The ultimate rebirth of the abandoned woman

Chapter 692 Another Rumor
As night fell, the entire capital was shrouded in darkness.

The lamps in the Wealthy Courtyard have been lit, only the main bedroom of the hostess is not lit.

Xiao Nan sat in the darkness, meditating silently.Oh, no, more precisely, she was hesitating: Should I tell Uncle Cui about this matter?
If it was according to the usual habit, Xiao Nan would tell Cui Youbo directly, because in recent years, as long as there is any major matter related to the fate of the family, the husband and wife would sit down and discuss it together.

And as Cui Youbo matured, Xiao Nan became more and more dependent on him. After all, she was a woman, and she might have the insight to see through some things in politics, but her scheming and thinking were still a bit weaker, not as good as those professional ones. Politicians are seasoned.

In this aspect, Cui Youbo is much better than her.

...then tell him? !
No way, Xiao Nan shook his head slowly, the occurrence of Wu's incident, Cui Youbo concealed many secrets from himself...these all became thorns in Xiao Nan's heart, always reminding her that Cui Youbo may not have the same heart and mind as her.

"Hu~~"

Xiao Nan let out a long breath, forget it, it’s better not to tell Uncle Cui about this matter for now, anyway, she promised A Niang that no third person will know about this matter, if she tells Uncle Cui again, she will break her promise to A Niang up.

Compared to Cui Youbo, Xiao Nan chooses to trust his own mother.

After recovering, Xiao Nan realized that the room was completely dark, only the moonlight pouring down from the window brought the room a little light.

"Come on."

Xiao Nan stood up and moved her body slightly. After sitting for so long, her neck and legs were a little stiff.

"lady!"

Yushui quickly pushed the door open and came in, bowed his knees and saluted.

"What time is it? Where are Erlang and the others?"

Xiao Nan lived in ancient times for two lifetimes, but he still hasn't learned the skill of estimating the time by looking at the sky.

"It's the last moment of the unitary era (19:15), and several young men and young ladies are playing in the main room, Feng Shanggong and Lady Xiao are watching." Yu Shui replied respectfully.

Lady Xiao in her mouth is also Yuzhu, since Yuzhu married Xiao Nan's companion Xiao Hai, except for Xiao Nan and Yuzan who still call her by her first name as usual, everyone in the house calls her Lady Xiao.

Yu Zhu gave birth to a son last year, Xiao Nan sympathized with her, let her have a full confinement, and arranged a light job for her so that she could take care of the child.

Now that the child is over one year old and can eat some supplementary food, Yuzhu entrusts the child to the care of her mother-in-law, and she returns to work as usual.

However, Yuzhu is married after all, so she can no longer be Xiao Nan's maid, so Xiao Nan arranges for her to take charge of the affairs of the quadruplets, and she can be regarded as the lady in charge of the inner courtyard.

Her job is very simple, that is to take good care of the quadruplets, and manage the maids and rough servants around the quadruplets.

As for the nurses of the quadruplets, as early as when they were three years old, Xiao Nan gave each of them a generous reward and sent them all away.

With the lesson of Consonance, Xiao Nan is no longer willing to hand over the child directly to the wet nurse.

However, Xiao Nan was too busy and didn't have enough time to raise the children herself, so she asked Feng Shanggong to take care of them.It's just that Feng Shanggong still has to manage a few ladies in charge. Although he doesn't have to watch them do things every day, he is not lighthearted.

Now that Yuzhu is back, Xiao Nan heaves a sigh of relief and asks Yuzhu to assist Feng Shanggong to take care of the quadruplets together.

Many people in the mansion gossip behind their backs when the majestic maid in charge was allowed to look after the children.

Some people say that Yuzhu has fallen out of favor, she could have become the first lady in charge of the inner courtyard like the iron lady, but now she is so despondent that she runs to become an 'old lady';
Others said that Yu Zhu had miscalculated, if she hadn't married back then, wouldn't she have become the most proud person around her wife just like Yuzan.You know, in the early years Xiao Nan relied more on the capable, crisp, and pungent Polygonatum odoratum.

Some even speculated darkly that Yuzhu must have done something wrong, and Madam gave her an embarrassing job because she couldn't deal with it because of affection.

Chinese people are like this, such diseases as jealousy and gloating have existed in ancient and modern times.

Facing everyone's benevolent or malicious pity gazes, Yuzhu didn't respond at all, they all smiled back, turned around and went to look after the quadruplets wholeheartedly.

Like Yuzan, Yuzhu understands her master's character very well. As long as she is loyal to her master and does her errands well, the master will definitely not treat her badly.

Besides, what happened to the baby?The same is to look after children, but you have to divide them into objects.

The importance of the quadruplets to Xiao Nan is unknown to others, but Yuzhu knows it well.

She served Xiao Nan personally in the early years, and since she knew that her wife had given birth to quadruplets, she began to consciously use contraception.She had been with his wife for more than ten years, and after thinking about it for a while, she understood the master's thoughts - no matter what the reason was, the lady didn't want to have another child.

The quadruplets are the youngest and last children of the wife.

On the surface, Madam may not be as dedicated to the quadruplets as she is to Da Niang and Da Lang, but everyone knows that Madam values ​​the quadruplets very much.And it is precisely because of not being able to feed them personally that the wife not only loves the quadruplets, but also has full of pity and guilt.

