The Road to Doting Wife

Chapter 162 The money can make a ghost run the mill

It was nearly June, and the weather was getting hotter day by day. The female relatives in the capital didn't like to go out, and hid in their houses to cool off.

So when the little maid said that Zeng Xuerou was here, Ah Ju was very surprised and asked her daughter to wait obediently in the room. Hold the umbrella firmly to keep the sun from shining on her.

Counting the days, Zeng Xuerou's belly has been five months old.

Ah Ju couldn't help complaining to her: "If there's anything that needs to be done, just let the servant girl run over, why do you have to come here in person?"

Zeng Xuerou coquettishly smiled: "I miss my cousin and Cancan, so come and have a look, the carriage is moving slowly, don't worry about my cousin."

What else can Ah Ju say, help people into the house, and order the maids to serve the melons and fruits distributed in the well.

Cancan looked at Biaogu's belly curiously.

Zeng Xuerou called the little girl to her side and asked her, "Cancan said, is the one in Biaogu's stomach a younger brother or a younger sister?"

Cancan touched it cautiously, raised her head and said, "Brother!"

Zeng Xuerou chuckled, touched the little girl's head and said, "The one who is older than you is called brother."

Cancan may understand, but she just likes to play tricks, and she still touches her cousin's belly and calls her brother.Worried about her daughter getting into trouble, Aju hugged Cancan into her arms, turned her head and asked Zeng Xuerou, "Is there something wrong?"

Zeng Xuerou smiled and said: "The old lady will celebrate her [-]th birthday on the eighth day of next month. I will send someone to post in the past two days. I want to come and take a look when I have nothing to do. By the way, I will save the trouble for the next person. Biao sister-in-law remember to go there early , bring Cancan there too, our old lady has been talking about Cancan all the time."

"No wonder you came here." Mrs. Li was very kind to her, and Ah Ju of course agreed, and asked what other guests he had invited.Hearing that the Li family invited Concubine Jing, Ah Ju was stunned, but after thinking about it, Mrs. Li had been on the battlefield, and even the emperor and queen respected her old man, so it is normal for the Li family to have contacts with the two palaces.

"Cancan is still young, so I won't take her there, stay at home with her grandmother to relieve boredom." While her daughter was running to the kang to pick up things, Ah Ju whispered softly to Zeng Xue.Concubine Jing probably brought Fu Geer with her in the past, and it was not long before the Peony Banquet, Aju was afraid that those female relatives would think of Concubine Shu's words when they saw the two children playing together.

Zeng Xuerou had also heard about that, and understood Ah Ju's concerns, so she didn't force her anymore.

After sending Zeng Xuerou away, Ah Ju carried her daughter to Xinlan Garden.

Ning nodded, looking at her granddaughter who was sitting in front of the window sill and playing with the orchid bonsai, and said in a low voice: "It's nothing to befriend Princess Jing, Cancan and Brother Fu should stay far away, so that they don't have to play with each other when they were young." It’s good that when you grow up, you will have other thoughts.” Now that the crown prince is still undecided, if King Jing succeeds, Fu Ge’er will be the crown prince as the eldest son, and the prince at the last time. Which prince has only one wife?If King Rui succeeds to the throne, King Jing's Mansion will be even more difficult to find.

Ah Ju also thought the same way. With her mother-in-law's affirmation, she let go of her heart and said instead: "I have to trouble my mother to take care of Cancan again."

Ning gave her a scolding look: "Cancan is my granddaughter, she said she was not bothering you, and she became polite to me."

Ah Ju smiled helplessly, the older the daughter was, the more mischievous she became, and taking care of her was really tiring.

After lunch with Ning, Ah Ju hugged her daughter and looked back at the bamboo pavilion for a rest.

Cancan was tired from playing all morning, and fell asleep in her mother's arms for a while, wearing only a big red bellyband, her chubby little arms and legs were exposed.Ah Ju lay on her side beside her daughter with her arms propped up, thinking of Zeng Xuerou who she met this morning, she suddenly became a little irritable.

She envied Zeng Xuerou's belly.

Ah Ju wanted to give birth to a son sooner, so she was willing to bear Zhao Chen's troubles at night no matter how fierce they were, but she hadn't conceived so many times until now. Not pregnant for a long time.If the menstrual event still comes on time this time, she will ask the doctor to come into the mansion to have a look.

