Chapter 78
Shen Xu narrowed his eyes, and if he remembered correctly, in Aunt Zheng's yard these days, the cost of food and clothing is about the same as before.

Not to mention other things, but the clothes she was wearing were all made in the old days, and I helped her choose two of them.

But according to what Madam said, newer and better ones have been prepared, why is she still acting like that?

"Brother Xu, what's the matter with you?" When Shen Xu was thinking about something, Cui kept observing his reaction, and seeing his frown tightly, she asked with concern.

"It's nothing." After recovering, Shen Xu stretched his brows, responding to Cui Shi's question.

Seeing that he clearly had something to do but didn't say anything, Cui Shi didn't let it go, she pulled Shen Xu to sit down, and talked to him in a soft voice.

But the doubts in his heart started, how could Shen Xu sit still?He really wanted to go to Xiao Zheng's yard right now and ask her a few words.

"Husband, right now Aunt Zheng is pregnant, I heard...she made the decision to give you the maid in her yard...?"

In fact, Cui Shi had already confirmed this matter, but in front of Shen Xu, she did not say she was sure, but looked very hesitant.

After hearing her finished speaking, Shen Xu's face was slightly stiff. These days he has been living in Aunt Zheng's courtyard, and he did use the maids around her, but he felt a little uncomfortable when his wife told her about it.

"Husband, please be at ease. My concubine's question does not mean anything else. After all, my husband has passed his [-]th birthday. Apart from me, there are only two concubines, Aunt Zheng and Aunt Qin, in this backyard."

"At present, Aunt Zheng is pregnant, and my husband doesn't go to Aunt Qin's place often, so even if there are two more younger sisters in the backyard, it will be justified."

"Since Aunt Zheng's servant girl has served her husband, why don't you take out the side room in Aunt Zheng's courtyard and let her live there first. If she gives birth to a son and a half later, let her be your aunt, how about it?"

When Cui said this, Shen Xu couldn't help but feel relieved, the maid in Aunt Zheng's yard is pretty good, and she has served him very well these days.

"Madam is so magnanimous, it is really a blessing for my husband, this matter can be decided by Madam."

"Okay." Cui responded with a smile, and waved for Aunt He, and told her a few words.

Not only did he ask Aunt He to take people to clean up the side room, but he also deliberately bought a lot of things for him, and he also sent people to the cloth shop to pick up some good materials and make clothes for the maid.

Shen Xu sat at the side, listening to Cui's soft-spoken instructions, he couldn't help but think of Xiao Zheng's behavior again.

"Ma'am, my husband suddenly remembered that there are still some things that need to be dealt with first. Have you ever had dinner?"

After Cui's orders were finished, Shen Xu stood up and asked.

"Not yet. I thought that if Brother Xu came back, we would use it together. If Brother Xu couldn't come back for something, I would use it myself."

"Then just wait for me, I'll be back in a while." He also didn't eat, but right now, if he didn't ask a few words, he wouldn't be in the mood to use it.

"Then I'll wait for Brother Xu to come back." When sending Shen Xu out of the door, Mrs. Cui did not forget to remind her again, and Shen Xu responded and walked towards the outside of the main courtyard.

As soon as he left, he and his aunt stood beside Cui Shi. It was already evening, and even if he had to make arrangements, it would be tomorrow.

"Ma'am, master, this is..."

"I think I'm going to visit Aunt Zheng, tell someone to prepare dinner." Looking at the gate of the courtyard again, Cui suppressed the smile on her face and said in a flat tone.

She turned and went back into the house, sat down at the table, and poured herself a cup of tea.

"Ma'am, didn't the master say he was coming back for dinner? Why don't you wait a little longer?"

"Since I went to Aunt Zheng's place, why would I come back? The little Zheng will definitely find a way to keep the master. Even if she fails, the maid beside her can also help."

After taking a sip of tea, Cui said with a smile that she didn't really care about Shen Xu not coming back.

"Since Madam knows that the servant girl will help Xiao Zheng, why..."

"Why did you arrange a place for that servant girl and let her be the master's roommate?" Cui Shi took over what she hadn't finished talking with her aunt and finished.

Nodding with her aunt, Cui put down the cup, with a deeper smile on her face.

"In the past few years, the master has been doting on little Zheng. Even if he is dissatisfied with little Zheng because of the current matter, it is not so easy to completely fall out of favor with little Zheng."

"Just by watching these two times, you will know that Mrs. Zheng is also cunning, otherwise she wouldn't have entered Shen's house with a big belly back then."

"I arranged that maid, not to help Xiao Zheng. Sooner or later, she will become trouble for Xiao Zheng."

"People's hearts are never easy to satisfy. That maid was originally just a maid, but now she has become a housemate. If she can conceive, she can become an aunt."

"Right now, she is living in the same yard with Mrs. Zheng. Maybe she will beg Mrs. Zheng to help her win over the master, but as time goes on, there is no guarantee that she will not have other thoughts, especially after she becomes pregnant..."

"At that time, even if Mrs. Zheng wanted to win her over, she might not be able to win her over. With Mrs. Zheng's temperament, how could she be willing to let her servants pull out her palms? There might be something wrong with the two of them. Sample."

When Cui said these words, she stood aside with her aunt, observing her reaction.

She doesn't think that Cui Shi is so scheming, on the contrary, she is very pleased, and feels that her daughter is getting better.

"Miss is like this, it really makes the maid happy." In fact, when she asked the question just now, she had vaguely guessed Cui Shi's intention, but she still wanted to hear what Cui Shi said with her own ears.

After being praised by her aunt, Cui felt a little embarrassed, pursed her lips and smiled, "If there is anything inappropriate, I have to trouble you to make it up for me."

"Ma'am, don't worry, there is a maid here!" He Gu Gu responded, blessed Cui Shi, and then ordered the servants to prepare dinner.

After leaving the main courtyard, Shen Xu went to Xiao Zheng's place again. He didn't go directly to the house, but went to the small kitchen in the courtyard first, and saw the remaining fresh fruits and vegetables and soaked blood swallows.

After that, he came out of the small kitchen and went into the house.

The doctor just came here, checked Xiao Zheng's pulse, and prescribed a prescription, telling her to rest at ease and not get angry, otherwise, it will affect the baby in her womb.

After entering the house, Shen Xu looked around at everything in the house. He still saw what he had seen these days. He walked towards the inner room and saw a maid coming out.

Seeing Shen Xu, the servant girl was still a little surprised, and hurriedly saluted Shen Xu, "Master."

"Well, where's your aunt?" He still had to eat when he left, and the food was still on the table, but the person was not outside.

"Master, just after you left, my aunt felt unwell. The servant girl hurriedly called for a doctor. The doctor said that my aunt's fetal image was unstable and prescribed medicine. My aunt is resting right now."
