The Tai Madam, Mrs. Zhang, the Second Master, the Second Madam, the Third Master and others in the Pingnan Hou Mansion could only shake their legs from exhaustion and were so hungry that they watched eagerly as Feng Zhongliang and his wife went to take care of Wei Yuanniang. .
"...Sister-in-law really has a good slave!"
"No, in order to take care of their 'eldest lady', I can't even take care of my own son!"
It is not easy for the second lady and the third lady to still have the energy to gossip despite being embarrassed and weak.
Mrs. Zhang: ... It is indeed an inefficient lamp. What time has it been, and yet she is still watching the fun and making sarcastic remarks.
They didn't even think about whose slaves were busy waiting on them along the way.
Mrs. Zhang felt very unsatisfied, and the second and third wives were still complaining: If the eldest brother hadn't caused trouble this time, would the second and third wives have suffered along with him
If you don't do it right, you will end up seizing the title, confiscating your home, and killing all the nine tribes.
I didn’t expect that after the incident broke out this time, the natal families of the female relatives did not lend a helping hand.
Although the Marquis of Pingnan has not yet been convicted, and his family was only escorted to the capital to await trial, the Southwest was defeated, and the whereabouts of Marquis Pingnan were unknown, and he was suspected of collaborating with the enemy. Emperor Chengtai was furious, and even his wife, who was so old, was implicated. .
Pingnanhou Mansion is probably in big trouble.
Therefore, the natal family of the wife and other female relatives all chose to wait and see. Once a critical moment came, they would find ways to cut off from the Hou Mansion.
When the Hou Mansion was being escorted to Beijing, no one came to help. Only Feng Zhongliang, a fool who had escaped from his lowly status, took care of him in every possible way.
"Oh, you are indeed a sister-in-law. She has raised slaves, each one more loyal than the last!"
"Oh, look at this little slave, he looks pretty good!"
The second lady and the third lady were tired and hungry, and their resentment towards the big house had reached its peak.
They even began to express their anger at the little boy who was left behind by He Tiantian, the male protagonist Wei Yanting.
Of course, now Wei Yanting is just Feng Yanting, a smart child of four or five years old.
Suddenly leaving his mother, whom he relied on most, and being surrounded by so many strangers, Feng Yanting felt a little timid.
His instinct is to look for familiar people.
Turning his little head and looking around, Feng Yanting saw someone he knew.
Mrs. Zhang
Yes, he recognized it. The nobles of the Hou Mansion liked him very much. In the past, grandma would take him to pay his respects to his wife every few days.
Every time he went to the Hou Mansion, he could eat a lot of beautiful and delicious things, as well as many gadgets that could not be bought outside.
In addition, Mrs. Zhang would hold him, coax him to talk, and teach him to recite poems and articles.
If he can memorize it well, his wife will secretly give him some golden melon seeds, golden peanuts or rubies and sapphires.
Mrs. Zhang has made an appointment with him. This is a little secret between them and no one can tell it.
Even his parents didn't know that there was a box of treasures hidden in Feng Yanting's box where he kept his toys.
However, no matter how close Mrs. Zhang is, she is still an outsider.
Feng Yanting's eyes stayed on her for a moment, then quickly turned away, and finally fell on Aunt Zhao.
He bit a chubby, white and tender finger and shouted in a sweet voice: "Grandma!"
"Oh, my dear, your parents are so careless, how could they have left you behind?"
Aunt Zhao quickly bent down and picked up Feng Yanting.
"Are you hungry? Are you thirsty?" Aunt Zhao asked a series of questions while scanning Feng Yanting up and down with her eyes.
Mrs. Zhang didn't say anything, but looked at her with concern.
Feng Yanting nodded obediently and shook his head: "I'm hungry, but not thirsty."
Hearing what he said, Mrs. Zhang and Aunt Zhao felt very distressed. They wished they could pull "Gu Xiuniang" over and question her: How did you become a mother? Don’t even know how to feed your children? !
However, before Mrs. Zhang and Aunt Zhao ran to find fault with He Tiantian, He Tiantian stabbed the master and servant again.
He saw He Tiantian running out from the other side in a hurry, with a little joy on his face.
After seeing Mrs. Zhang, she didn't forget to reply, "Madam, that's great. The doctor gave the eldest lady medicine and re-bandaged it. The eldest lady has woken up!"
Mrs. Zhang:…
It's okay, it's just a small injury on the face, but it won't die!
On the contrary, she, Mrs. Hou, had a pair of feet that were going to be broken, and she was in excruciating pain.
There is also a growling stomach. Oh my god, in the past, Mrs. Hou often dieted in order to maintain a slim figure.
But now, Mrs. Zhang feels that if she really gets a cow, she will probably eat it all!
