Chapter 175 Virgo
Shao Zitan retreated, leaving only Sheng Xiuyi, Dong Yuan and Aunt Tao in the room.

In the past, when Sheng Xiuyi came to Aunt Tao's yard, Aunt Tao always sat on the kang to serve him.But now, she seems to be sitting on the brocade tree in the Jingsheyuan.

In the past, only when Sheng Xiuyi came to her, could she feel the warmth that this man gave her.But now, this bit of warmth and joy was broken by Xue Dongyuan.

Aunt Tao's eyes turned red.

Sheng Xiuyi said: "I see you have lost a lot of weight. Brother Yu is no longer here, you have to take care of yourself, the future will last forever."

Aunt Tao couldn't bear it anymore and cried out loud.

She looked up at Sheng Xiuyi, who was also thin, with tears streaming down her face.In the end, she couldn't bear it anymore, got up and knelt at Sheng Xiuyi's feet, hugged his legs, and burst into tears: "Master Yu, Brother Yu... When Brother Yu left... even the concubine never looked at him A glance..."

Sheng Xiuyi's eyes became moist.

He took a deep breath before suppressing his emotions.

Dong Yuan looked over and saw Aunt Tao's head was buried between Sheng Xiuyi's knees, her thin shoulders were trembling, like a pear blossom in the bitter wind and rain, soft and fragile, most able to arouse pity from the bottom of the heart.

After only one glance, Dong Yuan turned his head away again.

Sheng Xiuyi put his hand lightly on Aunt Tao's shoulder, and said softly, "Brother Yu will definitely join a good family, don't be sad..."

Aunt Tao couldn't stop crying: "He was only six catties when he was born, and he was so small in the arms of the concubine. Then he grew up day by day... Master, the concubine dreams of Brother Yu every day... "

Sheng Xiuyi's fingers resting on the Kang table slightly curled up, and finally clenched into fists.

If the child really died in a natural disaster, Sheng Xiuyi might not be so sad.Ever since he knew that the child was deliberately misdiagnosed, he knew in his heart that the child died of political strife and became a victim of the political struggle in the Sheng government.

As a father, he didn't take precautions, and he blamed himself.

When God gives a child, it gives hope and vitality to the family.When this hope and vitality are withdrawn, the family will also suffer some bad luck.

He rested his other hand on Aunt Tao's shoulder, comforting her gently, but couldn't say anything.For this woman, at this moment, Sheng Xiuyi felt a kind of tolerance and patience in his heart.

Aunt Tao kept crying, Sheng Xiuyi and Dong Yuan never spoke again.

The night gradually deepened, and since the bell rang, it was already the beginning of the day, and Qiangwei and Aunt Tao's maid, He Xiang, opened the curtain and entered.

Although the two didn't speak, Dong Yuan understood the meaning: it's time to go to bed, it's time to go back and rest.

"Aunt Tao, you have to take care of yourself." Dong Yuan said in a soft and gentle voice, "Don't cry now. Sad tears hurt you the most, and you are weak."

Aunt Tao ignored her at all, and still knelt in front of Sheng Xiuyi, holding his leg and not letting go.

"He Xiang, help your aunt to get up." Dong Yuan turned his eyes and said to the maid He Xiang who was standing at the door.

He Xiang didn't dare to hesitate, stepped forward to help Aunt Tao, and persuaded: "Aunt Tao, get up. How can Shi Zi and Grandma feel better with you like this?"

Aunt Tao paused slightly after hearing this.

But she still didn't let go, determined to keep Sheng Xiuyi by her side.

Her brother Yu is gone, and she has nothing to rely on anymore.If Sheng Xiuyi was still so indifferent to her, she didn't know what to expect in the days to come.

What is the use of being virtuous and virtuous?

Xue Dongyuan is not virtuous at all, and he still keeps Sheng Xiuyi in the house when it's his aunt's day.She was in confinement and only let Sheng Xiuyi out for two nights.

But Sheng Xiuyi still loves her and thinks of her everywhere.

Being virtuous, courteous and modest can't win Sheng Xiuyi's heart at all.Speaking of knowing the rules and knowing how to measure, she Tao is considered superior, but in the end she was driven to Zhuangzi, and her only son died of smallpox.

That being the case, what Xue Dongyuan can do, she Dow will also do.She no longer wants those vain fame and fortune.She is just an aunt, so what about the charming fox?She was meant to entertain her husband.

She hugged Sheng Xiuyi's leg tightly and didn't let go, He Xiang didn't dare to pull it forcefully, so she could only give Dong Yuan an embarrassing look.

Dong Yuan's eyes were gentle and quiet, showing no emotion.

Sheng Xiuyi was a little hesitant.Aunt Tao was so miserable, and the same pain of losing her son made Sheng Xiuyi understand the pain in her heart.He really didn't want to push her away and sprinkle salt on her wounds.

He looked at Dong Yuan in embarrassment.

Dong Yuan stood up, came over to help Aunt Tao himself, and said in a low voice: "Aunt Tao, get up quickly. Why does your son feel better when you cry like this?"

The Lord's mother supported her by herself, how dare she not afford it?

She dare not!
She can flatter the Lord, but she dare not provoke Dong Yuan.Last time it was because she made a small move behind her back, which didn't hurt Dong Yuan at all, but she was kicked out.

Aunt Tao let go of her hand immediately, and got up with Dong Yuan's hand.

Unexpectedly, she knelt for too long, her knees were sore, and she fell crooked just as she got up.

Sheng Xiuyi caught her.

He picked up Aunt Tao horizontally and put her on the kang.

