Rebirth of the Merchant Girl

Chapter 272 Someone else
"What happened to that girl?" After taking care of the Kang family, he couldn't help but think of the girl who was sent back to the Red Mansion, and couldn't help asking.

Pang Yudi shrugged: "The fox pretends to be the tiger, and now he is very proud."

"The more proud you are, the better, it saves us a lot of trouble." Kang Yunzhang squinted his eyes, and it was not in vain that he spent a lot of money to get the old bustard in the red building to cooperate.

Pang Yudi didn't understand: "You let the girl be a bustard for a while, and deal with the matter of the Red Mansion..."

He pointed to the top and lowered his voice again: "If others find out, they will have to pour dirty water on the boss."

"What are you afraid of? Now that the emperor is watching, no one dares to say anything wrong with your lord." Even the young emperor is facing Ruan Jingxin, who dares to say a word?
Pang Yudi was at a loss for words, not interested in the matter of the Red Mansion.

If Kang Yunzhang hadn't wanted to deal with the family affairs first, he would never have been in charge.It's all right now, throwing the matter on Kang Yunzhang, Pang Yudi went to cling to Xue Ling again, for fear that she would be abducted by others.

But Kang Yunzhang really has a way. When it comes to women, it's better to have a woman take the lead.

Inside the red building, Xie Churou dragged his heavy body back to the dilapidated courtyard with a tired face.

She rubbed her waist and sat down slowly. Now that her body was getting heavier, she couldn't do anything, let alone do heavy kung fu.

Ever since that girl temporarily replaced the old bustard in charge of the Red Mansion, she liked to target herself.

Thinking of this, Xie Churou felt a gloomy look on her pretty face.

What a stupid girl, I don't know who was bewitched, but she came back to embarrass herself!

Don't even think about it, if it wasn't her back then, could that girl escape?
Now it seems that I have climbed a high branch, so I have to toss myself!

The more Xie Churou thought about it, the angrier she became, and she almost tore the veil in her hand.

"Sister Rou..."

A timid voice came from outside the door, Xie Churou hurriedly cleaned up the expression on her face, and said softly: "It's Xiaodong, come in quickly."

Xiaodong ducked his head in and put the two cold steamed buns in his arms on the table: "Sister must not have eaten them yet, I stole them from the kitchen."

"Have you eaten? I'll just eat one. Don't be hungry. After all, the work you do on weekdays is no less than mine." Not long after, she swallowed gold and committed suicide, leaving only such a little girl. The cook in the red building took pity on her, so she stayed as a helper.

Thin and small, but very dull and simple, Xie Churou took a little effort, and soon coaxed her to call her sister, and sneak out some food from time to time.

If not, Xie Churou would have fainted from hunger.

It's okay if she doesn't eat, but the child in her stomach can't help but eat.

"It's okay, I've already eaten." After Xiaodong finished speaking, her stomach growled. She blushed and ran away in a hurry, afraid that Xie Churou would stop her.

Xie Churou was just talking about it, she was too hungry for a long time, two cold steamed buns were not enough to eat at all, but it was better than not eating at all.

That dead girl not only enslaves herself to do hard work, but also only compares a steamed bun and a nest every day. She is so hungry that her eyes always turn black.

Fortunately, Xiaodong saved his rations and sent them here from time to time, otherwise Xie Churou would not be able to keep up.

In just over a month, she was due to give birth.

Xie Churou wolfed down the cold and hard steamed bun, and didn't dislike it for choking someone, so she poured a pot of cold water.

Xie Ruitong was a disappointment, but he was also sent to the red building.

Without this stupid sister, the child doesn't know what to do with it.

By the time Xie Churou found out the news, it was already too late, the child was too old, losing it would completely damage her body, so she had to stay.

She wasn't stupid either, secretly hooking up with a man who often came in the red building.

This man said that he wanted to do business with him, and he happened to have a petty official's wife, who had been married for six years and had nothing to do. She had three or four concubines in the house, and no children, so she probably couldn't stay at home.

So Xie Churou paid a large sum of money to transfer the child to her.

How can Xie Churou be unhappy, but she doesn't want money, what she wants is to steal the dragon and turn it into a phoenix, and fish herself out of the red building.

The younger brother of the petty official's wife was a petty official in the Ministry of Punishment, so it would not be difficult to find a similar corpse.

She was already tired of staying in the red building, how much effort it took to catch up with such a man, where can she get herself out of it.

Xie Churou's life was difficult. On the one hand, Xie Ruitong, who had become an oiran, stumbled, and on the other hand, there was a dead girl who used her excuses to find trouble.

She touched her cheeks, which were no longer as smooth and delicate as before.

If this continues, I will lose my beautiful capital, even if I leave the Red Mansion, I am afraid that life will not be easy.

Beautiful women always take advantage, after all, men like good colors.

Xie Churou stroked her protruding belly, thinking that she would be able to leave this place as soon as this good child was born, she couldn't help but feel elated, and the fatigue of the whole day disappeared.

It's just that before she was happy for too long, her stomach suddenly throbbed.

It was a little pain at first, but it gradually became sharper. The pain made Xie Churou's face pale, and she almost fell to the ground.

She protected her stomach in time, and the child was not hurt at all.

