C144 The Conspiracy of the Tofu Lady

The Elementary Scholar firmly believed that Glistening Fragrance had feelings for him. It was just that she had met with some difficulty, or perhaps someone had coerced her into doing so. She had been forced to make such a choice.

He could not forget who had given him the greatest pleasure the first time, nor could he forget that he had been tied up at the entrance of the academy to feed the mosquitoes of Crab Night. And the next day, who had specially rushed over to take care of him?

She even took out her private money and gave it to him. Even his own mother wouldn't be able to do such a thing.

The more the Elementary Scholar thought about it, the more touched he felt. His mother's words made no sense. She was trying to sow discord. There must be a reason for her actions.

He had a firm conviction in his heart, so he went to look for someone else to confirm his suspicions. When he found out that Glistening Fragrance had been taken away by a foreign merchant, he felt at ease.

He felt that his thoughts were correct. Glistening Fragrance was definitely not the type of person his mother had described.

Even so, this didn't mean anything. Glistening Fragrance was still not an innocent person. The Elementary Scholar's heart had been hoping for her to appear as soon as possible to prove that she was innocent and that she wasn't suffering from an underlying disease.

Before Glistening Fragrance appeared, he would have to find Mian Niang.

The failure of this return caused tofu hyacinth to feel deeply helpless.

However, the one he hated the most was Mian Niang. If it wasn't for the fact that Mian Niang was incapable and could not keep her son's heart, how could he be bewitched by her? Even if a woman like her were to do this ten times over, she would not have minded it too much.

However, she was just like a son. No matter how much resentment she had, if she couldn't find Glistening Fragrance, she could only go and find Mian Niang.

When the Elementary Scholar had left, she had taught him, word by word, what to say and what to say when he arrived.

She didn't expect her son to disappoint her.

He couldn't do it.

The mother and son both sighed.

The tofu hyacinth asked tentatively: "Erlang, if not, why don't we find a doctor?"

"After reading it, let everyone know that I really do have a hidden disease?"

The Elementary Scholar's expression was unpleasant and he said coldly, "If that's the case, then I might as well just die. I don't have the face to meet anyone anyway."

tofu hyacinth was speechless, and she felt helpless for a moment.

A servant girl spoke out from outside the door: "Madam, the clothes Myrtle bought have been returned. He is waiting for you outside."

It was the voice of the servant, A Cai. The people in the courtyard had all been sent away by her, afraid that her son's words would spread to others. She did not expect that A Cai would actually come here just like that, and no one would stop her.

Just as tofu hyacinth was scratching her head, her daughter's matter only made her more annoyed. She immediately said: "Wait for me, wait for me to be useful?

Since the last time A Cai was punished to kneel at the edge of the bowl, sshe had always been carefully waiting upon them. Now, after hearing the words of the tofu hyacinth, he immediately asked in fear: "Since that's the case, did this servant go back to them?"

"You …" tofu hyacinth looked at his son as his mind raced. He got up from his chair, walked to the door and opened it. When A Cai heard the sound, he looked up, then quickly lowered his head.

Looking at A Cai who had her neck hung low in the courtyard. tofu hyacinth slowly opened her mouth: "A Cai, raise your head, let me see."

Hearing that, A Cai did not know what she was planning, but she did not dare disobey her orders at all. She could only obey the orders of the river crab and raised her head, but she still did not dare meet her gaze.

His eyes were focused on the side.

"She's a pretty and delicate girl."

The tone of voice of the person on the stairs made A Cai suddenly feel uneasy.

It was a pity that she didn't have the guts to ask. She could only guess in her heart what her master wanted to do.

"Alright, you go ahead and ask them if the girl has paid. If she has, then go back and forth so that I can check if there are any damages." If they haven't paid for it yet, then let them wait there and wait for the lady to come back. "

A Cai did not dare speak anymore, and immediately nodded, then left the courtyard.

tofu hyacinth looked at her figure that was leaving with small steps, and nodded slightly. However, there was still dissatisfaction in his eyes, and he despised A Cai for being imperfect.

Closing the door, he turned around and said to his son, "Erlang, marry a concubine!"

The Elementary Scholar raised his head, at a loss as to what his mother meant.

"Actually, we don't necessarily have to take a concubine. It's fine for us to take a maid in our room. Isn't it the same for the young masters of rich families?"

"Mother, you know I …"

"That's how it is. That's why we have to do it even more."

tofu hyacinth said in a low voice: "Think about it, with a concubine as your witness, the truth is better than the eloquence. What else can others say?"

"But, Mother, I …"

The Elementary Scholar found it hard to speak, but he did not know how to speak of this matter. Furthermore, he could not do it himself. How could marrying a concubine be enough to block the mouth of others?

