Chapter 89
If it were before, Du Wenrou would be quite happy to leave Xiao Jingtang. But now, she smiled, lowered her eyes and whispered: "Rou'er is reluctant to leave the Second Young Master."
Xiao Jingtang, who was sitting next to him, slapped.
"If Madam really thinks that Rou'er is in trouble, it's better to sell Rou'er and get 100,000 taels of silver. It's more cost-effective than raising more people in the mansion." said gentlely: "If you don't want to sell, why not leave Rou'er with the second young master."
After talking, he still wanted to leave. Xiao Jingtang covered the teacup and said before Mrs. Xiao said, "My Xiao family is not short of the 100,000 taels of silver, and he is not afraid that a servant will bully the second young lady. Just stay in my yard with peace of mind."
"Grave." Mrs. Xiao frowned, glanced at Wenrou, and gently pulled his sleeve: "You should think about Fuqiu too? She was almost killed by Du Shi. How could she live under the same roof now?"
There was a marriage before, and neither of the two families were very happy. Xiao Jingtang said that he had married the wrong person, so the Du family fooled the matter. Although both sides had their own needs, the marriage was unstable and the cooperation was naturally not very pleasant. Now, it was finally possible to have a marriage that both sides were satisfied with. Why did the second lady of the Du family be wronged?
Xiao Jingtang shook his head and smiled lightly, "My son has his own sense of responsibility."
I used to want him to spoil Du Wenrou, but I couldn't even push him. Now I don't want him to spoil him, but I can't stop him. What's going on? Mrs. Xiao was very troubled. She looked at her son and sighed: "If something goes wrong with this marriage, don't blame her for being cruel."
Without saying a word, Xiao Jingtang stood up, pulled Wenrou and walked out.
He pulled his sleeves, Wenrou followed behind and looked at his hand for a while, smiled slightly, and reached into his wide palm.
The person in front of him paused, his body was slightly stiff, and he looked back at her: "What are you doing?"
"Is it okay to hold it if I don't do anything?" The person behind me smiled like a cunning fox: "Anyway, the house is round, so it's no big deal to hold it, right?"
"..." Turning back, Xiao Jingtang continued to move forward, but he was slower, and his hands were pinching her stiffly, either moving or not moving.
He noticed the slight sweat in his palms, smiled gently and said, "You are about to have a new Second Young Master Grandma. What will I give you as a gift?"
"No need." The person in front of him said in a muffled voice: "Just stop making things difficult with her."
"I won't make things difficult for her." Gentle nodded: "But what if she makes things difficult for me? Do I want to fight back if I don't fight back or scold me?"
"She is not that cruel." Xiao Jingtang said: "If you don't provoke her, she won't treat you like this. I'll let her give up on everything in the past."
This man really doesn't understand women, so he gave up just by saying that he would give up? Du Wenrou almost died. He was left outside for another year and stole other people's men as his husband. This hatred was simply irreconcilable and would definitely take revenge on Du Wenrou.
However, she would definitely not endure it without the need to atone for Du Wenrou. Mrs. Xiao was right. With her in Xiao Jingtang's yard, she would really be restless.
Du Fuqi was waiting to marry in a villa. Because the Du family was far away from here, the two sides discussed and asked the Du family's dowry to come directly. Du Fuqi could go from the villa to the Xiao family's mansion. So now, Du Fuqi was sitting in the room full of green pearls and jade, looking at the man opposite to him in tears.
Yes, tears were wet, tears were drawn on my face, I fainted and my handkerchief was wet.
"I can finally marry him, but why can't I be happy at all?" Looking at Tingfeng, Du Fuqi murmured in a low voice: "Can you tell me why?"
Her face was slightly pale. Tingfeng sat beside her, with her slender fingers resting on her wrist, but she was unintentionally diagnosed with her condition.
She was the one he saved. She lived together in the valley for a year, and felt feelings for both sides. However, when the Xiao family came, she had no choice but to marry someone else.
"Can you not marry?" he asked in a low voice.
Fu Qi shook her head, tears flowing even harder: "What should I do if I don't marry? He likes me so much. If he knows me...I like you, then we will not be able to survive. The power of the Xiao family is so powerful that you can't imagine it."
His eyes dimmed, Tingfeng pursed his lips and said in a hoarse voice: "What should I do? Fuqi, what do you want me?"
"Don't leave me." Du Fuqi swallowed even more and looked at him with hazy eyes: "Would you please stay in the Xiao family to accompany me? The woman who caused me was still alive, right in the Xiao family. She has been by the Qiongtang for more than a year. I... I'm afraid I will be harmed by her."
He felt both distressed and uncomfortable. Tingfeng lowered his eyes and his thin face looked depressed. After a while, he nodded slightly: "Okay."
After bursting into tears and laughing, Du Fu held his hand and rubbed it: "No matter who I marry, I only have you in my heart."
"Um."
