sweet wife little confused

Chapter 174
Time passed quickly, An Xiu'er spent so much time reading and forgetting to eat and sleep every day that she almost forgot about Ye Jingshu. She also handed over some chores at home to Madam Fu to take care of.

Madam Fu is very good at this, and she is very happy when An Xiuer entrusts her to take care of these things, thinking that this is a sign of An Xiuer's trust in her, in fact, the person An Xiuer trusts the most is her Yes, she is stable and has a straight face all year round, and the servants in the mansion are also quite afraid of her.

Moreover, Mammy Fu knew what kind of person Ye Jingshu was. She focused on making people stare at her, just to prevent her from being a monster. Of course, her freedom was bound to be imprisoned.

Zhang Zhenping and Mrs. Wu already knew that An Xiu'er brought Ye Jingshu into the mansion. Mrs. Wu scolded Ye Jingshu severely in the past, but heard from the servants in the mansion that when she left Ye Jingshu's yard, , the eye circles were red, and his complexion was very ugly. Obviously, he didn't get any benefits from Ye Jingshu's hands.

As for Zhang Zhenping, he never visited Ye Jingshu at all. He didn't know how to face Ye Jingshu. This was the woman she liked, and even because of her, he changed a lot at once. He just wanted to live a good life with her, but because of her, his whole life changed again, and he lost his elder brother who loved him the most.

Every time he thinks of that scene, he can hardly fall asleep, and sometimes he has nightmares bothering him all night long. He always dreams about their childhood, but when he wakes up every day, there is no one who accompanies him. For those people in their youth, there was only the bleak moonlight outside the window.

Zhang Zhenping hated himself very much. A good home was ruined by him and defeated by him. Although he had racked his brains to find a way, he really didn't seem to be the material.

In this county town, the Ye family opened many shops, doing business similar to the Zhang family, and they were fighting with the Zhang family. Even the two big families in Jiangyun County wanted to join in.

He can only be born in a peaceful time, and it may be okay to keep the family business honestly. Now that the situation is a little chaotic, he is in a hurry. He doesn't know what to do. Recently, he is so bored that he has no time to listen. It's a ditty, as for the girl he likes, Qing He, he may not have looked for her for a long time.

Although An Xiu'er said that the eldest brother is not dead, but just disappeared, but in fact he knows that he is already dead, and now only An Xiu'er is left here to hold on, deceiving himself and others.

But she can do this, but he can't do this. He made a decision in his heart, he will keep his filial piety for him for three years. After these three years, he decided to be pure-hearted and ascetic. But he swore that he would never touch women, nor would he take pleasure in these three years.

But he was originally a dandy, without those fun things, he can only be busy with business matters all day long, maybe he is stupid and has been cheated several times, although he tried his best, the Zhang family's business It's getting worse and worse, and the shopkeepers of many shops are scrambling to leave. He has to close many shops and even sell them to keep the business running.

This time the Zhang family suffered another dark loss in business. The Ye family sent someone to send a letter to the effect that they wanted him to release Ye Jingshu. He suppressed the letter, but the business was getting worse and worse. The man was clearly smiling at him one second ago, but stabbed him mercilessly the next second, his face became so that he didn't even have time to react.

He regarded others as friends, but others regarded him as an enemy. Those people suppressed him again and again, which made him feel breathless. He really couldn't hold on any longer, so he could only go to An Xiu'er.

An Xiu'er is even more crazy now, it seems that there are only four things left in her life, taking medicine, eating, reading, and sleeping.

When Zhang Zhenping went to find An Xiu'er, she was reading a book in the study. She was wearing loose regular clothes, and she didn't wear makeup or comb her hair. She was buried in the book. There was a thick stack of books in front of her, and there were still There's a stack, and it looks like a mess.

She is holding a book in her left hand, a writing brush in her right hand, and a blank piece of paper is spread out on her right. She is writing down something quickly. After a long time, she realizes the existence of Zhang Zhenping. She raises her head, covered with He brushed his hair with his ink-soaked hand, and wiped a little ink on his forehead, making him look a bit sloppy.

"Did you come here to see me for something?" An Xiu'er put down her pen and asked, "Is there something wrong with your business?"

"There are some problems." Zhang Zhenping nodded, found a chair in the study and sat down, and said, "You know, I'm not good at business at all, I'm really tired."

"Didn't mother help you during this time?" An Xiuer asked. Recently, her housekeeper, Mrs. Wu, went to help Zhang Zhenping manage the family business. Although Mrs. Wu's housekeeper is not good, she also experienced it with Zhang Zhenan before. After a period of chaos in the Zhang family, she still knows a little about doing business.

