After the new widow, I became a tyrant's tender outer chamber

Chapter 103 Routines
After seeing the man in black walking out from the east chamber yesterday, Cheng Zhushi still felt uneasy.That kind of body shape and charm are beyond what ordinary people can have, and she can't convince herself by saying "what kind of clan is she?"

A thought that she didn't even dare to think about, faintly entrenched in her mind.

If this matter is true, and if that person finds out what she did to Sister Yi, the Cheng family may not have a good life.

Leaving aside other things for the time being, even Sister Yi's complexion, just standing still, is enough to attract people's attention.Princess Kuang had a good relationship with Qiu'er earlier, it is unknown when that one noticed her.

Cheng Zhushi picked up the teacup and took a sip. The bitter taste flowed into her throat. She said slowly, "Auntie can target you, but Miss Yi, think about it for yourself. Is it reasonable for you to do this?"

"Thanks to Your Majesty's wisdom, the law of soaking pig cages was abolished, otherwise you would not be able to come to me to drink tea properly today." She glanced at Ruan Yuyi's complexion, and seeing that her complexion was a little pale, she knew that she was getting up Reaching the effect of intimidation, he secretly smiled.

No matter how gentle and respectful this sister Yi is, she is still just a young lady who has not yet reached her twenties.

She turned and said slowly, "Your Ruan family is in decline, and your aunt loves you so much that she allows you to be sent to the Cheng family. My Cheng family treats you like a direct descendant and gives you rich clothes and fine food. Can you be worthy of the Cheng family?"

She assumed the posture of an elder and questioned Ruan Yuyi step by step.

Ruan Yuyi closed her eyes and said nothing.

Maybe A Niang and Cheng Zhushi thought they had concealed it from her, but she actually knew it all.

There is a law in Dawu that although the dowry is moved into the husband's house, it still belongs to the woman.When she got married back then, she only brought two dowries with her. She just thought that A Niang would not be able to give any more, and she was considerate of the difficulty of the Ruan family now, so she didn't think she could say anything.

But until later, Cheng Zhushi taught her the method of managing the common affairs of the backyard, and accidentally revealed it.It turned out that there was still a part of the dowry at that time, but it did not come from the outside, but was directly charged into the account books of the Cheng family.

She was able to marry into the Cheng family because A Niang almost used up the last available financial resources of the Ruan family in exchange for her.

She couldn't imagine what kind of miserable life A Niang is living now.It's not that she never thought about going back to question A Niang, but A Niang came to believe that if she went back without authorization, she would not recognize her daughter.

When she got the letter, she clutched the letter paper tightly, crying uncontrollably.

She knew that A Niang was doing it for her own good.Willing to observe the festival for Cheng Xingqiu voluntarily, in fact, part of it is A Niang's warning. If she leaves, then her A Niang will give the dowry in vain.

Now Cheng Zhushi's face makes her feel chilly.

But Mrs. Cheng Zhu didn't know what she was thinking, so he told her about the past, "In a blink of an eye, it's almost two ages. Thinking of your timid and cute appearance when you first came to Cheng's house, it was really very pleasing."

Cheng Zhushi didn't intend to let her go for nothing, so after the punishment, he also wanted to give her a candied date.

She seemed to be talking about it, and asked again, "Do you remember having lunch when you first came here? You touched the chopsticks, and the chopsticks were covered with dust, so you had to bend down to pick them up, or was Mama Li stopping you?" You, I have taken a clean one for you, so I will let it go."

Ruan Yuyi's eyes were very well formed, as if filled with the vast mist of Jiangnan water town, when she raised her head from under the table, everyone who looked at her felt soft-hearted.

Thinking, Cheng Zhu looked her up and down.Today, Sister Yi has changed a lot compared to when she first arrived, she has lost her youthfulness, and she has a delicate and charming charm.

"My aunt really regards you as her daughter. If you know that you have repented, you will still be my aunt's good sister. Let's pretend that this incident never happened."

