Chapter 279: Regret (1)
Shen Yuechen has always felt that there is no word "regret" in his life, not because of how chic he lives, but because he lives too carefully, and rarely makes mistakes and mistakes......
She has always done things, likes to go with the flow, does not force, does not ask for extravagance, just wants to live a simple and stable life, occasionally swallows her anger, and does not feel wronged, just as an inevitable part of this otherworldly life.
Shen Yuechen thought that he had already thought about it and was ready, but when Zhu Jintang really left, he still felt empty in his heart, and it was so empty that it made people panic......
The day after Zhu Jintang left, life at home returned to normal, but it became a little quieter, especially in the west courtyard, where everyone was working diligently, cautiously in words and deeds, and very cautious.
Li Shi came over early, and when he saw Shen Yuechen's ruddy complexion and gentle expression, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
In order to reassure her, Shen Yuechen deliberately ate half a bowl of porridge.
Sure enough, Li Shi saw that she was eating with relish, and smiled: "That's right." No matter how reluctant you are in your heart, for the sake of your children, you still have to eat well and rest well. Seeing you so sensible, our hearts are also steady. ”
A glimmer of light flashed in Shen Yuechen's eyes, and he said lightly: "Yuechen is not good, let you worry about me again." ”
Li Shi shook his head: "I'm also from here, how can I not understand your feelings?" However, this is also something that cannot be helped, and it is good to get used to it in the future. ”
Back then, when Zhu Feng was young, he often went far away, and he often went for more than half a year.
Li Thi will hold a heart for him all day long, and he can't eat well and sleep well. She has also worked hard all the way from that time, so she can understand Shen Yuechen's feelings very well.
After a while, Li Shi went over to call the old lady back, saying that Shen Yuechen was doing everything as usual, so that she could rest assured.
The old lady nodded lightly and said, "It's best if she can think clearly." Her heart is comfortable, and the child in her belly can grow up well. ”
Li Shi echoed: "Yes, the first three months are the most important. Moreover, she is the first child again...... I always feel at ease here. ”
After all, something had just happened to the Chai family, and the living examples were there, which made her even more worried.
The old lady said: "Speaking of which, with her thin body and bones, if she is also pregnant with a pair of twins, it will be difficult for eighty percent to give birth smoothly." ”
Li Shi hurriedly said: "I don't expect any twins, as long as she can give birth to a boy for Jintang safely." ”
The old lady nodded slightly and said, "Yes, you can't be too greedy." There is one more boy in the long room, and one more brother in Brother Ming, which is the best thing for our Zhu family. ”
Having said this, Li Shi couldn't help but be a little worried. If it's a boy, it's great, but if it's a girl, it's a bit unsatisfactory.
It is often said that once the luck of giving birth to a daughter comes, it is not easy to send it away. The Chai family had already given birth to one, and wouldn't it be bad if she brought this luck to Shen Yuechen.
Thinking of this, Li Shi hurriedly shook his head secretly, only to feel that he was thinking too much. Now, Shen Yuechen's body has not yet shown her pregnancy, so it is not clear from her stomach for the time being, whether it is a man or a woman.
Li Shi reminded himself that he must calm down and not be in a hurry.
In the summer, the sun always sets late.
At dusk, Shen Yuechen always likes to hold a bowl of warm milk, sit by the window, and watch the sunset. I wondered if Zhu Jintang was like her at this time, watching the sunset and quietly thinking about his family in the distance.
Chun Ming stood aside, looked at her contemplative side face, sighed secretly, beckoned to Cui Xin, and motioned for her to go outside to talk.
Cui Xin hurriedly followed, and whispered, "Sister, what's the matter?" ”
Chun Ming didn't speak, just pointed in the direction of the inner room, and asked softly: "It's been more than ten days, and you found that Miss Wu is in a daze at this time every day." ”
After listening to this, Cui Xin just nodded and said, "Yes, Miss always likes to stay alone quietly at this time." Sister should go out with me, don't disturb Miss. ”
Chun Ming nodded, but she was still a little uneasy, and looked back step by step.
