It turned out that the moment the main house was quiet, Mrs. Bo was waiting for her second wife, Mrs. Yao. Of course, Mrs. Yao knew that her daughter had gone to the main courtyard in the afternoon, but she didn’t think much about it. Although it was not the time to say hello, among the several granddaughters , Mrs. Bo values her daughter most, and her daughter often goes to the main courtyard to talk to Mrs. Bo during the greeting time.
So after dinner, Lu Wu went to Yinghe Courtyard to tell Mrs. Bo and invited her to the main courtyard. Mrs. Yao thought that Mrs. Bo wanted to talk to her about the matter of being a doctor in the Ministry of War. She thought that Shen Shui and other three maids were waiting for her in the morning. Could it be that there was an echo so quickly about being taken away by Yu Yapo from Liu'er Hutong?
When Mrs. Yao hurried to the main courtyard, she happened to meet her husband who came back from outside smelling of alcohol.
"A woman's kindness! Okay, okay, you are a living Bodhisattva and have great kindness. I will let your...your mother-in-law fill this hole!"
When Yao saw her husband, she had just blessed her body. Before she could utter nagging words such as "Why did you drink so much again? It hurts your body too much", Geng Cheng pointed at her face and scolded her so harshly. G.
"Girl, although I used to think that the second master... was not a good person and had a stern look on his face, I have never heard him speak so loudly. I still said it to the second wife, tsk tsk, let alone the second wife. I was stunned by the scolding, and the servants in the main courtyard and the slaves were all shocked."
"What happened next?" Hua Lian was eager to hear the follow-up.
"Later, Mrs. Bo called the second master and second wife in."
Although Mrs. Bo was in a bad mood, she did not lose her mind, so she first scolded her second son severely. After all, no matter what, the matter ultimately boiled down to him.
She asked someone to tell her son what happened today. However, because he was outside, she was afraid that the walls would have ears, so she only told the story itself. As for the reason, process, etc., she did not mention anything. The purpose was to ask her son to come back soon to discuss what to do. deal with.
Unexpectedly, it was such a coincidence that the couple met outside her courtyard. The son thought that the three maids could get out of Yu Yapo's house because the daughter-in-law was soft-hearted.
In fact, this cannot be blamed on the son. In fact, the son originally wanted to bring Qiuye Dongmei from Yingheyuan with him. These two maids are also very good-looking. If there are two more people, there may be one more one there, but My daughter-in-law strongly disagreed.
Not to mention the son, even Mrs. Bo herself felt that the second daughter-in-law was a kind person.
But today's matter really has nothing to do with my daughter-in-law, but my son...
At this time, Mrs. Bo could only scold Geng Cheng and appease Mr. Yao.
"Who gave birth to Shen Shui? Is it Mother Tan?"
Hua Lian asked curiously, she had thought about this problem since she learned in the afternoon that Shen Shui was actually the second master's flesh and blood.
"Girl, do you think so?"
"Are you testing me? I guess not."
Geng Xingshuang has naturally thought about this issue. In the afternoon, Geng Xingchen also discussed this issue with her for a long time. She and Hua Lian had the same idea. They both asked Mama Tan from the words of Yan's mother and looked at her face. Shen Shui's true identity can be seen in this sentence.
"I must have asked too openly. The girl heard it from my tone." Jinbao felt that he was not very good at acting.
"Hmph, I underestimated your girl. Think about it. Well, Jinbao hasn't been in the house long enough. Think about it. Over the years, have you heard any servant in the house say that Mother Tan has been away for a long time? ? At least more than half a year."
Even if you can't tell that you are pregnant, the time it takes for your body to recover after giving birth is at least half a year.
Mother Tan and Mother Yan were the right-hand men of the second wife, Yao. If one of them had been away for such a long time, it would have attracted the attention of the people in the mansion.
Moreover... Tan's mother is really average-looking, and the second uncle's two wives are much prettier than Tan's mother.
