It seemed that everyone had overlooked that before she came to Ruidinghou's mansion, she actually had another family.
Home is a far away place.
She didn't even know if she would have a chance to go back or see her parents and younger brother again.
Home is a topic that no one will mention to her.
Xiao Heng's casual words hit her heart and made her nose sore.
She lowered her head and whispered: "It has been thirteen days on the road, nineteen days since I have lived in the Marquis' Mansion, and it has been thirty-two days since I left home."
She clearly remembered how many days she had been away.
Xiao Heng was silent for a moment before continuing: "Your family members have been properly accommodated, so you can rest assured."
Gu Sui'er was a little surprised: "Thank you, Third Master."
Xiao Heng: "An An Xin is raising the baby in the house. If you need anything, you can ask Grandma An to tell me."
Gu Sui'er was even more surprised: "Thank you, Third Master."
Xiao Heng: "I have sent someone to inform your parents of the situation and reassure them."
Gu Sui'er raised her head in disbelief and said with surprise, "Thank you, Third Master."
And just when Gu Sui'er raised her head, Xiao Heng saw the sparkle in her clear and compelling eyes, like the white waves of the stream in the mountain stream, reflecting the sun and shining with joy.
Xiao Heng looked at her silently, and after a moment, he spoke.
"That night at the inn, I was harmed by an adulterer. I didn't expect that you would be implicated."
The voice was light, as if unintentional, but it was an explanation after all.
Gu Sui'er bit her lip, lowered her head, and her hands trembled slightly in her sleeves.
Of course she understands that in the eyes of many people, she is just a lowly village girl. If others are unhappy with her like this, they will raise their hands like crushing an ant.
Whatever the reason, she was spoiled, made pregnant, and brought to this strange place.
But no one cares about these.
People don't care what an ant thinks.
So no one would explain anything to her, and she was confusedly regarded as the "third master" woman.
Of course, no one would ask her if she was willing.
Xiao Heng saw Gu Sui'er's lowered eyelashes trembling like butterfly wings, and her little hands gently twisting the corners of her clothes.
"If you have any request, I-" Xiao Heng paused and said, "I can do whatever I can."
This is compensation for her.
Gu Sui'er lowered her head. Of course she understood Xiao Heng's words.
It's just that she doesn't need to compensate for anything.
Once she reached Yanjing City, there was no turning back. When she entered Ruidinghou Mansion, she had to make the calculations a concubine should have.
"Third Master." Her hands stopped twisting her clothes, and she finally bravely raised her head in front of him: "Thank you, Third Master, I don't need anything..."
After thinking for a while, she stroked her belly; "What I'm thinking about now, and what I think about every day, is just the child in my belly."
She wanted to ask the tadpole in her belly for something, but she couldn't tell him what to ask for, so she could only remind him like this.
When Xiao Heng heard this, his eyes moved slightly downward and fell on her belly.
He just stared at her belly for a while, and finally said, "How long until she gives birth?"
Gu Sui'er: "There are still more than three months."
Xiao Heng was silent for a while, and then suddenly stretched out his hand.
Gu Sui'er was a little surprised at first, but then she realized that he wanted to touch her belly.
She didn't feel very comfortable, but she still gritted her teeth gently and didn't dare to move.
His finger bones were very long, almost as long as her hands. They were neat and well-maintained. At first glance, they looked like the hands of a rich man, full of nobility.
The hands touched her belly gently.
Gu Sui'er was nervous, but she knew there weren't many opportunities like this.
This third master is very busy and may not have time to pay attention to the child in his belly in the future, so he must work hard to make him remember this child.
"He, he can still move..." She whispered, and gently pushed the side of her belly, hoping that the child would be able to move for Xiao Heng.
However, maybe it was the wrong time. The usually lively little tadpole had no intention of moving at this time.
Gu Sui'er was extremely disappointed and a little depressed.
"He is usually very active..."
"fine."
There was still no expression on his face, his deep eyes were very calm, and there was no trace of disappointment.
Gu Sui'er bit her lip, thinking to herself that maybe he wasn't interested in Dongfang at all.
Xiao Heng: "Go to sleep, it's almost dawn outside."
Gu Sui'er: "Yes, Third Master."
Xiao Heng: "You take a rest for a while. I will go to the old lady to say hello later. You go with me."
Gu Sui'er: "Yes, Third Master."
She silently returned to her room and lay down. The tadpoles in Gu Sui'er's belly started to kick up excitedly.