It was too late for Mrs. Zhang to take care of herself or feel sorry for her son. How could she have the leisure to care about a child from a slave family
Mrs. Zhang is not a vicious person, but the inherent sense of hierarchy has long been engraved in her bones.
Although she said that she regarded Aunt Zhao as her biological mother, deep down in her heart, she still clearly remembered that Aunt Zhao was her wet nurse and the son of their Zhang family.
Mrs. Zhang has clear boundaries when it comes to treating a wet nurse who breastfeeds her and treats her heart and soul, let alone a brat like Wei Yuanniang.
When the Hou Mansion was in bloom, Mrs. Zhang was in a good mood and was willing to give Wei Yuanniang a rich and comfortable life.
But it's not like he's his own flesh and blood, but like he's teasing a pet.
Looking at it from the outside, it seems that there is a bit of deep affection between mother and daughter.
But now that the Hou Mansion is in trouble, Mrs. Zhang has too much time to take care of herself, and Wei Yuanniang and others are just like a burden—
Without Wei Yuanniang, Nanny Zhao could still support and serve her with her personal maid.
As a result, in order to prevent others from gossiping or finding anything unusual, Mrs. Zhang not only had to double her motherly love to Wei Yuanniang, but also assigned a Aunt Zhao to take care of her!
It's really... it makes people angry just thinking about it.
Then, something even more angry happened.
After He Tiantian said this, he hurried to the kitchen of the inn.
Not long after, she came back carrying a steaming bowl with the aroma of meat.
When passing by Mrs. Zhang, Aunt Zhao, Feng Yanting and others, He Tiantian did not forget to say softly to Feng Yanting: "Da Lang, this bowl of porridge is for the eldest lady. Madam is the benefactor of our family, and the eldest lady." She is Madam’s only child, we must take good care of her!”
Therefore, the only bowl of meat porridge can only be enjoyed by the eldest lady.
And Feng Yanting, who had always been treated as a darling and treasure by the original owner Gu Xiuniang, could only watch from the side with an hungry stomach and swallowing hard!
Mrs. Zhang & Aunt Zhao:…
It’s simply unbearable!
It has been several years. Although Feng Yanting left the Hou Mansion and was raised in a small family like the Feng family, his treatment was not bad.
Aunt Zhao was obviously partial and Mrs. Zhang secretly supported her. Feng Yanting's life was even better than that of Wei Yuanniang.
Anyway, with the identity of Aunt Zhao, Mrs. Hou's number one person, as a shield, even if Mrs. Zhang looked at a junior like Feng Yanting in a different light, outsiders would only think that she was doing it for Aunt Zhao's sake.
After the incident in the Hou Mansion, Feng Yanting's treatment has not been affected at all in the past month.
Feng Zhongliang was not a servant of the Hou Mansion, so he was not implicated.
Feng Yanting, the only son of the Feng family, was still well fed and clothed, and could still sit in the carriage, watching Wei Yuanniang stumble around and suffer along with the adults in a leisurely and comfortable manner!
Regarding this situation, both Mrs. Zhang and Aunt Zhao took it for granted.
Feng Yanting is a disciple of the Hou family and has a noble bloodline, so he should enjoy the best of everything.
It was enough to wrong him that he had to be sent out of the Marquis Mansion to be a child of a small family.
As for Wei Yuanniang, a slave girl, Mrs. Zhang and Aunt Zhao, the master and servant, did not feel anything was wrong even though they saw her endure hardship during the escort!
The class concept is not only possessed by the master Mrs. Zhang, but also by the enslavement brainwashing of Grandma Zhao, who looks down on herself.
He Tiantian: ... If you are willing to be a lowly slave, then go for it. Why use the life of an innocent child to fulfill your name of "loyalty"
Perhaps, in the eyes of ancient people, Grandma Zhao's approach is the most worthy of praise and publicity.
But He Tiantian disagrees.
However, loyalty and affection are indeed a good excuse.
Right
Mrs. Zhang and Aunt Zhao, who were so angry but speechless by He Tiantian's words, must have a profound understanding.
Feng Yanting pursed his lips. Although he felt aggrieved, he still nodded obediently, "Yes, grandma!"
"So good! I knew our eldest son was the most obedient!"
He Tiantian patted Feng Yanting's little head gently like a dog's head, and then ran to take care of Wei Yuanniang.
Before leaving, she did not forget to tell Aunt Zhao, "Mom, please feed Dalang some solid food. I put the things in the kitchen!"
Mrs. Zhang and Aunt Zhao both turned dark again.
Unfortunately, He Tiantian was already far away and could not see their expressions at all.
"Miss, be careful not to burn it, and eat slowly!"
He Tiantian held the porridge bowl and spoon, blowing gently while feeding Wei Yuanniang.
Wei Yuanniang hadn't eaten meat for many days, and suddenly she smelled the fishy smell. The originally weak person suddenly felt a little more energetic.
