"I don't know either, but it's always right to be careful." After all, she is the one who will be serving by her side in the future, so Tong Jia has to be more cautious; not to mention that she is displeased with Li Wei's betrayal of Niu Hulu and his reliance on her.
There is still some suspicion, but not complete trust.
In the days that followed, Changshou followed Tong Jia's words and secretly paid attention to Li Wei's every move, and found that he was doing everything as usual, without any unusual movements.
The spring light at the end of April is gradually getting older, the days are getting longer and the nights are getting shorter, and summer is beginning to begin. The baby in Tong Jia's belly has also passed through August to the ninth month safely, and will be born in less than two months.
On this day, Tong Jia was walking in the garden with the support of Li Wei and Huamei. The imperial doctor said that in the third trimester of pregnancy, if the body can eat well, it will be easier to move around, so that it is easier to give birth, so starting from the seventh month of pregnancy,
She would come to the garden for a walk every day; and every time she came to the garden, the baby in her belly would move very happily. She thought she knew she could go out and walk around, so she was very happy.
As she approached several pear trees that were as blooming as winter snow, a white thing suddenly jumped out from behind the tree. It was very fast. Before Tong Jia could see what it was, it had already run past her feet.
After two clicks, he disappeared into the flowers not far away.
"Snowball! Snowball, don't run away!" Before anyone could react, a small figure ran out from where the thing had jumped out before. It was Hongshi. He was chasing the thing. He didn't even know it before.
He didn't notice Tong Jiashi. When he found out, he tried to avoid it and couldn't hold back anymore. He bumped into Tong Jiashi's belly. If he was hit, something big would happen!
Tong Jiashi screamed and couldn't avoid it. She could only watch Hong Shi's figure getting closer and closer to her. Not far away, a pair of eyes were silently watching everything she had accomplished with her own hands.
Tong Jialiluo, I not only want your child to die, I also want you to die!
At the critical moment, a figure quickly stood in front of Tong Jia, and was hit by Hongshi. Amid the muffled groan, the two legs seemed to have taken root, sticking to the ground without moving at all, and the body was half-bowed.
Firmly protect Tong Jia's belly.
It wasn't until Hongshi was knocked to the ground with an "oops" sound, that Li Wei grinned and said to the stunned Tong Jia, "Master, are you okay?"
Tong Jiashi stared at Li Wei with a pale face, never expecting that he would be blocking her side at such a critical moment. It took a long time to come back to her senses, shook her head and said, "I'm fine."
"That's good!" Li Wei breathed a sigh of relief and stood up despite the pain of being hit.
It was only then that the nanny rushed over in a hurry, picked up Hongshi who was rubbing his head vigorously, and said nervously: "Brother Shi, is it okay?"
Huamei was so frightened by the thrilling scene that she broke out in a cold sweat. When she saw the wet nurse, she immediately yelled and cursed: "How did you look at Brother Shi and let him run out like this? Did you know that he almost hit my house just now?"
Master! If something happens to my master and the unborn child, can you bear it?"
The nanny was so panicked that she apologized repeatedly. However, Hongfang in her arms did not realize this. He pointed to the place where Bai Ying disappeared and said hurriedly: "Xueqiu, Snowball ran in there. Nanny, help me find it back."
"Shh, brother Shi, don't make trouble! You haven't met Tong Fujin yet." After the nanny reminded him, Hongcai remembered what happened just now, his face turned pale, and he quickly greeted Tong Jia in a polite manner.
He bowed his head and hid behind the wet nurse, saying in a low voice: "I'm sorry, Aunt Tong, I didn't mean it. Please don't tell my direct wife about this, okay?"
Tong Jia stroked her frightened chest and said with a forced smile: "Brother Shi has been calling for Xueqiu, but what happened to him just now?"
As soon as Snowball was mentioned, Hongshi immediately became energetic and was no longer so afraid. He hummed and said, "Xueqiu is a cat and is usually very obedient. But just now, for some reason, he ran out.
I don’t know where he has gone now." He looked around worriedly, fearing that Snowball would disappear.
Tong Jiashi's heart moved and asked: "Who gave you this cat?"
The nanny's face tightened, fearing that Tong Jia would find out about her secret collection of money, so she quickly interrupted: "No one can give it to me. It's a wild cat that Brother Shi accidentally found in the garden. Brother Shi thought it was pitiful.
Just come here and feed me every day.”
"Is that so?" Tong Jia turned his suspicious eyes to Hongshi.
Hongshi glanced at the nervous nanny with a strange look. He didn't understand why she was telling lies. When he wanted to tell the truth, he suddenly remembered that he had promised his aunt not to tell anyone this secret. Although his aunt often taught him not to
He can lie, but he should also be taught that his words must count.
"Brother Shi, Tong Fujin is asking you something, please speak quickly!" The nanny kept winking at Hong Shi, not caring whether a five-year-old child could understand what he meant.
Hongshi tilted his little head and thought for a long time, then finally nodded and said: "Well, I accidentally found the snowball in the garden."
Children are the worst at lying. Tong Jiashi could see through Hong Shi's inner struggle and hesitation at a glance, and without exposing it, she smiled and took Hong Shi's hand and said, "In that case, my aunt will send you back now."
The attitude of the wet nurse and Hongshi made her suspicious, wondering whether all this might be related to the Nala family, so she wanted to test it out.
Although Hongshi and the wet nurse were in trouble, they couldn't object to Tong Jia's words and could only follow step by step.
When leaving, Li Wei glanced at the empty place behind him strangely. For some reason, from just now, he vaguely felt a pair of eyes staring at him, which made him feel uncomfortable all over.
Hanyuan was in the middle, and Nala was teaching Lingxi how to embroider double-sided embroidery. He saw Tong Jia coming in together with Hongshi, which was quite strange. After asking carefully, he learned from Huamei that Hongshi had almost caused a big accident in the garden just now.
Misfortune, for a moment he was frightened and angry, his expression became extremely ugly, he glared at the nanny and said: "Brother Shi, didn't he go to class? Why is he playing in the garden, and where did the cat come from?"
The wet nurse quickly knelt down and said: "I am guilty of this slave. One time when Brother Shi was passing by the garden, he saw a wild cat and liked it very much. So these days, every time after class, Brother Shi brings something to the garden to feed the cat.
After playing with it for a while, I thought it was just a trivial matter, so I didn’t report it to my direct descendant Fujin!"
"You are so brave, you actually made your own decision!" Nala was furious, and then looked at Hongshi, who had lowered his head early, and scolded: "Kneel down!"
Hongshi didn't dare to tell the difference, so he knelt down next to the wet nurse, raised his face and whispered: "My child knows that he was wrong, and he will never dare to do it again!"
"Last time you were digging for earthworms in the garden, I told you not to have fun in the future and study hard. But you were so ignorant of progress that you went to play secretly without telling me, and you almost got into trouble.
Damn it, do you want to make me angry to death?"
[Author's digression]: Many book friends asked me in the book review section whether Li Wei was a real betrayal or a fake betrayal. Well, please allow me to give it a try first, and I will reveal the mystery in a few days.
