Chapter 16
Zhu's mother was surprised, with a flash of joy in her eyes, but she still declined: "How can this be done? The fourth grandma should go in person to pick people."

In this mansion, there are many children who have no job.If they want to get that leisurely and lucrative errand, they have to try their best to please the people above them.Usually, the masters of the courtyards personally choose the candidates. This time, it is a very honorable thing for Zhu Mama to be able to make the decision.

Mother Du insisted: "Sister, it's not that you don't know about our grandma's situation. You can't sit still for a while, so you don't have the energy to pick people yourself. My wife will be considerate when she knows. Old sister picks good people. It’s fine for the wife to bring it over.”

She knew that the most powerful person in this mansion was the wife.The people around the wife naturally have to win over with heart.Mama Du also saw clearly that Mama Zhu didn't mean to be partial to the eldest house, but she was an excellent candidate to win over. As long as her heart was slightly inclined to the fourth house, the situation of the fourth house would be much better in the future, so this matter was done. Shun Shui favor.

Zhu's mother also knows that the fourth grandma can't pick people by herself, not to mention that she is really moved by this matter, so she doesn't refuse: "Okay, then I will pick and choose, and I will definitely pick two capable ones for the fourth grandma." Within a day, the fourth grandma gave her two favors, and everything made her feel at ease. I wish my mother could not help but change her mind about the fourth grandma from the bottom of her heart.

Seeing that the matter has been dealt with, I wish my mother led a few women with a smile, and went back to report.

The board games in the Luoxia Courtyard were lively, and the Xikua Courtyard was not clean.Aunt Ruan woke up and found that her child was gone. After being shocked, she was furious and forced to ask Ruixue what was going on.Ruixue didn't dare to hide anything, so she had no choice but to tell the whole thing.

Aunt Ruan was angry and hated, and she first vented her anger towards the two closest maids around her.She said with hatred: "You two useless things, you are so careless, allowing that bitch to kill my child!"

Ruixue and Qingshuang knelt in front of the couch to plead guilty, and Aunt Ruan slapped them hard.

Aunt Ruan was weak after giving birth, these two slaps were not very powerful, but the long armor still left a scar on Qingshuang's face.Qingshuang's face hurts, and her heart hurts even more, but she can only lower her head to hide the unwillingness in her heart.

Ruixue was a loyal protector of the lord, she rushed over to grab Aunt Ruan's hand, and dissuaded her: "Auntie, don't be angry, you are still in Xiaoyue, so don't get too excited!"

Aunt Ruan waved her hands and gasped for breath: "You said, how could I not be angry if my child is gone? The people in the yard over there must be very proud. By the way, what did the wife say when she found out? Did you punish her?"

Ruixue said hesitantly, "No. Grandma brought Ejiao over, and told us not to spread rumors about Lilac's suicide."

Aunt Ruan couldn't believe it: "What? My child is gone, and my wife doesn't even ask, so forget it?"

Both Ruixue and Qingshuang lowered their heads and dared not speak.

Aunt Ruan looked at Qingshuang's submissive look, and got angry, she tore off the hairpin from her head and stabbed her fiercely: "You useless girl, what's the use of me raising you? Huh? My child is gone, you won’t make trouble with your wife for such a big matter? Just let others bully me?”

Qingshuang endured the pain, but she didn't dare to avoid it, she just cried in her heart, obviously Ruixue sent the meal that day, but Aunt Ruan didn't pursue it, she only took her out to vent her anger.

Aunt Ruan was furious for a long time, but still felt that she couldn't calm down, she said ruthlessly: "No, I'm going to see my wife."

Ruixue quickly dissuaded her: "Auntie, absolutely not. You are a confinement child now, so you have to take good care of it, and you won't be blown away!"

When Aunt Ruan moved, she felt a sharp pain in her stomach, so she had to stop.Touching her flat stomach, she felt sad and shed tears: "My poor child, it's just gone."

Rui Xue said cautiously: "Auntie, Fourth Master should be home in these two days. If you have any grievances, tell Fourth Master when the time comes, Fourth Master will definitely stand up for you."

After hearing Ruixue's words, Aunt Ruan calmed down a lot.The wife made it clear that she wanted to cover it up, but her child must not die in vain like this!Thinking of this, Aunt Ruan's expression became gloomy, and she told Ruixue, "Go quietly to Prince Li's mansion, find Mama Zhang who is next to Concubine Wu, and tell her about my miscarriage."

Ruixue took the order, found a chance, and went out quietly.

In the main room of Luoxia Courtyard, Jiwei felt a lot more relaxed.Although she still can't get rid of her crimes, at least she has a chance to breathe and can eat openly again.Mother Du volunteered to make soup for Jiwei herself.

