Jie a husband is too arrogant

Chapter 105 The Mid-Autumn Festival
It was night, and the second lady kept asking Yuan'er to inquire about the outside news, but the servant who came in to deliver the food didn't know anything, and it was heard that Guanshi Song had been kicked out of Ji's mansion.

The second lady became more and more restless when she heard this. Guanshi Song was suddenly kicked out of the mansion because Ji Yuxian found out that he was his internal agent. What else did he find?
Qiao An was told that officials from the DPRK and China were bandits, which would definitely cause an uproar. Why is there no movement at all?

Could it be that Jize didn't listen to her and gossip about Qiao An?

Yuan'er persuaded, "Ma'am, don't worry, this matter is a secret, even if the emperor finds out, he will investigate secretly, how could it spread so quickly? Master Ji Ze has always listened to you the most, and will never go against your wishes. We just have to be patient and wait!"

The second lady nodded, "Yes, I'm too impatient! Let's talk about it later!"

"Yes!"

The day before the Mid-Autumn Festival, the festive atmosphere was lively, Qin Xiang didn't want Lan Zhihui to always be bored in the house alone, and dragged her out to the street.

There were more people on the street than usual, Lan Zhihui looked at the crowded people, but felt more and more depressed, as if she was alone in this world, and this bustling scene had nothing to do with her.

Many people gathered in front of Gui Shunyuan's pastry shop to buy mooncakes, Qin Xiang said, "Miss, let's go in and have a look too!"

Lan Zhihui nodded, walked around the crowded main door, and entered through the side door. As soon as she entered the door, she saw a guy carrying freshly made hazelnut cakes to put in a box.

Today's hazelnut cake looks more oily than usual, and it seems to taste more fragrant.

Qin Xiang happily said, "Miss, you like hazelnut cake the most, let's buy some back."

After speaking, he came to the front and said to the boy, "This hazelnut cake is well made today, make us two packs!"

"Oh, it's Miss Qinxiang!" The boy greeted with a smile and raised his head.

On weekdays, Qinxiang often comes to the store to buy dim sum, so we get to know each other.

"I want two big bags, the portion is enough!" Qin Xiang added.

The little boy said in embarrassment, "I'm sorry, girl, this hazelnut cake is scheduled to go out, not takeaway!"

Qin Xiang's face suddenly turned cold, "Don't you know who our lady is? Even if this snack is ordered, if our lady wants it, you have to give it!"

The little guy smiled, "Of course we know it's Miss Lan, but I really can't give you this hazelnut cake today! It's for the Ji Mansion. It was specially made for the young lady alone!"

Both Lan Zhihui and Qin Xiang were taken aback, Qin Xiang was choked and speechless.

These words obviously said that the young lady of the Ji family is the master, no matter how powerful they are, they are still the servants of the Ji family, how dare they compete with the master?
Lan Zhihui's face turned pale, and she turned and walked out.

Qin Xiang glared at the little boy, and snorted, "You bastard who is trying to gain power, I won't come into your store again!"

After finishing speaking, he hurriedly chased after Lan Zhihui, "Miss! Miss!"

The buddy brushed the white cloth towel on his shoulders, and sneered, "I really think of myself as a nobleman! Bah!"

Lan Zhihui looked ugly outside, walked through the crowd, walked back quickly, Qin Xiang chased for a long time before catching up, and hurriedly persuaded, "Miss, don't be angry, those guys are flattering villains, don't follow me This kind of person is angry!"

Lan Zhihui sneered, "Why am I angry? He's right. Compared with Mrs. Jifu, I'm not as noble as Mrs. Ji!"

"Miss, don't say that. Back then, the eldest son said he wanted to marry you. If you agreed, there would be no room for her to be arrogant. Now anyone who sees you has to be respectful!" Qin Xiang said unhappily.

After Lan Zhihui heard this, she stopped suddenly, her eyes flashed in a daze, and she stared at the bustling crowd in a daze.

There were more and more people on the street, and a person carrying a pole almost bumped into Lan Zhihui, Qin Xiang immediately scolded, "Don't you have eyes? The rampage is going to die!"

Lan Zhihui took a deep breath, wrapped the cloak around her body tightly, and said, "Qinxiang, let's go back!"

