Chapter One Hundred and Twenty I Love You(1/2)
When Rong Jingji heard that her mother had not had dinner, she personally brought some food to her. She heard her mother's almost crazy hatred voice from inside through the window, and her brows frowned.
In her opinion, it is not a bad thing to give her younger brother Rong Lu the raising of her legitimate mother. It is also nice to talk about it. After all, she is raised by her legitimate mother, which is much more decent than the words of a little girl.
She knew that her mother could not let go of such a thing. If she really thought about her children so much, she shouldn’t have been a concubine at the beginning. With the fact that her grandmother Rong Fu was her mother’s aunt, she could have married better back then. Wouldn’t it be a dignified wife?
Thinking of this, she did not want to go in to persuade her, but said to the maid behind her, "Let's go."
Seeing her girl turn around and leave, the maid who was serving her hurriedly followed her, she couldn't help but look at the house where Aunt Fu lives, and she was crazy. No wonder the Marquis doesn't spoil her now.
After Rong Jingji returned, she felt something was wrong no matter what she thought. What was her mother going to do? She couldn't help but feel a little scared. She really didn't want to have another incident. She waved to let the trusted maid come forward. She whispered a few words. The maid nodded, and she felt a little relieved.
After walking around the room for a few times, she still took the light and went to the east cross-yard on the main room.
Rong Jingqiu hasn't fallen asleep yet. She has the problem of reading books at night with a lamp. Although the wet nurse Lin An felt that she was tired of her eyes and said it a few times, she didn't really want to change it even if she went in and out of her right ear. In the end, Lin An compromised and often urged the wick to make the fire bigger at night.
Zhu'er lifted the curtain and came in, "Girl, Miss Six is here."
Rong Jingji?
What did she do?
Not only Rong Jingqiu had questions, but the other maids also looked at each other. After all, Rong Jin and Aunt Fu had an unhappy quarrel today. Could this sixth girl be here to find the place?
Hongshang and Lu Xiu looked at each other and moved directly towards Rong Jingqiu. If the Sixth Girl was about to attack, they could also push each other.
When Rong Jingqiu saw it, she was immediately amazed and laughed, "Don't be so nervous, she is not a beast." She put down the book and said to Zhu'er, "Please come in."
Zhu'er was blessed and then went out to ask someone.
This is the first time Rong Jingji has been here in the East Cross Courtyard, located behind the main house. Rong Jingqiu had posted a post to the sisters in the mansion to invite them to the greenhouse, but she did not come. She knew that her mother would be unhappy when she saw her, so there was no need to make it unhappy for her sister.
The most important thing for a person is to have self-knowledge.
She looked at the clusters of scenery that could still be seen in the night, and she couldn't help but find a god. It was not until the maid behind her that she came to her senses after calling out a few times.
Seeing the maid who had previously reported standing in front of her, she slightly tidied up her clothes, coughed lightly, and then followed her into the room.
The light in the room was very abundant. As soon as she came in, she smelled a scent of Ning Shenxiang, and then she saw Rong Jingqiu sitting on the bed of the Arhat, and several big maids sat on the pedal. This scene made her stunned.
"What are you doing when you are stunned? Come here and sit down, and I won't get up to greet you."
Hearing this kind of gentle voice, she smiled, then walked over and sat opposite Rong Jingqiu, sat in a tight skirt, straightened her spine, and a little restrained in her indifferent expression.
When Rong Jingqiu saw Mei'er bringing tea, she personally brought the tea to her, "Don't be nervous, I don't know how to eat people."
"The third sister was joking." Rong Jingji also smiled.
"I haven't thanked you for sending me herbs last time."
"It's just a plea to others, so why bother? Don't worry about the third sister."
After chatting for a few words indifferently, Rong Jingqiu felt that this was really awkward conversation. Rong Jingji seemed not a good person to talk to, or she had nothing to say to her.
Rong Jingji herself felt a little embarrassed. Thinking of her younger brother Rong Lu, she suddenly stood up and bowed to Rong Jingqiu and bowed her knees.
"Sister Six, what is this?" Rong Jingqiu hurriedly stood up and helped her.
Rong Jingji did not get up and looked up directly and said, "Third sister, Brother Lu is a good child. From now on, he will be raised under his mother's knees. I would like to ask the third sister to give him more advice. He is either a elm-headed person or sometimes he is shy. He is not a person who refuses to change his mind after repeated teachings. Please ask the third sister to take care of him more."