When Sister Bei heard that her mother had woken up, she sat beside her mother clingingly, refusing to leave no matter what.The little girl was really terrified.Jiwei also understood her mood, let her sit beside her, and recited the ancient poems she had learned a few days ago.

Soon, news came from Xikuanyuan that Aunt Ruan had woken up.Jiwei hurriedly ordered: "Shuyue, give Aunt Ruan a share of the blood swallow sent by my wife, and let her take good care of her body, and the future will be long."

As soon as Aunt Ruan got the blood swallow over there, she slammed it to the ground.This is obviously a weasel giving a New Year greeting to a chicken!
Ji Wei listened, but just smiled.Anyway, her posture is already done enough, it doesn't matter if Aunt Ruan accepts it or not, but it's a pity that the blood swallow may not be able to buy it with money!
At noon, after lunch, Mrs. Xu took Sister Bei to take a nap.Mother Du also let all the girls go down, leaving Linglan alone to guard the gate, and then quietly whispered to Jiwei: "Girl, there is news. Dingxiang has indeed been collected."

Jiwei asked eagerly: "Who is it? Her younger brother?"

Mother Du shook her head: "Her younger brother and mother have moved away, and I don't know where they went. The one who collected her body was Shuanzi, the concierge of our mansion."

Ji Wei was stunned: "Shuanzi? What is his relationship with Ding Xiang? How could he collect her body?"

Mother Du was also a little puzzled: "I inquired, but I didn't hear that they have any special relationship."

Jiwei didn't know how to proceed with the investigation, so she said, "Let's have someone keep an eye on Shuanzi, and see who he usually contacts with."

This matter seems to have encountered a bottleneck, but Jiwei feels that as long as she waits patiently, the truth will come to light one day.

Mother Du saw that there was no one else around, so she came to persuade Jiwei again: "Girl, this time the fourth master is back, you can no longer be as stubborn as before. The old slave knows that you are high-minded, and you don't want the fourth master to get close to those foxes. But This woman can't be independent in this world. You still have to give in to the fourth master, after all, you and sister Bei will have to rely on the fourth master in the future, so this life will be easy! "

Ji Wei just wanted to sigh when she heard the words.In fact, Jiwei has already made up her mind and treats fourth master as a boss, but this boss not only needs to get along with him day and night, but sometimes he may have to sell his lust, which makes Jiwei a little unbearable.But Jiwei thought again, those stars are acting, don't they have to flirt with strangers?Anyway, life is just a play, and everyone can't help themselves, it just depends on who's acting is really moving.

Thinking of this, Jiwei calmly said to Mama Du: "Nurse, don't worry, I know what to do. After falling this time, I also want to open up. What kind of love is just a fleeting cloud. I am now I just want to live a good life and raise Sister Bei well so that she can marry a good family in the future."

Mother Du wiped her tears when she heard this: "It's good for the girl to figure it out. The old slave is really worried that the girl will not think about it, and has been fighting against the fourth master. It will be the girl who will suffer at that time!"

Jiwei held Mother Du's hand and said sincerely: "In the past, I was ignorant and let the nanny worry about it. However, if I change my attitude all of a sudden, it will appear that I am timid and deliberately try to please him. I think, This has to be done step by step.”

Mother Du wiped away her tears and said with a smile: "Young lady is right, we have to think long term."

After finishing talking, Jiwei was about to take a nap, but Shuyue went outside and said that she had something to report back.Ji Wei quickly motioned for her to come in.

After Shuyue came in, she approached Jiwei and whispered, "Grandma, I found out that after Aunt Ruan woke up this morning, Ruixue went out secretly, and she hasn't come back yet!"

Jiwei also became nervous when she heard that, Aunt Ruan was still lying on the bed, but her close girl ran out, something was really wrong.She quickly asked, "Do you know where she went?"

Shuyue shook her head: "I can't figure it out."

Ji Wei boasted: "You did a good job, keep watching and see when she will come back. It would be even better if you could find out where she went."

Shuyue nodded to express her understanding, and hurried out again.

Jiwei couldn't bear it anymore, so she lay down on the bed and squinted for a while, but her heart was always restless, struggling between half dream and half awake.After a while, she woke up suddenly, her heart was beating happily, and there was sweat on her forehead.

Danyun was embroidering at the table, when she heard the noise, she quickly put down her things and poured water for Jiwei to drink.

At this time, Mama Du opened the door curtain and came in. Seeing Jiwei's pale face, she hurriedly stepped forward to help her rub her back: "Why, the girl had a nightmare?"
