Mistress

Chapter 37

When it was time to light the lamp, Ying'er knocked lightly on the door, but no one opened it for a long time.She whispered: "Auntie, are you awake? The dinner has been delivered."

Zhang Chun's family was standing by the side carrying a large food box. Her arms were sore from carrying it, and the door hadn't opened yet.In the past, she was the one who waited on Aunt Ji closely, and Ying'er followed behind to get things.Now that the two of them have changed positions, Zhang Chun's family feels aggrieved.

She thought Ying'er's voice was too low, so she yelled loudly: "Auntie, it's time for dinner, Madam said that I have to go to Cui Song Yuan to worship later."

Ying'er gave Zhang Chun's family a look, and said unhappily: "What are you crying about, don't startle my aunt."

Zhang Chun's family directly shook their faces and said sarcastically: "Yo! You really think that being a big maid is a big deal. If you say that I eat more salt in the house than you eat rice, you are a stinky girl. I'm playing prestige on my head, and I don't even look at how much I weigh!"

Ying'er blushed, she was not good at arguing with others, she just said out of Aunt Ji's mind: "You are disrespectful to Auntie by shouting so loudly."

Zhang Chun's family felt that Ying'er had always been clumsy, but she didn't expect her to talk back quite a bit today. She snorted and said, "I really didn't see it. You are usually very simple and honest. I didn't expect you to be able to talk back in just a few days." You have improved, and I don’t know what kind of dirty tricks you used to flatter your aunt, you have learned how to be a ghost before you learn how to be a human being!”

Ying'er was anxious and ashamed, she blushed when she thought of what she did with Chen Hao, she didn't know how to deal with it, two lines of tears just rolled out.

Then the two of them heard a "kuang!", and Aunt Ji opened the door.Her face was as white as rice paper, and she glared fiercely at Zhang Chun's family.No matter how beautiful his face is, it also looks a bit fierce at this time. Zhang Chun's family feels chills all over his body, and he takes a few steps back unconsciously.

Aunt Ji followed closely step by step, staring at Zhang Chun's family with wide open eyes. Just when Zhang Chun's family's legs were weak from fright, Aunt Ji raised her palm, "Crack! Crack!" The two big ears of Zhang Chun's family slapped each other.

Aunt Ji slapped her back and said angrily: "You have eaten so much salt and you are not afraid of being stunned! No matter how old you are, you are just a lowly slave. No matter how dare you rely on your old man, you don't know the heights of heaven and earth, see if I don't tear your mouth off." !"

Zhang Chun's face was beaten to the left and then to the right, and his body staggered to the left and right. The two-layer food box in his hand "kuang! kuang!" fell in half, the bowls and plates were broken on the floor, and the vegetables and soup It was even more messy.

Ying'er was so frightened that she was stunned, and suddenly felt that she had caused the disaster, and felt guilty, so she quickly stepped forward to help Aunt Ji, "Auntie, it's all the servant's fault, don't get angry, the servant will help you in Come on, Qiaoer! Qiaoer! Go to the canteen and tell them to make another serving!"

Qiao'er, who was cleaning the outhouse, had long been petrified by this scene, she trotted out following Ying'er's order.

Zhang Chunjia covered her swollen face with her hands, and her teeth were itching with hatred. After being slapped twice like this, she could only be dumb and eat Coptis chinensis, swallowing bitterness into her stomach.She thought that she would not have to serve Aunt Ji in a few days, and she became unscrupulous, but she didn't expect Aunt Ji to beat her and scold her.

She had never been beaten in the past few years, and she swore secretly that as long as she got the chance, she would definitely vent her anger! .

She bent down to clean up the mess on the ground, but Ying'er exclaimed from the room, "Auntie, why are your pants full of blood!"

Zhang Chun's family immediately looked up, and sure enough, they saw Aunt Ji's thigh was bright red.

Aunt Ji suffered from abdominal pain all afternoon, she bled just now, she cleaned it up by herself, but she didn't expect to bleed so much now.Aunt Ji held back her tears and said calmly, "Ying'er, close the door quickly."

