Chapter 253: True love is difficult
That day, Ms. Liu was made a fuss by Mrs. Qi.
At first, I wanted to call Qi Yue back immediately, but then I thought about it, but it couldn’t be done!
That dog of his has a cowardly temper, and sometimes he doesn't care, and he really dares to get into trouble. You haven't got anything yet, so don't make him angry.
I rested for a long time, and when I saw Qi Yue again, I used the excuse that my girl had seen the scene in the garden, and gave him some kind words.
Qi Yue gave him a listening ear and touched his chin...
There was a personal maid in his yard who followed him around, so he asked her to inquire about it. When I came back, I said that Xiao Wu’s yard was well guarded. I only heard from a second-class girl: The fifth daughter-in-law called that person Zhuzhu... It was the first time he came back. I don't know who he was.
“She’s also called Zhuzhu...why isn’t she called Tutu?” Qi Yue secretly laughed.
Liu said it for a long time, thinking he had listened.
…
Wen Yu saw that everything in the yard was normal these days, so he let Xiaoji go.
Within two days, Xiaoji came back to report.
"Aunt Xiuyun came to Beijing when she was six years old. She was brought here by a woman in her forties or fifties. Her hometown is Jinzhou. Mrs. Hou called her aunt. Her husband and son were both dead. The daughter-in-law ran away with someone, and the family could not live well. I happened to find out about Mrs. Hou, so I came to Beijing to find her bride.
Mrs. Hou left them to live in the mansion for a few days, and then rented a small courtyard in the back neighborhood and asked the women to move out. I also bought a mother-in-law and a girl to serve me. But Aunt Xiuyun stayed in the house. Mrs. Hou said she was very pitiful and kept her by her side.
Aunt Xiuyun has been good-looking since she was a child. Our eldest man really regards her as his sister and always buys food and supplies for her outside. Mrs. Hou has always been very kind to her and even takes classes with the girls at home. The woman was not in good health and died of heart disease within a few years. "
After hearing this, Wen Yu thought it was nothing but strange that a woman in her forties could go to Beijing with a little girl. However, maybe Mrs. Hou's life was better and she went back to promote her family, but she was afraid that others would gossip, so she was looking for excuses.
"...I heard that the queen gave me the marriage, and the eldest man was very sad. He knelt in Mrs. Hou's room and begged for a long time. Mrs. Hou had no choice but to give her to him as his aunt! And she has been doting on him ever since. Alas, It’s really not easy for us, Madam, to do this!”
“I can’t get in touch with her on weekdays, what’s Aunt Xiuyun’s temperament like?” Wen Yu asked.
"Good-tempered and quiet, he never competes for favors or creates trouble for his wife. With the old lady protecting her and the eldest master doting on her, no one dares to look down upon her! Everything she uses is first-class. Even the second master and the kitten girl , the treatment is the same as that of a legitimate son and daughter! I heard that the eldest master gave her a lot of private rooms. Hey, I guess he didn’t even give it to our wife!”
"My mother-in-law is rich! No need!" Wen Yu snorted coldly.
“Don’t need anything?” Qi Wu came back.
Wen Yu quickly stood up and asked, "Why are you back so early?"
“There’s not much going on today. The grandson said: The concubine misses you, so I’ll leave you free!”
“Is there any place in the East Palace that I can go to if I want to? Your Highness, is it good?”
“It rained a few days ago and I caught a little cold, but I should be fine!”
“Would you like Zhuzhu to make a bowl of spicy soup? I’m so sweaty after eating that, it’s so comforting!”
“I’ll ask you tomorrow. I’m sweating all over, so I’ll go and wash up first…”
After taking a shower, I changed into the clothes prepared by Wen Yu and came out refreshed.
Wen Yu stood behind him and wiped his hair, while telling him about Wen Feng.
Qi Wu turned around and looked at Wen Yu without saying a word. The hair is wet, the hair on the eyes is wet, the whole person is clean and innocent...
"What's wrong!? Why are you looking at me like this?" Wen Yu asked in a low voice, feeling confused and a little uneasy.
"I encountered a case." Qi Wu stretched out his hand to pull her and sat next to him. "A colleague's wife killed his concubine and the son born by the concubine. The concubine was very good-looking and he loved her very much. When we were drinking together, I heard him brag that his wife had given birth to two daughters, and his concubine had given birth to a son. Some time ago, the concubine insisted on recording the birth of the son in his wife's name, but of course the wife did not agree.
Then, for some unknown reason, the younger daughter fell into the well in the backyard and drowned. His wife stabbed the woman and her son to death with scissors..." After hearing this, Wen Yu was stunned for a while: "So, that stupid man got his wish now? "There was sarcasm in the corner of his mouth.
“Why don’t you scold that concubine for being extravagant and unruly?”
"It is human nature to push the limits and look forward to Shu. There are rules, but she doesn't abide by them. She is not punished but gets benefits. Of course she will no longer abide by them, but will actively break them. She even wants to set her own rules.
What about men? In fact, it is human nature to like beautiful things because of food and color. But why would he marry an ordinary-looking wife? It's nothing more than coveting her origin and dowry!
Want everything! However, that's how things are in the world... I'm afraid even the princess will be troubled by this. "
“Don’t worry, I won’t let this happen to you.” Qi Wu confessed.
Wen Yu smiled: "I am different from this woman. I will not hold back. Nor will I put all the weight of my happiness on others. No matter if that person is a husband or a child. When talking about Princess Huiduan with my mother, Although we don’t agree with her actions, we admire her courage.”
Qi Wu's heart tightened. Although the two of them were already husband and wife, he always felt uneasy sometimes.
While Wen Yu was busy working, he felt both proud and a little worried.
It seems that she can live quite well without him...
He quickly pulled her back: "Ayu, don't admire her, I won't let you be in that situation. We are married and we are husband and wife. We share honor and disgrace, and share happiness and joy."
You see, I am busy outside, but knowing that you are at home makes me feel at ease. Although I don’t pay much attention to what you do. But I can also relate to your excitement and joy after it's done.
I am... not good at words, and I don’t understand romance, but I know it in my heart. I hope you are like me, the safe place of your heart is home. "
These words, although plain, are sincere. To be able to say it out of his mouth was beyond Wen Yu's expectations.
Her eyes showed deep affection unconsciously, and she looked at him curiously.
Yingying’s eyes turned Qi Wu’s ears red.
Wen Yu nodded: "Okay. Then I promise you that I will do my best."
The two people suddenly felt that they were much closer to each other.
Then, there was the lingering in the middle of the night, which turned out to be the happiest time for the two of them since they got married.
…
Qin Lianyue from the Jiang family huddled in bed and cried most of the night.
The two concubines entered the door at the same time.
The eldest sister-in-law is the housekeeper, and she does everything according to the rules. In the courtyard room, the staff are arranged neatly but not in a ostentatious manner.
Sister-in-law even takes extra care of her emotions. No girl or woman in the house gossips, and even the food is cooked to suit her taste.
As before, her husband joked with her, brought back interesting things from outside, and even took her out as a guest.
But the concubine matter was never mentioned again! It’s as if the busyness over there doesn’t exist!
Today, a few tables were set up, a few friends came over, and he has been busy there.
She was looking forward to him coming back from socializing and returning to her place...
Tell her that this is just a difficult situation for her mother. He himself was reluctant. He won't enter the door over there...
But in the end, Aqin came back and said that he had gone to Aunt Chu's place...the red candle went out.
