Chapter 568 You tell me!

Hearing the word "Zhuzhu", Mao's body trembled slightly again.

After a long while, she shook her head tiredly: "Husband, I'm fine. The massage maid Mingzhu found is also very good. It's just that I didn't sleep well these two days."

Yu Chongjie didn't believe it: "You don't look like you didn't sleep well--"

It's more like a serious illness!

But no matter how Yu Chongjie asked, Mao just pursed her lips and said nothing.

In fact, what does Mao say about this?

They said that she was a jealous woman, and was resentful of her husband's love for his younger sister, so she was tormented day and night and looked so bad?

How could Mao say such things?

Mao could only turn her face pale, suppress her bitterness, and turn her head away.

When Yu Chongjie saw Mao's expression, he became more and more anxious, and couldn't help but raise his voice: "What's wrong with you, or what did I do wrong? Tell me!"

Mao was so frightened by Yu Chongjie that she took a step back and almost couldn't hold back her tears.

The nanny behind Mao couldn't bear it any longer, rushed out, knelt in front of Yu Chongjie, and cried and begged: "Master, please don't force the mistress anymore. She hasn't recovered from the shock of miscarriage..."

Yu Chongjie frowned: "...but it's been so long."

The nanny cried, "But that is the eldest young lady's first child after all... Young Master, I am not blaming you, but shouldn't you pay more attention to our eldest young lady? Whenever the eldest young lady has a headache or a fever, you always ask about every detail..."

Mao's face changed and she shouted, "Madam, stop talking!"

Yu Chongjie was so shocked that he was speechless.

When Mao saw Yu Chongjie's shocked look, her first feeling was embarrassment.

But when she realized that she was so ashamed, her heart stagnated, and she was filled with endless sadness.

She was the one who was hurt, why should she feel ashamed?

Mao was about to shed tears.

For the past few months, she has been caught up in such internal friction and unable to sleep at night.

The room was silent for a moment.

It took a long time before Yu Chongjie's dry voice, which was a little bit incredulous, broke the silence.

He murmured, "You actually think so..."

With just this sentence, Mao couldn't hold back her tears and fell.

Is it strange that she thinks this way?

What's strange about that?

Across the wisps of white smoke rising from the gilded crane-carving Boshan furnace, the voice of the old lady of Duke Xin suddenly rang out:

"Wait."

Several people subconsciously looked at the old lady of Duke Xin.

Even Mao had tears in her eyes as she looked at the old lady of Duke Xin.

The old lady of Duke Xin frowned, but looked at the nanny who had just spoken——

That was Mao's wet nurse, who accompanied Mao when she married into the Duke of Xin's Mansion.

On the day of the Lantern Festival, Mao gave the wet nurse a day off and asked her to return to her home to share family time - so much so that the wet nurse felt extremely heartbroken whenever she thought of it. If she had been with the eldest young lady that day, she would never have waited until the eldest young lady gave birth before noticing anything was wrong!

The old lady of Duke Xin looked at the wet nurse and said, "——You just said that the eldest young master always cares about the eldest young lady in every detail. You can come to the conclusion of "in every detail", most of which must have happened in Mingzhu Courtyard, right? How do you know?"

When the old lady of Duke Xin said this, Mao Shi couldn't even bear to cry, and hurriedly defended the wet nurse: "...Grandmother, the wet nurse definitely didn't deliberately spy on what was going on in Mingzhu Courtyard..."

The nanny kowtowed in the direction of the old lady of Duke Xin and said anxiously, "The old lady is very observant. I know the rules. I did not go to the eldest lady's courtyard to spy..."

When the nanny said this, she was stunned.

The old lady of Duke Xin's eyes, which were always gentle, flashed with a gleam of light: "Oh? Then tell me, how did you know that the young master cared about the young lady in every detail?"

The wet nurse's face became paler and paler. She seemed to have finally figured it out. Her breathing became more and more rapid: "Yes, it's Qiu Li!"

Mao hasn't reacted yet.

Yu Chongjie didn't even react.

On the contrary, the wet nurse was very excited. She knelt down a few steps towards the old lady of Duke Xin and kowtowed in a hurry: "Old lady! It's Qiuli! It's the maid Qiuli! She is the maid who can massage that the eldest lady found for our eldest lady! She comes from the eldest lady's courtyard every day to massage our eldest lady!... The eldest lady is very tolerant, and we maids and old women sometimes chat with her! Therefore, the maid Qiuli occasionally said a few words about the things in the eldest lady's courtyard with emotion, and sometimes revealed that the eldest master cares about the eldest lady, and is afraid that the eldest lady doesn't wear thick clothes because of the cold weather, so he sent the long-time servant to urge her or something; sometimes he also revealed that the eldest master saw something when he was dining outside, and the eldest lady was allergic to it and couldn't eat it, so he sent someone to remind her or something..."

"If this continues, we will know how the young master cares about the young lady in every detail!!"

The wet nurse finally understood this, and her voice became a little hoarse with excitement.

Nanny felt as if she had touched upon something, but that alone made her feel terribly frightened: "...It was Qiuli, Qiuli has always been here..."

Yu Chongjie didn't think much about it, although he felt a little awkward. He felt that he was just fulfilling his responsibilities as an elder brother. Why was the maid named Qiuli so talkative?

But apart from him, everyone else's expressions were different.

The wet nurse was gritting her teeth in hatred, Mrs. Mao was in a trance, and Xingxing seemed to be thinking about something.

The old lady of Duke Xin's brows were as gloomy as water, but she ordered Nanny Qingluan: "Go, call the maid named Qiuli from Mingzhu Courtyard to me."

After a pause, the old lady of Duke Xin's eyes became more and more indifferent, and she gave an additional instruction, "Don't disturb Mingzhu when you call her."

Yu Chongjie didn't think much about it, he just thought that his grandmother felt sorry for Mingzhu and didn't want to disturb her because of such a small matter.

But the nanny's heart skipped a beat!

What the old lady meant was...

The wet nurse trembled slightly.

However, Mao was still a little dazed, and no one knew what she was thinking about.

Nanny Qingluan took the order and went downstairs. Soon, the maid named Qiuli was brought over.

Yu Chongjie frowned as he looked at the thin figure following behind Nanny Qingluan.

Sometimes he would return home early, and occasionally he would run into Qiu Li who had not yet finished massaging Mao, so he would wait in the outer hall.

The maid named Qiuli never glanced at him when she left. She was very well-behaved and just left after doing the massage.

One day, Yu Chong'en happened to hear about a colleague being raped by his maid. When he came back and saw the maid named Qiuli lowering her head and respectfully leaving, he praised her to Mrs. Mao, saying that she was a well-behaved girl and was worthy of being the maid recommended by Zhuzhu.

Now that I think about it, why does my face feel a little hot?
