When Wan's mother heard what the man said, she said: "You just want to get more money. Let me ask you, how much can she sell for if she is sold there? You have to tell the truth and dare to lie and deceive. You will eat it."
I can’t walk around in circles.”
Although the man didn't recognize Jiang Nuan's chariot and horses, looking at the crowds of people shouting in front of him, he knew that he was either rich or noble, and he couldn't afford to offend him personally.
Anyway, this woman was resold to him by someone else, and he was specifically asked to sell her to that place.
He thought the deal was a good deal, so he agreed.
In fact, he had no enmity or enmity with this woman, nor did he mean to do anything to her.
"She looks quite upright, and she can still be sold for thirty or forty taels of silver," the man said.
Mother Wan was an experienced person and knew that he was not lying, so she said, "If it works, I will give you forty taels of silver, and you can just sell her to me."
After hearing this, the woman immediately thanked Jiang Nuan profusely and kowtowed to Jiang Nuan.
"Okay, get up! Our lady is kind-hearted, and I have saved you this time. But there is no shortage of people in the house. I will ask someone to take you to Zhuangzi in a while. You can stay over there!" Wan's mother
explain.
I gave the money to the man and took the girl's deed.
Mother Wan was literate, so she looked at the name on it and said, "Your name is Zhu Chengzi?"
"Yes, this is the name my parents gave me so that I could have a younger brother in the next child." The woman said, "But later on, when I sold it to the owner, I changed the name."
Wan Mama and the others were anxious to return to the city, so they didn't ask any questions. They just said, "When you get to Zhuangzi, you must behave yourself and obey the orders of the steward there."
Mother Wan asked someone to send the maid to Zhuangzi.
Halfway along the way, the maid asked the person leading her: "Sister-in-law, I wonder which family you are from?"
"We are the Huo family of Dingbei. The person who just sent us the message to buy you is our wife, whose maiden name is Jiang." The daughter-in-law told her.
Who would have thought that this maid was stunned when she heard this.
"Why don't you leave?" the wife stopped and asked her, "It's just ahead."
"Nothing." The maid quickly shook her head.
"What's your name? Which mansion do you work in?"
"My name is Xiaoyun. The original owner's family is from a small family. Even if you tell me, you don't know." The maid thought for a while but did not tell the truth.
The daughter-in-law didn't care, so she took her to the village to meet the manager and told her what happened.
After hearing this, the supervisor of Zhuangzi said: "Since Mother Wan said so, let her stay here. It seems that she can't do too heavy a job like this, tending the flowers and plants, feeding the birds raised here,
A bird will do."
"Quickly thank the house manager, and then I'll leave." The wife said.
"Sister-in-law Yue, just wait, I'll ask someone to bring the donkey to you." The steward said hurriedly, "It's getting dark now. You're going to go to town too slowly."
These people work as errands around Jiang Nuan, and they are all powerful people in the government. The people in charge of Zhuangzi are usually very hard to please.
"That's great, thank you very much." Sister-in-law Yue didn't refuse.
This was originally a trivial matter, but neither Jiang Nuan nor the people in Zhuangzi took it seriously.
Zong Tianbao was sitting in the study. The tea on the desk was completely cold, and he didn't take a sip.
The new maid didn't dare to come forward. The uncle was in a bad mood recently and no one dared to provoke him.
The sky outside is a little gloomy, and the light in the room is even darker.
Zong Tianbao sat there for a long time, his heart was empty and he couldn't find any support.
Chengyun was kicked out because he couldn't explain clearly.
With the evidence in front of her, Zong Tianbao couldn't do it even if he wanted to favor her.
Although Chengyun repeatedly said that she did not do it, no one in this family except her would harm Jiang Qing and her son.
It's not like Zong Tianbao has never thought about it, Jiang Qing did the opposite.
But as soon as the idea came up, he gave it up.
Jiang Qing may use her birth date as a tactic, but a mother would never do this to her child.
Even if the ghosts and gods are false, they will never touch them.
Zong Tianbao looked up out the window and sighed again.
He felt like a small boat floating on the water, aimless and without a destination.
Some time ago, Cheng Yun could bring him a bit of comfort, but now he only felt confused.
"Uncle, it's time for dinner." This time it was the maid in front of Jiang Qing who was invited.
When she found those things in Chengyun's house, Jiang Qing didn't cry or make a fuss. She just looked at Zong Tianbao, picked up the child and said to him: "Just like the day when I found the embroidery needle in Brother Xing's clothes,
I'll leave it to you.
If you think she just made an honest mistake, that's up to you.
I have been married for so long, and you have never given me a good look. It seems that what happened back then was all my fault.
I don't want to argue with you, let alone quarrel with you. If you can't give us justice today, then I will go back to my parents' home with the child in my arms.
When the master and his wife come back, we will get together.
You can marry any girl you like, but my son must stay with me, and I cannot let him be with my stepmother."
Zong Tianbao finally drove Cheng Yun away.
"Uncle, please come over for dinner. Grandma is waiting for you." The maid urged again.
"I know, let's go." Zong Tianbao felt that he was slowly accepting his fate.
Some things are destined to never go back, and he would not look at them even if he never looked at them, but he still had to think about his children.
As soon as he stood up, his vision went dark and he quickly held on to the table.
After a while, the dizziness passed.
He thought it was because he had been sitting for too long, or because he hadn't slept well these past few days.
Regardless of her inner feelings, Jiang Qing can be considered a good wife.
Mrs. Zong was not at home, so Jiang Qing personally took care of Zong Tianbao's daily food, clothing and transportation.
Every meal was Zong Tianbao's favorite, but he didn't know what Jiang Qing's taste was like.
"Brother Xing, look who's here?" Jiang Qing held the child in her arms, and the smile on her face became more obvious when she saw Zong Tianbao coming.
When Brother Xing saw his father, he pierced his little hands and tried hard on him.
There was also a sound like "hug" coming out of his mouth.
When Zong Tianbao saw his son, he put aside his unhappiness and took the child from Jiang Qing's arms.
"This child, if you don't see your father for a while, look for him." Jiang Qing wiped the child's saliva with her handkerchief, "Don't turn into a follower when you leave."
"Why is he drooling so much?" Zong Tianbao found that the child was drooling a lot these days.
"Mother Pan said, this is teething." Jiang Qing said with a smile, "Other people's children have teething at four or five months. He has only started teething now, which is already too late."
Because of their children, the two of them talk a lot every day.
