Yutai Bi

Chapter 90 Changes
"The ninth son of the Du family? The guard of King Teng?" Old Master Li muttered to himself, and then asked Cen Sanniang, "So, it is only today that you are sure that the guard is the ninth son of the Du family?"

"That's right, Eleven Niang of the Du family is still asking me, asking me when I met Mr. Du Jiu. I can only tell her that Mr. Du Jiu once saved Baicao, and I dare not mention anything else."

Old Master Li hummed and said: "It's only a few days before you go to the wedding ceremony, these days you will stay in the mansion and don't go out. This matter should not be publicized, the old man has his own opinion. Go back and rest."

Just let them go.

Cen Sanniang stood up, blessed, and left the study.

Xu Shi and Baicao also went out.

Before leaving, Cen Sanniang glanced over to see Mrs. Li pacing squarely in the hall with her hands behind her back, the wrinkles in her brows and eyes widened with a smile, as if she was picking up some treasure.She spat secretly, thinking contemptuously not to hit the iron plate.

After leaving the study, Cen Sanniang reached out to rub her knees, her legs were a little numb.

Seeing this, Mrs. Xu stretched out her hand to help her: "Third lady, your legs feel uncomfortable after kneeling for a long time, don't you? This servant will help you!"

Cen Sanniang laughed angrily.

Cen Sanniang did not refuse Xu Shi's support, and walked slowly with her hand on her, moving her legs.

Mrs. Xu turned her head to look at Baicao, but she bit her lip and did not move, so Mrs. Xu scolded loudly: "Baicao, what are you doing in a daze, why don't you come over and help San Niangzi."

Only then did Baicao lower her head and go forward to support Cen Sanniang.

After walking for a while, Cen Sanniang felt her legs feel better.With a turn of footsteps, he walked to the flower hall where Little Webster handles family affairs: "Go and ask for a cup of tea from my aunt."

Mrs. Xu was stunned for a moment, and tried to persuade her: "Third Lady, let's go back to Zizaiju first. I'm tired after going out of the house for a whole day today, so I can take a rest and go to see Da Furen tomorrow."

Cen Sanniang thought for a while and said, "That's fine. That's fine, mom is resting too, so you don't need to help me."

Stepping onto the back profile of Ziziju, she walked nonchalantly.

For a moment, Mrs. Xu was uncertain about Cen Sanniang's thoughts, and followed her one step away and said softly, "Third Lady, please don't annoy this servant. The servant is also doing it for your own good. That day, the servant could hear you clearly in the alley of Yongpingfang. Tell young master Kong Qing, let him take you away. The slaves couldn't bear to tell the old man. Third lady, you are still young, you don't know how powerful it is. The slaves fulfilled Madam's wish that day, but watched her die in a foreign land , if you are still in Chang'an, where can't you find a good doctor..."

Said sadly wiped away tears.

Cen Sanniang said calmly: "Mom has always been kind to Sanniang. I know. My grandfather said just now, don't mention it when you leave the study. Misfortune comes out of your mouth. Mom should be more careful."

There was light in Xu's eyes, and he said excitedly: "Your servant understands. The third lady also treats your servant wholeheartedly."

When Baicao heard this, she peeked at Mrs. Xu, then lowered her head silently.

Back at Ziziju, Cen Sanniang took a comfortable bath, lay down on the couch and read a book.Baicao moved a low stool to sit on, took a dry cloth and carefully wrung out her hair.

The setting sun shone in through the window lattice, and the only sound in the room was the turning of pages.

After a while, there was a soft sob.

Cen Sanniang's hand holding the book froze for a moment, and continued to read.

Baicao finally couldn't hold it back, put down the dry cloth, turned to the couch, knelt down and cried, "Third lady, this servant made a mistake. I beg you, for the sake of serving you for so many years, please give mother a way out."

Cen Sanniang leaned half sideways, propped her chin with one hand, and looked at Baicao carefully.

The 16-year-old Baicao has shed her baby fat, her skin is like snow, her big almond eyes, her pointed pigeons, she is full of spirituality.The chest is bound by the high-waisted skirt, like an upside-down bulging lotus pod, exuding a seductive youthful atmosphere.

Cen Sanniang remembered Baicao's experience.Before the age of five, he may have suffered some crimes and was sold into Cen's family.The fourth room of Cen's family did not abuse her.She spent her childhood with Cen Sanniang before she was ten years old. At the age of 11, he moved into the third room of Cen's family with himself, and lived alone in a small courtyard. He was neglected, but he didn't suffer much.After entering Tengwang Bieyuan, no one has ever tossed about her.Think about it, it seems that Baicao has never been beaten.Mrs. Xu was beaten by Mrs. Cen, but Baicao didn't.The crime she has suffered is that she was locked up in the firewood house by the Qiu family for two days, and was almost forced to marry the soon-to-be buried Mr. Qiu as a concubine.

She really didn't suffer too much.

Long black hair fell from Cen Sanniang's shoulders.She didn't answer Baicao's words, but said lazily, "I'm hungry, let's serve dinner."

Baicao raised her head and looked at Cen Sanniang stubbornly.

Cen Sanniang looked at her with a smile and said, "When did I say I wouldn't give wet nurse a living?"