Rong Jingqiu immediately knew that she was coming for her younger brother Rong Lu.
"Get up quickly, let's talk carefully if you have something to do. There is no need to give this big gift. Brother Lu is a good child, so naturally no one will make things difficult for him." She helped Rong Jingji up with force, "The main room is not a tiger's den. You don't have to worry too much. It won't happen to make things difficult for a child. I can assure you."
Rong Jinshi is not a vicious legitimate mother. At most, she just ignores it and will not deliberately suppress and torture a child. She is a human being for two lifetimes, and she is still confident in her own mother's integrity.
If I really had a dilemma, I would have taken action long ago and would not have waited until now.
Rong Jingji said, "Don't misunderstand the third sister. It's not that my mother is afraid that her younger brother will make things difficult for her, but... it's that I am a sister who is worried. He has never left my aunt since childhood and has been raised by her aunt to be timid. Now he has changed to a strange place. I'm afraid that he can't adapt," he paused, and a wry smile appeared on his face, "Mom is afraid that she doesn't want to see me now."
Otherwise, she would go to the main room to take care of Rong Lu for a while to let him adapt to the new environment, but she knew that Rong Jinshi would not allow it.
Rong Jingqiu patted her hand, "Don't worry, I will do my best wherever I can. Is this OK?"
Rong Jingji nodded then, then the smile that had just risen on her face calmed down, and her expression became a little serious, "Also, it's my aunt..." She still had a hard time talking to outsiders about her own bad words.
Rong Jingqiu frowned slightly, and had some guesses about what Rong Jingji was going to say next.
"You must be careful of her. You will also take a few more guards in the mansion when you go out. I'm afraid she will take a different approach and do something... that hurts you..."
No matter how difficult it was, she finished speaking. Only then did she feel a huge rock on her chest had been removed and she felt relaxed.
"Thank you for your reminder, Sister Six." Rong Jingqiu said this sincerely. If it were her, she might not be willing to tell others that her own mother is not.
"Sister Three is you polite again, right?" Rong Jingji smiled happily this time, "I have been hesitating whether to say that no matter how bad she is... she is also the one who gave birth to me and raised my mother, but the right and wrong in this world are fair, and I cannot destroy my conscience."
This is her persistence in being a human being. Although she has a status of illegitimate birth that everyone looks down upon, she still has to be a dignified person.
These words moved Rong Jingqiu.
She personally sent Rong Jingji out, watched her disappear before the night, turned around and waved at her, signaling her not to send her back when she went back.
She still stood there and watched her leave until her figure disappeared. Then she closed the yard gate and turned back to the house.
"Girl, I've changed my mind about the Sixth Girl now." Lin An sighed, "At least better than the Fourth Girl, but unfortunately I was born in my aunt's belly."
Rong Jingqiu didn't say anything. He couldn't choose a person's background. What he could choose was what kind of life he would live in the future.
When she got up the next morning, she cleaned up and went to the main room to have breakfast.
Rong Jinshi had just gone to serve her mother-in-law Rong Fu and came back with breakfast. She was visiting someone to see how Rong Lu was in. If it wasn't big, she would send someone to the clan school to ask for leave today. When she saw her eldest daughter coming, she waved, "Why did you come here so early? Didn't you sleep well?"
"That's not." Rong Jingqiu smiled, not seeing Rong Lu present, so she whispered in a low voice, "Isn't it just that you have someone here? I'm not relieved. Come and see, it's just scratching the surface, I'm afraid you will feel uncomfortable."
Although she knew that Rong Jinshi would not use such low-level means to torture people, she was still worried that Rong Jinshi would affect her mood because no one could be happy to see her concubine's son.
Rong Jinshi's heart was sweeter than eating candy, "I'm so old for my mother, so I still want you to worry about it? Let's relax. He didn't exist today. He has been here for so many years. If I really can't overcome this hurdle, I'd have been able to overcome it long ago."
Rong Jingqiu smiled and stopped talking. Looking at Rong Jinshi, she didn't seem to be telling lies.
After a warm breakfast, the mother and daughter went to visit Rong Lu, who was still sick.
Seeing that he was still frightened as a frightened deer, Rong Jingqiu wanted to get up and salute, so he hurriedly stepped forward and pressed, "It's not too late to salute when he is well."
Rong Lu smiled shyly at her, but involuntarily looked at her serious legitimate mother.
