Hong Dou's hand that lit the lamp stopped in mid-air. She put down her hand, lit a small candle, and walked to Cheng Chun: "Madam..."
Cheng Chun sat on the bed holding the quilt, her smooth shoulders illuminated by the weak candlelight. She just sat there with her eyes slightly lowered, not knowing what she was thinking.
"Madam, why don't you keep the fifth master?" Hong Dou looked at Cheng Chun and asked softly.
Cheng Chun raised his head, his eyes slightly red: "The fifth master's wife, if the fifth master has a favored concubine, who would be willing to marry his precious daughter to the fifth master?"
Hongdou looked at Chengchun for a long time, then reached out and held Chengchun's hand: "Madam, the Fifth Master also has you in his heart..."
"I guess there is!" Cheng Chun slowly took back his hand, "Fetch me a basin of water. I want to wipe myself. Be gentle so as not to disturb the Fifth Master!"
Hongdou nodded and went to fetch water.
There was hot water in the yard, but to get hot water, you had to go through Su Xubai's house. Chengchun didn't want Hongdou to fetch it. He was worried that Su Xubai would find out, so he fetched a basin of cold water and wiped himself.
The moment the cold water touched her body, Chengchun shivered unconsciously, but the next moment, she also became more awake. In the dark night, under the weak candlelight, Chengchun's eyes gradually became firmer.
Chengchun didn't go to sleep until everything was tidied up.
The next day, Chengchun still didn't see Hongdou. She wrote a prescription and asked Hongdou to go to the drug store to get medicine: "You go secretly and don't let anyone know, especially woad!"
Hongdou didn't understand: "Madam, what kind of medicine is this?"
"Bizi Soup!" Chengchun looked at Hongdou and said coldly, "Go quickly!"
Hongdou was stunned for a moment, opened her mouth to say something, but in the end she just took the prescription and went to grab the medicine silently!
It's just that the red bean left the pharmacy with its front legs, and the dogwood entered the pharmacy with its hind legs.
"Bizi Soup?" Mrs. Sun was very surprised, "Are you sure she bought Bizi Soup?"
"Yes, Madam, I have asked again and again, and it is true that what she bought was Bizi Soup!" Zhuyu was very sure.
Mrs. Sun thought about it carefully: "Did the fifth brother go to her house yesterday? Now that he has gone, she doesn't want to try her best to keep the child, but she goes to buy Bizi soup by herself. What's the purpose?"
"Could it be that Fifth Master asked her to buy it?" Zhuyu was a little surprised.
Mrs. Sun shook her head: "Fifth brother is such a cautious person. If he really doesn't want her to have children, how can he let the people around her buy medicine?"
"That's because she doesn't want a child." Zhuyu responded, "But why doesn't she want a child? If she is pregnant with a child now, whether it is a boy or a girl, it will be the fifth master's first child, so in the future she will
Her life will be much smoother. Mother is more valuable than her son, so even if the fifth master no longer loves her, she will still have the capital to settle down and live her life!"
Mrs. Sun was thinking deeply, and after a long time, she suddenly murmured: "Is it possible that she didn't want to marry the fifth brother from the beginning, so she didn't want to give him a child?"
"No way!" Zhuyu shook her head, "She is a country woman, so being able to marry the Fifth Master is already a huge favor..."
Mrs. Sun didn't speak anymore. These days, Chengchun accompanied her to greet Mrs. Su. She could see that Chengchun was a person who didn't fight for anything. He was just a person. If he had something he cared about, how could he not fight for it?
What about grabbing?
Unless, she doesn't care at all.
Mrs. Sun had some calculation in her heart and some pity in her eyes: "Probably, she is just a miserable woman!"
Zhuyu didn't understand, and Mrs. Sun didn't explain. She just warned Chengchun and asked her to take more care of Chengchun in the future.
When you are living under someone else's roof, even the smallest things will reach your host's ears.
It didn’t take long for Mrs. Su to hear that Hongdou was boiling medicine in the yard. After learning that she was boiling medicine to avoid childbirth, Mrs. Su was a little surprised: "She is quite sensible!"
"If you ask that clever girl to trap Hongdou, I heard that it was Aunt Cheng who said that you can't prevent the fifth master from getting a wife. In order to save some money, the medicines you caught are the worst, and you are not afraid of eating them.
Body." Aunt Kong beside Mrs. Su said, shaking her head.
Mrs. Su turned back to look at Grandma Kong: "Why, do you feel distressed?"
"Why do you feel bad? It's just that it's rare to find such a sensible person. I've seen many girls climb up to bed in their master's house for wealth and glory. It's rare to see someone who is so sincere for the fifth master. I just feel that the fifth master didn't make a mistake." Kong
Grandma said helplessly, "It's transparent, but it's a pity..."
"What a pity she became a concubine?" Mrs. Su laughed, "No matter how transparent and sensible she is, she doesn't have a good financial background, and she appeared at the wrong time. If she ruins Lao Wu's reputation, she is not a good one."
Mother Kong listened and said nothing.
Just when Mother Kong was about to leave, Mrs. Su suddenly said: "After all, he has passed the household registration. Although I don't like him, I am not a harsh master. I will give her everything she needs.
The medicine house has already prepared it, so there is no need for her to buy it by herself. If he eats it badly by then, Lao Wu will have to blame me, his mother, for not taking good care of his ungrateful concubine."
Grandma Kong glanced at Mrs. Su, then smiled and left.
Mrs. Su also lived a hard life in the early years, but in recent years she has seen too many people who climbed into the master's bed for glory and wealth, and her people's hearts have gradually become colder. When dealing with those who were born in hardship, they have to make more money.
Women who are crowded are a bit more stingy and mean.
It didn't take long for Mrs. Su to ask the family members to issue a monthly salary to Cheng Chun in accordance with the rules. It didn't take long to reach Su Xubai's ears. He was a little unbelievable: "You mean my mother asked someone to issue a monthly salary to Achun?"
Isatis responded: "Everything missing in the house has been made up by others, and two girls have been sent to take care of it!"
"Did my mother take the wrong medicine?" Su Xubai was puzzled. He knew his mother very well. Mrs. Su was not such a tolerant and generous person. She resented Chengchun for ruining her reputation. She couldn't do anything like this.
Simply forgive her.
"My lady asked Hongdou to buy medicine, and Madam found out!" Jian Lan thought about it for a moment, and then told Su Xubai the whole story.
Su Xubai was silent for a long time, and in the end he didn't say anything, but the pen in his hand made a crunching sound. When he came to his senses, the pen had been broken into two pieces.
On this day, there was obviously nothing going on, but Su Xubai stayed in the study until late at night.