Qin Xiang looked at Lan Zhihui's paler face than when she came out, and only hated her bad idea, which made her master unhappy.

The two went back to Yuyifang bitterly. As soon as they entered, an embroidered woman in charge came over, holding a piece of embroidered fabric in her hand, and said with a smile, "Master, you are finally back, I have been waiting for you for a long time!"

Lan Zhihui asked lightly, "What's the matter?"

"It's almost the holiday, and the embroiderer in our workshop is planning to give the Young Madam a congratulatory gift. In the past, it was fine if there was no Young Madam in the Ji Mansion, but now that there is a Young Madam, we must not be ignorant of etiquette!" said the embroidered lady.

Lan Zhihui's face froze, "That's right!"

"Lord of the workshop, can you see if the embroidery pattern is okay? Is it worthy of the young lady?" The embroiderer asked the two embroiderers to spread the material, and saw a two-foot-long and two-foot-wide embroidery on the translucent Qingyun sand. A picture of a beautiful woman, with auspicious patterns such as four seasons flowers and auspicious rabbits next to it, the embroidery is exquisite and exquisite.

What surprised Lan Zhihui was that this picture was definitely not embroidered in a day or two, and she didn't know it at all. Now that it was embroidered, I showed it to her.

Lan Zhihui's eyes were slightly cold, with a smile on the corner of her mouth, "Very good, frame it, and send it to the Ji Mansion!"

"Yes, I'll tell people to do it right away!" The steward asked people to put away the embroidery, turned around and left.

Lan Zhihui's face became colder, she turned and walked towards the back pavilion.

After entering the back pavilion, Qin Xiang spat and said angrily, "Why do I always meet such flattering things today!"

Lan Zhihui didn't say a word, her back was straight.

"Miss, this Manager Li had some troubles with you before, and she must have won over other maids to push you away, and she has lost sight of you more and more. She must be taught a lesson!" Qin Xiang scolded.

Lan Zhihui also understands that in the past, even if someone in the workshop had an opinion on her, they would not dare to disrespect her. Since the Chinese New Year incident, these people praised her high and trampled her low, and when they saw that she had lost Ji Yuxian's favor, they began to be blatant against her.

Qin Xiang was still muttering and cursing those embroidered ladies, Lan Zhihui stopped and said quietly, "You are right, if I am the master of Ji Mansion, no one would dare to treat me so slowly!"

"Miss," Qin Xiang was startled when she heard the words.

Lan Zhihui stopped talking, smiled faintly, her face returned to normal, and walked upstairs.

The next day was the Mid-Autumn Festival, Su Jiu asked Ji Yuxian to have dinner with him in the evening, so in the morning, he went out to reunite with Chang Huan and the others.

Hu Dapao also took a day off to return to the city, together with Joan Muxiu, the five members of the Fulong Gang finally got together again.

Everyone thought the restaurant was crowded and noisy, so this time they gathered in Hu Dapao's new General's Mansion.

The General's Mansion rewarded by the emperor has three entrances, front and rear, with a garden between the front yard and the backyard. The house is magnificent, showing the majesty of the General's Mansion everywhere.

Su Jiu knew that Hu Dapao would not take care of a mansion, so he prepared everything for him, such as arranging the stewards and servants of the mansion.

But until now, Hu Dapao has not lived in this mansion for a few days.

Hearing that Hu Dapao was going to have a banquet in the mansion, the servants busily prepared for a whole day, fearing that the new master would be dissatisfied.

Chang Huan asked someone to bring a jar of plum wine in Yunxi for Su Jiu to taste specially. Su Jiu thought that she would be reprimanded by Ji Yuxian when she went back, so she didn't dare to drink too much, so she just secretly took water to fool her. Dayton laughed.

Chang Huan was protecting Su Jiu. After tasting the water in Su Jiu's glass, he insisted that it was wine, but both of them were fined for drinking.

Sitting together, we talked about the things in Yuhu Mountain as usual. It used to be bitter, but now it becomes fun to mention it.

Just like last year's Mid-Autumn Festival, they exchanged their only penny for a basket of edamame beans from farmers down the mountain. They drank the boiled salted edamame beans and the half-watered wine together, and they drank happily.

