Jade was lying in **, watching the bright moon outside the window and the star fights, as a lady of the main room, and experienced a mess of the husband and an outsider in person. They have to divorce logically. As the wrong party, the court can be a little more divided when dividing the common property.
But now, Mingyu could only cover her face and sigh, feeling disappointed in her heart. Not only did she have to keep it a secret for them, she also had to pretend that she knew nothing about it.
Luo Lingxiu was a perfect, gentle and virtuous grandson's wife in the Marquis's Mansion. Except that the old lady didn't like her very much, everyone in the mansion had a good impression of her. She helped Miao with household chores and served the elders. Even if the old lady didn't like her, she couldn't find any fault with her.
Mingyu was just a twelve-year-old girl. Who would believe her if she said that the eldest sister-in-law and Master Bao had an affair? I was afraid that Miao would be the first to jump out and cover her mouth, drag her out and give her a good beating. How dare she throw dirty water on her niece and son
Moreover, even the old lady and Sima Qing would not believe this kind of scandal. It was not because they trusted the character of Luo Lingxiu and Master Bao, but because they refused to believe it, were unwilling to believe it, and could not believe it. The unclear relationship between the eldest sister-in-law and the younger brother-in-law would only make the Sima Marquisate lose face in front of the world.
It would certainly not work for Mingyu to achieve her goal of divorce in this way. She was a helpless person, and the Sima Hou Mansion was all-powerful in Tianshui. If she ruined the reputation of the Sima Hou Mansion, in the ancient times when reputation was as important as the sky, she had no doubt that the Sima Hou Mansion would let her die mysteriously in the backyard, and then inform her parents of the death and be done with it.
In ancient times, medical techniques were backward, there were many diseases, and countless children died young. Isn't it normal for a few people to die
After thinking it over, Mingyu felt a chill in her heart. She was more and more glad that she made the right choice not to come back immediately in the afternoon. If Luo Lingxiu knew that she knew about this, she would punish her to death.
The result of tossing and turning was that Mingyu didn't close his eyes until the sky in the east was light. No matter how Lixiang called him, he couldn't get up from the bed. He had to put on a good show anyway. Mingyu simply said to Lixiang, "Go and tell the madam that I fell asleep in Cuiwei Pavilion yesterday and caught a cold. I can't go to pay my respects today."
When Miao heard what Nanny Tan had said, she threw the teacup in anger. "Look, she's been sick and slutty for three days and she doesn't even come to pay her respects. Did I marry a daughter-in-law or invite a Buddha back? She's not young anymore, but she doesn't remember anything. She just fell into the water and went to sleep in the attic. I'm so angry! How did her parents discipline her? She's just here to cause trouble for Bao Ge'er!"
Luo gently advised: "My sister-in-law may really be feeling unwell. She is young and is not used to being here. It is normal for her to have a headache or fever."
Miao's anger was still not over, and she blamed the instigator, "It's all the old lady's fault. She insisted on marrying the Xu family's daughter and brought back such a plague god. She can't be taught well, and she doesn't listen. She deliberately came to irritate me!"
Mrs. Luo was so worried that she couldn't sleep well the whole night. She was afraid that what she said to Master Bao would be heard by others. If it got out, not only would her reputation be ruined, but she would also drag down the Sima, Miao and Luo families. She would have no choice but to hang herself with a ten-foot-long white silk cloth. The position of the future Lady of the Marquis of Anxi would have nothing to do with her at all.
Even if she died, her reputation was so bad that she couldn't even enter the Sima family's ancestral hall. The Luo family would definitely not want to accept her as a daughter who was not faithful to her husband. When she thought about the future where she would die and be a wandering ghost thrown in a mass grave, Luo Lingxiu felt so scared that her hands and feet turned cold.
After a tough night, she rushed to Miao's house early in the morning just to see Mingyu's reaction. She was very worried and would not allow any accidents to happen.
However, Mingyu did not come to pay respects to Miao, but only said that she had caught a cold in Cuiwei Pavilion and was sick. Luo had to suppress her fear and uneasiness and accompanied Miao to pay respects to the old lady, listening to Miao's complaints all the way, such as the little girl was sickly, ignorant, and annoyed when she saw her.
Luo Lingxiu was worried and absent-minded when she paid her respects to the old lady. Miao asked her with concern if she was feeling unwell, but Luo Lingxiu answered vaguely.
After returning from the old lady, Luo Lingxiu went straight to Mingyu's yard. She wanted to test Mingyu's reaction personally.
Mingyu was lying on the bed with her hair loose, her long hair was as black as ink and her face was pale. She closed her eyes weakly and complained about a headache.
Luo Lingxiu stared at Mingyu's reaction, but couldn't see anything wrong. "How do you feel, sister-in-law? Did you not fully recover from your last illness? Should we go see a doctor again?"
"Thank you for your concern, sister-in-law." Mingyu said politely. It was really rude to visit a patient without any sincerity and not even bring a gift. But then again, last time she was seriously ill, Luo Lingxiu didn't come to visit her, but this time she came in a hurry.
