Second-hand lady

Chapter 44

When Wen Liang was being questioned by Doctor Hu, his little cousin Sun Qiaoqiao was also being questioned.

In the garden, Sun Qiaoqiao dutifully took the guests around the garden as the lady of the mansion. Except for the little fat man who was so hot-headed and focused on his sweetheart, the rest of the young masters and ladies were extremely reserved on their faces, and there were turbulent undercurrents in the dark.

They came to a pavilion to rest for a while, and after the maid served refreshments, everyone sat down one by one.

"Miss Sun, can I ask you something?" As soon as she sat down, Qu Fangfei couldn't wait to speak.

The Eldest Princess and Yao Tongtong knew that it was amazing that she could bear it until now, and they did not stop with a reserved smile on their faces. The corners of Wei Chaohui and Zhou Zhengxu's eyes twitched, knowing what she wanted to ask.In fact, they would have misunderstood that Sun Qiaoqiao was the one who played the flute on the boat on the day of the Lantern Festival, and they had arranged with Wen Liang to mislead the eldest prince on purpose.Only the little fat man didn't realize it lately, and he didn't feel any tension at all.

Holding her sleeves, Sun Qiaoqiao poured tea for the people present, with a sweet and lovely smile on her face, and said softly: "Although I have not been in the capital for long, I have heard of Miss Qu's name for a long time, and I admire Miss Qu's talent very much." Miss Qu just speak up if you have anything to say, you don't have to be so polite."

Qu Fangfei was satisfied with Sun Qiaoqiao's understanding, and felt that this girl was not arrogant, which made her very happy, and felt that they should have a good time talking about the next topic.

"That's right, I want to compete with Miss Sun again." Qu Fangfei solemnly requested.

Sun Qiaoqiao blinked her eyes, and slowly shifted her gaze from Qu Fangfei's frenzied face to Wei Chaoxuan and Zhou Zhengxu's body, then calmly wiped her sleeves, with the same smile on her face, she said, "Isn't Miss Qu What did you misunderstand? How can I compete with Miss Qu? To be honest, Qiaoqiao has mediocre talent, and I know that I can't compare with Miss Qu."

Qu Fangfei thought she was underestimating herself, and she felt a little displeased, and said, "Miss Sun is not willing?"

The eldest princess and Yao Tongtong also looked at Sun Qiaoqiao in surprise. They were on the boat on the day of the Lantern Festival. Although they were not familiar with the musical instrument Xiao, they could tell that the person who played the Xiao was very skilled. As a girl of the right age, they didn't believe that she was the one who played that day. Given her age, she couldn't be fooled.

And Wei Chaoxu and Zhou Zhengxu were also very nervous, praying that Sun Qiaoqiao would not be so ignorantly exposed.

Mo Qian also heard the general idea, and quickly echoed: "No, no, the pretty girl is naturally the most powerful and the most beautiful..." Then there was another compliment, which made Sun Qiaoqiao smile, and his heart was overjoyed , I think this chubby is really interesting, and Zhou Zhengxu, the eldest princess and others turned green on their faces.

This little fat man...you don't want to flatter others so obviously, right?

Everyone decided to ignore the little fat man who had evolved into a fool because of love, and they both looked at Sun Qiaoqiao.

Sun Qiaoqiao was still calm and composed, and even said innocently: "Miss Qu, it's not a matter of whether Qiaoqiao is willing or not, but Qiaoqiao has self-knowledge, which is really difficult to be elegant. I wonder if Miss Qu has misunderstood something. ?”

Qu Fangfei didn't give up and said: "On the day of the Yuan Festival, you were the only girl on Mr. Wei's boat, didn't you play the xiao at that time?"

Wei Chaoxuan and Zhou Zhengxu looked calm, but the hands in their cuffs were already sweating slightly.

Seeing that Sun Qiaoqiao was stunned, she asked, "Why do you think so? My cousin was still on the boat that day. If it wasn't for my cousin, I wouldn't have had the opportunity to witness your wonderful duel. I am very happy." I'm touched." He said, showing a very touched expression.

Qu Fangfei was a little confused: "Who is your cousin?"

The eldest princess probably thought of who the cousin Sun Qiaoqiao was talking about, her complexion changed slightly, and her intuition did not believe it.

"Master Wen Liang is my cousin." Sun Qiaoqiao smiled very cutely.

As soon as these words came out, the faces of the eldest princess, Qu Fangfei and Yao Tongtong all changed slightly, and they glared at her fiercely. Sun Qiaoqiao was a little disturbed by the staring, and her expression became cramped.

So the little fat man exploded.

"What are you all doing? The pretty girl is right. There was Mrs. Wen besides the pretty girl that day."

