Chapter 294: Resolving doubts, everyone has their own destiny
"Sir, the zither is so broken, how can it be repaired?" Xu Yan'er pulled Xiao Yan'an's sleeve in dissatisfaction, "In my opinion, forget it."
"If you break someone else's things, there's no reason not to pay for it."
"Your Highness is right." Xu Yan'er immediately agreed obediently, "Your Highness, I cooked some pear soup, would you like to have a taste?"
"Okay." Xiao Yan'an agreed and left with Xu Yan'er.
Qingluo also turned around to report to Ji Chuhe.
"Madam, Aunt Xu's brains worked quickly this time, otherwise, she would have been punished."
"If she had any sense she wouldn't have messed with a poisonous snake."
"There's nothing we can do about it. Some people just like to die, and we can't stop them."
"Aunt Qingluo, you must pay more attention to Dongling."
"Madam, rest assured. I am keeping an eye on you. Liao Yunfei doesn't dare to touch Aunt Dong, right?"
"Even a rabbit will bite when it gets angry, not to mention that it is a poisonous snake."
"Madam is right."
……
Dong Ling leaned on the railing, stroking her bulging belly, with a worried look on her face.
I haven't seen my wife for three days, and I feel unwell all over.
"I wonder if Madam's incense has been made yet? Son, Madam said that she is worried that some ingredients in the spices will affect the fetus. We can no longer go to Madam's courtyard. Even Madam is afraid that the smell of incense will be on her body, so she can't see us."
"Aunt, it's windy outside, be careful not to catch a cold." Feng came out from the inner room and handed a cloak to Dong Ling.
"Forget it, let's go back to the house." Dong Ling got up and went back into the house.
Feng also followed in.
Ji Chuhe sent Feng to take care of Dong Ling.
What was given was the monthly salary of the head nanny.
However, Feng was only doing some rough work, and Dong Ling still had Lian'er, who was originally appointed by Ji Chuhe, to be the manager.
Dong Ling felt the lady's care for her and was deeply touched.
Feng and Liao Yunfei are incompatible.
After arranging Feng in her yard, Liao Yunfei would walk around her yard.
At first, she was worried that Feng was barbaric and difficult to discipline.
Unexpectedly, this was not the case.
Feng was just a little loud sometimes, but she was decisive in her work, diligent and efficient, and stronger than the average maid. All the lifting and moving in the house was done by Feng alone.
How could the lady be willing to leave a difficult-to-discipline child in her room and let her worry about him?
She is the concubine whom the Madam loves the most!
Mrs. Feng was also very content.
She knew her own limitations. She couldn't even sew and could only do rough labor. She stayed to serve Aunt Dong, and she had no complaints at all!
Mainly her two sons, they have changed so much.
Both of them have lost some weight. Before, their faces were full of fat, but now you can see some outlines!
The appearance has changed a lot!
That day, the two of them came to see her specially. They were wearing well-fitting clothes and a pair of beautiful leather boots on their feet. They looked so beautiful!
What excited her most was that the two of them could read!
Following the madam is a hundred times, a thousand times better than following her as a mother!
"Madam Feng, can we chat for a while to kill time?"
"What does Aunt Dong want to talk about?"
"Sit down, let's talk slowly."
Feng then sat down, and Dong Ling pushed a plate of melon seeds and peanuts in front of her.
"There are some things I can't figure out. If you don't want to talk about the Liao family's private affairs, forget it."
"Auntie Dong, just ask me. There's nothing I can't tell you."
Dong Ling immediately became alert, "How did the eldest lady of the Duke's Mansion marry the eldest son? The difference in their status is too big!"
"She's so lucky! The eldest son of the Duke's Mansion went hunting and got injured. She saved him. As a result, a sudden snowstorm trapped them on the mountain. Later, people from the Duke's Mansion found the eldest son Rong who was still recovering from his injuries at the Liao family."
"A few days later, the Rong family came to propose marriage. At that time, the Liao family was not too bad. My late father-in-law was a teacher in a private school and was well respected in the local area. My eldest sister-in-law had read a little since she was young and was a famous talented woman in our area!"
"Oh, I see."
"Alas, originally, a rough country girl like me had no right to marry into the Liao family. However, I don't know whether my fate is good or bad. After marrying my husband, I have suffered for half my life! Others envy me and say that my husband is a flower stuck in a pile of cow dung! Who knows that my husband is just an embroidered pillow that looks good but is useless. He is not good at anything and is the number one laziness and gluttony!" As soon as Feng opened her mouth, she started talking.
"My late mother-in-law was a soft-hearted person. The man she gave birth to is exactly like her! Even my eldest sister-in-law, if she hadn't been lucky enough to become the first lady of the Duke's Mansion, she would have been tortured to death if she had married an ordinary person!"
"Back then, my husband married the daughter of a well-matched local gentry in a grand ceremony and gave birth to Liao Yunfei! Who would have thought that the girl might have been born with a heart disease or something, and she took medicine to nourish her body after entering the Liao family. At first, she spent her own dowry on medicine, and later, she took the Liao family's medicine. Although the Liao family is quite wealthy, they can't afford to support such a medicine jar."
"That squire gave some money at first, but later he went out to do business and moved his family away. No one knows where they moved to. The Liao family had no choice but to shoulder all the responsibility. My eldest sister-in-law was the eldest lady of the Duke's Mansion, but she didn't help her family much. Even her dowry was only given by the Duke's Mansion privately. That's why there was so much to carry! Comparing yourself with others is really frustrating!"
"The Liao family became worse and worse. Later, Liao Yunfei's mother became pregnant! Well, life became even more difficult! The Liao family also wanted to leave an heir! They took good care of her, and as a result, Liao Yunfei was born. Not long after, Liao Yunfei's mother passed away. The Liao family was completely defeated in our eyes."
"Isn't there a lady who married into the Duke's Mansion to provide support?" Dong Ling asked.
"Once a daughter is married off, she can be dumped out like water! No one else knows what her situation is like in the Duke's Mansion. We can only say that everyone has their own difficulties! The little help she gives can only ensure that her family members don't starve to death, but don't live well."
"You should blame my husband! What a spendthrift! If he could be of some use, the Liao family wouldn't have fallen to this point! Aunt Dong, think about it, just because my father could afford a sheep, half a wild boar, and 100 kilograms of rice and flour, they were willing to marry me!"
Dong Ling looked at Feng.
Indeed, this appearance is really not flattering.
Mr. Liao, on the other hand, had a good appearance and was well-mannered, like a scholar.
"I didn't understand at the time and I thought I had picked up a treasure. Unexpectedly, not long after I got married, my parents-in-law passed away one after another, and the burden of supporting the family fell on my shoulders all of a sudden! My father was a hunter, and in order to support us, he went into the woods to hunt in the winter and never came out again! My mother also died early, and my father and I depended on each other. I didn't even see him for the last time!" Feng wiped her tears and tried to hold back her emotions.
"Aunt Dong, I never like to cry. I never cried when I was going through hard times before. Why do I cry so easily now?"