However, in the middle of the night, everyone couldn't sleep, the stench of farting in the house blinded them, and they all ran to the yard to sleep.

Smelling the smell of boiled meat from the people at the bottom of the mountain, they couldn't fall asleep, and the five of them drooled for half the night.

Everyone laughed and laughed, as if they were telling someone else's joke.

"Speaking of which, I would like to respect Mr. An. It was Mr. An's decision that made our Fulong Gang feel proud again!" Ah Shu was half drunk, and raised the wine cup to respect Qiao An.

"Thank you, we should thank the head of the family and sacrifice ourselves to pretend to be Miss Su!" Qiao An directed the words to Su Jiu again.

As soon as the words fell, Hu Dapao first burst out laughing, as if he suddenly remembered that last year when Su Jiu disguised himself as Miss Su, they were all shocked.

"Master, you were dressed as a bitch, I almost didn't know you!"

"I thought at the time, this little lady is so handsome, where did she come from!"

"Even the real Miss Su is not as handsome as our master!"

……

Several people teased Su Jiu with each sentence.

Su Jiu leaned on Chang Huan and sneered, "Okay, I've grown up and dared to spoil my young master!"

Everyone busily suppressed their laughter and toasted Su Jiu, Hu Dapao said without hesitation, "Don't dare, even if we become the emperor, I still have to listen to the boss!"

Qiao An looked around and coughed lightly, "Don't talk nonsense!"

Su Jiu also glared at Hu Dapao, "If your subordinates hear this, they will have to go to the emperor to claim credit for beheading you in the middle of the night!"

Hu Dapao sobered up a little, and hurriedly said, "I'll change someone, the Jade Emperor, no one cares!"

"The more you talk, the more outrageous it is!" Joan laughed at him.

"Why is it called a cannon? His mouth is like a cannon barrel!"

"So Boom's enemies are begging for mercy!"

Everyone laughed again and drank until Shen Shi, when Su Jiu saw that it was getting late, she got up and went back.

Hu Dapao and A Shu naturally drank too much, Qiao An saw that Chang Huan was still sober, and asked him to send Su Jiu back to Ji's Mansion.

Su Jiu shouted that she was fine, but her footsteps were weak.

When they arrived at Ji's Mansion, Chang Huan stopped the carriage and called out to the boss a few times, but Su Jiu didn't respond. When he opened the door, he saw that Su Jiu had fallen asleep crookedly.

Seeing that she was sleeping uncomfortably, Chang Huan hurriedly hugged her on his body, and raised his hand to shave the loose hair from her forehead behind her ears.

Su Jiu's fair face was flushed red by the smell of alcohol, the peachy color of Ruo Sanyue bloomed on her cheeks, and the glowing reflections spread and rippled deep into the water waves.

Chang Huan's eyes could not help but soften, thinking of what he said while drinking today, he was not half happy.

He would rather they were still in the mountains, living a poor and difficult life, but also living a simple life, without any Ji Mansion, and no Ji Yu Xian, Su Jiu was completely their master.

Now, he always felt that half of Su Jiu belonged to Ji Mansion.

Or, in the not-too-distant future, leave them completely and become a member of the Ji Mansion.

The drunken Su Jiu frowned and shouted for water. Chang Huan hurriedly found a water bag in the carriage, tasted the water inside and it was still warm, and then carefully fed it to her.

Su Jiu was drunk and loved to sleep, Chang Huan took a silk handkerchief and wiped off the moisture from the corners of her lips, her gaze was fixed on her pink lips, and her breath suddenly stopped.

The girl's breath was like orchid, and with the aroma of wine, Chang Huan's half-drunk consciousness felt that he was also in a mess at this time, and he lowered his head uncontrollably and approached the girl's flowery lips a little bit.

They grew up together since they were young, and they have already become a part of each other's lives. Compared with others, he should be the one who takes it for granted.

The two of them were so close that they could already smell the light and elegant fragrance of the woman. Chang Huan rolled his throat and closed his eyes slowly. His lips were about to touch her lips. He felt his heart beating like thunder, as if to wear Like broken flesh jumping out.

"Boom!"

Suddenly there was a loud bang, and the carriage door was pushed open. Chang Huan suddenly raised his head, and a red robe cape caught his eyes. The strange red was dazzling and cold.

