191. Chapter 191 Contradictions between love and ambition 5
After lunch, Xia Hou Ranluo asked his servants to pick up his biological mother, Mrs. Xu Liu, Mrs. Zheng, at the address given by Xu Jitong.
Zheng was born into a commoner family. When she was young, she was sold to the Xu Mansion as a maid because her father was fond of gambling and had many brothers and sisters. She was originally a maid in the eldest lady's garden, so when she was admitted by Xu Pu as the sixth
When she was a concubine, the other five wives in the Xu family hated her very much, so now that something happened, they would not take care of Mrs. Zheng.
Although Xu Jitong, the only son of the Zheng family, was selected by Queen Wenwen to be sent to Gongguo as a marriage tool, and he was quite handsome on the surface, without Xu Jitong by his side, Gongguopingjun who was far away would naturally not be able to take care of his family in the Xu Mansion.
Zheng's biological mother was in the hospital, and Xu Pu was in trouble, so Zheng had no one to take care of her when she was sick, which made her look extremely pitiful.
Zheng's birth was not good, and she was once a slave. More importantly, her health was not good after giving birth to Xu Jitong. Naturally, she was not loved by Xu Pujin. Presumably Xu Jitong, who was a concubine in the past, was also not loved by Xu Pujin.
However, Wuyuan was originally the child of Zheng's cousin, and was sold to the Xu Mansion for various reasons, so he became Xu Jitong's servant. The three of them depended on each other in the Xu Mansion. At this time, only Xu Jitong was able to survive.
Take care of Mrs. Zheng.
After roughly understanding Xu Jitong's life experience, and also understanding that his mother's Xu family had been ruined, it must be that... Xu Pujin's situation has not turned around, and even if it does, it may not be half of its former glory.
"The wife." Seeing Xia Hou Ranluo standing in the yard, Xu Jitong, who had just taken care of Zheng to take medicine and fall asleep, came out of the room and greeted him, "Feng Guo Yehan, why don't you go back to the room?"
To avoid catching a cold."
"I'm fine. It didn't snow today. It's rare to see such a clear sky." Xia Houranluo smiled slightly at Xu Jitong behind him, "Has Madam slept?"
"Yes, thank you to the wife for letting me pick her up. In fact, I am not worried about leaving her in the inn, but when I brought her here, I was just worried about whether it would bring danger to the wife." Xu Ji
The main reason why she didn't dare to take Zheng back to the house at the beginning was because she was worried that Xia Hou Ranluo would be discovered to have come to the imperial capital. Emperor Zhan might take some action against her. If Xia Hou Ranluo hadn't spoken in person, this master would have
But I dare not do it.
"It's okay."
I hope I can save his life."
Xu Jitong nodded, put his arms around Xia Houranluo, and sighed deeply.
※※※
Early the next morning, Xia Houranluo received another letter from Fu Siji, saying that the case regarding Gong Li Yangxuan had been dropped. During the morning court, Emperor Zhan had withdrawn the order to place Gong Li Yangxuan under house arrest.
Yang Hyun has been released, and now all the fingers are pointed at Xu Pujin. Xu Pujin's case should have been finalized.
"The wife?"
Hearing Xu Jitong's voice, Xia Houranluo quickly crumpled the letter into a ball in his hand, raised his hand gently, and the letter turned into powder.
When Xu Jitong came in with the snacks, there was no trace of the letter, so he didn't notice the unnatural look on Xia Houranluo's face, and directly brought the snacks in front of her: "My wife's wife"
"This is the snack that my mother is best at making. She taught me how to make it. I made it as soon as I got up early in the morning. Wife, please try it. This is a little gesture from my mother and I to thank you."
