Chapter 430 Going to Zhuangzi
He got out of bed, put on his clothes, picked up Zheng Ci and walked towards the bathroom.
He cleaned and wiped her himself without letting anyone help him.
After doing all this, he saw that Zheng Ci in his arms had fallen asleep with her eyes closed. He smiled and kissed her on the forehead.
"Sleep well."
Then he carefully got on the bed, hugged Zheng Ci, and the two of them fell asleep tightly together.
The next day.
Leaves were falling outside, and the scorched yellow leaves were swirling in the air and falling towards Xuan'er. The servants passing by stepped on the leaves, making a rustling sound.
Qiao Yu came to visit with Zheng Tang, and they had breakfast together at Zheng Ci's place.
Zheng Ci told her that the child couldn't keep breastfeeding, otherwise he would be malnourished. Qiao Yu listened and asked the kitchen to make some fish porridge for Zheng Tang.
"Did my brother write to me and tell me when he will be back?"
Speaking of which, Zheng Lan has been in office for more than half a year.
"I told you, there are still two months left." Qiao Yu smiled. "Ever since he found out about the Zheng family, he's been writing to me asking a lot of questions. I told him to find out if he's curious about anything when he comes back. I guess he's in a hurry to come back."
"A lot of changes have happened in my family over the past six months."
The two of them were talking and laughing, and the two children were fed porridge by the wet nurse.
Zheng Tang especially likes to eat fish. The little girl is pretty and has fair skin with a rosy glow, which is very attractive. Every time she comes to Zheng Ci, Zheng Ci likes her so much that he wants to take her in and raise her himself.
"If you like girls so much, you should have one with Pei Ji," Qiao Yu said, looking embarrassed. "I almost forgot you were injured during childbirth. Look at my mouth."
Zheng Ci smiled nonchalantly, "I've raised him well, but this child is a matter of fate, you can't force it."
Qiao Yu also nodded in agreement.
After breakfast, the two picked up their needles and thread. Seeing that the weather was getting colder, they planned to sew some small clothes for the two children.
Although they have an embroiderer at home, the two of them still plan to do it themselves.
"Madam." Tian'er walked in with a serious expression.
Seeing that the master and servant had something to say, Qiao Yu was about to avoid it, but was stopped by Zheng Ci.
"Sister-in-law, you stay. You should know about this."
Qiao Yu sat down with some doubts.
Then I heard Tian'er talking about the unusual movements of the second-class maid in the courtyard, including the investigation into the story behind it.
She gasped.
"This, this is actually the prince and the imperial concubine's people."
Tian'er nodded, "Madam, I have traced all the way and found that these second-class maids came in within three months. Madam's courtyard was short of a few maids, and it just so happened that these maids could do everything, so they were bought in."
I was short of people, and I just happened to meet three of them. They were all so neat and tidy, I wouldn't believe it if I told you it wasn't a conspiracy.
Qiao Yu's expression suddenly changed. "What do they want to do?"
She was so frightened that her voice stuttered.
Zheng Ci comforted her, "Don't worry, sister-in-law, now that we know about it, we can prevent it from happening."
Qiao Yu nodded, "Little sister, whatever you plan to do, I'll listen to you."
Zheng Ci is a smart person. Since she said that, she must have had plans in advance.
Qiao Yu hugged Zheng Tang tightly in his arms.
After a brief discussion, Tian'er estimated that they would definitely make some moves in the next few days. Zheng Ci asked, "Can you guarantee your own safety?"
Tian'er nodded solemnly, "Don't worry, Madam. I'm confident they can't hurt me."
"Okay." She looked at Qiao Yu again, "Sister-in-law, leave the maids behind, and we'll go out and hide, taking our parents with us."
"Where to hide?" Qiao Yu's lips were trembling.
The struggles of the Tian family were too far away for her and the Qiao family.
When they suddenly heard that the imperial concubine and the prince actually wanted to plot against them, they found it unbelievable and even more frightened.
"There's a farm in the suburbs with a hot spring. Let's go there and take shelter."
After all, this manor belonged to Pei Ji, and now it has been handed over to her to manage. No matter how they planned, they would never have thought that they would actually go to the manor.
Tian'er was left behind to pretend to be someone else, so there was no chance of error.
The two of them discussed it quickly, and Qiao Yu hurried back to pack her things. She remembered Zheng Ci had told her not to bring too many things, so she simply packed two things. She didn't even tell her personal maid about this.
It is still unknown to what extent the prince and the imperial concubine's men have infiltrated this house, so no one can be trusted.
Qiao Xianglan and Zheng Huai also got the news.
Both of them agreed with Zheng Ci's opinion. Instead of confronting them head-on, it would be better to avoid the conflict and see what they really wanted to do.
In the evening, the small corner door opened and a group of people left the house quietly.
The hot spring villa is about an hour's walk from the house where they live.
When they first got on the carriage, Hu Zi and Song Tang were still full of energy. The two children rolled around in the carriage which was covered with thick bedding.
But they soon became tired and fell into a deep sleep.
"This child is so short-tempered." Qiao Yu looked at the girl in his arms lovingly.
"Yes." Zheng Ci continued, "Don't worry, sister-in-law."
Qiao Yu looked a little haggard. This matter was like a huge stone in her heart. Even though Zheng Ci had told her several times that it would not be a serious matter, she was still very frightened.
Zheng Ci could also understand that the Qiao family was just merchants and Qiao Yu was a girl, so they had little exposure to these things.
When he suddenly heard that the powerful royal family was plotting against him and others, he must have been afraid.
When we arrived at Zhuangzi, it was already dark.
Several people wore cloaks, trying to hide their faces as much as possible, and walked into the village.
The manager of the manor had already received the news that the masters were coming and had made preparations.
Zheng Ci looked at him and said, "Manager Li, don't let too many people know about our arrival. We must keep it a secret."
Manager Li said sternly, "Don't worry, Madam."
Zheng Ci nodded.
The accommodation had been cleaned up, and after a few simple tidying up, they fell into a deep sleep.
At this moment, "Zheng Ci", "Qiao Xianglan" and "Zheng Huai" in the house also fell asleep.
The next day, Qiao Yu woke up early in the morning.
Zheng Ci was still putting on her makeup. She had dark circles under her eyes and looked very worried as she sat in the room.
"Sister-in-law, what would you like to eat for breakfast?"
"Ah?" Qiao Yu looked up, bewildered.
Zheng Ci laughed. "I'm asking you, what would you like for breakfast? The food on the farm is all fresh. Just ask the cook to make whatever you want."
Qiao Yu: "I don't have much of an appetite, just something to eat will do."
Zheng Ci agreed and turned around to instruct, "Make something light and delicious. Don't add any seasoning to the children's porridge."
She didn't bring the cook from the mansion with her because she was afraid that the cook from the farm would not cook to her taste.
The two children are too young, and the food they eat now is all without any seasoning.
Breakfast arrived in about half an hour.
On the table were some fresh vegetables, some cold and some stir-fried, as well as some excellent stalk rice porridge.