Ji Yuxian exuded an oppressive chill all over his body, his long and narrow phoenix eyes were gloomy and cold, he narrowed them slowly, and looked at the boy,
"Chang Huan, you are presumptuous!"

Chang Huan raised his eyebrows handsomely, but he didn't see any panic, he was even calmer than ever before, and smiled slightly, "I'm not your servant, don't let Mr. Ji say if you want to be presumptuous or not!"

Ji Yuxian's brows were filled with murderous aura, he glanced at him coldly, stepped forward, Xin Chang's body slightly bent into the carriage, and reached out to hug Su Jiu.

But Chang Huan dodged subconsciously, looked up at Ji Yuxian in the cramped carriage, with strong hostility.

"Give her to me!" The man's voice was low, as if he was suppressing some kind of emotion that was about to explode.

There was no fear in Chang Huan's gloomy eyes, just as he was about to say something, suddenly the woman in his arms seemed to hear Ji Yuxian's voice, closed her eyes and called his name,
"Ji Cosine, Ji Cosine"

"I seem to have drunk too much again!"

"No, don't be angry."

The girl's voice was soft and coquettish, and Chang Huan froze there for a moment.

He seemed to have never seen Su Jiu like this before, she had lost her usual flamboyant and cold appearance, she was completely like a young girl in love with spring, as soft and charming as the gentle autumn wind.

Ji Yuxian frowned, and reached out to hug Su Jiu again.

This time Chang Huan let go of his arms, allowing the girl to be carried by the man, her arms were empty, as if her whole body was empty.

Without even looking at him, Ji Yuxian wrapped Su Jiu in his arms and strode out of the carriage.

The man's indifference made Chang Huan even more terrified than the murderous hostility just now. It was a kind of arrogance without fear, as if he knew that he was not qualified to be an enemy with him at all.

When did Su Jiu's feelings for that man begin?

If love develops for a long time, the time they spend together will not be longer!

What is the difference between him and Ji Yuxian? Is it because Ji Yuxian is the most noble son in the world, while he is just a bandit living in Yuhu Mountain?
Chang Huan closed his eyes in pain, all the strength in his body went limp, and there was still the woman's fragrance lingering in the carriage, like dense needles pricking him, leaving him riddled with holes and dilapidated.

He has been with her since he was a child, eating together, sleeping together, going out to rob together, getting along day and night, inseparable.She saved his life, and it seemed that everything in his life was closely related to her. If one day she was gone, what would be the point of his being alive?
When Su Jiu woke up again, it was already pitch black, the room was not lit, only the faint shadow of the light outside the window came in, and it was hazy and dim.

There was warmth coming from around her, Su Jiu didn't open her eyes, she leaned against the man, and muttered, "Ji Yuxian, why don't you light up the lamp when it's dark?"

Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and just after nightfall, faint laughter came through the wall.

The man didn't speak, Su Jiu opened her eyes, hugged him, and said in a muffled voice, "I didn't want to get drunk."

This sentence is an explanation.

There was a low sigh in the darkness, and the man stroked her cheek with his long fingers, and said in a deep voice, "If I drink like this outside again, I will..."

Su Jiu raised her eyebrows, "What about you?"

"I'll kill those who drink with you!" The man's voice was low and light, but there was a hint of killing intent.

Especially that Chang Huan, who really has unreasonable thoughts about Su Jiu, it's really hateful!
Su Jiu snorted, as if she didn't believe it.

Ji Yuxian dragged the woman by the waist and hugged her, under the dim light, a pair of slightly slanted phoenix eyes looked at her faintly, and laughed softly, "It seems that my husband really spoiled you!"

Su Jiu sat straddling him, stretched out her hand and gently hooked his chin, her exquisite eyebrows and eyes were full of spring red shadows, "Then it will be my son who pampers me from now on!"

Ji Yuxian lowered his head and kissed her fingertips, "Okay, girls go up to boys, I like it too!"

It was only then that Su Jiu noticed the posture of the two of them, and the "ready to move" of someone in a certain position, and hurriedly leaned down, sitting cross-legged on the couch and looking out the window.

At this time, a firework rose into the sky and turned into meteors falling all over the sky. Above the stars, a full moon hung on the eaves and treetops.

