Chapter 169: Nothing Matters Less Than a Son
Steward Qi burst into tears, but Qin Xiao was unmoved: "There is only half a pillar of incense left in time."
Steward Qi's face changed suddenly.
The autumn wind was blowing, and the shadow of the sun was getting oblique, but Steward Qi stood at the gate of the surrounded and impenetrable Anguohou Mansion, facing the young master who had always been a cold face and impatient, and the cold sweat on his body was dripping, and it was half a ring, before he suddenly gritted his teeth and squeezed out of the crowd, and quickly ran into the stone lion gate and reported to Mrs. An Guohou.
No one noticed that a big-eyed maid wearing a light green jacket and combing double sideburns, her eyes flashed strangely, and after Steward Qi left, she quietly withdrew from the back of the crowd and ran towards the Begonia Courtyard where Du Ruoyun, the young lady of Anguo Houfu, lived.
The young lady Du Ruoyun has been sitting firmly recently, but she doesn't know why, she is suddenly very afraid of the cold, it is the early autumn weather, but the begonia courtyard where she lives has been burned with earth dragons, and there are several baskets of good silver carbon that need to be consumed every day, of course, this is only the smallest part of Du Ruoyun's many extravagant lives. In fact, since Qin Xiao didn't return to the Hou Mansion all day long, Mrs. An Guohou deliberately indulged Du Ruoyun in these matters, in order to calm her resentment against her son and the Hou Mansion.
The maid was in a hurry, her nose was already dripping with fine sweat, and occasionally a thin wind blew, but she didn't notice it.
When she ran up the steps, she lifted the thick cotton curtain with gold rim and moire at the door, and a heat wave hit her face. The little maid suddenly felt dizzy in her head, and couldn't help but stand still, but before she could catch her breath, a raised and shrill voice floated in the back room: "Kumquat, you cheap hoof, the young lady ordered you to go to the door to inquire about the news, why didn't you come back and report first, but hid at the door and was lazy?" See if I don't tell the young lady to go, let her peel your skin! ”
Kumquat's steaming red cheeks suddenly turned white.
At this time, the person who spoke in the house had already walked out of the house, looked at her proudly, and sneered: "Why, do you want me to carry a sedan chair to invite you?" Don't get in yet! Miss called you! "The tone is as impatient as you are.
Kumquat shuddered for a moment and whispered, "I'm sorry, Sister Qingtong, I'll go right away." ”
The cowardly person in front of him, like someone who snatched the favor of the young lady, Qingtong's eyes seemed to appear in front of Xiao You's cowardly appearance when he first arrived in front of the young lady. Immediately, a thick look of disgust flashed in her eyes, and she waved impatiently: "Go quickly!" ”
Kumquat answered, and hurriedly lowered his head and lifted the curtain and went into the house.
Qingtong didn't want to go in, but she looked at Kumquat's departing figure, and she followed in.
In the house, Kumquat was standing in the center of the room, and was greeting Du Ruoyun who was reclining on the couch.
Du Ruoyun ignored Kumquat, but first said softly to Qingtong: "When you come, sit down, don't be restrained." ”
Qingtong smiled with satisfaction and sat down on the chair that the little maid had moved. Immediately, his eyes swept around the room, and he really didn't see a figure that annoyed her, and he suddenly became proud in his heart: beside the young lady, she Qingtong is the most favored big girl!
After Du Ruoyun instructed Qingtong to sit down, he asked Kumquat softly about the scene at the gate of the Hou Mansion. No matter what time it is, she is always such a gentle picture.
Kumquat's nervousness subsided a little, she took a breath, and recounted the scene she had just seen hiding in the crowd.
After listening to Kumquat's words, Qingtong was already gritting his teeth with hatred: "That Miss Su is really a fox!" Even those who have committed adultery have not yet examined their guilt! I have a bad reputation and am scolded by people all over the city, don't drag our world to be unlucky, such a woman should be immersed in a pig cage! Her voice was shrill and piercing, especially loud in the quiet of the room. Kumquat didn't dare to say anything, but Du Ruoyun frowned slightly.
It's just that she only frowned because of Qingtong's loud voice, and there was no other expression, and she always had that signature smile on her face. Qingtong was still chattering and scolding Su Daiyun, but she never said a word.
Kumquat took advantage of Qingtong's speech to carefully observe Du Ruoyun's face, but she didn't see a trace of anger and loss on this face, let alone indignation and unwillingness. It seems that the person she said had a falling out with Mrs. An Guohou was not her husband, but the father of the child in her womb.
Kumquat didn't believe that Du Ruoyun didn't have a trace of touch in her heart, she was secretly shocked by her master's hidden kung fu, which was still like this in front of these maids who served them closely, and in front of outsiders...... Kumquat didn't dare to think about it.
