This night, I slept very calmly, and when I woke up, it was already dawn. From the light service to get up and wash, she went to Rongjin Hall to greet Mrs. Tai as usual.

After the first seven days of Yun Ci, the whole Yunfu seemed to have returned to the old days, and many old habits were also found, such as the two aunts and wives accompanying Mrs. Tai to breakfast. Chuxiu also had no intention of delaying Mrs. Tai's meal, and wanted to return to Zhiyanxuan after inviting An.

"Since you're here, you can leave a meal for you." Mrs. Tai spoke casually, but the light glance at Izumi made her know that this meal must have a deep meaning.

said that after he straightened up, except for the two aunts and wives when he visited the mansion, he had not met with them again recently. I don't know if it's deliberately avoided or what, we always can't meet each other.

Chuxiu accompanied Mrs. Tai into the dining room, and sure enough, she saw a slight surprise on the faces of the two aunts, but Wenxian of the third room quickly changed her expression and took the lead in saluting: "Mrs. Tai, Mrs. Morning." ”

Then, the second room Hua Wuying followed closely and said: "Mrs. Tai is early, Mrs. ...... Early. The words were uncomfortable, and he smiled reluctantly, looking awkward.

Mrs. Tai bowed slightly, and said that she returned the salute: "The second aunt and the third aunt are polite." ”

As soon as the words fell, Mrs. Tai had already taken a seat first, and deliberately patted the position on her side. Out of Xiu's understanding, then take a seat. The two aunts sat down.

As soon as a few people sat down, the room had already begun to pass the food, only to hear Mrs. Tai say to Chuxiu quite kindly: "You are a person with a body, although it is not obvious now, but in the first three months, I am most afraid of going wrong." It's just a matter of having breakfast with me today, and from tomorrow onwards, the morning and dusk provinces will be free. If anything happens to me, I will tell you. ”

Izumi was slightly surprised when she heard this, but she didn't expect Mrs. Tai to say this in front of the two rooms, and hurriedly took the order and said yes. The third aunt Tai Wenxian also said a few words about the trick of pregnancy and self-cultivation, and said with concern: "Madame, this is the first child, and several maids in Zhiyan Xuan have never given birth, if you don't dislike it, it is better to call Mother Lan in my garden, she is the third master's nurse, and she has also taken care of the second master, and she is quite experienced in childbirth." ”

How can I let outsiders enter Zhiyanxuan and see the flaws of my fake pregnancy? So he glanced at Mrs. Tai and waited for her to relieve herself. But Mrs. Tai put on a very approving look, and threw an approving look at Wen Xian,

When she came out, she understood that Mrs. Tai wanted to sing and harmonize with herself to increase the authenticity of "pregnancy".

Thinking of this, Izumi thought about it in embarrassment, and hesitated to Wen Xian: "Call your manpower, I'm afraid...... Some people want to say that my mother is proud of her son! Thank you for the kindness of the third aunt, but I have a special status now, and I don't want to fall into the house. ”

This was said appropriately, although he refused politely, and expressed his concerns, everyone present could feel that he was walking on thin ice. Wen Xian naturally heard it, and couldn't help but say comfort: "Now in the house, is there anything more important than your baby?" With Mrs. Tai here, who would dare to chew her tongue? ”

Izumi pursed her lips and didn't answer, but she heard the second aunt's wife, Hua Wuying, suddenly smile faintly: "It's easy to hurt your body if you think too much during pregnancy, so Madame should pay attention." ”

Although Hua Wuying said this with a smile, Izumi faintly heard a bit of irony. Should I just scold her? Or do you laugh it off and don't hear it?

Izumi quickly pondered in her heart, but when she heard that Mrs. Tai had already taken over the conversation, she said unhappily: "Wuying, after all these years, you can't change your childish spirit when you speak." ”

At first glance, this sounds like nothing, but when you study it carefully, it has a lot of meaning. Mrs. Tai does not call Hua Wuying "Second Aunt Tai" or "Hua Shi", the word "Wuying" sounds kind, but it is the old name - this is the name of Hua Wuying when she was a slave.

It can be seen that Mrs. Tai deliberately reprimanded her for her humble background and lack of understanding of proportion.

