The two maids were pushed so hard that they staggered and almost fell down. The people watching from the side thought that the two maids were really good at pretending.
How much strength can a chubby baby have when he pushes you? Is it necessary to pretend to be shaky? Are you not afraid of being exposed and embarrassed?
Two maids: "......"
We didn't pretend and we almost fell. This baby is very strong.
The nanny beside the beautiful woman glanced at Chu Xiaoxiao and the black-haired man coldly, and asked sternly: "The master is doing something, what are you two little brats doing? Go away and don't get in the way.
Our wife is the wife of the Duke of Chengguo Mansion. You two kids can't mess around with her. Go, go, go quickly."
Li Sizu squeezed in and looked at the maid: "Why are you embarrassing this old lady in the street?"
Sister Xiaoxiao said that this person is the future mother-in-law of the daughter of Duke Huguo Chu Zhixi, and is the one she wants to protect.
"Who are you? Why are you meddling in other people's business?"
The nanny was also a discerning person. She saw that Li Sizu was well-dressed and that the pretty baby was even chubbyer, with golden jewellery adorning his whole body. She must not be the child of an ordinary family.
The only ugly one was the dark and annoying boy, who looked so arrogant, as if he didn't take them seriously.
The beautiful woman's gaze fell on Chu Xiaoxiao, with displeasure in her eyes.
She knew this baby. She had seen him last time at Beiyang Hou's Mansion. He was Princess Lingxiao, the emperor's favorite, and the one next to him was the prince.
I had bad luck today. I wanted to make things difficult for Qian Yufeng, but I didn't expect to attract these three people. I'm afraid nothing will work out.
The charcoal-haired man crossed his arms and smiled mischievously, "It's none of your business who we are. I just want to know what you are doing. Why are you embarrassing this old lady in broad daylight?"
Before Lady Chengguo, her nanny, and the maid could say anything, someone nearby told him.
"I know that. Lady Chengguo said that this old lady stole the gold bracelet from their gold shop and she wants to search her body."
"Yes, I heard it too. I didn't even start searching when you called me."
"Is Madam Chengguo seeing things? I see that although the clothes this old lady is wearing are not silk or satin, she is not an ordinary vulgar woman. She came from the embroidery shop across the street and came to this gold shop unknowingly."
Naituanzi frowned slightly, looked at Lu Ailan, then looked at Mrs. Qian, the wife of Duke Chengguo, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
[Alas! What an injustice! There was a fire in the mansion of Duke Chengguo, and I thought the legitimate wife was burned to death, but I didn't expect that she would come back. ]
Black charcoal head: "......"
What? Another concubine-wife trick, you frame me, I frame you? Too boring.
Li Sizu: “…”
Indeed, more women means more trouble. Father has long seen that too many concubines in the harem is a disaster. Each of them wants to win favor, and each of them uses all means.
She has a hideous and ugly face. She doesn't plan to expand her harem because she is really scared.
My great-grandfather gave birth to my father and Prince Duan. For the throne, Prince Duan wanted to rebel, and the brothers became enemies.
When he takes his father's place as emperor, he will only marry one person, or at most two, and no more.
Chu Xiaoxiao: “…”
Unless you have a way to balance the harem and the front dynasty, it is difficult to ensure that the emperor has only one or two concubines in his harem. Even if it is just for show, there will be fifty, six, seven, eighty or ninety of them.
Do you think the number of three thousand beauties is just talk? That is the result of the actual combat experience of each generation of emperors.
Lu Ailan held her head high, her whole body showing a neither humble nor arrogant demeanor: "I didn't steal any gold bracelet, it was just the wife of Duke Cheng who framed me."
She calls herself old, but actually she is not that old. She just dresses and makes herself look older.
In addition, she was the one who took care of all the household affairs over the years, so naturally she looked much older than Lady Qian, the wife of Duke Chengguo.
She and Qian Yumei are sisters. Her name is Qian Yufeng, the eldest daughter of the Haiying Marquisate. Her mother, Lu, is the daughter of a merchant. At that time, the Haiying Marquisate was short of 100,000 taels of silver, so they married the eldest daughter of the richest family in the capital, Lu, to make up for the shortfall.
Her mother died of dystocia during childbirth, and the next year, Haiying Hou married Yuan, the second daughter of the Zhongcheng Bo Mansion, as his second wife. Seven months into the marriage, Qian Yumei was born prematurely.
According to rumors among the people in the mansion, Qian Yumei was not a premature baby at all, and it looked like she was a full-term baby. However, no one cared whether it was true or not.
Her grandmother took pity on her and raised her by her side. Later, she was engaged to the son of Duke Cheng. Qian Yumei was jealous of her marriage. Half a year after she married into the Duke Cheng's mansion, she moved into the mansion to accompany her.
At that time, her grandmother had passed away, and she was isolated and helpless, unable to stop the Yuan family's mother and daughter's calculations. In the end, Qian Yumei made her witness the scene of her and the son of Chengguogong in dishevel, and became a concubine in the mansion.
She was furious and resentful. Less than a month later, something happened to her maternal grandfather, the Lu family. They closed all the shops, sold all the assets, withdrew from Kyoto, and returned to their hometown of Taizhou to settle down.
Unexpectedly, they encountered bandits on the way and no one in the Lu family survived.
Qian Yumei used this news to make fun of her. She appeared strong and calm on the surface, not defeated at all, but she was very sad inside.
Her grandparents and three uncles were all very kind to her. She was able to grow up safely under the care of the Yuan family, half thanks to the protection of her grandmother and half thanks to her maternal family.
Now that her maternal family has met with misfortune, her natal family no longer has any help.
After ridiculing herself, Qian Yumei left. That night, a raging fire broke out in the yard where she lived, but she was unconscious.
The maid and the nurse changed her into servant's clothes, used a hairpin to wake her up, and escorted her out. But the door was locked from the outside at some point, and she couldn't get out.
Regardless of the danger, the wet nurse opened the back window and jumped down to serve as a human cushion. The head maid put on her clothes and pushed her out of the window.
She jumped out and the nurse caught her. She was fine, but the nurse had several ribs broken and lay on the ground unable to get up.
She wanted to ask the maid to go with her, but she saw the beam of the house fall down, knocking the person down and falling into the fire.
She wanted to take her nurse with her, but the nurse advised her, "Don't waste time, leave quickly! Leave the capital and don't come back. The Chengguo Mansion is a place where people are eaten without leaving any bones."
There are banknotes on the hem of the clothes, but I only got 500 taels due to the tight schedule. Miss! You have to rely on yourself for the rest of your life. There is a dog hole on the west wall, go out there and find your maternal grandfather's family."
She refused to move, and the nurse pushed her with all her might.
"Miss! Whether it's the Haiying Marquis Mansion, the Qian Family, or the Chengguo Duke Mansion, there is no place for you to stand. If I can burn you once today, I can burn you a second time tomorrow. Hurry up and leave this place and escape!"
She nodded while crying, hardened her heart, and left Duke Chengguo's Mansion.
He went outside and found an inn to stay in. The next day, he dressed up as a man and followed the caravan to Taizhou.
Not long after leaving the capital, she found out that she was pregnant. She was both happy and worried. When she arrived in Taizhou, she couldn't find her grandfather's family at all. After asking around, she found out that they were all gone.
