Chapter 195 Provocation

   "Is everything I told you done?" Jiang Luo closed her eyes slightly, wondering if she was exhausted by the fake pregnancy, and there were already a few fine lines in the corners of her eyes.

  Yun Jin took a look and quickly lowered her head: "Madam, don't worry, everything is done."

Jiang Luo nodded in satisfaction, the little maid did not disappoint herself, she watched Gu Xiujing more and more attentively, since Yunjin's side went smoothly, then the next fire should naturally be fueled by herself up.

  Jiang Luo made up her mind and asked Yun Jin to help herself up. After changing into clothes and jewelry, she went to Gu's mother's yard with a plain face.

  When Jiang Luo went, Gu's mother was picking Buddha beans under the altar in the side room.

   Beans were scattered all over the ground, and Gu's mother was kneeling on the futon to pick them up one by one. Ever since Gu Xiujing injured her leg, this has become her daily routine.

  Although the doctor has bluntly said that Xiu Jing's legs will not get better, but as a mother, she must do something to relieve the pain in her heart. Only when she was picking Buddha beans, could she have a moment of peace in her heart.

  Now, no one in the manor knows that Mrs. Shizi and his wife are not dealing with each other. Seeing that Jiang Luo took the initiative to find Gu's mother, he was surprised and felt a little embarrassed at the same time.

  Picking Buddha beans is all about sincerity. Now that I have disturbed Gu's mother by passing through the house, I am afraid that I will not get well.

  The maid guarding the door hesitated, but Jiang Luo couldn't control it, and her mother called out one after another outside the door.

  Her voice is sweet, but there is no expression on her face. Gu's mother was holding a bean on her fingertips, and she was about to put it into the bowl. Jiang Luo's mother's two voices completely set her heart ablaze, and her expression changed.

  Mother Gu threw the buddha beans in her hand into the plate, making a crisp sound of "Dang". Her chest was heaving and unsteady, and she gritted her teeth and cursed inwardly: "Growing up in a small family, there are no rules!"

The little maid was also taken aback by Jiang Luo's actions. She glanced at the closed door timidly with a pale face, and persuaded the Buddha earnestly: "Young madam, the old madam is paying respects to the Buddha. The weather is hot, You are still pregnant with your child, so we will talk about it later if you have anything to say."

  The little girl's eyes were red with anxiety, but Jiang Luo smiled calmly and said: "I'm in a hurry, but I can't delay."

  Her voice was not low, and Gu's mother in the room naturally heard it too. The sun was shining outside, making people flustered. Gu's mother wanted to hold her breath and let Jiang Luo suffer, but she thought about the child in her belly. If there was a bad thing about Gu Xiujing, the world would be turned upside down, so she closed her eyes and suppressed her anger. Pulled the door open.

  Her face was livid, and seeing Jiang Luo's weak and untroubled appearance became even more angry, and she couldn't help but sarcastically said: "If you are not healthy, don't run around, so as not to embarrass others."

  If it was usual, Jiang Luo would definitely say a few words to Gu's mother, but today she didn't say anything to refute, but lowered her head meekly: "Jiang Luo knows his mistake."

  Mother Gu was surprised and puzzled when she saw that she was obedient. Based on her understanding of Jiang Luo, she couldn't help asking subconsciously: "What do you want to do?"

   "Mother, I came today to repair Jing."

  For Xiu Jing? Gu's mother looked at Jiang Luo and groaned, then looked around and turned to let Jiang Luo in: "If you have anything to say, come in and talk."

  Jiang Luo raised the corners of her lips, touched her belly lightly, and followed into the room.

   Gu's mother sat at the top and didn't look at Jiang Luo. Instead, he took a sip of tea and said in a calm tone, "There are no outsiders now, so let's talk about what you have."

  Jiang Luo sat down calmly, pursed her lips as if a little shy: "Xiu Jing's legs are doing well now, and he mentioned to me yesterday that he wants to move back to the garden to live with me..."

   Gu's mother paused holding the cup. She is someone who has been here and naturally understands what Gu Xiujing means. He doesn't want to live with Jiang Luo, it's clear that he doesn't want to drink.

   It is Jiang Luo's skill to bring Xiu Jing to this point.

  Mother Gu's meaningful eyes made Jiang Luo's cheeks flush, and her eyes drifted aside unconsciously, staring at the beans in a daze.

   "Oh? Really, he actually said that." After all, Mother Gu still held her breath. Although she was angry in her heart, she still asked lightly, "Do you think so too?"

  Jiang Luo's heart skipped a beat when she heard Gu's mother's tone, and she looked at Gu's mother with some trepidation.

  Mother Gu just looked at the floor without raising her eyelids.

