Yunchu looked at Tingyu with a complicated expression.
Tingyu and Tingshuang were born in the same year. She is twenty years old this year and is already the mother of a four-year-old child.
Tingyu and Tingshuang have been by her side to serve her since she could remember. Tingshuang is calm and Tingyu is attentive. They feel like sisters to her.
When she was twelve years old, she accidentally slipped and fell into the water. Tingyu jumped in and rescued her. However, Tingyu himself did not get to the shore in time, so he was in a coma for more than half a month.
Tingyu saved her, so even if Tingyu climbed into Xie Jingyu's bed with her on his back, she never really blamed Tingyu.
Until something happened to the Yun family later, Tingyu chose to join the Xie family and ordered Xie Shiyun to deliver the cup of poison in front of her.
She couldn't let go of what happened in her previous life.
Tingyu saved him, but he also betrayed her. The two were incompatible, so she treated Tingyu coldly.
But Tingyu came over again and again.
A person who is greedy will sooner or later get into trouble because of his greed.
"Mother!"
Just as she was thinking about it, Xie Shiyun threw herself into her arms.
This child was brought to her as soon as he was born. Except for Tingyu to nurse him, he spent the rest of his time growing up by her side.
It wasn't until Brother Yun was three years old that she moved out of her bedroom and lived with Tingyu in a side courtyard.
"Mom, I haven't had a meal with you for a long time, and I haven't seen you for a long time." Xie Shiyun curled his lips aggrievedly, "Does mother not like me anymore?"
Yun Chu's smile couldn't reach his eyes: "Brother Yun has grown up, it's time to learn the rules."
Tingyu quickly pulled her son over: "I will restrain Brother Yun from now on. Madam, please eat the hot soup and drink it quickly."
"Aunt Yu is now half a master, so don't always go to the kitchen to do these menial tasks." Yun Chu said lightly, "I'm tired, you can leave."
Tingyu nodded and took Xie Shiyun out.
"Auntie, why did my mother ignore me?" Xie Shiyun felt extremely aggrieved, "Obviously it wasn't like this before..."
Ting Yu didn’t understand why. My wife clearly cared about Brother Yun in the past, but now she didn’t even want to say a word. What went wrong...
Yun Chu entered the side hall, and as soon as the door closed, Chu Hongyu rushed over from the side and hugged her.
The little guy raised his head and asked, "That kid called you mother just now. Is he your son?"
Yun Chu laughed: "Why are you asking this?"
"I'm jealous of him." Chu Hongyu bit her lips, "Jealous that he can openly call you mother, jealous that he can see you every day, I want to be him."
Yunchu said softly: "You are who you are, you don't need to become anyone else."
"If it weren't for the fact that my sister is still at home, I really want to never go back." Chu Hongyu opened her big dark eyes, "Mother, my sister is very beautiful and cute, but she can't speak. You will like it A child who can’t talk?”
Yunchu was a little surprised.
Everyone in the capital knew that Prince Pingxi had a pair of children, but no one had ever heard of anyone mentioning that the little princess of Prince Pingxi's palace was mute.
Her voice was gentler: "If she is as well-behaved and sensible as you, of course I will like her."
Being praised for being clever and sensible, Chu Hongyu was so happy that she couldn't even close her mouth.
Just when Shuang came to report some matters, the little guy said very sensibly: "I'm going to read a book, so I won't disturb mother's work."
He walked to the short table in the side hall and took out a book from somewhere. He looked at it seriously. His short legs could not touch the ground and it was dangling in the air.
A smile that he hadn't even realized appeared on Yun Chu's face.
She turned her head and said softly: "Assign someone to guard Pingxi Palace. If there is any trouble, come back and report immediately."
Tingfeng took the order and went to the front yard to make arrangements.
Tingshuang took the account book and carefully reported the revenue of the outside shop Zhuangzi last month.
Listening to those numbers, Yun Chu slowly frowned.
Just like in her previous life, the villages outside her city were getting worse and worse, slowly going downhill, and then they were all sold.
She had to think carefully about other businesses besides ice cubes that would be more profitable...
While she was talking to Tingshuang here, Chu Hongyu felt more and more bored. He didn't like reading, so it was remarkable that he could read quietly for a quarter of an hour. The key was that he didn't know many words in the book, and he couldn't even read it. I don’t understand, it’s so tiring to pretend.
"Mom, I need to pee."
The little guy jumped down from the couch, and Tingxue went over and led him towards Gong's room at the back.
Because Shengju had a child, Tingshuang sent all the ladies and maids in the yard to attend to the birthday banquet. The only maids in the whole yard were the maids brought from the Yun family.
Chu Hongyu peed in the palace and saw a bunch of ants beside the window. He followed the ants to the other side out of curiosity.
He didn't know where he was going when he saw a group of people suddenly appear in front of him. He remembered Yun Chu's words and quickly hid in the grass beside him.
The people in front are the old lady and Yuanshi, who are admiring flowers in the yard.
"As long as you keep an eye on the old lady, everything will be ready for the birthday banquet and nothing will go wrong." Yuanshi said with a smile, "Jingyu said that Chu'er will also attend the birthday banquet to help entertain the guests, and then those rumors on the streets will automatically It’s over now, the old lady doesn’t have to worry anymore.”
The old lady said coldly: "Why, it seems like a gift for her, a junior, to attend an elder's birthday banquet. Should I be grateful?"
Yuan didn't know what to say. The old lady used to like Chu'er, but after these events, she became prejudiced against Chu'er. No matter what she said, it was useless.
"She did not give my Xie family a son and a half, which is the first of the seven sins of being childless. Not being filial to the elders is the second, and claiming she is ill and ignoring household chores is the third." The old lady said in a deep voice, "Slapping my husband is the first. Fourth, she has violated four of the seven, do you think my Xie family can still tolerate her?"
Yuanshi smiled bitterly, why did he talk about divorcing his wife again?
Chu'er has been acting more willfully recently, but in the past four or five years, he has been following the rules and can't fault anything internally or externally. You can't completely deny a person just because of his temporary willfulness.
But she knew that if she tried to persuade her at this time, it would only make the old lady even more angry, so she had to hold back these words.
"She has a higher family status. How else can she compare to our Jing Yu?" the old lady said bitterly, "Jing Yu is knowledgeable, talented, and outstanding in appearance. In the whole capital, there are only men with both talents and looks like him. I couldn’t choose the second one. Yun Chu was really wronged by her, and she was slapped in the face. If I have a chance in the future, I will definitely let Jing Yu slap him back..."
Chu Hongyu, who was hiding in the grass, clenched her fists.
My mother is better than that man named Xie Heyu. This old woman is so dim-sighted that she said such outrageous things.
He actually wants to slap my mother, what kind of daydream is this?
Chu Hongyu wanted to jump out and scold Old Mrs. Xie angrily.
But he was afraid that his existence would be discovered. In this case, his mother would definitely not allow him to come to Xie's house again.
what can we do about it?
The little guy rolled his eyes and immediately became concerned.
Isn’t the old woman going to celebrate her birthday? Well, let her have an unforgettable birthday party.
