Hearing the nanny's words, Yuan Yichu looked back at her, and the nanny also looked up at him, with a faint blush on her pretty face.

Yuan Yichu's eyes showed a look of innocence.

I was lying on the bedside watching this scene. When I lowered my head and saw Li'er dozing off in my arms, I hugged her and gave her a gentle jolt. The child was in a daze when she was jolted suddenly and she didn't react yet.

, he immediately pursed his lips and burst into tears.

As soon as the child cried, I immediately said: "Oh, why is the child crying?"

When the nurse heard this, she couldn't follow her out. She could only hurried back to the bed and took the swaddling clothes from my hand. Li'er burst into tears. She hurriedly coaxed her and patted the swaddling clothes gently with her hands: "Oh.

Oh, don't cry, a good girl won't cry if she doesn't cry..."

I asked: "Why did she cry suddenly?"

The nurse hurriedly said: "Maybe, maybe the child is sleepy. Let me put her to sleep."

"That's fine, you can put her to sleep here, and I'll stay with her." After that, I raised my head and said to Yuan Yichu: "Husband, you'd better go to the study, don't delay your business."

Yuan Yichu nodded, looked at us again, turned around, lifted the curtain and walked out.

Li'er was held in the nanny's arms and coaxed slowly. After a while, her crying finally subsided. She sucked her little finger and fell asleep slowly. The nanny then relaxed.

After taking a breath, I smiled and said: "Come on, take Li'er to the bed and sleep."

She nodded, carefully put the child on the bed, and patted it with her hands while humming a song. There were still a few tears on the child's face, but he was already asleep and unconscious, and his red lips were slightly curled up.

Upturned, it looks so innocent and cute.

I carefully touched her face and said softly in my heart: "I'm sorry, Li'er." Then I lowered my head and kissed her gently.

The wet nurse knelt down beside the bed, looked at the smile on my face, and said softly: "Madam, don't worry, the child is just sleepy."

"Yeah." I nodded, looked up at her, and said, "By the way, I don't know your name yet."

"Madam, just call me Liu Niang."

"Ms. Liu, you have worked so hard just now." I said, "By the way, how much do you earn per month when you come here to take care of children?"

Liu Niang said hurriedly: "There are three taels of silver a month."

"Oh." I nodded. It seemed that Yuan Yichu had quite a lot of money. Many people would have to earn three taels of silver for half a year. This Liu Niang must have been selected from thousands of people. She has beautiful appearance and is very diligent in her work, but——

I looked at the blush on her face and the faint fragrance of powder on her body, and smiled softly.

After the child fell asleep, Mrs. Liu saw that I was not in good spirits, so she went back to the house with the child in her arms.

As soon as she left, I called someone over. As expected, there were some maids and guards standing outside the house. They were also polite to me. I asked them to call Yang Yunhui. Although the maid hesitated, she went immediately.

Done.

After meeting Yang Yunhui, my energy was really low. I fell into a deep sleep for a long time. When I woke up, the maids outside the house immediately came in to help me wash and dress. I asked them to bring Li'er over and tease me.

After a while, Yang Yunhui knocked on the door and walked in.

He still had the same joking smile on his face as before. When he saw me, he raised his hands in a polite manner and said, "Madam, I have paid ten taels of silver to the wet nurse according to your instructions and sent her out of the house."<

/p>

I smiled and said, "Sorry, Mr. Yang."

In fact, I don't know what his official title is. From the previous meetings with Huang Tianba and Yao Lao, it seems that his status around Yuan Yichu is not low, so the servants and wives around him are very respectful to him. Originally,

You shouldn't approach him for this kind of thing, but he is the only one I know now, and judging from the tone of his voice, I should have been familiar with him in the past, so I can only go out of my way to trouble him.

Yang Yunhui raised his head and glanced at me, with a half-smile on his face and said, "But I don't understand very well. Didn't that nanny do a bad job?"

I shook my head: "No."

"That's——"

"She did a great job."

Yang Yunhui looked at me without saying a word, but the smile in his eyes deepened, and he said half-jokingly: "However, the nanny was also found under the order of the lord, and the lady sent her away without saying anything to the lord?"

I smiled and said: "This is originally a family matter. The Lord has serious business to attend to, so he shouldn't worry about it. It's really inappropriate to bother Lord Yang today. Please forgive me."

After I finished speaking, I nodded to him in a neither humble nor condescending manner.

This time, Yang Yunhui looked at me with a hint of astonishment in his eyes, staring blankly at me as if he was meeting me for the first time.

