Just as the two of them were immersed in their own thoughts, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door.
Then, the door opened, and Zhu Junhao walked in lightly. Behind him was a woman in her late forties, who looked like she was a servant.
Brother Shu Wuluan hurriedly wiped the mist from his eyes, stood up from the couch in a hurry, and called out awkwardly: "Father..."
Zhu Junhao stood still in front of the couch and smiled gently, "You are still such a shy kid, please sit down quickly."
For some reason, every time he saw this foster daughter, he always felt an inexplicable sense of intimacy. Maybe it was because of Aiwujiwu, or because Jun Xue liked her, so he also developed a liking for her. .
Brother Shu Wuluan waved his hand and said: "No. After sitting for a long time, Luan'er thought that there would be a moon sacrifice ceremony in the inner palace in the evening, so it was time to say goodbye to his adoptive father and adoptive mother and return to the palace. .”
Zhu Junhao noticed that the woman looked a little lively every time she saw him, but he didn't force it. He nodded kindly and turned to look at his beloved wife, his eyes as soft as a pool of spring water.
But when Pei Junxue heard that she was leaving, she felt very reluctant to leave. He quickly took her hand and said with a hint of pleading in her voice, "Are you going back so soon? Mom is also thinking of making some sweet-scented osmanthus for you later. Let’s try the glutinous rice cake!”
The man heard the reluctance in his beloved wife's voice, and then said in coordination: "Your mother has been looking forward to your coming every day, and today is the Reunion Festival, so you should stay a little longer and spend time with your mother. Anyway, there is no time It’s still early, and I’m not in a rush to go back at this moment. My father will tell the kitchen to prepare dinner early. After dinner, you can go back to the palace.”
Their enthusiastic retention made Ge Shu Wuluan shaken. Then he noticed that his adoptive mother held her hand so tightly that her finger bones ached. Only then did he realize how reluctant she was to leave her, and finally couldn't bear to make her sad. Then he responded: "Well, Luan'er will go back later."
Hearing this, Pei Junxue's face cleared away the gloom and revealed a happy smile. He slowly pulled her to the couch and sat down.
Seeing that his beloved wife was in a better mood, Zhu Junhaoden felt relieved and immediately asked, "Have you taken the anti-fetal medicine?"
Pei Junxue's eyes stayed on Ge Shu Wuluan's face, and she replied softly: "I just finished using it."
The man smiled reassuringly, raised his hand to caress her rosy cheek, and said softly: "I see that you look good today, I guess the little one in your belly didn't bother you! I know that the medicine prescribed by Dr. Chang is very bitter. , but he is the most famous doctor in the capital and is best at taking care of pregnant women. Therefore, remember to follow the doctor's instructions and drink medicine on time. If you feel uncomfortable in your mouth, I will send someone to Luomei Zhai to buy more candied fruits and osmanthus candies for you. If you eat If you are tired of it, just tell me and I will change it for you right away. Also, you have severe morning sickness and miss sour food occasionally, so I sent people to Dongshan Qingmei Garden to pick fresh plums. I heard that fresh plums are the most refreshing. Yes, I think you will like it."
He spoke softly, with joy in becoming a father in his tone, but more importantly, deep distress for his wife's pain during pregnancy.
These thoughtful words not only melted Pei Junxue's heart, but even Ge Shu Wuluan couldn't help but feel moved when he heard them.
It seems that he really cares about his mother-in-law, it almost hurts to the core! Fortunately, she persuaded them to make peace at that time. Otherwise, this pair of lovers would have really missed each other!
His thoughtful care made Pei Junxue's face appear a little unnaturally flushed, and she slowly pulled his hand down and nodded silently.
Zhu Junhao observed that his actions made her feel embarrassed in front of her adopted daughter, so he withdrew his big palm. Suddenly, he remembered something and said again: "Oh, by the way. Those little maids around you, although She is smart, but not stable enough, and seems to be frizzy, so I thought of replacing you with a stable and considerate person to serve you. It just so happens that you also know this person. Oh, with her serving you, I can do it too. Completely relieved!”
After saying that, he slowly turned his head and looked at the person behind him.
Following his line of sight, Ge Shu Wuluan noticed the woman who had been standing silently by the door. She was dressed in plain clothes and was nearly forty years old. She had an average appearance and didn't look outstanding. He just had a pair of fairly bright eyes.
For some reason, the moment the woman came into contact with her eyes, her face suddenly lost color and turned into snow. Then, even those bright eyes showed a color of panic. Yes, it was panic. , as if seeing her was like seeing a ghost!
But don’t know why? !
Brother Shu Wuluan secretly guessed.
