Prequel to the Red Chamber: I Am the Second Wife

"Go and find out where the members of the Hu family are housed, and come back to me as soon as you find out clearly." Zili instructed Zhou Rui.Zhou Rui immediately took orders and left.Every night, Zhou Rui would come to report, "Second Grandma found out. Hu Liangren's family was placed in a remote house outside the city, and few people know about it now. There should be no shortage of food and clothing, and Second Grandma is sending them to the house. Do you want to go? I heard that the husband and wife brought a child with them, not even the nanny."

Zili couldn't help sighing when he heard that, the Hu family had spent a lot of money in the weaving job, Zili could hear a lot of rumors about the Hu family's extravagant life in Jinling, and Ziqian was always a noble and noble girl.I'm afraid I feel very uncomfortable when I suddenly fell into such a situation.The Hu family only had a daughter born to Ziqian, so she was naturally doted on.Unexpectedly, the building will collapse, and she will have to endure hardships when she is still young.Zili asked Zhou Rui to send some food and clothes, and then hired an honest nanny to go outside the city to take care of Ziqian's family.

When Jia Zheng came back in the evening, Zili told her husband about her plans: "The previous things are over. I thought that if the Hu family continued to prosper, Ziqian would not be wronged. Therefore, I didn't want my parents to worry, so I just kept silent. Just pay attention to her. But now that she is in trouble, I can't ignore the brotherhood, so I ask Zhou Rui to take care of her."

"You are kind, and my father also said to see what you mean. It's just that the case of the Hu family involves a lot. Both of us are weaving. At this time, we should avoid suspicion." Jia Zheng conveyed Jia Daishan's opinion, and Zili knew that the Jia family I just want to get rid of it and I don't want to get involved.

"Don't worry, I know how to measure. And we are about to take office, I think it's better to find a home for them. This is not a place to stay for a long time." Zili and Jia Zheng discussed how to resettle Hu Liangren's family.

A few days later, several cars stopped at a remote pier outside Jinling City. Zili and Jia Zheng got out of the car, and two people got out of the car behind.It was Hu Liangren, who had lost his soul, and Ziqian, who looked indifferent.In the last car, a nanny was holding a little girl with pink make-up and jade decoration. It was their daughter Hu Yu.

Ziqian looked at his younger sister who had become a little strange, and remained silent, but Hu Liangren kept looking at Jia Zheng eagerly, hoping that Jia Zheng or Zili would suddenly say that you don't have to leave, the Hu family will be fine, your prosperity and wealth The days will continue.It's a pity that Jia Zheng was really eager to dump the Hu family immediately. The day when he took office was approaching, so he didn't want to cause trouble.After the past few days, Zili has already seen that Hu Liangren is really a cowardly person with no ideas.Now that Hu Qizhong and his wife can't run away, the dismissal and investigation are considered lucky, maybe they just lost their heads, and in the days to come, she doesn't know whether Ziqian can rely on her to live in this place, and she abandons her new lover.

"When you're in the countryside, don't show your whereabouts. Just follow the pre-made story. That nanny is an honest person. Her family members are all in my village. There shouldn't be any surprises." Zili couldn't help it. He told Ziqian to keep a low profile when he went to the countryside, and watch Hu Liangren not to let him show his feet.

Ziqian cast an angry look at Zili: "It can be seen that she has become the wife of a Jinshi. Can you become dumb if you say a word? It was fine before, but after getting married, she became long-winded, just like those provocative wives. I'm stupid. I've seen through it, what glory and wealth, what kind of love between husband and wife, and what family happiness is all bluffing!" Ziqian rolled his eyes at Zili angrily, and stretched out his arms to hug his daughter.

Hu Yugang is at an age where she can speak, she knows nothing about what happened, and she smiles innocently in her mother's arms.Looking at his daughter's smiling face, Ziqian finally calmed down.There was a hint of tenderness in her tone: "I've already felt sorry for my family members. It was my own fault, and I deserve to be punished in this world. But she is the most innocent. I don't ask for anything else, but I beg you to look at us. For the sake of being a sister, in the future you will be able to help her when you become famous." Ziqian said that he could no longer pretend to be cold and ruthless and shed tears.

Zili's heart softened, and she took out a gold-encrusted jade longevity lock and a pair of exquisite bracelets from her sleeve: "This time I got home from my mother. Although she didn't say anything, I know her name is I have the opportunity to give this to you. It can be regarded as a little love from grandma to my little granddaughter. Don't resent your parents for the past. We may not all know the situation at that time. People have a lot of helplessness in the world. "

Ziqian took a few things and wiped the tears off his face fiercely: "I don't have a home, where are my parents! I gave birth to you as my aunt for my niece, and I thank you for my Yu'er." Ziqian said He said to Hu Liangren, who was dull beside him, "Why are you still waiting to get on the boat?" Hu Liangren obediently agreed, and boarded the boat with Ziqian behind him.

Watching Ziqian's boat go away, Jia Zheng sighed and said, "That Hu Liangren didn't know what the auntie saw in him at the beginning, but he was so obedient. Since something happened at home, he should come out as a man." Running around planning, who knows that he will only cry blindly, without any ideas. I don't know if he can stand up and protect his wife and children in the future."

"Hu Qizhong's wife was born in a small family, and she has always spoiled her children. When Hu Qizhong gained power, she was naturally pampered and could have whatever she wanted. At that time, he was also a handsome and noble son, and he could speak and speak freely. My sister might have taken a fancy to him. That's it. You also said that he is a man with no opinions, and my sister also suffered a lot when living with an embroidered pillow. Now Hu Liangren has lost his energy and just dawdles. He just wants them to live in peace. I know if they have enough money in their hands. I gave it to Sister Qian, but I don’t want it.” Zili sighed and made fun of others.

"Don't worry about that. They came to Jinling because of Hu Qizhong's intention. They must have brought a lot of money. To be honest, he has made a lot of money in the weaving job, and life is always enough." Jia Zheng watched the boat sail out. It was far away, and he said to Zili: "Go back, I have to be busy packing things these days, arranging your sister's affairs, and ordering gifts for your sister. I am exhausted. I can see your face No, it’s time to go back and have a good rest. Would you like to ask the doctor to take a look?”

"No! I'm so good that I don't need a doctor!" Zili immediately raised her voice to object.She can't see a doctor the most now, and she is about to leave Jia's house. She can't lose the chain at this time.A few days ago, Zili only felt sleepy and weak, and her heart was stuffy and uncomfortable. She suddenly remembered that her menstrual delay was probably——

If she announced the news of her pregnancy at this juncture, she would definitely not be able to follow Jia Zheng to Shanyin County, but would have to stay in Jinling to give birth.Even if the child is born, she can't leave immediately.In that case, the husband and wife will be separated.The most affectionate thing is companionship, and the relationship will fade after a long time apart.At that time, there was no need for Jia's mother to push people around Jia Zheng, and many women would appear around Jia Zheng.Zili didn't want to exist as a child-bearing machine and a formal second wife.So Jia Zheng proposed to invite a doctor, and Zili immediately jumped up to object.

Jia Zheng didn't know what to do, so he could only comfort Zili's sudden excitement: "If you don't watch it, don't watch it. I'm concerned about you and ask. Why do you look like a child, and you stepped on your tail when you heard the doctor?"
