I calmed down and thought about it carefully.
Liu Huai'an is so powerful that he will always have a few enemies, right?
There will always be dissatisfaction between enemies, right?
But there is always a wrongdoer and a debtor, so why should I be blamed?
Also, when I went to the Empress Temple, Liu Huaian personally escorted me. Could it be that he also knew that Ling Hui and De Fei would go to the Empress Temple, so he deliberately released the assassins to lure Ling Hui to show up.
I want to use this to test whether the old relationship between us is over?
I slapped the table, thinking that I was too smart!
It’s so damn suitable to be a detective!
Doesn't this solve the mystery? It's all because I didn't want to consummate the marriage with him, so I started all kinds of conspiracies and intrigues!
Liu Huaian, this sinister villain!
Seeing the changes in my expression, Huaizhu couldn't help waving her little hand in front of my eyes, holding her mouth and asked: "Miss, what's the matter with you? Please talk to me."
I took her hand and asked her to sit across from me and eat with me.
Huaizhu was still worried, biting her chopsticks and said to me: "Either the prime minister will never show up, and when he does show up, he will make trouble for the young lady. Why did our young lady end up with such a top husband?"
It happened that Aunt Zhou saw Liu Huaian going out angrily.
She knocked on the door, then opened the door and leaned halfway forward to ask, "I just saw the Prime Minister come in, why didn't you stay to have a meal with me?"
Huaizhu quickly answered for me: "The Prime Minister has never been in the habit of eating in Xiaoxiang Courtyard."
Unexpectedly, Aunt Zhou said seriously: "That's not possible."
After saying that, he came in, sat next to us and muttered to us: "Slave, why did you not see the prime minister for so long after you moved to Xiaoxiang Courtyard?"
"My dear Prime Minister, I never miss my wife. Of course this is not okay."
"If the relationship between husband and wife is too tense, how can they bother to have children?"
"No wonder the prime minister is so focused on running away. Madam should really reflect on this."
Huaizhu and I were eating and accepting the teachings humbly.
Aunt Zhou talked for a long time, but she also felt that it was not tasteful to talk too much, not to mention that I was so good to her, and she couldn't bear to talk about me.
When he got up and left, he said as he walked: "Come on, a slap won't make a difference. When the time comes, I'll beg the old lady to see if there is any way."
Huaizhu took the opportunity to say, "I have to trouble my aunt."
After seeing her off, Huaizhu and I both breathed a sigh of relief.
She came to my side and looked at my neck to make sure Liu Huaian hadn't hurt me.
The weather is hot now, and most of the clothes I wear are tube top skirts. If there are any traces on my body, you can see them at a glance.
After confirming that nothing was wrong, Huaizhu breathed a sigh of relief and came to the opposite side of me to persuade me seriously: "Young lady has been angry with the prime minister for so long, but you have never thought about easing the relationship? If this continues, we will definitely return to the previous situation. "
Angry? It couldn't be that he was angry, at most it was just annoying him.
It’s still very annoying, it’s annoying to death!
The dignified prime minister has no grace at all. He always curses and scolds others.
I don't believe it. He behaves like this in court?
After listening to Huaizhu's words, I became anxious. After all, the reason why I am getting better now is because Mrs. Li has high hopes for my belly.
I don’t want to consummate my marriage with Liu Huaian, let alone have a baby with him. Even the two paths of having a baby through surrogacy and false pregnancy are cut off.
What else can I do? How about running away all night?
Huaizhu saw that I was thinking seriously about something, so she had no choice but to stop trying to persuade me. After all, I am the young lady and she is the maid. If she tries to persuade me too much, she will be annoying.
Time slipped by so quietly. At the end of mid-summer, the weather was hot and dry, and the cicadas were chirping noisily.
Huaizhu and I were lying on the bamboo bed dying from the heat. Aunt Zhou came to report that someone from the Taifu Mansion was here.
She said respectfully to me: "Madam Qi, the Tutor's Mansion has sent a housekeeper to deliver a letter. Madam, would you like to go and reply?"
