Chapter 33: Tears and tears

Old Lady Su glanced at Mama Xu and said, "Mama Xu, go and ...... this person."

"It's Tian Niangzi......"

"Yes, help this Tian lady up, she is still pregnant with the flesh and blood of our second child, you can't be lazy." Old Mrs. Su said lightly.

This is a disguised acknowledgment of the child in the woman's womb, and the name must be determined.

Su Yunlai frowned slightly, she was a little anxious, but with the Chen family, she couldn't go past the elders to ask questions, so she had to give Mama Lan a look.

Mama Lan then opened her mouth and said: "Old lady, you have always loved our second master, you know his personality, that is the most decent but, this Tian lady said that she has the flesh and blood of our second master, but now that our second master is in Lingnan, how can he have such an unclear thing with this woman?" If this spreads, won't it ruin the reputation of our second master? ”

Mrs. Su looked at Tian Niangzi and said, "You heard it, then you can tell me, how did you get along with the second child of our family...... Acquaintances? ”

A trace of red light quickly appeared on Tian Niangzi's face, looking gentle and lovely, she squeezed the handkerchief tightly, and whispered: "The concubine was originally from Honggou Township, and the husband's family opened an inn for a living, but the concubine was a blessed one, and the concubine's husband died of illness, and the concubine was driven back to her parents' house by her in-laws, and she wanted to make do with it, and she just wanted to live in peace, but her sister-in-law couldn't tolerate me, and wanted to sell me for benefits...... "Speaking of this, Tian Niangzi couldn't help but shed tears, looking particularly touching.

"My sister-in-law wants to remarry me to Li Yuanwai in the town, but Li Yuanwai is already sixty! I don't want to marry and suffer, so I want to leave home, but I am a weak woman and have no money, where can I go? The concubine was sad and angry for a while, and then she thought that it was better to die, this world is big, and there is no place for me, and the left and right are just a cheap life, and the province is left to suffer in the world. ”

When Tian Niangzi said this, she cried quietly again, with a heartbroken face, and Mama Xu helped her sit on the chair on the side.

"According to what the lady said, you should be a corpse now, how can you be entangled with our second master?" Mama Lan asked coldly.

Old Lady Su frowned slightly, and glanced at Mama Lan unhappily.

Tian Niangzi wiped her tears and continued: "The concubine was holding a rope, thinking of hanging herself on a tree, but she was rescued by the second master," after a pause, she said: "The second master is because he got together with friends, so he passed through there, and the second master was kind-hearted, and when he saw the concubine looking for death, he saved the life of the slave and maid." ”

"The second master heard about what happened to the concubine, and he also had a pity or two for the concubine." Tian Niangzi lowered her head shyly, and then said: "The second master originally wanted to send the concubine home on the second day, so he took the concubine to rest in the inn in the town......"

When Tian Niangzi said this, her face became red, she glanced at Chen shyly, and then continued: "Who knew that late at night, the second master was drunk and accidentally broke into the concubine's room......" Saying that, she was so ashamed that she covered her face with a handkerchief, and her shy and shy appearance was a little delicate.

Chen's face sank, and he bit his lower lip tightly.

Mrs. Su, who has always attached importance to women's conduct, looked at Tian Niangzi with a little tolerance at this time: "Good boy, I can wronged you, the foolish things that this second child has done, but let you be a weak woman to bear it, this second child is too unreasonable!" ”

Tian Niangzi hurriedly defended Su Zhixun: "Second master, second master is just drunk, he doesn't have a heart." ”

Old Madam Su had a little satisfaction on her face, and she nodded slightly: "What about later?" ”

"The concubine knew that her status was humble and she was not worthy of the second master, so she left quietly the next day, but she didn't expect that she happened to meet the brother and sister-in-law at home who came to me and arrested me back, and wanted to marry me to that Li Yuanwai. It's just that the concubine didn't expect that the concubine was pregnant! ”

