first princess

Chapter 191: Punish Aunt Evil (4)
Her husband was originally a forest guard in a lush forest outside the capital, but he was suddenly severely injured a few months ago. If he hadn't pretended to be dead and rolled to the bottom of the lake to escape the catastrophe, he might have been separated from her now.Remember what the murderer looked like?Untouchables like them don't even have the money to hire someone to write a pleading paper, let alone go to court with a person who is skilled in martial arts and presumably has a high status.In order to heal her husband's injuries, the mother-in-law decided to sell her daughter. She was desperately looking for life and death, but the mother-in-law did not hand over her daughter to the traffickers.But she knew that if she came out to do things without her daughter, her mother-in-law could sell her daughter when she turned around.Fortunately, she gave birth to a son in the second child, otherwise, she really couldn't do things with peace of mind.Xiaoxia held back her heartache and longing, and asked, "If you want to, you can feel wronged. Dad needs money for medical treatment, and the whole family needs money for food. Auntie helps us take care of our younger brother. Should we also get some money from auntie?"

Xiao Qiuyan counted on her fingers, half understanding: "How much does it cost?"

Xiaoxia's eyes flashed, and she said: "Mother's brain is not bright, she can't figure it out, anyway, it's a lot!" It's an astronomical figure, a better wound medicine costs 30 taels a month, and this is just wound medicine, not counting the body. The expensive food, the living expenses of the whole family, the doctor’s money for the elderly, the personal money of the younger siblings, the annual taxes... Her current allowance is four taels a month, which is far from carrying the burden of the family...

Xiao Xia only felt that there was a big mountain on her head, and she was about to be out of breath, but when she thought of her husband who was seriously injured at home, her son who was crying for food, and her well-behaved daughter, she felt that she had to persevere!Holding her daughter on her lap, she said earnestly, "This job is very good. Mother can get a lot of money every month, and she is not tired. Mother can use the extra time to make clothes for dad. Dad can't finish wearing them. Mother It can also be sold on the street, which is another fortune. The most important thing is that your mother can take you by your side. You can eat well, drink well, and dress well. You don’t have to be separated from your mother, and you don’t have to worry about grandma selling you out Come on, tell me, is it worth it to suffer a little?"

Xiao Qiuyan thought of those ferocious human traffickers, and shivered in fright: "I know, I will behave better next time. I won't cry if anyone beats me, let them beat me, as long as I can stay by my mother's side good."

Xiao Xia nodded, and solemnly urged: "Protect your head and stomach."

When Zhuge Yu returned to the wisteria courtyard, Shui Linglong was catching up on sleep, her sister was next to her, and her brother was at the farthest.Zhuge Yu walked lightly to the edge of the bed and sat down, his obsidian-like eyes filled with satisfaction and happiness.

Zhi Fan opened the curtain and came in, whispering: "My lord, do you need to pass on food? Slaves..."

"Hush—" Zhuge Yu gestured, Zhi Fan covered his mouth, turned around and backed out.But Shui Linglong still woke up. Shui Linglong rubbed her bleary eyes and found that Zhuge Yu was looking at her with a smile, so she asked: "You're back, didn't you have dinner? I just happened to not eat either."

Zhuge Yu looked at the blue crows in her eyes, and his heart moved: "Is it hard to take care of children?"

"It's not hard work, it's just that I can't sleep all the time. I have to wake up every other hour to breastfeed, so I don't have enough sleep. I'll get used to it after a while." Shui Linglong replied calmly.

Zhuge Yu frowned, and wanted to say, "How can I go on like this? Let's find a suitable nurse for my sister", but his eyes swept across his daughter's palm-sized body, and her throat seemed to be stuck like a stone , I couldn't get a word out.

