Ever since the old lady said that the third master of the house was coming back, Sui'er's life has been uncomfortable.
Eating doesn't taste good, and sleeping doesn't feel good either.
She looked at the elegantly decorated courtyard and touched the soft summer mattress. She felt uncomfortable when she thought that these things belonged to the third master and she only occupied them temporarily.
It is said that the third master is an honest child... But what does an honest child look like
Sui'er thought of those eyes again, panting hard in the darkness, staring deeply into her own eyes, feeling as if she was being stared at by a wolf while walking in the mountains.
Because that night, she was pregnant with a tadpole and was looked down upon by others. Then she came to Yanjing City and was treated with all kinds of courtesy and blessings.
The people here are different from the people in Gujiazhuang in the countryside. No one seems to have asked why she was pregnant with the third master's child, and no one has asked how she came to know the third master. Everyone agreed. Because she is the third master's woman.
She is the third master's wife, so of course she lives in the third master's yard and enjoys being his maidservant.
But no one knows that she is not.
She didn't know the third master at all, or the "Aheng" the old lady called him. She didn't even know who he was, what his last name was, or his name was Aheng.
She didn't even know what he looked like.
All she remembered was those eyes that seemed to swallow her up in the darkness.
This kind of uneasiness and fear made her have trouble sleeping and eating. Even all kinds of rare delicacies and fine silks could not make her happy. Even when the old lady specially rewarded her with a pair of gold bracelets, she was Not very interested.
Until that night, she slept soundly. In the middle of the night, she suddenly heard something moving in the yard and opened her eyes.
In fact, she hasn't been sleeping well recently, and the baby in her belly is kicking from time to time. She always wakes up in the middle of the night.
She sat up and listened to the movement outside through the soft gauze curtain. She seemed to hear a man's voice. She was frightened when she heard Nanny An, who was sleeping next to her, come in.
"Madam, the third master is back, would you like to get up and pick him up?" Nanny An said eagerly.
"… good."
Sui'er was afraid of the third master, but she also knew that she had to get up and "pick up" the third master.
In the past ten days, Nanny An has always whispered something about the Hou Mansion in her ears. Of course she knew that it seemed that the Marquis had a concubine and a concubine, but his wife didn't like them, and the old lady didn't care about them, so she wasn't very popular in the house. Although he is not hungry, the fresh fruits and melons given by the palace will definitely not be enjoyed by the concubines and concubines.
What is a concubine and a concubine? It means a child born to a young lady, that is, a child born to a concubine.
And she herself is the concubine of the third master.
She came to this prosperous and beautiful place with the child in her belly. The reason why she left her hometown was to give her child a legitimate identity and a less shabby life.
Whether a child born to a concubine will be well received in the future depends on the concubine.
This is something that Nanny An has been nagging to her. She is confused but understands a little, but doesn't quite understand.
It’s right to get up now and try to please that third master, right
Sui'er was supported by Nanny An to get up and get dressed. When she went to the main room, she saw a man standing under the eaves of the main room, giving some instructions to the old slave in charge of the door in the yard.
Sui'er glanced over. It was dark and she couldn't see his face clearly. She only felt that the other person was tall and wearing brocade, so she knew that this was the "Third Master".
Now he walked up to him, bowed, and called in a low voice: "Sui'er pays homage to the third master."
After she said this, Grandma An behind her was stunned, and the man was also stunned.
Sui'er felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere and raised her head in confusion. When she raised her head, a man walked out of the room.
The man faced the watery moonlight, which made people see clearly. He saw purple robes and jade crowns, brocade clothes and gorgeous clothes. His eyes were full of splendor, and the style he walked with was beyond the comparison of ordinary people.
Sui'er raised her face and looked into his eyes.
A pair of eyes that are as dark as a cold pool behind a mountain in winter, and a few glances can send chills down your back.
There is no doubt that this is the third master.
She actually recognized the wrong person.
Her mind went blank, and she looked blankly at the person she had mistakenly identified just now, only to find that he was also standing there awkwardly, with a blushing face.
The courtyard was quiet, and everyone didn't know what to say.
Especially now, I always feel that the third master's face is a bit uglier than usual.
Finally, Nanny An had the courage to open her mouth and said, "Little, little madam, I haven't paid my respects to the third master yet."
Sui'er finally regained her composure amidst the urging. She stood there with her hands and feet tied, and said cautiously: "I have met the third master."
Compared to the one she made to her subordinates before, her voice now was obviously much softer, no louder than a mosquito's hum.
Behind her, Nanny An was anxious. Finally, the real owner arrived. Why did she call the bamboo next to her, "Third Master?" Who knows who you are calling!
Secretly stomping her feet, she raised her hand to pull off Gu Sui'er's clothes to remind her.
Who knew that at this moment, Xiao Heng said: "Your name is Sui'er?"
When he said this, he glanced at Gu Sui'er, and then landed on Gu Sui'er's belly.
When Gu Sui'er felt his gaze, her belly tightened and she subconsciously protected her belly.
The tadpole belongs to me, and it has been with me for several months.
But she also understood that the tadpole came from the man in front of her.
At this moment, she was a little scared, afraid that this man would snatch her tadpole away.
This is like a person who finds someone else's thing and wants to keep it as his own, but is afraid of the owner.
The man had no expression and couldn't tell what he meant, but Sui'er always felt that his eyes were cold. Such cold eyes had no warmth, so he should be unhappy.
