"We have arrived in the city, but Tianqi is too ambitious and wants to monopolize that batch of goods. But tomorrow, he will regret it. By then, the shopkeepers' shops will have goods from the Western Regions to sell, and what Tianqi has hidden
The goods will also become worthless, and not only that, dad will also compensate the shopkeepers."
Meng Tianbo's breath sprayed on Xu Ruoshui's face. It was his unique smell. Xu Ruoshui didn't reject it. She seemed to rely on him when he was around. Just leaning on his shoulder made her feel extremely at ease.
"Aren't you the one who supplies goods to those shopkeepers?" Xu Ruoshui asked with a yawn.
Meng Tianbo smiled but did not answer. After tapping her nose, he said, "Go to sleep."
Xu Ruoshui turned over and walked away, but the curvature of her whole body was exactly what he wanted. Her body looked even smaller next to him. "Late Autumn?"
"Huh?" Xu Ruoshui didn't know what he asked, so he just answered vaguely and fell asleep.
Meng Tianbo opened his eyes, it was time to face everything.
When she woke up the next day, Xu Ruoshui had the rare opportunity to see Meng Tianbo still sleeping next to him. There was a set of curled eyelashes on his closed eyes, which would make ordinary women envious. He had been pretending to be stupid for several months after waking up. He must have been
Some plans have been made. Mrs. Meng saw his appearance last night, and her life will be difficult next.
"What are you looking at?" Meng Tianbo suddenly opened his eyes, making it impossible for her to dodge, and said hurriedly, "I...I was thinking about what mother would do to me when she knew you were awake?"
"Hey~~~" Meng Tianbo sighed, "I have prepared for everything else, but I couldn't predict this. I can only wrong you. But don't refute what Fan Niang said. Just accept it, okay?"
Xu Ruoshui blinked her smart eyes and responded softly.
"Let's sleep a little longer," Meng Tianbo turned around and hugged her, "I can't take care of you too much from now on, you'd better show your kindness in front of her, understand?" He was worried and explained again.
"Young master, the master is here and wants you to go out." Yan'er said from outside the curtain. Master Meng came so early without notifying him in advance. He must have something to do, otherwise he wouldn't have come in person.
Meng Tianbo stood up, unbuttoned his gown, and before moving forward, he placed a kiss on Xu Ruoshui's forehead, which made the person on the bed blush instantly. Meng Tianqi had never given such an intimate gesture, and Xu Ruoshui couldn't help but lose consciousness.
Yan'er came in to wash up, and also avoided the conversation between Mr. Meng and his son. However, after a while, he heard Mrs. Meng's voice again. Xu Ruoshui hurriedly put on clothes, combed her hair and went out, facing Mr. Meng and Mr. Meng.
The lady saluted, "Father, mother."
"Yes." Mr. Meng responded, but Mrs. Meng made no sound and sat on her hands with a sullen face. Her arrival interrupted the previous conversation between Meng Tianbo and Mr. Meng.
"Master, if you have something to say that you can't say openly in front of others, why do you have to come here secretly to say it?" Mrs. Meng had already asked people to watch the Ningxiang Hall, and went to report the news whenever there was any trouble.
"It's all business matters, madam, you don't understand," Mr. Meng said.
When she heard that it was a business matter, Mrs. Meng was even more clinging to it, "Then why didn't you ask Tianqi to come over? We are both sons. This master's mind is too biased."
When Mr. Meng heard her mention Meng Tianqi, all the anger in his heart was aroused, "Now I have to deal with the consequences of that unfilial son. If he comes here, it will only get worse. If you dare to ask him to come over, I think it will be avoided."
Alright."
Mr. Meng didn't want to talk to Mrs. Meng anymore. He stood up and said, "Tianqi, let's go out and talk. This matter is too strange. Dad still can't figure it out."
"Yes, Dad," Meng Tianbo looked normal, not curious about the so-called strange things at all, because he had already arranged everything, but he was worried about Xu Ruoshui. He looked at her again, only when she nodded, he felt relieved
Go out with Mr. Meng.
Mrs. Meng did not follow, but asked Xu Ruoshui, "Wan Qiu, it's time for you to give me an explanation, right? When did Tian Bo wake up?"
This problem must be faced sooner or later and is difficult to avoid. Xu Ruoshui knelt down and said, "My daughter-in-law only found out last night, at the same time as my mother."
"Do you think I will believe you when you say that?"
Of course Xu Ruoshui didn't expect Mrs. Meng to believe it, so she could only say timidly, "If mother doesn't believe it, there is nothing my daughter-in-law can do."
"Okay, very good," Mrs. Meng said in a lowered voice, "Take your maid and come with me."
Meng Tianbo said that at this time, just follow Mrs. Meng's words, Xu Ruoshui took Yan'er and followed Mrs. Meng out of Ningxiang Hall. The two maids Baoju and Baozhu had already felt Mrs. Meng's displeasure, and they both
I sweated a lot for Xu Ruoshui.
The group went to Chunhui Courtyard. Mrs. Meng scolded Baoju and asked Mrs. Wang to come over. She told Xu Ruoshui, "Go and tidy up my backyard."
Punishing herself for doing rough work? Xu Ruoshui thought to herself that Mrs. Meng was quite interesting. Compared with the method of punishing Zi Yan, she was a little softer on herself. There was a well in the yard. Xu Ruoshui and Yan'er fetched water and went in to clean up.
The house that was almost full of dust could even be described as a woodshed.
"Young mistress, isn't Madam trying to embarrass you? This house is not occupied by people. Why does the woodshed need to be kept so clean?" Yan'er complained while working.
Xu Ruoshui rolled up her sleeves and was wiping a table, "Stop complaining, just do whatever the lady asks you to do."
"But... But this is just a slave. You are the eldest mistress after all. Why do you do this maid thing?" The eldest mistress, this status is not high, and she is the wife of a concubine, even if she is a biological child.
Wife, Mrs. Meng is still indifferent as usual. If Yan'er wants to complain, just blame herself for not being reincarnated into the royal family.
"You forgot, I used to be a maid," Xu Ruoshui teased herself. She didn't stop moving her hands. The table was covered with thick dust, but she didn't know there were a few nails underneath. As soon as the handkerchief was wiped over, Xu Ruoshui suddenly felt
There was a tingling pain in the palm of my hand. Blood flowed out of the palm, mixed with dirty water, and it felt like a handful of salt had been sprinkled on it.
"Ah~~~" Yan'er screamed, squatting on the ground, covering her eyes with her hands and crying out in pain.
"Yan'er, what's wrong with you?" Xu Ruoshui ignored the pain and wrapped the handkerchief over the wound on her hand to check Yan'er's condition. A white and tender little face was covered with white ash. She just held up the hand
The broom swept away the dust on the beam, never thinking that there was something else on it. Xu Ruoshui reached out and touched a handful of white dust, wanting to take a closer look at what it was.
My hands were still wet with water. When I grabbed it, I immediately felt a burning pain. What on earth was this white ash?