Luo looked at Mingyu, her face was pale, her eyes were dark, and she looked listless. She really looked like she was sick. She thought for a moment and asked with a smile, "Mingyu, why did you go to Cuiwei Pavilion to play? Don't you like Furong Garden?"
Mingyu snorted twice and said weakly, "I took a bath in Furong Garden once, and I don't dare to go there again. My wife also won't let me go there, saying that a gentleman should not stand under a dangerous wall. I have no other place to go, so I can only go to Cuiwei Pavilion. The sun shone into the attic, and it was warm on my body, so I fell asleep."
Luo Lingxiu smiled, reached out and patted Mingyu through the quilt, with a kind and caring attitude, "Mingyu, don't be like this in the future. I told you before that Sima Hou Mansion is not like your previous family home. Wherever you go in the future, you must bring a maid with you."
Mingyu pouted unhappily, "I don't like having a maid with me. She follows me everywhere I go. It's so annoying!"
"That won't do. If it gets out that the grandma of the Marquis's mansion doesn't even have a maid when she goes out, won't that make people laugh? This is the rule. Remember, don't skip a word." Luo smiled.
Mingyu responded weakly, "Okay, I'll remember that. I won't do that again."
Luo Lingxiu looked carefully at Mingyu's expression before standing up and going back.
Not long after Luo Lingxiu left, Sima Hong came. He looked a little embarrassed. He sat in front of Mingyu's bed and asked hesitantly, "Did you really go to Cuiwei Pavilion yesterday? Did you go anywhere else?"
"No, I just went to Cuiwei Pavilion. Why are you asking this?" Mingyu asked back.
"Well, well..." Sima Hong was at a loss for words, "Don't you like to go to Furong Garden? Why did you suddenly go to Cuiwei Pavilion?"
Only ghosts like to go to Furong Garden! She would never go to that ghost garden again, no matter how hard she tried. Nothing good happened every time she went there. That garden must have bad feng shui, and evil spirits were buried there, which was in conflict with her fate.
Mingyu was unhappy. She looked at Sima Hong with her big black and white eyes as if accusing him, "I only went to that garden once, and I fell into the water!"
Sima Hong remembered that he had caused Mingyu to fall into the water, and felt guilty. He said apologetically: "When you recover from your illness, I will take you wherever you want to go. I am very familiar with the whole Tianshui."
Mingyu curled her lips, no need for him to pretend to be kind.
Seeing Mingyu yawning with her hands covering her mouth while talking, Sima Hong didn't disturb her anymore. He told her to have a good rest and left. Before leaving, he asked Lixiang and Nanny Zou to take good care of her.
Luo Lingxiu was still worried, so she went to the front yard to assign tasks to the maids and servants, and found Sima Hong. She asked the maid to stand guard at the intersection, and whispered to Sima Hong, "Did the little girl hear us?"
Sima Hong was not happy to hear Luo Lingxiu's impolite attitude towards Mingyu, and said unhappily, "No."
Luo Lingxiu was anxious, "Why don't you take it seriously? Did you hear it?"
"I've already said it, you don't believe me, what can I do?" Sima Hong was a little impatient. "What are you afraid of? A person of integrity is not afraid of his own shadow. I don't think I have done anything to let my elder brother down. Even if I exchanged a few letters with you, it was before you and elder brother got engaged. I burned those letters a long time ago. Even if someone knew about it, it's nothing shameful. Who said that cousins can't write letters to each other?"
Luo Lingxiu gritted her teeth and said, "I'm worried. That little girl is very cunning. She might jump out and bite me at any time."
"Then why don't you go ask her again?" Sima Hong sneered, becoming more and more annoyed. Mingyu was young and innocent, but why couldn't she get a good word from her sister-in-law? "Go ask her if she heard what we said yesterday. She is only twelve years old. If she heard those words, would she still be like this? She must have been wronged and at a loss.
"I've asked." Luo Lingxiu was not confident. The little girl didn't seem to know about this, but she was still worried. She didn't know if it was an illusion, but she always felt that the little girl's big dark eyes were shining with mockery when she looked at her.
Logically speaking, it is impossible for a little girl to remain calm and not take it seriously when encountering such a thing. Sima Lian was just crying because the lady refused to accept her handkerchief. What's more, Mingyu is even younger. If she had known, wouldn't she have gone to the old lady to ask for help
Luo Lingxiu felt that she was overly suspicious. She was now paranoid and suspicious. If she asked too many questions in front of the little girl, she would be exposed. Maybe the lady and the old lady would notice something, which would not be worth it.
"Sister-in-law." Sima Hong softened his tone, "Let's just let it go. You're married, and I'm married too. You shouldn't have asked me out yesterday. The weather will be hot soon. When autumn comes and it's cooler, I'll talk to mother and have someone send you to your brother in the capital so you and your wife can be reunited."
After saying that, Sima Hong walked away, leaving Luo Lingxiu standing there alone with her head lowered. She felt sad and lost, as if something that she had had for so long no longer belonged to her.
