Splendid Abandoned Wife

Chapter 109 Mind

This is Qiu Yiran's first time in Haitang Courtyard. Ruxiu is leaning on the bedside, embroidering, and two little maids are sitting on chairs beside the bed, sewing clothes.Some time ago, we had been rushing to make purses for New Year gifts and rewards, and the three of us were exhausted.However, even though last night was New Year's Eve, Ms. Ji refused to let the three of them take a break, just because Qiu Yanran suddenly wanted a bright red eight-panel skirt with embroidered butterflies and flowers on the skirt. Fortunately, during the Lantern Festival Wear it during the Lantern Festival.The Lantern Festival Lantern Appreciation Festival is an annual event in Luo City. It is also a good time for young girls and young wives to compete for beauty. Qiu Yanran, who has a tendency to be in the limelight, is naturally looking forward to it.

Seeing Qiu Yiran come in, the two little maids bowed and hurriedly left. They felt that Aunt Xiu had finally come to the end of her hardships. Fortunately, they still respected Aunt Xiu very much.Having said that, they are just two little maids, and they have to work the same in any yard. In Haitang Courtyard, Aunt Xiu is not only good-natured, but also teaches them needlework skills. If they work hard and help her with some things, Aunt Xiu can also Although they secretly gave a reward of eight or ten copper coins, their monthly salary in the Marquis Mansion was already pitiful, and they had never received a reward before, so naturally they worked harder to please Aunt Xiu.

The two little maids who originally only followed the embroidery work of Nvhong rushed to take care of Ruxiu. The rough-working Mrs. Zhang naturally became more loyal and hardworking, so Ruxiu's life was not that bad.Of course, there is no comparison with the life she had when she was a maid in the Yin family.

After Ruxiu saluted, he still sat back on the bed and continued to embroider. He was not as excited and enthusiastic as Qiu Yiran imagined.Over the past few days, after being reminded again and again by Qiu Yanran, she had already figured out that Qiu Yiran had never taken her seriously, and only wanted to use her to get Yin Zhiruo and Yin Zhiruo's dowry.Now that she has lost this use value, isn't she just a humble maid or embroiderer?Even Qiu Yiran's child in her belly was nothing at all in the eyes of the Qiu family.However, what she didn't understand was that since they didn't value this child, why did they take her into the Hou Mansion?

Ruxiu's plain attitude made Qiu Yiran very hurt, and he couldn't help but think of Zhiruo's shallow bow when they got married that day, barely even bending down, and her decisiveness in choosing and leaving...

That's all for Yin Zhiruo. Now even Ruqiu, nay, Ruxiu, who is infatuated with him, has such a lukewarm attitude, how can he feel embarrassed?Why is he so unattractive?
Qiu Yiran's face turned dark instantly: "Why, didn't the strange man come over to see you? Who can show you this face?"

Ruxiu raised her head strangely, with an innocent look on her face: "What face? What did you say, sir? I am rushing to make the second girl's clothes. The second girl said she would embroider a hundred butterflies and 33 peonies. Before the Lantern Festival, It's about to be finished. I barely have time to eat or sleep. How can I have time to show off?" After saying that, he lowered his head and continued to embroider, ignoring Qiu Yiran's embarrassed and angry face. He thought about Qingyuan outside. There are rumors that the Hou family is so poor that they steal other people's embroiderers.The New Year's gifts have been completed, why do mother and sister still give Ruxiu so much work to do?No matter what, the child in Ruxiu's belly is his eldest son or daughter.

"Okay, let it go first," Qiu Yiran's tone became softer. "If it's too late, it's too late. I'll go talk to Yan'er. Now I want to ask you a question first, about Meizhuang."

Ruqiu did not stop her work: "You can ask me, but I will tell you everything I know about the situation in Meizhuang." Mother said that people's eyes can easily reveal emotions, so she had better keep her head down to embroider.

Qiu Yiran frowned, but since the situation was urgent and there was not much time, he still asked: "Is there a martial arts master hiding around Yin Zhiruo? Were the guards she brought from the capital specially brought for her by her father?"

Ruqiu shook her head: "I don't know what a martial arts master is like, but Yin Zhiruo doesn't have many guards, maybe ten at most. They are all people from the original mansion, and some of them were not guards before, just running errands. Most of them are born at home, and they came to Luocheng mainly because their family members have become Yin Zhiruo's companions. Oh, by the way, one or two of the people Yin Zhiruo bought back from Kaicheng seem to have become guards."