I was in a bad mood, and after saying a few words, Tingfeng went out to relax. Du Fu wiped her tears, put on makeup again, took a deep breath in the mirror, and then smiled.
It is her man, she will always be hers, and Du Wenrou can never take anything away from her. The Du family's legitimate daughter is her, and Xiao Jingtang's official wife will only be her.
"Second Young Master." Someone shouted outside the door, and Fu Zi paused, and heard the sound, and was slightly displeased: "Come in."
Xiao Jingtang's maid from the room was sent by Xiao Jingtang a few days ago and had never come to say anything to her. Why did he suddenly come now?
The door opened, Qiaoyan stepped in with her skirt, respectfully gave Fu Zi three great gifts, and then said, "After thinking carefully, I decided to come and help the second young lady."
"Oh?" Fu Chi looked at her and said, "What do I need your help?"
He raised his head with a smile: "Help you get the second young master's heart."
After a sudden jump, Du Fu turned his head and looked into the mirror and said, "What are you talking nonsense? If he hadn't had me in his heart, how could he have been looking for me for more than a year? How could he push Miss Du Si and insist on asking me?"
"What is the reason? The second young master should know." He knelt on the ground, laughing with a clever smile: "I am the second young master's maid and the first person to accompany the second young master. The second young master will tell me anything. However, I have never heard of the second young master's deeds from the second young master. However, the Du family and the second young master mentioned a lot."
With a slightly dark face, Du Fuqi slowly turned her head and looked at her and said, "What do you mean?"
"I have no other meaning. I just think that the second young master still needs help to sit in this position." said cleverly: "Otherwise, if the second young master is confused by such a mess one day, the second young master will inevitably be driven out of the Xiao family like I do."
Absurd! Xiao Jingtang hated Du Wenrou so much. Didn’t he use family rules on her before? How could he drive himself out for her? Du Fuqiu didn’t believe it and waved impatiently: “Don’t use me as a knife. I just want to marry Jingtang to live a good life, and don’t want to harm others.”
"I am not in a hurry." Qiaoyan smiled and said, "I am waiting for you in the other courtyard. If you need it, take me back to Xiao's house. As a reward, I will definitely help the second young lady with all my strength."
After saying that, he saluted Du Fuqi, carried his skirt and went out.
The room became quiet, Du Fu's eyebrows slowly frowned, and she murmured in a low voice: "It's impossible."
How could Xiao Jingtang not like her? She could feel that he had feelings for him, otherwise he would not have to marry her for other reasons.
The maid must be exaggerating, she won't fall into the trap!
On the day of the wedding, for some reason, the sky became even more gloomy. Gentle should have served Xiao Jingtang to change his clothes and prepare to salute him, but his joints all over his body ached, swelling and uncomfortable, and he really couldn't get up, so he simply let another maid go for him.
The red silk everywhere looked a little gloomy under the dark sky. Xiao Jingtang looked at the person who came to change clothes and frowned: "Where is Mrs. Du?"
The maid said with a thorn in the air, "I feel uncomfortable and I'm resting in the room."
Is it uncomfortable or feeling uncomfortable? Xiao Jingtang chuckled, let go of his eyebrows, and tidied up his clothes and said, "I'll go and have a look."
"Second Young Master." The housekeeper shook his head repeatedly: "On a happy day, you should not go to a pickled place."
As if he hadn't heard this, Xiao Jingtang raised his foot and went to the woodshed. He either cared about this person or wanted to see her in pain, and he would probably feel a little better in his heart.
However, when he saw it, Master Xiao Second found that he was not very happy.
"What's going on?" He asked in a deep voice at the person who was frowning and humming on the bed.
Shufang next to him glanced at him and said lightly: "Don't worry, the second young master, it's just that postpartum moisture invades, and the bones all over your body will hurt in the future on rainy days."
Forget it? Xiao Jingtang was stunned: "How could he get this disease?"
"Thank you for the blessing of the second young master." Shufang's eyes were red: "After Du's miscarriage, he did all kinds of work of washing clothes and chopping firewood. He was not full of confinement and had more hardship than usual, so he would naturally suffer from the root of the disease and suffer for the rest of his life."
"But it has nothing to do with you. You are very happy today. It's better to prepare the etiquette sooner."
The person on the bed groaned in pain, Xiao Jingtang frowned, walked over to look at her: "It's useless to feed you so much medicinal food?"
He secretly gave her a small kitchen to the housekeeper for delivery these days, saying that it was leftover in the kitchen and asked her to eat it. She would finish it obediently every time, but who knew that it would still cause the disease.
"You should ask the medicinal foods and what's the use of asking me?" Gentle laughed and smiled happily with a white face: "But Second Young Master, you are very happy today. Stay with me again. The new Second Young Master Grandma enters the door, I'm afraid it's not going to be happy."
"Will it really hurt so much for the rest of your life?" Xiao Jingtang asked with a serious look on his face when he ignored her words.