Besides, if the other party refuses to cooperate and dares to spout nonsense instead, the gains won't make up for the losses.

He restrained himself, but in the end, he still voiced out his worries.

Originally, this kind of matter shouldn't be discussed with his mother. However, mother and son walked into a strange circle from the very start. His mother was even more nervous than he was, feeling that his son being unable to continue the family line was equivalent to becoming a trash.

tofu hyacinth had been widowed for more than ten years, and many of her effort had been spent on this son of hers. In her heart, her son was naturally perfect.

It was as if he was taking her life.

Since he had already done so in the beginning, he didn't think anything of it later on. Everything was thrown to the back of his mind because nothing was more important than passing down the family line. If he wanted to stop now, it would be impossible.

"Look, what about A Cai?"

"A Cai?"

"Yes, she looks very proper, and now she has been taught by River Crab, she's not as hard to deal with as the other maids." Yes, she looks very proper, and now she has been taught by River Crab, and she is not as hard to deal with as the other maids.

The Elementary Scholar hesitated, "I …"

"Are you still thinking about that Trembling Fragrance?"

tofu hyacinth saw his son's expression and guessed something. He immediately became angry: "If it wasn't for that little female cousin of mine, would things have ended up like this? She plotted to harm you, why are you still thinking about her? Son, wake up. If that woman really had you in her heart, how could she have left so easily?

The Elementary Scholar looked tired and hesitant. "Perhaps, our actions have made her feel cold?"

"Heart cold? What's wrong with her? If she didn't seduce you, would we even need to divorce Mian Niang? Song Zhixiao's matter is not something your sister can control, it's not like you have never seen the Prince Rong, it's not like you can't see, what kind of person is he, no matter what he wants to do, your sister can't even speak a word, he himself followed that surnamed Gu who was so close to him back then, and even if he was attacked, he can only blame himself for not seeing, and that's all bad luck, how can you blame us? "

"But …"

The Elementary Scholar was not so weak as he had been in the past; it was just that ever since the matter had been exposed, his predecessors had always felt that they were lacking in confidence.

"But what? [Where did you get all this … But, don't you think … If it wasn't so, when you brought me food and luxury, you would have called me your servant's life. She spoke as if she was willing to live in poverty with you, as if she had never lived before. If she was like Mian Niang who gets up early to work in the dark, see if she could live that kind of life. "

The Elementary Scholar could not help but argue, "Every day, she would help me with my ink and study with me. It was very late as well!"

"That's just a trick of yours, how tired can a single ink stone get? Let her try doing the jobs Mian Niang did — — "

When she mentioned Mian Niang, she was once again filled with rage. She slapped the table and cursed: "All of you are despicable!"

Outside, A Cai fearfully replied, "Madame, Myrtle has already paid the bill."

"Got it!" When he thought about the two girls that his son had experienced before, tofu hyacinth felt that he was really angry. He glared at his son, then looked at the door and muttered: "I'll go call her in. You should take a good look.

The Elementary Scholar was frightened by her decision. Looking at his mother's expression, he felt that if he dared to say a "no", he would be scolding her again. He nodded his head hesitantly.

tofu hyacinth did not take his hesitation to heart, he only felt that men would always reject such things, even if they wanted to.

Ye Zichen smiled, patted his son's shoulder and said, "Don't think too much into it, it will be fine."

He tiptoed out.

The Elementary Scholar narrowed his eyes as he looked at his mother's back. These few days, he had been living a life of luxury and luxury, allowing his mother's waist to grow a bit thicker. Even her skin looked better, and she looked a bit younger.

A mother like this should have a gentle look in her eyes, but he only saw something that made people even more afraid of his mother.

Even his little sister was like that. She was clearly dressed well and dressed beautifully, but when she saw someone, she always wanted to avoid him and not say a single word to him.

Especially since the time Mian Niang came over, he finally knew that her sister could actually be so ruthless.

But so what?

Even if Mother had become terrifying, she would still wholeheartedly think for his sake.

No matter how eccentric her little sister was, she didn't mention she wanted to kick her brother out.

Mother was right. Life was better now than it was in the past. The daily life of rice, white noodles, and fish was what he had always dreamed of. Pens, ink, paper, and money could be used to buy good food.

It was no longer like before, two eggs every morning, left by my mother on purpose. The sweet taste of her mouth made her feel like it was a form of preferential treatment.

Life like this was pretty good.

If you're not satisfied, then forget it!

As long as he could get into high school, his mother and sister would still surround him. Naturally, they would listen to everything he said.