Qiu Yiran's brows furrowed even more tightly. How could such a randomly selected bodyguard, with only about ten of them, be able to fight against forty or fifty brutal and ferocious bandits?Are Meizhuang's agencies really that powerful?
But yes, if the agency is not powerful, why have we never heard that any of the houses and villages owned by the richest man Luo Dayou were taken over by bandits?Alas, my stupid mother didn't know anything and dared to follow the Ye family and cooperate with the bandits so boldly.Thinking of Ye's time and again seducing her mother and causing harm to their Qingyuan Hou Mansion, Qiu Yiran's clenched fists burst with veins. That woman is the nemesis of their Qiu family!

"Master, what's wrong with you?" Ruxiu raised her head and asked doubtfully, "Don't you think... It's difficult, I heard that there are many institutions in the village, and they are very powerful, so Yin Zhiruo brought so much dowry. Don't be afraid." It seems that the Qiu family is really extremely poor, and they actually have the idea of ​​​​grabbing directly.Haha, the funny thing is that my so-called aunt's food is worse than that of the Yin family's maid.

Qiu Yiran said sarcastically: "Where did you think you were? I was just asking casually. Don't you know anything about that agency?" Ruxiu curled her lips mockingly: "Now that I think about it, Yin Zhiruo was jealous of me early in the morning. I have lost my guard, haha, I can only blame myself for not having eyes and being stupid."

Qiu Yiran narrowed his eyes again. Does this mean anything?Do you regret staring at yourself that day?Do you regret following yourself?I heard from my mother that the money I embroidered at Yin's house was twenty taels per month, and the clothes she brought were made of much better materials than what Yan'er wore, and now...

"By the way, sir," before he could complain, Ruxiu touched her lower abdomen, which was not very visible: "You know, right? I have a child. I don't know if it is a boy or a girl. I just hope that he will be born." Good luck, you will be blessed in the future. No matter what, he will always be the master of the Hou Mansion."

The topic changed so quickly that Qiu Yiran was stunned: "Take good care of yourself and don't think too much. I'll leave first and come back to see you when I have time." After saying that, he turned around and left, walking very quickly, and he Don't know why.

Ruxiu put down her embroidery bag, curled her lips coldly, called Mrs. Zhang in, and gave her a small purse: "Mother Zhang, go out for a walk and see if anything happened in the house?" Qiu Yiran is fine. She would never think of her Haitang Courtyard, let alone come here so early in the morning. Shouldn't this be the time when the whole family is having breakfast or performing New Year's greetings?

"Hey," Mrs. Zhang happily took the purse, "I am going to the big kitchen to get breakfast and New Year's snacks, and I also need to go to the accounting office to collect your monthly money from your aunt." The servants of Qingyuan Hou Mansion did not receive any extra reward during the New Year. , there are only two snacks per person, and the same is true for her, the eldest son and aunt.

Ruxiu nodded and said with a smile: "Go, I'm not hungry. I still have some snacks you bought a few days ago. Don't worry, just chat more and come back. There's nothing to do today. If you want to go out, you can go to the front." Take a leave of absence." She didn't know anything in Haitang Courtyard. Fortunately, Granny Zhang also had a few old sisters who were also rough ladies in the house. Being rough ladies was just a rough job, and it didn't affect them at all. Ability and interest in gossiping.Every time Mrs. Zhang goes out for a walk, she brings back a lot of news, both inside and outside the mansion.

As soon as Granny Zhang left, the two little maids came back with a flattering look on their faces: "Aunt Xiu, the Crown Prince really cares for you, but judging from how hurried he is coming and going, he must be very busy recently." "Of course, the Crown Prince will be in the future. You are the head of the family. I heard that the Marquis now leaves many things to the Crown Prince, how can you not be busy?" "Aunt Xiu, the Crown Prince specifically told us that we must be more diligent and not burden you, Auntie."

Ruxiu buried her head in her work and said shyly, "Really? It's true! I just praised you for being smart and capable."

……

At this time, in the front yard, the Marquis was patting the table: "What? Lin Tingwei...doesn't he think too little of our Qiu family?"