Sure enough, when Hua Wuying heard this, her face turned pale and she was silent.

Out of Xiu raised her eyes and looked, there were four women sitting at this table, all of whom were the masters of Yunfu, but three of them were all slaves - the second aunt Taihua Wuying was the slave of Mrs. Tai, the third aunt Tai Wenxian was the slave of the old marquis, and she was the slave of Yun Ci.

Izumi suddenly understood a little why Mrs. Tai paid so much attention to her status, just imagine that she was the eldest lady of the Xie family, and she was the world-famous Yun family's housewife, and now she had to eat at the same table with three slave-born women, which was about to add to the blockage in her heart.

The atmosphere of a breakfast meal took a sharp turn for the worse after Mrs. Tai reprimanded Hua Wuying. Several people finished their meal silently, waiting for further instructions.

And Mrs. Tai didn't seem to see it, she still wiped her mouth with a towel and washed her hands with water unhurriedly, and then said to Xiu leisurely: "Teach Mother Chi to take care of your baby." After speaking, he didn't give everyone a chance to speak, and waved away to the two aunts: "You two disperse." ”

Mrs. Tai actually asked Rong Jintang's mother Chi to take care of Xiu's baby! The two aunts and wives were unexpected. Chi's mother is Yunci's nurse, or Mrs. Tai brought it from her mother's house, in this Yun Mansion, except for Mrs. Tai, no one dares to call her, and the house regards Chi's mother as half of the master!

What an honor it is for Izuku! Hua Wuying and Wen Xian glanced at each other quickly, and said that they were retiring.

Seeing that the two aunts and wives were far away, the lady slowly got up and walked out of the dining room with Chuxiu: "Have you observed the expressions of the two of them?" ”

Izuku nodded: "You are standing up for me in front of the two aunts." ”

"I'm standing for you, but how long this 'might' can last depends on you." Mrs. Tai said cryptically.

"I always remember the trick you said that day, so I have something to ask for today." Izuku looked at Mrs. Tai and asked in a low voice: "Qianyun has been locked up in the torture hall these days, and I want her to return to Zhiyanxuan." ”

Hearing this, Mrs. Tai suddenly stopped and looked at her thoughtfully: "Qianyun hates you so much now that she even raised a knife to kill you, and you still want to intercede for her?" ”

Izumi lowered her eyes and sighed: "It is also appropriate for Qianyun to kill me, and Master Hou was indeed killed by me...... She did this, but it showed her loyalty to the Hou Ye. ”

Mrs. Tai raised her eyebrows: "I'm just afraid that you won't be able to lower her." ”

Izuku smiled reluctantly: "You said that when you treat your subordinates harshly and when you are gentle, you want me to take care of it." Now that she has been in the torture hall for many days, she has been mistreated, and it is time to let her go. Besides, she is your person, and she has served the Hou Ye, so I ...... I can't bear it. ”

Mrs. Tai only nodded slightly when she heard this: "Shen Yu said that Qianyun suffered from madness, and this is just an excuse to punish her." If you want to use her, be careful. ”

Izuku achieved what he wanted, and was about to say thank you, but when he saw Mrs. Tai frowning and groaning for a moment, she said: "In the past, Zhuying was Ci'er's personal guard, but he is a man in the end, and now it is inconvenient to follow you." I'll have another female guard for you, and I'll teach her to go to Zhiyanxuan tomorrow to greet you. ”

Female guards? Izumi couldn't help but sigh secretly that Mrs. Tai was thoughtful and thoughtful, and hurriedly thanked her. The two talked for a while, and Mrs. Tai ordered someone to take her to the torture hall and instructed her to release Qianyun in person.

*****

The dark cell of the Yunfu Torture Hall has always been a prison for people who make mistakes. Coincidentally, among the more than ten cells, the one where Qianyun was imprisoned happened to be the place where he had been locked up in the past.

Izuku slowly walked into it, looking at this familiar pattern, and sighed for a while. Looking at the shallow rhyme in the prison, where is there still a crazy appearance, only sitting on the ground with blank eyes, the white dress in mourning has long been so dirty that it can't see the original color. Presumably, no one would have imagined at this time that this was the eldest maid who had served Mrs. Xie and the Marquis of Lixin in the past.

