Chapter 156 Fantasy
The next day, Mei Niang woke up. The bright sunshine penetrated the curtains and shone into the room. Cui Si opened the window and saw that the flowers in the yard were particularly red and the leaves were particularly green. It was a beautiful and fresh spring scene. If she hadn't seen the wet mud, she would not have known that there was a thunderstorm last night. Cui Xi and Cui Lian had already put away the scattered objects on the soft couch. Xia Lian and Ma Niang also took Heng'er downstairs to wash. No one told Mei Niang how messy the room was when Lord Hou opened the door and called people in early in the morning. Cui Si and Xia Lian were most worried that Heng'er would pee in Mei Niang's bed. It would be even worse if he accidentally fell off the bed. As a result, they went in and saw Heng'er lying face down beside Mei Niang. The mother and son were covered tightly and slept soundly. Heng'er did not wet the bed, nor did there appear any signs of falling off the bed. Instead, the small round table was cluttered with books and official documents, and the teapot was empty, not even a drop of tea could be poured out. Cui Si and Xia Lian were secretly surprised. Did Lord Hou take care of Heng'er while reading official documents here last night?
Xu Junying took away the important official documents and asked Cuisi to pack the rest and put them in the study. Before leaving, he did not forget to ask Cuixi to take good care of Heng'er and take him away as soon as he woke up. He should not disturb the grandmother and let her wake up by herself without waking her up. They should wait for him to come back and then go to Jinhua Hall and Qiuhua Courtyard together.
Mei Niang was eating breakfast while listening to Cui Xi's retelling of the Marquis' words. She didn't take it seriously: she didn't want to go anywhere, Jinhua Hall or Qiuhua Courtyard! After seeing the Queen Mother's behavior and the things she said in the palace, she completely lost her patience with the old women in this mansion. What kind of people are they? If you don't like them, then don't like them. If you want to marry a co-wife, just marry her. Why bother to go around saying how bad Qin Mei Niang is, how the Qin family is poor and poor, and how uneducated they are. They almost accused the three generations of the Qin family! What's so good about the old Xu family? It's just a broken marquis, claiming to be noble and from a famous family. Bah! I don't care. Take out the divorce letter and run away at any time. I won't even let you see my shadow!
Mei Niang rested her chin on her hand, leaning against the table in a daze: What did the King of Qi say to Xu Junying when he found her yesterday? Xu Junying followed her nervously, from Xianke to Tsinghua Courtyard, and never left her side. Is this guy crazy? Could it be that he suspected that there was an affair between her and the King of Qi? She had clearly told him that she knew the King of Qi, so how could she be entangled with him!
Mei Niang blinked. Even if there was something wrong, it had nothing to do with Xu Junying, right? It had already been said that she was not Qin Mei Niang. He agreed to let her go. In order to ease the situation, she would stay in Xu's house for three months. After he married a new wife and everything was settled, he would release his old wife.
This would be perfect, everyone gets what they want. There is no need and no right for Xu Junying to control her everywhere, to make demands on her, to pay attention to her, and to restrict her freedom like a real couple.
She had no bad feelings towards Xu Junying. She thought he was pretty good when she first met him. His appearance, temperament, and character were rare among the opposite sex. Even though she felt that he was stupid and dull, he was still a good man. In her eyes, his bad thing was that he was born in the Xu family and had such a family, which taught him like that. She could not agree with his views on life. The two of them were destined to be apart and had to separate and each find the happiness they wanted.
The sixth sense told her that things were not going well. There were some subtle changes between her and Xu Junying, mainly because of Xu Junying. He controlled her and cared about her, not just to maintain his so-called reputation, nor was it because she was self-indulgent and delusional. Xu Junying was indeed moved again. He only blamed Qin Meiniang for being too beautiful. He had already raped him once. Now this body belonged to him. He didn't have any worries that he couldn't let go. He could eat, drink and sleep. He was well maintained. He grew stronger and taller, and became more lively and beautiful. It was hard to guarantee that he would not be obsessed with her. What if Qin Meiniang was Laoqi's woman? Ancient people also had absurd and unruly times. It was not uncommon for brothers to share wives. Laoqi was already dead. Qin Meiniang was supposed to be his woman. It was not impossible for him to take her back!
Thinking of this, Mei Niang shuddered - if she was caught by Xu Junying, she would have to live in this courtyard for the rest of her life, taking care of trivial matters, dealing with several old women with their own thoughts every day, and competing with three or four young women for Xu Junying's pitiful affection... She would definitely go crazy, and either kill others or let others kill her!
Why bother? If you can avoid things that harm others and yourself, try to avoid them. She has to keep her eyes open and see what Xu Junying wants to do. She trusts him, so she made a three-month agreement with him. If he doesn't keep his promise, don't blame her for being rude. She won't let him know how she disappeared. There is always a way out. If there is really no way out, she will jump off the cliff! Of course, the premise is that there is water under the cliff. She can swim. In her previous life, she fell into the water and died because she was locked in the car and couldn't get out...
Mei Niang asked Cui Xi, Cui Lian, and Cui Si to sort out the things bestowed by the emperor in the palace, which were nothing more than some gold, silver, jade, toys, food, silk, etc. She personally picked out a few elegant and novel jade ornaments, a box of South China Sea pearls, a few pieces of fine silk, and the latest candies and snacks from various vassal states, and asked Cui Xi to send them to Ning Rulan. She also picked out some things that she liked, and then asked Cui Lian and Cui Si to choose and match the remaining gold and silver jewelry, jade ruyi, large and small ingots, Buddhist beads, jade pendants, hat bands, collar bands, various silk handkerchiefs and snacks according to the seniority of the people in the mansion, and send them out one by one from top to bottom. Old Lady Xu knew that it was a great reward from the emperor, so she didn't give it to her, but divided these things in her hands so that she could see them clearly and not worry about them.
