Chapter 70
"Madam, her illness is really slow to recover. Since she became an aunt, she has not served the crown prince yet. I don't think she will have the opportunity to serve the crown prince in the future."
Zhuqing came over to talk about Ge Baoer's affairs whenever he had the chance, always in a gloating tone.
She took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "Madam, the Biluochun here is better."
Of course the tea in Wudinghou's Mansion is not bad, but Lin Yunwan is picky about her father's drinking. The tea here is always new every year.
Seeing that Zhuqing liked it, Lin Yunwan said: "I also have Tianmu Qingding here, do you want to try it?"
"want!"
Everything about Madam is of good quality, and she doesn’t reject anyone who comes.
Lin Yunwan asked Pingye to make tea and bring it over.
Zhuqing drank it and was very surprised: "It's the third eye before the rain."
Lin Yun smiled: "You really have a good tongue."
Zhuqing took a small sip and said, "Madam's tea has been stored well, and now I can still smell the fragrance before the rain."
The two chatted for a while. The mothers in charge were coming over, so Zhuqing voluntarily stepped back.
Lin Yunwan's housekeeper was very casual now and dismissed them quickly. While taking a nap, she asked Pingye: "I haven't heard you talk about Xi Liu for a while. How is she now?"
Ge Baoer is ill and is not popular in the house. Now that his status is low, Xiliu may not be doing well either.
Pingye thought for a while and said: "It doesn't seem to be anything bad. I heard that I don't cry often anymore, but I'm not as comfortable as before when I was in Yushou Hall. After all, Aunt Ge is such a master, and there is no wife who is so easy to take care of." "
Lin Yunwan said: "Keep looking at her."
It wouldn't matter if Xiliu was someone else's girl. It would be a bit strange for her to commit suicide by throwing herself into a well while serving Ge Baoer.
Pingye got the order and waited for Lin Yunwan to rest, then went to find Xiliu himself.
But Xiliu is not in Yuxing Pavilion at the moment.
Tongliu and Pingye said, "Sister, can you ask Wu'er? Aunt Ge went out for a walk. The wind started blowing now. Wu'er seems to have sent a cloak to Auntie."
"Sister Pingye, what do you want from her? I'll send a message to you later."
Pingye didn't say anything was wrong. When she left, she just said to Tongliu, "I think it's better to call her Xiliu."
Tong Liu sighed: "My slave also likes to call her Xi Liu, but Aunt Ge changed her name. Even if we call her Xi Liu again, she doesn't dare to agree. In this yard, everyone still calls her Wu'er."
Pingye shook her head, feeling that Aunt Ge was from a humble background and it was too casual to name the girl!
It was windy in late autumn. Xi Liu took her cloak and went to the garden to find her master.
Suddenly I heard someone talking inside the rockery, and it wasn't a woman's voice!
"Who is there?"
After she shouted, a gust of wind blew through the garden and her voice was blown away. No one responded.
As soon as she walked over, she actually heard Aunt Ge talking. Who was Aunt Ge talking to?
Ge Baoer hugged Brother Qing and his eyes were swollen from crying.
"You're stupid, how could I blame you? I know you have no choice but to do it yourself."
Brother Qing felt very guilty: "Mom, do you really not blame me for ignoring you?"
Ge Baoer wiped away his tears and said with a smile: "Have you forgotten what mother told you before? As long as you are promising, I will do whatever you ask me to do."
Brother Qing burst into tears.
His mother was still so kind to him, and he was treating his mother so well?
"Mom. When I grow up and make a living, I will definitely be filial to you. I will ask my father and the old lady to treat you better and give you good clothes to wear and a good yard to live in."
With Lin Yunwan here, how could she ever have such a day!
Ge Baoer smiled happily and said to Brother Qing: "My dear son, mother has been waiting for this day!"
"Qing'er, you can do whatever you want to Mom, but you still have to come to the rockery to see Mom when you have time. Mom really misses you, Qing'er."
Anyway, it was just a secret meeting, and neither the madam nor the old madam would know.
My aunt will not blame her, and my mother will not be sad either. This is the best.
Brother Qing smiled and agreed: "Mom, I will come over often in the future, and you should get well soon."
