Mao Tongtong smiled reluctantly and said, "It also happened not long ago." You all have to raise a baby, and it's normal to not know. ”

"You must have had a hard time lately. Be careful with your body! Jiufu Jin said softly.

"Yes. Don't wear yourself out. I said, how did you lose so much weight! Shi Fujin also looked concerned.

"Thank you for your concern. It's going to be fine after a while. Mao Tongtong said.

It's a sad topic, especially for two women who are pregnant. So everyone quickly talked about something else and diverted from the topic.

Gradually, there were more and more people in the Baohe Palace, but Mao Tongtong didn't see Sifujin. When Kangxi appeared, everyone stood in their respective positions, and Sifujin did not appear. I think I took a leave of absence because I was not feeling well.

At this time, Mao Tongtong stood with the same gang of side Fujin. Coincidentally, I met Ma Jia's family at the last Mid-Autumn Festival banquet.

Sure enough, the topic of Hongdun was mentioned again. But because Kangxi began to speak, the topic was terminated.

But this Ma Jiashi is obviously not a person who will let go of any chat topics. When the ceremony was over and everyone had a chance to talk together, she asked again.

Mao Tongtong could only say what he had said before answering Jiufujin and them.

"Huh?! So suddenly! Ma Jiashi looked surprised, covered his mouth and whispered: "I looked alive last time during the Mid-Autumn Festival!" What kind of illness is it? ”

Mao Tongtong glanced at her and frowned slightly, but still replied: "Sudden illness." ”

The murder of Hongdun is just her suspicion, even if a lot of evidence now confirms this suspicion more and more, but after all, there is no conclusive evidence and cannot be said to the public. When I first reported to the palace, I also said that Hongdun was sick and died.

"Oh, that's right." Ma Jiashi didn't continue to ask about the cause, but said: "But it's normal for children to die young." There is no one who does not die. It's not a loss to you. It's okay not to raise children for others, and it's better for someone like you to have two more of your own. ”

The death of a child is a sad thing. But when it came to Ma Jia's mouth, it became a good thing! This kind of cognition really made Mao Tongtong unexpected! Even if Hongdun is not her child, she can't despise a life so much, right?

I just thought that Ma Jia's had no eyesight before. But now Mao Tongtong feels that this person is too cold-blooded. Even the child's death is about profit!

"Ma Fang Fujin, I'm in a bad mood and don't want to talk about this topic anymore." Mao Tongtong said lightly.

"You're so sad!" Ma Jiashi looked surprised again.

"Ma Fang Fujin, everyone will be sad!" Mao Tongtong took a step to the side as he spoke, showing that he would distance himself.

Ma Jiashi also saw Mao Tongtong's dislike, his face suddenly changed, he didn't know what to mutter, and he also stood two steps to the side.

Mao Tongtong secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She was really afraid that if she continued this topic, Hongwang would notice something.

This day was difficult for Mao Tongtong. Not only because of the cold weather, but also because she is alone with Hongwang. It's more because of other people's probing eyes.

It's a bad feeling to be speculated on. It's like being judged by a crowd!

She knew what these people were thinking. It's just wondering why Hongdun died so suddenly. It's just when the eighth master is not in the house. As a side Fujin of a housekeeper, she is easily suspected of doing something.

There are even some people who come to find out the real situation under the guise of concern. This is what Mao Tongtong dislikes the most!

It is really sad that a human life is used as a gossip talk.

finally survived until she went home from the palace, and her little day came as scheduled.

Because I was tired and cold this day, it was just worse. That night, she was tormented by abdominal pain and barely fell asleep.

When he got up the next morning, Mao Tongtong's face was as white as the snow that had fallen outside again.

"Master, you can rest for a day today." Qingzhu said distressedly.

Mao Tongtong shook her head lightly, "The fourth sister-in-law didn't enter the palace yesterday, I think she was sick, I want to go see her today." ”

"But you're like this yourself, can't you take a day off and then go?" Ome Road.

"It's fine. I'm an old problem. I tossed in the middle of the night yesterday, but it's okay today. Mao Tongtong smiled and said, "The fourth sister-in-law has helped me a lot, I just went to the next door to have a look, and it didn't take much energy." ”

Qingzhu and Qingmei couldn't resist her, so they could only give her more clothes to keep warm.

On the Fourth Master's Mansion, Sifujin is indeed sick.

She hurt herself when she gave birth to her second child, and she is particularly susceptible to colds in winter. If you don't pay attention, you'll fall ill. This time, I have had a low-grade fever for several days.

When Mao Tongtong came, she had just gotten up and drunk medicine, and she was leaning on the bed to talk to the fourth master.

It is not polite for Mao Tongtong and Sifujin to meet in private. Seeing that the fourth master was here today, she was busy and said: "I have seen the fourth sister-in-law and the fourth master." ”

"Why are you here on this cold day?" Sifu Jin smiled and said, "Sit down and talk." ”

"You talk, I still have something to do in my study." The fourth master got up and said.

"Go ahead." Sifujin smiled and watched the fourth master leave.

Mao Tongtong knew that the fourth master was giving the two of them a chance to talk alone.

"I'm just having a cold and fever, not a big problem. You should have been quite tired yesterday, and you should have rested in the house today. "Four Blessings Jin Dao.

"We live next door, not a few steps. Besides, I want to talk to you too. Mao Tongtong said with a smile.

"I don't think your face is good. Is there no progress in the affairs of the house? Sifujin asked.

In addition to the family, Mao Tongtong can only talk to Sifujin about these things. When she asked, she said it briefly.

"So, the clue is broken again?" Sifujin asked.

"Yes! I was a little discouraged. Mao Tongtong smiled bitterly and said, "I still haven't dared to tell our master." I can't even imagine what he will look like when he comes back and finds out. ”

"Men are more forgiving than we think." Four Blessings Jin Road.

Women's feelings are more exposed. Whether it's happy or sad, it's easy to show it in front of people. But men are different, especially people like the fourth master and the eighth master, who have endured since childhood, and the expression of feelings is even more rare.

Mao Tongtong knew the meaning of Sifujin's words. Although the eighth master is more forbearing, the wound in his heart may be deeper.

Emotions that can't be vented will be precipitated and fermented in the heart. Maybe you can't show it now, but there will always be an opportunity to explode. At that point, the pain may be magnified several times over, making it even more unbearable.
