As soon as she entered Yun Gongzi's house, Shui Qingqing smelled a smell of milk and rancid, and when she saw Yun Gongzi's appearance in the cradle, she was so frightened that she lost half of her soul.

Because he had just vomited, Yun Gongzi's cradle was a mess, and the nurses and grandmothers were changing his dirty clothes, Yun Gongzi seemed to be very uncomfortable, crying and kicking his hands and feet, and his little face turned vermilion, which was particularly.

The grandmothers seemed to be afraid that Brother Yun would catch a cold, and they didn't care that he was crying badly, so they still insisted on changing his clothes. And Brother Yun cried more and more fiercely, and finally choked on crying, opened his mouth wide, couldn't make a sound in his throat, and his little face was already bruised.

Shui Qingqing was so frightened that her heart was about to stop beating, so she hurriedly rushed forward, pushed Mama away, picked up the quilt on the side and wrapped Brother Yun'er, picked him up and patted him on the back through the quilt, and helped him smooth his breath for most of the moment.

Probably tired of crying, Brother Yun leaned on Shui Qingqing's arms, his dense eyelashes trembled, and he seemed to be unable to sleep when he wanted to, which was very pitiful.

Seeing this, Shui Qingqing felt so uncomfortable that she felt like she was being cut by a knife, and scolded the nurse and grandmother with a cold face: "How do you take care of the child?" Obviously, Yun Gongzi cried so much, why didn't he coax him first...... What if you choke on one breath? ”

The nurse and the grandmother didn't take this cousin of the Sheng family who ate idle meals in their eyes, but looking at Shui Qingqing's fierce expression, they were shocked by her, so they didn't dare to refute it one by one.

Waiting for the next person to replace the dirty bedding in the cradle and clean the house, Brother Yun finally fell asleep in Shui Qingqing's arms.

Shui Qingqing sat by the brazier with the sleeping Brother Yun'er, and the nurse on the side stepped forward and said softly: "Miss Cousin, since the son is asleep, put it back in the cradle, it's been half an hour, don't be tired of you." ”

can hold her child like this, let alone half an hour, even if she doesn't let go day and night, she doesn't feel tired.

Shui Qingqing was about to ask the nurse why Brother Yun suddenly returned to the milk, Bai Lingwei came over, she didn't care that Brother Yun was asleep, and told the grandmothers to quickly change Brother Yun'er's clothes.

Brother Yun, who finally fell asleep, hummed and cried again, but Bai Lingwei only cared about urging the grandmothers to change Brother Yun'er's clothes quickly, and let Brother Yun cry.

Shui Qingqing stood aside and watched, her heart was about to break, and when she saw Brother Yun wearing her middle coat, she couldn't help but step forward and said, "Auntie, my son may have to rest at this hour, it's better to let him sleep directly, no need to wear a robe......"

Bai Lingwei ignored her words, but turned around and said casually: "The hour is not early, and the Hou Ye is estimated to be coming back from the palace soon." I'm going to serve in front of Master Hou, but I'm afraid I won't be able to stay with my sister for a long time. ”

Shui Qingqing's face turned pale, and she instantly understood the reason why Bai Lingwei didn't let Brother Yun rest at this hour, it turned out that she wanted to take Brother Yun to invite her in front of Mei Zijin!

The child who endured humiliation and died all his life became a tool for Bai Lingwei to invite favor.

I thought she would at least be good to Yun'er, but I didn't expect that she completely ignored the child's health, and only knew how to use Yun'er to compete for favor!

With hatred in her heart dripping blood, Shui Qingqing couldn't wait to rush forward immediately to fight with Bai Lingwei, but the last trace of reason left pulled her back again.

She gritted her teeth to hold back the hatred in her heart, and said slowly: "My aunt takes care of her son, and she has to wait for the Hou Ye, which is really hard. If my aunt doesn't dislike it, how about I take care of my aunt when my son cries in the future? ”

Hearing this, Bai Lingwei's eyes were cold, and a trace of suspicion appeared in her expression, and she looked at Shui Qingqing coldly.

Hearing Shui Qingqing's proposal, Bai Lingwei became suspicious.

