Chapter 24 Qing Lan
Seeing that everyone else in the room had left, Qinglan couldn't help but feel a little nervous. As soon as she got close to Sun, she pulled her hand closer and dragged her to her side, and rubbed her lower abdomen with the other hand.Qinglan was terrified, she had also heard earlier that some out-of-the-ordinary women in the world did not like men, but she did not expect her wife to be like this.Immediately she calmed down again and wanted to break free from Mrs. Sun's grasp, but she was no match for Mrs. Sun's strength.

"Madam let go, Madam let the slave family go..."

After rubbing for a while, Mrs. Sun looked at the angry Qing Lan lightly, "Let you go? Tell me about the child in your stomach?"

Qinglan was startled, gritted her teeth and said: "The slave family doesn't understand what Madam means, if the madam doesn't like the slave family, the slave family will only stay in this courtyard in the future, why bother to make up such an excuse to humiliate me."

"I don't have that leisure time." Sun let go of her hand and stared at her stubborn face, "In the countryside, besides killing pigs, I also treated pigs for minor illnesses. The first day I saw you, I felt something was wrong. The one on the bed is Shixiang, how could you be pregnant? I thought it was that bastard who was climbed into the bed by other people and didn't know it. Now that you have conceived, I'm afraid that the child is not the master's? "

Qinglan's face turned pale slightly, but she still insisted: "I don't know what Madam is talking about."

"Looking at the month, it should be conceived by you after you arrived in Cheng's mansion, and it belonged to someone in the mansion?"

Qinglan remained silent, Sun smiled indifferently, and took a sip of tea pretending to be the wife of everyone, and said: "You are still a young lady, I don't know how to learn the rules, you are not even as good as a country girl. Do you think It’s fine if you don’t admit it, as long as you ask a doctor to come over and feel the pulse, you will know immediately whether you have conceived or not.”

Knowing that she couldn't hide it, and that Mrs. Sun didn't look like she wanted to ask the teacher for a crime, Qing Lan quickly knelt down and said, "Madam, please spare me."

"Forgive me, let's hear what's going on first."

It's really Qinglan's bad luck, the four of them entered Cheng's mansion, and Cheng Dashan raised them in the farthest courtyard, he never came here but couldn't bear the curiosity of a group of friends who were close to him.Sometimes every few days, Cheng Dashan would ask someone to take them out to let his friends see what the beauties bestowed by the emperor looked like.Qing Lan and the others were quite impatient, even Shi Xiang didn't like being called around to pour wine for these rough men.

That day they went back after serving the banquet, and when they reached the gate of the courtyard, she found that a pearl in her hairpin was missing.In the past, she would have ignored it, but because Shixiang lost her temper in the house, she avoided the garden under the pretext of looking for beads.Never thought that the bead was not found, but a drunken man dragged it into the flowers.There were not many servants in the Cheng family and they were all waiting in the front yard at that time, so how could they know that something happened to her.Her mouth was covered and she couldn't match the man's strength, so she was bullied by him. She didn't dare to be discovered, so she tidied up and went back to the house.At that time, Shixiang had already fallen asleep, and no one noticed what was wrong with her. She only thought it was a nightmare, and she didn't know what was wrong until her monthly letter didn't arrive a month later.

It happened that Shixiang was going to kneel for punishment, her knees were swollen, and she had been ill for a while. She found a traveling doctor and secretly bought abortion medicine under the pretext of wanting to buy medicine for Shixiang.After a few doses of medicine, she waited until she was bleeding to feel relieved, and her heart was once again desolate.Now that this matter is brought up again in front of Mrs. Sun, she is even more deeply saddened.

"Do you know who that person is?" Sun asked with a frown.

"I don't know." Qing Lan cried and shook her head.

"Don't you have any features on your body?"

At that time when she was resisting, she had touched the opponent's body, Qing Lan thought about it carefully and said: "There is a very long scar on the abdomen."