Tian Niangzi gently stroked her lower abdomen, and her tears flashed with crystal water: "The concubine is reluctant to let the child be wronged no matter what, although the concubine is humble, but this is the biological flesh and blood of the second master!" The concubine originally wanted to find the second master, but the concubine didn't know where the second master was, and finally only remembered hearing the second master talking to the little girl, saying that he was the second master of the Su family in the capital, the second master of the Su Mansion, and the concubine pawned the jewelry left by my mother, and secretly followed the caravan in the city into the capital. ”

Mrs. Su bowed her head lightly: "It's also an assertive person, and it's not easy for you to go this way." ”

Tian Niangzi glanced at Mrs. Su shyly: "As long as you can see the second master, you can give birth to the second master safely, and you will have nothing else to ask for if you are a concubine." ”

The fifth lady wiped the corners of her eyes and looked at Chen with a bit of malice: "Second sister-in-law, I think this little lady is also a duty, and she also has a little affection for her second brother, which is really commendable, I really want to congratulate the second sister-in-law, there is one more sister, there are more people in this room, but it will be lively." ”

Su Yunlai frowned slightly, and smiled softly at Mrs. Five: "Why should Aunt Fifth be envious, Xiangru and you around Aunt Wu have a deep sisterhood, as well as Aunt Hong, Aunt Yang, and a room of brothers and sisters, but our Su family is the most lively, and everyone envies it!" ”

The fifth old man Su Zhimin loves beauty, although he also respects the fifth wife, but there are many aunts and concubines, and there are two maids around the fifth wife.

The fifth wife's face suddenly sank.

Su Yunlai turned her head away and stopped looking at her, she didn't understand why she did such a thankless thing, obviously she had a lot of pigtails on her body, and she had to deliberately come up to find it uncomfortable.

Mrs. Su thought for a while and said: "What the fifth family said is not unreasonable, there are too few people in the second room, and there are only two children, Ah Wan and Zhan'er, and the heirs are too thin, but this matter can't just rely on your one-sided words, I have to ask the second child." ”

Tian Niangzi nodded, looking like she should be: "This is natural," after a pause, her face was slightly red: "The concubine, the concubine also wants to meet the second master, he doesn't know that he is going to be a father." ”

Chen Shi was shocked, and couldn't help covering his chest, Old Lady Su looked at her like this, and the fire in her heart dissipated slightly.

Chen bit his lip and looked at Mrs. Su: "Mother, can you ask the doctor to come and see me?" Is it true that she is pregnant? ”

Tian Niangzi's eyes turned red: "Madam, what do you mean?" I know, you look down on me, but I'm also a girl from an innocent white family, so wouldn't I use fake pregnancy to deceive people? What girl would joke with her fame? ”

"The second family, I know that you are not happy about this, but Tian Niangzi is indeed pregnant, and she has already seen the doctor." Mrs. Su said as if she was testifying.

"Even if you are pregnant, why do you say that it is our master?" Chen's face was expressionless, "Our lord has always been decent, and he would not do such a thing." ”

This is very straightforward against Mrs. Su, Mrs. Su's face sank: "You should have asked the second child, the fifth family, you go and write a letter to your second brother, Tian Niangzi is pregnant, there can be no mistakes, it is very likely that the second son in her belly!" Just stay in the house to raise the baby first, and you will take care of it first. ”

"Mother!" Chen was in a hurry and hurriedly called.

Mrs. Su glanced at her coldly, "This matter is so decided, the matter of receiving the house, wait for the second child to have news!" ”

Mrs. Su's attitude is actually a disguised admission that the child in Tian Niangzi's belly is Su Zhixun's, otherwise why would she leave people in her own home? Still need to take good care of it?

It is easy to invite the Buddha and it is difficult to send the Buddha, as long as the person is left, it is an admission of the unclear relationship between Su Zhixun and Tian Niangzi!

