The Cultivation of Concubine

Chapter 16: Afraid of the Dark (2)
Ajiao took it with a smile, and said decently: "Please tell the prince, my servant, I would like to thank His Royal Highness for the reward." Ajiao looked down at the two big red carp in the wooden barrel, and the fish swam happily with their tails wagging.A Jiao raised her head and saw Shi Zi Ye looking at her.After this day, Ajiao became less restrained, and boldly suggested in a low voice, "My lord, do you want to try the sweet and sour carp made by your maid tomorrow?"

Seeing that her fear of him had eased a bit, Xiao Heng nodded slightly and said, "Yes."

Today's breakfast, she could see that Shizi's taste is too sweet, presumably he also likes sweet and sour fish.She asked herself that her culinary skills were not bad, and she was best at sweet and sour fish.She just went to Jitangxuan to serve, just when she needed to gain a firm foothold.Today, she rejected His Highness the Crown Prince's proposal without hesitation. Although it was because she was unwilling to go, she also let the Shizi see her loyalty.Anyway, it's a good thing.

Ajiao carried the barrel and got into the carriage.The two returned to the Yasukuni Mansion together.

Back at the Yasukuni Mansion, it was already getting dark.Ajiao put the fish in the small kitchen of Jitangxuan, but saw Aunt Ruyi hurrying to Shi Ziye's study.

Curious, Ajiao stepped forward and asked, "Aunt Ruyi, what happened?"

Ruyi's complexion was not good-looking, her round face was twisted tightly, and she whispered to A-Jiao: "Aunt Lu accidentally had a miscarriage."

Aunt Lu?Ajiao's eyes froze, a little surprised.She naturally knew that Aunt Lu was a treasure on the heart of the Duke.It is said that Aunt Lu and Grandpa Guo used to be cousins ​​of childhood sweethearts. If the marriage hadn't been bestowed by the late Emperor, Grandpa Guo would not have married Mrs. Duke and wronged Aunt Lu to be a concubine.Although she only stayed in the mansion for three years, the Duke still knew a little about Aunt Lu's love for her.Aunt Lu likes to eat lychees, and every year when the lychees are ripe, the most are sent to Aunt Lu's house.

only--

When was Aunt Lu pregnant?There was no movement at all in this mansion.

Ruyi said: "Aunt Lu is less than three months pregnant, and I planned to wait until the fetal image is stable. But today, the sixth girl had an argument with the fifth girl in the yard. Miss Liu pushed her to the ground, and she became popular on the spot... and the child was gone."

Ruyi looked anxious, and said: "Forget it, I don't want to talk to you. I have to tell Shi Ziye..." She sighed again, "I don't know what the sixth girl suffered..."

Heirs are the most important thing, and besides, Aunt Lu holds such a heavy weight in the heart of the Duke.Although the sixth girl is a prostitute, Ajiao felt a little worried when she thought that the Duke of Guo didn't care much about this daughter.She saw Master Shizi coming out of the study, followed by Aunt Ruyi.

A Jiao thought for a while, and followed.

At the moment, the old lady, the Duke and his wife are all in Aunt Lu's Tinglan residence.

As soon as he entered, he saw the grandpa in a gray round-neck robe with a serious face, and the old lady sitting next to him was also full of worry.As for the sixth girl, Xiao Yuti, stood next to Mrs. Lan's wife with a pale face, her eyes were red, perhaps she had just cried.

The sixth girl, Xiao Yuti, was lively and bright, while the fifth girl, Xiao Yuxian, who was standing next to the Duke, was delicate and gentle. She looked very much like Aunt Lu, so the Duke was partial to this concubine.It stands to reason that this really shouldn't be, but who told Aunt Lu to win the favor of the Duke.Speaking of which, Miss Liu is also a poor person. If it weren't for Mrs. Guo's wife's strong background, life probably wouldn't be so comfortable.

Xiao Yuti looked at Xiao Heng who came in with red eyes, and called out aggrievedly: "Brother."
