"Sister Yue, don't worry, no matter how sad mother is, won't you and your brother still be there? Mother will live a long life, watching my sister Yue get married in a beautiful way, and live a happy life." Lin solemnly said The ground assured that there was a tinge of sadness in her heart, brother Xin's marriage...she might never see it in this life.
After fixing the divine beast, Lin once again warned Nangong Yue: "Sister Yue, it's all right for you to say these things to your mother, and you must not say that outside."
"Mother, don't worry. I understand." Nangong Yue leaned her head on Lin's weak shoulder, and said coquettishly, "Mother also has to trust Sister Yue, even if Yueer is not a male, she will take care of her well." Be filial to your mother and take care of your brother! Yue'er will make my mother and brother proud of me!" As she spoke, she cast a faint glance at the person who had just left outside the door from the corner of her eye. a figure.
Halfway through their conversation, her father, Nangong Mu, appeared outside the door. Although she discovered this, she deliberately pretended not to know, just to see how her father would behave
What will he do? Let himself and his mother be completely disappointed like in the previous life, or...
A coldness flashed across Nangong Yue's eyes, even if her father did nothing, she had already figured out how to clean up the red and the green!
Then, Nangong Xin came with Cuju in his hands. Nangong Yue played with him in the yard for a while, and had lunch together before returning to Mozhuyuan.
In the evening of that day, Que'er brought her the news that her father, Nangong Mu, went to find her grandmother in person, and returned the two maids to her.
Nangong Yue's heart is extremely complicated, her father actually did this!
Nangong Yue breathed a sigh of relief. Although Nangong Mu's move might offend the Su family and make her more difficult for the Lin family, at least she can now be sure that Nangong Mu has no intention of taking a concubine because of his children.
As long as I give myself a little more time, heal my elder brother, recuperate my mother's body, and give birth to younger siblings, then many things will be solved easily.
Nangong Yue's heart was touched, and she felt that in her previous life, under a series of blows, she might have really gotten into a dead end. Her father may not be as ruthless as she thought...
**◆**
In the early morning of the next day, after everyone greeted them, Mrs. Su left Mrs. Lin to talk.
Nangong Yue knew in her heart that it should be for the sake of her children, but it was inconvenient to say anything, so she withdrew with the crowd and went to Jingzhe Residence to go to boudoir school.
"Mother..." Mrs. Lin looked at Mrs. Su with a little anxiety, and was ready to be embarrassed in her heart. The husband must have angered his mother-in-law when he returned the room that his mother-in-law had given him.
Mrs. Su fixedly looked at Mrs. Lin, happy to see Mrs. Lin feeling uneasy. Lin Shi was originally not a daughter-in-law she liked, but after seeing Lin Shi, the second son became obsessed with ghosts and insisted on marrying Lin Shi. If it were her, she would never have agreed to this marriage, but the old man was still alive at that time, and the second son begged with a few words, and he agreed.
From her point of view, what's so good about this Lin family? He comes from an ordinary background. He is a farmer, businessman, and doctor. This doctor is not even as good as a businessman! This is her face, her eyes are like autumn water, and her face is like peach blossoms...
If it wasn't for this face, how could the second child love Lin so much!
What a vixen!
Su cursed secretly in her heart, her face became more gloomy, and her tone was not friendly when she said it: "Lin, the second child sent Hong'er and Cui'er back yesterday..."
She spoke slowly, and then her tone suddenly changed, full of hostility, "Did you instigate this?"
Su's tone was not only harsh, but even his eyes were extremely sharp, which made Lin shrink back in fear, and hurriedly said: "Mother knows the lesson, but my daughter-in-law doesn't!"
Seeing her appearance, Mrs. Su waved her hand impatiently, and said, "It doesn't matter if it's yes or no, I can't control it anymore. Mrs. Lin, I'll give you a deadline, half a year, if you If you haven't conceived within half a year, it will be useless for the second child to come and withdraw!" The more she said, the more ruthless her attitude became, "At that time, I will choose a good family and give the second child Take it as a good concubine."
This good family is different from slaves and maidservants. The contract of prostitution of slaves and maidservants is firmly held in the hands of the master. If they want to fight or sell, it is the master's business. Nothing can happen, and it is common for them to leave their mothers and keep their children; but this good concubine But it is different, the good concubine has passed the paperwork in the government, and if something happens, the parents can sue the government. In general, big families rarely take good concubines in order to avoid disputes between the concubine and the concubines.
Since the Su family even talked about the good concubine, it is obviously not just talking casually, but an ultimatum.
Lin took a deep breath, his face turned pale slightly, there was still half a year left, half a year...
Is this... a deadline...
Lin's breathing was stagnant, and then she gently closed her eyelids, a trace of disappointment flashed in her eyes, and said meekly: "Yes, mother, my daughter-in-law knows."
"I'm tired, you can go back." Su pinched the center of her eyebrows, waved her hand, and signaled that she could go back.
At this time, Nangong Yue and the other girls were attending class at the Jingzhe Residence.
After taking two days off, Fang Ru began to review the previous courses as soon as the class started. She was talking about women's rings, so the content was naturally very boring, but the girls were in awe of her, so they all listened attentively.
Only Su Qingping seemed to be preoccupied, her complexion was haggard, her eyes were dull, and she looked out of her mind.