This has a great impact on Su Zhixun, the scholar attaches the most importance to reputation, Su Zhixun is still an official, during his tenure abroad, making such an affair is very unfavorable to his official reputation, so that when he is promoted in the future, he is likely to be used as a reason for attack by political enemies.

Mrs. Su didn't care where this Tian Niangzi came from, and she didn't care if the child in her belly was the flesh and blood of the Su family, but she knew that as long as she left people behind, it would be a heavy blow to Su Zhixun.

Even if it is confirmed that the child is not Su Zhixun's in the future, no one will believe it, the impact has been caused, who knows whether it is true or not, and no one knows, but Su Zhixun's romantic impression is solid.

So Mrs. Su couldn't wait to leave Tian Niangzi, and her attitude was even more positive than Tian Niangzi.

Even if the Chen family has no room for beak in this matter, because Mrs. Su is an elder, and the elders are in charge, if she opposes it, others will say that she is unfilial, and they will also say that she is jealous and can't tolerate her husband's favor.

Jealousy and unfilial piety are almost unforgivable crimes for a woman.

And no one will doubt Mrs. Su's motives, because she is completely thinking about her stepson, and no one will say that giving a concubine to her stepson with a thin heir is to harm him.

Therefore, the Chen family couldn't object, and couldn't even show the slightest dissatisfaction, and had to happily take Tian Niangzi back.

The fifth wife's eyes rolled, and then she said to Chen: "Yo, second sister-in-law, this is a matter of listening to Yuxuan, I, as a younger brother and sister, is really not good to manage in the uncle's room, in this way, if you see what you need, just send someone to pass on a message, I will arrange it for you, although Tian Niangzi is from a lower background, but after all, the flesh and blood of the second brother in the stomach is not?" ”

Chan was crumbling, his mind cloudy.

A flash of anger flashed in Su Yunlai's eyes, she looked at Mrs. Five, and curled the corners of her lips: "Thank you Aunt Five, it's still Aunt Fifth who is thoughtful!" But taking care of pregnant women, my mother really has no experience. My mother has always said that she envy the fifth aunt, it is because of your virtuous and generous that the fifth uncle will have so many heirs, and I am afraid that I will have to ask you for advice to take care of Tian Niangzi, what things should I prepare? Although this child has not yet been determined to be my father's, it is still a human life, and it is not good to slack off. ”

Mrs. Five's face sank, and she snorted lightly, this matter was ordered by Mrs. Su, and she really couldn't help it.

The fifth wife walked out of Lingyun Courtyard and ordered someone to prepare things in the room, and the more angry she was in her heart while preparing, thinking that she was a wife in charge, and she still had to worry about such a thing that couldn't be put on the table!

The fifth lady glanced back at Lingyun Courtyard, and a sneer appeared at the corner of her mouth, hmph, it's not her who should be worried about now!

Tian Niangzi is also a smart person, and after receiving the words of the old lady, she was lightly blessed, and said with a grateful face: "Thank you old lady, the old lady is the reborn parents of our mother and son, and the concubine is really grateful!" ”

Mrs. Su nodded kindly: "You are still pregnant with a child, just go and rest, don't worry, with me, no one in this house can bully you, you can raise the baby with peace of mind, I will write a letter to the second child, let him come back to see you as soon as possible." This is a warning to Chen.

Tian Niangzi's face turned crimson and nodded lightly.

Chen walked out of Lingyun Courtyard with a heavy face, and Su Yunlai followed behind her with a worried face.

Su Yunlai opened his mouth and wanted to persuade her a few words, but he still didn't open his mouth, because in the previous life, Su Zhixun also accepted a concubine.

Although it is not this Tian Niangzi, but a woman surnamed Lin.

It was after Chen and Su Yun went back and forth to the capital, taking advantage of the fact that there was no one around Su Zhixun, and it became a matter after getting drunk when Su Zhixun was entertaining guests, Su Zhixun then accepted people into the mansion, although this Aunt Lin's means of entering the mansion were not very clever, but she soon became pregnant and gave birth to a son to Su Zhixun, thus gaining a firm foothold in the mansion.

