Sister Ying was plump, white and cute. Ms. Xie touched the baby's smooth forehead with some regret. The baby was sleeping soundly. When she was touched, she only subconsciously squirmed her pink mouth. She was still sleeping in a dark place. Her eyes

The soft light of love gradually overflowed from inside, and the nanny and the maids were strictly ordered to take good care of her.

The wet nurse was a young daughter-in-law selected from Zhuangzi. She was in good health and had been taken to the house to recuperate her body early. She hurriedly squatted down to take care of herself.

The mother who was waiting for the confinement had already been prepared. Mrs. Xie asked a few questions and saw that everything was in order, so she was ready to go back first. Yu Zhuyuan was also ready to leave, but in the end Mrs. Ji stayed behind.

She couldn't help but feel a little confused. Because of their age and seniority, the two were not very close.

When Mr. Ji stammered and asked about Cheng Siyi, Yu Zhu suddenly realized. Logically speaking, husbands also have to avoid taboos when a woman is in confinement, but the enforcement is not very strict, especially for a family of military commanders like the Cheng family.

So much attention to detail.

...Ms. Ji must have wanted to see Cheng Siyi, but the little maid couldn't ask, and she didn't dare to ask in front of M. Xie, so she finally found her.

"It's nothing." Yu Zhu smiled and kissed Sister Ying's tender little face... Well, it tasted so good. Unexpectedly, the baby suddenly started crying, and he quickly called the wet nurse to call the diaper and feed her.

.

He turned around and said with relief: "I don't know exactly what happened. I just vaguely heard that I was asked by the uncle to help with some paperwork... I'll be free after I've been busy for a while."

Cheng Xun Gong was not only the eldest son of the Duke of Guo, but also had a position. It was normal for him to be busy. Ji's heart felt sweet, and it couldn't be better for him to be able to take his husband with him to teach him...

Knowing that she was not dissatisfied with the fact that she had given birth to a daughter, and after hearing the good news, Ji breathed a sigh of relief and felt much better than before. She smiled and watched Yu Zhu playing with the child.

After the baby got tired from all the tossing and yawned, Yu Zhu said goodbye with a smile.

Then he went to Xie's place again.

Xie was picking Buddha beans. When she saw Yu Zhu, she asked her: "My adopted brother and my daughter-in-law are unhappy?"

His gaze was so intense that Yu Zhu also sat over with a smile, picked up a bean and played with it, "Ask me where the eldest young master has gone... Well, I said he was called by the eldest master."

She put the beans in her hand into the dustpan, "It's just that I can't hide it for long." And Ji's vitality was severely damaged this time, and she might have to sit down for two months... There will always be some leaks after such a long time, if she was originally

He is innocent, but he knows that he has been implicated in that kind of suspicion, so he doesn't rush to get angry.

Ms. Xie also had a headache. Yesterday, she interrogated the maids and women who were serving Cheng Siyi for a long time, but she didn't get any clues. He only went to a few places. Except for the clean room, there was more than one person serving him. Where could he find it?

Is there a gap to be found?

One day, she didn't know how the news was leaked to Cheng Siyi, and Ms. Xie felt uncomfortable. She had never been teased like this since she took charge of the backyard of the Duke's Mansion.

"How about calling the young master here and asking." Yu Zhu had some ideas in mind and tried to suggest.

Ms. Xie was quite helpless and stopped what she was doing. "Every time the child got sad, he would hide in his room and ignore anyone's advice... Several times, he failed to complete the task of practicing martial arts and was killed by his father.

After hard training, I rushed into the room without shouting, and asked the maid to bring food and drink in."

"...I'm afraid I won't be able to ask anything right now." If I hadn't been familiar with his temperament, there would have been no need to go to such trouble.

Yu Zhu raised his eyebrows, smiled a little slyly, but decided to give it a try.

Mrs. Xie had no other choice, so she simply agreed to order the little maid to invite him.

"Wait a minute." Yu Zhu called to the little maid and smiled slightly: "If the eldest young master doesn't come, just say, 'It's not made by the big*girl'."

The little maid looked at Mr. Xie hesitantly. Her mother had given her many instructions before sending her in to work on errands, just to listen to her master. Now, of course, Ms. Xie had the final say.

"Go." Ms. Xie didn't understand what Yuzhu meant, but it was just a try, whatever she pleased.

After a while, a maid opened the curtain and announced, "The young master is here."

Then Cheng Siyi appeared at the door with a haggard face, obviously not yet recovered from the disillusionment of his ideals.

Forgive her for being indifferent to the melancholy and slender handsome young man. In modern times, young men of such an age still have the right to be willful, but in this time and space, Cheng Siyi already has a wife and daughter. If there were no elders to protect him, he should

He is the backbone of the family... How can he be in a life-or-death situation when something happens, and let his elderly grandmother worry about him?

Love is, after all, just the icing on the cake.

"Grandma, is it true that Ji's family didn't do it?" After a hurried salute, Cheng Siyi opened his eyes wide with hope, "Is it true... that Ji's family didn't do it?"

Before Mr. Xie could look over, Yu Zhu took a step forward with a smile and said, "Young Master, what kind of person is this big*girl? Can you still believe it?" The person has arrived, and he can start to fool her.

