After returning from Ruyi's place, Su Xiaoxiao seldom left Lichun Courtyard. Occasionally, Mo Qingqing would come over to chat. Bai Xue would come to talk to Su Xiaoxiao every day. As for the other ladies, they were never seen.
The sunshine is very good, spring has passed, and it is already early summer. Su Xiaoxiao is lying on the lounge chair with squinted eyes. Axiu is making tea next to her. Bai Xue is talking about women's topics from time to time. It is nothing more than the eldest young master again.
He went to spend the night in a certain lady's room, or what rewards the eldest young master gave to a certain lady. Su Xiaoxiao was not interested in these, and would say "hmm" from time to time to indicate that she was listening.
Suddenly, he saw one of Bai Xue's little girls standing at the entrance of the courtyard looking around, as if she had something to do with Bai Xue. Bai Xue glanced at Su Xiaoxiao, and just as she was about to say something, Su Xiaoxiao spoke first, "Jiu Sister, your girl seems to be looking for something."
If you have something to do, go back and deal with it first."
Su Xiaoxiao originally meant well, but when she said this, Bai Xue became embarrassed instead. She smiled unnaturally and said, "Sister is too worried. You can't say those things about your sister in front of her."
After saying that, he really called the little girl over and asked, "Is there something that you can't say in front of the young lady? Say it quickly!"
The little girl glanced at Bai Xue timidly, and then at Su Xiaoxiao. Bai Xue saw Su Xiaoxiao squinting her eyes, as if she didn't believe her sincerity, and hurriedly scolded, "What's the matter, why don't you tell me quickly?"
In fact, Su Xiaoxiao just felt that the early summer sunshine was a bit dazzling, so she squinted her eyes. Unexpectedly, she was misunderstood by the careless Bai Xue, and Su Xiaoxiao did not want to explain.
The little girl was scolded by Bai Xueyi and was so frightened that she knelt down on the ground with a pale face and said, "Madam, please calm down, please calm down!"
Su Xiaoxiao looked at the little girl's pale face in confusion. She seemed to be really frightened, and she felt a little confused. Didn't they all say that Bai Xue was the best to her servants?
"I say Ayu, even though this is your first time meeting the Young Madam, you don't have to be so scared, right? The Young Madam is the most approachable and is very kind to the servants." Axiu's gentle and kind words came to her ears,
When the little girl heard this, she looked at Axiu's smiling face, and her pale complexion really improved a lot.
Su Xiaoxiao laughed at herself in her heart, it turned out that she was the one they were afraid of, not her own master.
"Ayu, why don't you tell me, young lady, why are you here?" Bai Xue tried her best to squeeze out a smile. For some reason, she always felt that since Su Xiaoxiao escaped from death, she seemed to have become a different person.
The depth of wisdom and stupidity is unfathomable, so she has to brace herself to deal with it all the time.
"Actually, nothing happened. I just heard people say in the yard that the second lady suddenly fainted when she was admiring flowers in the garden. She called a doctor to see her. It turned out that she was more than a month pregnant."
Mo Qingqing is pregnant? Although Su Xiaoxiao was surprised, she didn't think it was anything. After all, Ding Shaoze looked like a normal man. What was so strange about his woman being pregnant?
Bai Xue, on the other hand, turned blue and seemed to be frightened. Su Xiaoxiao sighed in her heart. No wonder Bai Xue had such an expression. Bai Xue's status in the Ding family was not high to begin with. Ding Shaoze had no heirs. Now the second lady is pregnant.
, if a son is born, he will be the eldest son, and Mo Qingqing's status will rise. In comparison, Bai Xue's status will be suppressed.
Bai Xue's expression quickly returned to normal. When she saw Su Xiaoxiao's probing gaze, she gave a stiff smile and said, "I made my sister laugh. I am also happy for my second sister. After all, this is my husband's first child."
How could Su Xiaoxiao not know that she was forcing a smile? Seeing that her expression was really bad, she hurriedly said, "I'm tired and want to take a nap. Sister, please go back first."
At this moment, Bai Xue was overwhelmed by the news of Mo Qingqing's pregnancy. She was eager for this, so she declined a few words and left Lichun Hospital with the girl.
"Young Madam, it's already afternoon, do you still want to take a nap?" As soon as Bai Xue left, Axiu asked with a smile. Su Xiaoxiao glanced at her lightly, did not answer, and just lay comfortably on the recliner,
Squint your eyes.
"Young Madam, the Second Madam is our daughter, and now she is pregnant, Young Madam is not worried..."
Axiu didn't say any more, and cast her probing eyes at Su Xiaoxiao, who was dozing. Su Xiaoxiao hummed lightly and stopped talking. Seeing that Su Xiaoxiao didn't want to talk about this topic, Axiu packed up the tea sets and called the little girls.
Be quiet and don't disturb Su Xiao from taking a nap.
In the evening, when Su Xiaoxiao was asking Axiu to set up the meal, he saw Qiu'er and Shopkeeper Fu coming in with wind on their feet. Shopkeeper Fu was okay, but Qiu'er's eyes immediately turned red when she saw Su Xiaoxiao, and Su was taken aback.
Xiaoxiao was confused and knew that Qiu'er must have come to her because of something, so he said to Axiu, "Axiu, Qiu'er and Uncle Fu are here. Go to the kitchen and ask the cook to add two dishes."
Axiu nodded in agreement and stepped back. Before leaving the room, she glanced at Qiu'er, who had red eyes. She felt strange in her heart. Isn't Qiu'er the young lady's original girl? Why did the young lady call her "Chef" when she came?
My mother is cooking two dishes for just one girl. Does she need to be treated like a guest?
Axiu will never understand the love between Su Xiaoxiao and Qiu'er in times of adversity, and she won't ask. This is her cleverness. She never asks too many questions when she shouldn't. There are many ways to know the truth of the matter.
You don't have to bother your master.
As soon as Axiu left, only Qiu'er, Shopkeeper Fu and Su Xiaoxiao were left in the room. Qiu'er burst into tears after calling her "Miss", while Shopkeeper Fu carefully closed the door to prevent anyone from eavesdropping.
"Miss, what should we do?"
Qiu'er started crying as soon as she grabbed Su Xiaoxiao's hand, while Shopkeeper Fu also kept sighing.
"Qiu'er, what's wrong with you? Are you broken in love? Abandoned by a man? Or do you have no money?"
Qiu'er stared blankly at Su Xiaoxiao, her mouth flattened, and she kept crying into Su Xiaoxiao's ears, "Miss, don't force your smile, Qiu'er already knows, what should I do?
What's the best? How can I get a foothold in the Ding family in the future?"
Shopkeeper Fu also echoed, "Yes, yes."
Su Xiaoxiao looked at the wailing Qiu'er and the dejected Shopkeeper Fu. One was older than the other, and what song were they singing?
"Qiu'er, what's wrong with you? If you were abandoned by a man, it's because he has no vision. Don't cry. It's hard to find a three-legged toad in the world. Are there not many two-legged men?"
Qiu'er pursed her lips, wiped her tears, and choked, "Miss, I know you feel sad, but there is really no need for you to act indifferent in front of Qiu'er. Qiu'er knows it, Qiu'er knows it, and so does Miss.
Don't worry, you are still young, you will definitely have children, the second lady just has the upper hand temporarily..."