Su Jiu turned around,

"Let's go watch the moon!"

The servants placed moon cakes and seasonal fruits in the pavilion. Osmanthus fragrans were blooming outside the pavilion, and there was a faint fragrance of camellia. The insects chirped lowly, but stopped when they heard the sound of people, and then hummed again after a while.

The two sat leaning against the wooden railing, facing the full moon that had just risen, white and clear, floating on the treetops, and the surroundings were dyed with a layer of blurred mist.

The garden was extremely quiet, red lights meandering along the wooden corridor, and the shadow of the lights led the moonlight into the water, and there was also a round of quiet moon in the water, twinkling and shining, it seemed brighter than the sky.

It's just that this month is too illusory, if a stone falls, it will be shattered.

Su Jiu's eyes also seemed to be shining with moonlight, her pink lips seemed to have been washed, and she said with a smile, "Ji Yuxian, do you think there is really a woman named Chang'e on the moon who raises rabbits?"

Ji Yuxian held her in his arms, rested his chin on the top of her head, looked at the sky and smiled, "Who told you?"

Su Jiu shook her head, "I forgot, it seems that someone told me a long time ago."

"Maybe it is!" The man said softly.

"Su Jiu,"

"Ok?"

"You were on the mountain last year, how did you celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival?" Ji Yuxian asked.

Su Jiu remembered that she had mentioned it to them while drinking today, and hurriedly told Ji Yuxian about those embarrassing things during the Mid-Autumn Festival last year.

Before he finished speaking, he laughed first.

Ji Yuxian slightly hooked his lips, his phoenix eyes streamed, and said softly with distress, "Why didn't I know Madam earlier?"

Then she wouldn't suffer so much.

"It doesn't matter if you get to know each other earlier. I'm a bandit, and you are the most noble son in the world. Do you recognize me?" Su Jiu asked back.

"I will definitely recognize it!" Ji Yuxian said softly.

"Ji Yuxian, what will happen if you marry the real Miss Su family?" Su Jiu didn't know why she suddenly thought of this question, so she blurted out the question.

Ji Yuxian frowned slightly, what would happen if he married a real Miss Su?

Probably the same as before, nothing more than a group of wives and concubines, but he still goes in and out alone.

"Su Jiu, I think, except for you, everyone else in this world is the same to me!" Ji Yuxian hooked Su Jiu's chin and faced himself, his eyes were as bright as stars, and his face was as handsome as a monster.

Su Jiu gasped for breath, unable to resist the man's charm, raised her head and kissed the man's red lips, said in a low voice, "Ji Yuxian, you are different to me!"

Yes, they are different from Chang Huan Hu Da Pao who grew up with her, and they are also different from those friends of Xiao Lie Nan Gongshu. Although she can't tell what is different, she understands it.

Ji Yuxian's long eyes are shining brightly, with unconcealable joy seeping through, spreading to her lips, smiling like a beautiful spring moon, her voice seductively said,

"What's the difference?"

The two were very close, and their lips touched while talking, Su Jiu felt that she couldn't think, she stepped back a little, resting her head on Ji Yuxian's shoulder, looking at the moon in the sky, her watery eyes were smiling,
"It's different anyway!"

Ji Yuxian smiled softly, rubbed her head, and murmured dotingly, "Fool!"

Su Jiu slept in the afternoon and was not sleepy at night, so the two of them sat until late at night.

The full moon has risen into the sky, and the city of Shengjing has become quiet. The lights are cold and the smoke is dim, and even the sound of insects has disappeared. The two of them cuddled together and sat there for a long time, as if they had merged into the dark night and became inseparable. One.

There was a banquet in the palace at night, the emperor was half drunk and withdrew the banquet early, and went to pay his respects to Empress Dowager Xiao.

Empress Dowager Xiao believed in Buddhism, and today she was accompanied by Concubine Rong Gui to watch the night. When she heard that the emperor was coming, she got up and went to the side hall.

The emperor drank, his head was dizzy, and he half-lyed on the carved wooden chair and fell asleep. When he heard that Gong Rendao was coming, he hurriedly got up and said respectfully, "See the queen mother!"