I asked her: "Can you explain what it is?"
Aunt Zhou nodded: "My eldest sister has given birth, and she came here to announce the good news. By the way, I would like to ask the Lian family for their full moon banquet at the end of this month. Will Madam be there?"
I pondered for a moment and carefully recalled the details in the book. Fan Fengchu finally gave birth to a son during his third pregnancy. With this, he turned over and was happy all day long. However, because the original owner had no children, he became a laughing stock wherever he went.
It is said that the child was maliciously framed and pushed into the pond by Fan Fengchu during the child's full-moon banquet, which made all the guests present laugh and made Liu Huai'an lose face.
After coming back, he became ill and depressed. Dai Shishi, a bitch, also came to bully her. The original owner was bedridden from then on.
I sighed secretly, feeling that the original owner and Ling Hui were in love with each other.
I told Mrs. Zhou, "Let me take a look."
I led Aunt Zhou and Huaizhu to the front hall, and all the way there we met Uncle Zhen, the steward of the Taifu Mansion.
When Uncle Zhen saw me, he quickly saluted: "Young lady, I have met you."
I stepped forward and helped him up: "Uncle Zhen, there is no need to be polite."
Uncle Zhen looked at me and said kindly: "Seeing that the young lady is living so well in the Prime Minister's Mansion, I feel relieved."
I greeted her politely: "I wonder why Uncle Zhen is here?"
Uncle Zhen took out the invitation card from his arms and handed it to me: "This is the invitation card sent by the Lian family. The young lady's name is also on the card. The old lady sent the younger one to ask if the young lady has time to attend the eldest lady's full moon banquet. "
I know that the original owner was not favored by both families, so in the past when the Lian family entertained guests, they would go to the Taifu Mansion and use Uncle Zhen to come and ask questions.
I would not turn a blind eye this time, nor did I mean to make things difficult for Uncle Zhen. I asked him: "Since I am also at the banquet, why don't the Lian family give me a separate portion?"
"Also, the prime minister is also Mr. Lian's brother-in-law and the child's cousin. He is also an official in the same court. He is not qualified to have a wedding banquet with his cousin because of his emotions and reasons."
"If they come to the banquet in person, the Prime Minister and I have no reason not to go. If they don't invite us, the Prime Minister and I won't miss the banquet either. Uncle Zhen understands."
Uncle Zhen was immediately in awe after hearing this, and he became respectful to me: "It's a minor oversight. I'll just go back and let the Lian family deliver the letter themselves."
After sending Uncle Zhen away, Aunt Zhou handed me the tea cup and gave me a thumbs up, saying with appreciation: "Our wife is still smart as ice and snow, otherwise a small Hanlin editor would dare to be arrogant. It would really give them face." ”
I drank tea and said calmly: "As I said before, people will go to Cambodia when they arrive. If people don't come to Cambodia, they won't go."
Huaizhu massaged my shoulders and said smoothly: "My servant also thinks that the young lady did the right thing this time. When the eldest lady gave birth to a child in the past, wasn't that how she sent Uncle Zhen to invite her."
"The young lady gave them back, and she probably won't do it again this time."
I nodded and stood up and said, "Let's go back."
When I returned to Xiaoxiang Courtyard, I signaled to Aunt Zhou that she didn't have to watch her all the time and could go about her own business.
In the evening, the sky is filled with red clouds, the breeze is not dry, and the years are quiet.
Huaizhu took out a deck chair, snacks, cattail leaf fan, and storybook. After getting ready, she excitedly shouted to me: "Miss, it's time to tell stories."
I walked over with a smile and asked her: "Where did you talk last time?"
Huaizhu handed me the book and said flatteringly: "Here, here, I marked it last time."
I looked at where she had folded the corner of the book, then looked around, picked a bamboo leaf from the bamboo forest planted next to it, put it in, and said to her: "You can just use this leaf as a bookmark from now on."
Huaizhu suddenly understood, and then smiled at me non-stop.
