Chapter Thirteen Swearing Not to Harm the Innocents
Xue Rou'er and the old lady are grandparents after all. She ran into the front hall anxiously and saw Xue Li and Madam Ninth there, as well as several maids waiting on them.
Everyone was staring at their master and servant. Time in the hall seemed to have stopped, and the silence was terrifying.
"Ghost--" Madam Ninth screamed first and then rolled her eyes and fainted.
Xue Li said in a trembling voice: "Are you humans or ghosts?"
When Xue Rou'er heard this, she understood immediately that all this was done for them. Someone must have been to the ruins of the bamboo forest, but Xue Li actually concluded that they were dead without even checking.
Xue Rou'er took a deep breath and bowed: "Rou'er saw daddy, how can there be ghosts in this clear sky? Is Jiu Yiniang afraid that she has done too many evil things and is possessed by a demon?"
Xue Li ignored the sarcasm in Xue Rou'er's words and asked, "You weren't burned to death?"
Xue Rou'er's expression darkened, and she said with tears in her eyes: "It was the Jade slave who desperately tried to pull us mother and daughter out of the fire scene. Later, we recuperated deep in the bamboo forest and could only eat raw bamboo shoots every day to survive.
Because my mother was sick, my daughter didn't dare to take her out, so she could only stay there day and night hoping that my father would show up. But now that my mother has recovered from her illness, my father still hasn't thought of us, so my daughter had to come out to see her father by herself.
If the father doesn't want to see his daughter, then the daughter can go back."
Xue Rou'er was already weak, but her beautiful face made her cry so hard that it actually made Xue Li feel a hint of fatherly love. He sighed: "It's dad's fault. He was negligent. Someone comes and cleans up the Jinxiu Pavilion and gives it to the eldest lady.
Live with the eldest lady."
Mrs. Ninth didn't know whether she was really fainting or fake. Now she sat up from her chair and said, "Jinxiu Pavilion is reserved for me to raise my fetus, how can I let them live in it?"
Xue Li asked: "Is there any movement in your stomach?"
Madam Ninth said: "Master, I originally wanted to give you a surprise, but they came before it was too late. The doctor came to see me this morning and said that I am already one month pregnant."
"Really?" Xue Li stood up in surprise and complained: "Why didn't you tell me earlier? You were frightened just now. You are in good health. Quickly, call the doctor."
Xue Rouer bit her teeth with hatred, Jinxiu Pavilion was the place where the old lady lived before. Although it was not luxurious, the flowers and plants inside were excellent for physical recuperation and it was suitable for my mother to live there.
Suddenly, she rolled her eyes and said: "Since Jiu Yiniang likes it, then naturally her daughter cannot take away others' favor. I heard that my grandmother lived in Jinxiu Pavilion, and she gave birth to my little aunt there. Now that I think about it, it's really a good idea.
A great place to have a baby.”
Madam Ninth was secretly proud and thought to herself: "You dare to compete with me, little hoof, but you are still young."
But Xue Rou'er added: "There are hundreds of flowers blooming there, and the wind carries the fragrance of flowers, so it is named Jinxiu Pavilion, right? If Jiu Yiniang lives here to have a baby, the children she will give birth to in the future will be as delicate and beautiful as flowers."
The words that sounded like flattery became taboo in Madam Ninth's ears. Who wants to have a son as beautiful as a flower? Only a daughter would like the child to grow like a flower. Just now Xue Rou'er said where the old lady gave birth.
Sister-in-law, doesn’t that mean that people who live there can only have daughters? Besides, that sister-in-law was so unlucky that she died before she was even a hundred days old. She really shouldn’t have said she wanted to live there.
Mrs. Ninth felt like she had swallowed a fly. She couldn't spit it out but was terribly nauseated. She pursed her lips and said, "Master, the eldest sister is weak. How can I, a younger sister, compete with her? It's better to let the eldest sister live."
go in."
Xue Li was completely immersed in joy at the moment. He had no intention of distinguishing between the two people. He immediately said: "Jiu Feng is the most virtuous. I feel much more at ease with you and Er Yatou in charge."
Just as he was talking, the doctor was called, and Xue Li quickly asked the doctor to diagnose Mrs. Ninth's pulse.
After a while, the doctor smiled and said: "Congratulations, Mr. Xue, Mrs. Ninth is one month pregnant and her pulse is strong. It may be a boy."
Xue Li laughed and said: "Okay, great, great reward."
The doctor thanked him happily. The reward from Xue Mansion was only ten taels of silver.
Xue Rou'er saw that they had no time to take care of her, so she saluted and said: "My daughter is here to congratulate her father and Jiu Yiniang. My daughter will not disturb me and leave."
"Go, go. If you need anything, just ask the housekeeper." Xue Li waved his hand without even looking at them.
Xue Rou'er took Yu Nu back to the bamboo forest, and Yu Nu said angrily: "What a Jiu Feng, Yi Nu looks like a vixen with nine tails. She has done so many destructive things, I am afraid that the child will not be born."
"Forget it, the child is not guilty. For the sake of the child, I will let her go first and wait until she gives birth to the child." Xue Rou'er was also upset, but she was not vicious enough to kill innocent lives.
Yunu knew that Xue Rouer had a kind heart, so he said nothing more.
Back in the bamboo forest, the eldest lady was looking around eagerly, relieved to see that they were back intact.
"Mom, why don't you rest in the room?" Xue Rou'er walked a few steps quickly to support the eldest lady.
The eldest lady said: "I am waiting anxiously, fearing that the master will embarrass you."
Yu Nu said quickly: "It's a pity that I didn't scare the nine-tailed fox to death. If I scared it to death, I wouldn't have children."
The eldest lady asked in confusion: "What nine-tailed fox?"
Xue Rou'er said calmly: "Mom, Jiu Yiniang is pregnant."
Sadness appeared on the eldest lady's face. After a moment, she grabbed Xue Rou'er's hand again and said: "Rou'er, mother knows that you survived the disaster and became smarter, but after all, it is your father's flesh and blood, you must not hurt him.
!”
Xue Rou'er was heartbroken by the kindness of the eldest lady and said with a smile: "Mom, don't worry, my daughter swears that she will never do anything harmful to nature."
The eldest lady breathed a sigh of relief and said, "You...can your father tell us where to live?" She asked without any confidence.
Xue Rou'er smiled and said: "Mom, dad has given Jinxiu Pavilion to us. Let's go, we will go there right away."
The eldest lady said happily: "Master still has friendship." She had just recovered from a serious illness, and a blush appeared on her pale face, which made her more charming.
Three people and one cat walked into Jinxiu Pavilion. There was nothing to take care of here. There was even a small kitchen that was not found in other courtyards. It was probably thanks to the old lady.
The breeze blew by, and the fragrance of flowers refreshed the lungs, making people feel extremely comfortable. Xue Rou'er smiled and said: "I am finally stable, and I live like a lady."
Yunu smiled and said: "Miss, do you want to call some more girls?"
Xue Rou'er shook her head and said: "No, those people can't tell who's the spy, so how can the three of us live in comfort? Don't worry, I will help you with the daily housework and won't tire you out."
Yunu smiled and said: "I'm not afraid of being tired. I'm afraid that I'm too busy and miss the orders of the eldest lady and the eldest lady."
Xue Rouer smiled and said: "Can you give me any instructions? We have no hands or feet?"
While they were talking and laughing, there was a noise outside the yard. Yunu looked at the door, turned around and said, "It's the third lady, the fourth lady, the fifth lady is here."