I looked at his appearance and said softly: "Mr. Yang?"

"..." He looked at me for a long time, and murmured as if to himself: "You - are you really, are you really you?"

"What?"

Just as I was wondering, another maid came in from outside and said respectfully: "Madam, your Excellency ordered the supper to be placed here, and asked your servant to come and ask if there is anything Madam would like to eat. Please go to the kitchen to prepare it."
p>

I smiled and shook my head and said: "Just keep it as usual, there is no need to do anything special."

"Yes."

The servant woman saluted me again, then turned and walked out. I looked back at Yang Yunhui, only to find that there was a look of understanding on his face again, as if he understood something, he looked up and down.

I thought about it and said with a smile: "No, you are still you, it's just... you don't have any scruples anymore."

The more I listened to his words, the more strange I felt. Just when I was about to ask him, he already smiled and cupped his hands at me: "I have resigned."

After saying that, he turned around and walked out.

I was lying on the bedside, somewhat understanding, but still vague. Looking at Yang Yunhui, it seemed that there were many differences between me in the past and now, but I didn't understand very well. I was thinking about Li'er in my arms.

She became lively again, grabbing my clothes with her hands, mumbling something in her mouth, playing leisurely and contentedly.

Looking at my daughter's cute appearance, all the vigilance, calculations, and scheming in my heart disappeared. I smiled, lowered my head, gently rubbed her forehead with the tip of my nose, and smiled softly.

In the evening, Yuan Yichu came back from the study and saw me sitting on the bedside playing with the children. He also came over with a smile: "Are you tired?"

"Well, I'm not tired."

I smiled and shook my head. Seeing that there was a bit of tiredness on his face, I asked someone to bring hot tea. He took a sip and rinsed it off. Then he felt better and played with the children with me. The outer room was already there.

There is a maid serving food.

While teasing the child with his fingers, he looked at me and said casually: "I heard that you dismissed the wet nurse."

"Hmm."

"How can you spend it well?"

"The smell of makeup on her body is too strong. It is best not to let such a person take care of the child. It is because of this that Li'er always cries." After saying that, I glanced at him: "Don't you smell it?"
p>

Yuan Yichu was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't expect me to ask such a question. After a while, he shook his head.

"It doesn't matter, she's just a wet nurse anyway. She can be dismissed as she wants. My husband has other things to do, so don't worry about that." I said with a smile, then I hugged Li'er and kissed him, and said, "Besides, I still want to

Only by taking Li'er by myself can we be closer to my daughter. Isn't that right? Li'er, don't you think so?"

Li'er was amused by me and giggled.

Yuan Yichu sat next to me and looked at me in concentration. There was no expression on my smiling face, as if nothing happened.

He looked at me for a while, then stood up and said, "Let's go out to eat."

The following days passed very peacefully. My body slowly recovered and improved. Soon I was able to get out of bed and walk around. Only then did I realize that I was living in a hotel in the state capital. From this point of view, I

My husband’s official position is really quite high. The officials walking back and forth all have alert looks on their faces and don’t dare to express their anger. When they see me, they all bow their heads and salute politely.

Because of this, I felt that the atmosphere in the hotel was becoming more and more depressing. I wanted to go out for a walk several times, but Yuan Yichu refused to let me go. He only said that my health was not good and there was nothing I could do. I could only read books, write and pass the time every day.

Time.

On this day, the weather was just right, so I spread out the rice paper and wrote——

Martyrs hit the jade pot, cherishing their old age.

Three cups, swords and dancing in the autumn moon, suddenly burst into tears and ripples.

At the beginning of the phoenix, he issued the edict of purple mud and paid homage to the emperor to attend the imperial banquet.

Praising the master of the Nine Levels and Ten Thousand Vehicles, mocking the virtuous and virtuous people.

Counting to the sky in exchange for flying dragons and horses, I gave you a coral white jade whip.

The world does not know Dongfang Shuo, and the Golden Gate of Dayan is an immortal.

……

When I wrote this, I stopped writing. I was staring at the still-dry words on the paper when I heard a familiar deep voice behind me: "Why don't you continue writing?"

I was startled and turned around to see Yuan Yichu walking behind me and looking at me with a smile.

I was still biting the pen holder, and I was blushing a little at this time. I smiled slightly, put the wolf hair back on the table, and said with a smile: "The next four sentences are meaningless to write."

He glanced at the poem on the paper again: "Do you like Li Bai's poems?"

"Hmm."

"I've never heard you mention it before."