Baicao didn't answer, but tightly clutched the corner of the skirt.

"I remember I told you in the hallway that there are some things you should say and some things you shouldn't say. Tell me, what did you think at that time? Do you want my grandfather to punish me? Or did you strangle me to death with a white silk? Miss Li's family?" Cen Sanniang was really curious.

Big drops of tears fell from Baicao's eyes. She has always been straightforward and courageous: "The servant just didn't want you to have a hard time at that time. The look in the eyes of the young master Kongqing is so scary..."

As she said, she buried her head in aggrieved, and burst into tears.

Cen Sanniang was speechless, and said slowly: "Young Master Du didn't look good on you in the street today, you set your fire on me, so you want to make things difficult for me, isn't that right?"

Baicao cried hoarsely: "He admitted it himself, it's not a big deal if he said it."

"Oh, you're so smart. Tiandu knows how to measure his limits and has grown up." Cen Sanniang praised, and said slowly, twirling her fingers around a strand of black hair, "Have you thought about the consequences? Grandpa saw that his anger subsided, If you add another spoonful of oil, won't the old man hang me with a piece of white silk in a fit of anger?"

"The old man scolded the third lady for hiding it from him at most." Baicao cried until her body twitched: "This servant knows that the third lady will never want a slave again."

"Actually, you've always known how to measure things and the consequences." Cen Sanniang smiled, "I used to dare to throw porridge all over Sitang's uncle, but I also knew that I accidentally knocked over the food box. You think you understand my temperament. You know that I am soft-hearted. At most But I don’t want you to wait on me. Baicao, you asked me to let the nanny go. Do you know that when you were imprisoned in the Qiu Mansion, the nanny didn’t want me to take risks to save you, saying that it was your life. In retrospect, if I don’t save you You, too, have a lot less trouble."

"No, no, no, no. I was brought up by my mother. She said she didn't have a daughter and treated me like her own daughter. I want to serve her for the elderly! My mother said that if you don't come, she will go all out. Find the old man to save me!" Baicao screamed and covered her ears.

Cen Sanniang was stunned, it turned out that it was Xu and Baicao who were more in love with Jin Jian, and there was nothing wrong with her.Forget it, let's make them both happy, anyway, she won't be able to sell Baicao and kill Xu's family anyway. Out of sight, out of mind.

At this time, the door curtain was raised, and Mrs. Xu walked in.Seeing Baicao kneeling on the ground and crying sadly, she frowned and stepped forward and said, "How can you be so sad?"

"Mom!" Baicao turned around like a bird and hugged Xu's leg and cried loudly.

"Okay, okay, don't cry. Mom knows, you are thinking of the third lady." Xu gently patted Baicao's back to coax her.Turning her head to Cen Sanniang, she said, "Third lady, it's not my mother who told you about you. Young Master Kong Qing suddenly became the ninth son of the Du family. How could you keep such a big thing from the old man? It's better for Baicao to tell it than to be found out by the old man later. Baicao waits on you, she is also for your own good..."

Your head is kicked by a donkey, right?Or do you really think of yourself as a bun and only get angry?Cen Sanniang stood up from the couch with bare feet, and slapped Xu's face with her hands.Carefully watched Xu's face turn from white to red, and from red to blue, admiring her shocked expression and trembling lips.

The slap woke up Baicao, she got up from the ground, supported Mrs Xu, fear and surprise appeared in her almond eyes: "Third lady, you, you know how to hit someone?!"

"Have you learned a lot? Silly girl." Cen Sanniang waved her hands, "The former relationship will be wiped out. If I want to leave the mansion, I will still give you the yard in Yongpingfang, and the identity of Baicao. I want to stay, from now on Don't dawdle in front of my eyes. From now on, Mother Xu, you are no longer the mother in charge of Ziziju, and Baicao, you will no longer be treated as a first-class girl, and you are not allowed to enter the inner hall of Ziziju."

Xu and Baicao were stunned.

Cen Sanniang turned around and took off her shoes, then raised the curtain with big strides and shouted, "What time is it and dinner is not served!"

The maids and women who were listening to the excitement in the outer corridor scattered away, and the food was put on the table in less than a moment.

Cen Sanniang sat down to eat carelessly, when she heard Xu and Baicao crying from the back room, she raised her eyebrows: "Drag those two people back to their room and cry!"

The waitresses looked at each other in blank dismay.Everyone knew that there were Cen Sanniang's most trusted Xu family and Baicao, so no one dared to do anything.

Cen Sanniang tore the mustard cakes without raising her head: "What's the use of the immobile servants? Tomorrow I'll report to my aunt and sell them all."

A room full of people looked at me and I looked at you, so a bold person entered the back room, persuaded and helped, and dragged Mrs. Xu and Baicao out of the back room.

Mrs. Xu struggled with her hair in a disheveled bun, staring at her eyes, watching Cen Sanniang suddenly burst out with infinite strength, grabbing and shaking off the girl who was holding her captive, and shouted: "I have served Madam all my life, I brought up Ms. Sun since I was a child. The old man praised me for my loyalty and wanted to keep me in the mansion. Without the old man's permission, who would dare to drive me out?!"
