Chapter 129 Probing
The bookshelves were placed against the wall, and they were full of books. Yu Zhu gently pulled out a book, touched it with his hand, and couldn't help but praise: "Look at how clean it is here, you did a good job. [26nbsp;]"
Zhuxiang replied cautiously: "This is what a slave should do, and I don't deserve the compliments from my wife."
Yu Zhu smiled and flipped through the book he took out casually. Well, it seemed to be a strategy book. It looked a little old after being flipped through a lot. Occasionally, a few pages were folded. Yu Zhu was curious about what he valued.
Is it a conspiracy or a conspiracy? Just calm down the page you want to read——
"Madam." Zhuxiang suddenly spoke, then lowered his head in fear, and said in a low voice: "These are the details that Second Master attaches great importance to. If they are touched, Second Master will not be able to find them."
Yuzhu immediately had the urge to look up to the sky and scream. In this situation, she felt how much she looked like a vicious heroine. The heroine was a gentle and pure pretty maid, the hero was a tall and powerful Master X, and she
She is a fat, ugly and cruel concubine who is despised by the male protagonist and can only pervert her life to torment a humble maid...
It had been a long time since she had felt so full of confidence in her heart. Yu Zhu slowly calmed down her turbulent mood, feeling that her life would not be boring in the few remaining filial piety period for this girl.
"Do you clean such a big study by yourself?" After gathering his emotions, Yu Zhu put the book back and found a chair to sit down.
"Yes, I still know a few words, and I can help the second master tidy up the study." Finally, as if he was afraid that Yu Zhu would send someone else, he added: "Fortunately, the work is not much, and it can be done in half a day.
"
Yu Zhu smiled brightly and innocently, "Oh, look, I forgot. Mother Zhou told me that you are not a maid in the house, how can you be a slave?"
Zhuxiang said sadly: "I have a humble life. It is my blessing that the second master can protect me for the sake of my brother. I have no repayment and can only do some work. Every point I can repay is a point."
"That's it, then you are really thoughtful." Yu Zhu nodded in approval, then frowned his delicate eyebrows, "The yard used to be chaotic, but now when I enter the house, everything must have a rule. Did you have a monthly payment in the past?
?" Yu Zhu seemed a little impatient as he seemed troubled by these complicated questions.
A trace of envy flashed across Zhuxiang's eyes, and she lowered her head and said timidly: "No, no."
Yu Zhu showed some compassion at the right time and said softly: "If you don't have money, what do you do?"
"The second master helped me sell my belongings when I came into the house, so I have enough money."
"This is really unreasonable." Yu Zhu slammed the table and said angrily: "Since you have done something, how can you not give me a monthly salary? I will go find my sister-in-law."
Mother Ruan was clear-sighted and hurriedly said: "Madam, you can make the decision on this. There is no need to trouble the eldest lady."
"Oh, yes." Yu Zhu laughed again and said to Ruan's mother: "Mom, help me remember that when I give out the monthly routine from this month on, don't forget to give a copy to Miss Zhuxiang."
Yao's mother was happy, "Why have you forgotten, Madam, it's not that fast to become a maid? The maids in families like ours are all born in the family. They have been trained since childhood, and their status and deeds are all in order... Only like
When our master was away on vacation, the journey was too far and it was too troublesome to take people there, so he bought some things locally to do rough work, and even the master's body was not close."
Yu Zhu snorted twice and muttered: "Isn't she just a maid? There are so many opinions." Seeing Zhou's mother's eyes suddenly light up, she smiled and said: "Leave it to Zhou's mother, you are the old mother in the family.
Yes, you must know what to do.”
Mother Zhou was dumbfounded. She was a good old mother, but the master didn’t even give any instructions on how to do this. Who knew what to do to satisfy the master...
He quickly opened his mouth to ask: "Madam, this..."
"Don't worry, don't worry, just do it, I'll support you, just don't wrong others." Yu Zhu interrupted her impatiently, and then happily ran to Duobao Pavilion to take a look, and took a wooden carving.
Little Taozi ignored everyone.
Seeing her master's childish look, Mother Zhou could only sigh helplessly, thinking that she had to go to the old lady for help...
"Zhuxiang, does this belong to the second master?" Yuzhu couldn't put it down while holding the peach. After thinking about it, he told Qinsi: "Go and bring Xiaoxun over." Bodhisattva forgave her for wanting to play tricks on the pig again.
Qin Si laughed. Because she was the most attentive and gentle person, and also liked small pets, the task of taking care of Xiaoxun was naturally handed over to her. Now she has taken a dim view of her master teasing the little pig, and it doesn't matter.
Zhuxiang looked nervously at the wooden peach that Yuzhu was turning over and over, "Yes, this was carved by the second master himself." After that, she looked at Duobao Pavilion, with an unusual emotion in her voice:
"Everything on this was carved by the second master himself."
Yu Zhu looked at the exquisite and lovely peach in his hand in surprise. It was amazing. He didn't expect Cheng Xunxun to have such an ability. In modern times, it is definitely a master level.
"It's so beautiful, but I prefer grapes to peaches. I'll ask my husband to carve one tomorrow." Yu Zhu saw that after a while, Qinsi had already come in with the pig in his arms, and couldn't help showing an excited smile.
Xiaoxun became even more excited when he saw Yuzhu, struggling and about to jump down. Qinsi was afraid that its trotters would get soiled and rub against Yuzhu, so she hurriedly took two steps and carefully placed it on Yuzhu's knees.