Empress Dowager Xiao looked kindly, "Go and rest when you're drunk, and don't come to Ai's house to say goodbye!"

As he said that, he looked back at Concubine Rong Gui, "Help the emperor to rest!"

Concubine Rong cast down a pair of gentle eyes, "The concubine agreed to stay with the queen mother to watch the night!"

"It's fine for the Ai family to watch the night alone. The emperor is drunk and may be thirsty in the middle of the night, and the palace servants are not attentive, so the Ai family is more at ease with you!"

Concubine Rong knew that Empress Dowager Xiao deliberately wanted her to be favored by the emperor, and she didn't want to go against her good intentions, so she nodded, "Yes, my concubine obeys!"

The emperor smiled and sat on the chair, "No hurry, come, pour me a cup of sober tea!"

"Yes!" The palace man retreated to make sober tea.

When Empress Dowager Xiao saw that the emperor had something to say, she only left her close aunt by her side, and sat back on the low couch.

"Mother, the two concubines, Xian and Concubine, mentioned to Erchen several times that the daughter of the Nangong family be betrothed to Jing'er as the concubine. At the palace banquet today, Jing'er also hinted that he fell in love with the girl from the Nangong family. The mother felt that this marriage Is it done?" Although the emperor was half-drunk, he spoke clearly, and asked for the opinion of Empress Dowager Xiao.

Concubine Rong twitched her eyebrows, turned around and backed away, and went to urge sober tea.

When it comes to Prince Zhao Xiao Jing, Concubine Rong always retreats knowingly, which is very different from Concubine Xian, and the emperor appreciates it very much.

Empress Dowager Xiao's face remained unchanged when she heard the sound, she only held the Buddhist beads in her hand and said in a low voice, "The mother and son are really anxious? Jing'er said that he likes the daughter of the Nangong family. He has met Miss Nangong? The Ai family knows that this Nangong family Your young lady rarely enters the palace!"

The emperor frowned and remained silent.

"It is impossible for the daughter of the Nangong family to marry any prince!" Empress Dowager Xiao sat on the low couch, twirling the fingers of the beads, said loudly, and then said, "After the Mid-Autumn Festival, give the daughter of the Nangong family as soon as possible. Choose a husband and son-in-law, lest Jing'er worry about it, only care about the children's personal relationship, and lose the intention of making progress!"

"Yes, I understand!" The emperor lowered his head slightly.

At this time, Concubine Rong personally brought sober tea to the emperor.

The emperor drank half of it, and seeing Concubine Rong turned around to leave, he stretched out his hand to grab her wrist, raised his hand and smiled softly, "I am indeed drunk today, let Rong'er accompany me back to the palace!"

Concubine Rong's ears were dyed the color of candle flames, she nodded lightly, "Yes!"

"Okay, it's late at night, you all go to rest!" Empress Dowager Xiao stood up with a smile, and walked to the Buddhist hall in the back hall.

Concubine Rong told the aunt next to her worriedly, "It's good to serve the queen mother. It's cold in the middle of the night, so add a charcoal stove and have tea and hot soup ready at any time. If the queen mother is sleepy, help her back to rest early!"

"Yes, imperial concubine, servants and servants have all written it down!"

The emperor looked at Concubine Rong with a chuckle, his eyes softened involuntarily, he held her wrist tightly and walked out.

When Su Jiu went out the next day, she ran into Nanny Fan in the yard.

As soon as Mother Fan saw Su Jiu, she subconsciously hid behind the sweet-scented osmanthus tree, pretending to be bending over to pick up sweet-scented osmanthus.

Su Jiu rolled her eyes and said softly, "Nurse Fan?"

Nurse Fan trembled all over, walked over with her shoulders shrunk, and said with a dry smile, "I have seen the young lady! The servant saw the sweet-scented osmanthus fell on the ground, and wanted to pick up the clean ones and dry them to make sweet-scented osmanthus balls for the young lady, so she lowered her head and didn't look at it." When it comes to Young Madam, please forgive me, Young Madam!"

The more you rush to explain, the more guilty you are.

Su Jiu walked to a quiet place nearby, and asked in a low voice, "Nurse Fan, since I entered the mansion, you have served by my side, and I have always trusted you!"

