Chapter Four
"Miss, it's my fault that I caused trouble for you." Qingdai said apologetically after she woke up.
Although she is weak, she has a calm temperament. This is the first time she has burst into tears like this. It can be seen that she is extremely guilty. She has never been in good health. This time she fell into the ice water. If Liuli hadn't saved her properly, she might not have been able to save her life.
At this time, she was lying on the bed, covered with a thick quilt. There were several hand warmers and soup pots on the bed, and there were many charcoal basins in the room. However, her face was still pale, her lips were bloodless, and she looked extremely haggard.
Liuli was wrapped in thick warm fur from head to toe and was sitting on the corner of the bed. When she saw Qingdai was about to get up, she quickly went to press her, but her clothes fell apart and she shivered from the cold. Fortunately, Qing Ning beside her had quick eyes and quick hands.
Help her hold it.
Yiqiu grabbed Qingdai, and there were only three masters and servants in the house. Ling Hongdie called Dr. Ouyang to prescribe a prescription in the small flower hall, but Weiwei didn't pay attention and probably ran to find Shui Shiqiao.
"My sister, can you just calm down?" Qing Ning felt distressed and complained, "It's already like this. If you move around again, it will make the lady worry for nothing. The lady just wrung her hair and changed into clean clothes.
I came to see you even before I drank the hot soup and medicine, but I can’t bear the cold again."
Qingdai looked at Liuli and saw that her hair was spread all over her head and there was still some moisture. Although her body was neat and tidy, her face was not as rosy and cute as usual. She felt even sadder. She turned her head and buried her face in the pillow, trying to suppress her sobs.
Liuli glared at Qing Ning angrily, and softly comforted Qingdai, "We have been together since childhood, we are called masters and servants, and we are actually sisters. As sisters, we naturally share blessings, but it is difficult to share them. Besides, don't
You only have yourself to blame, this time, you were implicated by me."
"What?" Yiqiu's pretty eyes widened.
"That person is probably going to deal with me." It had been more than half an hour since she fell into the water. Liuli thought about it and came to this conclusion, "But... she probably thinks that I won't fall into the trap easily, but you don't
We are all good-natured, so I will start with you. Do you understand? This time you are taking it on behalf of your young lady. If you are so polite, I will accompany you, right?"
Qingdai shook her head desperately, tears falling down one after another.
Liuli looked slightly cold as she thought of Qiu Shuanghua.
Regardless of whether that bitch wants her to fall into a cold pond and get sick, hurt her physically, or wants her clothes to be wet and close to her body, so that the male servants of the Water Mansion can look at her, or to attack her psychologically, in short, she has martial arts.
Since Qingdai is water-resistant, it is naturally difficult to design. And Qingdai is delicate and kind, and she is a first-class girl beside her. She is a truly considerate person. If Qingdai fell into the water, she would risk her life to save it, so she simply used this two-birds-with-one-stone strategy.
.
"Tell me first, how did you fall into the water?" Liuli faced Qingdai, her expression and voice softened, "After that, you can rest assured and recover as soon as possible. You know, although Yiqiu is capable, Qing Ning
He and Weiwei are two troublemakers with long legs. They are always running away and cannot be counted on at critical moments. We can live in this life without you in charge of the overall situation."
Qing Ning knew that the young lady was trying to comfort Qing Dai, but her tone of blaming her was still affectionate, so she was not annoyed or afraid at all. She turned her back to Liu Li, stuck out her tongue and made faces at Qing Ning, which made Qing Dai feel relaxed.
few.
"It's not a big deal!" Yiqiu also said, "Sister Qingdai, you have to work hard to keep your body strong, otherwise you won't get the wishes of the master and servant in Ju Mingtang. We can't do things that hurt relatives and make enemies happy.
.”
Qingdai nodded and said, "I did something wrong in the past, but I won't hold the lady back in the future no matter what." After thinking about it, she still couldn't help but regret, "It's Shi'er, that bitch, she said that my embroidery is good.
, asked the slave to borrow some patterns, and asked the slave to help her get some of the most popular laces in Tokyo today."
"If she asks for you, just give it to her." Qing Ning is a charcoal, and won't let anyone get angry just after saying it.
Liuli waved her hand, signaling Qingdai to continue.
Qingdai's eyebrows were furrowed tightly, and she gritted her teeth and said, "I said the same thing, there are so many things to do in Shengshengju and there are few manpower, so I really don't have time to help others. If she really wants it, she can just come and get it herself. At most, let her
Xiaowei and Xiaoru helped her, and those two girls were also very skillful with their hands. But she said that she offended the young lady last time, and she really didn’t have the shame to come to live with us. She also said that she wanted to look fancy, and that she wanted to have sex, but actually it was for
Her young lady said she was helping the master's husband...she said Miss Qiu was planning to make a robe or some sachets for the master's husband. I really don't know what kind of things men in Tokyo are used to."
"Tch!" Qing Ning couldn't help complaining, "These days, she follows her master out every day, gets involved in the Lao Shizi Charity Society, and sees not only a thousand but also eight hundred men. Those in the noble lady's house are not
Said, the streets are full of men, pretending to be pure and innocent little white flowers, and men will tremble with fear when they get close."
Although she made trouble, her words were funny. So, even though everyone was annoyed, they couldn't help but smile.
Qing Ning was crazy on her own. After receiving the implicit compliment, she immediately said energetically, "It's really true! Qiu Shuanghua still pretends to be filial and wears plain clothes when going out. Shi'er, that cheap maid, obviously doesn't dare to dress up.
