sweet wife little confused

Chapter 138
There were suddenly more rumors about An Xiu'er, and what Zhang Zhen'an heard today was just one of them.

People in the mansion are rumored that An Xiu'er eloped with a guard, and many people say that An Xiu'er is pregnant and restless, and even that the child in her belly is not Zhang Zhenan's, and Zhang Zhenan can hear it wherever he goes. These gossips, every time he is merciless, these people are either sold or directly driven out.

Naturally, these girls will not have a good end, so the rumors in the mansion gradually decreased by killing chickens and monkeys like this.

Zhang Zhen'an thought it was really funny, he didn't even know how the hundred-year-old clan who always put the rules first, became corrupted like this.

I still remember that a few years ago, no maidservants would dare to spread rumors about their master casually, but after a while, these people have no scruples.

Perhaps, it's not necessarily true that someone is behind the scenes, but he can only pretend not to know, sending people to search the city all day long, and even sending guards to Qingshui River, while he himself still leaves early and returns late, and is even caught by someone. I found that I often go to drink boring.

In the bustling tavern, Zhang Zhenan sat by the window, watching the people passing by the window, suddenly felt that life was like this, mediocre.

"Hey, brother, you don't have to do this for a woman." A clear male voice came, and the man sat down at the table, dressed in white, wild and unrestrained, but it was Yan Jingxiu, "You have been abnormal during this time, You don't look like you like this."

"Do you know what I look like?" Zhang Zhenan squinted at him and raised his glass.

Yan Jingxiu poured himself a glass of wine, and slightly raised it towards him, saying: "I know you have always been cold-hearted and warm-hearted, this incident has hit you hard, the more you act nonchalantly on weekdays, The more you have something on your mind."

"I have something on my mind and you won't help me." Zhang Zhenan said casually, but Yan Jingxiu's expression changed slightly.

"Are you saying that you invited me to your house as a guest? You are not here, I really can't be a guest, and I really have something to do. I personally transported some citrus from Huainan. Today I choose The most popular and biggest basket was delivered to you, which is an apology to you." Yan Jingxiu said hastily upon hearing this.

"Why do you have to explain so much?" Zhang Zhenan glanced at him and said, "You just don't want to get involved in this matter, I understand."

"So you know everything..." Yan Jingxiu sighed.

"I really thought there was something wrong with you at the time. Maybe you saw it more clearly than I did. You knew their character, but I didn't see it through." He raised his glass and drank the wine in his hand.

"But it doesn't matter. You must rely on yourself to be a man. You are my brother, but in your heart, there is someone more important than me."

Yan Jingxiu was silent, Zhang Zhenan asked: "Since you like her, why bother to watch her torment and hand her over to others?"

"She doesn't like me."

Yan Jingxiu drank three glasses of wine by himself before saying: "In her heart, I'm afraid she can only use me. I am willing to be used by her, but I can't help the evildoers, so I simply avoid it."

He drank cup by cup, Zhang Zhen'an summoned Xiao Er and exchanged him for a pot of bitter tea.

The tea is very bitter, very bitter, one mouthful, almost to the heart.

Yan Jingxiu muttered to himself: "I gave myself three years, but I did all my hard work in these three years, and she never sees me in her eyes."

"Then why don't you let it go, there are many good women in the world." Zhang Zhenan said.

Yan Jingxiu raised his head and said in a low voice, "You don't blame me?"

"This matter has nothing to do with you, so don't blame him." Zhang Zhenan reached out and patted him on the shoulder, saying: "I'll go first, drink this tea as you like, and you can refill it."

"Hey..." Yan Jingxiu suddenly woke up, but he had already gone downstairs.

Only then did he realize that what he was drinking was tea, so he wouldn't be intoxicated at all.

Zhang Zhenan was rushing home all the way. On the way, he saw a little girl selling flowers. The flowers in the basket were so beautiful that he bought two. When he returned to Tingzhuyuan, he threw the flowers in front of the door and walked away. went in.

A woman in white came over and picked up the two flowers. The red flowers made her hands whiter. She put them to her nose and sniffed them lightly, with a slight smile on her face. Flowers left.

The Chinese New Year is getting closer and closer, Zhang Zhenan seems to have given up the idea of ​​looking for An Xiu'er, and even the people sent to Qingshui Village have returned, he is so busy with business every day, even the number of times he goes home is much less.

Ye Jingshu was a little complacent. She deliberately let Zhang Zhenping make some troubles. She knew that in his heart, the rise and fall of the Zhang family was always the most important thing. What is a woman? Even if it is love, how much can you love superior?She would never let him find her.

It's a pity that she designed a good show but no one knew about it. She felt that it was necessary for her to go and see An Xiu'er. After all, she was pregnant, and it would be very pitiful to celebrate the New Year alone.