She chewed and swallowed greedily. Perhaps because of hunger, or perhaps because of her delusion, Wei Yuanniang felt that this bowl of porridge was more delicious than all the delicacies she had ever eaten.
Her little face had been covered, leaving only a pair of eyes and a mouth.
Outsiders couldn't see her expression, but He Tiantian had a strong soul and keen senses, and she could clearly feel the coldness emanating from Wei Yuanniang's body.
If colored gas could be used to represent emotions, then at this moment, Wei Yuanniang's little body was surrounded by a thick layer of black gas.
"Wow, what a strong negative energy."
Little D’s classmate was a little stunned and couldn’t help but jump out and say something.
There was nothing unusual about He Tiantian. She didn't seem to feel the black energy, let alone any cold feeling.
She just fed the food patiently, with a gentle expression and a hint of humility, as if a loyal slave was serving her most respected master!
Of course, while creating the character of "loyal servant", He Tiantian also did not forget to observe Wei Yuanniang secretly.
Although Wei Yuanniang was wrapped in white cloth at the moment, something could still be discovered through her exposed eyes.
He Tiantian keenly felt that Wei Yuanniang was indeed turning dark, but she did not seem to have a very clear target of hatred.
It stands to reason that if Wei Yuanniang fully awakens and knows her fate, then she should be filled with hatred.
And on her blacklist of enemies, "Gu Xiuniang", her own mother, is definitely on the list.
Because according to the description in the script, when Aunt Zhao later exposed Gu Xiuniang, she said that she disliked her for having a daughter and was greedy for the wealth of the Hou family, so she colluded with the slaves around Mrs. Hou and secretly exchanged the child.
Regardless of whether Gu Xiuniang favored sons over daughters or wanted to use the child to plot against the Hou family, she knew that Wei Yuanniang was actually her own flesh and blood.
However, after the disaster in the Hou Mansion, everyone was escorted to Beijing. After entering Beijing, they were imprisoned in the sky prison, sold, etc., and Wei Yuanniang suffered a lot.
Most of the time, Gu Xiuniang watched from the sidelines, but did not show any tenderness to Wei Yuanniang.
Even if Wei Yuanniang hadn't awakened, she would still resent Gu Xiuniang, her biological mother.
After Wei Yuanniang woke up, she knew that Gu Xiuniang had not taken the initiative to secretly replace the young master of the Hou family, but she still felt resentful towards Gu Xiuniang.
Because Gu Xiuniang still disliked her as a daughter and wanted to exchange her for a poor family.
In other words, no matter whether Wei Yuanniang is awakened or not, she cannot be calm towards the woman "Gu Xiuniang".
However, at this moment, Wei Yuanniang, who had clearly turned dark, looked at He Tiantian, but there were not many complicated emotions in her eyes, just pure curiosity and gratitude.
The situation is interesting. Why does Wei Yuanniang behave in such a contradictory manner
Perhaps, He Tiantian's guess was right. Wei Yuanniang had indeed awakened, but she also had inner demons. When the world of the novel was restarted, she deliberately forgot some things.
She simply felt pain, but did not know the source of the pain.
She will be wary of Mrs. Zhang, Aunt Zhao and others, but she doesn’t know why.
It seems to be an instinct, more like a subconscious warning.
Although Wei Yuanniang "forgot" certain truths, it does not mean that there is no danger.
Once He Tiantian's words and deeds irritate Wei Yuanniang, she may fully awaken and drag the entire small world to destruction.
Realizing this, He Tiantian was somewhat grateful for her plan.
Okay, okay, I guessed it right!
"Loyal Servant" or something like that has a great future.
"...I'm full! Grandma, thank you!"
Although Wei Yuanniang was very hungry, she was only a child of four or five years old.
She has a small appetite, so after drinking a full bowl of meat porridge, her belly suddenly bulged.
She gently pushed the spoon away and shyly thanked He Tiantian.
Feng Zhongliang is a good citizen. Because he does business, he will be called Uncle Feng politely.
As his wife, "Gu Xiuniang" is naturally also the eldest grandma of the Feng family.
In the past, when there was no trouble in the Hou Mansion, Gu Xiuniang went to greet Mrs. Zhang. When people in the house saw her, they would also call her "Grandma" to show their respect.
Therefore, it is not considered disrespectful to Wei Yuanniang to call her this way.
"Miss, Madam has treated our Feng family with great kindness. We are just doing our best now and we really don't deserve your gratitude!"
"In the past, we were overthinking it. We were afraid of causing trouble to the madam and the young lady, so we followed them covertly."
"As a result, the lady was injured today. We, the couple, are really sorry for the madam and the lady."
"... From now on, we won't be like this anymore. Anyway, everyone knows it well. If we cover it up again, it's just a joke!"
Therefore, He Tiantian will serve Wei Yuanniang "honestly" and support her like a little ancestor...
