Chapter 40 [Raising a Concubine]

The next morning, as soon as Ye Junyi woke up, he reached out to touch his side, but it was empty, and he couldn't help but feel a burst of resentment in his heart, his whole body was sore and painful, and he slapped his ass and disappeared.

"Ma'am, you're awake."

Qiu Ju, who was sitting on the chair next to the bed and making needle red, saw that the people in the tent were moving, so he hurriedly put down his work and came up to hang up the tent.

"Oh, Qiu Ju." Ye Junyi hurriedly wrapped the quilt tightly around his body, "Why did you come in?" You go out for a while. ”

"What's wrong? Madam," Qiu Ju was a little surprised to see her movements and tone strange, "When the official office called the master away, when the master left, he asked the slave maid to come in early to wait for the lady, and also asked the fragrant soup to be prepared. Said that the lady would get up and take a bath. ”

"Oh."

Ye Junyi's face turned red, but he didn't expect this to be so thoughtful. When she took advantage of Qiu Ju's inattention, she secretly shrank her head to the quilt, checked it, and let out a sigh of relief, her clothes were neatly dressed. After the incident last night, she was so tired that she was weak, and she fell asleep dizzily after a while, and in a trance, it seemed that Xu Ziqian brought the clean water to the bed, carefully tried the traces of love for her, and tidied up her clothes.

"Madame," Qingyu also brought a stack of sheets over at this time, "Madame, do you want to take a rest in the house today?" Let the stewards talk back tomorrow. ”

"Don't," Ye Junyi held up, "Things are pressed day by day, and if there is too much backlog, it can't be dealt with." ”

"What about moving the house today?" Qingyu looked at Ye Junyi with some concern.

"Oh," she patted her head, this place is too crowded to live, and the maid has no place to live, and Xu Ziqian has some business documents here, and it is not convenient to live.

"That Qingyu helped me collect my lost things, and when I went to the tent later, we will go directly to Beiyuan."

Ye Junyi hurriedly cleaned himself up and instructed, now that it was past the hour, it seemed that the day's affairs were over.

Ye Junyi hurried to the account room, and after dealing with all the locks in the house, she didn't mention it here, and said that she was busy until the next minute of noon.

Qiu Ju had already prepared a car to wait for her outside the tent, and when she saw her come out, she greeted her.

"Madam," Qiu Ju replied while helping her into the car, "The old lady sent someone there, saying that she would let you finish the affairs of the house and go over there for lunch, saying that the two girls were making a lot of noise, and the old lady had a headache." ”

"Well, go ahead." Ye Junyi replied helplessly, she held on all morning, she had no strength in her body, thinking that she would have to deal with a sad old lady and two naughty concubines later, and her head was two big.

"Mother, mother, here!"

As soon as Ye Junyi got out of the car, the two concubines rushed out of the small courtyard and called her happily.

"Jingyi, Zhenyi." She hugged her second daughter in her hands and kissed each other, "Mother has been busy these two days, are you naughty and unhappy with your grandmother again?"

"It's Jingyi, it's Jingyi." Zhenyi jumped, pointing at Jingyi and waiting for the Lord, "Jingyi made Grandmother angry." ”

"Oh?"

Jingyi listened, her little face was swollen and red, she lowered her head, and her little hands kept rubbing the corners of her clothes.

"Jingyi," this child has always been quiet and well-behaved, Ye Junyi really didn't believe that she would do anything out of the ordinary, "What's going on, tell your mother, okay?" ”

"Xiao Huanhuan," Jing Yi whispered, "Jing Yi's little Huanhuan is not naughty. ”

"Jingyi's little Huanhuan bites Mimi." Zhen Yi danced hand to supplement Zhen Yi's words.

"No," Jingyi listened, sobbing and retorted loudly, "Xiao Huanhuan no, mother, Xiao Huanhuan is not naughty, woo......"

"What's going on?" Ye Junyi listened to the words of the two, and was a little inexplicable, so he turned his head and asked a woman in her thirties who was chasing the second daughter next to her.

"Madame Hui," replied the woman, "the old lady has a Persian cat, and she loves it, but this morning she found that she had been bitten to death." Everyone said that the puppy fed by the eldest girl bit it, and the old lady wanted to beat it to death, but the eldest girl refused, and the grandparents and grandchildren were making trouble. ”

"No, no," Jingyi stomped her feet and cried when she heard this, "Huanhuan has been sleeping with Jingyi by Jingyi's bedside and has not gone out." ”

"Okay, Jingyi is good," Ye Junyi wiped away Jingyi's tears with a handkerchief, "Mother go and ask grandmother, what's going on, okay?" However, if Huanhuan really made a mistake, he would be punished, you know? ”

"Hmm." Jingyi nodded obediently.

Coaxed Jingyi, Ye Junyi took the second daughter's hand and walked into the house. When I walked outside, I saw a table full of dishes on the table in the house, and a few maids standing next to it, but the old lady was nowhere to be seen.

"Madam," at this moment, Lu Shi walked out of the back room, and when he saw her, he walked forward excitedly, "You are here, you see, this noon is almost over, and the old lady still refuses to eat, if it is ....."

Ye Junyi listened, nodded, handed over the two girls to the maid, and entered the back room.

As soon as she stepped into the house, she saw the old man leaning on the couch with a haggard face, and Qian Hongying was persuading her.