Gu Sui'er touched her belly, recalling Xiao Heng's expressionless face, and thought to herself that the little tadpole probably didn't like to see this "father" whom he really didn't know well.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Nanny An was so sleepy that she couldn't even open her eyes, but when she heard that Xiao Heng was going to take Gu Sui'er to visit the old lady, she was so excited that she couldn't sleep at all, and she has been carefully serving Gu Sui'er.
Looking at the dawn outside, she began to take out her clothes and headdress, preparing to dress up Gu Sui'er.
Gu Sui'er's original clothes had naturally been thrown away long ago. The outfits she often wears now were specially made by people under Madam Hou's orders. In addition to the jewelry, a pair of beads and flowers and two hairpins given by Madam Hou, there are also Some of the things given by people were golden and expensive at first sight. Aunt An would wear them in turn to match the clothes of the day.
The dress she chose for Gu Sui'er today was aqua green. Taking advantage of her long black hair, which was fresh and delicate in color, Grandma An specially picked a beaded flower carved from white jade for Gu Sui'er to wear.
Looking carefully, the skin is as white as snow, and the clothes are fresh and light green, which reminds me of the slim saplings that sprouted in the spring, young, slim and beautiful.
"Young lady, you look so pretty. No wonder the third master likes you. In fact, I think our old lady and Madam Hou also favor you!"
Gu Sui'er listened without saying a word, but she was thinking in her heart, will the third master like her
She felt that the third master was a good man, and he really took good care of a weak and stupid woman like her who came from a poor family. He even told her about his family.
However, she also knew that the third master definitely didn't like her.
What does liking mean? Gu Sui'er thought of Brother Shitou in the village.
Brother Shitou loves to smile to himself.
Catching fish by the river, he caught the fish, stepped on the crystal water and smiled at himself with his white teeth exposed. She thought that was what he liked.
After getting Gu Sui'er dressed up, Nanny An said she wanted to see when the third master would come over. Who knew that as soon as she went out, she saw the third master already standing outside in the yard.
She was startled at that moment, and quickly asked the little maid Jingyue next to her: "When did the third master come out, why didn't he say anything?"
Jingyue whispered: "I came out a long time ago. I heard that the young lady was still dressing in the room, so I didn't let her be disturbed."
Nanny An stamped her feet; "You're such an ignorant girl. If the Third Master doesn't let you, you won't report it. How can we make the Third Master wait!"
Jingyue shrank in fear: "Okay... I understand."
Aunt An couldn't help but said: "Little madam, let's go, we have to hurry, we can't let the third master wait for us."
Seeing Xiao Heng waiting outside, Gu Sui'er was a little nervous and hurried out.
After going out, I saw Xiao Heng standing tall and straight in the courtyard, wearing a crimson robe that made his face look like jade. He stood in the courtyard with a cold face, like an ice man on a snow-capped mountain.
Gu Sui'er felt a little scared when she saw Xiao Heng like this.
She lived to be sixteen and had never seen anyone like this.
Xiao Heng glanced at Gu Sui'er slightly.
His eyes stayed on Gu Sui'er's face for a while, then nodded: "Let's go."
After finishing speaking, he strode forward.
When Gu Sui'er saw it, she quickly followed behind with her belly in her hands.
At first, it was a little difficult for her to follow, but after leaving the yard, she felt that the person in front of her was obviously walking in long strides, but in fact, she was not walking very fast.
This saves her energy in following him, and she can slowly follow him a few steps behind.
When he reached a crescent door in the middle, he stopped and looked at her.
She didn't understand and looked at him blankly.
He waved.
She still didn't understand, but she followed the order and took a few steps forward.
He reached out to support her and led her through the crescent door.
Only then did Gu Sui'er realize that the Crescent Moon Gate was a circular door, and the lower threshold was a little higher than the ordinary steps.
If she wanted to take that step herself, she would have to hold on to the door next to her.
She immediately understood his intention and glanced at him gratefully.
I thought to myself that although this person looks like an iceberg, he is actually really good.
Everyone in the village knew that something like this had happened to her, and knew that she felt uncomfortable, so they all agreed not to mention it again. The long-tongued women also urged each other to hold back and stop talking.
But when Gu Sui'er worked, she became more and more clumsy. When it was time to pull weeds, she hoeed the ground, and when it was time to water, she seemed to step into the river with one step.
In addition to this, she has been unable to eat and is very thin.
Gu Sui'er's parents did not allow her to work in the fields and only allowed her to be raised at home. When she did not go to the fields, she chopped wild vegetables to feed the pigs, tidied the front and back of the house, and mended clothes for the family members.
But on this day, Gu Sui'er, who was chopping vegetables, suddenly fainted.
By the time Gu Suier's parents got home, she had been lying next to the cutting board for who knows how long.
