Chapter 318 It’s not a good idea
Yiqiu Courtyard.
The maids Cuiyu and Cuiwei brought the dinner into the room and cautiously said to Aunt Wang, who had been sitting there with a stern face for a long time, "Aunt, it's time to eat."
Ever since the news that the Crown Prince's wife was pregnant with twins reached Yi Qiu Courtyard, the concubine who had been chatting and laughing with them about jewelry immediately put down the kingfisher plum blossom hairpin in her hand and her face darkened.
She turned around and asked slowly, "Is the news true?"
"In addition to the palace physician, the princess specially invited two experienced doctors from outside to take the princess' pulse. Both doctors also said that the princess was pregnant with twins.
"I heard that the maids from Shaoguang Court and Hanzhang Court who followed me today have all received rewards from their masters, and they are all very happy now."
As soon as she finished speaking, the room fell silent. Aunt Wang stared at the maid in front of her and asked solemnly, "Why? Are you envious?"
"I dare not." Cui Yu hurriedly knelt down to apologize, her face turning pale in an instant.
When Aunt Wang gets angry, she will really teach the servant a lesson herself.
Two days ago, because she inadvertently praised the Crown Prince's wife for her good looks, Aunt Wang pinched her arm until it was bruised. The scar has not healed yet.
Seeing Cuiyu kneeling down to confess her guilt, Aunt Wang sneered and glanced at Cuiwei who was standing beside her.
Cuiwei was so frightened that she knelt down with a loud bang, repeatedly saying, "I have absolutely no bad feelings towards you, my aunt."
Aunt Wang then slowly stood up and sneered, "Even if you want to climb up the social ladder, you have to consider whether you have the fate to do so!"
"You two are so eager to give up my humble Yiqiu Courtyard, but it's a pity that the thriving Shaoguang Courtyard and Hanzhang Courtyard don't even look down on you. Otherwise, you two would have disappeared long ago!"
Tears welled in Cui Yu and Cui Wei's eyes, and they both whispered their defenses. "I am clumsy and of humble origin. Being able to serve you is a great blessing. I dare not have any presumptuous thoughts again. I hope you will understand."
Looking at the two young maids who were bowing to her, the irritability that had been squeezing Aunt Wang's chest finally dissipated a little.
"Get up!"
Cui Yu Cui Wei received this instruction and then slowly got up from the ground.
The gentle voice of Aunt Wang came to my ears again, "Auntie is also feeling uncomfortable, so don't blame her."
It's another standard slap on the wrist and then a nice word.
The two of them hurriedly said they dared not, but contempt arose in their hearts again. Who would have known that Aunt Wang, who seemed gentle to the outside world, was actually so stingy and vicious in private!
If you want to blame someone, you can only blame their bad luck for serving such a master!
The two were about to leave when they heard Aunt Wang behind them again instruct: "After dinner, go to Anhe Courtyard to find the eldest master and tell him that I'm waiting for him in Yiqiu Courtyard."
The two of them nodded in response and quickly retreated.
Anheyuan in later years.
Su Chenghe, who had just returned from his aunt's place, sat powerlessly on the chair, silent for a long time. His thin face, which looked a little sick, was now furrowed with gloom and sorrow.
I don’t know how long it took, but he clenched his fists, gritted his teeth, got up and went to the main room.
Chen Yuehua was coaxing Su Yingzhen to eat some chopped apples, but the usually greedy little girl shook her head like a rattle and muttered, "Mom, Zhen'er doesn't want to eat it. Zhen'er doesn't like it."
"My dear, eat something. After you eat this piece, I will let you go to Shaoguangyuan to play with Second Aunt tomorrow." Chen Yuehua personally picked up a piece of apple and coaxed Su Yingzhen.
"Really?"
The little girl's eyes suddenly lit up, and she asked seriously, "Zhen'er ate this apple. Will mother let me go find Second Aunt tomorrow?"
Because Jinchu was pregnant, Chen Yuehua, in order to avoid suspicion, had indeed kept Su Yingzhen away from Shaoguangyuan for some time and seldom went to see Jinchu. The little girl had long missed her sweet and soft second aunt, as well as the many delicious and fun things in Shaoguangyuan.
Looking at her daughter's serious and expectant eyes, Chen choked slightly and didn't say a word.
If I agree, and don't let Zhen'er go out tomorrow, she will definitely cry and make a fuss in front of me; if I don't agree, this girl will probably cry and make a fuss in front of me right now.
At this moment of hesitation, Su Chenghe's voice rang out, "Go! Daddy will help mom promise Zhen'er that as long as you eat this ringo obediently, you will be able to go play with your second aunt tomorrow with some delicious food."
"Mom, look, Dad has agreed." Su Yingzhen pointed at Su Chenghe with her little hand and looked at Chen Yuehua with a happy face, "Dad said that Zhen'er will go to play with Second Aunt tomorrow."
Chen Yuehua looked at Su Chenghe disapprovingly. Just as she was about to speak, Su Chenghe stopped her. "This isn't the first time Zhen'er has come to visit your sister-in-law, and your sister-in-law really likes her. So, let Zhen'er get closer to your sister-in-law. I'm sure your father will be pleased to see this."
He turned to Chen Yuehua with a meaningful look on his face, "This is also a good thing for our Anhe Courtyard. Why do you have to stop Zhen'er from going to Shaoguang Courtyard?"
"But--" Chen Yuehua just said this, and was interrupted by Su Chenghe again, "There is no but."
He bent down and hugged Su Yingzhen, who was staring at his parents with wide eyes. He said in a loving and gentle voice, "Zhen'er, Dad and Mom have promised you that you will eat this ringo well. Tomorrow Dad will personally prepare a delicious snack for you. Then you can bring it to Second Aunt to try too, okay?"
"Okay, then Daddy, prepare some candied haws for Zhen'er! Last time I went to visit Second Aunt, she ate two candied haws made from hawthorns in a row and praised my candied haws for being delicious!"
The little girl spoke quickly and made a request to her parents.
She is such a polite little girl!
Every time she went to see her second aunt, she would not forget to bring her favorite snacks and give them to her second aunt to taste.
Although Second Aunt never refused the snacks she brought, she always tasted a little and then gave them back to her.
The only exception was the time before last when she brought some hawthorn candied haws made by her wet nurse to Second Aunt, and Second Aunt ate two at once. If Nanny Wang hadn't stopped her midway, she felt Second Aunt would have eaten all five candied haws in one go.
"Okay, then Dad, remember to ask wet nurse Zhang to make it. The candied haws she makes are the most delicious!" Su Yingzhen raised her face with a sweet smile, and did not forget to remind her parents.
"Okay, Dad and Mom have taken note of this. Dad will ask wet nurse Zhang to make candied hawthorns for Zhen'er and make sure she takes them to Second Aunt tomorrow."
Su Chenghe scratched his daughter's nose and made the promise seriously.
"Then Dad and Zhen'er make a pinky promise!"
Su Yingzhen stretched out her little finger and waved it at her father.
"Okay, Daddy makes a pinky promise with you!" Looking at his little daughter's innocent eyes, Su Chenghe squatted down and stretched out his finger.
"Pull the hook, hang yourself, don't change for a hundred years!"
After the little girl said this seriously, she left with the ringo fruit in her hands, feeling satisfied.