When Zhao Chen came back in the evening, he insisted on Aju to take a bath for him, but Aju couldn't resist him, and made the floor of the side room full of water.After coaxing Cancan to sleep at night, Aju was telling him about Mrs. Li's birthday banquet, and Zhao Chen wanted to score twice, but Aju slapped his hands away and didn't want to do it.

"Aju..." Zhao Chen gnawed at his wife's shoulder, moving his hands back and forth, imagining how to make his wife distraught and infatuated before doing it again.

Knowing that he is clingy, Ah Ju turned around, pushed away the man's body that was about to roll up, and whispered: "Go to sleep, don't toss about."

Zhao Chen hugged her and messed around: "I don't want to torment you, but I want to give birth to a son soon."

I was even less interested in mentioning this Ah Ju, and said angrily: "It's because you have too many times that you didn't get pregnant."

Zhao Chen paused for a moment, then couldn't help laughing, stopped moving, just hugged the person and shouted: "What's the reason, the more times you get pregnant, the easier it is to get pregnant, if I don't come once, it will be strange if I get pregnant. "

"Have you had enough in the past six months, why didn't you get pregnant?" Ah Ju leaned into his arms, and pointed his chest dissatisfiedly, "Everything is too late, anyway, you are not allowed to do it, and from now on it will be at most once a day."

"Okay, okay, listen to you, just once." His wife was obviously unhappy because of the pregnancy, Zhao Chen no longer forced her, and only whispered, "I knew I could only come once today, so I would stay after dinner." Oh, the shower was too hasty..."

Ah Ju covered his mouth to stop him from speaking, lest General Zhao, who had just died down, regain his spirits.

Zhao Chen kissed her palm, and after his wife shrank back timidly, he changed into a comfortable position, patted her on the back and said, "Sleep, I will come when it's time, don't worry, even if it's just Cancan, I'll be there." Satisfied."

Ah Ju didn't believe it, and she wasn't satisfied either. She liked her daughter, but she also wanted to have a son, the more the better.

Zeng Xuerou came to Yanping Marquis Mansion to send posts, and of course she also sent them to Rongshou Hall. The little girls usually have nothing to do, so they rely on these things to relieve boredom. They gather together to talk about Li's affairs, and secretly envy the big maid beside Mrs. Tai , can go out with Mrs. Tai as a guest.

Someone heard the news and kept it in their hearts.

In the afternoon of this day, the sun scorched the earth fiercely, and a basin of water was poured outside, and it dried up in a short while.

In Weifang Garden, Madam Xu, who was in charge of guarding Mrs. Qin, yawned and walked to the door of the inner room to have a look. Seeing Mrs. Qin resting on the kang, she ordered her maid Xiaoying who had been by her side to clean up the table. With the leftovers on the table, the two walked outside together.After leaving the door, Xiaoying went directly to the kitchen. While locking the door, Madam Xu said to the two sturdy servant girls who were guarding outside: "Be honest and watch here, and you are not allowed to go anywhere. If there is a slight difference, just wait and go." Lord Hou, give me your head."

She would say these words every day when Qin Shi left after reading, and the two maids were tired of hearing it, so they answered absent-mindedly.

Madam Xu didn't bother to remind them how powerful it was.First of all, the Qin family is honest now, and has long lost the arrogance of the past, and eats fast and chant Buddha like a walking corpse every day.Secondly, the windows were all nailed up, and the key was in her hand, so even if Qin wanted to go out, she had nowhere to go.

She went to sleep in the wing with peace of mind.

Knowing that hidden in the leaves screaming non-stop, the two gatekeeper maids hid in the shadows and dozed against the wall, not noticing a figure sneaking around behind the main room.

There were two muffled sounds from the wooden window, Qin sat up abruptly, leaned in front of the window and said in a low voice: "Say." The voice was still pleasant, but it was very suppressed and filled with deep hatred.

"Ma'am, I heard from this servant that Mrs. Tai and Mrs. Lin will go to Yunyang Hou's Mansion to celebrate Mrs. Li's birthday in the future."

Qin's expressionless face: "Where is that woman?"

"She doesn't go out very much, she should stay in Xinlan Garden."