The eldest princess asked shyly, "Why did you invite Mrs. Wen to board the boat?" Wei Chaozhen clashed with the noble ladies of Shukezhai, so they couldn't invite female students from the same class, and were laughed at by the people in the academy. for a while.

"Why not? Mrs. Wen is our teacher's wife." The future teacher's wife.Xiaopang added in his heart.

This explanation makes sense.

However, the information revealed by the little fat man made them stare wide-eyed. Wen Liang is now the prince's master, but he never revealed his intention to accept other people as students. How could he suddenly accept several of them as students.

Under the scrutiny of the three girls, Wei Chaoxuan and Zhou Zhengxu tried their best to smile calmly and try not to show their flaws.

Qu Fangfei didn't believe it, and said, "Miss Sun, can you let me see your hands?"

Sun Qiaoqiao quickly understood what she was going to do, and stretched out her hand very calmly.Qu Fangfei's hands were a little cold, and she didn't know whether it was because of the cold weather or because she was in a bad mood. When those cold and soft hands held her, Sun Qiaoqiao shivered, and subconsciously curled her fingers. But soon relaxed.

Qu Fangfei touched her fingers, the pads were soft and clean, and the pads were calloused, but very thin, which showed that she did not often touch musical instruments.Maybe words can deceive people, but the marks on her hands can never deceive people. She may also understand Xiao, but she will definitely not have such skills.

"Could it be that Mrs. Wen was the one who played Xiao that day?" Qu Fangfei asked in disbelief.

Everyone present knew Mrs. Wen's background, and they all had a reputation of gentleness. The wedding ceremony was full of disturbances, so it was impossible to know.However, how could a woman who was born as a servant girl have such skills?
The insider looked up at the sky, so let her misunderstand.

Sun Qiaoqiao blinked her eyes, continued to pour tea for them, and then blinked her eyes at the two teenagers who were looking at her in amazement.

Wei Chaohui and Zhou Zhengxu suddenly realized that Mr. Wen's cousin was indeed not ordinary. Seeing this deceitful skill, she did not change her face, and turned their thoughts to another direction with a few words.

But is this good?

This idea only turned in their heads for a while, and then they ignored it. Anyway, they thought that smart man should be able to handle it.

After visiting the garden, Qu Fangfei seemed a little lost, the eldest princess was also preoccupied, and the teenagers were completely relieved.

Now that she got the answer, the eldest princess was too embarrassed to stay in the mansion for too long to disturb the patient's rest, so she said goodbye and left. Doctor Hu, Wen Liang and others all came out to send her back to the palace. The eldest princess' eyes were on Miss Rucui. Sliding past, with a look of sadness in his eyes, he helped the maid's hand to get on the carriage.

Qu Fangfei also followed, and Yao Tongtong stopped her when she wanted to speak a few times.

When the eldest princess and others left, Imperial Physician Hu looked at the three young men again, and asked with a half-smile: "I wonder if the three young masters want the old man to keep lunch?"

When Mo Qian heard this, his eyebrows and eyes were raised, but before the word "good" was uttered, he was slapped silently by Wei Chaoxie's sharp hands.

"Doctor Hu, I'm sorry to bother you today, I hope Mrs. Hu will recover as soon as possible." Zhou Zhengxu said sincerely, "It's time for us to say goodbye, and come to bother me when we have time."

Saying that, Wei Chaozhen tugged at the struggling little fat man, smiled flatteringly at Wen Liang, and hurried away.

Although he didn't know what these brats did, but looking at their appearance was not a good thing, Wen Liang felt that he had to train him well when he went back, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble to himself in the future.

Seeing that the guests had left, Wen Liang also turned around and said to Imperial Physician Hu: "Grandpa Hu, we are also leaving. You and Grandma Hu should take care of your health."

Imperial Physician Hu snorted, looked at Miss Rucui again with stern eyes, and said: "There are three unfilial acts, and the greatest thing is to have no descendants...the road ahead will be difficult."

Wen Liang smiled gently, "I know."

Seeing that he was still persistent, Imperial Physician Hu sighed and said nothing more.

After saying goodbye to Imperial Physician Hu, they boarded the carriage, Miss Rucui was silent for a while, and asked, "Did Grandpa Hu know about my injury?"

Wen Liang looked at her sideways, her eyes were clear, and when she smiled, her eyes would bend into beautiful arcs, and every part of her face seemed to be full of joy, making people unable to resist following her. Laugh together.At this time, when I don't smile, I feel very serious and a little sad.

Wen Liang stretched out his hand to hold her in his arms, resting his chin on her neck, and it took a long time before he responded softly.

