Chapter 40: Settle down

"You're pretty self-aware. Ming Jiuniang forked.

Xiao Tiece quietly let go of the hands that the two were shaking hands.

Ming Jiuniang saw Chunqiu standing not far away with Ye'er.

Chunqiu obviously saw the intimacy between the two before, his face was slightly red, but he was also very happy for them.

Now that Xiao Tiece is back, she has to say goodbye and go home.

Ming Jiuniang didn't let her, went back and picked up a basket of duck eggs for her, and said, "Tell your grandfather, this is given by Xiao Tiece, not by me, a wicked mother-in-law." ”

Chunqiu said abruptly: "Nine Niangzi, you are laughing again." My grandfather has a very different opinion of you now, otherwise he wouldn't have allowed me to come over every day. ”

Ming Jiuniang pushed the basket to her: "Teasing you, silly girl." ”

Only then did Chunqiu leave with the basket.

Xiao Tiece was cleaning up duck manure outside, and he looked no different than usual.

Ming Jiuniang felt something, and the word that Jiao Ye'er recognized today became "pampering and humiliation, watching the flowers bloom and fall in front of the court;

The days that followed, everything was peaceful.

Ming Jiuniang was responsible for tidying up every day, teaching Ye'er to read, and occasionally helping Yang Xiaotang settle accounts, living a comfortable life of "having food at home and not panicking";

More than a month passed like this, and it was late autumn, when a carriage stopped in front of their dilapidated house.

The carriage brought Ming Jiuniang's old acquaintance - her nurse Xue Mama.

Mama Xue was wearing a lotus-colored sprinkled gold gown, her hair was combed shiny, a few golden hairpins were inserted in her bun, and she was accompanied by a little maid who was supporting her.

When she came, Ming Jiuniang was pouring chaff into the big wooden basin and mixing some broken eggshells into it, so as to ensure that the wild ducks would not be deficient in calcium.

Her hair was braided and tied up with a black headband, and she had no other jewelry, her sleeves rolled up, and her hands stirred in the basin, looking exactly like the rude women who did rough work in the village.

Mama Xue stood at the door, her face couldn't help showing disgust.

Ming Jiuniang recognized her from the moment she got out of the carriage, but she didn't bother to raise her eyelids, so she didn't see it.

The previous body was too stupid, and she made herself die, but she crossed over, and many things were figured out.

She was a good concubine, and finally was forced to marry Xiao Tiece, the person whose grandfather was trying to kill, which means that she was also sacrificed.

To this point, many people have "made great contributions", especially her father's aunt, and also Mama Xue, who is "in Cao Ying's heart in Han".

"My ninth girl!" Mama Xue slapped her thigh and cried like a mournful examiner, "How can you suffer such a sin!"

"Who are you?" Ming Jiuniang raised her head and frowned and asked, "Your family is dead, go home and mourn yourself, come to my house to find some bad luck!"

Mama Xue's dry howl was suddenly stuck in her throat, her hand was also hanging in the air, and she said in disbelief: "Nine, nine girls, you don't know me, I'm your nurse!"

"Nurse?" Ming Jiuniang pretended to be confused, "Why don't I remember?"

Although she didn't know what Mama Xue's intention was, she was sure that the person who came was not good, so she took the initiative first.

Mama Xue patted her thigh again: "My ninth girl, what have you been through? Is it that the surname Xiao has abused you? Otherwise, how can you forget everything?"

Ming Jiuniang sneered in her heart.

In the past, the relationship between her and Xiao Tiece was like fire and water, and there were many of them that Mama Xue sowed discord.
