The more Aunt Mei thought about it, the more terrifying she became, and she broke into a cold sweat all over her body.
Seeing this, Mrs. Zhou relaxed wholeheartedly: "Sister, it's not that I'm talking about you. These four young ladies have been promoted step by step. In the future, King Xuanqing will be extremely powerful. The master is under pressure from King Xuanqing and will not treat the young master well. Damn it, if the one you have in your belly now is a young master, wouldn’t he have a brother to favor him?" Seeing Aunt Mei's surprise, she smiled: "We women don't talk about anything else, no. Is it just to have a son to support me? My child has been lost. Sister... you better plan carefully."
Aunt Mei fell into deep thought. What Zhou said was true. Her whole life was indeed for her support. Even if she was really not pregnant, she could not watch Zhuang Han grow up day by day and eventually become the master of the Zhuang Mansion. . Once these siblings take control of the Zhuang Mansion, how can they live a good life
Zhou smiled, patted her clothes, and stood up: "My sister is heavy, so I will leave first, so as not to disturb my sister's rest." After saying that, she stood up, turned around and walked away.
"Stop." Aunt Mei suddenly said.
Mrs. Zhou happened to walk to the door. When she heard Aunt Mei's words, a smile broke out on her face. Then she slowly turned around and looked at Aunt Mei: "What's wrong?"
"What can you do?" Aunt Mei's face at this time could no longer be described as ugly, and the look she looked at Mrs. Zhou was not as condescending as before. On the contrary, at this time, she felt a deep feeling about her future. Deep worry.
Mrs. Zhou asked all the servants in the room to go away and closed the door. Only the maid who was close to her was left. Then she sat down in front of the couch and poured herself a cup of tea: "Sister, the matter is actually very simple..."
After Mrs. Zhou left, Jiaomeng beat Aunt Mei's legs and said, "Aunt Mei really plans to cooperate with her?"
Aunt Mei sneered, Zhou's method was good, at least it was feasible to attack Zhuang Hanyan, but her efforts were in vain? This is also not possible. She looked at her belly and gently stroked it with one hand: "I also want to try killing two birds with one stone."
Han Yan closed her eyes and listened to what Ji Lan found out about Zhou entering the Furong Garden. After sending everyone away, they were left alone to talk secretly in the room. Ji Lan said anxiously: "Miss, now that you have just returned home, Aunt Zhou has acted like this. I'm afraid they want to harm you."
Han Yan pondered for a moment: "You said when they were spying, besides Aunt Zhou and Aunt Mei, was there anyone else?"
Ji Lan said: "There is also Aunt Mei's stand-in maid, Jiao Meng." Seeing Han Yan frowning, Ji Lan quickly said: "Jiao Meng is Aunt Mei's dowry maid, and it is said that she is Aunt Mei's confidant. This girl is soft He is very loyal to Aunt Mei." Ji Lan is familiar with all the servants in the Zhuang Mansion, so he is naturally well versed in news: "But Jiao Meng is really difficult to deal with. Even the maids in Furong Garden are all I don’t like her. But Aunt Mei dotes on her, so no one dares to bully her.”
Han Yan nodded. This Jiao Meng was actually loyal to Aunt Mei. How could she make Jiao Meng willingly betray Aunt Mei? Han Yan took a deep breath and asked Ji Lan: "Do you know who else is in Jiao Meng's family?"
Ji Lan was stunned for a moment, then thought for a moment and replied: "Jiao Meng has an old father in her family and a brother of hers. His brother sells tea in the capital and is living a pretty good life."
Han Yan thought for a moment and then ordered: "Jilan, I want you to do something important."
Ji Lan was stunned: "What's the matter?"
Han Yan leaned over and said a few words in her ear. Ji Lan nodded and left quickly. Shu Hong was waiting quietly on the side. Although her injuries had healed a lot these days, Han Yan still didn't want her to do some rough and tiring work. Seeing her being so calm at the moment, and thinking of Ji Lan's words, she suddenly felt like teasing her. He deliberately said loudly: "Shu Hong, you are also sixteen this year."
Shu Hong didn't expect Han Yan to suddenly mention this. She was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "Yes."
"It's time to get married. Do you have someone you like?" Han Yan asked casually, and Shu Hong's face turned red.
"Miss... Miss, I have never thought about getting married." It was rare to see Shu Hong, who had always been calm, so nervous. Han Yan became more and more interested. She knew that when she left, Fu Yunxi sent Mu Yan to protect her. Mu Yan should be hiding in a corner now, and his words could be heard.
"How can I not get married?" Han Yan said seriously: "How about when I marry Princess Xuanqing, let the prince take you as a concubine?" This was just a joke, let alone Fu Yunxi's refusal. , even Han Yan himself would not be able to take the initiative to insert a woman next to Fu Yunxi.
Unexpectedly, after hearing these words, Shu Hong suddenly knelt down in front of Han Yan, her voice choked with sobs: "Miss, if you have such thoughts, I'm afraid Shu Hong is not qualified. Shu Hong... Shu Hong would rather die."
This was beyond Han Yan's expectation, and even Mu Yan, who was paying attention to their movements on the roof, couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this. You know, it is the dream of many maids to have a maid as a dowry and become the concubine of the male master. Those maids climbed onto their master's bed just to promote themselves. As for being Fu Yunxi's concubine, I am afraid that many ladies from famous families would be happy to do so. Regardless of Fu Yunxi's status, his personal demeanor alone is enough to dazzle those individuals. But Shu Hong would rather die than become Fu Yunxi's concubine.
Shu Hong raised her head and said firmly: "I would rather be a wife of a poor family than a concubine of a high family. Miss, I have been following the slave for so many years. I have seen a lot of things in the big house. The aunts compete for favor, and it is not only the children who are harmed. I don’t want to be rich or famous in this life, I’m just willing to follow the young lady, and I’ll be satisfied if I see the young lady live a peaceful and happy life.”
These words were so sincere that Han Yan couldn't bear it. She couldn't bear that such a good girl was just by her side, wasting her youth in vain. It was not enough for her to be happy. Only when the people around her were happy, that would be enough. true happiness. Thinking of this, Han Yan said to Shu Hong: "You will always get married. Even if you don't get married, I can't bear to tie you to me. Shu Hong, you have been with me for so many years, and there is no place in your life." It's only me, and you should have your own happiness. The same goes for Ji Lan, you can stay with me, but you also have to get married, and women always have to find someone to rely on. "
Shu Hong and Ji Lan followed Han Yan for two lives. In their last life, they sacrificed their happiness for themselves. Loyal servants are rare. Han Yan would do anything to find a happy future for them. Hearing what Han Yan said, Shu Hong wanted to refuse, but Han Yan made a serious face: "You don't need to say any more, I have already decided. Shu Hong, if you get married, what kind of person are you looking for?" People?"
