The girl who wears fast

Chapter 25 The Prime Minister's Tool Man Stepwife (25)

The first aunt and the second aunt were speechless after hearing her words. The first aunt frowned and asked, "Have you been in contact with Zhou Wencun before?"

Luo Yaqing said embarrassingly: "We talked about poetry at Princess Ande's flower viewing banquet before, and then we met a few times outside..."

The defense between men and women in the court was not so serious. Young men and women traveled together, as long as they were not alone or widowed, they were fine, so Luo Yaqing was able to meet Zhou Wencun outside.

The first aunt and the second aunt immediately understood that their niece must have been targeted by Zhou Wencun, who had been harboring evil intentions for a long time. Otherwise, how could they have "encountered" so many times by such a coincidence?

It's a pity that more than half of the six ceremonies of the marriage have been completed at this moment, and it's too late for them to object. Besides, judging from the deep-rooted affection for Zhou Wen from the niece, if they really object to this marriage, maybe the niece will How can I resent them? When the time comes, I will end up as a human being inside and out.

They are just aunts, not biological mothers, what right do they have to object to what the niece's father has agreed to?
Therefore, I can only pray that Zhou Wencun is a good person and can treat his niece wholeheartedly, making her happy and consummated, otherwise their family will definitely not let him go.

The men and women who have successfully engaged in marriage will have more opportunities to meet later. Luo Ya cleared up and put part of her mind on preparing the wedding embroidered wedding dress, and the rest of her mind was on Zhou Wencun. Hongyan passed on letters, or went out together, which made her father Luo Changqing jealously mutter, "Sure enough, the girl is not allowed to stay in college."

Xu Shichu's stepdaughter's marriage is rarely used, so her life has not changed much. She is not busy eating, drinking, and taking care of business. She has money and leisure, and she lives happily. Luo Changqing, who is always intriguing in the officialdom, is much more nourished...

He is also a big buyer of his "Dream Come" sleeping incense.

That day, Xu Shichu went to Zuixiang Pavilion again, but unexpectedly when he reached the door, a woman with a child in her arms rushed out from the slope and threw herself in front of her, and knelt down towards her without any explanation.

Xu Shichu was taken aback, and the guards who followed quickly stepped forward to block her, preventing the woman from approaching.

"Madam! Madam Xu! My husband's late father was the envoy of the Suzhou Regiment in Weicheng, and my late mother, Hushi Xuemei, was your mother's cousin! I came here to ask for something! Madam, please help me for the sake of the deceased elders." ... Please..." The woman holding the child begged Xu Shichu with red and swollen eyes and tears streaming down her face.

Xu Shichu had just heard her words, but he didn't understand for a while. When she mentioned her mother, Xu Shichu remembered that Weicheng Suzhou was the hometown of the original owner's mother, and when she heard her mention that her first mother was the original owner's mother's cousin, he knew that the person in front of him was very likely. It's a distant relative of the original owner.

The woman holding the child made such a big commotion in Zuixiang Pavilion, which quickly attracted the attention of the people around her. Seeing that there were more and more people watching, Xu Shichu said to her: "You come in with me and we'll talk."

The woman stood up tremblingly, only then did Xu Shichu realize that her face was so pale that she had no blood at all, and her figure was also very thin, and she couldn't stand upright after kneeling for a while.

"Zhichun go and help her hold the baby." Xu Shichu ordered.

Zhichun then walked to the side of the woman, stretched out his hand, and said softly: "Madam, please give me the young master."

The woman originally wanted to avoid her hand, but she changed her mind after thinking of something, and finally handed over the child in her arms to Zhichun.

The child was sullen, his eyes were half-closed, and he had no energy at all, as if he was sick.

Xu Shichu led people up to the room on the second floor, and told the unrelated people to leave, and then asked the woman, "Tell me, what do you want to ask me for?"

As soon as the woman's tears stopped, they started to flow again. She knelt down on the ground again with a thud, and said with tears in her eyes: "I ask my wife to adopt my son! You don't need to treat him as a young master, just let him have a stutter. , have clothes to wear, and don’t starve to death or freeze to death..."

"Stop! Why do you want me to adopt your son? What about you? What about your husband? What about other family members?" Xu Shichu said in a daze, no matter who was asked to adopt a child by a distant relative who met for the first time, They will all be dumbfounded.

"There are no family members anymore. My husband's father-in-law and mother-in-law died when I was young, and the clansmen robbed the family property by force. It is unreliable... After my husband came back from the Jinshi examination last month, he fell seriously ill and went there last night. I was originally I am weak, taking care of my husband and children these days is already relying on my last breath...

My husband is gone, and I also feel that I can't hold on any longer, but I still have children... We are helpless in this capital, and in the end we can only think of you, madam...

If there is no one to entrust, I will not bother Madam, I beg Madam for the sake of the elders..."

The woman cried so hard that she could hardly breathe.

Only then did Xu Shichu notice that this woman was wearing a white filial piety dress, her appearance was haggard, her bones were broken, she looked like a person who had been ill for a long time, and she herself was sick, and she had to take care of her sick husband and children. The maid looked at her and felt empathy, and tears welled up in her eyes.

Seeing Xu Shichu's silence, the woman thought she didn't believe her, and quickly took out a stack of letters and a small purple butterfly gold hairpin from her sleeve pocket:
"Madam, if you don't believe me, please read these letters. These letters are letters between your mother-in-law and your mother-in-law when they were in the boudoir, and this gold hairpin is a gift from your mother-in-law to your mother-in-law."

Xu Shichu took the letter and the gold hairpin, read a few pages of the letter, and then looked at the purple butterfly gold hairpin. There was a small word "Huan" engraved on the bottom of the hairpin, and the name of the original owner's birth mother did have the word "Huan".

As for the handwriting on the letter——Xu Shichu didn't find the mother's handwriting from the original owner's memory, she had never seen the biological mother's handwriting at all, and the things left by the biological mother had long been destroyed by the original owner's stepmother and biological father. up.

Although these two things alone cannot determine the identity of this distant cousin, Xu Shichu doesn't think he has anything worthy of other people's calculations.

Besides, this is the adoption of a child, it is said to be adoption, but according to the meaning of this distant cousin, it is only necessary to give him a mouthful of food and drink, and the standard is enough if he does not starve to death or freeze to death. It can be seen that if you want to plot against her, you should ask for it. Let her give her adopted son a title, and then raise him well, the closer the relationship, the better.

"Is it true that your body can't be cured? You have reached the point where you have to entrust the funeral? How about I ask an imperial doctor to show you? It's better for the child to be raised by the biological mother, isn't it?" Xu Shichu said Well, she is the prime minister's wife, so she can still invite an imperial physician.
