New widow

"We're here!" Nanny Wu's voice came from outside, and then the car curtains were raised. Nanny Wu said to Su Qiao: "Madam, since you're here, don't go down. You have to wait until the door is opened inside before you can go in. .”

When we got back here, we had to pay attention to the pomp and ceremony again. Suqiao just said yes, and Zhang Qing also jumped off the horse and came to Suqiao's car: "Ms. Kuang, I'm going back. This place is not far from my home. I'm going back." Take a look."

"Master Zhang, why don't you go in and have a cup of tea?" Song Zhen's voice was still so clear, so carefree. Zhang Qing smiled: "No need, it's different now than there."

There was melancholy in Zhang Qing's words. Song Zhen knew something was different. She really hated these rules. Song Zhen sighed, Manager Wu had already stepped forward to call the door, and soon the door opened. Seeing Manager Wu standing in front of the door, and the carriages and horses in front of the door, the guard guard hurriedly opened the door, and asked people to rush in. A message was sent inside.

Su Qiao only waited for a short while, and a group of housekeepers rushed out. The leading housekeeper came to Su Qiao with a smile: "I don't know that the third wife suddenly returned to Beijing today, and we have no preparations. Why don't you invite the third wife?" Madam, please move on. The fifth wife is waiting inside."

Aunt Wu then raised the car curtain and helped Suqiao out of the car. Suqiao looked at the leading housekeeper and smiled: "I came back suddenly this time, so I didn't tell you."

"What are you talking about, Mrs. Third? This is your home. No one dares to say no to you when you come back." The housekeeper spoke very dexterously and said to Song Zhen, "Greetings, girl."

"Get up." Song Zhen had to think for a while before she could remember those rules, those rules that made Song Zhen hate so much.

The British palace seemed to have been renovated, and there were signs of repairs in many places. The housekeeper walked with Su Qiao and said with a smile: "The fifth wife said that this house needs to be repaired from time to time to make it livable, so I found some money." , some repairs were made.”

"I see there are not as many people in the house as before." Suqiao said with a smile, and the housekeeper smiled: "There are only a few people, either old or young. Some rooms are closed. The fifth wife ordered that every time Just clean it once every ten days to avoid having too many people."

At this time, the British government is also trying to increase revenue and reduce expenditure, and most of this expenditure will be used on the child.

"I have never seen someone like you come back quietly. When the servants came to report, I thought someone had borrowed your reputation." Mrs. Song Wu's voice sounded, and Su Qiao looked up at her. , smiled and said: "If I want to come back, I will come back naturally."

"Who wants to play Zen with you?" Mrs. Song Wu said, taking the child from Aunt Su's hand: "Come, this is your mother, you should call mother."

This child is three years old this year and is no longer the child that Su Qiao still held in his arms when she left that day. Although Mrs. Song Wu said so, he still hugged Aunt Su's legs tightly and refused to let go.

"Greetings, Madam." Aunt Su pulled the child forward, with a bit of embarrassment in her smile: "This child has been with me for a long time, and sometimes he is not even willing to listen to the words of the fifth wife."

"Auntie, is this my mother?" The child had already raised his head to look at Aunt Su, his little brows furrowed tightly. Aunt Su stretched out her hand to touch his forehead: "Of course this is your mother."

"But why, a woman came that day and said that she was my biological mother." The child asked this question because he still didn't know the difference between his adopted mother and his biological mother.

Mrs. Song Wu's expression suddenly changed and she looked at the person behind her. The wet nurse hurriedly came out: "Mrs. Fifth, that day, when I went to relieve myself, who knew that person saw me and said this."

"It doesn't matter." Su Qiao already said with a smile: "Whoever raises the child will kiss whomever. If you can't even think of this, then what are you going to do with raising this child?"

"You still think clearly." Mrs. Song Wu said with a smile. Su Qiao had already reached out to stroke the child's hair and also smiled: "Besides, I don't want to hear him call me mother."

Suqiao didn't even want to call Song Zhen her mother, let alone this child. Thinking of those rumors, Mrs. Song Wu's expression changed slightly, and then Mrs. Song Wu said: "Those words, what does it say? Let's come in quickly and talk about why you came back suddenly."

At this time, Aunt Su breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that Su Qiao would not pursue the matter of the child being very close to her. For a moment, Aunt Su was really afraid that Su Qiao would order her servants to kick her out. No. Raise this child again. But after two years of getting along day and night, Aunt Su has long regarded this child as her own, so how could she be willing to leave?

Everyone took their seats, but Aunt Su stood behind Su Qiao to serve as before. Su Qiao had already said to Aunt Su: "Since we have met, you can take the child out first."

"Ordinarily, I should..." Before Aunt Su could finish her words, Su Qiao had already said with a smile: "If I really wanted you to serve me, I would take you away. Why do I still need you to serve me now?"

Aunt Su hurriedly bowed and left. After Aunt Su left, Mrs. Song Wu said to Su Qiao: "Are the rumors outside true or false? Do you know that since Mr. Kuang lost his official position and returned to the capital, he has been complaining everywhere. , saying that it was because he stopped you from seducing Mr. Su that you held a grudge and spread such rumors."

Su Qiao didn't say anything. She had nothing but resentment for her father. No, perhaps it should be said, she didn't even have resentment. This was her father, but he had no affection for her.

"Aunt Fifth, I don't know what to say about these things." Song Zhen whispered to the side. Mrs. Song Wu looked at her: "I'm not worried about her, I'm worried about you."

"Why?" Song Zhen's eyes widened, and Mrs. Song Wu said softly: "You think, there are so many people in the clan who are looking at you with eager eyes. Originally, you were far away. Now that you are back, you don't know what they will come up with. What’s the idea?”

"Are they really going to drag Aunt Kuang to Shentan?" Song Zhen blurted out this sentence, and Mrs. Song Wu couldn't help but said in surprise: "What Shentan? When has such a thing happened in our family?"

"Fifth Aunt, let me tell you, that day..." Before Song Zhen could finish her words, Su Qiao had already interrupted Song Zhen: "That's all, those things are in the past, so don't talk about it anymore."

Song Zhen bit her lower lip and Suqiao looked at her: "Besides, they didn't succeed, right?"

"But, I'm worried about you." Song Zhen only said this, and Suqiao smiled: "Instead of worrying about me, it's better for us to have a good rest. When we rest, nothing will happen."