She paused for a moment, then said, "If you really like that man, at least tell your aunt his identity, so that I can decide for you whether you are in the same family or not."

After laying the groundwork for a long time, she finally said what she really wanted to ask.

Ruan Yuyi raised her eyes and looked at her, the eyes were clear and moist like morning dew, making people feel very sincere, "Yuyi has never doubted that my aunt is kind to Yuyi. It's just that the man came from a humble background—"

Before saying a word, she pursed her lips and closed her eyes, pretending to be ashamed.

Although based on his words and deeds, it can be seen that he is at least a county king with a foreign surname.But if it is true, firstly there is no basis and she doesn't know who he is, and secondly, it is the trick set by Mrs. Cheng Zhu, and she is afraid that she will be disadvantageous to him.

If it was the old Yuyi, she probably wouldn't have doubted Cheng Zhushi's intentions, and when she asked her, she obediently said it.

But she gradually realized that Cheng Zhushi didn't treat her well, so she accepted her dependence.

"So that's the case." Cheng Zhu secretly let out a sigh of relief.Fortunately, it was different from what she thought, otherwise it would be really difficult.Since that concubine is nothing to be afraid of, she can't spoil the marriage between Sister Yi and Rui'er.

When she got what she wanted to hear, she chatted a few more idle words like everyone else, and then said that she was tired, and asked Mama Li to send one to Miss Cousin.

Mama Li stepped forward, glanced at Ruan Yuyi, and signaled, "Miss Biao, please." Mama Li's tone was not really respectful, her attitude was casual, as if what she was looking at was not the master, but some kind of inferior person.

She nodded slightly, seeing Li's mother's contempt, and she was too lazy to care about it.

Cheng Zhushi sent Li's mother to see her off, which meant surveillance.

After returning to the courtyard, she had to weave some nets to pass the time, and when she looked up again, she saw that there was not much light left outside, and the colors of the trees, flowers and plants seemed to darken a little, adding to the loneliness.

She called Mu Xiang to light a candle, and continued slowly with her hands.

To use their eyes, candles were lit on all sides.The candle flame jumped up and down, as if it was also alive, and cast many shadows under her feet, longer or shorter, as if she was with this little lady.

It's just that she saw that the sky outside was getting dark, maybe she was tired from knitting, and didn't concentrate just now, she looked out the half-open window frequently, and her subordinates didn't feel slowed down.

It wasn't until Mu Xiang came in to remind her to rest that she put down the things in her hands and washed and changed her clothes.

Mu Xiang was about to cut off the last wick.

"Leave one." She suddenly whispered.

Mu Xiang snapped her scissors and looked back at Miss.She remembered that Miss did not have the habit of going to bed with a light on, but because she slept lightly, she would wake up when the light was on.

Seeing Ruan Yuyi nod her head slightly, she will understand, the young lady is making it easier for that person.Mu Xiang had seen the bed before it was cleaned, her face was reddish, but it was not obvious because of the darkness in the room.

She put down the scissors, lowered the bed curtain for Ruan Yuyi, then bowed and backed out.

The room fell silent, she lay on her side on the bed, but she didn't feel sleepy.She stared at the bed curtain in a daze, the candlelight not far away was blurred by the bed curtain into a little halo, making the curtain even brighter red.

But until she was sleepy and fell asleep at some point, the window still kept its original appearance.

Seeing that there was no movement in the inner room, Mu Xiang, who was guarding the outside, sighed softly, went in and lit the candle, closed the window, miande
In fact, she was still secretly hoping that the man she accidentally hit and clinged to would help her escape from the Cheng family.

She was imprisoned in a courtyard, judging from Cheng Zhu's intentions today, that deadline may be approaching.I have no choice but to place my hopes elsewhere
It's just that for two nights in a row, she never waited for that person.

Gradually, she stopped looking at the window.Instead, focus more on netting or embroidering small objects.