Half a month later,
A fast horse stopped outside the gate of Zhu's house, and on the horseback sat a young man, dressed as a small servant, with a dark face and sweaty forehead, and at a glance he knew that he had come back from a long journey.
He is a small servant accompanying Zhu Jintang, named Zhu Sanjin, because he was exchanged for three catties of white flour from the traffickers by the second steward of the Zhu family, and he has no name or surname, so he was given a three-catty name by the Zhu family.
Zhu Sanjin was in a hurry, and he was ordered by the eldest young master to come back and deliver a letter to his family.
He came back in the dust, sweated profusely, and came to the old man and the old lady to report that everything was safe in Zhu Jintang, so that the family could rest assured.
Halfway through the journey, Zhu Jintang sent someone back to report the news, because the letter was too slow, so people hurried back.
When the old lady heard that Zhu Jintang was safe and sound, she smiled with a smile on her face, and only said: "Three catties, the eldest young master is out alone, you have to take care of him, and you have to send someone back from time to time." ”
Zhu Sanjin responded again and again.
The old man then waved his hand and said, "You have also worked hard along the way, go down first to wash your face and clean up." ”
After he left, the old lady silently recited the Buddha in her heart, looked at her husband and said with a smile: "Jintang, this child, used to send someone to bring back a letter when he arrived at the place, but now, there is one more person in his heart, and his heart is also anxious. ”
When Old Man Zhu heard this, he also smiled and said, "Where is there one more person, it is clearly two people." The little man in the stomach is the most painful. ”
The old lady nodded, "No, there are two more people in my heart at once." ”
Old Man Zhu pondered for a moment and said: "This year, our Zhu family's luck is good, and there are many good things in the family, although there are also unsatisfactory places, but they have all been solved smoothly." When nylon becomes a parent, our family will be completely lively. ”
The old lady said approvingly: "What the master said is that the more children in the family, the more lively it is." ”
At this time, Zhu Jinlun has already left home and is on the way to welcome his relatives, and the family is also making final preparations step by step.
However, although it is a happy event, there are also some people who are happy and some who are worried.
After Zhu Jinlun left, Xiao Tao had to move out of his room. It was for a new house, and it took a lot of work to decorate it, and it wasn't a place she could occupy alone.
Xiao Tao went back to his room, scared all day long, and guarded against the ill-intentioned cuckoo openly and secretly. In terms of food, clothing, housing and transportation, he was careful everywhere, not that he didn't eat the things that Xia Jiu brought him, or that he didn't drink the soup sent by Xia Jiu, even if he suddenly wanted to eat something occasionally, he would endure it alone, wait until the daytime, and then send Xia Jiu out to buy it back.
Although the Chai family understood that she was pregnant, and also asked her to send two little maids to serve her, Xiao Tao was full of suspicion of them, and except for letting them do some rough work, they were not allowed to touch the rest.
Xia Jiu served her alone, although she was diligent, but there were times when she was not taken care of.
It's the height of summer, and the scorching heat can't help but make people a little impetuous.
On this day, Xiao Tao had just had lunch and had just put down the dishes and chopsticks, when he smelled a strange fragrance wafting from the courtyard.
The fragrant smell combined with the heat suddenly made her feel a little sick to her stomach.
Before Xia Jiu could smell what the smell was, he saw that Xiao Tao on the other side had already leaned over and retched.
She was so frightened that she thought it was something mixed with the meal, so she hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with the girl?" ”
Xiao Tao smelled the pungent fragrance, and her stomach tumbled for a while, which was very uncomfortable, and after calming down for a while, she frowned and said, "What kind of smell is this?" Where did it come from? ”
Xia Jiu looked out of the window, and saw that there were two maids in the courtyard who were carrying a large pot of steaming things to this side, followed by the smiling cuckoo, and couldn't help but be startled, and said, "Girl, that cuckoo is here to stir up trouble again." ”
When Xiao Tao heard this, her brows furrowed even tighter.
