Chapter 44: Unearthing a Secret
"Ma'am."
Yao Hua respectfully welcomed Zhao Mingruo to the main position, since marrying into the Hou Mansion, her life has been very nourishing, and with Shui Xiu by her side, she almost forgot what she was doing when she came to the Hou Mansion.
"How has the relationship with the second young master been recently?"
"The second young master is not disgusted with concubines now, as long as he sends Shui Xiu over to invite him, he can invite him, but if he wants to go further, it will take some time." Yao Hua replied truthfully.
"Then be more diligent, be more proactive, no matter what Gu Changheng does in your room, entangle him, I have my own things to do."
Zhao Mingruo commanded, "In addition, in the blink of an eye, you will be in the mansion for a month, this is okay, but wait for another two months and three months, if your stomach has not moved, you will have to wear a goof." ”
Yao Hua was puzzled, "Madam, why do you have to be pregnant?" ”
At present, Gu Changheng's attitude towards her is still a little difficult to be pregnant, and it is really a bit harsh to be pregnant two or three months after entering the door, Yao Hua She doesn't know if her body can be.
Zhao Mingruo smiled lightly, "Regardless of whether it's true or not, just let the people in the house know about it." ”
"Say ...... again"
"Flowers, do you have someone you like? Be sure to be honest with me and don't be embarrassed with me, or the decisions I make in the future may not be good for you. ”
Yao Hua was slightly stunned, and then her little face couldn't help but blush a little, "Madam, you ......"
"What do you mean by that?"
"Help you."
"Help you do what you want." Zhao Mingruo raised his eyebrows.
Yao Hua's red lips opened slightly, and a scene that she couldn't imagine in her mind flashed in her mind, "Madam, what do you mean, you want me to ......"
Conceive someone else's child.
Zhao Mingruo was noncommittal, "Look at you, I don't have any requirements for truth or falsehood, if you want to be true, I can cooperate with you, if you don't want to, then let's be fake." ”
But her heart is more biased towards the truth.
Gu Changheng had an adulterous affair with another woman behind her back, and his wife and aunt were also pregnant with other people's children, this big green hat was buttoned down, and she was a little looking forward to Gu Changheng's pitiful appearance of being annoyed and angry after knowing the truth.
Yao Hua's face turned even redder, "Madam, it's really ......."
Shui Xiu cleverly said for her, "Madam, there is. ”
"Hua'er has had a childhood sweetheart's cousin since she was a child, and she was originally going to get married, but then she ......" Shui Xiu said something else, "I have also seen her cousin, and he is indeed a good person, he comes to see us Hua'er whenever he is free, and when he is not free, he goes to work to earn money, and he gives it to Hua'er when he comes back." ”
Speaking of her cousin, Yao Hua was full of smiles, but those charming eyes could not hide her tears, "My cousin is kind to me, he gave me all the money he earned, and said that I will save together, and when I can save enough money to redeem myself in the future, he can come and marry me, but ......"
"But madam, you know, my deed of sale costs so much silver to redeem it, my cousin is just a weak scholar, where can he earn how much silver, he is the material for reading, fifteen became a showman, for me, I don't even read books, I go to help people do coolie work, that pair of reading hands grind out calluses, it's all me, I hurt him......"
Yao Hua, who had always been optimistic, suddenly broke down and cried.
Zhao Mingruo held her hand, and was moved by it when she listened, in this life, it is rare to meet someone who is deeply in love with him.
She didn't have a chance.
"Don't cry, you told me earlier, and I can fulfill you sooner."
Yao Hua still had tears in her eyes, but she shook her head, "The night before I came to the Hou Mansion, I returned to him the money that my cousin had saved with me over the years, and also gave him my private collection, he shouldn't be dragged down by me anymore, he should use the silver to marry a girl from a white family and become his own son." ”
"Madam, how can I have anything to do with him in my capacity."
"Since I left with you, I knew exactly what I had to do, and I never regretted it."
Zhao Mingruo didn't force it immediately, but just comforted, "You can rest assured, if you don't want to, I won't force you, then you appease the second young master first, and wait for us to talk about other things later." ”
Yao Hua nodded, "Yes." ”
Out of the door, Zhao Mingruo looked at Shui Xiu.
Shui Xiu said smartly, "Hua'er's cousin lives in Yuanshui Hutong, his surname is Qin Ziming, he is indeed a very good person, and he is infatuated with Hua'er, but Hua'er has already made up her mind to be the aunt of the Hou Mansion with peace of mind, and she doesn't want to delay her cousin's time anymore." ”
Zhao Mingruo nodded.
She can understand Hua'er's intention to agree to see her cousin at the beginning, thinking that with the efforts of the two of them, she can always save enough money to redeem herself and leave the land of fireworks, but unfortunately, the reality is too cruel, and in the end she failed to achieve her wish, so she should say goodbye to her cousin with a heartache and regret.
"Then Ah Fu, let's go to Yuanshui Hutong and have a look."
"By the way, Shui Xiu, if my cousin asks me what I'm doing, you just need to tell the truth, but don't talk about Aunt Yao's part, understand?"
"Understood."
After Zhao Mingruo left, Yun Suiwan's smile was about to pile up on her face when she came back with the key, and she came over to find Shui Xiu diligently, "Xiuxiu, why are you here." ”
Shui Xiu said honestly, "Just now Mrs. came to ask about our aunt's situation of serving the second master, and explained a few words to 'take care' of the second master and left, and the slave came out to see her off." ”
Yun Suiwan felt uncomfortable, and the smile on her face suddenly disappeared and she had to pretend, "In this way, Xiuxiu, you have worked hard to take care of your aunt, take it quickly." ”
Shui Xiu looked down at the silver, greeted a few times but accepted it, except for one or two silver at the beginning, Yun Sui was late, and then sent a few dollars of silver, and it was rare to recover one or two, looking at her happy event, I don't know how to harm people in my heart.
But Madame is right, the money sent to the door is more or less meat, how can it not be accepted.
"Thank you, ma'am."
The people in the house call Miss Yun Sui Wanbiao, only Shui Xiu is called Mrs., and every time she calls, she is overjoyed and does not correct it.
"What's polite with me?"
"By the way, Shui Xiu, do you know what Madame has been busy with recently, in addition to letting your aunt take care of the second master, do you have any other requirements?" Yun Nianwan finally exposed the purpose.
Fawning favor with Shui Xiu is just trying to rely on Shui Xiu to inquire about the news of Mrs. and Hua'er.
Shui Xiu's expression suddenly became mysterious, "Madam, you are right, there is indeed something wrong with the second lady recently." ”
Yun Suiwan's eyes immediately lit up, "Oh? Tell me what's wrong. ”
Shui Xiu looked very embarrassed, "But ......"
Yun Suiwan plucked the only silver hairpin left on her head and stuffed it into Shui Xiu's hand, this is the little body she has left, but after thinking about it, if she can bring down Zhao Mingruo, then the Hou Mansion is not all her own, and she will not feel distressed.