Shui Linglong sat up, intending to bow and put on her shoes.Zhuge Yu squatted down and picked up her feet: "I'll do it." Shui Linglong was taken aback, this...is it against the rules?How can a man put shoes on a woman?
Zhuge Yu put the embroidered shoes on her feet, with a natural expression, as if there was nothing wrong with putting down his body and serving her like a wife and slave. In fact, he didn't really think it was right, but he just thought that it was not easy for her to give birth prematurely, and also thought that his daughter was weak and difficult. Belt, he felt distressed just looking at her, facing her all day long, having to hug, feed, and coax, the pressure he endured was far beyond his imagination.She made a huge sacrifice, and there was nothing he couldn't sacrifice, not even his knees that had never bowed in 20 years.

"Let's pass on the meal." Zhuge Yu raised his head and smiled fondly.

Shui Linglong nodded: "Okay."

After the two had dinner, Zhuge Yu took the initiative to talk to Shui Linglong about Shangguan and Brother Hao: "...She left Kashgar like this back then, but she didn't remarry, but lived alone with Zhuge Ling. She opened a cloth shop and lived a mediocre life. Five years ago, Zhuge Ling married the concubine son of a local dignitary. That man was from a foreign family and was not included in the genealogy. He had an independent mansion. Zhuge Ling had proposed She refused to bring her into the mansion for support. About a year later, after Zhuge Ling gave birth to brother Hao, she collapsed and died."

"Then how did she leave Nanyue and return to Dazhou?"

"Brother Hao's father also died last year. He went out on patrol and fell into the swamp. He didn't even salvage the body. She was afraid that Brother Hao would be poisoned by someone, so she let him go in the name of visiting the house." Huo, feign death, and bring Brother Hao out."

Shui Linglong understands that Brother Hao's father is a concubine from the outside family, and the reason why he is not included in the genealogy is that he has a very powerful aunt. The aunt cannot tolerate him, and she must also tolerate his son. Brother Hao took away his own family property, and the mother-in-law was very likely to poison Brother Hao.

"Father, have you verified the news about Nanyue?" Shui Linglong asked uncomfortably.

Zhuge Yu was neither in a hurry nor in a hurry, and said without the slightest emotional fluctuation: "I checked, there is indeed such a powerful person in Linzi, and he has indeed raised a concubine son outside, and he married Liu Ling, that is, my younger sister. There is a record. The cloth shop opened by Shangguanqian is also recorded in the government. She bought a farmer with a lot of money to adopt him, and she took the pseudonym Liu Qian." She never called Shangguanqian "mother" in words.

Shui Linglong held Zhuge Yu's Weiliang hand, Zhuge Yu's fingers moved, and then said nonchalantly: "From Nanyue to Dazhou, the money was stolen, so she can only do embroidery work to support herself and brother Hao. While slowly approaching Da Zhou, there is no carriage, stop and go all the way... I only got there this summer."

Been gone for almost a year!That is to say, Brother Hao has been wandering with the Shangguan clan since he was three years old, sleeping in the open. No wonder he is so... withdrawn, and his living habits are not good. Shui Linglong's eyes are on brother Hao's vigilance that he didn't even have in many adult years.I still remember that when we first met, she kindly gave him candies, but he was afraid that she might be poisoned, so he insisted on letting Zhifan try it, and after Zhifan finished the test, it proved that the candy was not poisonous, and he was probably afraid that she was spreading some bait, So grab the fruit plate and run away from the "potential danger".This child...she doesn't even know what to say.

"Did grandma know?" Shui Linglong asked again.

Zhuge Yu frowned: "I just found out, I cried so hard that I almost lost my breath, and wanted to hug Brother Hao, but Brother Hao has been hiding behind Shangguanqian, and he will go crazy if anyone approaches."

Shui Linglong leaned on Zhuge Yu's shoulder, and said: "Brother Hao is too out of gregarious, I can't do it, take advantage of his young age and high plasticity, find a way to make him normal." A four-year-old child should be enlightened, You have to have your own friends too.