Mrs. Qin also expected it, and without asking any more questions, she stuffed a one hundred tael silver ticket out along the gap between the wooden boards, "If you do one more thing for me the next morning, I will give you 1000 tael, and you take the silver note." Tickets to escape immediately, in time."

The bank notes were taken away by someone outside, and Qin's hand was empty, so he heard the person outside say: "Ma'am, it's okay, this servant will definitely do it for you."

Qin smiled smugly.

Zhao Shen and Zhao Yunting probably never imagined that money can make ghosts turn the clock, and some people would not even want their lives for money.Back then when she married into the Hou's Mansion, she brought countless dowry, Zhao Yunting didn't care about using it, even if she was imprisoned in Zhuangzi, he didn't care about taking her things, so when she came back, the house was still the same as when she left.When their father and son know that these things they don't like have helped her, they don't know if they will regret it.

They won't let her have a good time, and she won't let them get what they want. She doesn't agree to leave Hou's mansion to live a better life.

Before I knew it, it was the eighth day of the eighth day.

Before dawn, Zhao Chen got up early as usual, and Ah Ju woke up too, but didn't get up, just lying in bed watching him.

"I'll come back early in the afternoon and go over there to pick you up." After changing his clothes, Zhao Chen walked to the edge of the kang, leaned over and kissed his wife.

Ah Ju shook her head, looked at his increasingly handsome face and said, "No need, let Baozhu see it and laugh at me again."

Zhao Chen looked into her eyes tenderly, "Then I'll ask Shang Ji Zhao to go there with her. She laughs at you, and you laugh at her too."

"Is this considered favoritism?" Ah Ju couldn't help laughing, and urged him in a low voice, "Okay, let's go, remember to eat."

It was time to go, Zhao Chen kissed his wife again, looked at his sleeping daughter next to him, and strode out of the house.

After he left, Ah Ju took out the handkerchief and wiped his body, then took it out to have a look, there was nothing on the handkerchief.Ah Ju was secretly happy, but she wasn't sure, it was only three days late, what if it was all for nothing?

Even so, she deserves to be happy, after all, there is hope.

After dinner in the morning, Ah Ju sent her daughter to Xinlan Garden, played with Cancan for a while, then slipped away while she was not paying attention, and immediately packed up her things and went to the Yunyang Hou Mansion for the banquet after returning to Wangzhuxuan.

Not long after Mrs. Ajutai left, Xiaoying, the servant girl next to Madam Xu, went to the Qin family, and said to the two maids guarding the door: "Mama Mama lost her purse, and I haven't found it after searching for a long time. It's probably for delivering breakfast." Time is here, let me come over and have a look." He said and took out the key.

She was the most valued person by Madam Xu, and the two gatekeepers stepped aside without any doubt.

Not long after Xiaoying entered, she suddenly yelled, and the two gatekeepers looked at each other, and hurried inside before entering the inner room. Before she could see the person clearly, she was hit on the head by a heavy object and collapsed.

In Xinlan Garden, Cancan had had enough playing with the orchids by herself, so she looked up to find her mother, but she couldn't find her. She got up and walked to the window sill to look outside, but she still couldn't find anyone.Cancan yelled in doubt, turned her head to look at her grandmother, her eyes were full of puzzlement, she pointed outside and called her mother.

The little girl looked pitiful, Ning called her granddaughter to her side, hugged her and coaxed her: "Mother is going to find my cousin, can grandma play with Cancan today?"

Cancan was in a hurry, "I'll go too!"

Ning skillfully fooled her granddaughter: "That can't be done, today my cousin's house is full of grown-ups, and Cancan hasn't grown up yet, so let your mother take you there when Cancan grows up."

Cancan understands a little bit, but she still looks sullen.

Ning kissed her granddaughter's little face, "Grandmother took Cancan to see flowers, will Cancan go?"

Cancan likes to play outside the most. Hearing this, she immediately forgot about her mother and pointed to the ground to put on her shoes. When she was putting on her shoes, she suddenly said, "Look at you!"

Ning pretended to be embarrassed and said: "Yo Yo, Yo Yo likes to run around, grandma doesn't know where it is now, why don't you go?"

"Go, go!" Cancan hugged her grandmother's arm and acted foolishly.

"Okay, okay, grandma took Cancan to find Yoyo!" Ning waited for the little girl to get anxious before agreeing.

Cancan was so happy, she threw herself into her grandmother's arms and let her carry her away.