Hua Lian thought for a moment, "Sister Shen Shui is seventeen this year, which is just a false age. It is now the fourteenth year of Shengning, which means that she was born in the twentieth year of Changning. At that time, the slave was not born yet, but the slave's mother When I was still in the mansion, my servant heard what my mother said. At that time, my uncle was still an official, and the mansion was not as... so depressed as it is now. They all thought that with my uncle's ability, he might one day be awarded a title. It can still be passed on to one or two generations. If it is like the Yongqing Marquis Mansion and earns a hereditary replacement, it will really be like smoke rising from the ancestral grave.
Therefore, the government was very strict at that time. The uncle made it clear that if anyone in the family did something extraordinary and affected the family's major affairs, the lighter case would be sold, and the worst case would be directly beaten to death. Therefore, if the elder in the second wife's room was The maid disappeared for more than half a year. Not to mention that Tan's mother is still doing her job well, even the second wife and the second master will definitely be affected. "
generator Just take her into the room. To say the least, even if the second aunt is not willing, in order to avoid causing trouble, the best way according to the second aunt's idea is to take her in first. How to make plans later? If she is a daughter-in-law, the second uncle back then Probably not too daring;
As for whether the second uncle raised the aunt, not to mention whether the second uncle had so much money at the time, let's say that if the aunt gave birth to a child, he didn't come to the house to recognize her, and even let his daughter do it. Maid, this possibility should be very small, unless the second aunt did something in it, but seeing the way the third sister acted today, and the way the second uncle yelled at the second aunt, the couple seemed to be kept in the dark about this matter. Shen Shui is related to Tan's mother, so I guess Shen Shui's mother has a close relationship with Tan's mother, and is most likely a servant of the Yao family. "
Mother Tan and Mother Yan are both the maids of the second aunt. Only in this way can we explain what happened today.
But as for Geng Xingbing's thoughts, Geng Xingshuang still has no clue until now.
"The girl is awesome, but she is not from the Yao family. Miss, you didn't hear it. When Mrs. Bo asked the second master, the second master didn't even realize who Shen Shui was. Mother Qiao reminded her that she was the third girl's maid. This one was almost killed. Sold it, fortunately the third girl reminded me in time, so I didn't make a big mistake.
When the second master heard this, he scolded the second lady again and called the third girl over, saying that they had ruined his important event. "
"Then what?" Hua Lian asked quickly, thinking this was more interesting than listening to a play.
The eyes of Geng Xingshuang and Hua Lian were shining brightly even in the dim candlelight.
"Kneel down!"
"Ah?" Hua Lian was startled and almost knelt down involuntarily.
"Sister Huadian, this is what Mrs. Bo said. She asked the second master to kneel down." Jinbao explained.
"Jinbao, you can compete with the storyteller in the teahouse for business." Geng Xingshuang joked.
"Although the second master didn't understand, he still knelt down. Then Mrs. Qiao asked Mother Qiao to tell the second master exactly what happened today, and then... the second master stopped."
"Paused? What do you mean?"
"Even though he was stunned, the second master seemed to be reminiscing for a long time, but he didn't think of anything related to Shen Shui Niang."
Geng Xingshuang and Hua Lian were stunned for a moment, and Geng Xingshuang also paused.
"Is Second Uncle's memory so bad?"
The person who served Yao family to the main courtyard happened to be Mother Tan. Seeing that Geng Cheng not only didn't miss or apologize at all, she even forgot that there had been such a person. , rushed forward suddenly, grabbed Geng Cheng's hair and clothes and pulled hard, slapping his hands with his fists, crying and cursing angrily.
"You beast, you have harmed my sister all her life and her life. Now you are going to harm your own daughter as well. You beast, you are not worthy of being a human being, let alone an official. Why don't you die, ah... Why don't you die, you beast..."
"Mama Tan's move was too fast. Mrs. Bo, Mrs. Qiao, Mama Qiao, and Lu Wu had no time to stop them. Even the second master himself only shouted, 'You evil slave' after Mama Tan finished her scolding." ’, just then he pulled the person away with great force."