Moreover, after all, she is the widow of the old head of the Zhang family. If she comes forward, many people will stay because of her face. Some people will not be too jumpy, but she can persuade people.

"It looks like the Ye family is going to attack our Zhang family with all their strength." Zhang Zhenping didn't answer An Xiu'er's words, but said this sentence.

"The Ye family has long wanted to attack your Zhang family." An Xiu'er said: "Maybe they have been planning a long time ago. I even suspect that letting Ye Jingshu come to your Zhang family is also a way to stabilize you." way."

Zhang Zhenping did not refute it after hearing it. The possibility that An Xiuer said was indeed possible, but if it was before, he would never believe it. Maybe he would point to An Xiuer's nose and curse, but it is different now In the past, the two people who thought they would speak ill at each other were now connected as one.

"Sister-in-law, what you said may be true, but I think that the matter has come to this point, we..." Zhang Zhenping was trying to organize his words, but no matter how he thought about it, he couldn't find the right words, and the more he spoke, the more confused he became.

"What do you want to say, just say it." An Xiu'er really couldn't see his hesitating appearance.

"It's like this. The Ye family put a lot of pressure on us. I want to let Ye Jingshu go back." Zhang Zhenping summoned up his courage and said.

"She's your concubine, and she even hurt your elder brother. Could it be that you just put it back so easily?" An Xiu'er said with a cold face, "I don't agree with this matter."

"But what can we do? Locking Ye Jingshu in our Zhang family will not only take time to watch over her, but also waste our food, and putting her under house arrest will do us no good at all." Zhang Zhenping said: " If you let him go, the Ye family might let us go."

"Hehehe."

An Xiu'er couldn't help laughing when she heard this, she laughed contemptuously, suppressing a little sadness, she stopped laughing, and said: "My brother, I really didn't expect that you are already 30 years old, you would Still so naive, shopping malls are like battlefields, this is an old saying, even my housewife outside of business understands it, don’t you understand it?”

"Although Ye Jingshu is a member of the Ye family, it can be seen from the fact that she was sent to our Zhang family since she was a child. She has always been just a bargaining chip for the Ye family. Will you let us go? You are so wrong, let the tiger go back to the mountain, there will be endless troubles, you were not there when the people from the government sent Ye Jingshu last time, and Ye Jingshu said that she would take revenge on me after she went out, I am now amazed by the look in her eyes Remember, it is impossible for me to let her out at this time."

An Xiu'er stood up, feeling a little tired, sat down again, and said: "The Ye family will only anger me by doing this. I'm afraid this matter has her instruction. I think I made her life too easy. I should give She needs to find something to do."

"What are you going to do?" Zhang Zhenping asked.

"What are you in a hurry for?" An Xiu'er smiled and said, "Don't worry, I won't beat her or scold her. I just let her go to work. Didn't you just say that? Our Zhang family doesn't raise her." Idlers."

As she spoke, she shouted outside: "Come here!"

Soon two maids came in and bowed to An Xiuer, "Ma'am, what's the matter?" It was neither entering nor retreating, so I couldn't help reminding: "There is a piece of black ink on your forehead."

"It's okay." An Xiu'er shook her head and said, "I have black ink on my forehead, but my heart is full of red blood."

Hearing her words, Zhang Zhenping was a little speechless. Although she said it unintentionally, he had a faint feeling that she was alluding to her and his past.

"Ma'am." Madam Fu came in and was surprised when she saw An Xiu'er, she couldn't help smiling, walked forward, took out a handkerchief to wipe off the ink on An Xiu'er's forehead, and then asked: " Madame brought the old slave here, what's the matter?"

"I just want you to find a job for Concubine Ye Gui in the mansion, so that she can do nothing but waste food in the mansion." An Xiu'er said in front of Zhang Zhenping.

"Most of the work in the mansion has been done by people, only the three jobs of washing vegetables, laundry, and pouring Yexiang are still lacking." Madam Fu said.

"Forget about washing the vegetables. I don't dare to eat the vegetables she washed. Forget about washing the clothes. I'm afraid that she won't be able to wash her delicates. So let's pour Ye Xiang. There's no skill in this matter, and it's easy, but it's a bit dirty. " Anxiuer said.

"Well, what Madam said is true." Nanny Fu nodded, bowed and said, "The old servant will make arrangements."

"Go, thanks for your hard work." An Xiu'er waved her hand. When Madam Fu left, she couldn't help but glance at Zhang Zhenping, only to see that his face was expressionless, as if he was holding back something.