Zhuge Yu and Shui Linglong thought about it together: "Yes, children from ordinary rich families start to read at the age of two or three, and ask their master to teach them at the age of four. Brother Hao can't even recognize his own name now. Father Wang and grandma After discussing, after the three cleaning banquets in the mansion, we will start teaching Brother Hao. Feng Yanying's Zhige is about the same age as Brother Hao. The king's father means that he should either send Brother Hao to Yao's house to study, or invite him to study. Brother Zhi went to the palace to study, and the two children made a companion."

Shui Linglong's fingers gently scratched Zhuge Yu's palm, Zhuge Yu looked at her, and she asked with a smile, "Are you willing to accept your mother?"

With a flash in Zhuge Yu's eyes, he stood up as if he hadn't heard, went to the bedside, picked up his son, and held it up high: "My son is awake, look!"

hush--
A bubble of boy's urine sprayed him all over his face...

In Pingtingxuan, Dong Jialin embroidered the inkstone screen and asked Xing'er to send it to the study of the king of the county. When Xing'er came back, Dong Jialin was staring at the three damasks in thought.

"When you and your elder brother get married with my fifth younger sister, our relationship will take another step forward. On the surface, I won't protect you too much, but as long as you keep yourself safe and don't make mistakes, I will try my best to take care of you."

Obviously, Shui Linglong's care is conditional, that is, she doesn't want her to do anything to hurt Qiao Hui!Obviously she was the one who met Shui Linglong first, and Qiao Hui was a latecomer. Even putting aside these things, since her brother and Shui Lingqing are about to get married, shouldn't Shui Linglong pay more attention to her?The same is true for the king of the county. She obviously fell in love with the king of the county first, but because of her status as an orphan, she lost to the daughter of the Hou family——Qiao Hui.But in fact, in what way is she inferior to Qiao Hui?
The more I think about it, the more unbalanced I feel.But not everyone is like Zhuge Shu, who will lose to jealousy and demons.Dong Jialin complained for a while, but finally persuaded herself to accept the reality.

Of course, as an excellent concubine, it is necessary to win over the husband, it is necessary to please the mother-in-law, and it is imperative to respect the mistress.After refining her goal, Dong Jialin was freed from the abyss of emotion, and she was full of energy again!

Xing'er watched her young lady go from resentment to anger, from anger to resentment, then to resentment, and finally she suddenly realized... All kinds of expressions were unpredictable, which made her heart fluctuate, afraid that she was not happy in her heart. Balance, blame the second young lady.Although she persuaded her aunt to compete for favor, she absolutely did not approve of her aunt killing the second young mistress in a frenzy.Dong Jialin's path was doomed from the moment she entered the mansion. She might be able to be a flat wife, but she was definitely not a first wife.The Second Young Mistress was not Qiao Hui, she could be someone else, but could others be as pure and kind as Qiao Hui?Not necessarily.

"Auntie." Xing'er walked to Dong Jialin's side, saw the makeup satin with different patterns on the table, and said, "Huh? Didn't the embroiderer just come to the house to make clothes for you? Who gave this material? Two Young mistress?"

Dong Jialin shook her head: "It's from the concubine."

"Huh?" Xing'er was dumbfounded.

Dong Jialin touched the gorgeous satin, and said: "I have said too much, and the imperial concubine's kindness is hard to refuse, so I brought back all of them. All of this is thanks to my brother."

I thought that the concubine Shizi wanted to win over my aunt to do something shameful, but I dared to think of the young master's face.The young master is at the top of the court, and with the support of the young master, the eldest son will be even more powerful. No wonder the imperial concubine treats the aunt with admiration.Xing'er poured a cup of tea and said with a smile, "Please drink, Auntie."

Dong Jialin pushed it away: "Put the tea aside, and cut the cloth for me first. This autumn-colored satin satin is just right for the second lady, and the pattern is also very special. It is not as vulgar as ordinary flowers and plants, but it is concise and elegant. Atmospheric. Time is running out, I have to make it overnight."