Seeing Xia Jiu standing in front of the window, looking at the ground uneasily, the cuckoo couldn't help but purse his lips and smile: "If you want to see it, you can look at it generously, why bother to look like a thief, a ghost worshipped." ”
When Xia Jiu heard this, he took the first step to stand at the door, glared at Du Juan and the two little girls, and asked in a loud voice, "Our girl is resting, what are you going to do?" ”
She couldn't remember the first time. Since, after the second young master went out to greet his relatives, Du Juan often brought people over, a small trouble for three days, and a big trouble for five days, although he would not do anything with his hands and feet, but he always picked some ugly words to say, deliberately embarrassing and uncomfortable.
I came over at lunchtime, so I can see that I came to find fault again.
The cuckoo raised his feet and entered the house, and when he saw that the dishes and chopsticks on the table had not been put away, he smiled and said, "Look, I came here by coincidence, my sister is having lunch." Come on, come and try the tonic soup I prepared for my sister. After speaking, he beckoned the maid behind him to bring up the big pot of hot soup.
Xiao Tao couldn't stand the smell of the strong fragrance, so she hurriedly covered her mouth and nose with a handkerchief, for fear that she would smell it more and become nauseous.
"What are you?"
Seeing her retreat again and again, the smile on her face became stronger, and she personally took out a soup spoon and brought out a bowl for her, gently placed it on the table, and said, "It's so dignified, what is my sister hiding?" It's just a bowl of soup, as for scaring you like that? ”
She said it easily, but in her heart she felt very happy, scooped the soup in the bowl with a spoon, and said with a smile: "This is fragrant broth, which is very nourishing, and I put a lot of meat for my sister." ”
Fragrant meat? Xiao Tao was slightly stunned, and then thought that the fragrant meat was not dog meat?
She is in the midst of a bad mood, and she is very sensitive to the smell of too meaty and greasy, and sometimes she wants to vomit just by smelling it......
The cuckoo clearly deliberately made her lose her appetite when she was eating, so that she could not eat well.
Xiao Taoqiang held back the nausea in his chest and said, "I don't drink it." Xia Jiu, you hurry up and bring out the soup, and throw it as far away as possible. ”
When Xia Jiu heard this, he was about to take a step, but he saw that the cuckoo raised his hand slightly and sprinkled the soup in the bowl directly on the ground.
The hot soup is boiling, and if it is sprinkled directly on the surface of people's feet, it has to be scalded.
Xiao Tao's heart sank, and the anger in her chest was rising, thinking, when will such a day be a head? When the second young master came back, there was still nearly a month to go, if Du Juan had been harassing her endlessly and bullying her, then the child in her womb would definitely not be able to be saved......
She asked Wu's mother for help before, but in the end, all she got was lessons and advice.
She didn't want to get to that point, but Cuckoo was so aggressive, it was really unbearable. Perhaps, it is really only by exchanging a life for a life that she can live the life she wants......
The cuckoo took out a bowl again and handed it to Xiao Tao, but when she still didn't drink it, she sprinkled it directly on the ground.
The thick soup filled the floor and the smell of broth all over the house.
Xiao Tao endured it for a while, and finally couldn't help it, and immediately leaned down and vomited.
Seeing this, the cuckoo couldn't help but sigh: "How is this good? It's a pity that my sister is so badly hurt that I'm afraid I won't be able to eat anything good. However, if this continues, the child in my sister's womb will suffer......"
Xia Jiu stepped forward to stroke Xiao Tao's back, and said with red eyes: "You guys are really too much." The girl is also the uncle's child, you go on making trouble endlessly, hurting the child, and the second young master will definitely not spare you when you turn around. ”
Hearing this, the cuckoo just sneered: "You can't say that. I haven't touched a single hair of her, and if she can't keep the baby, it's her own unhappiness. ”
The cuckoo was holding her breath early in her heart, wanting to teach her a good lesson.
Last time, because she played tricks, she almost made the second young master completely ignore her, and she lost the help of the second lady, so she had the opportunity to return to the second young master's side to do things.
Although it is not as decent as before, it can also have a chance to take revenge.
