The general's wife is pretending to be weak again

Chapter 534

The next day, Mu Qingyu got up early on purpose and sent Li Zhao out for morning court.

She went back to the house to rest and got up, choosing a day is worse than hitting the day, she planned to go to Gao's house today.

The Gao family has fallen into disrepair, no different from an ordinary common people's family.

Even so, the Gao family has to thank Jin Shang thousands of times, at least they saved the lives of several members of the Gao family, and allowed them to stay in the capital without driving them away.

Mu Qingyu heard that Yang Wanyi was pregnant, so she asked Mo Zhu to pick some supplements from the warehouse, and also picked out a few bolts of soft and bright silk, so that she could make clothes for the children.

After getting ready, she took Mo Zhu into the carriage, and kept Miao Xiang guarding the general's mansion.

Mu Qingyu made this arrangement out of selfishness, Mo Zhu is not young, and will get married soon, so the time to stay by her side is not long.

So now, Mu Qingyu always takes Mo Zhu with him wherever he goes.

The Gao family is just an ordinary family now, and there is no need to post a post before visiting in the past. When I arrived at the Gao family, I did not expect that the current situation of the Gao family was even worse than Mu Qingyu imagined.

Mo Zhu helped Mu Qingyu get out of the carriage, and the two of them stared at the damp and half-rotted door, and looked inside through the crack of the door, only to see that the inside was even more dirty and messy.

Mo Zhu said: "Madam is waiting here, servants go in and take a look."

"Okay, you should be careful too."

Mo Zhu gently pushed the door open, for fear that a forceful push would break the door.

Before she could go in, a woman rushed out from inside.

The woman was dressed in coarse linen and held a basin of dirty clothes in her arms.

The woman's way was blocked, she originally wanted to open her mouth to curse, but when she saw that Mo Zhu was well dressed, she swallowed the curse words back.

"Who are you looking for?" The woman asked in a bad tone.

"I'm here to look for the Gao family, does this sister know where they are?" Mo Zhu took out a piece of broken silver from his bosom and stuffed it into the woman's hand.

The woman burst into laughter immediately, she hurriedly put away the money, for fear that Mo Zhu would go back because of regret.

"Gao's family, they live in the two westernmost rooms. Here you see, they are the two worst rooms." The woman pointed to the west.

Mo Zhu looked over and covered his mouth with his hand in surprise, "I heard that Gao's family used to be a family of officials and eunuchs, how did they get reduced to this point?"

The two west wing rooms that the woman refers to are the two most dilapidated rooms in this house.

Mo Zhu hadn't seen such a dilapidated house for a long time. Before she entered Dingguo's mansion, she lived in a much better place than this.

"Young lady also said that it happened in the past," the woman simply put the basin in her arms on the ground, and said vividly, "That family didn't live here originally, but lived in a few alleys away. A good house is still a single-family house. It is said that the man of that family got into the gambling house all day and night for some reason. The girl knows that the gambling house is there. The men lost all their family savings and they had to move here."

Mo Zhu turned her head and saw Mu Qingyu nodding to herself, she turned her head away again.

"Thank you for telling me this." Mo Zhu stuffed another piece of broken silver into the woman's hand.

The woman thanked her and left.

"I'll go in with you." Mu Qingyu walked over.

So the master and servant went inside together, followed by the two guards that Li Zhao specially sent to protect Mu Qingyu.

The two walked to the west wing, Mo Zhu went to check first, and then saw Yang Wanyi in the innermost wing.

Mu Qingyu walked in, and sure enough, she saw Yang Wanyi who was sitting on a chair embroidering.

Yang Wanyi raised her head after hearing footsteps, and when she saw Mu Qingyu, a smile appeared on her skinny face.

"Why did you come here? It's dirty and messy here, don't come in." Yang Wanyi put down the things in her hands and hurriedly pushed Mu Qingyu out.

Mu Qingyu said: "It's okay, I'm here to see you, and I'll be leaving in a while."

Yang Wanyi was about to give birth, her body was heavy, and it took her a lot of energy to walk a few steps.

Seeing this, Mu Qingyu and Mo Zhu helped Yang Wanyi in, and let her sit down on the chair.

Mu Qingyu looked around. The furniture in the room was simple and tattered. There were even many cobwebs in the corners of the beams, and there were many mildew spots on the walls due to dampness.

Mu Qingyu's throat was sore and he couldn't speak.

Yang Wanyi smiled, "Do you think I'm living a hard life?"

Mu Qingyu pursed her lips, but did not answer.

"But I don't think so," Yang Wanyi's eyes glowed strangely, "I think Vice General Qian has told you about me, as long as the Gao family has changed from the home of Zhongming Dingshi to what it is now, I will I feel happy in my heart. You don’t know, my mother-in-law and sister-in-law are now helping people wash clothes for some money to barely survive. My husband has become a small street vendor, leaving early and returning late every day. Home, there will never be a bright future again."

Mu Qingyu was in a complicated mood. Looking at Yang Wanyi's stomach, she couldn't help but sadly said: "Why do you put yourself in for the sake of the Gao family? There is also a child, what should the child do?"

Yang Wanyi lowered her head, she couldn't laugh anymore, "This child belongs to the Gao family, don't worry, I've already thought about it."

Mu Qingyu sat with Yang Wanyi for a while, and asked Mo Zhu to bring over the things she had prepared.

Yang Wanyi only kept one piece of silk, and refused to accept the rest.

"These are enough for making clothes, you take the rest back, I don't need them, and I don't want to make the Gao family cheaper."

Mu Qingyu originally wanted to put the things down and leave, but Yang Wanyi insisted on carrying the things back to her carriage.

She was afraid that something might happen to Yang Wanyi, so she asked Mo Zhu to take the things away.

"Don't see me off," Mu Qingyu said, "I'll come and see you when I'm free."

Yang Wanyi just smiled and didn't speak.Maybe the next time Mu Qingyu comes over, she won't be here.

Mu Qingyu went out, but unexpectedly ran into two familiar people.

It was Gao Tingzhi's mother and sister, Jin Shi and Gao Ruohua.

The two were dressed in coarse linen clothes, with a dark scarf tied on their heads, Mu Qingyu almost didn't recognize them.

Seeing Mu Qingyu, those two hurriedly lowered their heads and turned their backs, not wanting Mu Qingyu to see their despondent appearance.

Mu Qingyu pretended not to notice, and left calmly.

After the carriage from the General's Mansion left, Gao Ruohua stared angrily at the direction the carriage was leaving, jealousy and anger gushed out of her eyes.

Jin patted her hand and said, "Everyone is gone, go back."

"Mother, I'm not reconciled! Do we want to go on like this forever?" Gao Ruohua said excitedly.

If she had been so poor since birth, she would have admitted it.

But she had also been well-clothed and sought after by others, and every day like this was a torment.
