Chapter 25 Foil

When Aunt Rong knew she was pregnant, she wept with joy. She had been looking forward to her son for so many years, but she didn't expect this child to come when she gave up.

Aunt Rong touched her stomach and said, "Son, you are really my mother's lucky star." If this child hadn't come in time, she would have been sent to the family temple.

Yu Jing didn't think so much about her younger brother, so she asked, "Auntie, what should we do now?"

Aunt Rong sighed slightly: "During this time, we just need to recuperate well in Yiran Hospital." Having this child is like having a talisman, but Aunt Rong also knows that if she dares to borrow this child to do something, the old lady will not Move her, and after the child is born, she will definitely settle the score with her.

But Yu Jing was unwilling: "Auntie, I am already a head shorter than them in terms of status. If I miss this chance again, I will not be able to stand up in front of them in the future."

Aunt Rong poked Yu Jing's head, and said bitterly, "Are you regretting it now? What did you listen to when I asked you to do your homework? It's too late to regret it now?" She was called until late, and even said that she would withdraw due to illness, why did she come up with such a bad plan.

The mother and daughter were talking when they saw Mother Luo coming. Mother Luo didn't talk too much nonsense, and directly took away the two close maids and her confidant woman beside Aunt Rong.

Aunt Rong's face was livid with anger, but she didn't dare to confront the old lady. Now that the Duke is no longer protecting her as before, she still keeps a low profile. Moreover, no matter how important it is now, it is more important than the child in the belly.

Seeing that she and Yuchen were the only ones in class, Yuxi wondered in her heart, could it be that Yujing also quit due to illness? It shouldn't be, I was still shaking after watching it yesterday, and Yujing is different from Yuru, Yuru can't keep up with the progress of study, Yujing has been doing well recently.

Full of questions, Yuxi asked Hongshan after class.

Hongshan's eyebrows and eyes are all smiles, it's good that the second girl is gone, and she can't bully her master anymore: "Miss, Aunt Rong was sick yesterday, and the second girl has been serving Aunt Rong all night, and she also fell ill .”

Yuxi doubts the authenticity of this news, but Yujing's temperament is not like a filial daughter who can serve others without sleeping all night: "How did Aunt Rong get sick?"

Hongshan shook her head and said: "I don't know. Yesterday evening, the old lady called Aunt Rong and the second girl. It is said that Aunt Rong was carried out. The doctor came soon." The maid next to the old lady said The mouth was very tight like a clam shell, she couldn't get any useful information. These news were obtained from the rough envoy in the old lady's yard.

Yuxi felt that this matter should not be as simple as it appeared on the surface: "Did the old lady meet anyone before calling Aunt Rong and Second Miss?"

Hongshan thought for a while and said, "Yes, Mr. Song went to see the old lady."

Yuxi understood at once, fearing that the second sister's fraud would be exposed by Mr. Song. Yuxi was actually a little puzzled, she could see that there was a problem, why did someone as powerful as Mr. Song find out that Yujing was cheating until now? What sickness, if her guess is correct, Aunt Rong's illness is false, but it is true that she is covering for Yujing.

Yu Jing didn't come, and there were only two students left in the class, Yu Xi and Yu Chen. By this time, Yu Xi didn't want to hide her clumsiness anymore. No matter how clumsy she is, Yuchen will compare her to nothing. But even if Yuxi tried her best, she could only draw with Yuchen. But Yuxi knows that Yuchen still has to practice piano and paint in her spare time. In contrast, Yuxi was still reduced to a foil.

What Yuxi didn't know was that Mr. Song was shocked by her performance at this meeting. She thought that Yuxi couldn't keep up with the progress, and she was still wondering how long Yuxi could last. She didn't expect Yuxi to give her such a big surprise.

During the holiday, it happened to be a rainy day.

Yuxi stood at the door, looking at the small raindrops falling like pearls from time to time,

He muttered: "It's hard to have two days off, and it's raining." There are two days off in a month, which is stipulated by Mr. Song, and it is also for students to relax. Of course, Oak Hee couldn't relax. Once you relax, you may not be able to keep up with the process.

On rainy days, embroidered shoes get wet easily.

Shen's mother said: "Girl, let me carry you there!" Girls from rich families are very delicate, and if a four-year-old girl goes shopping, she will be hugged by someone.

Yu Xi was unwilling: "No, I'll walk over by myself." It's not that she's really only four years old, she's already in her twenties, so it's awkward to think about it.

Mother Shen saw that Yuxi's attitude was very firm, so she took a step back: "Girl, no matter how careful you are, there is still a quarter of an hour's journey from Rose Garden to the upper room, and your shoes will always be wet. If you let the girl catch the cold, it will be The crime of the old slave. Girl, let the old slave carry you there!"

Seeing that Yu Xi was still unwilling, Mo Ju said: "Girl, if your clothes get wet, then the old lady will definitely blame us for our carelessness."

