Three Kingdoms: Madam, I am a decent person

Chapter 57: Madam’s Fragility

After the lady promised Zhang Sui and Hongyu their marriage, she waved her hand and said, "Bocheng, Hongyu, go and do your work! If there is anything, I will send someone to tell you."

Hongyu and Zhang Sui then left.

As soon as the two of them left the study, Zhang Sui was about to follow Hongyu.

Hongyu walked away quickly.

Zhang Sui wanted to follow.

Hongyu continued to walk quickly with her head down, and said hurriedly: "Don't follow me, otherwise, I will be angry."

Zhang Sui looked at Hongyu fleeing in panic and laughed.

This chick.

At this time, do you feel shy?
What's the use of being shy?

Sooner or later you will fall into my clutches!

Watching Hongyu leave, Zhang Sui stood where he was and did not follow her.

Not as good as that anyway.

Hongyu didn't stop until she reached the corner.

Peek around the corner and look into the distance.

Seeing that Zhang Sui actually did not catch up with her, but turned around and left, a hint of disappointment flashed across Hongyu's pretty face.

If you tell him not to follow, he will really not follow!
If I tell him not to touch me during the wedding night, will he be so obedient?
Why are you so honest?

Looking at his usual lecherous appearance, he clearly doesn't look like that!

Hongyu looked suspicious.

Man, it's hard to understand.

Maybe, after getting married, we will gradually understand each other!
After Zhang Sui and Hongyu left, the housekeeper had not left yet.

Seeing his wife busy dealing with the bills, the butler sighed.

Madam raised her head and smiled in confusion, "What's going on? Is the housekeeper planning to take a concubine? Which of the maids do you like? As long as she doesn't object, I'll grant your wish."

The housekeeper shook his head and said, "Madam, I am grateful for your grace."

"But my old bones can't bear it any more."

"It is not I who sigh, but my lady."

The lady was puzzled and asked, "What do you mean?"

The housekeeper said: "Although the Madam has given birth to several sons and daughters, she is still very young."

"If you don't know Madam's true identity, you might mistakenly think that Madam is the elder sister of the Second Miss and the Chief Reporter."

The lady smiled.

Although she has been a wife for more than ten years.

But as a woman, how could I not like words of praise from others?
The lady said, "You are too kind. I am really old."

"The eldest daughter already has a child."

"My second daughter is also old enough to get married."

"I'm old enough to be a grandmother."

The housekeeper said: "That's true, but the lady does look young."

"Besides, the lady has always been beautiful."

"Now the Second Young Master has grown up, and the Young Madam is pregnant."

"Ma'am, sometimes you have to plan for yourself."

“Life is still long.”

"Seeing the affection between the chief secretary and Hongyu, it's not that I like to meddle in other people's business, but I really feel it's unfair for the lady."

The lady raised her head, looked at the flowers and plants outside, and sighed softly.

The current housekeeper has been in place since she first married into the Zhen family.

When her late husband was alive, the housekeeper took care of the Zhen family like an elder.

More than once, my late husband said that the housekeeper was like an old father, and if you have any difficulties, just discuss them with the housekeeper.

She has experienced this deeply over the years.

In the eyes of the butler, I am probably like his daughter.

Now that he could say such words, she was not angry. In fact, she felt a little aggrieved and wanted to cry.

After her husband passed away, she, as a woman, supported the Zhen family. She had never dared to imagine the hardships involved.

Thinking back to the time when she had not yet married into the Zhen family, she was also a girl like Hongyu, shy and at a loss.

But over the years, every time she felt lonely and helpless and wanted to seek the support of a gentle and solid chest, she could only despair.

In the days and nights of despair and helplessness, she slowly armed herself into a strong and cold woman.

Today, although the second son has grown up, his abilities are too mediocre and he cannot support the entire Zhen family.

Give power to the second son and then find someone to remarry?

I’m afraid the Zhen family would have collapsed long ago.

Putting aside the collapse of the Zhen family, he still had three sons and several little daughters.

As a mother, how could she bear to watch these children suffer?

The lady smiled self-deprecatingly, lowered her head and continued to deal with the bills, saying, "Yan'er is not capable enough."

"If I remarry, the Zhen family will be completely destroyed."

"What about the kids?"

"What should we do with so many servants in the Zhen family?"

"I am old now and no longer need a man to protect me from the wind and rain."

"Bite your teeth, and this life will pass."

"What are you still thinking about for the rest of your life?"

When the housekeeper heard what his wife said, his expression became somewhat gloomy.

Poor lady.

He wanted to say something, but in the end he could only remain silent.

Although he treated his wife like his daughter, they were master and servant after all, and they still needed to observe the boundaries.

The butler bowed to the lady and said in a hoarse voice, "Then madam, I will leave."

The lady hummed and ignored the housekeeper.

It was not until the butler's footsteps disappeared in the distance that the lady lay down on the table and buried her face in her arms.

Tears rolled down like beads from a broken string and dripped onto the table.

What I just said was only meant for outsiders to hear.

As the pillar of the Zhen family, how could she dare to say that she wanted to remarry? How could she dare to say that she was lonely day and night and wanted a man to hold her in his arms, give her tenderness, and give her desire?

Even if it was a housekeeper who was like her old father, she didn't dare to say it.

Every time she saw the male servants and maids in the mansion interacting with each other and their ambiguous looks, she felt more uncomfortable than anyone else.

But what can be done?

When will my son be able to support the Zhen family? When will people be able to rest assured?
Every time she saw her second son's timid expression, she wanted to open his brain and see what was inside.

She really wanted to say, I am a woman, how long should I take care of you?
I am a woman just like your wife!
I also need the warmth of a man!

I also need to find someone who can hug me and listen to me talk about my grievances.

After crying silently for a long time, the lady wiped her tears and continued to approve the bills with red and swollen eyes.

It's better to cry.

Unless he doesn't care about the life and death of his youngest son and daughters.

Unless you don't care about all the mouths in the Zhen family.

Otherwise, no matter how sad you are, you have to force yourself to cheer up and keep going.

This is probably fate!
What the lady didn't know was that while she was crying, the second lady Zhen Mi had already appeared beside the wooden wall outside the threshold.

She was about to go in and report to her mother: she was going to stop going to the private school.

She planned to help her mother deal with household affairs before she left the Zhen family, and then wait for the right person to propose marriage, or find a man to marry into the family, or even marry into the Yuan family in place of her mother.

But just as I was about to go in, I saw my mother bent over her desk, her body shaking like a sieve.

The second lady Zhen Mi retreated again and stood there motionless.

She didn't dare go in.

I dare not expose my mother's vulnerable side.