However, this Aunt Lin was arranged by Mrs. Su, and in order to avoid this incident from happening again, Su Yunlai had already arranged it by Su Zhixun's side before she left, but she didn't expect that Aunt Lin did not appear this time, but there was a Tian Niangzi.

Su Yunlai is not sure what the situation of this Tian Niangzi is.

"Mother, this Tian Niangzi, the origin is unknown, and it looks like a scheming person, don't be sad first, we asked my father first before making plans." Su Yunlai persuaded him.

Chen bit his lower lip tightly, but there was a stubbornness in his eyes, "Don't ask! It's all up to the old lady! ”

This is believing Tian Niangzi's words.

Su Yunlai wanted to persuade again, but this time Chen was like an iron heart, and he didn't say a word.

Su Yunlai and Mama Lan glanced at each other, and both sighed helplessly.

When Chen returned to Tingyuxuan, he locked himself in the house, and no one was seen, even Su Yunlai was closed.

Su Yunlai had no choice but to turn around and go back to his room, and as soon as he went out, he met Su Zhan.

"Where's that?! Where's that mean woman? Third Young Master Su's eyes were full of anger, and he asked menacingly.

Su Yunlai's head hurt all of a sudden, and in order to prevent him from making things bigger, Su Yunlai pulled him into his yard.

"I heard you've got a big belly? Now there are so many women who climb dragons and phoenixes that they even have children! What about people now? Su Zhan asked angrily.

Su Yunlai was a little helpless: "The old lady has already let people settle down in the house." ”

"In the house?" Su Zhan looked shocked: "How could grandmother let such a woman of unknown origin stay in the mansion?" ”

Su Yunlai evoked a mocking smile: "The woman kept saying that what was in her belly was her father's flesh and blood, what could the old lady do, naturally she left the child behind, saying that she had asked her father before she planned it." ”

Su Zhan's expression was obscure, and everyone didn't think that Su Zhixun had a queen, even if he had a son, and he was an excellent and intelligent son, just because Su Zhan was not in good health, everyone thought that he couldn't raise him.

Su Yunlai is a daughter, but he is a son, and for Su Zhan, this matter is like stabbing the most sensitive nerve in his heart.

"What about you, do you also want this child to be the father's? Hopefully this is a son who can inherit incense for his father? Su Zhan looked at Su Yunlai and asked.

Su Yun looked at him and said seriously: "I think it's enough for my father to have us," after a pause, she continued: "Anyway, my daughter is not as sensible as me, and my son is not as smart as you, so what's the use of coming?" ”

Obviously, he should be angry, but when he heard Su Yunlai say this, Su Zhan inexplicably felt a little like laughing, and the depression in his heart gradually dissipated.

"What's more, it's not certain whose child this child is." Su Yunlai said meaningfully.

Su Zhan was stunned for a moment, and instinctively looked at Su Yunlai: "You mean ......?"

Su Yunlai said lightly: "A pregnant woman, rushed to the capital from Lingnan, if she didn't have some support, I was afraid that she wouldn't be able to get to the capital, this woman said that she was oppressed by her brother and sister-in-law at home, but her face was ruddy, her skin was fair, and her hands were also very delicate, where did she look like she was having a bad life?" This woman is not only unknown, but also a bad person. ”

Su Yun looked at Su Zhan: "My cousin is about to return to the capital, and my father has been operating in Lingnan for several years, and now that he has qualifications, he can rise up the net, but if there is an affair at this time, I am afraid it will be unfavorable to my father." ”

Su Zhan slowly furrowed his brows, and then asked, "Who do you think will do this?" ”

"Left and right are just people who can't see our good." Su Yunlai said lightly: "Now we still have to figure out what is going on with the child in her belly." ”

Su Zhan nodded.