Rong Jin sat down on the edge of the bed, reached out to stroke his forehead, "I finally stopped having a fever. Today I will ask someone to ask for leave for you. You can take good care of your illness at home, do you know? If you want to eat or lack something, please buy it. If you call me mother, I will always fulfill this responsibility."
The attitude is not very friendly, but the words are very helpful.
Rong Lu nodded, but was still worried and said, "Will my father be unhappy if the clan school asks for leave?"
"Don't worry, I'll tell him that when you recover from your illness, I'll hurry up and make up for the course I'll let you do. Then I'll tell your husband that he will give you homework in private."
The legitimate mother was extremely easy to talk to, and Rong Lu unconsciously compared her with her biological mother. At least her biological mother would not speak so gently to him. Her biological mother would only be gentle when her father was there.
The young man suddenly stopped resisting the strange environment and his strange mother. He showed it in his meal. He drank a large bowl of porridge for breakfast, which was better than the last time.
Rong Jingqiu didn't interrupt. Even she couldn't understand Rong Jinshi's actions. She was even more patient than her. However, she had never compared them with Rong Jingdong, so she didn't know if Rong Jinshi's way of doing this was normal.
Rong Lu lay down to rest after taking the medicine.
Rong Jingqiu then helped Rong Jinshi get up and leave. When she went outside and walked on the corridor, she said, "I really admire my mother's mind. If I were not, I would never be able to do everything."
Rong Jin sighed, "After all, it's not my biological child. If you don't care more, others will say that my legitimate mother has treated him harshly. This legitimate mother is as difficult as her stepmother." She did not mention her own plan at all.
Rong Jingqiu suffered a loss after all because she had never raised a child, otherwise she would have noticed the malice hidden under Rong Jin's good intentions.
She would not take the troubles of the family out of the house, but for safety reasons, she brought Hongshang and Lu Xiu, the two martial artists, with her when she went out. Recently, she hasn't seen Zhao Yu come to cause trouble for her again. It can be seen that these two maids should not have sent him messages privately. As long as she starts to be loyal to her, she can also give relative trust.
The summer in the capital is quite hot. Rong Jingqiu changed into a light blue dress, which made her feel a lot of impetuousness. After getting off the carriage, she saw someone sitting there waiting for her on the water pavilion not far away. A smile appeared on her face.
She refused to keep the maid holding her an umbrella, and she slowly walked towards the man with a lilac oil-paper umbrella.
Bo Jingran arrived early today, so he sat in the pavilion while reading a book while waiting. However, when he looked up, he saw the girl under the lilac umbrella walking towards him with a smile. The wind blew through her light blue dress, as if the sea was slightly waving, adding a little golden light to her. The hair behind him floated in the wind like a water grass, just like the fairy depicted in the book.
It made him lose his mind slightly.
"Young Master Bo, I've been waiting for a long time."
After entering the pavilion, Rong Jingqiu slowly closed the lilac oil paper umbrella in her hand.
Bo Jingran came to his senses and then smiled and stood up to greet her, "I just arrived not long ago, so I can't wait for a long time."
The two of them sat down again, and Bo Jingran took the teapot from the servant Anping's hand and brewed tea for Rong Jingqiu himself. The scent of tea wafted with the wind, adding some water to this world.
"I didn't expect Mr. Bo to have such a tea-making technique." Rong Jingqiu sighed.
She has no talent in tea ceremony, or she should have no thoughts to study it. In her previous life, she found that she didn't like tea fighting at parties, so she, a practical person, didn't spend that effort. She will directly turn away these flashy things in this life.
Of course, this did not prevent her from praising Bo Jingran. Indeed, Bo Jingran’s tea making skills are really good, and she could see the family’s background.
"Miss Rong praised it." Bo Jingran was very helpful to the compliment of the young girl. During this period, he found that his concentration was not as good as he imagined.
Rong Jingqiu is like the seemingly weak spider web, step by step, catching him with the net. How could he not be moved by such a beautiful woman?
He is not a stern person.
But I always feel that this love and friendship lacks the opportunity to hit the ball. She didn't make it clear, and he was also pretending to be confused, and they were both tempted and moving forward steadily.
It seems good to marry such a wife.
But speaking of this, he remembered the rumors Anping told him about her before going out today.
"Young Master, it is said that Miss Rong San was given a sacrificial medicine by her eldest aunt. Wouldn't it be impossible to have children? You should take her off early, otherwise wouldn't it be a pity if you really marry her and don't have a legitimate son in the future?"
To be continued...
