xue's face, but he was unwilling in his heart. Isn't this the right time for you, madam, to solve your problems for your lord. ”

Xue's eyes lit up when he heard this, just now Wang Dong really didn't mean to take a concubine, and today he clearly rejected Xue Ruyu. Just now, Mama Xue was there to force her words. Xue remembered that the old man had glanced at him at that time, and he must have wanted her to open his mouth to refuse, because she was also surnamed Xue, and Wang Dong would not be embarrassed if she spoke. But she dodged because she was afraid of Mama Xue.

"Madame, you can be weak in other things. But if you have to follow the meaning of a slave even in the affairs of the master and the young master, it is not worth it for the slave to do it for you. ”

The emotions in Xue's eyes kept changing, and finally he clenched his fists, exhaled, and said softly: "You're right, there are some things I can't let go." Even if I can't change anything in the end, if I don't even try, I don't deserve the life I want. ”

Agarwood, lying on the couch, showed a big smile on his face.

***

Xue and Sanniang missed today's chrysanthemum banquet, but today's chrysanthemum banquet was not completed.

When it was almost noon, Wang Jing and Wang Ji came back, and when they heard about the danger that Xue and Sanniang encountered today, Wang Jing came to the inner courtyard to ask for peace as soon as he came back. The Xue family asked people to call Sanniang over.

Wang Jing first asked if Xue was frightened, and then worriedly looked at Sanniangzai carefully, and saw that he was really not injured, so he wiped the sweat on his forehead.

Sanniang saw that he was relieved, so she smiled and asked, "Why did you go back so early today?" ”

Wang Jing took the tea that Xue asked the maid to bring to him: "Not long after we went to Prince Li's courtyard today, Prince Li and Princess Li passed on the order that today's chrysanthemum banquet should be canceled first. We were surprised when we heard about it, but at that time, the princess did not explain why. It's just that when I came back, I heard from my uncle and grandmother that it was because His Royal Highness in the palace might be bad. ”

Sanniang and Xue were shocked when they heard this, they knew that the Royal Highness in Wang Jing's mouth was His Royal Highness the Second Prince, the only son of the queen mother. This highness almost didn't come back to life when he was born, and he was later rescued, but he has always been weak and sickly, and he can only live until now by hanging with precious medicinal materials, and he still can't do it if he doesn't want to.