Ying'er thought she had heard wrong, why closed the door at this time, she should go to find Dr. Zeng, she said in a panic: "Auntie, this servant is going to Miaoyi Pavilion to find..."

"I told you to close the door!" Aunt Ji yelled, and she couldn't calm down anymore.

Ying'er trembled from being yelled at, and tremblingly came over and closed the door, shutting Zhang Chun's house out.Zhang Chun's family hurried over and put their ears to the door to listen.

Ying'er waited on Aunt Ji to change her pants, and sobbed distressedly, "Auntie, what's wrong with you, why are you bleeding so much?"

Aunt Ji was beating and yelling just now, and she got up from the kang to open the door with strength, but now that her strength has passed, she is so weak that she can't move when she lies on the kang.She said weakly, "Ying'er, I'm just having menstruation, take out all those menstruation belts in the closet, and change them for me every once in a while."

"My aunt didn't have such blood in her menstruation before. Is it because of other symptoms? That Dr. Zeng is really useless. He said yesterday that my aunt only needs to drink tranquilizers..."

Aunt Ji waved her hand to stop Ying'er from saying, "I know my body well, and I don't have any symptoms. This month's menstruation has been delayed by more than half a decade compared to the past. If I'm not feeling well, it's easy to get dizzy. Now the menstruation is here. Naturally, it has more blood volume than the original one."

Ying'er was a fool, she had no doubts after hearing this, and after Aunt Ji lay down, she went to the small ear room to cook bird's nest.

Seeing that Ying'er was about to come out, Zhang Chun's family quickly bent down to clean up the leftovers on the ground.Zhang Chun's family has had children before, so she guessed that Aunt Ji could not be menstruating, it was probably an abortion, she never thought that Aunt Ji would do such a shameless thing!

Suddenly, she sneered in her heart, just now she was thinking that she must utter such a bad breath in the future, but she didn't expect the opportunity to come after such a short time.Regardless of whether Aunt Ji went out of the palace to raise a wild man or hooked up with someone in the house, as long as she reported this matter to Madam, Madam would definitely not be able to spare Aunt Ji.

By the way, she still wants to publicize it everywhere, so that the whole house and the whole capital know about Aunt Ji's scandal. Hmph, you dare to slap me. I will make you suffer from flesh and blood and then drowned in saliva!
And in this way, this is a great achievement of Zhang Chun's family. She got rid of Aunt Ji for Madam, and Madam will definitely arrange a good job for her.Thinking of this, she felt joy in her heart, wishing to leave Qiushui Pavilion immediately.

When Ying'er cooked the bird's nest and brought it to Aunt Ji, Aunt Ji felt so dazed that she couldn't sit up at all.Ying'er was really distressed when she saw it. She helped Aunt Ji to sit, and she wept while feeding the bird's nest, and said, "Auntie, you have never been so weak when you have menstruation before. Are you really sure that you are fine?" ?”

Aunt Ji saw that Yinger was still loyal to her, and she thought that there would still be many things Yinger could help her with, and she couldn't bear to see that Yinger would end up having an abortion like her one day.She put her hand into the pillow, rummaged through it for a long time before she found a packet of powdered medicine, and handed it to Yinger, "From now on, after you do that with Chen Hao, you'll immediately make two dollars of medicine and drink it, you know?"

Ying'er still foolishly didn't understand what Aunt Ji meant.

Aunt Ji sighed, "You are such a silly girl, aren't you afraid of getting pregnant?"

Ying'er was taken aback, thinking of this in a daze, she was a little panicked.

"Don't panic, you have had it once, and I know that you came to the body yesterday, which means that you are not pregnant. Remember, you must drink it afterwards, and you don't have to drink it until you and Chen Hao get married. medicine."

Ying'er squeezed the medicine tightly, and she was more grateful to Aunt Ji in her heart, and became more and more loyal. From then on, in this world, she only lived for two people, that is Aunt Ji and Chen Hao.

