Chapter 181 Rumors in the Mansion.
“You are finally here. If you have anything to say, you can talk tomorrow. There’s plenty of time. Biyun will not leave this time, right?” The old Furen said with a smile.
Shen Biyun said before An Zhongtao can speak, said, “He didn’t say anything, it’s just that the time flies so fast, I didn’t expect it to be dark!”
An Zhongtao also nodded, and said yes.
No one spoke. An Qingran didn’t think about anything. It was normal for her aunt to chat with her father.
Two days later, Shen Biyun gave An Zhongtao a quilted gown, which she said was sewn by her own hands.
An Zhongtao was a little surprised: “This…I have enough clothes to wear, and there are special people in the mansion who to do this. You don’t need to do it yourself. So quickly you made a clothing. Did you stay up late?”
“Well, I didn’t stay up late. I just saw that cousin’s clothes didn’t fit and the robes were still old…” Shen Biyun’s words didn’t mean to say that Such a large a General House, are counting on the General to feed it, but yet the General has become so dusty.
An Zhongtao sighed, "This is not that they did not do a good job, but I like to wear the old ones, they do not fit, because I have lost some weight recently, there are too many things ......"
“So, cousin, don’t mind. I am idle as well. Since I regard this place as my own home, I should do some work. So don’t talk about me and also don’t be polite. Just accept it!” She went forward as she said and stuffed it into the General’s arms.
An Zhongtao has a headache about this cotton padded gown. He doesn’t know whether to accept it or not. According to the reason, his own woman takes care of all his clothes. This cousin is a guest. Even if he says to takes this place as home, he can’t really regard her as his own people.
Seeing his hesitation, Shen Biyun smiled and said, “Cousin, how could it be worse than before when we are so grown-up. At that time, our brother and sister got along with each other in a free manner. What should be the matter, where do you need to think about this? At that time, your shirt was broken, but I helped you mend it up. If you don’t wear the new one, you just say that the made up one cannot be seen, and it is no different from the new one!”
An Zhongtao smiled upon hearing the words, “Yes, your female work can’t say anything.”
“Yes, my heart is higher than the sky and my life is thinner than paper. I always feel that I am no worse than others and I have a high spirit of living at home. When Qin Shulin’s family was not rich enough, I thought there’s me. I will plan and prepare, how can it not be overtaken and defeated. But I didn’t expect … ” When Shen Biyun said this, her couldn’t say any more. Her tears fell one after another, like beads.
The more she cried, the more sad she felt. All the past events and memories were linked up, and the tears couldn’t stop. An Zhongtao was not good at coaxing people. He was at a loss when he looked at her like this and said: “don’t cry… It’s all over. Isn’t it better now? “
Shen Biyun nodded and continued to cry.
An Zhongtao hugged the jacket and didn’t know what to do for a while. Shen Biyun cried very sadly. Her body swayed a little, and she looked unstable. An Zhongtao couldn’t help but stretched out his hand to help. And Shen Biyun fell into his arms: “Cousin, why do you say I have such a hard life…”
“It will be fine, everything will be fine.” An Zhongtao still clumsily patted her on the shoulder, still pitying her in his heart.
*****
When Shen Biyun and An Zhongtao walk around ,it’s impossible for no one to see or doubt in the General’s mansion. Shen Biyun is such a beautiful woman. Although she is a widow, still feel pity for her. Don’t know how many times better than some concubines.
Men and women’s affairs, which have never been seen before. There are still people who can be caught up in the shadows, let alone they are still walking so close. But for the face of each family, no one has said it clearly.
An Qingran didn’t know these things at all, because she was working hard in the yard, and rarely went out with Rendong. Rendong didn’t practice skill. She just accompanied her. She occasionally helps to wash a needles, make a target and so on. She admired her xiaojie more and more. Therefore, she would do anything she asked to do. She is happy to be with her. She doesn’t make trouble.
Even so, when she went out and walked, she heard some comments.
She did not tell An Qingran, afraid it was a distraction.
She just told her about An Yanran and An Ranyue. She said that the two people are still walking around, which looks good on the surface.
And Lian Jinrong hasn’t been out of the yard much anymore. As for the other concubine rooms, they are also very quiet now.
An Qingran knew that they had no qualifications to compete with her mother.
Now she feels that she can relax for a while.
She did not expect that a potential threat gradually emerged.
*******””
Lian Jinyu didn’t know anything about her husband and his cousin. Only that they had dinner that day, they were late. Because of some kind of soup to drink. Lian Jinyu has been working very hard all day, and she didn’t have the leisure to worry about it. Besides, she didn’t think about it. Every day the General is the same as usual, coming to her room in the morning and evening, and occasionally resting with her. When he is not in her room, most of the time he lives in the study room and occasionally goes to the concubine room. She had no opinions about these things. It was normal that her body could not serve him, and she could not let him suffocate his body. Besides, those concubines treated her… It’s just a tool. Everyone comes here like this. It’s just because they’re afraid that their wives and concubines are pregnant.
She didn’t have any opinions on this. It was normal that her body could not serve him. She couldn’t let him suffocate his body. Besides, those concubines were just tools for her. Who’s family home is not like this. Afraid that his wife and concubines would be pregnant, so they took few more concubines.
However, Hong momo seemed to have something to say in the past two days, and she always stopped talking.
Lian Jinyu is most concerned about the labour date. She can’t remember exactly, so she asked Hong momo to prepare in advance in case.
Finally, Hong momo said this day, “Furen, if old slave don’t say this words, really can’t hold back!”
Lian Jinyu nodded: “yes, I know that you have endured for several days. If there is anything, you can say it now. Before I give birth, everything will be solved together!”
“Madam, this Miss Shen, do you really plan to keep her in the General’s Mansion?”
" The Old Madame and the General have already decided on this matter, there will be no change, Besides, I agreed to it at that time! Are there any problems, just say so!"
"Old slave heard rumours from the maids that Miss Shen often went to the General's study. At first to bring soup, then to bring food or something, and finally I heard that she made a set of clothes for the General. She stayed in the General's study for a long time before coming out, and someone said that she hugged the General and wouldn't let go ......"