Yuxi didn't know where the old madam got her interest from. Yesterday she ordered her to go to the room for breakfast today, otherwise she wouldn't have to go out if it rained today. Yuxi thought for a while and said: "Mom is getting old, let Hongshan carry it!" Hongshan is the old lady's maid, and now she must not be left behind when she goes to the old lady's place.

Yuxi was lying on Hongshan's back, and Shen's mother was holding a green cloth umbrella beside her. Walking in the continuous drizzle, Yuxi couldn't help reaching out to touch it, the rain was icy cold.

Seeing this, Shen's mother hurriedly said: "Girl, don't play, you will catch a cold." It's the easiest day to catch a cold in this day. Now the girl's body is not as good as before, and now she still eats the tonic prescription prescribed by the doctor every day!

Yuxi smiled and said, "I'm not so delicate." Since she studied with Mr. Song, the old lady's attitude towards her has become better and better. She is not really only four years old, the old lady must have a plan for such a big change in her attitude. But given her current situation, she has no choice but to cover her with soldiers.

When she arrived in the upper room, the old lady didn't show too much enthusiasm, which made Yuxi feel relieved, she didn't know if she could bear it if there was a deep love between grandparents and grandchildren.

The maid Cuiyu came over and said: "Old Madam, breakfast is ready, you can eat now."

The breakfast was very rich, including japonica rice porridge, steamed buns, crystal shrimp dumplings, lily cakes, plum cakes, and six side dishes such as spinach, crispy shredded ginger, and pickled cucumbers. There was also a chicken soup with bird’s nest and mushrooms.

After seeing so many delicious food, Yu Xi's stomach started to growl. I don't know if it is the shadow left by her previous life, but now she is the least able to starve.

The cooking skills of Shangfang are definitely the best in the Duke's mansion. The taste of the food is not to say much better than that of the big kitchen, even Fang's mother can't compare.

The food is delicious, and the more you eat, the more you eat. Yuxi ate a bowl of japonica rice porridge, two small steamed buns, six crystal shrimp dumplings, and couldn't eat a lot of side dishes, and finally drank a small bowl of mushroom chicken soup.

When Yuxi was eating, the old lady looked at her more than once, and finally the old lady frowned so much that two flies could be killed: "Si girl, look at how your third sister uses things?" So She looked like a starved ghost reincarnated, and people who didn't know the inside story saw her and thought that the Duke's government had treated her harshly.

Yuxi was only focused on eating just now, so she didn't pay attention to Yuchen. Now being reminded by the old lady, if you don't want to pay attention, you can't do it.

Yuchen ate very slowly, chewed slowly, and picked up vegetables with chopsticks gracefully. A ladylike style.

Yuxi was a little discouraged, she became a foil after a meal. I don't know when the days of this foil will end.

After eating these, the maid brought another bowl of goat's milk egg custard. Yu Xi felt a little regretful, if she knew she would not be so full, this goat's milk egg custard looked delicious. Although she was very full, Yuxi still took a bite, so let's have a taste anyway! If it wasn't for being stared at by the old lady, she really wanted to finish the bent goat's milk egg custard, it was so delicious.

Mrs. Han couldn't bear it any longer, and said, "Are you always so unrestrained in your meals?" I don't know how Shen's mother served her, and the fourth girl didn't know how to persuade her like this.

Yuxi shook her head and said, "No. It's just that today's food is really delicious, so I can't help but eat more."

Only then did Mrs. Han's face soften, and she said: "In the future, you need to pay attention. No matter how delicious the food is, you have to eat it in moderation. Overeating is not good for your body." so good.

Yuxi answered honestly.

After breakfast, Yuxi was going to the main courtyard. Yuchen came out and said to her: "Fourth sister, I'm going to visit my uncle's house tomorrow, you can go with me!" Yuchen's uncle is Pingqinghou, and now he is the left servant of the Ministry of War, an important minister who holds real power.

Yuxi didn't want to get up: "Third sister, no need, I want to take advantage of these two days to study my homework. Otherwise, I'm afraid I will be beaten again." Fortunately, Mr. Song's beating is just for show, not a big deal. It hurts, but Yuxi still feels quite humiliated.

Yuchen didn't force it, and said with a smile, "That's fine."

When the old lady heard that Yuxi rejected Yuchen's invitation, she held the hand of the Buddhist beads for a while, and said to Luo's mother beside her: "This girl's thoughts are a little deep, let Mrs. Shen watch carefully, and tell me immediately if there is anything wrong. "

Mother Luo quickly agreed.

Yuxi only went to the main courtyard twice this month, and each time she came and went in a hurry. This time, Yuxi had time to talk with Qiu Shi for a long time.

Liu Yin walked in and said, "Ma'am, Aunt Rong said she has some pain in her stomach, she wants to call a doctor." The news of Aunt Rong's pregnancy was not publicized, but it still couldn't escape Qiu's eyes. It's just because the old lady didn't make any noise, she didn't dare to act rashly.

Seeing Qiu's expression worried, Yuxi stood up and said, "Auntie, I still have a lot of homework, I'll go back first."

When we went out, the rain had stopped. Yuxi said: "Go for a walk in the garden." The garden after the rain must be more beautiful.
