I was a housekeeper in ancient times

Chapter 74: Enemies don’t get together

It was Xiaohan's turn to rest. Xiaohan was a diligent person and didn't want to sleep in. Instead, he got up early as usual, made glutinous rice cakes and fried cakes, as well as pickled cucumbers and multi-grain porridge, and sent them to Lin Weiqiao.

Lin Weiqiao had just gotten up and was still in a dream. When she saw Xiaohan bringing her breakfast, she became much more energetic. "It's hard for you to have this heart. You rarely have time, why don't you think about taking a rest?"

Xiaohan smiled and said, "I am used to being busy. I don't know what to do when I have some free time."

"Don't you have any relatives outside the palace?"

"No, all gone."

When saying this, Xiaohan seemed to be deliberately hiding something.

After breakfast, they were about to go to the kitchen. When they passed the corridor, they met Ah Ya. Ah Ya came up to Xiao Han and said, "Hey, Xiao Han, you are here. Your mother is here and is waiting for you outside. Why don't you go and see her?"

Xiaohan felt panicked and helpless as if he had been exposed. His face turned pale and he lowered his head and hurried away.

Lin Weiqiao and A Ya looked at each other and asked in confusion: "Xiao Han has a mother?"

Ah Ya said: "What you said is true, mom. Without a mother, how could Xiao Han exist?"

"No, she just said that she had no relatives at home, so how come a biological mother suddenly appeared?"

"Xiao Han and her mother don't get along well."

According to A Ya, Xiao Han's father died early, leaving only mother and daughter to depend on each other.

When Xiaohan was five or six years old, her mother could no longer bear it and remarried with her to a family named Dai.

The Dai family couldn't tolerate her, so they sold her to the Bo's house without her mother's knowledge. They also signed a death contract, so her life and death had nothing to do with the Dai family.

After hearing this, Lin Weiqiao couldn't help but sigh, "Then Xiaohan should hate her stepfather, why does she hate her mother?"

Ah Ya said, "Alas, mother, to put it bluntly, her stepfather is just an outsider, so it's normal that he can't tolerate her. At first, she had her own reasons for being her mother, but her mother never came to see her for several years after she was sold to the uncle's house. It was only when she was a little older that her mother came to see her. The most heartbreaking thing is..."

"What is it?"

"She only has her mother as a relative, but her mother no longer has her as her only daughter. Her mother hasn't visited her for several years, but she gave birth to another daughter and brought this little daughter to see her. What do you think she felt at that time? When she first came to the Bo's Mansion, she often dreamed that her mother didn't want her, but later she stopped dreaming about it. Her mother really didn't want her."

Lin Weiqiao felt distressed when she heard this. There are so many miserable people in this world.

Later, when I went out with Yu Muliu, I met Xiaohan who came back with red eyes. Thinking that Xiaohan was in a bad mood and it was a rare opportunity to go out, I took Xiaohan with me.

Sitting in the carriage, watching the hustle and bustle outside, Yu Muliu seemed very excited and talked non-stop all the way.

Lin Weiqiao closed her eyes and thought deeply, her mind full of Yu Muliu's "Mom, Mom..."

"Mom, look, there are clay figurines for sale. Let's buy some for Wanjie and the others later."

"well."

"Mom, how long will it take to get there?"

"Ask the groom."

The temple we visited this time was not far away, it was right in the capital city, it was Dayin Temple.

Dayin Temple is one of the most famous ancient temples in Beijing. It has a large area, many ancient trees and pleasant scenery. Even if you don't worship Buddha, it is a good place to relax.

After getting off the carriage, Yu Muliu couldn't wait to go everywhere and couldn't be persuaded at all. She quickly asked Xiaohan and Xiu'an to follow her. Xiu'an was the personal maid that Yu Muyan gave to Yu Muliu.

The Yu family is large and there are not enough people to serve them. Yu Muliu has grown up with only an elderly wet nurse by his side and no maid to serve him personally.

When they arrived at the Bo's Mansion, Yu Muyan specially gave a name called Xiu'an to Yu Muliu.

"Hey, it's cooler here." Mrs. Chen, who came with us, said, "It's also thanks to Miss Liu that we can come out and worship the Buddha. Why don't you go and worship?"

"Me? I don't think I have anything to ask for help."

"Oh, that's really interesting. You have a lot of troubles at home, and you don't have anything to pray to the Buddha for? You should pray that your son can do something and stop asking you for money every day. Pray that your eldest daughter will suffer less in her husband's family, and pray that your youngest daughter can find a good husband..."

"Tsk, don't tell me, it's true."

As she said this, she entered the main hall and kowtowed three times, silently expressing her wish to become rich as soon as possible and to be free. She didn't really want to work like a slave for others anymore.

She kowtowed so hard that when she stood up, she saw stars in front of her eyes.

She stood up to burn incense, turned around and glanced at the person next to her. Why did he look a little familiar?

Looking closely, it turned out to be Liang's mother.

It's true that enemies always meet.

She curled her lips, burned incense, turned around, and happened to meet Liang's mother's gaze.

Mother Liang was stunned at first, then a sneer appeared on her lips.

She rolled her eyes, pretended not to see it, and walked out.

She was still very angry about what happened last time, but after knowing that Mother Liang was King Jingcheng's person and that King Jingcheng would fail in his attempt to seize the throne, she suddenly felt relieved.

If you participate in the fight for the throne and succeed, you will be promoted to a higher position and enjoy wealth and honor; if you fail, your life will be in danger and your entire clan will be affected.

In the future, even if Mother Liang didn't die, she would be exiled or forced to become a government slave. In any case, her end would be very miserable.

Things have been so miserable, why should she still be worried? God will punish Liang's mother on her behalf, so she just needs to wait patiently.

Mother Liang followed her out, and seeing her silly and happy look, she sneered, "It seems that the person that Mother Lin is looking for is not that important."

She said calmly, "No matter how important it is, it's in the hands of the King of Hell, and I can't get it back. I can think of it in a positive way, just think of it as one less mouth to feed."

"Is the dignified Pingrong Marquis's Mansion so lacking in a little maid?"

"I was looking for a maid to serve me, but I didn't expect someone else to get there first. A dignified Chuqing House, you couldn't even bear to let go of a little maid. How could I not know that you were so short of staff?"

"How can a little girl be valued so much by you, Mother Lin? And you even condescend to beg me?"

"I don't understand, how could a little girl like you, Madam Liang, be so reluctant to give her to me."

As she spoke, she sat on the stone bench under the ancient tree. No one knew where Mrs. Chen had gone, and no one knew where Yu Muliu and the others had gone to play.

She sat with her legs crossed, adjusting her dress as if nothing had happened, took out a dark lotus-colored handkerchief with a longevity pattern from her bosom, and wiped the sweat off her face, not paying any attention to Mother Liang.

She knew that Mother Liang was suspicious. Heaven and earth could bear witness to it. She was an old maid and she just wanted to help the servant at home. Mother Liang should not be suspicious.

Mother Liang walked up to her and gently waved her round fan, "I don't know yet, which girl does Mother Lin want?"

She acted nonchalant, "It doesn't matter which girl it is. Just assume that girl is not meant for me. I'll just pick another one."

As soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly thought of something, that is, Lu Yuxuan was also King Jingcheng's man, and the fake death was also instructed by King Jingcheng. Does Mother Liang know about it to some extent?