"Hmph -" I don't know what happened. This pig has been bullied by Yu Zhu many times, but Yu Zhu is the one he likes the most. He is indeed a pig with an M personality. I just don't know what the fourth prince who chose him will do.
——This is a question that Yu Zhu has seriously considered countless times.
Peaches are also the pig's favorite fruit. They are usually not available in this season. When he first saw them, Xiao Xun's black bean eyes lit up instantly, and Yu Zhu could even see the twinkling light of happiness inside.
While teasing the pig with the peach, he carefully looked at Zhuxiang's face. Inadvertently, his hand sank. When he lowered his head, he saw that Xiaoxun had bitten the wooden peach...
Yu Zhu hurriedly stopped the peach from grinding its teeth and picked it up. Anyone who was not blind could see the obvious tooth marks on the peach. He wiped the peach clean with a handkerchief, and Yu Zhu began to think of reasons for his confession at night.
"Eh-" Suddenly he felt a cold gaze. It seemed that Yuzhu's five senses were more sensitive than ordinary people. He immediately raised his head and looked around, but found nothing unusual.
I secretly made a note of it in my mind, and didn't want to waste any more time, so I grabbed Xiaoxun's little fan-like pig ears and picked it up awkwardly: "It's all your fault, foodie."
Qin Si stepped forward to take over Zhu, who still had a soft spot for the peach. Yu Zhu went to the bookshelf and pulled out two books, then led a group of people back to the room.
…
"That's why you came to me." Ms. Xie was watering a pot of extremely lush clivia. When she heard Zhou's mother complaining, she paused and continued watering.
Zhou’s mother was anxious. This girl Zhuxiang has been living in the house for three years. Who knows what Erye Xiao’s plan is for her after she is born? She might just keep her in the room. Moreover, she didn’t sign the deed of sale, and she belongs to an innocent family outside.
Daughter, it’s okay to be a concubine after giving birth to a child...
Wait, concubine? Mother Zhou’s eyes widened. Could this be what the second wife meant? But, but, it’s not like that. The second wife looked like she didn’t know the world, and she was so impatient to get rid of herself just now.
, no matter how you look at it, you don’t look like a scheming person.
Ms. Xie gently put down the kettle in her hand, took the handkerchief from Yang's mother, wiped her hands, and stretched her muscles, "What will you do if I don't give you any orders?"
After all, Zhou’s mother has been living in the house for half her life, and she is not confused. She hesitated and replied: “Ask Zhuxiang what she wants, if she wants to stay in the house, then change her name and sign the deed.
If she doesn't want to... then, it's easy to handle." Easy to handle means that when she becomes a filial piety, it doesn't matter whether she is married off or sent to Zhuangzi.
"Just do it like this. Don't worry about anything else. Just prepare the physical contract. If nothing happens, it will be a living contract." Xie ordered without even frowning.
"What if the second master asks? After all, she is a daughter of a good family." Zhou's mother responded, but after thinking about it, she couldn't help but ask.
Xie's voice suddenly had a hint of sadness, and she said calmly: "What else can I say, just say it was my order. I don't have much to say about the filial piety, but being filial is not good for the girl's reputation, and she doesn't have the filial piety either."
No matter how many days are left, he must plan for his future. Besides, his wife has already entered the house and all the rules and so on have to be taken care of. It’s time for him to let go of that matter. Shouldn’t he have to remember it for the rest of his life?”
Mother Zhou didn't dare to say anything, so she hurried down to do it.
Yang's mother beat Mr. Xie's shoulders distressedly. After Zhou's mother got down, she said: "I'm using you as a weapon. No matter what, the second wife is right, why should you follow them..."
"What are you afraid of? I'm willing to do it. I just need help." Ms. Xie was in a rare good mood. "I knew that girl was smart. She must be smart so she won't be bullied and can live well."
"I'm afraid the second wife's dowry mothers are more powerful, I think. They all look like they are not easy to mess with. I'm afraid they were specially trained to prevent the second wife from being careless." Yang's mother had an initial impression of Yu Zhu's petite appearance.
Very deep.
"Look, I've seen my wife, how could she teach her only daughter-in-law to be so ignorant of the world? I never thought that my little daughter-in-law was useless." Mrs. Xie showed a shallow smile and said
However, he disappeared without a trace in a moment, "By the way, how is the pregnant woman in Yi Ge's house?" Even though the Gong family is now in charge, the Xie family is still secretly controlling everything in the house.
Yang's mother sent someone to pay attention to her every day. After hearing this, she immediately replied: "Don't worry, old lady, everything is fine. I sent two mothers to take care of her secretly. Xiao Chen... Auntie knows some medical knowledge and is a good person."
She is cautious and stays in her own yard on weekdays and never goes out. All her jewelery and jewelry are packed at the bottom of the box. She is extremely careful when eating food and clothing. With the secret help of the eldest wife, the eldest mistress has been dodged by her several times.
go."
"Then will I be able to hold my great-grandson?" Ms. Xie smiled helplessly, "Go and call the eldest mistress over, and I will have a good talk with her. What's the point of always having a hard time with my step-brother like this? It's okay.
It makes others easier."
"The old lady is kind, the eldest young lady must be able to understand it." Mother Yang smiled and blessed her, and left. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to subscribe, give rewards, and support it.
