Chapter 345(1/2)
There are always regrets in the world
Living in a sensitive environment, Lin Zhixiu concealed the news of her pregnancy before the fetus was firmly seated. But she knew that the people in the palace knew.
For example, when the princess of the East Courtyard returns to her parents' home, her brother comes, her face looks bad, and her servants are nervous...
She only ordered the people in her courtyard to keep a strict eye on their family and not to make friends with anyone.
Physically, she didn't feel too uncomfortable. She liked to eat light food, but she was very lazy and had to sleep several times every day.
That day Yuan Jing came. He was dressed in a navy blue silk robe with beautiful jade hangings...he was dressed very elegantly.
But that good-looking face was cold, even a little angry.
He and Wu Dong were in the same boat.
So he knew deeply that although Wu Dong was busy all day long, he had plenty of property, was well-fed and well-fed, and had a lot of people to serve.
But there is no one to sleep with...
After a hard day's work, when I returned to my room, it was so quiet that it would make a loud noise if I dropped something... I had something on my mind, I felt uncomfortable, and there wasn't even a single person to complain about.
How can it be that someone with wealth and power just ignores it?
Although he is also a disabled person, he has a prince after all...
He, the prince, and his children eat and live together.
Later, the prince married the princess and sent her away.
He... went to that village. Although there, he was the owner of the village, so he didn't need to look at people's faces. He had no worries about food and clothing, and there were many people to serve.
But now I don’t want to remember that kind of heart-wrenching pain.
It was true, how many days I couldn't eat, how many nights I couldn't sleep. How many tears I shed, I'm afraid, only I know it best.
If the prince doesn't get him back, I'm afraid he won't live long...
He serves the prince and works for the prince every night, so outsiders don't know that he has been sleeping next to the prince...
You have to feel his breathing and heat. You have to hear his heartbeat and the sound of turning over before you can fall asleep deeply.
He knew that the prince treated him in the same way.
This is living together!
Only he knows and understands Wu Dong.
In the past two days, during his follow-up investigation, he saw Wu Dongwei, the widow, running back and forth with a gentle expression on her face.
Even when the girl asked her to call her daddy, he actually blushed slightly but didn't refuse.
Even when he saw the woman's six-year-old son, he smiled and asked about his homework.
I don’t know if it was specially taught? Or the two children really missed their father... When the two children saw Wu Dong, they were very affectionate.
The "widow" always had some "little things that couldn't be solved", and Wu Dong took the initiative to solve them.
Well, finally Wu Buhao and Xiao Shuan'er did a good job! The two followed Wu Dong closely, never leaving their master. They also often reminded the master that there were things to be done outside, urging him to leave.
But he still saw that Wu Dong's eyes slowly started to light up. Even if it was unnecessary, he would go there and buy dolls and candied haws for the little girl...
And the widow...
"My dear, that woman is not a widow at all!" Yuan Jing said bitterly.
Lin Zhixiu sat casually on the imperial concubine's bed and nodded. She was not surprised, she was indeed not a widow!
"Her house was not bought for a few days. Yuan Jing followed her servant and saw that he went to a yard in Huaishu Hutong in Nanmen and came back with something. Only then did he find out her original residence. He went to inquire around.
It is said that the woman's original name was Hu Tian'er. She was very good-looking. When she was a girl, she was very famous in the area and many people wanted to marry her."
"Her husband used to be a little rich, but he was jealous by nature and was extremely obsessed with her. He fought countless fights because of her. Finally, the man had a business partner, and he joked a little with his wife, and he found out.
He wounded the man with a knife. The injured man had an official in his family, so he was sentenced to three years of hard labor. He was originally released last year, but within two days, he heard gossip and got into a fight with someone.
, went in again. I heard that it will be out soon."
Lin Zhixiu silently calculated, yes, they were this couple in the previous life.
"Then how did she move to where she is now?"
"It was said that the original owner of the house was a relative of the woman. I haven't had time to find out clearly yet. The land that Mr. Wu wants has been in operation for some time, and several surrounding households have moved away, leaving only these two households. So then
The woman said that she was the owner of this house, and no one found it strange. The people involved should also have passed through the house together. Therefore, all this is very natural! Mr. Wu did not notice anything unusual."
