Chapter 177 The child has read it
"Ma'am, Mother Wang is back." A little maid replied.
Madam Hou who was sitting suddenly raised her head, her voice was eager, "Send it quickly!"
Almost as soon as the words fell, Mother Wang appeared at the door, "Madam, the old slave is back."
"Ru..." Just about to ask, she frowned, "Xiang Lan."
"Yes, ma'am." Xiang Lan blessed herself and left with the maids in the room. Only then did Madam Hou look at Mama Wang, "How?" Her face had regained her composure, but her clenched fists betrayed her emotions at the moment.
"Ma'am, the woman was placed by the third master in Guanmao Lane in the east of the city. The third man entered a big house with a 'Yu House' hanging on the house. There were three maids and an old mother serving her. The old servant was afraid of attracting attention, so he didn't dare to ask more questions. , I only found out that the woman moved in a month ago, and she doesn't usually go out."
"East of the city? Sanjin's house? It's not cheap! The third child really values her." Mrs. Hou was thoughtful.
Ms. Wang nodded, "The previous owner of that house was a wealthy businessman from the south. It has been hanging for more than two years, but he didn't sell it because the asking price was too high. The old slave asked for this amount." She turned her right hand. Three times.
Fifteen thousand taels! That's really high. The third child has so much money in his hand? Madam Hou had a heart attack.
"Where's the child? Have you seen the child?" Madam Hou looked at Mama Wang.
"I see, ma'am, this old slave saw it." Madam Wang became excited.
Madam Hou couldn't help opening her eyes wide, with three-point expectation, "That child..."
Mother Wang nodded vigorously with a smile, "It belongs to the third master. As soon as the old slave saw the young master, he knew that he was the third master's flesh and blood. Madam, you didn't see that the young master's appearance was the same as the third master's when he was a child."
"Really?" Mrs. Hou couldn't help but grabbed Mama Wang's arm and asked eagerly, "Do you really look like the third child?"
"It's really carved out of the same mold as the third master. Anyone who looks at it will say that he and the third master are his own father and son. Hey, hey, the young master was born so well. The old slave has never seen such a beautiful child. Like the Bodhisattva Like the golden boy under his seat."
Mrs. Hou showed a smile on her face, "The third child was like this when he was young. Anyone who saw him said he looked like a golden boy." He looks good when he grows up, and the third child has never been disabled.
"So, the child was born to the third child?"
"I think so." Wang's mother was sure, "I hid on the side of the road and watched him quietly when he came out of the school. The young master has entered school at such a young age. With a smart face, he will definitely be with him in the future." Like the third master, he is the number one scholar and shines in the family."
She flattered her with joy, of course she also saw that woman, that figure, that appearance, so nice! No wonder the third master is obsessed with it. But there is no need to tell Madam about the woman.
Madam Hou let out a long breath, and slowly leaned back. But soon, her brows were tightly furrowed.
After the third child was born, she was naturally happy. But this kid...he's a concubine!
No way, how could her grandson be a concubine? Mrs. Hou can't wait to take the child into the mansion immediately. How can the blood of the Hou mansion be left outside?
Mrs. Hou thought of ten or eight ways in an instant. According to her intention, she still didn't want that woman to enter the mansion. She only brought the child in, made up random reasons, and raised her as a bastard. As for that woman, just give her a sum of money and let it go.
She wanted to kill her to avoid future troubles, but she couldn't. If the child knew the cause of his biological mother's death in the future, she would be divorced from the Houfu.
Take another step back and let the woman and the child enter the mansion together. The eldest son whose biological mother is still alive... will have a great impact on the marriage of the third child. If the biological mother is not around, a child of a few years old can be raised with a little effort. The biological mother is still there... This is difficult, no one has to weigh it.
However, Mrs. Hou's headache is that the third child doesn't want concubines at all, he wants to be married to a clear matchmaker, and he wants to give the child the status of the eldest son.
Would the Marquis of Wu'an Mansion be the laughing stock of Beijing?
