"That's too much! She's just too much!"
Seeing Hanqiao's scratches and burns, Shen Zhonglei was so angry that he just whirled around the room.
After walking around for a few times, he was still angry and suddenly walked out: "I'll go find her to settle the score!"
Hanqiao quickly hugged Shen Zhonglei and said: "Master, it's right for the madam to be angry. It's because the servant didn't do well, let alone a tea cup. Even if the madam wanted to beat the slave to death, the slave would have no complaints.
"Madam is already very sad right now. Master, please stop scolding Madam for such a trivial matter!"
"My mother said she was going to make you an aunt, what right does she have to hit you!" Shen Zhonglei was panting, but he didn't dare to move too much for fear of touching Han Qiao's wounds again, "You are too soft-tempered, that's why you were beaten She bullies you like this, you must have suffered a lot from being in front of her these past few years."
"This slave and his family are all descendants of the Xu family, and they rely on the madam for their survival. The madam disciplines the slave for the sake of the slave. How can the master say that he is wronged!"
"If Xu Yurou was half as sensible as you, she wouldn't have done so many wrong things!"
"Actually, madam, she was confused for a moment. Just like what the old lady said, even if the master is angry again, he still has to take care of Master Yuan Lin, right?"
As soon as he mentioned his son, Shen Zhonglei lost most of his anger. He showed a smile and said: "Yuan Lin, this kid is really enlightened now. He couldn't study in the past, but now he has made great progress. I received a letter from the mountain chief a few days ago. The letter is full of praise for him!"
"That's great!" Hanqiao stood up with a look of surprise and saluted, "Congratulations to the master, congratulations to the master!"
"You are about to become your aunt, how come you are still acting like a slave?" Shen Zhonglei took Hanqiao to the side and sat down, and then warned, "The doctor has said that you are not allowed to touch these hands in the past few days. Shui, I will ask someone to pick two maids to bring them to you later. You are not allowed to do anything in the past few days, just take care of yourself and wait for me to marry you."
"Shh!" Hanqiao raised her hand to cover Shen Zhonglei's mouth, "Master, be careful, this slave is just a maid. Thanks to the old lady, I don't mind giving this slave a status, so that I can legitimately stay by my side and serve you. I don’t know what kind of blessing this slave has earned in her life, so it doesn’t deserve the word “marriage” from the master’s mouth.”
"As long as I decide in my heart that I want to marry you, I will treat you as my bed partner. It doesn't matter what other people think."
Shen Zhonglei and Hanqiao stayed in the room for a long time before finally reluctantly leaving.
As soon as they left, Hanqiao's smiling face fell instantly.
Looking at my left hand wrapped into a rice dumpling, I wonder if there will be any scars.
But at this price, if it can be exchanged for Shen Zhonglei's love and hatred for Xu, it would be a good deal.
If it doesn't work, I'll go to Mrs. Tong and buy some ointment to remove scars.
Now that Mrs. Xu is disliked by both Mrs. Shen and Shen Zhonglei, she will definitely not dare to do anything else in the short term.
But as long as Shen Yuanlin is still there, Shen Zhonglei will not deal with the Xu family ruthlessly.
So Xu will still get up sooner or later.
Now that she had just made a mistake and was afraid to make any big move, Han Qiao had to get herself pregnant as soon as possible.
As for the affectionate promises made by Shen Zhonglei, Mrs. Xu might like to hear them, but Hanqiao didn't believe even a single word.
Maybe that was what he was thinking at the moment he said it.
But men are inherently fickle and fickle.
No matter how touching the words of love, no matter how firm the promise, how many years can it last?
She would not bet the rest of her life's happiness on Shen Zhonglei's mouth.
Only children are the real support.
Hanqiao's injury was not serious, and he was almost healed within ten days.
Seeing that Shen Yuanlin was about to come back from vacation if the delay continued, Shen Zhonglei found someone to settle the matter and planned to settle the matter as soon as possible.
Because the old lady said it was going to be lively, Shen Zhonglei directly invited officials from the government office and some good friends to come to the house to drink together and create a lively atmosphere.
Shen Zhonglei was eating in the front, but luckily there was no family to accompany him, so Ping Niang waited in the back room.
Hanqiao was now Aunt Guo, and she and Ping Niang were placed in the same courtyard. When they entered, they didn't disturb each other.
Although the two of them met every day, there was really no friendship between them. This was the first time they were in the same room without outsiders.
In the past few days, Mr. Xu claimed to be ill and had stayed away, so Ping Niang was doing everything by herself, which was really tiring.
After working hard every day, I feel sleepy as soon as I hit the pillow, and my back and legs still hurt.
Ping Niang couldn't help but lament to Shen Yunhui that she was indeed old and her body and bones were not as big as usual.
So just accompanying Hanqiao through the process of taking a concubine had already made her very tired, and now she was sitting aside feeling sleepy and dozing off.
"Ping Niang, thank you." Hanqiao suddenly spoke, breaking the silence in the room, "I know that now everyone in the family looks down on me and says behind my back that I am a bitch who seduced the master. , but we are servants and the master insists, so what can I do!"
Ping Niang didn't agree with Hanqiao's approach from the bottom of her heart. She was just used to being cautious at home and didn't express opinions easily, let alone talk about people behind their backs.
So when Ping Niang heard that Han Qiao suddenly had a heart-to-heart talk with her, she didn't know what to say.
"Both of us are miserable people who can't help ourselves..." Hanqiao continued to play the emotional card.
Mrs. Xu is completely offended. Mrs. Xu is not Shen Zhonglei. No matter how much she admits her mistake or how eloquent she is, Mrs. Xu will not be half-hearted.
So Hanqiao didn't want to make any other enemies at home.
Ping Niang has a daughter by her side. Although she does not have a high status in the Shen family, she is better than stable.
The most important thing is that Ping Niang is old and has no son, so she does not pose any threat to her.
Hanqiao didn't expect to develop a deep friendship with Pingniang. As long as we could get along peacefully and not get in each other's way, that would be great.
"I don't dare to expect my sister to take more care of me in the future. I just ask that you don't despise me like others and just ignore me..."
Hanqiao became more and more emotional as she talked, and she was almost moved by herself.
Ping Niang's face became increasingly ugly. She frowned and pursed her lips, as if she was trying her best to endure something.
"Sister, what are you..." Hanqiao talked to herself for a long time, and finally realized that something was wrong in the atmosphere, and raised her head to look at Ping Niang.
Finally, Ping Niang couldn't control herself and ran quickly to the corner of the room, walked around the screen, and retched into the bucket of children and grandchildren.
Hanqiao: "..."
As for what?
Are what I just said so disgusting?