"Of course..." Cheng Siyi subconsciously took a step back, feeling a little ashamed after reacting, "Of course it's trustworthy, but... I just want to know the facts."

Yu Zhu saw this and sighed softly. He was indeed immature. Then he looked serious and asked him: "Where did you get the news?"

Cheng Siyi was startled, as if he had never thought of asking this question. After thinking for a while, he said: "It's a note, put it next to Gong Tong."

If this is the case, no wonder nothing can be found among the servants serving him.

But how did the note go in? Ms. Xie fell into deep thought again.

Yu Zhu snorted coldly and said unceremoniously: "You believe it just based on a note? And you ran all the way to the west of the city."

"This...isn't..."

"Think about it carefully. The old lady is worried about you so much that she hasn't slept well for several nights." Yu Zhu stopped immediately, glanced at Mrs. Xie secretly, and quickly retreated behind her when she looked normal.

——At least Wan is back.

Cheng Siyi looked at Mr. Xie's much older appearance, and felt sour in his heart. He almost burst into tears, and knelt down in front of Mr. Xie, "It's my grandson's unfilial piety that makes my grandmother worry."

Mrs. Xie was a little confused by his kneeling down. This grandson...

"Get up, we are all a family." She sighed and ordered him to stand up, "Now that I am a father, I can no longer act like I did in the past." Seeing Cheng Siyi nodding desperately, she added: "There is also that

It’s not entirely your fault that the little screwdriver is causing trouble... Think about it carefully, but do you still remember where you put that note?"

Cheng Siyi wondered, how could he remember that thing? He was shocked and angry at the same time, and ran out with his head swollen... He really couldn't remember where he had thrown the note.

"Do you still remember what was written on the note?" Xie asked.

"It is said that Mrs. Ji crippled Xiao Chen's brother's hand so that he could no longer take part in the imperial examination, so that he could completely control Xiao Chen... He also told me that the person ordered by Mr. Ji had been caught by the steward.

That place in the west of the city...if I don’t believe it, I can ask it myself.”

After hearing this, Yu Zhu had only one feeling - he had mastered the timing very well and had guessed Cheng Siyi's temperament very well. He anticipated his reaction and set up this trap.

Either early or late, the effect would be ineffective. At most, he would be scolded, but he was allowed to go outside and tear things apart - this is what made the old man really angry.

After this incident, Cheng Siyi's already low status in the heart of the old man was probably lowered a lot.

Aunt Chen's brother's hand was crippled, maybe it was Ji's fault, and then someone took advantage of her. Although Ji was born into a serious lady, who knows how ruthless a woman can be...

But the most likely scenario is that both Mr. Ji and Aunt Chen were used as pawns.

Yu Zhu guessed for a while but gave up. There was no evidence to say anything.

After talking for a while, Yang's mother came in from outside, with a troubled expression on her face, as if she was about to speak but she didn't say anything until Mrs. Xie asked.

"Old lady...Uncle Cheng is here."

Xie's face slowly darkened, "What is he here for?"

"He said he wanted to ask the old lady to hire a doctor." Yang's mother paused.

He whispered: "Uncle Cheng's youngest son is seriously ill, and even the doctors at Renshan Hall said he can't be cured."

…

Although the snow had gone, the wind outside was still very cold. Yu Zhu wrapped herself tightly in her purple brocade-trimmed fur cloak and walked out. She had to hide behind the screen anyway, so she might as well go out directly.

Hua Ruo didn't know where Yu Zhu was going, so he asked, "Madam, where are we going?"

Yuzhu stretched out his hand from his cloak, and then quickly retracted it after touching the cold air. He looked up at the bare branches in the yard.

"Let's go back." It seems that the weather is suitable for fishing. If I were in the boudoir at that time, I would have asked the maid to prepare things and go to the pond to find ingredients for the soup for lunch.

It's a pity that there is still a little one in my belly now...

Forget it, for the sake of being so good, Mom will stop messing around and go for a walk in the yard as usual and then go back to the house to continue fattening up.

"Yes" Hua Ruo agreed, but did not dare to relax at all. He carefully supported Yu Zhu and walked in the middle of the road. The maids and women who followed him did not dare to take it lightly. They all looked around and listened in all directions for fear.

Something hit the master.

After walking out of Xie's yard, there is a corridor. From the back corridor to the south, you will soon arrive at the back garden. The garden is very deserted in winter, but the large areas of wintersweet and sasanqua are in bloom, densely packed like a forest, with a cold fragrance.

Tangy.

After standing and admiring it for a while, Yuzhu was about to ask the little maid to break off a branch and take it back to put in a bottle, when she heard noise coming from behind.

I saw a sweeping woman running this way in a hurry.

"Mrs. Gao." Hua Ruo recognized her from Qingfu Courtyard. He was afraid that she would run away in a hurry and couldn't stop her, so he hurriedly shouted: "What are you doing here?"

The woman was panting rapidly in her chest, and beads of sweat appeared on her head. She didn't even bother to wipe it off. She squatted down and said hurriedly: "Madam, it's not good, the girl from the morning garden fell into the water."

Yu Zhu was shocked out of her wits and couldn't believe her ears. Although Zaoyuan was a bit more straightforward and casual, she still knew a lot... She held onto Hua Ruo's hand. How cold the water must be today.

Woolen cloth.