The mother and son did not dare to talk any more. Ge Baoer whispered: "Go back quickly. You go first. Mom will leave later, so as not to be seen."
Brother Qing nodded and reluctantly said, "Mom, I'll leave first."
"Good boy, let's go quickly, study hard and listen to Mr. Zhang's words."
"Mom, I know."
As soon as Brother Qing turned his head, a panicked face appeared on the rockery. Wu'er listened to their mother and son talking for a long time on the top of the rockery.
"Mom! Someone is eavesdropping!"
He shouted nervously.
Ge Baoer rushed out and protected his son behind him. When he saw it was Wu'er, he turned around and said calmly to Brother Qing: "It's okay, it's okay, it's my girl. You go first, I'll go talk to her."
Let Brother Qing leave from another way.
Brother Qing didn't dare to leave. He hid behind the stone and watched his mother and the girl talking.
The five people were all frightened and took several steps back. When there was no place to retreat, their legs stiffly leaned against the rockery.
"Aunt, aunt..."
how could be!
Why did Master Qing call Aunt Ge "Mother"? She heard it several times and got it right. Master Qing just called "Mother".
Ge Baoer came over and took Wu'er's hand and said, "Have you heard everything?"
Wu'er looked pale and nodded.
Ge Baoer said: "Wu'er, my good sister, you must not tell anyone. If you tell anyone, I will die. My life is in your hands. You have to save me and Brother Qing." Son."
"Brother Qing will repay you when he grows up."
Wu'er wanted to shake his head.
She doesn’t want Master Qing’s repayment! She just wished she hadn't heard it.
Wuer cried, why would she hear such a thing.
What should I do.
Ge Baoer wiped her tears gently: "Good sister, stop crying. Just pretend you didn't see it and nothing will happen, okay?"
Wu'er lowered his head, unable to refuse.
Ge Baoer comforted Wu'er, and when he saw that his son had not left, he went over and whispered to him: "Don't be afraid, she is mother's girl. Mother has made an agreement with her, and she will not tell anything."
Brother Qing said softly: "Then I'm leaving." His voice was much softer than before, and my mother didn't dare to shout again.
"move!"
Ge Baoer watched his son go and said to Wuer, "Aren't you here to give me a cloak? Why don't you help me?"
Wu'er moved stupidly and put her cloak on.
On the way back, Ge Baoer held Wu'er's hand.
Wu'er couldn't help but ask: "Auntie, aren't you only twenty years old? How could it be possible? It's Master Qing's..."
Ge Baoer said: "It's not difficult for the Lu family to be older or younger."
Wu'er lowered his head, feeling his head was big.
This was the first time she had heard of such a thing in her whole life.
Tongliu noticed that Wu'er had been distracted in recent days and asked Wu'er to chat: "What's wrong with you?"
Wu'er said: "No, it's okay."
Tongliu sighed and said, "Is it because Aunt Ge's illness has passed on to you?"
Wuer said no.
Tongliu told her: "Sister Pingye who is next to Madam has come to find you."
Upon hearing the word "ma'am", Wu'er trembled with fright and asked with a pale face: "Why are you looking for me?"
"How would I know. But Sister Pingye said it was nothing important."
"oh."
Wu'er left with his head sullen, not daring to say more to Tong Liu.
While Aunt Ge was sleeping, she went out to relax, sighing all the way.
What should I do? Should I tell my wife about such a big thing?
It would be fine if Master Qing were a concubine, but this is a concubine! Madam, she still wants to support him. This is so sorry for Madam.
But if she told her, Aunt Ge would probably not survive.
"well."
Wu'er was worried to death.
Brother Qing is more worried than she is.
Mr. Zhang knocked on the table with his ruler: "Why are you distracted?"
Brother Qing stood up and replied: "Sir, the student has a headache."
Zhang Fengan felt that the recent class time was a bit long, so he said, "Let you rest for half a day."
"Thank you, sir."
Brother Qing returned to the house and wanted to find his mother. Will the maid tell the truth?
He was so scared that he couldn't sleep well.
If his mother and brother knew his identity, would they still treat him well?
He wants them all to be good to him, one to be good to him.
