Chapter 71: Borrowing a child(2/2)

The little girl tremblingly took three steps and two steps at a time, then knelt down when she came in: "Mrs. Qi, it's Sister Shuangzhi. She asked me to keep an eye on the East Mansion. Just now, the old man's sedan entered the door of the mansion. I was afraid of causing trouble, so I came here.

Report."

"Humph, I guess you'll be good." Shuangzhi waved his hand towards her, and the little girl Rumeng Dasheng hurriedly bent down and retreated.

"Madam, there was news from Qingliu at that time. Our uncle called Zhiliu into the study. He probably won't be able to come out in a while." Qingliu and Zhiliu were two bookboys serving Hu Xida. Although they were both boys, they looked alike.

Feminine.

When she first entered the Hu Mansion, there were mostly male servants serving her. She was happy because she thought this would save her from having to be wary of those charming maids.

Unexpectedly, Hu Xida turned out to be a manly man.

She intentionally broke into it several times, but after making a fuss, it remained the same.

She once went to her parents' house to cry, but her father treated her like water being thrown away, and blamed her for not being able to win over her husband's heart. Instead, she was laughed at by her concubine sisters.

She, who had always been domineering and aloof, had never experienced such humiliation. She slept with tears every night, and finally made her understand: If you don't have power, even your biological parents won't want to see you.

She needs power and support.

Hu Xida didn't want to see him or let her have a baby, so she found someone else to give birth to. She didn't like the young guards. Although Hu Liangyong was about the same age as her father, he was wearing a purple robe and was a close minister of the emperor. If he had to protect him, he would still have a bright future.

?

Therefore, he often went in and out of Dongfu and frequently paid greetings to Hu Liangyong.

It was rainy and wet today, so the emperor went to court early, and Hu Liangyong also returned to his mansion early. As soon as he finished taking a bath, he saw his nephew and daughter-in-law arriving.

He originally had a wife, but she died of illness last year. He once went to court to obtain a royal decree for his wife and swore not to remarry. He only had a few concubines in the family. Perhaps because of his evil intentions and too many evil deeds, he never gave birth to a child.

They only raised half a son and a daughter, Hu Xida, his brother's posthumous son, as his own son.

He saw his nephew's absurdity with his eyes. He had beaten him and scolded him, but his evil habit was that he would never change. He couldn't really beat him to death, so he said to his nephew's wife, Mrs. Xie,

There are many caretakers.

Today, Ms. Xie is wearing a double-breasted white silk skirt, with only a silver hairpin and a white camellia in her hair.

Hu Liangyong was very moved after seeing this. Although this nephew's wife had a reputation of being domineering, she was very respectful to him and his deceased wife, and she had been filial piety for a full year.

As the saying goes, if you want to be pretty, you must dress in filial piety. Today, Mrs. Xie specially chose this dress.

"Uncle, good luck. It's cold today and this soup is nourishing, so I brought it to you specially."

Mr. Xie said it humbly, filled the soup with bare hands, and served it with both hands.

Although Hu Liangyong was suspicious, his words sounded right. "Xida's wife is interested," he said and took it with a smile.

Seeing that Hu Liangyong didn't drink, Mrs. Xie continued, "Last night, my aunt suddenly came to sleep. She was worried that you would have no one to serve you on a cloudy and rainy day. She ordered her nephew and daughter-in-law to come to say hello more often in the morning and evening. When I woke up this morning, she specially stewed a pot of ginseng soup, and also

Please uncle, drink it while it's hot."

Hearing that Ms. Xie cooked it herself, Hu Liangyong couldn't bear to offend her, so he picked up the soup bowl and took a few sips.