Su Yunlai didn't want Su Zhan to get involved in too many backyard women's fights, and would tell him so much, just to reassure him, so that he wouldn't be provoked and impulsively do something wrong.

"But third brother, you have to do me a favor." Su Yunlai said.

……

The fourth wife also knew about the farce in Lingyun Courtyard, and when she came back, she lost her temper fiercely, and Su Jie did not escape her punishment.

"It's the second room that harms the mother who is punished, and the son just wants to breathe a sigh for the mother, what's wrong with doing this?" Su Jie said stubbornly with a stiff neck.

The fourth wife knew that he would change his letter, and the main purpose was actually not to let her deal with Wufang, so as not to make the fifth wife suffer, Su Jie did this for Zhou Yan.

In the end, it was his own son, he was distressed, and there was no way to do it, so he had to make a mistake, but because of this incident, the fourth wife's dissatisfaction with Zhou Yan deepened a lot, and after she entered the door in the future, her attitude towards her was also very cold, but she became closer to Du Yue.

That's for later.

……

Su Yunlai received Su Zhixun's letter, and it was supposed to take more than a month to go back and forth from the capital to Lingnan at the earliest, but Su Yunlai asked Su Zhan to ask His Royal Highness the eldest grandson for help, and wrote a letter to Su Zhixun to ask about Tian Niangzi, so he received a reply after more than 20 days of opening more than normal than normal.

It's just that it was not Su Zhixun who replied to the letter, but Su Zheng, the right-hand man next to Su Zhixun, in the letter, Su Zheng said that their master had never been entangled with other women, and the child in the belly of this Tian Niangzi could never be Su Zhixun's.

Su Zheng and Su Zhixun have always been inseparable, and Su Zheng's words are credible, which also makes Su Yunlai feel a little relieved.

This shows that Tian Niangzi really found someone to specifically target their second room.

After Su Zhan knew, he also breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Su Yunlai: "I don't understand, what is the purpose of their doing this?" Can a fake become a real one? ”

"I have already said the purpose, it can separate the relationship between my father and my mother, and make us suspicious of my father, of course, the most important point is to ruin my father's official reputation." Su Yunlai said calmly.

"And who do you think did this?"

Su Yunlai said lightly: "The left and right are just people in this mansion who can't see our good." ”

Su Zhan looked at Su Yunlai: "You don't want to think about it, just let them calculate us like this?" ”

Su Yunlai gently hooked the corners of his lips: "Calculate us, I'm afraid that in the end, we will pick up a stone and hit our own feet." ”

Su Zhan looked at her indifferent expression, and her heart moved: "You already have a plan?" ”

"It's not the time yet." Su Yun said.

Mama Lan on the side was already anxiously said: "Miss, if there is a way, we have to solve it as soon as possible, don't you see, Mrs. has not been thinking about tea and dinner recently, and she can't sleep well at night, and she has lost a lot of weight." ”

Su Yunlai frowned slightly, groaned for a while, and said, "Mama Lan, you go and help me check, when will the fourth uncle come back." ”

Mama Lan was stunned for a moment, but she was strange in her heart, didn't she talk about Tian Niangzi's matter, why did she get involved with the fourth master again? However, thinking that Su Yunlai probably had his own intentions, he nodded and turned around and went out.

Su Zhan looked at Su Yunlai: "What are you going to do?" ”

Su Yunlai picked up the silver scissors on the table and gently flicked the wick: "It's just to treat others in the way of others." ”

Mama Lan came back soon, "Miss, the slave maid inquired, the fourth master has been out for too long this time, the old lady got angry and asked people to write a letter to him back, but the fourth master heard that there is a pair of red-mouthed brothers in Tianjin, and he went to buy birds again, and this day should be back soon." ”

Hearing the fourth master's behavior, the corners of Su Yunlai's mouth twitched, and then he said: "You go and check again, who arranged the person who served Tian Niangzi, remember, quietly, don't let people find out." ”

Mama Lan nodded and hurried away again.
