Chapter 69

"Miss, Madam has come out of the ancestral hall." Li Xia carefully put the teacup in his hand away, stepped aside, and said with his head down.

"Well, what next?" Chu Ruoying didn't even look up, she took a sip of the freshly brewed tea and asked calmly.

"The madam went back to the Dangui Garden directly, followed by the second lady, and then Aunt Qin, Aunt Pei, and the third lady have all gone to visit now." Dong Zhi was wiping the porcelain on the table, and heard Chu Ruoying speak , said the interface.

Only then did Chu Ruoying raise her eyes to look at Dongzhi, she stood up slowly, and walked down the corner of her clothes, "In that case, let's go see Madam as well."

"Ma'am, Missy please see me." The voice of the maid in front of the door came clearly into the front hall of Dangui Garden, the conversation of the four people in the hall stopped, and then Madam Ye's voice rang out, "Please Missy come in."

The maid in front of the door lifted the curtain immediately after hearing the words, Chu Ruoying smiled and nodded at her, then walked in slowly.

"Ying'er has seen Madam." As soon as Chu Ruoying entered the hall, Aunt Qin, Aunt Pei and Chu Qing'er all stood up and bowed to Chu Ruoying.

Seeing this, Mrs. Ye's eyes were dark, but she still smiled and said, "Why is Ying'er here?"

"After Madam entered the ancestral hall to pray for blessings, Ying'er has never seen Madam because of Madam's orders. The ancestral hall is cold and humid in winter, and Ying'er has been very worried. I wonder if Madam is in good health?" Chu Ruoying said. But the comprehensiveness and sincerity of the words made Madam Ye almost believe her.

"Mother is naturally fine, Ying'er doesn't have to worry." Madam Ye looked at Chu Ruoying who was smiling sweetly in front of her, feeling a little unhappy in her heart, but she was full of hypocrisy when she spoke.

"It's good that mother is fine." Chu Ruoying nodded obediently, then looked at Chu Xin'er at the side, and said with concern in her tone: "There is also the second sister, the Marquis of Wu'an these few days The government posted many posts, why didn't my sister come to visit?"

It's fine if you don't mention this matter. As soon as you mention it, Chu Xiner can't help but want to kill Chu Ruoying in front of her. She is also the daughter of the general's mansion. You can only marry one of the princes of Marquis Wu'an.

Seeing that Chu Xiner was about to get angry, Madam Ye hurriedly opened her mouth to smooth things over and said, "Slaves these days really have less and less eyesight, and they haven't moved a stool for Yinger to sit down after so long, they really should rectify it Already!"

"Madam, calm down." As soon as Madam Ye finished speaking, a servant girl immediately moved a stool. Chu Ruoying saw that the little girl beside her was trembling slightly, she sat down with a faint smile, and continued: "The new year has just passed, and the mansion has just passed. In a hurry, the servant girl was just a little negligent for a while, Madam has been praying for a long time, I am afraid that she is not very familiar with the situation in the mansion when she first came out, but she will gradually get used to it."

Hearing this, Mrs. Ye couldn't help but tightly grasped the chair with both hands. With the cover of her long sleeves, no one saw the veins bulging on Mrs. Ye's hands. Mrs. Ye nodded and said: "What Yinger said is that this Mother is a little negligent about the matter in the mansion."

"I heard that you and Xin'er were admiring flowers in the garden together today?" Madam Ye suddenly changed her tone, looked at Chu Ruoying with a smile and asked again.

"Today?" Chu Ruoying suddenly repeated with some doubts when she heard the words, with a slightly surprised and confused look on her face, she said softly: "My sister has not gone out these days, today I am enjoying flowers in the garden, but later I met Sister, just chatted for a few words."

"Really? Why did I hear Xiner say that Yinger taught Xiner something today?" Mrs. Ye saw that Chu Ruoying simply brought the story over, so she stopped talking around the corner and said it directly. come out.

As soon as these words came out, Chu Ruoying looked at Mrs. Ye with dark eyes. It stands to reason that Mrs. Ye should not be such a rash person. Even if she stayed in the ancestral hall for a long time, she should not lose her sense of proportion.

"Ying'er is just a girl in a boudoir, so I don't know any great principles, it's just some experience in life. Could it be that my sister misunderstood me?" Chu Ruoying's mouth curled into a sneer, as if she suddenly remembered something Generally, pondered.

At this moment, Chu Xiner was stunned. This matter was brought up by Madam Ye suddenly, and Chu Xiner didn't even explain it in detail. Since Madam mentioned this matter, it must have had an impact on Chu Ruoying, so she went on to say: "My sister is so humble, she didn't even want to admit it when she was teaching her, and everyone in the garden can testify that my sister was really humble at that time. She is so majestic, those who don’t know think that the General’s Mansion is in charge of my sister!”

The corners of Chu Ruoying's lips raised slightly, like poppies blooming, she glanced at her with clear eyes, and said with a light smile, "It's just a trivial matter, why should my sister worry about it, and what my sister said to testify is that she wants to invite father to come Is it?"

