Some words sound cruel, but the reality is so. Although she can understand her feelings, she can only be considerate.

Shen Yuechen looked at Xiao Tao's obviously sad face, and said lightly: "I heard that the second master loves Qingyue very much, this is a good thing, you should feel content." ”

Most men in ancient times were patriarchal, and it was rare to have a daughter for the first time, and they could be so happy.

Xiao Tao bowed her head and said, "The slave knows that she is already very lucky." Grandma, the slave maid is really reluctant to give this child, and the slave maid feels scared at the thought of handing her over to the second young grandmother...... The second young grandmother hates the slave and the maid to the core, how can she take good care of the slave and the maid's child? ”

Every time she thinks of He Yalin's cold eyes and face with contempt, Xiao Tao feels deeply uneasy, and even, occasionally, she wakes up from her dream and walks to the edge of the small bed to see her daughter to feel at ease.

As soon as the second grandmother entered the door, she was dissatisfied and disgusted with herself.

To be honest, she must have hated herself to death, not only snatched away the favor of the second young master, but also gave birth to a daughter to the second young master.

Xiao Tao didn't believe it, the second young grandmother would really take care of Qingyue regardless of her previous suspicions, and besides, let alone take care of it, she might not even be able to do the most basic intentions......

Shen Yuechen listened to her words and groaned slightly for a moment.

Indeed, in the dispute between wives and concubines, the final victims are often small children.

Although Shen Yuechen stayed at home, she often heard from the mouths of the maids and mothers-in-law that children in the neighborhoods occasionally died in their homes, and most of them were children who were less than three or five years old.

Before the age of three, it is a difficult time for children.

"Don't always think of others so darkly, no matter how bad the second grandmother is, she won't take a baby child to be angry with you."

After Shen Yuechen took a sip of tea, he said lightly.

Xiao Tao shook her head when she heard this, "The slave doesn't believe her, the slave can't believe her." ”

Shen Yuechen's eyes flickered, and she said, "It's not something you can believe or not. Aunt Tao, your identity is here, you should know it in your heart. Qingyue's child is not your child, but the child you gave birth to for your second grandmother. ”

Her words stabbed into Peach's heart like a sharp blade.

Her face was obviously pale, and her body trembled slightly, as if she didn't expect the grandmother's words to be so sharp and ruthless!

Shen Yuechen had no intention of stinging her, but for her, the sooner she accepted the status quo, the more comfortable she would be in the future.

Xiao Tao always thought that the eldest grandmother, although she was a person in the long house and had a high position, must be on her side in her heart, and she would definitely help her.

However, now it seems that she has thought too simply. The grandmother didn't seem to want to help at all......

Xiao Tao subconsciously hugged her infant daughter, gently hooked the corners of her mouth, and sighed: "Isn't the concubine qualified to be a mother?" The slave is her biological mother, conceived in October, and worked hard to give birth to her, is the slave still qualified to be her mother? ”

These words seemed to ask Shen Yuechen again, and it seemed to ask herself again.

Shen Yuechen's eyebrows moved slightly, and she shook her head gently.

While talking, Wu's mother hurried over, and saw Xiao Tao sitting in the room with a sad face on her face, and couldn't help but be slightly surprised: "Why is Aunt Tao here?" ”

Xiao Tao's eyes were filled with tears, and they might fall if she moved a little, so she didn't get up to say hello when she saw Wu's mother coming.

Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Mother Wu looked up at Shen Yuechen and asked her with her eyes, did Xiao Tao have something difficult to do again, and came to complain?

Shen Yuechen looked at Mother Wu and said, "Where is Sister Ying now?" ”

When Mother Wu saw that she suddenly mentioned Sister Ying'er, she reacted for a moment before saying, "Sister Ying'er is playing with Miss Three." ”

Shen Yuechen instructed lightly: "Lao Nu mother helped me bring her over." ”

Mother Wu hesitated a little when she heard this, and then said, "Is it okay if there is no one to serve Miss here?" ”

"Out of the way. Mom, just go and come back quickly. ”

Mother Wu agreed to go out, but her eyes still turned around Xiao Tao's body twice uneasily.

Suddenly, Mother Wu came over with Sister Ying'er.

Sister Ying is half a head taller than last year, and her hair has also grown.

Shen Yuechen personally combed two braids for her early in the morning, which made her feel very happy.

Sister Ying went straight to Shen Yuechen, and after standing by her side, she noticed Xiao Tao on the side.

It was the first time she saw Xiao Tao, and she couldn't help blinking her eyes with a little curiosity, raised her little face and asked, "Mother, who is this good-looking sister?" She still has a baby in her arms? Can I go check it out? ”

Shen Yuechen smiled when she heard this, and only said, "This is Aunt Tao next to your second uncle." Go over and say goodbye. ”

Sister Ying smiled sweetly, ran to Xiao Tao slowly, and saluted: "Hello to my aunt." Auntie, can I see the baby? ”

Xiao Tao originally wanted to cry, but after listening to her delicate voice, she hurriedly eased her emotions and nodded, "Of course you can." ”

As soon as she finished speaking, tears accidentally slipped from the corners of her eyes.