Hou Fu's face on the one hand, and the third child's reluctance on the other, Mrs. Hou is really worried. With another son, even the eldest, she can directly make the decision. It happened to be the third child, she really didn't dare! Who knows what this evil can do?
Four years ago, she wanted to get closer, and wanted to tell him about her eldest brother's sister Xuan. The third child was not happy, so she wanted to let the two young children meet and talk, maybe they would see each other right.
She asked her nephew Cheng Geer to send a message to the third child and lead him to the grove in the backyard. Who would have thought of that evil person, that evil person pinched brother Cheng by the neck in front of Sister Xuan and pushed him into the water.
If she hadn't arrived in time, Brother Cheng would have been drowned by him. That's his own cousin, he can do such a deadly move, what else can't he do?
Sister Xuan was so frightened that she didn't dare to stay in the waiting mansion for a moment, and she fell seriously ill after returning home. Brother Cheng burned for three days. Because of this, the elder brothers and sisters-in-law have objections to her. Brother Cheng has seen the third child until now, like a mouse seeing a cat.
Mrs. Hou really dare not make her own claims.
"Go, invite Lord Hou." The son didn't teach, it's the father's fault, why should she be the only one to worry about?
Marquis Wu An is in Aunt Ding's yard, isn't it possible that Mrs. Su is pregnant? The imperial physicians all said he was a son, so could Marquis Wu'an not take it seriously? But he was a father-in-law, so he couldn't meet his daughter-in-law directly, so he had to come to Aunt Ding to inquire about the situation.
Marquis Wu An is also a fool. If you want to ask about your daughter-in-law, go to Mrs. Hou! What do you want a little wife for? Isn't this a slap in the face?
"Is there something wrong?" Marquis Wu An was a little unhappy to be invited here.
Mrs. Hou was even more unhappy, with a sullen face, "Yu Shi, that woman outside the third son five years ago, she was not dead, but was found by your son. She also gave birth to a son for the third son. Your son will be married by a medium. Say what to do?"
"Not dead? Are you sure it's the third son's son?" Marquis Wu An was shocked.
Mrs. Hou gave him an annoyed look, "If it's not the son of the third child, can this matter be brought to Master Hou?" She handled it herself, and the third child had nothing to say. It was because of it that she was afraid of it.
"Ha, the third son has a son, which is a good thing!" Marquis Wu An was overjoyed, "The child must be five years old, right? Have you seen it?"
Madam Hou lowered her eyelids, "No, Mama Wang has seen it before, and she said that she was born well, exactly the same as the third child when she was a child, with a smart face."
"Then what are you waiting for? Bring the child back, how can the blood of the Hou Mansion be left outside? The third child is also a nonsense." Marquis Wu An was even happier. The number of heirs in the mansion is too thin, and now there is another grandson. Very good.
"Where is the child's mother?" Mrs. Hou asked.
"Didn't the third one make a fuss about asking for it? Seeing from her credit for giving birth to the Hou's heir, let's bring it in." Marquis Wu'an is very confused, can't he deal with such a trivial matter?
Mrs. Hou sneered, "It's a pity that your son doesn't want to accept it now. He wants Mingmei to marry that woman."
"Nonsense!" Marquis Wu An's face sank, "Do you just let him do what he wants?"
"Otherwise?" Mrs. Hou asked back, "Don't you know the third child? Can I make the decision? Master Hou is very powerful, so he might listen to Master Hou, so please worry about this matter. I will listen to Hou Ye. Lord."
Madam Hou ran on, and quickly threw the pot over.
Marquis Wu An was choked by her so he couldn't speak, the youngest... that naughty son didn't listen to him even more. But now he can't get off the tiger, so he can only say: "I'll talk to him."
Madam Hou breathed a sigh of relief, and her voice became brisk, "I am waiting for good news from Lord Hou!"
Wu Anhou heard this, glared at her, and walked away with his hands behind his back.
Ms. Hou didn't care at all, she thought: Mother Wang said so well, is she going to see the child?
