Good morning Mr. Zhongtang

Chapter 59

Mrs. Li wished that Tong Wanrou could fill all the vacancies in the past few months. The table was full of dishes that Tong Wanrou loved to eat. Fu Heng hadn't come back yet. Mrs. Li sent someone to the study to ask, and Li Rongbao said let Fu Heng had dinner with him in the study. Li Shi and Tong Wanrou knew that Fu Heng and the others were discussing serious matters in the study, so they didn't bother them.

"When I saw the palace last year, I saw Minglan. Now that the imperial concubine is born in the palace, she has the highest status. I also saw the elder brother Yonglian. She is very cute and everything is fine. ,that is……"

Tong Wanrou was drinking soup, seeing some hesitation on Li's face, she couldn't help but wondered:
"What is it?"

Seeing her staring eyes, Mrs. Li didn't intend to hide it anymore, so she said directly: "It's just that the two sisters of your Tong family are not living very well. They didn't have a high status in the first place, but they actually worked with Concubine Qi." Those things that harm others and benefit oneself are immediately reduced to officials."

Tong Wanrou was not surprised, she put down the bowl and said: "When they entered the palace, I warned them not to get too close to Concubine Qi, but they didn't listen, so they couldn't be in the palace at all. Maybe it’s a good thing to have a personality that survives, and to be lowered earlier.”

Li Shi was relieved to hear that her words were not biased, and said:
"That's right, as long as they live in peace and order as official girls, they won't end up like Concubine Qi."

Tong Wanrou wondered, "Isn't Concubine Qi also downgraded?"

Mrs. Li shook her head: "To the outside world, it is said that it is downgraded and sent to the cold palace, but in fact..." Mrs. Li looked around, and after confirming that no one was there, she waved to Tong Wanrou and said in a low voice, "Actually, she was secretly executed in the palace." After all, how can the emperor and the queen mother tolerate the murder of elder brother?"

Tong Wanrou was shocked: "Concubine Qi murdered elder brother?"

In the letter before, Mrs. Li only said that Concubine Qi was demoted and did not explain the reason for the demotion. Now it sounds really shocking. Even if she doesn't like Concubine Xian, she shouldn't extend her poisonous hands to innocent children.

Mrs. Li nodded solemnly: "When she was visiting eldest brother, she secretly pricked the child with a thin needle. After the prick, the child cried. After crying, she changed hands and blamed Concubine Xian in turn. Concubine Xian changed the clothes and took a bath for the child herself, but she really couldn't find any blood stains on the clothes. Only then did she understand the reason why the child cried loudly after being hugged by Concubine Qi, so she took precautions and found an opportunity to call Concubine Qi It was discovered on the spot, allowing the emperor to see with his own eyes the viciousness of that woman."

"..."

Tong Wanrou heard her heart pounding, she frowned and said, "Brother is still so young, how can she bear to do it?"

Mrs. Li also sighed: "Hey, women in the palace are always easily overwhelmed by jealousy. It is also because of my identity that your sister has been made a concubine until today, but now it's all right , as long as my status goes up, your sister's life in the palace will be much easier."

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were eating while talking, and it took a long time without knowing it. When Fu Heng came back, the two of them hadn't finished eating.

"Wow, what delicacies are you eating? It's been almost an hour, haven't you finished eating yet?"

When Fu Heng saw Li Shi, he sat down beside her exaggeratedly, and got close to her. Li Shi rested his head on his shoulder, and although he pushed him impatiently with his hands, his face was still very useful. He glanced at it and said:

"You don't want to talk with me, why don't you allow Wanrou to talk with me?"

Fu Heng chuckled: "Xu, why not. Not only Wanrou is talking with you, but also your grandson."

The three looked at each other and smiled.

Fu Heng could only stay at home for one night, so Mrs. Li didn't hold him to talk for too long, and let the couple go back to their room to rest early.

