Chapter 176 The girl who was pulled into the pirate ship
No matter how stupid Mr. Yao is, he still knows that he has said bad things, so he should stop and admit his mistake quickly.
Mrs. Yao Er said angrily: "Why, do you think my sister-in-law is better than me? If you think my sister-in-law is better, why don't you marry her like her, instead of marrying me? Yao Deyan, don't go too far.
I am the one who has children with you, a son and a daughter..."
"Yes, yes, it's my fault, my fault. I made a slip of the tongue. Don't take it seriously. I just want to say that my sister-in-law is not as bad as you said. She has not always taken good care of me these few times."
Is it for all of us? You have also seen that mom didn’t like my sister-in-law before, but these days, what is it that mom doesn’t want to see her for?”
Mr. Yao Er spoke sincerely, but what he didn't know was that his words directly touched upon Mrs. Yao's pain point and struck a chord in her heart.
Could it be that she didn't know that Mrs. Yao had done several things very beautifully recently. It was because of her beauty that Gu Qingling liked Mrs. Yao and liked to leave things to Mrs. Yao to handle.
And these are exactly what Mrs. Yao Er least wants to see.
When the Yao family was in trouble, she could temporarily put aside the conflicts between her sisters and talk to the outside world, but she would not be happy if she wanted to see Mrs. Yao living a better life than her and becoming the matron of the Yao family.
The couple had a bit of an unpleasant quarrel for a while.

In the night, Uncle Yao and Mrs. Yao walked quietly on the road.
The maid and the boy behind him were very obedient and quietly slowed down their pace to give the couple some space.
There has been a lot of time recently, and it is rare for the two of them to take a leisurely walk like this, even though it is at night.
Unlike Mrs. Yao Er, Mrs. Yao was also a little worried about Gu Qingling's health. She gently said to Mr. Yao: "Your worry is right. The old lady has been in a bad mood recently. I don't know if it is this time."
Because of the incident, the old lady used to be energetic even if she didn't take a nap, but not anymore. I heard from the maid that the old lady hasn't been sleeping well since the smallpox incident, and her legs tend to cramp.
He said that he slept a lot and always looked tired..."
"That's why I said I was worried and wanted my mother to come with us, but she didn't want to." Uncle Yao frowned slightly, wondering if there was anything he could do to persuade her.
His mother only looked young, but she was actually quite old. In addition, he had been in prison and worried about this and that. He was really afraid that his mother's body would not be able to hold on.
Even he himself had been in jail for a while and had been busy since he was released. He had not been able to take a good rest and felt very tired.
He has already made up his mind to rest in Yunyang City first and then rush to Jinling before the New Year this year.
As for the place to stay, they had already sent letters to Jinling when they were in the capital. It seems that someone had already packed up the place at their ancestral home by this time, and when they arrived, the place to stay would have been prepared.
Mrs. Yao said: "It's just unwillingness that makes this matter difficult to handle. I also thought that everyone has been struggling so hard and we have left the capital. We can take our time and rest first so that everyone can take their time before setting off on the road.
"
"That's what I meant. I said it just now, but mother didn't agree. I don't know what mother is anxious about. She is rushing to Jinling." Uncle Yao's frown deepened, "Tell me, is there something wrong with mother?
Are things being hidden from us?"
Just like him and his mother, don't they also hide something from Mrs. Yao?
Maybe his mother was hiding something from him, maybe.
Mrs. Yao thought for a long time, but couldn't think of a reason. She could only shake her head: "I don't know, maybe there is, but Mr. Caitai doesn't want to say it, and there is nothing we can do. How stubborn is the old lady?
It’s not like you don’t know that if she doesn’t want to tell her, it will be really difficult for us.”
"But..." Uncle Yao said, "Are we just going to let my mother go on the road alone?"
"If there is really no other way, I can only find a way to arrange the waiters, and then send a few letters to Jinling to ask them to take good care of the old lady." This is also the last resort.
Uncle Yao knew that if he really couldn't be persuaded, he would have to do this.
Gu Qingling didn't care about this. When she returned to Yunyang City, she handed over the housekeeping here to Mrs. Yao. She also gave Dr. Yao a list of what was reliable and usable.
At the same time, they asked again how they would deal with the affairs of Yunyang City in the future. Seeing that there were no mistakes, they were ready to go.
Seeing that they could no longer persuade them, everyone could only tell Ma Chen, who was serving Gu Qingling, and the maid Chunchun and others, to take good care of the old lady no matter what. If anything happened to the old lady, they would be the only ones to ask questions.
When Gu Qingling set out on the road, the genius of Yunyang City had just lit up, showing some traces of sunlight.
Uncle Yao and the others didn't know that as soon as Gu Qingling left Yunyang City, he felt relaxed. He felt that the burden on his shoulders had been lifted, and there was a smile on his face.
God knows, if Uncle Yao, Second Master Yao, or any of them were to follow her, how would her heart be affected?
It is said that if you are pregnant for ten months, the melon will be ripe and fall off, but what if the melon in her belly falls early?
They wanted someone to follow them, so how could they not be alarmed by someone who was halfway there?
Even if it was just for confidentiality, Gu Qingling did not want "outsiders" in the accompanying team.
After driving for a few days, Gu Qingling called the eldest maid Chun Chun and said with a serious face: "Chun Chun, can I trust you?"
As soon as the eldest maid Chun Chun saw her serious expression, she knew that her master had something to tell her. She immediately straightened her back and replied with a serious face: "Yes, I only listen to my master."
Just like last time, when she was at Ningshan Temple, didn't she dare to "conceal" a huge thing for her master?
However, no matter how much the maid Qian could imagine, she never expected that what Gu Qingling told her was actually this - "Chun, I'm pregnant."
The eldest maid Chun Chun's eyes widened and she couldn't believe it: "Master...Master, Master, Master, you, what are you talking about?"
I almost couldn't even speak.
But opposite her, Gu Qingling's expression remained the same: "Didn't you notice that I've gained weight recently?"
The eldest maid reflexively turned her eyes to Gu Qingling's waist in spring, because this matter cannot be denied. Recently, she has indeed noticed that the old lady's waist has become "fat".
But the earl was dead, and the old lady had no male favorite. She only thought that he was old and had gained weight, and she didn't even think about getting pregnant.
Think about it, if the news that the old lady who died in the house was pregnant spreads out, how big of a wave would it cause?!
"I didn't expect it at first." For such an old lady who was bitten by a dog and was in menopause, how could Gu Qingling think about the problem of pregnancy? Regarding this point, Gu Qingling told the truth, "But later,
It moved. Slowly, I guessed it, but I didn't dare to tell outsiders, and I didn't dare to ask a doctor. I am a widow. If the news of my pregnancy spreads... In the spring, you know what will happen to me.
.And you, my personal maid, what will happen to you?"
The last sentence can be said to be a threat or a reminder.
In short, Gu Qingling wanted to tell the eldest maid that in spring, they were now grasshoppers on a rope.
If she is good, she can be good; if she is not good, no one can be good.