It's just that no matter how powerful she is, she never expected that the person in front of her would be Yun'er's biological mother, the life-and-death enemy who came to her to seek revenge on her son.

Bai Lingwei's first thought was that Shui Qingqing had not given up on Mei Zijin, and wanted to take advantage of coming to the main courtyard to see Yun'er and find an opportunity to hook up with Mei Zijin.

Her eyes were slightly cold, and she hooked her lips and smiled: "Sister Sheng, now that we are sisters, you might as well say something to your sister - what do you think of our Hou Ye?" ”

Shui Qingqing's body trembled, and she was about to speak, but Bai Lingwei pretended to be sincere and said: "You saved Yun'er's life yesterday, and we owe you a favor." If you still think about Hou Ye in your heart, my sister can help you talk in front of Hou Ye and ask him to accept you into the room - presumably Hou Ye will agree to it for the sake of kindness. ”

At this time, Bai Lingwei was like a beautiful snake that lured her prey to take the bait, putting away her sharp teeth, but the poisonous letter that leaked from time to time made people feel cold.

Shui Qingqing didn't understand that this was her temptation to herself, her heart was cold, but her face was flustered: "Please aunt don't say such things again...... I have no second thoughts about Lord Hou, and now I just want to rely on my aunt to live a better life in the Hou Mansion, so I want to help my aunt share one or two...... If my aunt misunderstood, ...... in the future I will never come to the main house again......"

After that, he didn't stop and said goodbye to Bai Lingwei and left.

And after listening to her words, Bai Lingwei's suspicions were mostly put down, and she smiled: "Why is my sister annoyed?" Since you don't agree, I won't talk about it again. If my sister is willing to take care of Yun'er for me, I can't ask for it. My sister will come often in the future. ”

With Bai Lingwei's words, in the days to come, Shui Qingqing really went to Bai Wei Courtyard every day to take care of Yun'er.

It's just that every time she goes, she enters and exits through the back door of Baiwei Courtyard, avoiding running into Mei Zijin at the front door.

If she met Mei Zijin and came to Baiwei Courtyard, she would also avoid him.

Now, Bai Lingwei, who was secretly observing her, was completely relieved.

Xia Chan, who was ordered to monitor Shui Qingqing, also relaxed, and said proudly: "Miss, it seems that this Sheng Yu was really scared when she fell off the carriage last time, so she bent on stammering with Miss and wanted to get Miss's protection - she is not stupid, she knows that Miss is now the most favored by Lord Hou, and she knows that it is the safest to stick the big tree of Miss." ”

After that, he lowered his voice and flattered Bai Lingwei's ear: "Miss is really smart, but the plan of the day was the right one......

Hearing this, Bai Lingwei, who was leaning on the warm couch and closing her eyes to recuperate, suddenly opened her eyes, a cold glint flashed in her eyes, and she twisted her eyebrows and said coldly: "No matter how good the plan is, it is not my own, and I have no real blood relationship with Hou Ye - if I let the other three sluts rob Mr. Hou Ye's real bloodline, I am afraid that I will be suppressed again." ”

"Therefore, the most important thing now is to conceive a child that truly belongs to me as soon as possible, while the Hou Ye's mind is still on me."

Under Shui Qingqing's careful care, Brother Yun'er's situation when she returned to milk improved a lot, and her crying was naturally much less, and Bai Lingwei's life became easier.

It's just that in the old lady and Mei Zijin, she never mentioned Shui Qingqing's care of Yun'er, and only took all this hard work on herself.

All this can be hidden from the eyes of the old lady, but it can't be hidden from Mei Zijin.

Although he didn't let Sanshi investigate Shui Qingqing again, he still knew her every move in the mansion.

Knowing that she went to Baiwei Courtyard every day to take care of Yun'er, Mei Zijin felt a pang in her heart-

Could it be that the purpose of her insistence on entering the mansion was really to come to Bai Lingwei!

Ever since she saw Shui Qingqing pass away for the first time and visit the old lady in the hospital, her eyes involuntarily shifted to Bai Lingwei. was assassinated on that day, and she protected Bai Lingwei's mother and son regardless of the danger. Mei Zijin had doubts in her heart, suspecting that her purpose in entering the mansion was to come to Bai Lingwei.