What a joke, my future happiness is tied to this child, how can there be any damage?

In a remote courtyard, no one will pass by at all.

Xie Churou was paralyzed on the ground in pain, and she didn't even have the strength to call for help. If this continues, not to mention the child, even she herself will not be able to bear it!

She struggled to get up, and heard a burst of chaotic footsteps, many people came holding torches.

The one who took the lead was the dead girl who replaced the old bustard. She looked at her condescendingly, causing Xie Churou to feel chilled, and subconsciously hugged her stomach tightly.

But the sharp pain hit again, Xie Churou's face was pale, she felt her lower abdomen slump, and said weakly: "Help me, the baby is about to be born."

"Naturally, the Red Mansion is about to add a newcomer, and everything must be well protected." The girl smiled lightly, and a steady woman came behind her, and quickly helped Xie Churou onto the bed.

Xie Churou looked at this girl with complicated eyes, always thinking that she would not be so easy to talk, would she really help her to give birth to the child safely?

"You don't have to worry, this is a girl." The girl smiled, if it's a son, there's nothing wrong with staying here, at most, he'll be sent to the small hall next door.If it's a girl, staying in the red building means that in the future, like Xie Churou, she can only be a joker.

Xie Churou narrowed her eyes, thinking of the sudden birth of the child, she was afraid that it would be too late to contact that man.

This deal is gone, won't he be able to escape this place for the rest of his life?
She was anxious for someone to deliver the message, so she caught a glimpse of Xiaodong in the corner, and quickly beckoned him over: "Let Xiaodong stay with me here, don't let anyone else come in!"

Seeing that Xie Churou still dared to be suspicious, the girl frowned displeased.

It's just that the strong smell of blood hit her face, she was covering her nose and retreating.

Anyway, Xie Churou is trapped in this yard, and she is weak, so she can't escape anywhere, so there's no need to stay here.

Wen Po is a mute, and she often delivers babies to women in the red building. Xie Churou quickly let Xie Churou bite the cork, help massage her stomach, and soon gave birth to the baby.

Xie Churou spat out the cork, and while Granny Wen was carrying the child outside the hospital to wash it, she grabbed Xiaodong's hand and begged, "My dear sister, go for me and tell my distant cousin that the child was born early. I There is only such a relative, at least let his wife come to see me."

Xiaodong is in the kitchen and can go out to help buy ingredients from time to time, so he is a suitable candidate.

She nodded timidly, quickly withdrew her hand, and ran out in a blink of an eye.

Only then did Xie Churou breathe a sigh of relief, thinking that it was not too late to tell that man, as long as she sent the child out these few days, she would have something to look forward to.

After thinking about it, she fell into a deep sleep.

It's just that she slept until the next day when she woke up, the bed beside her was empty, and there was no child at all, Xie Churou couldn't help being shocked.

Xie Churou struggled to sit up, but the severe pain and weakness made her fall back again.

Wen Po is not here, and neither is Xiaodong. Where did the child go?
Could it be that that dead girl took the child away?
Or is it that the man didn't keep his promise and took the child away, but he didn't tell himself that he was going to deny it?
Many thoughts flashed through Xie Churou's mind, but it was just yesterday that the war was chaotic and the child was born early, which caught her by surprise, and then it became a mess, as if everything did not go according to her idea.

Now that she was quiet, she realized that something was wrong.

Because of the pain, my mind was in a mess yesterday. Looking back now, how could the child be born suddenly?

There was still more than a month left, Xie Churou originally had enough time to prepare, but the child was born without warning.

The doctor occasionally came to check the pulse, and never said that there was anything wrong with the child.

Xie Churou's eyes turned from her belly to the table. There were still some small pieces on it, which were left over from the steamed buns she ate yesterday.

Mantou, the mantou sent by Xiaodong, is there something wrong with the mantou?
She was full of doubts and doubts, Xiaodong had no reason to harm herself, after all, she usually looked timid and cowardly, and there was no reason to harm herself.

Xie Churou thought about the face of that dead girl again, maybe she did it in secret?

She shook her head again, that girl has a single mind, how could she think of such a good way to harm herself?

Xie Churou was thinking wildly, when Xiaodong blushed and came in with a bucket of water.

The surface of the water was steaming hot, apparently she had specially boiled hot water in the kitchen and brought it over.

She had just given birth, so she couldn't touch cold water, how could the people in the red building be so kind, it was clear that Xiaodong begged the cook to borrow the stove to boil water for her.

The doubts in Xie Churou's heart disappeared immediately, Xiaodong couldn't have betrayed him, there must be someone else doing the tricks.

"Sister Rou, come and wash up." Xiaodong put down the bucket, wiped his face with his sleeve, his eyes sparkled.

"Xiaodong, have you seen my child?" Xie Churou grabbed her hand and asked eagerly.

Xiaodong seemed to be more surprised than she: "Sister Rou, what did you say, didn't you ask me to inform your relatives yesterday? His wife called a maid over and took the child away, saying that she wanted you to have a good rest, child Put her there to help raise it. Originally it was against the rules, but the woman was generous and gave the old bust a large sum of money."

She looked around, and whispered again: "I accidentally saw it, it's a small box of gold bars, it's quite a big deal."