Mother Fan hurriedly expressed her loyalty, "This servant is also loyal to the young lady, and has no second thoughts!"

Su Jiu nodded, with a serious expression on her face, "To be honest, although I brought the nanny into the mansion, she is not as loyal to me as Nanny Fan. In recent days, I always feel that the nanny has something to hide from me, and the nanny is still there." You have to help me pay more attention, from now on, Nanny will be my confidant!"

Seeing that Su Jiu was going to treat herself as a confidant and take over the position of nanny, Mother Fan felt a surge of excitement in her heart, her eyes flickered slightly, she looked around, and moved closer to Su Jiu,
"The servant does have something to report to the young lady!"

"Tell me!" Su Jiu raised her eyebrows and looked at her with a solemn and trusting look.

"A few nights ago, the servant saw the nanny sneaking into the Jinglan Garden behind the servant who delivered the food!" Mother Fan said mysteriously.

Su Jiu frowned, and asked in puzzlement, "What is Nanny going to Jinglan Garden for?"

Mother Fan blurted out, "It must be about exposing Qiao An as a bandit!"

Su Jiu's eyes suddenly turned cold, her delicate face was stained with murderous intent, she narrowed her eyes and said, "How does Nurse Fan know that Nanny is going to expose Qiao An?"

Mother Fan knew that she had slipped her tongue, her face turned pale, and she said in a panic, "I saw the nurse sneaking around, so I followed her secretly, and listened to what she and the second lady said, ah!"

Before she finished speaking, Su Jiu suddenly strangled her neck, her eyes widened, she looked at Su Jiu in horror, the bamboo basket in her hand fell to the ground, and yellow flowers scattered all over the floor.

"Last time about Shi Huasan, you provoke me and nanny, and now you want to pin what you did on nanny, is it because you think I'm too weak to be bullied?"

When Xiao Lie was talking to her, she suspected that there was an inner ghost in her yard. Sure enough, it was this Diao Nu who overheard what she and Ji Yuxian had said, and went to report to the Second Madam, but today she missed the trap after being tempted.

Su Jiu's voice was cold, Mother Fan's face turned purple, her breathing gradually became difficult, she whimpered, her eyes stared, and she kept struggling.

Gradually, Su Jiu exerted more force, her eyes were cold, and she grabbed Fan Momo by the neck and lifted her up.

Mother Fan's eyes turned white, she kicked and beat Su Jiu's hand vigorously, her terrified face slowly turned purple, as if she was about to suffocate to death.

Just as her body was gradually weakening, Su Jiu let go of her hand abruptly, and pressed on her neck. Mother Fan fell to the ground with a plop, and she fainted immediately without making a sound.

"If you love to tell tales like this, you won't have to talk for the rest of your life!"

Su Jiu glanced at the woman coldly, and strode out.

Seeing Mr. Yu after leaving the Izumo Pavilion, Su Jiu said, "I don't like that Nanny Fan, so I'll beat him up and throw him out of the house."

"Yes!" Although Yu Lao was surprised, he didn't ask any more questions, and responded respectfully.

"Also," Su Jiu paused, hesitated for a moment before saying, "You don't need to talk about this matter with Ji Yuxian. If Yu Lao wants to report back, he can tell him as I said. I don't like this slave, so I don't want to keep it. By my side!"

Yu Lao hurriedly lowered his head, "I don't dare, the young lady will not stay if she says not to stay, as long as the eldest son doesn't ask, the old slave will obey the young lady's words and never say anything about it!"

Su Jiu knew that Yu Lao was loyal to Ji's family and Ji Yuxian, and it was already very good to be able to do this.

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, the weather was getting cooler day by day. The second lady had been waiting outside for the news that Joan was found out by the emperor and the bandit was dismissed. However, as the day went on, there seemed to be no movement.

Yuan'er tried to find a way to meet with Jize, and when asked about this matter, Jize dared not say that he didn't do anything, he just faltered and said that he had already reported it to the emperor, probably the emperor didn't find anything and let it go.

Yuan'er told this to the second wife, and the second wife threw several teacups angrily.

Apart from the second wife, Ji Yuxian was also waiting for news from the palace, and was prepared to deal with it, but the palace became quieter day by day.

Only Dao Jize did not follow the second wife's instructions, and he couldn't help but secretly disappointed.

