Value peace

Chapter 228
Mrs. Zhou stood up straight, looking at the Xianji Courtyard in the northeast.

"At this time, Mrs. Tai suddenly fell ill. Mrs. Xu was very busy hosting the conference. Mrs. Wei even ignored Mrs. Xu. Naturally, no one dared to ask her to treat her illness. As for Aunt Shui, she was weak and weak. The wind blows and I fall, only me, in front of the bed day and night... So, before she died, Mrs. Tai touched my growing belly and told me earnestly: If a man's heart is biased, no matter how hard you fight, you can't fight Yes! When you think about children, you can't be impulsive..."

Madam Zhou looked back at Gu Xiyan.

"At that time, although I knew she was admonishing me, I didn't really understand what Madam Tai meant."

Gu Xiyan understood.

Even though Madam Zhou was sent to her son's side with ill intentions, no matter what, she saw this maidservant who grew up by her side and devoted herself to being by her side at the last moment, in her heart, more or less Give birth to a few compassionate hearts, mention her, and hope that she will be safe and healthy in the future!

"After Mrs. Tai died, I was miserable and stayed in the banyan garden every day to do some needlework. At that time, although there were three aunts living in Gongshunyuan, Mrs. Wei came from a noble family and was always arrogant. Even Mrs. Xu didn't care about her. In her eyes, she entered the door earlier than me, and I always felt a little uncomfortable in front of her, so I gradually became close to Aunt Shui, who was also a maidservant. Sometimes, she would come to the Banyan Garden to sit and sit. I will also go to Huaiyuan to hang out.

One night, I stayed very late in Huaiyuan, and through the glass window, I saw the Duke suddenly come.I was a little flustered, so I took Aunt Shui to pay her respects, but Aunt Shui smiled bitterly and said to me, I am here to see Mrs. Wei, so let's not go, otherwise, Mrs. Wei is not happy, and I will take down people to vent my anger Yeah... I was taken aback at the time, and said, isn't Mrs. Wei almost eight months old?Aunt Shui blushed and said, "I don't care about these things. After five months, I started to rest in Mrs. Wei's room."

I was surprised, but also felt sad, so I couldn't help complaining to Aunt Shui.

On the second day, I regretted it a lot, and felt that my actions were too frivolous, and I shouldn't have said those things in front of Aunt Shui, who is also my aunt.Who knows when these words will become evidence of my 'jealousy'.But Aunt Shui didn't seem to know the strangeness of it, not only chatting and laughing with me indifferently, but also getting closer to me, if she had anything to say, she said it outright in front of me.Only then did I know that Master only stayed in her room for one night.

The two of us seemed to have found a bosom friend suddenly, and we couldn't finish talking.

Not long after, Mrs. Wei's delivery date was approaching, and Aunt Gao moved into Huaiyuan. In order to make room for Aunt Gao, Aunt Shui came to live with me.

Like Aunt Shui, I have two months to go before giving birth. We talked about having a son and a daughter when we were together. Although everyone didn't say anything clearly, we all hoped that we could have a son and Mrs. Wei would have a daughter. .

When it came time for Mrs. Wei to give birth, Aunt Shui and I were called away suddenly.

At that time, Huaiyuan was very deserted, and it was full of people brought by Aunt Wei from her mother's house. Grandpa Guo stood in the center of the room with a gloomy face. When he saw us entering, he nodded to Aunt Gao beside him without even looking at us.

Aunt Gao led Aunt Shui into a room on the other side. After a while, Aunt Shui came out and called me in again.

After I went in, Aunt Gao asked me to lie down on the bed beside me, and touched my stomach. She didn't touch my stomach gently like usual, but pressed it hard. I was a little scared, so I yelled. Aunt Gao', Aunt Gao turned her head, comforted me with a soft smile, and said, don't worry, Mrs. Tai told me before she left that it's fine.For some reason, when I heard it, I became even more afraid.Trembling, I put on my clothes and followed Aunt Gao out, only to see Aunt Shui standing aside pretending to be calm.

Aunt Gao said a few words in the ear of Grandpa Guo, and Grandpa Guo nodded. Aunt Gao asked someone to help Aunt Shui to the Nuan Pavilion beside him, and let me go back to the banyan garden first.

I went back to Banyan Garden, and the more I thought about it, the more strange I felt, and the more I thought about it, the more I felt something was wrong, so I sent the girl next to me to Huaiyuan to inquire about it, but the girl came back and said, the Duke of the country told me that no one is allowed to approach Huaiyuan, otherwise , just shoot to kill.I was fidgeting in the banyan garden, but Madam Yi who was next to Mrs. Xu came to see me suddenly and asked me if Mrs. Wei was going to give birth.

I don't know why, but I had an idea and said, why didn't I hear anything!

Nanny Yi stared at me for a long time before leaving.

Early the next morning, I heard that Mrs. Wei and Aunt Shui each had a son. Mrs. Wei's son was born first and was an older brother, and Aunt Shui's son was born later and was a younger brother.

I stayed there.

Both Aunt Shui and I are due to give birth in two months... I thought of what Aunt Gao said that day, and I suddenly understood.

It turned out that Aunt Shui and I were pregnant to ensure that Mrs. Wei could give birth to a son. "

Looking at Mrs. Zhou's sad smile, Gu Xiyan couldn't help but shudder.

"Since that day, I have been offering incense in front of God Xiantian every day, hoping that he will bless me to give birth to a daughter smoothly. Unexpectedly, I still gave birth to a son."

Having said that, Mrs. Zhou smiled brightly at Gu Xiyan.