Around noon, Bai Zhan brought in a robust woman in blue, followed by Mother Wang, who turned out to be Mrs. Lian from the Qin residence. Upon asking, they learned that Qin's eldest aunt was about to give birth. She had been in pain since last night and was almost fainting, but there was no movement from the baby in her belly. The uncle was still in the examination room, and the mistress finally couldn't hold on any longer, so she told them to come find the aunt and think of a solution.
Without saying a word, Mei Niang immediately asked Cui Xi, Cui Lian and Cui Si to pack their things, and asked the maids to carry the large and small bags. Xia Lian and the wet nurse held Heng'er, and took Mother Wang with them to go back to her parents' home. Cheng'er and Ping'er were in the corridor, and saw that the eldest grandmother was acting like this, which was something they had never seen before. Sister Cui Lian didn't even look after the house, and the two little girls didn't say a word, but just ran behind. Bai Zhan was stunned: this was not going back to her parents' home, she was simply packing up and fleeing!
Fortunately, he had already sent someone to look for Baoju at the office where Lord Hou worked. Lord Hou should have received the message by now and would rush back.
Bai Zhan hurriedly called for someone to prepare the car, while diligently helping Cui Si to load the items into the car. He spoke carefully, for fear of upsetting Cui Si. If this girl got unhappy and told the grandmother, she would leave him behind and not let him go with her. If he came back, he would be punished by the Lord Hou, which would be unfair.
Bai Zhan and Bao Ju don't understand the Hou Ye and the Grandmother. Previously, one of them was cold and the other was warm. The Grandmother took the initiative to find the Hou Ye and showed great consideration and care, but the Hou Ye didn't seem to like it and told them to put the East Courtyard under martial law, not letting anyone in, including the Grandmother. As a result, the Grandmother really didn't come. She simply became as cold and indifferent as the Hou Ye. She also boldly changed her appearance, changed her name and ran away from the house to open a restaurant. When the Hou Ye knew about it, he was not angry, but instead followed and tried to please her. He resolutely dealt with Miss Zheng who offended the Grandmother many times, and thought of ways to get close to the Grandmother... Isn't this just looking for trouble? What were you doing before? The couple was weird, and Bai Zhan was unlucky. He got a thankless job. He was ordered to protect the Grandmother, but it was actually surveillance and tracking. He was caught in the middle and was neither human nor human. It was really a fight between gods and mortals!
He and Baoju had discussed secretly, trying to guess what Hou Ye was thinking: the eldest grandmother had died of illness once, and she was in poor health. The old lady arranged for Hou Ye to marry the cousin of the Zhuang family. The eldest grandmother must be unhappy, and the two of them could not reach an agreement. As time went by, a rift arose. Hou Ye even thought about marrying the new grandmother first, leaving the eldest grandmother aside, and then dealing with her later. However, he did not expect that the eldest grandmother would be like this. She was so strong and tough inside, changing her appearance and name, opening a restaurant, and getting to know so many people outside. Isn't it obvious that she didn't want to live well with Hou Ye? What kind of person is Hou Ye? Women can only be married, not divorced. Even if you don't like them, just keep them in another courtyard. Once they enter the Xu family, how can they be allowed to go out and marry someone else!
Now it seems that they were wrong. In fact, the master cares about the eldest grandmother the most. No one knows what will happen after he marries a new wife. Now, if he doesn't see the eldest grandmother for a day, he will be anxious, depressed and melancholy. If the eldest grandmother suddenly disappears one day, won't he go crazy?
Therefore, the two of them did not dare to be careless. They posted people inside and outside the mansion to keep a tight watch. They did not dare to stare at the eldest grandmother. As for the few clever maids around the eldest grandmother, any unusual thing would not escape their eyes. They only needed to keep an eye on these maids.
Mei Niang specially asked Lian Sao to take a ride with her to learn about the situation at the Qin residence. Feng started to feel pain at three o'clock last night. It has been more than ten hours now. Is it almost time? But Lian Sao said that the two midwives were tired and said that grandma would not give birth today. There was no water breaking and no bleeding. She was just in pain. The pain was very severe.
Mei Niang was a little nervous. Feng's belly was big and round, so the baby must be big. She was so petite, could she give birth to it? In this era, giving birth was really a life-threatening matter. There was no safety guarantee at all. The queen also had Zhang Jingyun and Lingxuzi... That's right! The two of them didn't know how to deliver babies, but they had life-saving drugs and methods!
Mei Niang ordered Cui Xi: "Change your route immediately and go to Qiancao Hall first. When you get there, go down and ask: Master Cen wants to see Mr. Zhang urgently. How can he find him?"
Zhang Jingyun said that if anyone wanted to find him urgently, they could go to Qiancaotang. Just say that he was Young Master Cen and someone would deliver the message and he would come soon.
The carriage was speeding down the street. Mei Niang was sitting in the carriage holding Heng Er. She felt a moment of joy and impulse in her heart: the child and the people around him were all out. If...
Before she could finish her fantasy, Cui Xi, who was leaning against the window and looking out, suddenly brought her back to reality with a word:
"Grandma, Lord Hou is here, waiting for us at the street corner!"
It is made by】.