Lin Zhixiu's eyes were cold, "What a deep thought!"
Yuan Jing was filled with hatred, "Madam, they want to plot against Mr. Wu? What do they want to do?"
"It's hard to say yet. However, Mr. Wu has the prince's property in his hands. He also manages the property for the Li family. Furthermore, our prince is close to His Royal Highness Prince Jin... Princess Dongyuan treats me even more...
So now I can’t tell who it is for.”
When Yuan Jing heard this, he became even more anxious.
"Empress, since you want Yuan Jing to investigate, you must be suspicious of something. Tell Yuan Jing and I will find out and fix them!"
"Don't worry! They have made such a big circle, there must be nothing wrong with them. Don't say that we can't figure out who it is, even if we figure it out, they may not be easy to deal with! However, Uncle Dong and this woman can't have anything to do with each other.
It's involved. She...can the person her husband injured still be found?"
Yuan Ding nodded, "Yes! That man's surname is Huang. He was quite handsome at first, but then he got a scar on his face."
"Then contact him first..."
——Wu Dong helped the woman find a yard, not far from her original residence. He went to the house in person and picked her up to have a look.
As soon as they arrived at the woman's house, the door opened, and the little girl rushed out first. She opened her mouth to call her daddy! She came up and held Wu Dong's clothes tightly with both hands, looking at him with two watery eyes.
Wu Dong was a little nervous, but there was a gentle smile in the corners of his eyes.
Through the door, the woman came out holding the boy in her hand.
She was dressed in a white dress and had a silver hairpin on her hair, which made her skin whiter than snow, simple and elegant. She said softly: "I'd like to trouble you about this little lady."
The two people were walking and talking.
"You're welcome! It's very easy for me to do this if someone has the channels. You are a woman with a child, so it will be much more troublesome to do it!"
"The little lady is just thinking that your husband does big things! He will be very busy every day! I am afraid that it will delay your business!"
"It's easy! I'm doing errands around here today, so I made an appointment with a friend on Front Street. It's not a hassle at all."
"Ah?! Sir, I have an appointment...I..." The woman's face turned red and she looked very pretty.
"Do you have anything else to do?" Wu Dong asked.
"Originally, in order to thank you... and for settling down the family home, my family has prepared two side dishes, and I want to treat you to a simple meal!"
"Ah...this..." Wu Dong was a little surprised.
The little girl called softly: "Daddy! Just have a meal with your daughter! You are always so busy that your daughter can't even see you..."
Wu Dong felt tenderness in his heart, but thinking of his own situation...
Her expression changed again. She probably didn't know yet that she was...
It's just that he is greedy for this family warmth and can't bear to refuse it easily...
Wu Hao said loudly: "Sir, we are here!"
All of a sudden, this tender scene was disrupted.
The small courtyard in front of you has a neat door. When you go in, you can see that the courtyard is not big, but it is very delicate, and there is a flower pond.
Wu Dong said: "I took a look before and found that the house was very neat and not damaged. There is a well in the backyard and the water is very good. You don't need to clean up all this. You can live in it directly. For your situation, it is also cheaper.
"
The woman turned around and was very satisfied, so she decided on the spot.
Several people came out of the yard and stood at the door talking.
The woman didn't say anything more about inviting Wu Dong's family to dinner, but the little boy and the little girl pulled him over.
The boy asked him to watch his homework, and the girl asked him to go and eat. He told her what she said, but Wu Dong was hesitant and had not expressed his position yet.
The woman stood aside, looking at the two children helplessly with an endearing smile.
"Hey, isn't this Hu Tian'er?"
Following a strange voice, a man stood in front of the woman, staring at her wildly, looking her up and down.
When the woman saw it, her expression changed.
"I saw you just now, but I didn't dare to recognize you. When I take a closer look, it's really you! Why are you here? Tsk, tsk, your husband got rich and bought a new house?" He looked at the yard and then at the two houses.
Wu Dong being pulled by a child.
Wu Dong's demeanor and dress were absolutely magnificent. He was accompanied by two neatly dressed servants. He didn't know the depth and did not dare to say strange things to Wu Dong.
Instead, he turned around and said, "These are your children, right? Why do I call this person daddy?"
Wu Dong looked at the man. He should have been quite handsome, but there was a big scar on his face, making him ugly.
