Daughter's favorite concubine: Don't come here, the black-bellied prince

Chapter 32 The Peppermint from Aunt Bai
She slept late last night, and Xinmeng woke up late the next day. After washing up, she went to Feixia Courtyard to greet her mother.

Sitting at the table, Zhao Dan'e was smiling, with unconcealable joy in the corners of her eyes and brows. When she saw Xinmeng coming, she called her to sit beside her.

After sitting down obediently, Xinmeng's sharp eyes saw a letter on the table, which had already been opened.There were a few strokes written on the envelope, which could barely be regarded as correct words: from my beloved wife Zhao Dan'e.

"Father's handwriting has improved a lot." Xinmeng joked playfully, but the smile didn't reach her eyes.When she was reborn, Shen Ji had already gone to the border. This was the first time in her life that she saw something related to Shen Ji.

In her previous life, when she relied on Shen Ji as her last resort, she learned that the cruel man had already abandoned the relationship between father and daughter and betrayed her to Xiao Yi, and she would never forgive him again.

"You, you made fun of your father again." Zhao Dan'e pretended to be angry, lightly slapped Xinmeng's hand that was reaching out to the letter, and explained kindly, "He was born with brute force since he was a child, and he lived by cutting firewood up the mountain. Money and time to read and read. He can read and write now, I taught him. If a general of the second rank of Zhen Guo does not even know a single character, how can he gain a foothold in the court? Naturally, those civil servants who pretend to be noble belittled."

"That's why my father admired the literati, and he carried Aunt Bai, who was born in a scholarly family, into the mansion and pampered him to heaven. Mother, you shouldn't let your father act recklessly, otherwise one day sooner or later he will spoil his concubine and destroy his wife. The identities of wife and daughter-in-law are all given to that woman." Xinmeng said angrily.She had already experienced her father's ruthlessness.Now that I say it, I just want to remind my mother to be careful.

Zhao Dan'e felt dejected for a moment, and then said with a wry smile: "Your father's status today is all because of his life and death on the battlefield, and his hard work for the emperor. He wanted to use the fragrance of books to cover up the smell of blood that would never be washed away from him. How can you not understand him?"

Xinmeng never expected her mother to say this, she was silent for a moment, and heard Zhao Dan'e sigh softly: "Don't worry, Meng'er, your father owes me a life, as long as I'm here, no one can shake your status as a prostitute." .”

Xin Meng looked at Zhao Dan'e in surprise.She always thought that her parents had deep feelings, so when her mother was alive, no matter how much Shen Ji doted on Aunt Bai, she did not force her to give up her position as wife.Only today did she know that Shen Ji's feelings for his wife were respect and gratitude.No wonder Shen Ji couldn't wait to help Aunt Bai right after Zhao Dan'e died in the previous life.

Before getting married, Zhao Dan'e was already the head of the Qiling Pavilion, and her status in the Jianghu was the same as Shen Ji's later status in the imperial court.She married the little-known Shen Ji, and she was willing to give up the power of commanding the wind and rain for him, guarding a deep house with peace of mind, and managing the general's mansion for him, so that he would have no worries and concentrate on working hard for fame. There was only one simple reason: she loved him too much up!
"Mother..." Xin Meng frowned, not knowing what to say to comfort her mother.

Zhao Dan'e faded away her sorrow, regained her joyful expression, and stuffed the unfolded letter paper into Xinmeng's hands: "Meng'er, look at how happy your father is after hearing the news that there will be a new addition to the family."

Shen Ji wrote only a few sentences in the letter, expressing three meanings, one was that he was very happy after hearing that his wife was pregnant, and the other was that he hoped that his wife would give birth to a son for the Shen family, but it would be fine if it was a daughter. Madam, rest well, don't be too tired.

After reading the letter, Xin Meng suddenly had an idea: the child in the mother's womb may be a turning point, so that the mother will not die early again.

Thinking of this, Xinmeng's mood eased a lot, and said: "Since the father has explained, the mother will take good care of the baby and give birth to a healthy younger brother for Meng'er, and leave the affairs of the house to the daughter."

"I will." Zhao Dan'e patted the back of Xinmeng's hand, "If there is anything you don't understand about the affairs of the house, Meng'er can just ask me, or discuss with Shen Fu, don't force yourself , exhausted the body."

"Meng'er knows." Xin Meng readily agreed.

In fact, when she was the Seventh Prince's Concubine in her previous life, she had been in charge of the Seventh Prince's Mansion for five full years, and she was already able to manage the inner house affairs with ease.Now it's just picking it up and doing it again. It may be a little rusty at first, but you can get started in a few days.

The mother and daughter were talking about themselves, and before they knew it, the sun was already rising.

The sunlight coming in from the open door and window was a bit dazzling, and the jadeite and agate who were waiting on the side looked at each other, and the jadeite was busy drawing down the curtain, while the agate walked outside the door.

Xinmeng was talking to her mother about preparing some small clothes for the child who is about to be born, but when she was worried about whether it was a younger brother or a younger sister, and it was difficult to embroider what pattern, Agate came in with a pot of plants in her arms, and put it carefully. On tall wooden planters placed against the wall.

Xinmeng didn't pay attention at first, but suddenly felt something was wrong while talking, so she turned her head and took a closer look at the potted plant with oval green leaves, which was more than one foot high.

She read it right, it was just a pot of ordinary mint.What made her feel strange was that Zhao Dan'e never placed flowers indoors.Why did Agate come in with a pot of mint and put it in the room?

"Mother, did you ask someone to put this mint in the room?" In order to guard against any potential danger, Xinmeng decided to ask clearly, and when she heard that it was sent by Aunt Bai, she immediately became nervous.

Zhao Dan'e smiled faintly, feeling that Xinmeng was a bit paranoid: "Two days ago she came to say hello, and I heard that there were a lot of mosquitoes in Feixia Courtyard, and somehow they flew into the tent at night, making me sleepless all night. Sleep well. She is caring, so she sent someone to deliver this pot of mint yesterday, saying that it can be placed in the room to repel mosquitoes. Thanks to it, I slept very well last night. This morning, I asked the agate to take it out and soak it Get in the dew and bask in the sun, the sun will be fierce now, so take it back to avoid wilting."

But Xinmeng was still a little uneasy. She felt that there was something strange about this pot of mint. She walked closer and looked at it for a long time. Heart.

Zhao Dan'e, who had been sitting at the table, said with a smile: "Now you should feel relieved."

Xin Meng took the veil handed over by Fei Cui and wiped her hands, thought for a while, and said: "Mother, it's better to be more cautious, the things sent over there must be inspected before they can be used, especially for food, it is best not to eat. The mother is pregnant with the son and grandson of our Shen family, if something happens, father will be disappointed, grandma will definitely embarrass mother."

Speaking of Shen Ji's mother, her mother-in-law, Zhao Dan'e's expression changed involuntarily.She married into Shen's family for more than ten years and only gave birth to one daughter. She suffered a lot of grievances because of her mother-in-law making things difficult for her.
