The Book of Raising Children by Houmen

Chapter 375 Helpless (1)
Zhao Jing let out a breath of cool air, and the nervousness that had just been beating like a drum suddenly calmed down. She was so scared before, but now she was so fearless.

"The madam has served in the palace for more than ten years, probably she has heard the story of Madame Zhulei."

Liu Qingyan sat down calmly, saw Zhao Jing's expression in her eyes, and still said slowly: "It is rumored that Mrs. Zhulei was pregnant with Liujia when she left the palace, but when she committed herself to Ningyuanhou later, that child disappeared. Don't tell me, Ma'am, have you ever doubted your own life experience?"

She looked at Zhao Jing fixedly, and twisted the silk handkerchief on her fingertips unconsciously.She had also imagined Zhao Jing's expression after knowing this, but she never thought it would be so plain and calm.

Zhao Jing lowered her eyebrows, slowly closed the picture scroll, raised her head to look at Liu Qingyan, and said calmly: "Then, Mrs. Guo came to find me today, besides telling me about this, what else is there?" Zhao Jing deliberately avoided her own background and asked her this question instead.

Liu Qingyan's slightly dejected eyes gave birth to some hope, and she couldn't help but stand up and said: "Madam Hou, can you see... for the sake of being a half-sibling with Uncle Guo, please persuade Uncle Guo Grandpa goes home, the Ningyuan Hou Mansion cannot live without Uncle Guo, the old lady is already ill, although she is strict, she has no choice but to do so."

Zhao Jing sneered when she heard this, she put the picture scroll aside, raised her eyebrows and asked Liu Qingyan, "Why does Madam Guo think that I can persuade Uncle to return to the country? You are the lady who raises her eyebrows, don't you?" Shouldn't you be the one who can persuade him to come back?"

"He won't listen to me. If he was willing to listen to me, he would have listened to me early in the morning..." Liu Qingyan sat down a little dejectedly, and said: "Even if Madam doesn't want to, at least for Madam Zhulei's sake, she will There is only one son like Uncle Guo!"

Zhao Jing was originally going to refuse, but after hearing this sentence, she couldn't bear it.Mrs. Zhulei now lives in seclusion in Jingci Nunnery all year round, and she has already lost her secular heart. Wei Mingzhen insists on recognizing her, but it may only add to her troubles.After so many years, she is no longer the famous Mrs. Zhulei, but a layman with pure six senses.

"Forget it, where is Uncle Guo, I'll let you go." Some things have come to this point, if they are not deliberately concealed, they can be kept hidden.

Liu Qingyan laughed through tears when she heard this, she just nodded and said: "I have never shown this painting to others, and no one else will know about Madam's life experience, and it will definitely not affect Madam."

Zhao Jing didn't care about other things at this time, she stood up immediately, and said to Liu Qingyan: "Mrs. Guojiu, don't say too much, just take me to see Guojiuye."

At that moment, the two left Xingyue Building, Zhao Jing got into the carriage of the Hou's Mansion, and followed the carriage of the Uncle Guo's Mansion.It was already the beginning of noon, and the sun was getting hotter and hotter. Luwu saw that the carriage was not going in the direction of the Hou's mansion, but she didn't dare to say anything, she just whispered: "My wife didn't eat much this morning. , are you hungry at this time? How about going back to the mansion first?"

Zhao Jing closed her eyes and leaned against the carriage, but her complexion was not very good. The weather was stuffy and hot. Although she felt a little uncomfortable, she also faintly felt a little hungry.Zhao Jing shook her head and said, "I'm not going to starve, it's the same when I go back later."

Luwu didn't dare to do anything wrong, she pulled the curtain and looked outside, but said in surprise, "Why are you here in Changle Lane?"

Although Zhao Jing is not familiar with all the places in the capital, she has heard the name of Changle Lane. It has been the Flower Street and Willow Lane as early as the previous dynasty, so there is the name of Changle.

Zhao Jing glanced outside along the curtain. At noon, there was no one on the Flower Street and Willow Lane.The carriage went straight along the alley, bypassed the river embankment, entered a narrower alley, and then stopped.

Lu Wu helped Zhao Jing get out of the car, and looked around. This should be the back door of a certain brothel, and there were several slop buckets piled up at the door. It really doesn't smell good.Zhao Jing only glanced at it, and couldn't help throwing up against the wall.

It was only at this time that Liu Qingyan realized that the Mrs. Wu Anhou in front of her was already pregnant.

Zhao Jing wiped the corners of her mouth slightly, raised her head to see Liu Qingyan's expression, and said indifferently: "Madam Guo, please."

Liu Qingyan was startled, but she immediately came back to her senses and only led Zhao Jing inside.

"He has lived here for a few months, and he just refuses to go back. It is useless to be persuaded by anyone. Eunuch is already seriously ill, and the Ningyuan Hou's mansion is about to..." Liu Qingyan said here Her eyes were red again, but Zhao Jing didn't take it to heart, she just said calmly: "If Mrs. Guo wants to go back with Uncle Guo just because of this, then it's better not to go back with him."