"Mother," Ye Junyi walked forward to bless a blessing, "How did this happen?" How can you get angry and hungry? ”

"Well, get up." Mother Xu raised her hand weakly, "These girls are getting more and more difficult to manage, alas! ”

"Mother," Ye Junyi stepped forward and stroked her hand on the side of the couch, "No matter how important Mimi is, it is not as important as your body." And Jingyi is not a foolish girl, she said that Huanhuan has been sleeping next to her bed, is there something else that is doing weird? ”

"Do you hear her? Look at poor Mimi, how fierce is it not that dog? When I saw it like this, I thought of my sister, what a look, pitiful! Mother Xu's eyes turned red and tears fell, "I thought that I would help Qian'er bring up these girls like the clansmen, but, but I can't control it now, you can eat later, so take them with you." ”

"The daughter-in-law has to take it, but the mother also has to take care of herself," he said, taking a bowl of rice that Lu brought over in the morning, and feeding it to her mouth with a spoon, "My mother is the most dear and reliable person, and he is very busy in the official office, if his mother is broken, won't he make him worry in vain?" Besides, this world is so sinister, if the mother has anything to do, who can the father and daughter-in-law rely on in the future? ”

"Did you see that man? I heard Hongying say, you saw him last time, didn't you? The old lady listened to her words, and even more tears rushed down, "Yes, that person is so ruthless to Qian'er, and those people are eager to swallow Qian'er alive, if I go, will he remember the good of my mother and son in the old days, and take care of my son one or two?" ”

"Therefore, mothers should take care of themselves." Seeing this, Ye Junyi's eyes were also red, she put down the spoon, took the handkerchief in Qian Hongying's hand, and tried the tears on her face.

"Hmm."

Mother Xu finally took the bowl and chewed the rice carefully.

Ye Junyi served Xu's mother and cooked, and personally helped her to the bed, letting her sleep peacefully for a while, before turning around and going to the outhouse. The two little girls were quiet today and ate obediently.

Beiyuan had already prepared a pair of belongings for the two girls, and they were going to pick them up on this or two days, but Ye Junyi instructed the Lu family to let the maids who were waiting for the two girls clean up the girls' personal belongings on weekdays. She hastily used some meals, and carried the two girls out of the hospital with the rest of the people to prepare to go back.

The old lady finally failed to be ruthless and disposed of her granddaughter's dog, and gave it back to Jingyi, this dog is said to be a typical shepherd dog given to her by Xu Ziqian on Jingyi's fifth birthday, almost as tall as Jingyi, Ye Junyi couldn't figure out how Xu Ziqian could send such a fierce beast to a child.

"Wangwang"

As soon as he was discharged from the hospital, the dog barked wildly, leading a seventeen or eighteen-year-old maid, who couldn't hold it at this time, and was dragged a few steps by it.

"Huanhuan, Huanhuan obediently."

Jingyi stepped forward to pet and call its name, this dog is also human, and when he heard it, he stopped barking, but he still whimpered, and his head turned to the side.

Seeing this, Ye Junyi couldn't help but feel a move in his heart, I heard that this shepherd dog is the most humane, and in the bitter cold land, a few can help herd thousands of sheep. This Huanhuan barked so much, could it be that there were really other fierce beasts next to this house?

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but walk forward towards the place where Huanhuan barked. didn't take a few steps, but the Lu family hurriedly walked from the old lady's house, and saw that Ye Junyi and his party hadn't left yet, and couldn't help but be stunned.

"Where are you going?" Ye Junyi asked her.

"This ......" Lu Shi looked at a small house outside the front courtyard in embarrassment, pulled Ye Junyi aside and said, "Madam, this is the case, that Mimi was the old lady's sister - the old lady gave up with the old lady when she was alive, and she has been with her for many years, so she is willing to discard it so hastily?" instructed the slave and maid to prepare a coffin and bury it in the peony garden, next to the aunt and wife. ”

"Oh? So Mimi was placed in there and hasn't been disposed of yet? Ye Junyi asked her.

"Yes." Lu replied very uncomfortably.

Ye Junyi listened, lifted his feet and walked over, and when he entered the house, he put a small coffin in the middle, with paper candles and spirit cards readily available, and even two little maids guarding the spirit. Ye Junyi saw this very absurd scene, shook his head, walked to the coffin and saw the dead cat inside, and couldn't help but breathe - there were two holes in the cat's neck, one was cut off in the front throat, and the other was at the two large blood veins on the side.

"Mama Lu," she took a deep breath and stopped Lu, "This matter is not busy, and we can only deal with Mimi after the Hou Ye comes back to make it clear." ”

"No need," Lu Shi leaned into her ear and said, "I don't dare to tell the old lady about this, I understand the human habitat that has seen Mama Li's body." Hongying has already asked the Jin guards to come and inspect it, and tomorrow she will find an excuse to let the old lady move to another place. ”

"Well," Ye Junyi nodded, "You must protect the old lady thoroughly." ”

"Yes," Lu replied, "Although Hongying is disrespectful to her wife, she is still very safe in her work, and she has no second thoughts about the old lady. ”

"That's very good."

When Ye Junyi took over the affairs of the mansion, she also knew Qian Hongying's ability and loyalty to the Xu Mansion, and when she heard that she had already arranged it, she didn't say anything at the moment, and took the two girls and a group of subordinates to the new courtyard.