……

The Zhao family at the foot of Yuhu Mountain, because of the new baby, the family is really busy, and there is joy in this busyness. Zhao Sheng even went up the mountain to chop firewood more and more energetically.

The woman gave birth to a boy, named Zhao Shi, which means strong and safe.

Now that the full moon has passed, mother and child are healthy, Zhao Sheng has more burdens on his body, and he goes to work at Yuan Liu's house every day before dawn, hoping to take advantage of the autumn harvest to earn more wages and feed the whole family in winter.

It was cold in the mountains, and it was getting cold before September.

This morning, just after Mao Shi, and it was still dark, Zhao Sheng got out of bed, put on his clothes lightly, and planned to go out to work.

"Wait a minute!" The woman on the bed was awakened, pushed the sleeping child in her arms, and sat up.

Zhao Sheng turned around and smiled innocently, "What's the matter?"

In the darkness, the woman looked cold and asked, "Have you delivered a letter to my house?"

Zhao Sheng's smile froze, but he said, "I've been busy recently, and I can't leave. I wanted to ask someone to deliver it, but I didn't feel at ease. When I'm done working for a while, I'll go to Fuyang myself!"

The woman looked at him coldly.

Zhao Sheng felt guilty, afraid that the woman would ask any more questions, so he hurriedly stepped out with the curtain lifted.

The woman was sitting in the dark, when she heard the sound of the door closing, and the man's footsteps stomped away, she felt a surge of despair, as if she finally understood that Zhao Sheng would not help her.

Does she want to stay here all her life suffering from poverty?

Do not!
never!

She was cowardly in the past, but now that she has experienced so much, she already understands that she has to rely on herself to get out of this tiger's den.

The woman's face was full of determination, and her hands were tightly clutching the quilt under her body.

Two days later, Yuanwai Liu's family had finished harvesting a piece of land and waited for another piece of crop to be ripe before harvesting, so Zhao Sheng and his helpers were given a day off.

Zhao Sheng told the woman at night that he didn't want to be idle, and planned to go up the mountain tomorrow to cut some firewood and sell it in the city.

It's getting cold, and the rich families in the city have already started burning charcoal.

The woman was doing needlework under the candlelight like beans, and said, "I think you should rest for a day, don't worry about chopping firewood, and the rice at home is gone. I think your daughter-in-law has a bad complexion these days, and her milk is not as good as before. Enough, you go to the city tomorrow to buy some meat and make up for her!"

When mentioning his wife, Zhao Sheng immediately responded, "Yes, good! Then I will go to the city tomorrow!"

Through a curtain, the woman listened in the west room, her eyes flickering in the darkness.

At night Zhao Sheng rushed in the yard and sat for a while, waiting for the woman in the house to almost fall asleep before getting up and going back to the house.

Since the woman was pregnant, he was not allowed to touch him again. He suffered so much every day, fearing that he could not help touching the woman at night and make her scream, which would not only wake up the child, but also make his mother worry.

And he was also afraid that the woman would ask about going to Fuyang again, so he simply avoided her and waited for the woman to fall asleep before entering the house.

The night was getting dark, and there was darkness in the mountains, and the continuous mountains were lying on the land like wild beasts.

The lights in the room had already been turned off, and Zhao Sheng probably fell asleep, so he got up and strode into the room.

Lifting the curtain and entering the West Room, carefully undressed and lay on the side of the bed, looked at the woman's delicate sleeping face by the moonlight, a simple and honest dark face softened involuntarily, all the grievances disappeared, satisfied He pulled the quilt over his body and lay down.

Just as he was about to close his eyes and go to sleep, the quilt was lifted suddenly, and the woman got in, leaned her soft body against him, and put her hand into his thin undershirt.

Zhao Sheng froze all of a sudden, his chest jumped up, he opened his eyes and looked at the top of the bed, his stiff body didn't dare to move, he could only hear the rolling sound of his throat in the darkness.

　Tomorrow is New Year's Eve, pay tribute to the twelve who are still writing Chinese New Year, and pay tribute to the relatives who are still reading the twelve Chinese New Year, thank you for your company! (〃''▽''〃) Also, dear ones, Happy Valentine's Day!