On this day, the weather that had been gloomy was rarely cleared up. Ye Jingshu took an excuse to go out to relax, and took her confidant maid and drove out of the city in a carriage.

Walking through the road outside the city, the road conditions became bumpy. There was a pothole here and a puddle of water there. Ye Jingshu couldn't help frowning. The road was really bad. It's very uncomfortable.

However, when she thought that she could taunt An Xiu'er severely later, a smile appeared on her face involuntarily.

After leaving the city, they walked for about an hour, and finally came to a Zhuangzi.

This Zhuangzi is located outside Minyue City, in a very remote location. It is not Zhang's Zhuangzi, nor is it Wu's dowry. It is named under the name of one of Ye Jingshu's subordinates. At that time, Wu wanted to hide An Xiuer in his Zhuangzi. Inside, but Ye Jingshu was afraid that Zhang Zhenan would investigate privately, so she asked Wei Yuqing to send people here, so that even if Zhang Zhenan found something, it had nothing to do with them.

This Zhuangzi is not very conspicuous, and has no special products. It is just like an ordinary small village. Ye Jingshu has never been here. .

As soon as Ye Jingshu's car stopped, the middle-aged steward in charge of the village came over. He looked a little servile, and when he saw Ye Jingshu coming, he nodded and bowed to serve him very thoughtfully, but Ye Jingshu didn't like this person's flattery. He only raised his chin and asked, "Where is the man?"

"In the yard." The steward replied quickly.

"If that's the case, why are you still standing there, why don't you bring our young lady there?" The maid beside Ye Jingshu scolded.

"Yes, yes, I will take you there right away." The manager replied quickly.

Along the way, the dry grass was luxuriant, the wooden fences in the village were a bit dilapidated, and the road was even more muddy, looking a bit sloppy. The person in charge didn't know that Ye Jingshu came here suddenly today, and she didn't ask anyone to fix it. At this moment, he Seeing the mud on the soles of Ye Jingshu's shoes, she was sweating coldly in this winter.

He was afraid that Ye Jingshu would be dissatisfied, so he didn't even have to do this job.

Being a steward here, although there is no oil or water, and there is no room to climb up, but it is very comfortable. He doesn't have to do anything on weekdays, and he can let the people in the village serve him. In this village, he is the king. He just needs to ask the servants in Zhuangzi to work harder and tidy up the environment when the people above come to look at it, but who knows, Ye Jingshu will suddenly come today.

When he brought her to this dilapidated small courtyard, he was already in a cold sweat. He took out the key and opened the door tremblingly. Ye Jingshu turned her head and glanced at him. He quickly lowered his head and waited for her scolding. Who knows that she actually said: "You did a good job, I am very satisfied."

"Ah?" The manager didn't react for a while, but then he said: "Thank you for the compliment, miss, it should be, it should be."

Ye Jingshu stepped in, and the manager was about to follow in, but she heard the maid beside Ye Jingshu say, "You just wait here."

"Yes yes yes." The steward nodded, stopped in his tracks, and closed the door intimately.

The servant girl snorted coldly when she saw him like this, as if she felt that he was stealing her limelight, but the person in charge had a shy face and a flattering smile.

Ye Jingshu looked at the yard, the more she looked at it, the more she was satisfied. Well, the yard looks quite desolate, not bad, but the room is pretty good. It would be better if she lived in a hut, but unfortunately, Wu would not If she is allowed to do this, if she knows that she is abusing her and makes her mistakenly think that she has a small stomach, it will be bad.

Ye Jingshu walked into the room, but there was no one there. The maid was about to call out, but Ye Jingshu stretched out her hand to stop the maid. She heard voices coming from the back of the yard, and decided to go to the backyard to see for herself.

An Xiu'er was working in the vegetable field in the backyard with Madam Fu and others. When Ye Jingshu came over, she was still holding a Chinese cabbage in her hand.

An Xiu'er didn't look carefully at the garden the day before, but on the second day, she walked around the yard by herself and found the vegetable patch.

This yard really seems to be an ordinary small farmyard, with a vegetable field, a well, and a small gate in the backyard. Every day at the gate, someone brings some firewood, rice noodles and other things, but there is no People, and the door will not open, but every day when they get up, they will find these things there.

They don't have to worry about food and clothing, but from now on, An Xiu'er and the others will be self-sufficient, and the life of enjoying flowers, reading books, and telling stories that they used to live will no longer be there. I'm also picking vegetables and cooking in person, killing time, and it's like exercising my cooking skills.

At this moment, she was about to go to the kitchen with Chinese cabbage in her hand, but when she looked up, she saw Ye Jingshu.