Standing by the desk, Fang Ru could see everything in the classroom at a glance. Of course, seeing Su Qingping's strange behavior, she couldn't help frowning slightly, and her already serious face became even more serious.
"Miss Su." Fang Ru called out.
Su Qingping stared blankly at the front, her eyes couldn't focus, and she just sat there without any reaction.
Fang Ru simply walked up to Su Qingping's seat, scolded with displeasure on her face, "Miss Su, if you think my class is unpleasant, you don't have to come!"
Su Qingping remained indifferent.
Fang Ru was furious immediately: "Miss Su, you don't need to go to class anymore!"
"..." At this moment, Su Qingping finally came back to her senses, just in time to hear Fang Ru's angry reprimand, she felt extremely wronged, she couldn't help crying, and trotted out of the courtyard of Jingzheju. Liu Rong hurriedly followed his young lady.
Fang Ru quickly calmed down. She has been teaching boudoir studies in the inner house for many years, so it can be said that she has seen all kinds of students, so how could she know Su Qingping as well. She looked around at the girls and warned: "If you don't want to study, don't worry about not coming in the future." After finishing speaking, she began to give lectures again.
Nangong Yue sneered in her heart. Seeing Su Qingping's distraught look, she should have heard the news that Nangong Cheng was going to discuss marriage with the third girl of the Gu family. The third girl of Gu's mansion is a girl from the servant's family of the Ministry of Industry, and the concubine's sister of Mrs. Changping Hou. If this marriage is successful, Nangong Mansion will have a relationship with Yongping Hou Mansion and Gu Mansion.
Nangong Yue smiled playfully. If Mrs. Su knew about the scandal between her niece and her concubine, she didn't know how she would make a decision.
Should I choose the interests of the family and let the fourth uncle continue to marry the Gu family, or fulfill Su Qingping's wish and marry the fourth uncle
**◆**
At the same time, Su Qingping ran all the way back to her room from the Shocking Residence, throwing herself on the bed and crying loudly.
"Damn it! That Fang Ru treats me like this! Didn't he belittle my Su family's decline!"
She beat the quilt vigorously, again and again, and said bitterly: "It's really a dragon trapped on the beach and being bullied by a shrimp, and a tiger falling in Pingyang and being bullied by a dog! When I marry into the Nangong family, I will definitely make her look good..."
She still wanted to speak harshly, but suddenly thought of the rumors she heard yesterday that Mrs. Zhao was going to help Nangong Cheng to marry her, and the object was the third girl of the Gu family...
Looking at her girl's face, Liu Rong probably knew what she was thinking, and felt aggrieved for her girl in her heart: after all, my girl and the fourth master fell in love with each other, but it happened that the fourth master wanted to get along with Gu The three girls in the mansion discussed the matter of marriage. How can the girl not be sad
But the last time the eldest lady introduced such a terrible marriage, the old lady didn't say anything. It's no wonder that the girl is paranoid and anxious every day. I just hope that the fourth master is reliable, and he must not disappoint the girl's affection, otherwise, what will the girl do in the future
Although she thought so in her heart, she still comforted her master: "Miss, don't be sad, the fourth master will definitely not let you down. Besides, there is the old lady, the old lady will definitely make decisions for you..."
Under Liu Rong's comfort, Su Qingping's mood finally stabilized. She gritted her teeth bitterly and said, "I won't just give up and admit defeat! No matter how bad the Su family is, it used to be an aristocratic family anyway. Could it be that I'm not even worthy of a bastard from the Nangong family?"
Liu Rong naturally echoed a few sentences with a face of approval.
Su Qingping's face gradually became firm, and she said to herself, it must be that her aunt did not know that Mrs. Zhao introduced such a marriage to her! No way! She must think of a way, and she must not sit still!
**◆**
After the boudoir class was over, Nangong Yue was worried about Lin's situation, so she rushed to Lin's Qianyun courtyard in a hurry.
"Miss San is out of class?" As soon as she entered the courtyard, Nanny Liu greeted her immediately, she seemed to be in a good mood, "This old slave pays respects to Miss San."
Nangong Yue breathed a sigh of relief, looking at Mammy Liu's appearance, it was obvious that her grandmother did not embarrass her mother.
"Grandma, no courtesy." Nangong Yue hurriedly said, then pulled Liu Nanny aside, and asked in a low voice, "Is my mother okay? Mammy, do you know what the old lady said to my mother today..."
Nangong Yue obviously had something to point at, and Liu Nanny thought about the matter of Hong'er and Cui'er before, and guessed that Nangong Yue knew a lot, so she tentatively said: "It seems that the third girl has heard about it too?"
"You don't need to hide it from me, mother, the mansion is so big, so there's nothing you can hide from it." Nangong Yue said.
Nanny Liu closed her smile and sighed, "The old lady left the second lady to talk today, and she won't blame the second lady for the matter of intercourse, but if the second lady can't conceive a child within half a year, her old lady will I will choose a good concubine for the second master."
Nangong Yue was not surprised by Su's decision. In her previous life, Su Qingping became her father's good concubine in this way, and was able to straighten her up after her mother passed away... What she cares about is the time given by Su's, half a year, she There is still half a year left to change my mother's fate! My mother's health is much better now, and these six months should be enough for me to take care of her body and conceive a child!