Here, the woman had been shocked by the loving scene in front of her. She was deeply trapped in certain emotions and could not extricate herself for a long time. It was not until this moment that she discovered the woman's existence.
When she saw her appearance clearly, an unspeakable panic suddenly filled her heart! who is she? Why does it appear here? Could it be...
No! Will not! That person should be dead long ago! Furthermore, there are many people with similar looks in the world, so she does not need to be afraid, she is just scaring herself...
The woman just comforted herself secretly, but she didn't know that the emotion on her face was still a little uneasy.
The surprise in Ge Shu Wuluan's eyes was even greater.
At this time, the woman finally suppressed her frightened mood, and hurriedly looked away from the woman's face. She calmed down her expression, raised her eyes to look at Pei Junxue, who was sitting opposite, took two hurried steps forward, and called out excitedly. Said: "Miss..."
Her voice is much more outstanding than her appearance. The lingering sound is still lingering in the room, but her eyes have quietly fallen towards Pei Junxue's belly that has not yet swollen. A strange look is hidden in her eyes, so fast that it is difficult to detect. .
Seeing Pei Junxue just staring at her blankly and saying nothing for a moment, the woman moved her lips and spoke again, but she changed her title, "Madam, don't you recognize my slave?"
Her voice was sad and sweet, but in her heart she was roaring with jealousy: It’s no wonder she couldn’t recognize her. Sometimes when she looked at herself in the bronze mirror, she felt so strange because she was really much older. She was so young. Her face no longer exists, replaced by vicissitudes of life, wrinkles, and even her hair has some white hair. How ruthless the years are. She was not born outstanding, but think about how ugly she is now!
But why did the woman in front of her not change at all? That beautiful face, the one that made her crazy with jealousy, had not left even half a trace of time!
Oh, God is so partial. He gave her all the good things, his noble birth, his beautiful face, and most importantly, she got all his love! Even if his heart is broken, he will work hard to put it back together for her. It has been the same for more than ten years, pretending to be all about her!
But what about here? Originally, I thought that by secretly forcing her out of Zhu Mansion, she would be able to capture the man's heart bit by bit. However, even if she left, he would not look at her at all. In the end, he would give her as a gift. She was given to the housekeeper of that other courtyard as his wife...
It's sad that she tried so hard but got nothing in the end! This is so unfair!
She will never be able to get rid of her low status, and she will never be as good as her, let alone replace her position in a man's mind? !
However, she was unwilling to do so!
Why did you come back after you left
Why is God so cruel to let her see their dazzling happiness
No! Even if she can't get him, she would rather all three of them have a hard time, and she can't just watch the two of them being deeply attached to each other while she suffers alone. She won't let them have an easy time, no, never. …
Now, seeing that the years were favoring her alone, the jealousy burned into a ball of flames, which could almost burn through her chest. How could she let her continue to be okay? !
Show affection in front of her? Are you pregnant with a child? How could she send this one away just because the evil bastard disappeared
Thinking of this, a hint of sinisterness quietly covered the woman's eyes.
Pei Junxue looked at the person in front of her carefully and called out uncertainly: "Azi, Zishan? Is that you?"
"It's a slave." The woman knelt down on the ground, her eyes flashing with water, and the expression on her face seemed to be very excited.
It's really her! She almost didn't recognize her!
Pei Junxue looked at the tearful woman in front of her in surprise, her eyes full of disbelief.
Zishan was her dowry maid. At that time, after she left the house, she left her in Zhu's house. After she went up the mountain and entered the nunnery, there was no news from her. However, she knew that Jun Hao would not He would embarrass her and treat her kindly, which made her feel a little relieved. Since then, she has never deliberately inquired about her information.
Unexpectedly, after so many years of not seeing her, she has changed so much. Her face is no longer familiar and full of vicissitudes of life. Looking at her dress, it is obvious that she is married, but she missed the opportunity to wish her well. !
In fact, although Zishan was her personal maid, she regarded her as a sister, because her parents died young when she was young, and her only brother only cared about his career and paid little attention to her. She was the only one beside her. They had been together since childhood and grew up together until she came out of the cabinet.
She talked to her about almost everything. She even told her secretly who she had a crush on. Every time she secretly left the house to meet the one she loved, she secretly kept it from her brother and took her away for her. The guards in the mansion…
Later, she married into the Zhu Mansion. Because she had no feelings for Jun Hao at that time, she even proposed to take her as his concubine. Funny thing is, Jun Hao angrily rejected her. Later, she gradually discovered that Zishan seemed to have that kind of interest in Jun Hao, but at that time she no longer had the intention to match them up, because she fell in love with Jun Hao!
She admits that she is very selfish and greedy, and cannot tolerate the existence of a third person in her love. Otherwise, even if she loves again, she will give up without hesitation!