Qingtong chattered for a long time, and finally stopped because of her dry mouth, at this time, she noticed that her master had not said a word, and immediately hurriedly leaned into Du Ruoyun's ear and said: "Miss, this matter must be told to the master immediately!" We can't let that slut's plot succeed! ”
Du Ruoyun slowly raised her head, the calm in her eyes surprised Qingtong greatly, she didn't have time to say anything urgently, she heard Du Ruoyun still say in a flat but gentle tone: "Okay, you don't need to say it anymore, I know what to do about this matter." ”
Qingtong was a little unwilling, but she had to shut up, Du Ruoyun's words, in her heart, she has always been a holy decree, and she will never disobey it.
Du Ruoyun turned his head to the kumquat again and ordered, "You go to the gate now to guard and see what the outcome of this matter is." After speaking, he turned his head to Qingtong and said, "Take some copper plates and give them to her." ”
Qingtong was immediately unhappy when she heard that she was rewarded with a kumquat copper plate, but at this time, she saw Du Ruoyun suddenly look over, her eyes were rippling, but there was a hint of coldness, Qingtong shivered, and hurriedly agreed: "Yes." ”
Du Ruoyun nodded, closed his eyes and said, "You two go down, I want to rest." ”
Kumquat bowed and withdrew, but Qingtong hesitated.
She used to call Qin Xiao her uncle, but during this time, she only wanted to call him the world, wishing that he had nothing to do with their young lady. Ever since the cheap Mrs. Su was kicked out, this Qin Shi has ignored their young lady, and during this time, she has stayed outside all night, either in Flower Street and Willow Lane, or in a gambling house restaurant, and she never came back to see their wife anyway. As for their wives, firstly, they are inconvenient to serve Qin Xiao, and secondly, they also want to let the world be quiet and rejudge the current situation. He didn't care about these things. Their wives believe that if they are wise, they will know what to do.
Qingtong believed in the words of their young lady at that time, because their young lady was the smartest woman in the world. No one can compare. But now, Qingtong is a little skeptical.
Qin Shi wandered outside without saying a word, Mrs. An Guohou had nothing to do with him, and her young lady couldn't control him even if she was pregnant. Now that he wants to take Su Daiyun's cheap woman back, Qingtong believes that her wife must be unhappy in her heart, because no woman can stand this. Besides, Mrs. An Guohou would never agree. At this moment, her young lady should join forces with her mother-in-law to destroy Su Daiyun, and if she is not at all, she should send someone to report to Lord Shangshu? As long as the master makes a move, that Su Daiyun will definitely die without a place to be buried, and he doesn't know how he died until he dies.
But Qingtong looked at her young lady's unintentional appearance now, but she was very puzzled by her approach.
When he was about to say something, Du Ruoyun seemed to know what Bronze wanted, and waved his hand again: "You go down!" There is already some unquestionable flavor to these words.
Qingtong had no choice but to retreat.
When Du Ruoyun was the only one left in the room, she lowered her head and stroked her lower abdomen, her eyes were gentle, and she whispered softly after a long time: "Son, you must be born peacefully, no matter how much your father messes around, your mother is not angry, only when your mother gives birth to you, can she be regarded as completely sitting on the position of this young lady, and ...... in the future." This Hou Mansion is also yours, and no one can take it away! ”
The more she spoke, the more gentle her eyes became, and in the end, she laughed uncontrollably.
Immediately after the silence of the room, there was a mocking murmur: "Hehe, what if you can get all his heart?" In this world, a glamorous woman who can gain a foothold in the gate of the mansion and live is by no means favored by men, a woman who can't have children, or if you want to come in, then come in. ”
……
The gate of the Hou Mansion.
The hour of a stick of incense had passed, Qin Xiao raised his head and glanced coldly at the tightly closed door, then stared deeply, and suddenly turned around and left without hesitation.
Since Daiyun can't be accommodated here, then he will wander the world with her! Even if he sleeps in the open, he is willing to eat!
It was only with his feet that he took two steps, and the heavy and solemn door behind him suddenly opened slowly. The creak of the iron door slammed heavily on Qin Xiao's
In the heart, it also knocked on Su Daiyun's heart in the carriage, and the two of them turned around like a spirit, and the other looked at the gate of Anguo Houfu. As the servants pushed it open, a charming and graceful figure slowly walked out of the door, but after a closer look, the man's hands were tightly protected on his lower abdomen.
It's Du Ruoyun.
Su Daiyun, who was sitting in the carriage, shrank her pupils suddenly.
Qin Xiao, who turned around and stood still, was also taken aback, but immediately, a deep disgust appeared in his eyes.