Tong Wanrou lay on the bed, propped her head, her stomach was on one side, and asked Fu Heng with a big belly:

"Sanggong, can you really not stay tomorrow?"

Fu Heng put the face towel away, took a deep breath, and then climbed onto the bed. Ever since Tong Wanrou's belly got bigger, he automatically slept in the inner bed, because Tong Wanrou woke up more often at night, and it was difficult to crawl out of it. too convenient.

"I really can't. I have to leave in the middle of the night. I will hurry back to Shanxi. It will take a day and a half. Go to sleep. I will come back to pick you up in ten days."

Tong Wanrou nodded obediently, and remembered one more thing that she didn't say: "By the way, mother said, if you really can't leave there, let me give birth at home, what do you think?"

Fu Heng closed his eyes and was silent for a long time. When Tong Wanrou almost thought he was asleep, he finally said:
"After ten days, I'll come back to pick you up. You should go to Shanxi to give birth."

Tong Wanrou looked at him, puzzled in her eyes, Fu Heng seemed to feel her gaze, turned around, hugged her in his arms, and said:

"My mother just took the position of mistress. The people in the house may not be convinced by her. No one knows what some people are secretly thinking. In troubled times, I don't want to gamble with your life and your child's life."

"..."

Tong Wanrou was held in his arms and understood what he meant. The most difficult thing to guess in this world is the human heart. You thought she wouldn't do it, but she did it anyway. Thinking about Concubine Qi's matter, it's really shocking Chilling.

Now that Xianggong said so, Tong Wanrou also felt that it was better to be safe in everything, and slipped into his arms: "Then I can only work hard for Xianggong."

Fu Heng kissed her on the top of her head: "Say something stupid, it's worth all the hard work for you two."

"..."

The two slept together.

Early the next morning, Tong Wanrou woke up to find that Fu Heng had left.

It seemed that she didn't formally bid farewell to Mrs. Li, perhaps thinking that he would come back ten days later, Tong Wanrou got up, staggered all the way to the dining room with her belly out.

Today is Li Shi's big day, Tong Wanrou originally thought that the servants would prepare the breakfast, but she didn't expect to go to the dining room to see that Li Shi was still busy in person.

"Mother, don't be too busy today, the guests will come to you later."

Seeing her get up, Mrs. Li smiled: "Hey, I'm just busy. I'll change my clothes later, and I can go directly to greet the guests. Anyway, there are too many people today, and I can't cover everything. There are always missing things. Then don't force it at all, it is right to take care of you first."

Tong Wanrou said to Mrs. Li: "Master left in the middle of the night, but he will come back after ten days."

Mrs. Li was not too surprised, and nodded: "Well, I know, the concierge came to inform me early in the morning. The older the child, the more worry-free. I used to worry that he would not be motivated and promising, but now it seems that it is not Am I worrying too much?"

Hearing her mother-in-law praise her husband, Tong Wanrou smiled, only to hear Mrs. Li ask again: "By the way, you mentioned to him yesterday, did you give birth at home?"

Mrs. Li really didn't want her daughter-in-law to toss about ten days later. At that time, she was more than eight months old, and then she was running around on the road. Although the carriage was indeed soft, it was still worrying.

Tong Wanrou took a mouthful of the flower rolls, shook her head at Mrs. Li, and said, "My husband said, let me go to Shanxi to give birth. He has already prepared it there, and the family hasn't prepared it yet."

After thinking about it, Mrs. Li sighed softly, and guessed what her son was thinking: "He just has a lot of eyes. But it's okay, as long as the road is safe, going to Shanxi to give birth is indeed better than giving birth at home. Safer."

Tong Wanrou knew that Mrs. Li and Xianggong wanted to go together, so she kept quiet and ate breakfast obediently.

After Mrs. Li ate something, she was invited to the dressing room by a few nuns. Tong Wanrou finished her breakfast and didn't plan to go out, so she copied scriptures in the room.