Sister Ying was startled by her tears, she looked up and saw that she had a faint smile on her face, but her eyes were covered with a layer of mist, and she looked like she wanted to cry but couldn't.

Zhu Ying has always been a heart-warming child. Seeing Xiao Tao's tears, she hesitated a little, but raised her little hand and wiped her tears.

Her little hands were gentle, with some kind of soothing power.

Xiao Tao was slightly stunned, looked at Zhu Ying's eyes, and obviously flickered.

Zhu Ying looked at the sleeping baby in swaddling clothes, her eyes were smiling like crescents, she stretched out a finger, gently touched Zhu Qingyue's little face, and then quickly withdrew it.

Shen Yuechen saw her smiling appearance, afraid that she would wake up the child, so he beckoned to her and asked her to come to his side.

Xiao Tao looked at Sister Ying'er, and her eyes became thoughtful.

The eldest grandmother suddenly called Zhu Ying over, was it to remind herself?

Let yourself know that a concubine can also be liked and loved by her family?

Up and down the Zhu family, everyone knows that Shen Yuechen treats Zhu Ying as her own and raises her like a daughter, and because of her relationship, the old lady and the eldest lady also like Zhu Ying very much.

However, not everyone can be so good, and not everyone can be treated equally.

The smile on Xiao Tao's face gradually disappeared, if it was the second grandmother He Yalin, presumably, such a scene would never happen.

Shen Yuechen's intentions were obvious, but Xiao Tao still insisted on her own ideas.

After Zhu Ying left, Xiao Tao, who had already calmed down, spoke again: "Grandma suddenly called the eldest lady, didn't she want to comfort the slave?" ”

Shen Yuechen raised her eyes and said, "Do you think it's effective?" Do you feel better? ”

Xiao Tao shook her head with a wry smile and said, "Although the slave is not very smart, she also knows what it means to be different from person to person. Grandma, you are kind-hearted, and your love for the eldest lady is her blessing and your compassion. But Qingyue is different from the eldest lady, she ......"

As she spoke, Xiao Tao choked up again.

Shen Yuechen raised her hand, signaled her not to continue, and said slowly: "Don't misinterpret what I mean first." Before you feel wronged, I have a few questions for you? ”

"Do you think Sister Ying is a likable child? Let's be honest. ”

Xiao Tao was stunned by her question, and hurriedly said: "The slave maid likes the eldest lady very much, she speaks quietly, understands the rules, and is very caring." ”

Shen Yuechen nodded slightly, and asked again: "Then who do you think educated her like this?" ”

Xiao Tao was stunned again: "Naturally, it's a big grandmother." ”

What does her question really mean?

Shen Yuechen shook her head: "No, Sister Ying only came to me when she was three years old, and her biological mother, Aunt Cao, was responsible for teaching her before. Do you know how much effort Aunt Cao put into teaching her? Sister Ying'er, this child has always been able to look at the eyes and is also very sensible, obviously a child, but she never messes around. ”

Xiao Tao's heart moved when she heard this, and she only said: "What does Grandma mean, do you want me to be the same as Aunt Cao?" The slave maid naturally wants to educate the child well, but the slave maid is afraid that she will not have time. ”

Shen Yuechen smiled slightly: "Three or four years, there is still some." ”

Xiao Tao was puzzled: "What does grandma mean by this?" ”

Shen Yuechen took a sip of tea and continued unhurriedly: "I can help you think of a way to let Qingyue stay by your side for a few more years, but it can only be a few years." For the sake of the child's future, she will have to grow up next to her second grandmother sooner or later. ”

In ancient times, women paid the most attention to their talent and background.

Zhu Qingyue, this child looks like a beautiful embryo, if there is no accident, when she grows up, there will be no fewer people who come to the door to propose marriage. Therefore, even if it is a long-term plan and considering her marriage, it is best and most comprehensive to let her grow up next to her mother-in-law.

After all, it is difficult for a concubine who is not valued by her mother-in-law to find a good family and a good in-law.

Xiao Tao didn't have time to take care of so much, so she hurriedly said: "As long as it is a few years, at least let the slave take care of her, and she can speak sensibly, and I hope that the eldest grandmother will make it clear one or two." ”

Shen Yuechen looked at her and said, "Now, the second grandmother hasn't come back yet, you can prepare slowly." Find a famous and money-greedy Taoist priest, sprinkle some silver on him, and do some dots. After the second grandmother came back, she found an excuse for him to come to see her face, and then said that He would be pregnant within a year, and he should not be too close to the child. ”

Xiao Tao frowned slightly and said, "Can this method work?" "Just finding someone to talk to, can it make He Yalin break his mind?

Shen Yuechen said lightly: "You and I are naturally useless. But when it came to the mouths of those charlatans, they added fuel and vinegar to say that the dead could be said to be alive. If He Yalin is bent on seeking a child, then she will definitely believe it. ”
