Splendid peasant girl busy farming

Chapter 3494 Inside Story
Speaking of Xiaohuan's natal family, both Yang Ruoqing and Ping'er were silent.

Both Xiaohuan and Ping'er used to be servant girls, and both were slaves.

Xiaohuan is the son of the Prince of Xiangyang's mansion, his parents are working in the palace of the prince, his elder brother and sister-in-law and the nephews and nieces born to his elder brother and sister-in-law are all slaves of the Prince of Xiangyang's mansion.

Even if Xiaohuan is married to Zhou Wang now, Xiaohuan is still a slave.

In the future, if their son wants to study and become an official, it will be a very difficult matter. He has to go to the government to get rid of Xiaohuan's slave status.

But Xiaohuan's deed of selling herself was firmly in Zhou Xia's hands. Unless Zhou Xia nodded, even if she went to the government, the government would not respond.

Daqi has clear and strict regulations on household registration.

And Ping'er, although compared to Xiaohuan, the daughter-in-law of the Prince's Mansion in Xiangyang, Beijing, is inferior to Xiaohuan, a maidservant from the Prince's Mansion, in terms of knowledge and training.

But Pinger is a little luckier than Xiaohuan.

That is, Ping'er's contract of prostitution has always been controlled by Huahua's mother-in-law Zhou.

Before Zhou's death, the last ray of human light flickered, in order to make Ping'er feel grateful to herself, so as to bring up Huahua well,

Zhou not only entrusted her last box of gold, silver and jewelry to Pinger as Huahua's dowry, but also returned Pinger's contract of sale to Pinger, and asked Pinger to go to the government to eliminate her slave status.

So now Pinger is also free, and the child she will have with Zhou will be able to study and take the scientific examination.

"Hey, let's not talk about my natal family, there are a lot of annoying things to talk about."

Xiaohuan waved her hand, pulling Yang Ruoqing and Ping'er back from their thoughts.

"Qing'er, you can accompany me to the toilet in the backyard. I've been standing here for a while and I want to pee all the time." Xiaohuan said.

Yang Ruoqing glanced at Xiaohuan's big belly and smiled.

In the late pregnancy, the fetus grows heavier and weighs on the bladder, so the urge to urinate will be more frequent.

When she was pregnant with Chen'er and the baby, darling, that taste... No matter where she goes, she can take nothing with her, except for the urine bucket.

The two came to the backyard, and when Xiaohuan finished using the toilet, the two sat down under a camphor tree in the backyard.

The shade is cool, and the fragrance under the tree is pleasing to the eye.

It was supposed to make people feel refreshed and happy, but after Xiaohuan sat down, she looked sad and worried.

"Why do you look like this? Pregnant women should maintain a good mood, otherwise it will affect the character of the child in the future."

Yang Ruoqing said with a smile.

Xiaohuan looked at Yang Ruoqing helplessly, and said: "If you are like me, and you have a very scheming, insidious, ruthless sister-in-law who specially cheats on the relatives around you, you probably won't be able to laugh."

The smile on Yang Ruoqing's face disappeared, "Do you know anything about Zhou Xia?"

Xiaohuan nodded, "Brother Zhou Wang doesn't know what I know. I don't dare to tell him how scary Zhou Xia is."

"After all, they are brothers and sisters, a compatriot of the same mother, even if he usually said it, he would hate it so much,"

"But at critical moments, Brother Zhou Wang will still protect Zhou Xia just like my mother-in-law."

"I have been Zhou Xia's maid for more than two years in the Xiangyang Palace in the capital city. I know her shady schemes and schemes better than anyone else. They can't believe it when I tell you, including you Qing'er." Small ring road.

"You don't need to say it, I believe it, because I have personally experienced Zhou Xia's methods, and more than once." Yang Ruoqing sneered.

"In the past, when the Luo family didn't have enough to eat and wear warm clothes, she was too lazy to look at my uncle and Tang Yazi,"

"Later, the Luo family gradually got better, and Tang Yazi gradually showed her capable side, so she began to fall in love with him and wanted to marry him,"

"In the beginning, she pretended to be innocent, little white flower, but Tang Yazi explicitly rejected her, so she started to use her brains to make cooked rice with him."

"This crooked brain has been used more than once. She used the same method twice on Tang Yazi."

"It's a pity that Tang Yazi didn't get the trick twice. In the end, he lifted a brick and smashed his own foot. In the second round, he lost his life to Wangfu and had to completely give up thinking about Tang Yazi." Yang Ruoqing said.

"I knew about the time when I lost my life to Wangfu, because I was also in Changping Village that time, and my mother-in-law was on the sidelines to fuel the flames, and the two of them wanted to harm Tang Yazi together." Xiaohuan said.

"At that time, I was already married to Brother Zhou Wang, but the mother and daughter still scolded and punished me. They kept everything from me and tried to get me out."

Speaking of this, Xiaohuan raised her head and said: "She is ruthless, and she has a son with Wangfu. From conception to birth, they have been clamoring to kill the child."

"In the end, my mother-in-law softened her heart a little and secretly sent the child away, saving her life." Xiaohuan said.

Yang Ruoqing nodded, "Xiaohuan, we all know about the past, so I won't go into details, just talk about the present, what is Zhou Xia's situation like now?"

Xiaohuan sorted out her thoughts, looked around, then sat a little closer to Yang Ruoqing, and said in a low voice:
"The day before yesterday, a peddler came to our village to sell things, and brought two packages to my house, saying that my aunt asked him to bring them here to honor my mother, that is, my mother-in-law." Xiaohuan said.

Yang Ruoqing nodded, "I know the relationship between the characters in your family, you just go ahead and talk about it."

Xiaohuan continued: "My mother-in-law was not at home at the time, so Zhou Wang picked her up. Zhou Wang was stunned for a moment, and asked which aunt was the salesman?"

"The peddler said it was Zhou Xia, and then conveyed Zhou Xia's words. He said that after a while, she would come to pick up my mother-in-law to enjoy the blessings and so on. He didn't say much else."

"After the peddler left, Zhou Wang went to talk to my mother-in-law about it. I kept an eye out and followed the peddler out."

"The peddler used to come to our village every month. I often bought some needles, thread and brains with him, and I got acquainted with him."

"I know that peddler must know some other things, but you, Brother Zhou Wang, are a bit dumb here. I just gave the peddler ten coins, and the peddler told me some other things."

"What did the shopkeeper say?" Yang Ruoqing asked.

I have to admire Xiaohuan, as expected of growing up at the bottom of the palace, she is clever in doing things.

Xiaohuan said: "I asked the peddler where he met Zhou Xia, and the peddler said that it was when he was buying goods in Wanghai County."

"I asked him how Zhou Xia was dressed at the time, whether she was in a carriage, and whether there were other people walking with her?"

"The peddler told me that Zhou Xia was dressed very richly. When she got off the carriage, she was served by a coachman and two maids,"

"At first glance, he thought it was someone's official wife. Even if it wasn't an official wife, she was a wife or aunt of a rich family in the city. He didn't dare to offend her."

"That's why Zhou Xia asked him to bring things and words to Zhoujiacun, and the shopkeeper dared not refuse to deliver them." Xiaohuan said.