"Ying'er, send Zhang Chun's family now, don't wait for Mrs. Tai's first seven, she stays in the Qiushui Pavilion is not good for us, let her go to Mrs.'s place to take the job again." Aunt Ji closed her eyes and rested as she said. , is really exhausted.

Ying'er came out and told Zhang Chun's family what Aunt Ji had ordered.Zhang Chun's family wanted to leave immediately, so she threw the rag in her hand, dusted her hands, and left.

Zhang Chun's family quickly came to Jinxiu Courtyard, because Nanny Cui had told her in the afternoon that whenever she learned anything from Qiushui Pavilion, she would come and report it.When she saw Nanny Cui, she told all about what she had just seen and what she had suspected. After hearing this, Nanny Cui looked terrified and hurried into the madam's inner room.

Zhang Chun's family sat on a chair in the outhouse and waited for his wife to give her a reward and arrange a fat job.

Xu Cheng took a nap in Jinxiu Courtyard in the afternoon and went to Cui Song Courtyard less than an hour later. Li Yan went to the steward room to count the funeral gifts from the guests with Steward Lin. supper.After dinner, she flipped through a book about funerals, and was about to put down the book in her hand and go to Cui Pine Courtyard to kneel and pay respects, but she didn't expect Nanny Cui to come in and say such a shocking thing!

Aunt Ji was actually pregnant, and secretly had an abortion herself!Thinking of the scene yesterday evening when Dr. Zeng reported Aunt Ji's illness to Xu Cheng, Li Yan suddenly understood that Xu Cheng already knew that Aunt Ji was pregnant, and maybe she also knew who made Aunt Ji pregnant.

Li Yan has almost guessed that that person should be the emperor, so Xu Cheng can't say anything, it is useful for him to keep Aunt Ji and Chen Hao.

Li Yan deeply felt that it was not easy to be a prime minister, and even the backyard was watched closely by the emperor.The so-called master of meritorious service, it seems that the Xu family has made great contributions to the imperial court for several generations, and the brave generals and disciples under his command are everywhere, and the emperor has long been shocked.

Nurse Cui said passionately: "Ma'am, you can order someone to drag that bitch here now, even if you beat her to death, the master will not blame you. Over the years, with that face, she has always been so indifferent." Go seduce the master, now the master ignores her, she even found an adulterer, she is really a shameless dirty bitch, yes, she will force the adulterer to confess! Ma'am, do you want me to go now Instruct the servants to go to the Qiushui Pavilion?"

Li Yan closed the book, pondered for a while, waved her hand and said: "Forget it, master should know about these things, Dr. Zeng may have told him. Master doesn't want to make a fuss, so let's not bother. You give Zhang Chun's family a few taels of silver, let She went to Huanyiyuan to take care of those rough girls. I heard from Steward Lin that since Sun Deng's family escaped from the mansion with Sun Deng, no one was in charge of Huanyiyuan. Take care of it."

Nanny Cui showed embarrassment, "Zhang Chun's family thought that Madam would arrange a fat job for her. If she went to take over the work of Sun Deng's family, she would feel aggrieved. In fact, she wanted to serve Madam with more monthly payment. You have face when you go out."

Li Yan shook her head, "We must not let her enter the Jinxiu Courtyard. She is someone who will betray the master when she is angry. When she goes to the Huanyi Courtyard, she doesn't have to do the work by herself, and she doesn't have to look at the face of the master. It's a lot easier, and I will send her a monthly allowance of three or two, which is equal to yours, wouldn't she be happy?"

After thinking about it, Cui Nanny felt that it was really a fat job, so she turned around and prepared to tell Zhang Chun's family.

"Slow down!" Li Yan stopped Nanny Cui again, because she suddenly thought of something and felt that she must not be negligent, "Although the master knew about Aunt Ji's pregnancy, he told Dr. Zeng to keep quiet, and now Zhang Chun's family also knows about it." Well, if she publicizes it everywhere, it will definitely ruin the master's affairs. You reward her with 20 taels of silver and seal her mouth."

"Yes, ma'am." Nanny Cui nodded and came out to meet Zhang Chun's family.
