As a result, Geng Shuhuai did not continue to stay in Suzhou, which made Geng Cheng and Ruan relieved that they finally did not raise a son for their in-laws.
But he followed Yang Qingmo to Pingcheng, and together they joined the Wucheng Escort Agency, the largest escort agency in Pingcheng, and became a reserve escort, and started acting as a escort seriously.
Geng Cheng and Ruan didn't understand that their future son-in-law would work as a bodyguard in any bodyguard agency if he was a good scholar. However, the in-laws didn't object, and they didn't understand why their son also wanted to be a bodyguard.
They didn't understand or understand, but in the end they didn't object. They just hoped that their son would come back to them often.
The three members of the Qingcuiyuan family were in a normal mood. In the Yingheyuan, while the masters were still in the main courtyard, Shen Shui, the prospective master who had not yet been named, was not as excited as the other maids in the uncle's house had imagined.
It is true that she no longer has to do the menial work that maids need to do, and she also wears clothes that only ladies from the uncle's house can wear, and Geng Xingbing's gold and jade jewelry, but she can't help but hear some disdainful gossip in her ears.
"I once heard my grandma say that some people's lives are sweet first and then bitter, and some people's lives are bitter first and then sweet. But there are still some people who cannot keep the sweet life. As long as something good happens, it won't take long. , bad things will definitely happen, and the bad things will far outweigh the original good things. It would be better not to have the original good things. Just like us, we are born to take human lives, so we will be a servant for the rest of our lives. At least we can still be safe. He is alive and his life is not difficult."
Shen Shui, who was staying in Geng Xingyu's house, heard what was said outside clearly. When the first word came out, she recognized that the owner of the voice was Qiuye, the maid in the wife's house.
"Sister Qiuye, what you mean is...even if that person becomes...a girl, life will not be easy?"
The other voice was softer, as if she was still taboo about something, but if she dared to respond, it didn't mean she was really taboo. After all, they all knew that Shen Shui could hear voices outside in the room.
"I didn't say that. As servants, how can we dare to talk about our master? Aren't we afraid of being sold to Yu Yapo and then sold to that dirty place?"
Qiuye's voice was neither loud nor quiet, but it contained a hint of intelligence.
"But..." Another voice wanted to ask something else, but Dongmei became a little impatient, "Okay, I have to go back. There are still a lot of things to do. My wife and the others will come back later. If the things haven't been finished yet, I But you will be punished.”
"Hey, isn't it from the wife's room? Take Joe everywhere!" Shen Shui couldn't hear the muttering clearly, only the footsteps gradually leaving.
Shen Shui felt a little worried. Did Qiuye know some news, or was she just deliberately saying specious words to disturb her mood just to make herself feel uncomfortable?
After all, the exposure of his identity was also related to Yan's mother. For this reason, Yan's mother was not only scolded by his wife, slapped on the palm, but also fined a year's monthly money. Qiuye made friends with Yan's mother's daughter Xiaojuan, and she Could it be that he was helping Xiaojuan vent her anger?
But in order to help Xiaojuan vent her anger, she was so sarcastic towards herself. Isn't she worried that she would cause trouble for her in the future? Even if she is an unpopular young lady, she is still a young lady, and her status naturally overwhelms the maid.
Or maybe Qiuye lives in his wife's house and feels that with his wife's protection, she, an unpopular young lady, can't do anything to her.
The mood of sinking was up and down, up and down, like a piece of driftwood bumping up and down in the waves. It had no point of strength and could be overturned by the waves at any time. Because of this series of conjectures, the whole person seemed to be in a state of confusion. Nervous and even fearful, like a string that could break at any time.
"Sister Shen Shui, is Sister Shen Shui here?" At this moment, a voice called softly.
Shen Shui was too immersed in her own thoughts, and the man called several times before she heard him.
Shen Shui was slightly startled at first, but quickly calmed down, with the same gentle smile on his face as before.
"Which sister is it?"
"Sister Shen Shui, it's me, Xiaomiao."
Shen Shui naturally knew Xiaomiao. She was the maid in the second wife's house. She was responsible for cleaning the yard with Yan's mother's daughter Xiaojuan and the two women. She had a good relationship with Xiaojuan. Why did she come to him? Could it be that she also came here? Ridiculing oneself.
Shen Shui let out a silent "ha".
"Sister Shen Shui, please open the window." Xiao Miao whispered outside the window.
Shen Shui hesitated for a moment, then opened the window and saw Xiaomiao looking around nervously, as if he was afraid of being seen.
"What do you want from me?"
"Sister Shen Shui, this is what Mother Tan asked me to give to you."
Xiao Miao quickly took out a letter from her lapel. The envelope was sealed tightly with wax. After handing the letter to Shen Shui, Xiao Miao said: "Sister Shen Shui, I have inquired. Mother Tan was sent to the Second Mrs. Zhuangzi in Ming County was attacked, and although he suffered a few blows, it was not fatal."
Tan’s mother?
Shen Shui took a deep look at Xiaomiao, who was still eager to tell her what she knew. She was told that she was the second master's flesh and blood, and that her biological father asked Mother Tan to bring her into the uncle's house for the sake of her life. People, even if this incident hadn't happened, she would have recognized her ancestors and returned to her clan in the near future.
But Shen Shui knew that this was a lie. It was a self-defeating reason they made up to explain his appearance. But he also knew that for this reason, Tan’s mother would not lose her life. But according to the punishment Xiaomiao said, it is indeed not possible. Heavy.
Based on her understanding of the second wife, even if Mrs. Tan was not maimed, she would be sold and sold to the dirtiest and worst place to do the hardest labor. Or was this just to silence the people in the house? A delaying strategy?
"Tan's mother said that my sister should know after reading the letter."
After Xiaomiao finished speaking, she left in a hurry.
After Xiaomiao left, Shen Shui opened the envelope and read it. Tan's mother knew how to read, but her writing was not good. Shen Shui could barely understand the meaning of a certain sentence while reading and contextualizing it, but as she looked at it, her eyes widened. Big, heartbeat speeds up, and breathing becomes rapid.
After reading it, I crumpled the letter into a ball and wanted to light it, but I was afraid that there was a smell of fire in the room. I wanted to swallow it in one gulp, but I hesitated.
The next day's ancestral hall opened the genealogy, and the process went smoothly. Although the elders of the Geng family had doubts, the patriarch Geng Ke and An Pingbo both agreed. Besides, she was just a daughter, and no one raised any objections on the spot.
Geng Xingshuang stood outside the ancestral hall with the female relatives of the uncle's house, just waiting for the lengthy procedures inside to be completed before they could have a rich lunch.
Thinking of the lunch meal, Geng Xingshuang, who had eaten half a steamed bun because she got up late in the morning, felt even more hungry. She even smelled the aroma of braised pork and the burnt aroma of fried small crispy fish.
The ancestral hall and the kitchen are located to the east of the uncle's house and the other to the west of the uncle's house. They are far apart and cannot be heard.
No, she had to think of something else, otherwise she would be drooling.
As he thought about it, Geng Xingshuang thought of Yang Qingmo in Pingcheng, and wondered whether his second brother was still on the road or had returned to Pingcheng.
Pingcheng
At this time, the situation of the two people who were worried about Geng Xingshuang had completely changed.
