Qingrong joked: "I think because of my reputation, Mrs. Liu is also attracted by her reputation."
Pei Lingniang said with a smile: "Don't make fun of me. What is famous or not is just a compliment from everyone. Sometimes it is too much. I really can't stand it anymore."
The two of them talked and laughed all the way, and seemed to be in harmony.
Qingrong first sent Pei Lengniang back to her house, and then returned to the county government's house. After a day of tossing, when Qingrong returned, the evening drum had been beating for a long time, and the pedestrians on the street were sparse, all rushing
Buzi returned home before the curfew.
The carriage had just stopped outside the door of the side courtyard. There was a man and woman who looked suspicious and were talking furtively about something. When she saw Qingrong getting off the carriage, the woman hurriedly chased the man away, and then she quickly ran away to the house and disappeared.
.
Azhen said dissatisfied: "This is the maid in that courtyard. She doesn't understand the rules. She doesn't show courtesy when she sees the lady, and runs away in a panic."
Qingrong waved her hand, not caring, "It doesn't matter." Since she didn't know where he was serving him, it was out of her control.
When the man saw Qingrong and his party, he didn't even dare to look up. He held a box in his hand and ran out in a hurry.
.. He was still mumbling words. Qingrong just caught a glimpse of it, but it was not real, so he didn’t think much about it. He asked Songyue to inquire with the concierge casually, as if he wanted to know about some doctor who came to see the doctor in the house...
The last time Qingrong drove Xue Shao to sleep in the study, it had been several days since Qingrong asked Xue Shao to go back to his room to rest. Xue Shao had a room and couldn't go back, so naturally he couldn't sit still. It's a pity that he is a person who doesn't know how to "please".
Qingrong felt sorry for her. Azhen and Songyue also talked about it once, but Qingrong was still unmoved and did not dare to say more. Qingrong just felt that if this person was not remembered better, he would not know what to do next time.
What are you trying to do to get her out of the cabinet?
But who knows that Xue Shao is a person who doesn't follow common sense. He saw Qingrong lying on the bed and was about to close her eyes to rest. Qingrong saw that he was only wearing thin pajamas, standing in front of the bed and wrapping her up.
He was picked up from the bed with the quilt on his back!
Qingrong's eyes widened and she couldn't help but said, "What are you going to do again?"
"You and I should sleep together. If you don't let me go back to the house to sleep, I can only carry you to the study." He said it bluntly, with a matter-of-fact tone.
Qingrong felt a headache when she saw his indifferent expression, "Don't you think you were wrong before?"
Xue Shao nodded seriously, "I made a mistake, and I know I was wrong, but you haven't calmed down for several days."
Qingrong said: "You just said you were wrong, but if you don't sincerely correct it, how can you calm me down?"
Xue Shao refused, and retorted: "I changed it. I caught the fish you drank in the fish soup these days, and I also caught the fish. Don't you like the new jewelry I gave you?"
Qingrong reacted, and seeing his aggrieved and serious expression, she couldn't help but chuckle, "Is this your apology?"
Xue Shao said nothing. Qingrong asked Xue Shao to put him down and also asked him to sit down with him.
"But you don't explain it to me, do you think I can guess it?" Xue Shao lowered his eyes and looked at Qingrong. Qingrong looked directly at him and continued: "I can guess it, but I can't just guess it.
That's enough, what I want to see is your attitude."
"Are you just angry that I drag you to have sex with you during the day?"
Qingrong blushed, but fortunately she was used to it and wasn't too embarrassed, "It's not just for this, you made me feel... you don't care about me, you don't listen to my words, and you turn a blind eye to my attitude. This can be called
Do I feel comfortable? In the past few days, I have also thought about it. From the first time we met to now, you have treated me very well. I am not without any affection for you, but it is still very weak after all. If you want to be with me
If you want to live a long and harmonious life, you should respect me and love me."
When she said this, she didn't actually expect Xue Shao to be interested in her. She also felt that she might need to talk to him, just to ease the awkwardness between the two of them, so that she could be more comfortable in the future.
I can live a more comfortable life.
Her voice was not loud, her tone was gentle and gentle, but every word she spoke spoke into the other person's heart. Xue Shao couldn't believe his ears. He raised his eyes and looked clear, his voice trembling slightly, as if he wanted to be sure, "You want to be good with me?"
Live a good life?”
Qingrong hummed, "As long as you can do this, I will treat you sincerely."
He said seriously: "I will do it, but I can't promise you that I won't let you down. A gentleman must do what he says. If you are not completely sure of it, you shouldn't make it easily."
Qingrong was stunned when he heard this, and then smiled with understanding, "That's right, it takes time to see people's hearts, and you can't just rely on a word or a promise."
Xue Shao looked at Qingrong, his Adam's apple rolled, and his eyes were deep. He reached out and caressed Qingrong's cheek, "Can I kiss you?"
"What?" Qingrong didn't respond.
Xue Shaodao: "Don't you want me to obey your words and obey everything? I want to ask you, if I kiss you, what if you get angry with me again? I don't want you to be angry with me."
Qingrong sometimes felt that the elm head was so dumb that she couldn't laugh or cry. She suppressed a chuckle, leaned forward, kissed Xue Shao's face, and then stepped away. Her eyes were full and she said softly: "Okay."