Chu Xiner paused, thinking of Chu Lie's reprimand in the morning, she couldn't help feeling a bit of resentment in her heart, "I just want to thank my sister, why should my sister involve my father."

Chu Ruoying nodded with a faint smile, "What my sister said is that my father has so much to do every day, so he doesn't have time to take care of these daughter's jokes."

Madam Ye took a breath, remembering that Chu Lie didn't like these things in the backyard, Chu Ruoying insisted that this was a joke of her daughter's family, and she couldn't punish her for such a trivial matter, so she looked at it coldly. She glanced at Chu Ruoying, then quickly looked away, looked at Chu Xin'er with a smile, and reproached slightly: "Xin'er, you didn't make it clear, and asked mother to ask again for no reason."

Then she turned her gaze to Chu Ruoying, and said, "Ying'er is a sensible person."

Chu Ruoying smiled lightly, and stopped answering Mrs. Ye's words, and sat there quietly without speaking again.

The atmosphere in the hall fell silent instantly, Chu Qing'er also sensed something was wrong, and approached Aunt Pei cautiously.

"Why don't you see Aunt Yun today?" After a while, Aunt Pei asked with some doubts.

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the hall became even more strange. When she turned around and saw Chu Ruoying's disapproving eyes, Aunt Pei was startled, and a layer of cold sweat broke out on her back.

"It doesn't matter if Aunt Yun comes or not, today is not a big day, Aunt Qin, don't you think so?" Madam Ye smiled and said indifferently.

Mrs. Ye went to the ancestral hall to pray, and Aunt Yun was pregnant again. Therefore, these days, Chu Lie was resting in the house of Aunt Qin and Aunt Pei. Aunt Qin had a gentle temper and a sweet mouth, so Chu Lie stayed in her yard. For the longest time, Madam Ye would beat her when she left the ancestral hall.

Aunt Qin was named unexpectedly, she was not surprised, as if she expected it to be like this, she said meekly: "Aunt Yun is pregnant with an heir now, she is probably still resting at the moment, presumably she doesn't know the news of Madam coming out, Otherwise, with Aunt Yun's temperament, she would have come to pay her respects a long time ago."

Chu Ruoying raised her head slightly when she heard the words, and glanced at Aunt Qin indifferently. This Aunt Qin was really as she thought, and her words implied guidance, but they were so reasonable that people couldn't fault them. No wonder Aunt Qin has a mediocre appearance, but she still lives well in the mansion.

"You should rest more after you are pregnant. Aunt Yun is not good at all, so you should rest more." Madam Ye said in a very calm tone without any trace of anger on her face.

The smile on Aunt Qin's face deepened, and she said, "Didn't Aunt Yun go to the ancestral hall to see Madam before? Madam is usually tolerant and generous. It can be seen that Aunt Yun is also grateful for taking care of Madam."

"Aunt Qin is really good at talking, and Madam is very happy to hear it." Madam Ye took a sip of tea, cleared her throat, and said very slowly.

"My concubine is just telling the truth, but Madam laughed at me." Aunt Qin smiled meekly, and her words were full of respect.

Madam Ye glanced at Aunt Qin faintly, and said again: "No wonder the general loves Aunt Qin so much, you really have a clever mouth."

"The concubine has no property and looks mediocre. The general is just a poor concubine." There was no panic on Aunt Qin's face, but a wry smile appeared in her eyes.

"So Concubine Yun is a lucky one." Mrs. Ye may not be able to find out the fault of Concubine Qin, and because Concubine Yun was upset because of Concubine Yun's pregnancy, she also lost interest for a while, so she replied lightly, and then He said that he was tired and let everyone disperse.

"Miss?" Chu Ruoying's face has been a little dignified since she left the Dangui Garden, and Li Xia who was beside her couldn't help but cried out worriedly.

Chu Ruoying raised her eyes to look at Li Xia, smiled faintly, saw Dong Zhi who was silent beside her, and asked, "How is Gu Yu?"

"Gu Yu has been staying in the house all the time. Yesterday when the slaves went to see her, Gu Yu was also a lot more silent." Li Xia bit her lips, thinking of seeing Gu Yu's silent appearance yesterday, she also felt a little embarrassed, and said in a low voice.

"Li Xia, do you think I was wrong?" Chu Ruoying raised her head and looked into the distance, her gaze gradually became a little misty, and she asked softly.

"Miss?" Li Xia was startled, and immediately looked up at Chu Ruoying.

Chu Ruoying had already stopped, and sighed softly, "Gu Yu is not suitable for such a life, I shouldn't have brought her into the house."

Li Xia was about to explain something, but Chu Ruoying continued to walk forward, Li Xia had no choice but to swallow the words in her mouth, and followed quickly.

When Chu Ruoying walked to the door, she paused, looked back at the two people following her, and said softly, "Let Gu Yu come and see me."