Aunt Tao took the opportunity to grab the corner of his clothes and looked at him with tears in her eyes, with pleading and loneliness in her eyes, which made Sheng Xiuyi's unbearable heart even stronger.His heart tightened.

Dong Yuan stood aside, watching Aunt Tao tightly clenched the corner of Sheng Xiuyi's clothes.And the twinkle in Sheng Xiuyi's eyes made Dong Yuan feel bad.

Sheng Xiuyi turned his head to look at Dong Yuan, wanting to say something, Dong Yuan said to Aunt Tao first: "Aunt Tao, you should take a break. My son and I will come to see you some other day."

Big tears fell from Aunt Tao's eyes.

"A Yuan..." Sheng Xiuyi opened his mouth, habitually calling Dong Yuan's nickname.

"You go out first!" Dong Yuan didn't wait for Sheng Xiuyi to finish, interrupted his words, turned to Qiangwei and He Xiang.

The two lowered their heads and hurriedly backed out.

After the maids retreated, Dong Yuan stepped forward and yanked Sheng Xiuyi's clothes from Aunt Tao's hand.

Aunt Tao didn't expect Dong Yuan to be like this, she was pulled so lightly that she almost fell down again.

Dong Yuan took the opportunity to support her.

"I am also a mother." Dong Yuan supported Aunt Tao and stabilized her before saying, "I know you are very sad. I am also sad when brother Yu is gone. Let alone our relatives, even if it is The kid I knew was so cute and interesting, and I would be reluctant to leave suddenly."

Aunt Tao suddenly stared at Dong Yuan.

Those eyes were full of sarcasm.She felt that Dong Yuan's words were so hypocritical.

Dong Yuan didn't realize it, and continued: "...you can miss Brother Yu, no matter what method you use. But I don't allow you to use him!"

Aunt Tao was startled, her mocking eyes suddenly fell silent.

"Aunt Tao, my wife and I like brother Yu very much, and the elder son likes brother Yu even more. Whether he is around or not, you will always be his biological mother, and the Sheng family will never treat you badly." Dong Yuan looked at Aunt Tao, He continued, "You can use Brother Yu's death to earn a living and gain sympathy, which will make me look down on you! Brother Yu is the spirit of heaven, and he will not think highly of you!"

Aunt Tao trembled and her face became even paler.

She stared at Dong Yuan.

Dong Yuan didn't look at her, turned to Sheng Xiuyi and said, "Go back, Aunt Tao is going to rest."

Sheng Xiuyi looked at Dong Yuan, his gaze changed, he couldn't tell what kind of emotion it was, but his footsteps didn't move.For a moment, his eyes fell on the trembling and pale Aunt Tao again.

Dong Yuan stretched out his hand, grabbed his palm, and walked away.Now that I have decided to love you, you are not allowed to waver!Thinking in her heart, she held Sheng Xiuyi's hand even harder.

Sheng Xiuyi looked at Dong Yuan in astonishment, but followed her out involuntarily.

The moment he walked out of the gate of Aunt Tao's courtyard, Dong Yuan let go of his hand.

Aunt Tao's lovely and pitiful appearance flashed in front of her eyes, making her heart ache.The mother who just lost her child should give her sympathy even if she pretends to be pitiful.

What's more, she was a concubine married by the Sheng family, even earlier than Dong Yuan.

But she, Xue Dongyuan, is the wife, and Sheng Xiuyi is only her husband.The concubines are not Sheng Xiuyi's wives, they are just property or servants.Otherwise, how do you say concubine and sex?

There are only two ways for Dongyuan to get married now: Either sacrifice the loyal marriage concept he accepted in his previous life, and frankly accommodate the system of coexistence of wives and concubines; or sacrifice the concubine's room and become a shrew.

Ever since Dong Yuan gained the trust of Marquis Shengchang and began to be the housekeeper, since the Xue family won the throne and Marquis Shengchang resigned, the marriage between Dong Yuan and Sheng Xiuyi has been completely stabilized.As a result, there is no third way to choose this marriage.

When they returned to Jingsheyuan, the two of them washed up before going to bed and lying down.

Sheng Xiuyi hugged Dong Yuan tightly and kept silent.

Dong Yuan couldn't help thinking, did he blame her for being too cruel to Aunt Tao?
She didn't explain anything, just hugged his waist quietly and snuggled herself into his arms.

"Ah Yuan..." Sheng Xiuyi gently brushed her cheek, calling her in a low voice.

Dong Yuan hurriedly responded and asked what's wrong.

"The Tao family should be sent to the Zhuangzi." Sheng Xiuyi said slowly after a while, "She is not as honest as the Shao family, nor like the Fan family..." When he mentioned Aunt Fan, he paused slightly before continuing, "Let's send her away. Brother Yu is gone, I don't want Tao Shi to have something to do..."

Not like Fan's... how?Sheng Xiuyi always had reservations about Aunt Fan.But when it comes to her, Sheng Xiuyi's tone is very bad, he dislikes her very much, and never hides it.

And he didn't want anything to happen to Tao... because he felt that Aunt Tao would be unhappy because Brother Yu was gone, and she might take the opportunity to make trouble.When trouble breaks out, others will forgive her if they pity her for losing her son.Over time, her heart may have unreasonable thoughts about certain things.

Mrs. Sheng loved Sheng Leyu very much, and she had a good impression of Aunt Tao, but what Sheng Xiuyi was most afraid of was that Mrs. Sheng would intercede.At that time, the house will be really restless, and there will be a dilemma.

It is best for her to send her away first, so as to keep her alive.It is also worthy of Sheng Leyu's death for the Sheng family.

Dong Yuan was stunned.

She never expected that Sheng Xiuyi would say this.