And now, knowing that Shui Qingqing went to Baiwei Courtyard every day to take care of Yun'er, he confirmed the guess in his heart.

Because, it stands to reason that the first person she had a grudge against her when she entered the mansion was Bai Lingwei, instead of holding a grudge, she helped Bai Lingwei and got closer and closer to Bai Lingwei, which was too unusual.

It can only be said that everything she does has a purpose......

So, what was her purpose in approaching Bai Lingwei?

In the carriage, Mei Zijin pondered, and Sanshi said to him again: "Master, I heard that on the day of the assassination, Miss Sheng fell from the carriage, not by accident, but by someone who deliberately pushed her ......down."

Hearing this, Mei Zijin's expression froze, and she asked coldly: "Did she say this by herself?" ”

Sanshi nodded, "She told Aunt Bai personally, saying that someone hated her for helping Yun Gongzi get out of danger for her troubles, so she did it." ”

Since someone deliberately pushed her down, why didn't she tell herself and the old lady, but only Bai Lingwei alone?

More and more fog surged in his heart, and suddenly, Mei Zijin remembered the golden rouge box he had found in the mourning hall.

Taking out the box from her body, Mei Zijin looked at the old rouge box in her hand with a puzzled look, and a bright light flashed in her mind.

The next moment, he instructed Sanshi, "Change the route and go to Emerald Village!" ”

Jade Village is the largest jewelry store in Beijing, with a history of hundreds of years, a real century-old brand, and is deeply loved by the dignitaries and nobles in Beijing.

The carriage stopped in front of the Jade Village, and the shopkeeper saw that Dingbeihou had come to the store in person, and hurriedly led Mei Zijin to the VIP room on the second floor, so that people could bring up all the treasures collected in the store for Mei Zijin to choose.

Sanshi also thought that Mei Zijin was choosing a gift for the 100-day banquet of Yun Gongzi three days later, and said with a smile: "What does the master want to give to the son?" ”

His eyes swept lightly over the various treasures in front of him, and Mei Zijin was about to take out the golden rouge box to show the shopkeeper, so that he could see if he could know him, but the next moment, he was attracted by the noise downstairs.

Doubts flashed in her heart, Mei Zijin got up and came to the window, hidden behind the screen window, and looked at Shui Qingqing, who was arguing with the shopkeeper below.

Shui Qingqing stood in front of the counter in the middle of the hall in a blue dress, stuffed a bag of things in her arms into the shopkeeper, and kept saying good things in her mouth, Xiao Xi followed her with a red face.

However, no matter what she said, the shopkeeper has always refused to accept her things, and the two of them pushed me back and refused to give in to each other.

The shopkeeper saw that the sound below alarmed Mei Zijin, so he was so frightened that he hurriedly stepped forward to ask for guilt, and said cautiously: "Master Hou, forgive me, Xiao Ke immediately invite that girl out to ......"

"What's going on?"

Mei Zijin stopped the shopkeeper who wanted to go downstairs to get rid of Shui Qingqing, and asked coldly.

The shopkeeper said with a bitter face: "This girl came to the shop early in the morning and chose a pair of anklebracelets, saying that it was a gift for the child to make a 100-day banquet." She chose the best pair of red gold and jadeite ankle bracelets in the store, and the price was 1,000 taels of silver, but she only got 200 taels of silver out of the cage, and there was still a difference of 800 taels...... She said that she would sell her jewelry to a small shop, and that she would pay it back slowly after owing the money......

"Master Hou, it's not that we don't want to do her business, but the small shop was originally engaged in jewelry trading, where is there a reason to collect old jewelry? Besides, her jewelry is worth a maximum of fifty taels, and the remaining more than seven hundred taels of silver, and she refuses to report it to her house, and there is no guarantor, so how dare we give it credit? ”

"Alas, Xiao Ke has been a shopkeeper for so many years, and he has never met such a strong buyer......"

