Chapter 191 Cannon Fodder Lady's Counterattack 8
Xiao Heng already knew that his mother was under house arrest, and was so disappointed with Xiao Heng that he didn't even want to talk about it.
He had just heard clearly that his father and that woman from the Tong family were attacked together. Why were they together at this hour? Even though he was just a child, he understood it.
His father didn't like his mother or him, and the son he expected to have was born to Tong.
In this case, he no longer needs to harbor unrealistic fantasies.
"Mom, Yu'er will protect you from now on!"
After saying that, he felt that his strength was still too weak to compete with his father, so he continued to ask, "Mother, when can the teacher come to teach me?"
"In two days."
With her stepfather's connections, there shouldn't be any problems in the near future.
Luo An was right. As soon as Shaoyao left, Old Man Luo began to think about who among the people he knew was capable of being his grandson's teacher.
After thinking it over, he always felt that most of them were not good enough and none of them made him completely satisfied.
It's not that he thinks highly of himself, as long as he knows what kind of life his daughter and grandson live in the palace, it's a pity that although he is the Minister of Rites, he can't compete with the royal family.
Now that he can finally help his daughter, how could he not do his best!
"Go to bed early! Think about it tomorrow."
"No! My daughter, our grandson is already 8 years old. He has already fallen far behind others. If we don't hurry up, how will we compare with others in the future? Now that Yu'er is in better health, we must hurry up.
In fact, I would rather teach him directly, but that beast Xiao Heng would definitely not want to. Oh! If I had known this would happen, I would not have entered the court as an official, causing An An to suffer like this. "
Talking about these things, the couple were not in a good mood, but things had already happened and no amount of regret could change anything.
"Forget it! You should be more patient in court in the future, speak less and offend less people, so that Xiao Heng won't take his anger out on An An again."
Old Man Luo choked for a moment and wanted to refute but felt that he was neither right nor confident, so he could only respond in a depressed tone.
But this kind of thing is still quite rare for him. He has a strong sense of justice. Over the years, the emperor has gradually grown old, and all kinds of evil spirits have come out to make trouble.
He knew clearly that if they continued to make trouble, the people of the Great Xiao Dynasty would suffer, so how could he resist stopping them?
But for the sake of his daughter and grandson, he tried his best!
It only took Old Man Luo two days to arrange the people, one civil and one military. Both of them had the potential to be the top scholar, but for various reasons they did not serve as officials in the court. Such people did not have too many involvements and were the most suitable for Xiao Yu.
Luo An settled the two of them in the yard outside and took Xiao Yu out for a few hours every day. It was not until then that Xiao Yu realized that his mother was different from before.
His mother loved him very much before, but she did not have the magical powers that she has now. She could not even climb walls and take him out of the high walls of the palace without being discovered.
This discovery kept him in a daze for the whole day, and he kept looking at the other person with puzzled eyes.
Luo An is such a sensitive person, how could she not notice his little movements, but she didn't explain anything.
For the next few days, Xiao Yu was in a state of distraction and was scolded several times by the teacher.
I don’t know when I suddenly figured it out and became the clingy person I used to be.
Although Xiao Yu started his education late, his teacher was capable and he had a smart brain, so he soon got on the right track.
Living in the same courtyard and often going out, Shaoyao and the others would definitely find out. Of course, there was someone who was kept in the dark, and that was Aunt Liu.
Very suddenly, she started to become sleepy. Not only did she sleep soundly at night, but she also fell asleep as soon as she wanted during the day. Even if she was still chatting animatedly the previous second, she would cover her mouth and yawn the next moment and go back to her room to sleep involuntarily.
As this happened more and more frequently, she began to doubt her physical condition. Could it be that she had some serious illness?
Nanny Liu found an opportunity to go out of the house to deal with the house matters, and then found a doctor to take her pulse. After getting the news that everything was fine, she sneaked back to the house.
Within a week, Madam Liu made up for all the losses and even added a little more before she dared to appear in front of Luo An.
"Fujin, this is what I stole over the years. I know I have done something wrong. I will double my service to you in the future. Please forgive me this time."
Luo An didn't even look at the bills and asked Shaoyao to put them away.
"In the Great Xiao Kingdom, respect for hierarchy is paramount. If a servant embezzles the master's property, he will be punished by having his wrist broken."
As the name suggests, the carpal bone is to cut off pieces of flesh from the body and feed them to the dog until the other party dies.
When Aunt Liu heard this, she trembled like a sieve and banged her head on the ground desperately, "Please spare my life, Madam, please spare my life!"
After a while, blood seeped out of the ground in front of him.
"It's not impossible to spare your life..."
"If you have anything to say, please let me know." Aunt Liu's eyes showed surprise and her expression was extremely expectant.
"You should know some of the maids and servants in the palace, right?"
"Every slave knows a little about each of them."
Luo An nodded. "We can continue to build good relationships with them and turn them into our spies. Can we do that?"
Madam Liu nodded immediately. Shaoyao and the other maids might not be able to do these things well, but for her, it was just her job. "Don't worry, Madam, I will definitely take care of this matter."
From that day on, Aunt Liu started to contact each courtyard. Although the entire Plum Garden was under house arrest, the saying "money makes the world go round" always applies.
Although they were under house arrest, others were not. 9 would always find a way to get them to come over.
It’s not that Luo An is kind-hearted and has to let Aunt Liu go, but some things really need to be done by people like this. When everything is over, her mission will be over.
After arranging everything, Luo An began to wait quietly. Of course, he was not waiting for Xiao Heng to die, but waiting for Tong to become pregnant.
Not this!
Tong was so frightened by what happened that day that she had nightmares for a whole month. She saw many doctors and took a lot of tranquilizers before she gradually got better.
It is said that people feel refreshed when they are happy. However, Tong Shi was able to sleep through the night for only a few days before she began to retch frequently and could not stand the smell of meat.
Although she had never given birth to a child, the people around her understood her and immediately told them her guess.
"Mammy, are you serious?"
After nine years of waiting, Tong finally got pregnant and she was almost crying with joy.
"It should be correct. I will ask the doctor to come and take a look. This is a great thing."
No matter what happened in Tong's courtyard, the people in the palace would handle it as quickly as possible. The doctor, whom the original owner had been unable to call, came running over with his medicine box when he heard that Tong was unwell.
"Congratulations, Concubine, you are pregnant!"
"real?"
"I dare not speak carelessly, but I can still tell if it's a slippery pulse. I can't be wrong!"