Sui'er was afraid of this unhappy man.
The hands she held protecting her belly were shaking slightly.
Fortunately, Xiao Heng's eyes stayed for a moment and then moved away.
"Come in first."
Seeing Gu Sui'er purse her small mouth and look tense, as if she had no intention of answering, Xiao Heng turned around and went into the house after saying this.
When he entered the house and stepped over the threshold, his noble purple satin robe was lifted up slightly, showing an indescribable splendor and aura that Gu Sui'er, who was born in the countryside, had never seen before in his life.
She once thought that the officials in the town were already rich and powerful, but now she understood that those people were nothing in front of Xiao Heng.
Aunt An, who was behind her, gently tugged at the corner of Gu Sui'er's clothes and whispered, "Hurry in!"
Gu Sui'er woke up and wanted to follow him through the door.
Who knew that the threshold was higher than she expected. When she stepped onto the threshold, she accidentally knocked her embroidered shoe on the threshold. She immediately lost her balance and was about to fall down if her feet slipped.
When Grandma An behind her saw this scene, she was frightened and screamed. The guards and subordinates next to her also tensed up.
But at this moment, no one expected that Xiao Heng, who had already crossed the threshold and entered the house, suddenly reached out to support Gu Sui'er at what speed and at what angle. .
After the shock subsided, when everyone looked over, they saw Xiao Heng, who was still expressionless, holding Gu Sui'er's waist and looking at Gu Sui'er with a calm expression.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and then lowered their heads.
Gu Sui'er wanted to cry.
She knew she was stupid, but she had tried hard to perform well.
How could she first misidentify the third master, and then almost fall behind the third master
It doesn't matter if she falls, but what about the child in her belly
When she was thinking this way, she realized that the tadpole in her stomach seemed to be frightened, and started to kick up and down in her stomach, even hitting a place below her.
She frowned, subconsciously supporting the person next to her, and froze there without daring to move, waiting for the tadpole to pass.
Xiao Heng stared at the woman in front of him expressionlessly, watching her slightly open mouth, with a dazed expression as if she had been stabbed by someone.
She didn't move, and he didn't move either.
The scene was silent. Several subordinates who had followed Xiao Heng and had things to report stood there like pillars, their heads lowered and silent.
After a long time, Gu Sui'er finally felt that the tadpoles in her belly had passed. She carefully stroked her belly and murmured in a low voice: "Don't be afraid... It's okay... I didn't fall... Swim gently... "
Xiao Heng looked at the petite woman in front of him silently, listening to her small whispers in silence.
He didn't really understand, but he didn't say anything.
He just held her waist to prevent her from falling again.
The two of them were facing each other, one was stroking his belly and lowering his head and mumbling something, while the other was holding his waist and was silent, but he was confused when he saw Grandma An standing at the foot of the steps.
Because Gu Sui'er's voice was very low, Grandma An didn't hear what she was saying clearly, but she seemed to be mumbling something, and she felt anxious at the moment.
Don't offend the third master, we just met him!
She hesitated for a while, and finally couldn't help but boldly said: "My dear madam, it's a cold night outside, why don't you go in and wait for the third master to rest?"
When Grandma An mentioned it, Gu Sui'er finally remembered Xiao Heng's existence.
She subconsciously raised her head, and it happened that Xiao Heng was looking down at her, their eyes facing each other, as if a frightened deer had accidentally fallen into a deep, cold pool, and she was at a loss for a moment.
"Third Master, it's my fault..." She thought for a while and finally managed to squeeze out some words: "I almost fell..."
"Let's go inside first."
Xiao Heng's voice was as cold as ice and stone clashing, and there was no warmth in his voice.
"Yes, Third Master."
The threshold of the main room was higher than elsewhere for some reason. Gu Sui'er, who was pregnant with a big belly, walked into the house with some difficulty.
Xiao Heng's hand holding her waist let go after she crossed the threshold.
For a moment, everyone took their places. The subordinate guards stood under the eaves of the corridor. Aunt An came in to wait behind Gu Sui'er. Gu Sui'er stood uneasily beside Xiao Heng. The other maids and servants in the yard were also awake, although there were three In the middle of the night, everyone got up one after another, boiling water, and making tea.
Bao Ya and Jin Fu got the news from somewhere and quickly rushed over. Together with Gu Sui'er, they served Xiao Heng, serving tea and water and supper.
It seemed that Xiao Heng was hungry. He simply ate some warmed crystal buns and drank some soup before being withdrawn.
In the middle, he asked Gu Sui'er if she wanted to eat. Of course, she quickly shook her head.
Seeing this, Xiao Heng ordered: "Go back to your room and rest first."
When Gu Sui'er saw what he said, she obediently wanted to leave, but as soon as she took a step, she suddenly thought: "I'd better serve the Third Master by my side."
She didn't know what she should call herself. She didn't understand who she was in this yard or in Xiao Heng's eyes.
But when she heard Baoya Jinfu say that, it must be right, right
Because she seemed to have heard from Nanny An that the fourth master's biological mother was originally the maid in the Marquis's house, and later she slept with her and gave birth to the fourth master.
She vaguely felt that she was probably that kind of person. Maybe after Baoya slept with her once, she would be the same as her if she gave birth to a second and third son.
Xiao Heng glanced at her.
That glance made Gu Sui'er panic.
There is a kind of person who can make you feel that you are wrong, very wrong, just by looking at him.