Gu Sui'er's parents were so frightened that they hurried to the town to invite a doctor. When the doctor came, he felt Gu Sui'er's pulse for a long time, but was stunned for a moment, and finally said: "This is pregnancy." On."
The doctor frowned when he saw that Gu Sui'er was not wearing the usual woman's bun. But he didn't say anything.
After sending the doctor away, Gu Sui'er's father sat on the stone pillar in front of the house without saying a word. Mother Gu Sui'er shed tears again. She has shed all her tears these days: "What should I do now! Why is Sui'er's life so miserable!"
Gu Suier's brother stood there in a daze, not knowing what to do. He is five years younger than Gu Sui'er and is only ten years old now.
Gu Sui'er's father was silent for a long time, and finally made up his mind and said: "We can't have this child. After this child is gone and the news has passed, let's find another family for Sui'er. There are many bachelors in the nearby villages. Someone who can find the right family.”
Gu Sui'er listened and knew in her heart that this was the only way to go, but after all, she thought about the originally excellent marriage, which was envied by many people in the village, but now it is gone, and Sui'er's current reputation will never spread again. , who can I still marry in the future
Even if it's the daughter of He Li's second marriage, or the widow who lost her husband, that's a serious matter, and there's no shame in telling it. But Gu Sui'er was hard to talk about.
At this time, Gu Sui'er woke up in a daze, not knowing what had happened.
Gu Sui'er's mother quickly went to get a bowl of rice soup, fed it to Gu Sui'er, and said softly: "Good girl, you are sick, drink this rice quickly, and mother will go to the kitchen to cook something delicious for you right away." of."
Gu Sui'er was indeed hungry, which she hadn't been for a long time, so she took it and drank it.
After finishing the rice soup, Gu Sui'er's mother did not go to the kitchen to cook. Instead, she just told Gu Bao'er to cook some food, while she hurried to Aunt Wang's house next door.
Second Aunt Wang's family had four sons and three daughters. She gave birth to one child a year, and she was so worried that she would not be able to feed them. Later, she did not know what method she found, and she never had any more children.
Gu Suier thought that the doctor had already left, so why not ask Aunt Wang first.
Aunt Wang was shocked when she heard Gu Suier's explanation of her purpose: "Oh, this is an evil act! How could such a thing happen to a girl's family?"
Mrs. Gu Sui'er wiped her tears and said, "You can't tell others about this matter. Her second aunt, I have no choice but to ask you now."
Second Aunt Wang lowered her head and thought for a moment, then said: "I have a recipe here. My husband's aunt asked for it from a nunnery on the mountain. I spent a lot of money on sesame oil for it. Now that I've given it to you, you can't Side story."
After hearing this, Mrs. Gu Sui'er was naturally very grateful. At that moment, Aunt Wang lifted up the bedding on the kang, and saw only a mat underneath, with a yellow square under the mat.
She handed it to Madam Gu Sui'er with great care, and warned: "You can't let outsiders know, but you must remember it and return it after you use it."
Gu Suier felt grateful in her heart and nodded repeatedly.
After returning home, Gu Sui'er's mother gave this prescription to Gu Sui'er's father and secretly said from the side: "Hurry up and go to the town again and ask the doctor to take the medicine according to this. Now we don't use his prescription." Son, it saves money."
Gu Sui'er's father took it and looked down, but he couldn't understand it. Their family was illiterate.
Gu Sui'er's father immediately put on his clothes, folded the yellowed paper and put it in his arms, and then went out on the road.
Gu Sui'er's mother went over to talk to Gu Sui'er for a while and comforted her casually. At this time, Gu Sui'er's brother had already cooked the rice. He just heated up the old thick flour cake and put it in the pot again. I put some rice in it and made a pot of soup. Gu Sui'er couldn't eat anything after drinking the bowl of rice soup just now. Gu Sui'er's mother had no appetite.
The whole family didn't eat either, and they all sat there in a daze. After a while, Gu Sui'er finally said, "Where's my dad?"
Gu Sui'er's mother smiled quickly and said, "Your father is in town to do something."
Gu Sui'er felt a little strange, but she didn't say anything.
She was lazy and had no strength. In the end she could only close her eyes and lean on the bed to rest.
After noon, Gu Sui'er's father finally came back, holding a yellow paper bag tied with a thin hemp rope. Gu Sui'er knew it was medicine.
Gu Sui'er's mother took the yellow paper bag and said to Gu Sui'er: "You are weak now. I asked your father to go to the town to get you some medicine. You can just take it and you will be fine."
Gu Sui'er glanced at the yellow paper bag and whispered: "I will be able to work in the fields in a few days. Don't spend money to buy me medicine."
