At this time, no one noticed a figure appearing behind the curtain.
"The eldest mistress, I have already explained it to the master. The master did not ask any more questions. The little one said the same thing even in front of the master." Xiao Shunzi bent down and said, thinking about how to deal with the eldest mistress next.
"I am busy, so I may have believed what you said, but if I tell you my doubts, will I let you go so easily? If you honestly tell me why you are there, I can think about whether to go or not.
Talk to the master." Xu Ruoshui is sure that Xiao Shunzi is hiding the truth. He has not died once, and he will not be careful every step of the way. Using these methods is tiring and even more tiring.
Xiao Shunzi couldn't stand any longer, her toes were rubbing against the ground, as if she was thinking about something.
"Don't worry, I won't tell others. Although I am the eldest mistress, I also know that doing more is worse than doing less. You also know that I dote on the eldest young master. I am forcing this just to be in case. The people in this house There are people coming and going, and there is no guarantee that the young master will still bump into each other in the future." Xu Ruoshui took out a large bag of silver from his sleeve, with a total of twenty taels of silver in it, "Take the silver here, if you want to leave the house and make a living again. Or you can use it for self-defense."
Xiao Shunzi quickly waved his hand and declined, "I have nowhere to go, so naturally I still stay in the house as an errand, but I can't accept the money. Alas..." He sighed helplessly, "I also just want to find a job.
Anshengzi, it seems, is no longer possible."
Xu Ruoshui motioned for him to sit down and talk, but he did not refuse. He moved a stool and sat down two steps away from Xu Ruoshui, "Yesterday, I took the eldest young master to play in the outer courtyard. It was pretty good at the beginning.
Yes, but as the number of guests increased, the master could not be separated, so he asked the second young master to take the eldest young master back to the inner house, and the younger one did not follow the eldest young master. When the luncheon started, the younger one saw the young master in the greenhouse.
Cripple Li was walking toward the lotus pond with a saw. He looked so mysterious that the kid wanted to play a trick on him, so he secretly handed it to him and followed him to see what he was going to do."
"Soon, the younger one lost track of him. After searching for a long time, he couldn't find him, so he went to the stage to watch the people in action. At the same time, the younger one saw the older one playing on the dwarf pile, and wanted to tell him to come down quickly.
But the eldest young master found that his feet were shaking very much. He panicked and stamped his feet to call someone, but it was too late. The low pile quickly broke and the eldest young master fell into the water. Because the water level was relatively shallow, he stopped.
The younger one saw the lame Li emerging from the water. The lame Li was so ambitious that he picked up the saw in his hand and hit the eldest young master on the head."
Xu Ruoshui was frightened when he heard this. In such a lively house, no one noticed that Meng Tianbo was playing on the stage. It was simply unbelievable. "The eldest young master was knocked unconscious?"
"Yes, the little one quickly called someone because the water level was not high, so he went into the water and pulled up the young master," Xiao Shunzi said, looking at Xu Ruoshui, and then added, "Everything Xiao Shunzi said is true.
, I dare not mention it in front of the master, if he finds out that I have something to hide, he will definitely kick me out of the house."
"Of course I know this and will keep it a secret for you, but you have to answer me a question honestly."
"Please tell me, young lady," Xiao Shunzi knew that she had nothing to hide, but the seemingly gentle and peaceful young lady actually gave people an irresistible pressure.
"Is Cripple Li sent there by the Second Young Master?" Xu Ruoshui couldn't ignore Meng Tianqi. Master Meng also mentioned it when he was talking to himself yesterday.
"Well, I haven't seen the second young master call me Cripple Li," Xiao Shunzi hesitated for a moment before expressing his thoughts.
Just because he didn't see it with his own eyes, it doesn't mean that Meng Tianqi won't do it. After all, he was able to make Meng Tianbo stay alone in the backyard room that was already in ruins.
If there was too much, nothing could be asked. Xu Ruoshui took out an ingot of five taels of silver from his purse and said, "If there is too much, you don't want it. Just take this and treat it as hush money from me. Don't talk about this matter again."
Others talk about it, you know?"
Xiao Shunzi was really smart, so the positions of the two parties were reversed. It was Xu Ruoshui who came to him to buy information, so that he would not be dragged into the water.
After sending Xiao Shunzi down, Xu Ruoshui entered the bedroom, intending to check on Meng Tianbo. The bedroom was so quiet that only his steady breathing remained, "Tianbo, Tianbo." He called twice, but there was no response. Xu Ruoshui
Ruoshui sighed, "You have a good rest, I'll go to my mother's place to check on you."
Meng Tianbo opened his eyes and then quickly closed them.
Xu Ruoshui put on a bright yellow feather-front Suzhou embroidered dress, and gave the pair of butterfly tassel hairpins to Wang Mengjiao. She had no matching hair accessories, so she only inserted two small pearl hairpins and went out, telling Yan'er to take good care of the house. If Meng Tianbo
If you want to go out, be sure to ask Xiao Shunzi to follow you closely.
Yan'er pursed her lips and responded, the master rarely left her in the yard.
Several pots of flowers in the yard were already in bloom. Xu Ruoshui saw the pot of green chrysanthemums at a glance. The small ones exuded a faint fragrance. She pulled two flowers and put them against the water tank next to them.
Among the buns, "it looks pretty good." She showed an innocent smile to her reflection.
This scene fell into the eyes of Meng Tianbo beside the bed.
Chunhui Hall was not as lively as expected. Logically speaking, Fang Liying must come out to accompany her to win Mrs. Meng's favor.
Under the shade of the pine trees in the yard, Mrs. Meng was lying on the mahogany couch, with Baoju Baolan beside her fanning her.
"Mom, why are you resting in the yard in such a hot weather? I'm seriously suffering from heatstroke." Xu Ruoshui asked with concern, walking faster and walked to Mrs. Men, curtsying.
Meng Feiren opened his eyes, his eyes were a little blurry, and he looked twice before he could clearly see the person coming, "It's late autumn, why are you here? Is the eldest young master's injury better? I was tired from socializing yesterday, and I feel a lot weaker today.
, so I didn’t go to see her.”
"Okay," Xu Ruoshui took the fan from Bao Ju's hand and asked strangely, "Why don't you see your new aunt?"
"Hahaha..." Mrs. Meng said happily after hearing this, "Let the two of them have a good rest. I gave birth to a fat grandson this morning. It doesn't matter whether he comes to say hello or not."
It should be Mrs. Meng's biggest wish to have a fat grandson.
"So it's like this. My daughter-in-law is stupid. It seems that I have to prepare a big gift. When my eldest nephew is born, I, as an aunt, can't live in poverty." After Xu Ruoshui finished speaking, he looked up at the increasingly intense sun.
, then Meng Tianqi and Fang Liying are really in love, on this hot day.
