Chapter 555 Sir, Please Stay (17)
After hearing this, the maid looked embarrassed. After hesitating for a moment, she couldn't help but said, "Madam, will the master..." Before the maid finished speaking, she was interrupted by Madam Deng: "Mingzhu, you don't have to say it, I know it in my heart."
It has been three days since Mrs. Deng returned home, but her husband has never stepped into her room.
Considering that her parents' home is far away in Mianzhou, it is indeed difficult for her to help her husband here. In this way, she can only fight for the face of the mistress of the house by herself!
"Madam, this is today's pregnancy-preserving medicine."
Seeing that the medicine was already warm, Madam Deng picked up the bowl and drank it all. The baby in her belly was saved. Now that she was no longer the head of the family, the luxury of the mansion had nothing to do with her.
"Stop taking the medicine."
"Madam, Xiaoxi knows a little bit about dog-skin plasters, but if we don't continue to use this pregnancy-preserving medicine..."
"I have my own opinion. Medicine is poisonous. Instead of taking medicine every day, it is better to follow that girl's advice and relax and pay attention to your diet."
Mrs. Deng believed that the gods appeared to bless her, so the maid often massaged her acupoints and prepared side dishes for her. Her physical condition was much better than at the beginning.
Just as she was about to sit down and rest, a maid came over in a hurry and reported: "Madam, the newcomer is here to pay his respects to you today!"
Hearing this, Mrs. Deng couldn't help but sneer, thinking to herself: Humph, she's finally here. She really wants to see with her own eyes what kind of woman can make that unfaithful man change his mind.
I only heard the maid shouting, "Auntie Ling, the mistress is inside, please come in quickly."
As the words fell, a woman in a pink dress with a graceful figure walked in.
The woman walked lightly, as gracefully as a willow swaying in the wind, to the center of the room, then knelt respectfully on the ground, kowtowed to Mrs. Deng and greeted her.
"I should have come to pay my respects to you a few days ago, but the official has been busy with many affairs until late at night. Even the official's troubles have made me worried, so I have delayed until now to come and pay my respects to you. I hope that you will be magnanimous and forgive my sins."
As Aunt Ling spoke, she carefully observed the changes in Mrs. Deng's expression.
However, to her surprise, Mrs. Deng just smiled and replied calmly, "Since you are so busy, it's really hard for Aunt Ling. It's a coincidence that I have been quite free and comfortable recently. I think it's all thanks to you, a caring person, who can share the worries for the master!"
In fact, how could Mrs. Deng not hear the implicit protest in this, but at this moment she felt much more relaxed.
After all, ever since Aunt Ling came into the mansion, her husband seldom came to her place, and she could take advantage of this time to settle down and take good care of her pregnancy.
She no longer had to live frugally to maintain the dignity of the first wife, or even have to live off her dowry.
That's not right! You know, her generous dowry can all be exchanged for banknotes and cash.
It’s just that in the past few years, some of it was spent due to various expenses.
Alas, who can I blame for this? It's because my husband doesn't have the ability to make money.
Seeing this woman being so generous and free-spirited, Aunt Ling couldn't help but murmur in her heart: the outside world has always rumored that this woman is narrow-minded and extremely jealous. Now her behavior may just be a superficial act of magnanimity. Who knows, she may be furious at the moment.
So Aunt Ling tentatively said, "Sister is really generous."
The woman smiled slightly and replied, "I also think I am quite generous."
Hearing this answer, Aunt Ling suddenly felt a little embarrassed. After a dry laugh, she continued, "Sister, I have never had any improper thoughts about the housekeeper's affairs..."
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by the other party: "Don't say that. It would be better if you are interested in participating in the housekeeping affairs. After all, I am pregnant now, and my body is getting heavier. I have been feeling sleepy and lack energy recently. Since the master has given this matter to you, it is enough to prove that he thinks you are capable of doing this job."
Aunt Ling hurriedly replied with great trepidation: "Madam, you are too kind. I am of low status and shallow knowledge. I really don't dare to take on such an important task..."
However, the woman waved her hand and said in a slightly tired tone, "I am also a lowly person in this mansion, and my words don't count. Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. I'm really tired now."
It was obvious that this was an order to leave. Aunt Ling had no choice but to get up and say goodbye. After leaving the room, the smile on her face disappeared instantly.
She only felt a deep sense of powerlessness in her heart, as if she had punched soft cotton and had no strength at all.
"Master, I know you are suffering..."
"Mingzhu, I'm not that upset. I envy the second wife. While I'm saving money, they can spend money to buy what they like and want. They have many guards to protect them every day. They are also safer when encountering disasters, unlike me and my children who are helpless."
"Madam, this is really..."
"I won't tell anyone outside. After all, I've been through the gates of hell and I've let things go. As long as my child and I are safe and sound, that's the best situation."
"Yes." Mingzhu felt sad for her master. The price of letting go is very high.
My wife nearly died half a month ago due to complications with the fetus in her womb. She has been to the gates of death twice this month. It is really disheartening that your husband still treats her like this.
Gu Yuxi was holding a handkerchief, and a female teacher was teaching Deng Moci how to do horse stance. Madam Cui came with two maids.
Deng Moci became much calmer after this disaster. After arriving in the capital, he kept saying that he wanted to practice martial arts and make himself strong so that he could protect the people he wanted to protect in the future.
A seven-year-old kid has this idea and is still insisting on it even though he is sweating profusely. Gu Yuxi feels that there is a reason why the protagonist's halo favors him.
The female teacher said, "Miss, you can take a break and practice again later."
"I can hold on. I will become very strong and protect my family." Deng Moci gritted her teeth and insisted, her whole face red.
Gu Yuxi reminded: "Miss, Aunt Cui is here for something, you should take a rest. Practicing martial arts requires gradual progress, and you can't be impatient."
After that, Gu Yuxi was sized up by Deng Moci, who finally asked, "Practice with me next time!"
"Ah... me?" Gu Yuxi pointed at herself. She had so much work to do every day. What if she accidentally hurt the little kid while practicing?