But we can't let everyone take off their clothes for inspection, and who would listen to what she said as the daughter of a prisoner.

"I know about this, what are your plans for the future?"

"What do you mean madam?"

"Although you were bestowed by the emperor, I asked the steward that you are not even concubines. I can't deal with it casually, but I can arrange it properly. If you have a place to take you, just tell me, and I will let you go." You go out of the mansion. If not, you can stay in the mansion, but only every two or two months..." Although she could afford to go out, she was very distressed, Sun said with effort and generosity.

"Madam Xie is kind, I really have no place to go to my house, please don't drive me away." Qing Lan knelt down and couldn't get up.

Mrs. Sun saw that she really didn't want to leave, but she really felt sorry for Yue Li. After thinking about it, she came up with an idea: "You should take good care of yourself. The three young ladies in the family are now learning the rules of female workers from the new mother Wang. I originally wanted to hire another gentleman to teach them how to read and write butlers, but now I don’t need to go elsewhere to hire them, you are a good candidate. You are the lady of everyone, and you will know everything you need to learn.”

"Thank you, Madam, for your compliment." She thanked her sincerely.

Since entering Cheng's mansion, Qinglan did not have the desire to be a concubine like Shixiang. They are all official slaves, so what if they become concubines.Even if Cheng Dashan's original partner was from the countryside, he had to see if he was good or not. Wouldn't it be troublesome for him to show up early at this time?She mentioned something to Shixiang and she didn't listen, so she didn't say anything more.After being bullied, she lost her desire to fight for favor, but she couldn't muster up the courage to ask her to commit suicide.Now Mrs. Sun's proposal can be said to have given her the best way out. She remembered that there were some aunts around her mother who were self-sufficient and unmarried, and they could speak well in the mansion. She could also learn from them.

The more Mrs. Sun thought about it, the more she felt that this idea was very good. She could find something to do for them and save a lot of expenses. She didn't know her salary until after Madam Wang came, and she asked for ten taels of silver. Food, lodging and four-season clothes are also included for a month, so it costs 120 taels of silver a year, which is not so much even to send boys to school.

She naturally didn't know that such an upbringing mother had a good background first of all, and Wang mother was a widow who refused to remarry after marriage, and she had a reputation for being chaste and quiet; in fact, she was well educated.Generally, nuns will stay in a family for at least a year, and they will also hear about some private affairs in the mansion. If the price is low, they may harbor resentment and publicize the affairs of the mansion.Moreover, this salary was given a discount for Mrs. Yan's face, otherwise, with the wealth of Cheng's family, she would have to teach three young ladies, even if it was 20 taels a month, Nanny Wang would not want to come.

Since she Wang Momo received such a high salary and seemed to be a person who understood the affairs of a wealthy family, Sun took advantage of her break to ask if it was appropriate to ask Qinglan to teach the three sisters.Nanny Wang has always stayed in a wealthy family and knows a thing or two about the various secrets inside. In her opinion, this matter is very inappropriate. What if Qing Lan takes the opportunity of teaching the young lady to approach the master.It's just that she is not familiar with Mrs. Sun, even if their family members know about this kind of thing, they can't say it clearly.

After pondering for a while, she replied: "If Madam is at ease, such an arrangement is also possible."

"That's fine, then I'll make arrangements. Don't disturb Wang Momo's rest." After waiting for a long time, Mrs. Sun finally got an accurate word, and left happily.

Wang Momo's expression moved, it seemed that the meaning of her words was beyond the comprehension of this wife from the countryside.

Although Wang Momo didn't make it clear, the executives still spoke out the hidden dangers after listening to Sun's proposal.

"If that's the case, Miss Qinglan will walk around the front yard, and maybe meet the master in the future."

Only then did Sun remember this matter, hesitated for a moment, she waved her hand and said: "There is only a thousand days to be a thief, there is no reason for a thousand days to guard against a thief. Let's arrange it like this, anyway, the master is not in the house now anyway."

"Yes."