Hearing the cell door open, Qian Yun glanced up at Xiu, and her originally godless eyes gradually glowed with awe-inspiring hatred. She opened her mouth to speak, but she didn't open her mouth for more than ten days, and her voice was hoarse: "You kill me." ”

Even though she knew that Qianyun didn't like her very much, when she saw her like this, the tip of her nose was still sour, and she asked in a low voice: "Why did I kill you?" ”

Light Yun sneered and said no more.

Izuku thought about it for a while, and then said, "Now I am the widow of Lord Hou." ”

"Widow?" Sure enough, when Qianyun heard these two words, she was greatly surprised.

Chuxiu stroked her lower abdomen and sighed: "I have the posthumous son of the Hou Ye...... Moreover, Mrs. Tai found a marriage letter from the relics of the Hou Ye, which has now been recognized by the media and has taken effect. ”

She originally thought that these words would cause more jealousy and hatred in Qianyun, but she didn't know that Qianyun only slowly lowered her gaze on her lower abdomen and muttered: "Hou Ye's child ......"

Gradually, the hatred in Qianyun's eyes turned into remorse, and she choked up and sighed: "Oh my God! I almost killed my master's flesh and bones......" She stared intently at Izumi's lower abdomen and asked, "How many months?" ”

"Two months." Izuku didn't want to deceive Qianyun, but now she has to tell this lie. First, he was afraid that she would hurt himself again, and secondly, he wanted to use her.

"Mrs. Tai has given you permission to return to Zhiyanxuan." Izumi also folded her hands on her lower abdomen and said, "Qianyun, I can't let people hurt this child anymore." Chi's mother will come to Zhiyanxuan tomorrow to raise the baby for me, and I hope you can come back to help me. ”

"What can I help you?" Qian Yun came back to her senses and regained her cold expression, but she was a little more angry than Fang Fang.

Seeing that she seemed to be moved, Izumi said truthfully: "From now on, you will be responsible for my food and clothing, and don't let people have the opportunity to harm my children." ”

"You let me serve you?" Qian Yun and Izuku looked at each other and said coldly: "You are dreaming! ”

"It's not to serve me, it's to take care of Hou Ye's children." Izuxiu's face did not change: "This is also what you owe to Master Hou." ”

"What do I owe to Master Hou?" Qian Yun was puzzled: "You don't want to pour dirty water on me!" ”

"What is in the Hou Ye is the poison of love, which can only be started through daily life, the clothes you wear, the meals you eat, and the drinks you drink...... You have always been responsible for Hou Ye's food, clothing, housing and transportation, if it weren't for your dereliction of duty, how could Hou Ye be poisoned? Izuku said the truth in a deep voice.

This question was like a sharp thorn poking into Qianyun's heart: "Actually...... I was negligent......" Her eyes dilated again, and a look of guilt that could not be concealed emerged, accompanied by two lines of tears, and finally turned into a cry of bitterness.

Izumi had no intention of poking this pain, after all, she hurt Qianyun and herself. The crying in the cell gradually became heartbreaking, and Izuku didn't want to stay any longer, just afraid that if he stayed for a moment longer, the heart that pretended to be strong would be instantly crushed.

Listening to the bitter cry of Qianyun in his ears, he forcibly endured the sourness on the tip of his nose, turned around and walked out of the cell, and finally said to her: "I promise you three days to rest, and after three days, you will take over the errand of the heart." ”

The white skirt was slightly raised with his steps, and Izuku had already walked out of the torture hall quickly, returning in the direction of Zhiyanxuan. The chest was empty, and she didn't dare to admit it until this moment that she was resentful of Yun Ci, blamed him for not telling the truth, and blamed him for exchanging his life for his own life.

If someone really wants to die, she would rather die by herself, as long as she is accompanied by him at the last moment of her life, this life is enough. Not now, it is too late to suddenly understand this cruel truth after his death, and then regret and wake up.

Chuxiu returned to Zhiyanxuan sadly all the way, and just after calming down, he saw the maid on duty hurriedly come to salute: "Madam, Master Shen has been waiting for you for a long time. ”