  Jiang Luo swallowed, and whispered: "Yes, yes, I was very happy after hearing what Xiu Jing said, so I came to beg my mother."

Gu's mother still didn't move, Jiang Luo's eyes flickered and she said tentatively: "I know my mother doesn't like me very much, I...I." Jiang Luo's voice became smaller and smaller, and finally it could only be reduced to one sentence: "But I know that my mother is doing it for the sake of Xiu Jing. I think that I am his married wife after all. It is reasonable for him to want to live with me. So, I want to ask my mother to agree."

  Jiang Luo's voice became lower and lower, until finally only humming remained.

When Gu's mother heard this, she frowned and turned her eyes to Jiang Luo's protected abdomen, turned her head and snorted coldly, and said disdainfully: "You are a husband and wife, so there is nothing wrong with living together. But now Xiujing's leg is still intact. Hey, you are pregnant again. You should think twice before doing anything, and don't lose the big because of small things."

"I don't mean that, mother. I am indeed pregnant, but Xiu Jing...that's why I have the cheek to beg my mother." Jiang Luo was in a dilemma, and wiped the tears on her face, looking quite worried. A delicate beauty.

   After hearing this, Mother Gu felt less disgust in her heart, but she still said with some displeasure: "You are right, after all, he is the husband you Mingmei is marrying. This kind of thing is irresistible."

  Mother Gu's words made Jiang Luo feel relieved, as long as Mother Gu let go, then everything can be negotiated. Jiang Luo wiped away her tears, and continued to put on a pitiful look: "Mother, just promise me."

  Jiang Luo's voice contained a hint of pleading. Gu's mother thought for a moment before she made a decision in her heart: "You are pregnant now, so it is naturally inconvenient to serve you. You just need to live in the garden. Let me tell you about Jing'er."

  Jiang Luo left weeping, but Gu's mother was very annoyed, she was silent for a moment and called the nanny to ask: "Who is the person serving by Xiu Jing's side?"

  The nanny thought for a while: "It seems to be a little girl named Shaoyao."

  Mother Gu was thoughtful after hearing this.

Jiang Luo is pregnant, so I can't teach her to wait on her. Recently, Shaoyao has taken care of her. Mother Gu sent a nanny to look over her. This maid's thoughts are almost all on her face, and others may not be able to see it. It can be seen, but the people on Gu's mother's side can see clearly with a wrong eye.

  When she was about to put it aside, she would definitely reprimand her for wishful thinking, and didn't look at her identity, but at this moment, Mother Gu not only didn't send someone to beat her, she even thought of pushing the leader.

  Shao Yao had just come out of Gu Xiujing's room this day, with a basin in her hand to wipe her face with clean water, she ran into the nanny next to Gu's mother.

  She hurried forward to say hello warmly, "I've seen the nanny."

   I don't know if it's her illusion, but the person who used to raise his jaw to the sky now has a gentle smile on his face when he sees her.

   "Miss Shaoyao just came out of the son's room?"

Mammy asked such a question, but Shaoyao knew she was talking nonsense, but she still answered eagerly with a smile, "Responding to Mammy, the servant has just washed the young master, and I am going to go out to pour water. I don't know if Mammy is coming." But what is there to tell?"

"It's nothing, but I just came here for the old lady to walk around and see the young master. These days, the young master looks good, thanks to you taking care of him, the old lady and the young master are also aware of your care. , I think I won’t treat you badly in the future.”

After listening to the first half of the sentence, Shaoyao thought that the old lady had spied on her mind and sent someone to beat her specially, she subconsciously clenched her hand holding the basin tightly, and then she relaxed when she heard the word "will not treat you badly" tone.

   "Whatever Mammy said, these are what Shaoyao should do."

  Nurse smiled and said nothing, the smile was a bit deep but she didn't point it out directly, she just raised her eyes and looked at the room inside and said: "Not everyone can have such good luck in the job of serving the young master."

  The two chatted casually again, and Mammy found an excuse to leave, letting Shaoyao go about her own business.

  Shao Yao walked outside with the basin in her hand, the more she thought about it, the more excited she became, trying to figure out what it meant. Originally, if the mistress of each house is pregnant, it is the opportunity for the concubine to come out. Although Gu Xiujing and Jiang Luo have just married, but now he is taking care of it all by himself, and Jiang Luo is inconvenient. The old lady This meant saving and pushing her.

Originally, she was restrained and did not dare to make any big moves for fear of being discovered and betrayed. Now that she has the confidence and support in her heart, Shao Yao no longer avoids people, not to mention paying attention to dressing, and even There is also a faint sense of taking himself as the master.

