After the new widow, I became a tyrant's tender outer chamber

Chapter 226 Lost
In the hall, Mrs. Cheng Zhu took the tea, took a sip, frowned and spat, "You are really good at fooling me with this tea?"

"Don't dare, but there are only people of this quality left in the mansion," Li's mother hurriedly knelt down, "There is also the monthly money of the servants, and I really can't get it out, so I came to bother Madam just now."

In normal times, one or two people like Mama Li would usually pay one or two to serve, while the other servants would pay between five and eight hundred renminbi.In the past, it was not considered a burden, and it could be added during the holidays.

It's just that it's not like it used to be--

She slightly retracted the hand holding the teacup, finally unable to deceive herself any longer, knowing that she could no longer maintain her old style.Annoyed, she slammed the teacup to the ground with all her might.

The broken porcelain pieces and tea burst apart in Mama Li's hands, making her flinch.

After all, she has been with Cheng Zhushi all her life, and she doesn't want to see this, so she sighs and feels distressed, "Ma'am—"

Cheng Zhushi held his forehead, let out a few breaths, and said after a long time, "I see, you go to my room, take some out of the dowry and pawn it, and pay it for now."

Mother Li pursed her lips, lowered her hands and said, "Yes."

The broken porcelain pieces at his feet had not been cleaned for a long time, Cheng Zhushi became more and more annoyed, and was about to explode, when Master Cheng stepped across the threshold with a weathered suit, and went to several places.

She rushed to meet him and took the cloak he had taken off.When I passed the mess, I felt a sudden burst of pain in my heart.

However, in a few days, Master Cheng's silver hair has grown a lot. He rubbed his brows with his fingers, his face full of exhaustion, "Is there nothing wrong with the mansion today?"

Cheng Zhushi remained silent.At this time, Mother Li was taking the hairpin from her house and going out. When she saw the master came back, she first saw the ceremony before going to do her own business.

Master Cheng stared at the direction of Mama Li's departure for a long time, and said, "It's time to reduce the number of people in the house."

"No," she was stunned, and immediately retorted, "There is nothing in this whole house that does not need people. The master doesn't care about these things, so he doesn't know."

He put down his hands and patted on several cases, "Look at this mansion again, how many people are still there, what are they doing to raise so many people who eat nothing?" , the mansion is really scattered.

She knew what he said was right, and a look of sadness flashed in her eyes.

How did you end up in this situation?
Master Cheng let out a long sigh. After all, it was his wife who had been with him for so many years. It would be a lie to say that he had no feelings at all.He casually comforted, "You don't have to worry too much, Qiu'er has an extraordinary literary talent, so she wouldn't do such a bad thing."

I don't know whether to say this to her or to myself.

Hearing this, her eyes flickered slightly, and she suddenly recalled the scene when she ran into Cheng Xingqiu burning a letter in the house a few years ago, but at that time he turned his back to her, never saw her coming, and then left quietly.

I am afraid that at that time, there will be some problems.Otherwise, if it is an ordinary letter, why burn it.

She didn't dare to say anything, but only echoed, "Master is right." Then she was relatively speechless.

In fact, she saw that he didn't mention a word about what he got today, so she knew that he had been rejected again.The original Cheng Mansion is not here, she can still go to Zhu's house.

But it's okay to be an ordinary married daughter, she just violated her father's request and insisted on marrying Master Cheng.Now even if she could put down her face, the Zhu family would not recognize her anymore.

After much deliberation, I asked for everything I should ask for.

A thought flashed across Cheng Zhu's mind, and his face became happy, he said, "Isn't Miss Yi just getting the favor now? How about we go to Xinyang to help her?"

The more she thought about it, the more she felt that this method was feasible.Maybe Sister Yi gave the emperor some pillow talk, and Qiu'er would be fine.

"Confused!" Master Cheng frowned and snapped.

His reprimand was like pouring a basin of cool water on her, she was shocked, but she didn't understand why.

"Don't you understand?"

She opened her lips, "What, what."

"You teased that child like that in the past, but now that you have been favored, you, the emperor, will help you in turn? Whether this matter has anything to do with Yi'er is not yet certain." He had a gloomy face.

Cheng Zhushi was taken aback, "Then what should I do?"

What should I do?But just take one step at a time.

Master Cheng originally wanted to talk to her, but he didn't want her to be so dull. Even now, she still can't distinguish the form.There were also some who got impatient with the question and left in a huff.

Cheng Zhu couldn't keep people, and followed them all the way to Taiji.

Just when Cheng Rui came rushing over, he pinched two bunches of wild flowers with his clumsy fingers and held them up to her, "Mother, flowers." He was mentally incompetent, and he didn't know that the Cheng family was about to fall.Although he didn't see his elder brother for a few days, the maid around him coaxed him and said that the eldest son had gone to work, so he believed it.

On the contrary, this idiot became the only one in the Cheng family who still had a smiling face.

The tip of Cheng Zhu's nose was slightly sour, so he sent his attendants to take him to a nearby place to play.
.
But Ruan Yuyi got the answer, put on the fence and went out of the palace with Muxiang.

After leaving the palace gate, she sent the sedan chair back and planned to walk to the nearest market.When she could vaguely see a figure under the white gauze, she knew she had arrived.

She had never been here before, so she didn't know where to find a medical clinic.

Mu Xiang was about to stop someone to ask for directions, but Ruan Yuyi suddenly caught a glimpse of a dark shadow from the corner of her eye, held her hand, and went with her to a quieter place.

Finally, Ruan Yuyi stopped and raised her voice slightly, "If you still follow, be careful and I will file a complaint with your master."

Several guards hiding in the dark couldn't help holding their breath, but they didn't move.They couldn't be sure that they were really found out, or it was a temptation. If they went out at this time, it would be difficult to explain to His Majesty.

She was exceptionally patient and stood quietly, waiting for the guards to come out.

Under the stalemate, the guards who were hidden everywhere still dawdled in front of her and bowed their hands in salute.One of them was puzzled, and said, "The little ones are also servants."

She had no intention of embarrassing them, "You don't have to follow, your master, I will explain." The wind lifted the white gauze, revealing a small and delicate chin under it.

"This...you guys just go back like this, it's not easy to explain to the master, I'm afraid it won't be safe for you alone."

She lowered her voice a little, "I won't send anyone to follow your master. I have already noticed you. You can find a random place to hang out now, or go back. As long as you don't follow, I will just pretend that I haven't seen you."

Her gaze skipped over the guards with serious faces, she paused, and said, "Your master is thinking about breaking his promise. If I tell him, he won't be able to explain to me."

After weighing the pros and cons with them, she stopped talking and waited for the guards to make a decision.

There was hesitation in their eyes.In fact, there were only a few brothers who were sent to protect this person, even if they did what she said, they would not say anything, and the new emperor would not know if he was far away in the palace.