It’s very beautiful, but the handkerchiefs come in all kinds of colors. I don’t know why the handkerchiefs need so many colors and patterns. No matter how beautiful they are, they can’t be used to wipe sweat and blow noses.”
"Do you know the details?" Liuli shook his head helplessly.
Qing Ning helped Liu Li wrap up her thick fur and said with a smile, "It's not that this slave likes to look at her, it's that she always puts the handkerchief on her waist, as if she's afraid that people won't see her. I think.
At the charity meeting, noble ladies always have male servants around them, or at least coachmen or something like that. It’s self-evident to whom she wants to show her appearance."
Liuli's brows jumped. The light that was inspired by Xiao Shiyi that day and flashed through her mind suddenly became concrete because of Qing Ning's words!
However, the thought only circulated in her mind, so she asked Qingdai again, "What happened next?" She was afraid that the bad girl Qing Ning would change the topic and she didn't know when she would come back.
Qiu Shuanghua has already taken action, and there is not much time left for her. If she doesn't act urgently, she will definitely be the unlucky one in the end!
"If you listen to Shi'er's meaning, if you don't help her, it's like the young lady doesn't want Qiu... to make clothes, shoes and socks for the gang leader. Although I know... I know the gang leader and the people there... it's nothing
relationship, but I am afraid that someone will use this to say that the young lady and her sister-in-law are not on good terms, which will affect the young lady's reputation and plans."
Liuli secretly sighed in her heart, Qingdai was a girl who loved her too much and thought too much about her, so she did this.
"Then I... agreed to her." Qingdai's voice became softer, obviously ashamed, "I also thought that the young lady didn't like the people and things there, and I was afraid that the young lady would be angry when she saw it. I was also afraid that other girls would talk too much.
So I didn't tell the lady, I thought I might as well go there by myself and send Shi'er away."
"She asked you to go to the pond?" Liuli squinted her eyes and understood.
She walked briskly around the garden every day at a fixed time and route. Who in the house didn't know about it? Qiu Shuanghua didn't want to really kill Qingdai and form an endless deadlock with her, so she naturally chose the time when she was exercising. Qingdai fell into the water.
, she would not hesitate to save him, so that Qingdai would not die. She would also obediently jump into the pit.
It's a pity that fate is not as good as fate. Ling Hongdie happened to be in the house and handled it properly, defeating Qiu Shuanghua's purpose of psychologically attacking her. But why did Qiu Shuanghua let her suffer physical harm? If it was to vent her anger, revenge
As for the unfinished revenge of the bitter plot, Qiu Shuanghua does not seem to be the person to take risks for such a small profit. Someone with such deep scheming must have a bigger conspiracy!
But, what is it? She fell into the water, got sick from the cold, and had a house to recuperate. What benefits could Qiu Shuanghua get? Taking the opportunity to cause trouble in the inner house of Shui Mansion? But she didn't have much control over the affairs in the manor. The main ones were
Ling Hongdie's big Buddha is holding her down! That sister needs to get anxious, not to mention the fake Fengxuhuang gang leader's wife, the gang leader is useless!
Or...thinking of this, my heart moved again.
"I sent Sister Hongdie to check. There is a thin layer of frost on the Jiuqu Bridge. During the day, it is hard to see when the water is dazzling the eyes. It was not exposed to the sun at that time, so if you step on it..."
Before Liuli could finish speaking, Qingdai nodded and said, "That's right. That bitch Shi'er asked me to go to the pond to deliver flower patterns and tied bras. I thought, she can't deal with me in broad daylight. Who would have thought
Qiu... is also there. After all, her position is there, and I have no choice but to go and pay homage. But my foot slipped..." When she talked about Qiu Shuanghua, she was always unnatural and rarely called her by her name.
That's because among all Liuli's maids, she is the most polite and kind-hearted.
"I understand." Liuli stood up, "Doctor Ouyang just said that you are weak, and I am afraid that the wind and cold will be strong, so you need to rest for some time. You can stay in the room without worries, and I will send Xiaowei to take care of you.
.As for other things...if you don't want me to be tired from taking care of you, don't worry about it, leave it all to me. Hum, we who live here will never suffer a loss and remain silent!"
Qingdai felt that she had gotten into trouble and didn't want to just throw it away. But she knew very well that the lady was right. In the end, she could only grit her teeth and nod, secretly vowing to repay the lady with her life. When the lady ignored her own safety, she jumped into the cold pond.
When he rescued her, she transferred everything she owed to Miss Huo to Miss Huo.
Liuli left Qingdai's house and returned to her own room. It was also warm here. As soon as she entered the door, she was pushed into the bed to sweat. Soon, the medicinal soup cooked according to the recipe was brought.
.As soon as I held my nose and drank it down, Shui Shiqiao arrived.
It was a very cold day, but he was so anxious that he was sweating all over.
"How are you? Does it matter?" He rushed to the bed in a few steps. If he hadn't tried hard to restrain himself, he would have almost hugged Liuli.
Why? Why did everything get out of control when we arrived in Tokyo? Why, he could no longer protect her! It wasn't like this before! At that time, she seemed to be always in his arms, without having to worry about wind and rain.
"I'm fine." Liuli shook her head, avoiding Shui Shiqiao's hot and hurt eyes, "I'm just a little cold, and I'll be fine soon. But you, you have a lot of things to do right away." Her eyes flashed, as if Can talk.