Mei Zijin listened silently, her expression moved slightly, and the next moment she said coldly: "Which pair of anklebracelets did she choose?" Take a look! ”

Before, not to mention such a valuable anklebracelet, even such a big jewelry store as Jade Village, Shui Qingqing had never seen it.

Even the humble jewelry stalls on the street, she rarely frequented them.

But I have to say that she still has a good eye for picking things.

The pair of red gold anklebs she likes are not only exquisitely made, but the jadeite inlaid on them is also bright and transparent, and the weight is not light.

And at that time, she chose it, just to see that it looked good, and thought that wearing it on Yun'er's white and chubby little feet must be a perfect match.

It's just that she didn't expect that the pair of anklebracelets would be priced at 1,000 taels of silver......

Shui Qingqing married and came to the Hou Mansion, and she left the dowry given by the Hou Mansion to the Sheng family, so she couldn't take out any extra silver except for two hundred taels of silver.

But when Yun'er was full moon, she couldn't be by his side, she always felt guilty about him, and now that he is 100 days old, Shui Qingqing wants to pick a valuable gift for him.

Therefore, even if a thousand taels of silver was undoubtedly a huge amount of money for her, she still refused to give up and insisted on buying it and giving it to Brother Yun......

Xiao Xi saw that Shui Qingqing insisted on buying this pair of anklebracelets, but she couldn't take out the silver, so she couldn't help but persuade: "Miss, according to our relationship with Aunt Bai, why do you need to buy such a valuable thing?" ”

Xiaoxi said what Mei Zijin was thinking.

Mei Zijin, who was standing behind the window, saw her eyes fall on the ankle bracelet on the tray in front of her, but her ears were paying attention to the movement below. A fog swelled up in my heart again—

This Sheng Yu, what is the relationship between her and Bai Lingwei? Why did she spend such a large amount of money to buy an ankle bracelet for Yun'er?

Shui Qingqing, who racked his brains to buy the ankle bracelet, didn't know that Mei Zijin was watching him from the window on the second floor, let alone that the thing he had chosen was now in his hands.

She said: "I bought things for Yun Gongzi, not for Aunt Bai." ”

After that, she looked at the shopkeeper who had been refusing to agree, and pleaded helplessly: "Or, the little brother will help me pass on the shopkeeper and let me meet the shopkeeper, and I will talk to the shopkeeper." ”

The shopkeeper had already asked the shopkeeper, and knew that the shopkeeper would not agree, so he couldn't help but say patiently: "This kind of deal, even if you talk to our shopkeeper, the shopkeeper will not agree." Girl, please go back. ”

Xiaoxi also persuaded on the side: "Miss, either we can use the two hundred taels of silver to buy something else, or we don't necessarily need this ankle bracelet......"

Shui Qingqing stood in the lobby at a loss, her expression was gloomy, and a deep sense of powerlessness and sadness swelled in her heart-

She didn't have the ability to ask Bai Lingwei directly for her own flesh and blood, and now she couldn't do anything if she wanted to buy a favorite ankle bracelet for Yun'er, she was ashamed of being a mother!

Her heart was empty, and her tears were about to fall and she turned her head to hide them, and she said sadly: "I mean, collar bracelets, and longevity locks...... Someone prepared it for him, so I wanted to buy him a pair of anklebracelets so he could wear them all the time......"

Xiaoxi took a pair of gold foot chains from the shop's small second-hand and stepped forward to persuade: "Miss, this pair of foot chains is not bad, and the price is also appropriate, just two hundred taels." The second brother said that we are cheaper, only one hundred and ninety-five taels of silver, and the remaining five taels of silver, I can also buy you a rouge box...... In other words, you lost your rouge box for so long and didn't bother to buy another one for yourself, so buy another one today......"

Shui Qingqing, who was already lost in her heart, felt even more uncomfortable when she heard Xiaoxi mention her rouge box related to her life experience.

She looked back at the ordinary foot bracelet in Xiaoxi's hand, no matter how dissatisfied she was, there was no other way, and she was about to agree to buy it, when the shopkeeper came down from the second floor and said in a loud voice: "The girl fancies the foot bracelet, the shop sells it to you!" ”
