Spring Forest Evening

"Not on duty anymore?" Mrs. Xie couldn't restrain her worry this time, and asked again.

He didn't realize it until he asked, and quickly looked at his mother-in-law with some embarrassment.

Mrs. Zhou did not look at her as if she had never heard of it, she just frowned and asked the exact same question to Nanny Shen:

"Not on duty anymore? Then who is looking after Ah Heng at night? It can't be Mammy, you go to watch the night yourself, right? That's really hard work for you!"

The answer to this question was a bit embarrassing, but Shen Momo had already thought it through just now, and now she still smiled and replied:

"The lord and Miss Biao are both thinking about the old bones of the servants, so they didn't let the servants stay on duty at night, but please rest assured that the two ladies, Chuntao is now living in the back room of the upper room, and will go there during the day when the lord leaves. Serve Miss Biao."

You can't say the word of the day, but it's all said to this point, presumably Mrs. Zhou and other mature people should be able to understand it. reaction.

Sure enough, although the old lady didn't show her face, Nanny Shen noticed that the hands under her sleeves were lightly touching her knees, and she knew that Mrs. Zhou had understood, so she didn't say anything, just raised her head Smiling and waiting for her to speak.

Sure enough, Mrs. Zhou then sighed and said to Nanny Shen:

"I'm sorry, I'm going to ask my mother to take care of my family Ah Heng in the future. She is young and has a sudden change. Now she can't go home and see no one. It's useless for us elders to help her. Ah Heng can only rely on the prince, the left and right are engaged, and her cousin, alas, this is the only way to go!"

After finishing speaking, he lifted his hand on his knee, pressed the corner of his eyes with a veil as if feeling a little sad, and glanced at the next daughter-in-law without any trace through the cover of the veil.

Mrs. Xie reacted immediately after seeing this, she was so startled that she stood up directly, and looked at Mrs. Zhou as if she didn't know what to say.

Seeing this, Shen Momo knew that the two wives had already understood, but they still needed some time to digest, so she took the initiative to get up and leave.Sure enough, after she left, Mrs. Zhou got up and went to the daughter-in-law who was still standing there with an expression of not knowing whether to cry or smile, held her hand and patted it, and then said:

"You don't have to think too much, Ah Heng grew up in front of me since he was a child, and now he has listened to my old woman's words. If you want to blame, you can blame me! Sigh, who made our family Ah Heng suffer such a catastrophe?"

"Mother!" Mrs. Xie really felt sorry for her daughter. When her mother-in-law said this, tears fell down: "I don't blame you, I only blame myself for my incompetence..."

Seeing this, Madam Zhou sighed, wiped away her tears with her own hands, and persuaded her in a low voice:

"So what if you're capable? When you're facing those people, you'll always be able to deal with them! Forget it, Ah Heng is a man of integrity, and it's reasonable for her not to come back now, so you just have to be considerate."

"I am a mother, how can I not be considerate, I feel sorry for her before it's too late..." Mrs. Xie was still immersed in her own sad emotions, crying uncontrollably.

Mrs. Zhou felt a little impatient, but she also knew the temperament of her daughter-in-law, and now she was involved in the daughter who was raised like a pearl like a jade, and she felt that she couldn't make it through for a while, so she still softened her voice comfort her:

"It's okay, we have to do extraordinary things in extraordinary times. When we first saw Shen Fu, didn't we think he was a kind and righteous person? And we all say that a friend in adversity sees the truth. Aunt Shen said just now that she loves Ah Heng very much now." , in the future, we will look forward to..."

Having said that, Mrs. Zhou knew in her heart that this was a dangerous move. Although there was an imperial decree for marriage and the order of parents, how many men are there?I can only hope that Shen Fu will be able to pity Ah Heng because of their Prince Jing's mansion that he almost lost his life and ended up in such a wronged and miserable situation. In the future...

Alas, let’s take one step at a time. It’s not certain that Ah Heng will have good fortune in the future. Besides, the two of them are now living in the same room. Firmly comfort the daughter-in-law:

"Don't worry, Ah Heng is a girl from our Zhou family. The danger ahead has been saved by her. It can be seen that she is a blessed child. You, don't feel uncomfortable about it. This is just a stopgap measure. After a while After passing the current test, even if I give up my old bones, we must let our Ah Heng sit in the position of Princess Jing!"

"Passed this barrier?" Mrs. Xie raised her head with tears in her eyes: "What, what barrier?"

"You!" Madam Zhou approached her and whispered:

"The First Prince will soon be the Crown Prince. Naturally, the Second Prince will not let it go. The two tigers are fighting, and Prince Jing's Mansion will definitely not stand by. Maybe..."

"Mom, what do you mean..." Mrs. Xie stopped crying immediately, and asked tentatively:

"When the second prince and the others are defeated, maybe... Ah Heng will be able to get revenge? No, no, you can't say that about my Ah Heng... Mother, what I mean is that Ah Heng will be able to restore her Miss Zhou family in a dignified way. identity, so you can...?"

"That's right!" Mrs. Zhou naturally didn't think so. The so-called winner and loser may be the second prince and they may not win, or maybe it is neither the eldest prince nor the second prince. Who can say until the last moment?But seeing his daughter-in-law looking at me with tears in her eyes waiting for an answer, she gritted her teeth and squeezed out a smile:

"So, it's good that Ah Heng doesn't come back now, among other things, the Mid-Autumn Palace banquet must have had a lot of open and dark arrows, and those in the palace will have to make a lot of trouble, and Prince Jing's mansion will not just stand by and watch." , let’s meet Ah Heng again in a few days, maybe we can know more news then.”

"Okay, I'll listen to you!" Mrs. Xie has long been used to listening to Mrs. Zhou, the mother-in-law who is the backbone of the Zhou family. She was still lamenting that her daughter, a dignified young lady, had to wrong herself, but now she feels Things were not hopeless, and even secretly began to hope that her daughter would conceive a child early because of this. When the troubles in the palace happened, and the child was about to arrive at the end of the month, it was impossible for Ah Fu to deny it at that time. When the time comes, I will cry in front of my cousin uncle, and let him, my real uncle, come forward to see if he recognizes Ah Fu...

When Mrs. Xie was thinking about things, Zhou Heng, after listening to Mother Shen's report, saying that Zhou's parents and seniors expressed their understanding, knew that his meaning should be accurately passed on to Mrs. Zhou , I felt a little embarrassed for a while, so I used the excuse that I was a little tired from making moon cakes, and went to bed for a while after eating lunch.

Unexpectedly, when she woke up, she found out that Shen Fu had already returned to the mansion. According to Nanny Shen's reply:

"It was said that it was a decree specially issued by the palace, and the slaves guessed that anyway, it will be the Mid-Autumn Festival tomorrow, and there is not much going on in the yamen, so let everyone go back to the mansion early. After all, many people will have to enter the palace for a banquet tomorrow night. , Quan'er is going to celebrate the festival with his family in advance tonight, which is just right. Although it means that the prince is definitely going to enter the palace, but tonight can be regarded as celebrating the Mid-Autumn Festival with you. The [-]th and [-]th moons are actually They are all the same circle, Miss Biao, don’t you think so?”

Fifteen and we are actually together, Zhou Heng smiled slightly:

"Mammy, you are right!"
