Houmen Dixiu

Chapter 4 Computation
Could it be...could it be the Lord Gaoyi, or even the Xiao family who killed Du Boshu together?

Only after Du Boshu's death can she make room for the head of Gaoyi County, and the child in her womb can justifiably become the Xiao family?
Wang slumped down on the soft couch with a pale complexion, breathing heavily, and her eyes turned red instantly.

This night, Mrs. Wang rested on the soft couch in Xiao Huaisu's inner room, Chun Liu and Xia He took turns guarding the outside, and if they needed hot water or something, they would look for the little maid outside the house.

This night, Xiao Huaisu really did not sleep well.

It's not because there are more people in the room, it's just that this complicated family relationship gives her a headache.

Her thoughts were almost the same as those in Wang's mind. If the county lord of Gaoyi really had a secret relationship with Xiao Yihai, then all of this was a huge conspiracy.

If they really dared to kill Du Boshu, and when the Du family was gone, would they let her three-year-old girl go?
Besides, the death rate of children in ancient times was extremely high, and she has no ability to resist. What use is she with a brain?

She is a girl and cannot pass on incense. Maybe this is why the Xiao family doesn't like her very much. Now that the Gaoyi County Lord is pregnant again, if she gives birth to a boy, I'm afraid there will be no room for her in the third house. land.

At that time, she, who will be an oil bottle, will definitely be hated by everyone!

Xiao Huaisu combined what she had seen and heard recently, and after a lot of thought, she finally came to the conclusion that the Xiao family could not stay any longer, and she had to find a way to go to the Du family, at least Mrs. Du and Mrs. Wang treated her well It's still kind, and maybe she can have a future there.

After thinking about it all night in bed, Xiao Huaisu didn't fall asleep until dawn.

But Mrs. Wang didn't sleep all night, she got up in the morning to wash and wash, and covered her haggard complexion with thick powder, then she found Mrs. Du and told her everything she had heard.

But she kept that unconfirmed guess in her heart and didn't say it clearly. As for what Mrs. Du would think in her heart, she couldn't control it.

However, Mrs. Du was still calm. Although her face was livid with anger, she did not drop the small white porcelain bowl she was holding in her hand on the spot. He took his wife's hand and headed to Mrs. Xiao's west courtyard.

In the morning, Mrs. Wang caught her out of the bed and fed her medicine. Xiao Huaisu fell asleep again in a daze. She only knew that Mrs. Du and Mrs. Wang went out, but she didn't wake up until the end of her sleep. Sweating all over, the descendants woke up feeling quite refreshed.

"Miss San, are you awake?"

A little maid who had just had her hair cut came over with a bowl of black concoction. Seeing Xiao Huaisu sitting up, she hurriedly put the medicine bowl on the small table beside the bed, and stepped forward to support her.

Xiao Huaisu nodded, glanced outside, and asked, "Xiaoju, have grandma and aunt come back?"

Xiaoju is one of the few maids that Mrs. Xiao temporarily called after Mrs. Du's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law arrived in the third room. I heard that she used to live with her mother, Du Boshu, and the maids in front of Du Boshu were either criminals. He made a mistake and was relegated to the village, or was promoted to be Xiao Yihai's housemaid, but now it is no longer suitable to serve her.

"Not yet, Third Miss, drink the medicine first!"

Xiaoju handed over the medicine bowl, no expression was visible on her simple face, and she followed the steps.

"Wait first!"

Xiao Huaisu hummed, but did not take the medicine, but ordered Xiaoju to go out and fetch warm water for her. Her body was sticky, so she had to wipe it off and change into clean clothes.

After a busy day, Xiao Huaisu changed into a dry muslin underwear, and let Xiaoju put the half-worn moon-white double-breasted jacket on her body, fastening the buttons one by one.

Suddenly, there was a sound of rapid footsteps outside the house, and the thick cotton curtain was thrown aside abruptly.

Xiaoju was startled, and the movements of her hands also stopped.

Xiao Huaisu sat up straight and listened carefully, and heard Wang's voice sounding eagerly, "Mother-in-law, wait a minute, it's not time to go yet!"

go?
Xiao Huaisu's heart tightened, and a look of anxiety immediately appeared on his face.

Where are you going?Could it be that Mrs. Du is leaving?
That can't work, what should she do?
Xiao Huaisu hurriedly got off the bed, walked through the inner room holding Xiaoju's hand, and slowly approached the main room in the middle, before lifting up the thin hanging curtain, he saw the figures of the two swaying not far away .

"Miss Three..."

Xiao Ju opened her mouth to speak, but Xiao Huaisu stretched out her index finger and pressed her lips to make a gesture of "shh", and moved closer to the curtain, carefully listening to the conversation between the two.

Mrs. Du was already trembling with anger, her complexion was gloomy as if a storm was brewing, "Too much deception! They really are too much deception!"

"Grandmother!"

Mrs. Wang called out, but she didn't know what to say. They just went to the west courtyard today with a tentative heart. After all, the two families still want face. If they really want to tear this layer of face, then everyone will face it. Neither look good.

"Tell me, even Mrs. Xiao knew about this. Before I said anything, she was protecting me openly and secretly. How could I do anything to the county master?!" Mrs. Du stomped her feet back and forth angrily. With her hands twisted in front of her body, she didn't even call out to her in-laws at the moment, "They look like this, are they deceiving me that there is no one in the Du family? Or is it predetermined that we dare not give Bo Shu justice?"

Mrs. Du became more and more annoyed as she spoke, "It's like this... I'm afraid everyone is watching our Du family's jokes, how can I stay in such a place?!"

"Poor my uncle..." Mrs. Du's voice slowed down when she said this, and she couldn't help crying, "My poor child, I'm afraid she has become a thorn in the eyes of others, and I want to get rid of it." Hurry up!"

Mrs. Wang hurriedly handed over the handkerchief, wanted to persuade but didn't know how to persuade, she just gritted her teeth and looked angrily, "We are just suspecting right now, we can't help them without evidence!"

There was a sound from behind the curtain. It turned out that Xiaoju accidentally caught the footstool against the wall when she backed away and made a sound.

Mrs. Du and Mrs. Wang's expression froze at the same time.

Xiao Huaisu turned his head and glared at Xiao Ju, she hadn't heard the whole thing, but thinking about it, it was close.

Wang came over quickly and opened the curtain, Xiao Huaisu pushed Xiaoju back, but she rushed forward, hugged Wang's leg and started crying, "Auntie, don't put your arms around her." Leave Su behind, Huai Su wants to be with you!"

Xiao Ju was shocked by Mo Ming, but she shrank away wisely, trying to reduce her sense of existence as much as possible.

Wang's gaze only briefly swept away like a sharp knife light, and after seeing clearly that it was Xiaoju, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and then he calmed down again after thinking about it.