Adding up the three, the status of the quadruplets in Madam's mind is absolutely no lower than that of the eldest son Cui Lingshuo. To a certain extent, Madam places more importance on the quadruplets than the eldest son and eldest daughter.

Therefore, being able to be the lady in charge of the quadruplets is definitely Xiao Nan's trust in her.

How could the clever Polygonatum live up to this trust? !
In the past month, Yuzhu has devoted herself to serving the four children, taking care of their life and study properly, and Xiao Nan hardly needs to worry about it.

Just like at this moment, the time for the evening meal has long passed, but the mistress is alone in the room in a daze. If it were the same as before, the nurses would have carefully discussed it first, and waited and waited. They really couldn't wait any longer, and then Four more children were fed.

Now it is different, as soon as Yuzhu saw the meal, but the wife didn't show up, she directly ordered the kitchen to prepare meals for the young masters, and then stood aside, watching the maidservants serve the four children.

After the meal, Yuzhu strictly followed Xiao Nan's instructions and let the children play in the main room for half an hour.

Everything is in order, and it doesn't mess up just because the mistress is away, let alone make the children feel at a loss.

Xiao Nan was very satisfied with this, she nodded, "Very well, let the kitchen bring in the rice, I'll use it in the dormitory." The children were playing around in the main room, so it's not good for her to eat there.

"Yes, maidservant, let's go!"

Yu Shui bowed in response, and quickly turned and left.

Meanwhile, Guyu and Dashu walked in quickly and lit candles.For a moment, the bedroom was lit up instantly.

Then, they brought up a small food bed and placed it on the big kang at the pot gate.

At this time, the little maids from outside had already come in with food boxes, and quickly put the meals on the bed one by one. Despite their young age, the maids moved very briskly. During the whole process, they didn't make a single sound.

Xiao Nan took the wet handkerchief that Gu Yu handed over, wiped his hands, then sat cross-legged on the kang, and ate quietly.

A group of maids stood respectfully on both sides.

After finishing his meal and rinsing his mouth, Xiao Nan came to the main room.

In the house, Ah Mo followed Ah Xiao as usual, Chang Shun still accompanied Chang Shou, and Chang Tai still grabbed Chang Ning to endorse. Under the bright lights, the children were busy with their own affairs, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

As soon as Xiao Nan came in, Chang Tai noticed it first, he hurriedly pulled his younger brother to his feet, and bowed to A Niang to say hello.

Changshun, Ah Mu and others also got up one after another.

"Hehe, what are you all busy with?"

Xiao Nan waved the children to get up, walked up to them, and checked their 'homework' one by one——

Well, Ah Xiao's painting skills have improved, at least Xiao Nan can clearly recognize that the person in her painting is Ah Mo;

Changshou is still independent. He carried it with a knife before, and now he is smashed with a wooden boat. In front of him and Changshun, the original wooden boat model has been dismantled into slag, and Changshou’s small boat Fat still held a small copper hammer in his hand;

And Changtai and Changning have finished memorizing "Taigong's Family Education" and are now reading "The Analects of Confucius".

"Not bad, all good!"

Xiao Nan resisted looking at the pile of wood residue in front of Changshou, and praised against his will, "Okay, let's go on and play."

"Yes!"

Several children responded, then returned to their own territory, and continued to toss.

Xiao Nan sat aside, drinking tea and looking at the children with a smile.

Yuzan came in quietly, leaned into Xiao Nan's ear, and whispered back: "Madam, just now when you returned to Kaihuafang, there was movement in Aunt Wu's yard again."

The smile on Xiao Nan's lips cooled down, and he lowered his voice and said, "Why, Mrs. Wu went out again?"

Yuhan shook her head, "No, but she sent the little maid named Aqin beside her out for a trip. She said that Aunt Wu wanted to eat Dongshi's Mumi Jinmao noodles (that is, jujube cake shaped like a lion), I want freshly baked ones, and I’m afraid that the servants in the outer courtyard will not do their best and the ones they buy won’t suit my aunt’s taste, so I have to go out in person.”

Xiao Nan raised his eyebrows and signaled Yuzan to continue.

Yuzan said: "The maid remembered your order and let her go, and then let someone follow her secretly."

Xiao Nan interrupted her and asked directly: "Where did she go?"

Yuzan: "It is indeed a restaurant in Dongshi. It is very famous in Dongshi because of its good Mumi Jinmao noodles and rose steamed cakes."

Xiao Nan frowned, "Who is the owner of that restaurant?"

Yuhan shook her head a little ashamedly, "Time is too tight, and the servant girl hasn't found it yet."

Xiao Nan didn't blame him, and directly ordered: "Then let someone check carefully, and check Aqin's situation by the way."

……

The next morning, Xiao Nan sat in the main room in a daze with some anxiety, occasionally returning to his senses, he also went to glance at the hourglass in the corner.

He silently calculated in his heart: at this time, A Niang should have already entered the palace; at this time, A Niang has already had a showdown with the emperor; at this time, A Niang has already...

At this moment, Yuhan came in to report, "Ma'am, Mrs. Xie is here."

Mrs. Xie, Xiao Nan's half-sister Xiao Hui, hurried in.

Seeing her anxious face, Xiao Nan couldn't help wondering, "Sister, what's going on?"

Xiao Hui didn't care about the small talk, and directly retreated from the people, and said in a loud voice: "Qiao Mu, why are you so leisurely? Don't you know that someone outside is spreading bad things about you?!"