Xue Shao suddenly looked at her appearance, and suddenly felt peaceful. He didn't know what to say. All his words seemed powerless at this moment. He only felt that he could only hold her tightly in his arms.
able to satisfy.
Of course he did this. Although Qing Rong was puzzled, he was used to this man always being tampering with others, so he didn't stop him.
Just when the surroundings were quiet, the sound of a woman crying and making noise suddenly came from outside. Qingrong signaled Xue Shao to let go. She felt strange, so she called A Zhen and the others to come in, "What happened outside?"
Azhen said: "It seems something happened in Madam Yang's yard. I heard that someone has been sent to invite the old lady over."
What could be so serious that even her parents-in-law were alarmed? Qingrong recalled the two suspicious-looking people she saw this afternoon and felt more and more something was wrong. When Xue Shao saw this, he asked: "What's wrong?"
Qingrong said: "Something happened in the third sister-in-law's yard. Even my mother-in-law was alarmed. I am not worried and want to go and have a look." Xue Shao naturally had no objection and offered to accompany Qingrong.
The two changed their clothes, hurriedly tidied up and went to Xue Cheng's yard.
Unexpectedly, as soon as they arrived, they saw that the whole courtyard was brightly lit. There was a room full of servants and maids kneeling in the courtyard. Everyone held their breath and concentrated, not daring to raise their heads. There was also a maid crying on the ground...
Ms. Yang stood under the corridor, her face turned pale, with tears in her eyes. Only her personal maid was supporting her. Xue Cheng and she stood on each side, with gloomy expressions on their faces. Everyone knew that these two people were probably quarreling again.
…
When Mrs. Yang saw Qingrong coming, she looked at her aggrieved and helpless, but did not dare to speak. Qingrong hurriedly walked over and called: "Third sister-in-law."
When Yang heard this, she couldn't hold back her tears. She couldn't help holding Qingrong and sobbing, "I didn't, I really didn't..." Before he could ask about the situation, Lu and Su also came after hearing the news.
.
Mrs. Lu was anxious, "What's going on?"
At this time, Xue Cheng was furious. He changed his usual amiable demeanor, pointed at Yang and said angrily: "Ask her about the good things she did. She knew that Sui'er was pregnant and was jealous. She made things difficult for Sui'er several times, causing Sui'er to have a child.
Produce!"
Yang couldn't stop sobbing and shook her head quickly: "Don't slander me with nonsense. I didn't mean to harm her at all. She obviously did it on purpose!"
Xue Cheng was already angry, and he was even more furious when he heard this, and was about to step forward to take action. Xue Shao quickly stopped him with quick eyes and hands, and said in a deep voice: "Third brother, calm down!"
"Calm down! How can you tell me to calm down, this scorpion woman!"
Seeing that something was wrong, Mrs. Lu asked Xue Cheng to speak clearly. Xue Cheng said that Zhao Er was pregnant and should have rested in peace, but Yang made things difficult for her several times, using the pretext that she had something to see Zhao Sui'er, instead of letting her stand in the corridor all morning.
, it was something like knocking over the tea cup and burning Zhao Sui'er's hand...
After hearing this, Yang's maid rushed to defend her wife. She defended: "That's not the case at all. Today, it's Miss Zhao who wants to stand outside the door. My wife simply..."
Xue Cheng shouted angrily: "Shut up, the master is talking, it's your turn to interrupt!"
After hearing this, Mrs. Su immediately advised: "Third brother, don't worry, is there any misunderstanding?" She had been with Ms. Yang for several years, but she didn't know her character and didn't believe she would deliberately make things difficult for others.
Qingrong didn't believe it either, but she also knew that now was not the time to defend Yang, "Third brother, I know you are anxious, but now is not the time to blame Third Sister-in-law. The most important thing is Zhao Xiaoniang's body. She is now alive."
Where are you and how is the situation?"
Xue Cheng's face was livid, and he gritted his teeth and said: "I was lying in the room. I saw redness in the evening. I asked the doctor and found out that the child could not be saved!" Thinking of this, he became angry and pointed.
Looking at Yang, she said: "It's in vain that she devoted all her time to defending you. She didn't dare to speak out when something happened and just endured it. You are so cruel and can't tolerate her!"
Qingrong and Mrs. Su couldn't help but look at each other, each with a deep meaning in their eyes. This happened in the evening? Zhao Sui'er's child was gone, and Mrs. Lu was naturally pity. She scolded Xue Cheng, "Okay, okay, yelling.
, How dignified are you? Why don't you take me to see Sui'er?"
Mrs. Su took Ms. Lu and went with Xue Cheng, while Qingrong stayed there to accompany Mr. Yang. She led Ms. Yang forward for a while and distanced herself from the people in the courtyard. She asked in a low voice
: "Sister-in-law, what on earth is going on?"
"Sanniang! Sanniang! You believe me, I never want to harm her!" Yang was a little excited for a moment, and she couldn't help sobbing. Seeing that she was losing control of her emotions, Qingrong had no choice but to ask the maid next to her.
The maid said, Mrs. Yang didn't ask Zhao Sui'er to come over today. She came by herself. She also said a lot of weird words to ridicule Yang. Ms. Yang is a good-natured person. Even if she was angry, she would just ask someone to send Zhao Sui'er away.
He left, but Zhao Sui'er felt aggrieved and said that she would stand outside the door and wait for Yang's anger to subside before leaving...