Madam Gu Sui'er said hurriedly: "Didn't you faint? The doctor prescribed it, so naturally I won't buy it for you in the future."
Saying this, Gu Suier's mother hurriedly went out to make medicine.
Brother Gu Sui'er bit his lip and said nothing. After standing there like a pillar for a long time, he finally went out.
When the sun set, the medicine was ready. Gu Sui'er's mother brought it over and handed it to Gu Sui'er: "Here, drink the medicine, Sui'er."
Brother Gu Sui'er heard it from the steps outside and couldn't help but open his eyes wide.
At this moment, Gu Sui'er only felt uncomfortable in her stomach and had nausea in her throat. However, the medicine her mother worked so hard for was bought with money, so she took it and drank it while enduring the nausea.
Gu Sui'er's mother stared at Gu Sui'er without blinking, but after drinking the medicine for a long time, Gu Sui'er remained motionless.
Madam Gu Sui'er couldn't help but wonder, does this work
At this moment, Gu Sui'er suddenly felt nauseated, stood up suddenly, and lay on the bed. With a sound of "ah", a lot of black concoction came out of her mouth.
Gu Sui'er's mother hurried over to support her and help Gu Sui'er beat her back.
Gu Sui'er's brother also ran in quickly.
Gu Sui'er vomited to the point of tears. She lay on the bed and looked up at herself with clear, confused and helpless eyes: "Mom, I'm so useless. I spit out the medicine you worked so hard for."
Gu Suier's wife looked at her daughter blankly, wondering if she had spit out all the medicine? Did you leave some in your stomach
Or should we ask Gu Sui'er's father to go to the town to grab some medicine
Just as she was thinking about it, Gu Sui'er suddenly turned pale. She held her stomach in pain: "Mom, my stomach hurts!"
Gu Suier's wife was startled, exclaimed, and rushed forward to hug her daughter.
But Gu Sui'er was rolling around on the bed in pain, sweat dripping from her forehead.
Gu Sui'er's brother saw his sister was in so much pain that he was so anxious that he asked his mother, "Mom, what kind of medicine is this? Why does my sister hurt so much?"
Gu Suier's mother wiped her tears, thinking that there was a piece of meat in her belly. If the meat fell off, it would naturally hurt!
Gu Sui'er's father heard the commotion inside, but this was his daughter's family matter after all, and he couldn't go in, so he could only sit outside on the stone pillar and worry.
Gu Sui'er struggled on the bed for a long time, and finally her stomach pain stopped. Some mucus flowed out from her lower body, and the panties inside were soaked.
Gu Sui'er's mother hurriedly drove Gu Sui'er's brother out and helped Gu Sui'er clean up.
There is some redness in the underpants, but not much.
Gu Sui'er's mother was a little confused. She helped Gu Sui'er lie down first and asked Gu Sui'er's brother to feed Gu Sui'er something to eat. She took the obscene pants and didn't wash them first. I went to Aunt Wang’s house next door.
When Aunt Wang saw the obscene pants, she knew it was done, but when she looked at the blood on them, she was confused: "With such an idea of blood, I'm afraid it won't be done, right?"
Madam Gu Sui'er became anxious when she heard this: "Why didn't it happen? Then where did this blood come from?"
Second Aunt Wang thought for a while and finally said: "Maybe I beat the wrongdoer, but only half of it. I'm afraid it's still in her stomach now."
After hearing this, Madam Gu Suier's eyes immediately widened.
There's still half of it in the stomach, what's going on
After Gu Sui'er's mother returned, she told Gu Sui'er's father about the matter.
Gu Sui'er's father's face turned dark with anxiety. As he spoke, he was about to get dressed and go to the town to find a doctor.
Gu Sui'er's mother hurriedly grabbed Gu Sui'er's father and said, "It's already dark today, so you should take a rest. Besides, I don't know what my daughter is doing. I'm afraid she won't be able to bear it if I give her another dose of medicine." We’ll live there. We’ll see how many days it takes.”
Gu Sui'er's father looked at Gu Sui'er lying silently in the room, sighed, and finally stopped.
Gu Sui'er's brother was guarding Gu Sui'er. At this time, Gu Sui'er's face was as pale as a white paper, there was sweat on her forehead, and her hair was stuck to her forehead. Even in her sleep, she still seemed to be in pain and frowning.
Gu Sui'er's brother raised his hand and wiped Gu Sui'er's sweat.
Gu Sui'er's mother entered the room and looked at Gu Sui'er lying in front of her. She suddenly remembered Gu Sui'er's dewy appearance in the past and burst into tears.
What evil has been done!