After writing a few sheets, a maid came to spread the word, saying that some wives from the mansion had come to visit her. Tong Wanrou was stunned for a moment before remembering that she was asking someone to come in, and she was wondering while walking to the flower hall.

These young ladies didn't even want to come over to see her when she first came in, why are they free today?
When they reached the flower hall, the sisters-in-law stood up together, smiled and waved to Tong Wanrou and said:

"Brothers and sisters, it's been a long time. Oh, you have a big belly, you have to give birth to a fat boy for our Fucha family."

The third sister-in-law, Finland, smiled brightly. She walked over and helped Tong Wanrou to the chair. Before Tong Wanrou sat down, she squatted down slightly to the sisters-in-law, and said:
"Wanrou is inconvenient, so she can't show respect to the sisters-in-law. I hope the sisters-in-law will forgive me."

The fifth sister-in-law replied on behalf of everyone: "You are inconvenient, so you can't salute, besides, we are all sisters-in-law, so what's so polite, isn't it?"

The fifth sister-in-law made the other sister-in-laws nod in agreement, and the third sister-in-law rolled her eyes and said again:

"The younger siblings really understand etiquette, much better than the sixth younger sibling."

Tong Wanrou smiled gently, and when they mentioned Tong Xianrou who was married to the sixth son, she couldn't help asking: "Didn't the sixth sister-in-law go to the palace? Has she come back?"

The third sister-in-law had a look of disdain on her face: "Her? I'm afraid I won't be able to come back in this life, right?" After finishing speaking, the sister-in-laws exchanged glances, not lacking in contempt, looking like they were waiting to see a joke.

Tong Wanrou asked calmly, "Why can't you come back?"

The fifth sister-in-law took the lead, and got a blank stare from the third sister-in-law to complain, only to hear the fifth sister-in-law say: "She, at first thought that after entering the palace, she would be able to make some bright things in the palace like the ninth younger siblings, but now it's good. Followed by two official women, she became the most despicable clothes-washing girl in the palace. Before the eldest lady was dismissed, I saw her find someone to repair her books and asked the eldest lady to find a way to get her out of the palace. It's really funny. "

Tong Wanrou thought, now that the two sisters, Tong Jiao and Tong Mei, have been demoted to official women, Tong Xianrou will not be able to live a good life following them. Thinking of their high ambitions before entering the palace, it seems that they are under the banner of occupying the entire harem. Hao Tang Tang spent his life in the palace, but now it seems that he really answered the sentence of the present world.

"In the past, the sixth sibling bullied the ninth sibling, and we all saw it. At that time, I felt that the sixth sibling's character was not good. Not to mention that we are all sisters-in-law, just you and her are sisters from the mother's family, but she is still like that. Bullying you, it's a pity that we were also soft-spoken at the time, and the sixth sibling was taken care of by the eldest lady, even if we rescued each other, there was no result, the ninth sibling can't blame us."

The third sister-in-law's words were sincere, and she acted as if she really wanted to help her at that time, but she was powerless.

Tong Wanrou looked at it and laughed in her heart, but on the surface she also accepted it respectfully, and said peacefully:

"Wanrou dare not complain about what the third sister-in-law said. We are all sisters-in-law, we should get along in harmony."

Her words caused the women in front of her to look at each other, and then, amidst everyone's deliberate flattery, Tong Wanrou ended the hypocritical conversation on the grounds that she was tired from sitting for a long time.

These women are like grass on the wall, falling on both sides when the wind blows.

Tong Xianrou was the first son and first wife back then, and they flattered and flattered her like this, but now that Tong Xianrou is in trouble, they come to her again to praise her, which is really boring. In the communication, it may be said that there are some ulterior thoughts brewing in the mind.

Think about it, Shanxi is better, there is no need to face such falsehoods, and there is no need to worry about who will harm her. Sure enough, the husband is thoughtful. In such a messy environment, even if she gives birth, it will not be too much. Happy.