"When Fansheng snuggled into my arms and sucked my milk vigorously, I suddenly understood Mrs. Tai's words. No matter what the truth is, no matter what the original purpose of the Duke, for the sake of the child, I will To live strong!

Since then, for the sake of life, I am willing to live humble and kneeling, not daring to make any noise.I watched Aunt Shui move to Gui Garden, saw the Duke of the State opened a corner gate between Gongshun Court and Songzhen Court in her name, saw her rich clothes and fine food, the servants were in groups, and she and Mrs. Xu Frequent visits... But he didn't even have the courage to remind her... Until one day, Qi Han suddenly told others that he was the eldest son... I knew something was going to happen, but what I didn't expect was that the Duke Grandpa's heart will be so cruel..."

Mrs. Zhou closed her eyes, with a tear dripping from the corner of her eye.

Gu Xiyan hesitated to speak.

Mrs. Zhou, I'm afraid she thought of what happened in Huaiyuan back then!

Mrs. Zhou slowly opened her eyes, her dark and moist pupils soaked with tears were full of sadness.

"It was the first time Maosheng came back to Muxiu after he went to the Northwest Daying. The Duke asked me to take Fansheng to Huaiyuan for a small gathering. I didn't dare to be slow, so I helped Fansheng change a piece of clothes and hurried over. Grandpa Guo saw us, but he didn't see any joy, and kept frowning. I stood aside cautiously and didn't dare to say anything. Then Aunt Shui brought Qi Han. I was about to go forward to greet Aunt Shui, but Grandpa Guo Suddenly said to me, in this room, as long as your craftsmanship is not bad, let's make some glutinous rice balls for the children to eat!
In those years, the Duke always liked to take Qi Han with him wherever he went, and he developed a domineering temperament. I was afraid that this child would cause trouble for Fansheng, and I was worried that the two children would fight, and I wanted Fansheng to stay in Maosheng's house. Even if there is a real fight, with Maosheng's skill, he won't suffer too much.I just asked: Why didn't I see Maosheng?

When Grandpa Guo heard this, he became angry and asked you to make some glutinous rice balls. What are you talking about here!

Seeing that this posture was wrong, I hurriedly smiled and dragged Fansheng to the small kitchen.

It was only when we got to the small kitchen that we realized that Maosheng had disappeared.

Fansheng yelled to find Maosheng.

I wanted to cook, but I was afraid that Fansheng would be scalded by the soup, so I asked the maid beside me to take him to Maosheng.

When I finished making glutinous rice balls and went to the side room to wash my face and hands, Fansheng suddenly ran in, threw herself into my arms and cried loudly.

I was startled, and while wiping his eyes, I asked him, what happened, why are you so sad, did you fight with the third brother.

Fansheng sobbed and said, I went to look for my second brother, but I couldn't find it. I saw my father feeding Qi Han glutinous rice balls... Auntie, why doesn't my father like me!
I was taken aback at the time, feeling sore in my heart, I tried my best to comfort Fansheng, saying, Daddy treats Maosheng differently...

Who knew that Fansheng cried even more sadly when he heard this, saying, last summer, my father asked my second brother to write, but my second brother refused to write, my father took a feather duster and wanted to beat my second brother, but my second brother grabbed the feather duster in my father's hand and broke it It became two halves, and ran away in a hurry. Dad just shook his head and sighed when he saw it.I don't know how to write, and I ran like my second brother, but my father caught me back and beat me hard... Auntie, why is it that I am also a son, and my father is not as good to me as he is to my second brother, nor is he as good as my second brother? I love my third brother so much...

I murmured, unable to utter a word, and started crying while holding Fansheng... At this moment, Bao Niang, who was next to Mrs. Wei, suddenly called me and said, "Qi Han suddenly fainted after eating the glutinous rice balls I made." die past.

At that time, my eyes were dark, but my heart was like a mirror, holding Fansheng, and kept saying, it’s not me, it’s not me...

Bao Niang looked at me with a sympathetic look.

In the flash of flint, I suddenly came to my senses, and I knelt down in front of Baoniang, saying, as long as Mrs. Wei is willing to let Fansheng stay by Maosheng's side, I am willing to do anything. "

Having said that, Mrs. Zhou lowered her head and let out a long sigh.

"You know what happened later.

Mrs. Wei kept her promise and asked Fansheng to follow Maosheng to the Northwest Camp. I was imprisoned in the banyan courtyard, and was released by Maosheng until the Duke died. Later, Fansheng was allowed to open a mansion outside to fight for me. I came back with an edict from the court..."

But all of this was bought by a woman with her youth!
Gu Xiyan only felt a tightness in her chest, and her heart was very heavy.

Mrs. Zhou smiled and said, "After hearing this, you must feel very boring!"

Gu Xiyan didn't know what to say to comfort Mrs. Zhou, and it seemed that no matter what she said, she couldn't make Mrs. Zhou feel relieved.

She said vaguely: "These things are over, and you can enjoy the happiness with third uncle in the future."

Mrs. Zhou looked at Gu Xiyan fixedly, and said with a smile: "I am an aunt who was born as a maidservant. I myself thought that from now on, I would be able to enjoy the blessings... But, Han Guan entered Mansion, where can I live in peace?"

The corners of Gu Xiyan's mouth twitched slightly, and after a long while, she said with a guilty conscience: "We have no other intentions, just want to take advantage of Guan Han's happiness..."

Mrs. Zhou smiled slightly: "In that case, in a few days, I will send someone to take Guan Han back!"