She put her arms around his waist, and was speechless for a while.

Sensing her lost mood, Wen Liang sighed, and didn't want to make her unhappy, because it was he who forcibly pulled her into his own world at the beginning, and she didn't do it voluntarily.If he wants to bear the eyes of the world and the censure of the elders, he should also do it.If it wasn't for saving him, she wouldn't have been hurt.

"It's okay. When I was going to marry you, I knew the consequences. If you like children, we will adopt one from the clan, and this world is very big, and there are many orphans. Let's adopt a few and we can have children and grandchildren." The house is full." He said with a smile, casual and relaxed in his voice.

Ru Cui also smiled, and asked, "Is it alright if you don't have your own flesh and blood? Will Master Wen feel sad?"

He pondered for a while and said, "Since we have already decided on this path, it doesn't matter anyway."

She tightened her grip on him, giving him a silent message.

Rucui is not stupid, and knows that if this matter cannot be concealed, the consequences will be disastrous.The ridicule of the world may be tolerable, but it is estimated that the Duke of Zhen's government will not be relentless and will make it difficult for them. After all, Mr. Wen is a legitimate son, and he is also the heir in Duke Zhen's mind. How can there be no descendants?At that time, Mr. Wen might be forced to divorce his wife.However, Ru Cui vaguely understands that this man has an extreme personality under his witty and intelligent appearance, and he will go on stubbornly knowing that the consequences will be bad.Just like what happened back then, no matter if Lord Zhen is not, he is still his father, but he can be so cruel that he will never forgive him in his life.

"Shang Xi, go to Su Wang's Mansion." Wen Liang suddenly called out.

After hearing this, Shang Xi who was driving turned around and drove to the palace.

Hearing Wen Liang's words, Miss Rucui raised her head, looked at him with sparkling eyes, and said happily: "Why does Master Wen want to go to Su Wang's Mansion today?"

Wen Liang said calmly: "Suddenly I miss my adoptive son very much, and I also miss the food in the palace even more. Let's go eat."

Rucui smiled, and became that optimistic and lovely girl again.

When I came to Su Wang's mansion, it happened to be lunch time.

The old housekeeper of the palace was surprised when he saw them, but because Wen Liang has become a close friend, he has done things more prudently and will not come again to tarnish his prince's reputation, so the old housekeeper still welcomes him.

King Su hasn't come back yet, Princess Su is playing with her youngest son in the flower hall, the boy is standing by the wall and squatting on horseback, the little princess of King Su's mansion is squatting beside him and watching the boy counting the numbers, he has already counted to three thousand and fifty up.

Wen Liang is a frequent visitor to Su Wang's mansion, and the servants don't need to inform them to come in directly.Seeing them coming, Concubine Su was a little surprised, and was interrupted by the enthusiastic couple before she could say anything.

"Long time no see, Xi Bai, do you miss foster father?" Wen Liang picked up the little bun who could already crawl and held it high, the little guy giggled, waving his limbs joyfully, showing his tender gums.

Ru Cui also threw her arms around Concubine Su's hand, looked at her helplessly and said, "Miss, I miss you so much~"

Su Wangfei also hugged her back, and missed this girl very much.

The former master and servant hugged for a while, Rucui ran to the wall again, poked the boy who was squatting with his fingers, and then hugged the cute little bun and kissed, not surprisingly, he got a murderous look from the boy .

After arguing for a while, King Su finally came back.

Seeing Wen Liang who was teasing his youngest son and calling him "Father", King Su didn't raise his eyebrows, and asked calmly, "Why are you here?"

Wen Liang calmed down, hugged the crawling little bun into his arms, and said to King Su: "My lord, you said that the matter of making the little prince recognize me as a righteous father is still counted?"

"Naturally!"

Wen Liang clapped his palms for joy, and said again: "Then my girl is also Xiao Shizi's adoptive mother?"

King Su looked at him coldly, his eyes were deep and cold, if an ordinary person would have been scared out of his wits, but Wen Liang didn't dodge or evade, with a smile on his face.Miss Rucui looked at them nervously from the side, for fear that the prince would be angry.

Su Wangfei also looked at them inquiringly, thoughtfully.

"If you wish, then it is." King Su said.

Wen Liang was happy again, and said excitedly: "Then I will let someone reveal this matter tomorrow." Then he put the little bun into Miss Rucui's arms, and smiled softly at him: "Girl, this is your adopted son." , to hug well."

Miss Rucui stared at him blankly, her hands seemed to be worth a thousand dollars, she met his gentle eyes, and suddenly understood his painstaking efforts, a cheerful smile soon appeared on her face, and she responded happily.