In order to save trouble, the cuckoo directly sprinkled the whole pot of soup, so that the soup flowed all over the ground. And she herself took a few steps back, looked at Xiao Tao Yingying and smiled: "Isn't my sister very good at pretending?" Why didn't this make a little noise like last time, and wronged me for bullying you? ”
Xiao Tao's eyes were red from spitting, and the slightly beating green tendons were faintly visible on her forehead, she held Xia Jiu's hand and stood steadily.
"I haven't wronged you, if I hadn't fought back, would I still be standing here today? You know best what is going on in your heart. Since the first day I came to the Second Young Master, you have made things difficult for me in every way, bullied me everywhere, and wished I had died! ”
The smile on the cuckoo's face faded a little, and the two maids behind her saw that the situation was not good, and they all hid, for fear of hearing something that should not be heard and seeing something that should not be seen.
Xiao Tao stood at the window, took a breath of fresh air, and continued: "You want me to die, and you want the child in my belly to die, but unfortunately, I won't let you get your wish." No matter how much you toss like this, no matter how calculating you are, don't want to hurt the child in my belly. ”
When the cuckoo saw her swearing, she felt funny, and couldn't help but say, "You are really courageous." Don't you understand? If the second young master is not here, no one in the Zhu family will be able to protect you? Don't think that if you are pregnant with a child, the second lady will feel sorry for you, she is now upset every day about the extra piece of meat in your belly. The new second young grandmother is about to pass through the door, and the position of the eldest son in the second room should be her child, not the concubine born by you, a little slut. If it's not good, even if I really get rid of the piece of meat in your belly, the second lady won't be harsh on me. You know why? Because she doesn't care about that piece of rotten meat in your stomach! The most important thing for the Zhu family is the sons and grandsons, you are not even a concubine, the child born is just a concubine who is used as a footstool, and he has been angry and tired all his life, and in the end he can't get anything! Like you, you are destined to be bullied and humiliated in the future! ”
After hearing this, Xiao Tao's face suddenly turned pale and bloodless.
Seeing that she was trembling with anger, Du Juan felt a little more refreshed, and continued to say happily: "To be honest, for the sake of the second young master, I originally wanted to be nice to you, but unfortunately you are too bad to come, how do you look at it?" If you can become smarter and kneel down and kowtow to me and admit your mistakes, I may look at you pleasing to the eye, but unfortunately, you are born to be a person who has no brains and does not understand the color of the eyes. This huge Zhu family, if you just want to cling to the second young master alone, you are destined to not live. ”
Xiao Tao said coldly: "Do you want me to slap you?" Dream! You can look down on me, but you must not look down on the child in my belly. He is the child of the second master and the child of the Zhu family, if you really dare to touch him, you don't want to live. ”
The cuckoo's eyes suddenly became extremely sharp, and swept over Xiao Tao's stomach fiercely, wishing to turn his eyes into a knife and directly cut her belly......
"I won't touch you, lest you get your hands dirty. That's how you eat and drink well every day. I'd like to see how hard that rotten piece of meat in your belly is? ”
The cuckoo has learned a lesson from the previous one, and will never really do anything reckless.
Now, the second lady Chai is busy with the wedding banquet on the one hand, and she has to take care of the third lady on the other hand, she is very busy, and she lacks skills, where can she take care of Xiao Tao and the child in her womb......
The second young master was not there, and when the cuckoo started to do things, it became as smooth sailing as before. Although everyone knows that she is at odds with Xiao Tao and was once disliked by the second young master, her favor by the second lady's side is still not to be underestimated.
Du Juan deliberately didn't make any big moves, but deliberately found some small things to annoy her every day, so that she couldn't eat well, sleep well, and not mention raising her body to have a good baby.
As the doctor said, the first three months are the most critical and the most dangerous, so even if something really happens to her, it is better to use excuses to pass it perfunctorily.
Xiao Tao's expression was slightly in a trance, and her heart suddenly hardened inch by inch, and she secretly made up her mind, and said in a deep voice: "You will regret it." ”
The cuckoo smiled coldly: "Let's wait and see, see who regrets it first!" ”
Xiao Tao's eyes flashed, "I will definitely make you regret it." ”
Not to be outdone, the cuckoo said, "I will definitely let you kneel at my feet and kowtow and beg for mercy." ”