  Going out to do errands and coming back, I saw other maids approaching Gu Xiujing's body to wait for the scrub, and even ran to the maid's room to make a big fuss and lost her temper.

  Shaoyao knew in her heart that the old lady was willing to carry her only because Jiang Luo couldn't take care of her at the moment, and she was always taking care of Gu Xiujing. If it wasn't for her, it would be the same for someone else.

   This matter can't be delayed any longer, she has to get Gu Xiujing down quickly.

In the evening, after she finished wiping Gu Xiujing's body, she somehow turned the basin upside down and splashed her clothes wet. It was a hot day, and her clothes were light and thin. The light blue top was soaked in water, revealing the carmine bellyband inside, even the embroidered clothes on it. The cross-necked mandarin ducks can also be seen clearly.

  Gu Xiujing is not an innocent boy, he can clearly see the admiration in Shaoyao's eyes, and now he looks like this again, his brows are tightly wrinkled.

   "What are you doing?"

  Shao Yao lowered her head shyly, and whispered: "Young Master, today is a good day for Shao Yao, Shao Yao wants to serve you, and serve you well."

  Gu Xiujing's frown deepened, he is not a fool, how could he not understand that Shaoyao wanted to use this matter to climb up on him.

  He really didn't expect that a woman who has always been docile and well-behaved would recommend herself as a pillow regardless of etiquette, and he was stunned for a moment.

   "Young Master."

   "No need."

  Gu Xiujing refused without even thinking about it, thinking about driving Shaoyao out of the yard, and if she was allowed to go on like this, disaster would happen in the future.

  Shao Yao's face turned pale when she heard this, and the disgust in Gu Xiujing's eyes made her feel ashamed. She bit her lips and said nothing, but silently exited the room, closing the door before leaving, as if she was afraid that Gu Xiujing would drive her out of the house directly.

  After Shaoyao left, Gu Xiujing felt depressed, lying on the bed tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.

  Shaoyao is usually safe, not so bold. Suddenly, who gave her the signal to throw her face and put all her eggs in one basket?

   Shaoyao left Gu Xiujing's yard in a panic, she walked quickly, her heart beating rapidly. After walking a few steps, he became more and more self-defeating, tearing off the silk flower on his head and throwing it on the ground as if to vent his anger.

   "Miss Shaoyao, what are you doing?" Seeing that Shaoyao was frustrated by Gu Xiujing, she felt like retreating. Yun Jin twisted her waist and came out from behind the rockery, she couldn't help but secretly sighed that she came at just the right time.

  Hearing someone calling her, Shaoyao's anger froze on her face, she turned her head and gave a forced smile: "Sister Yunjin."

Yun Jin walked over with a smile, the corner of her eyes glanced at her soaked blouse and skirt, and then glanced at the silk flower on the ground that she had raped, the corners of her mouth curled up: "What's the matter? Which one doesn't grow long?" Eyes offended you."

   "I'm fine."

  Yun Jin looked at her with a smile that was not a smile, Shao Yao had a ghost in her heart, she didn't dare to look at her, and she didn't want to be seen, so she simply turned her head and looked away.

"You and I are in the Gu mansion together, and we are both serving the master. We should help each other, so what can't we say? We have served the son together for so long, so I know who you are." Yun Jin changed the subject: " The son has a good temper and good looks, even though he hurt his leg, he is still a hundred times stronger than the men outside. You and him face each other every day, and it is reasonable to have a spring heart. But you are embarrassing the son by doing this."

  Yun Jin's words were euphemistic, but Shaoyao couldn't help but thump in her heart after hearing this, and couldn't help but think of what she had done just now, feeling a little guilty.

  "Sister Yunjin, that matter is not what you imagined, I'm just" Shao Yao hesitated to speak.

   "Just what? Could it be that I was wrong, you don't like Shizi?"

   Shao Yao was annoyed at being pierced. But due to Yun Jin's status, she dare not make any mistakes. He could only hold back his resentment and bowed his head in silence.

  Her reaction fell into Yunjin's eyes, and she was more certain in her heart.

She said seemingly unintentionally: "Don't blame the son for being unfeeling, the young lady is pregnant now. The child in her womb is the only thought and hope of the prince, so naturally she has no intention of anything else. Moreover, the young lady is weak and the fetus is unstable. If there is a little trouble to disturb the child, maybe... hey..." Yun Jin sighed deeply: "The old lady has been resenting the young lady because of the son's leg injury. If there is another mistake between the young lady and the child this time, she really won't be able to stay in the Gu residence. Living…"

   After finishing speaking, Yunjin patted Shaoyao's hand affectionately and said regretfully, "As long as Madam is here, there will be no one else in Shizi's eyes. Sister, you are not born at the right time, just forget about Shizi."
