The pain in her body caused Mai Mai to toss and turn all night long, unable to sleep. When the sky turned pale, she slowly fell asleep. Unexpectedly, she was awakened by a scream.
"ah!"
The miserable sound seemed to pierce people's eardrums, and the wailing spread throughout every corner of the 'Qingwang Mansion'. Mai Mai held down his racing heart and quickly glanced at Qing'er aside. He just frowned slightly, but did not wake up. Come.
As soon as the sun rose, Aunt Zhang hurried to the woodshed and took out steamed buns, eggs and some squab wrapped in oil paper, "Miss Lan, eat quickly, I secretly hid these yesterday."
"Thank you, Aunt Zhang." Mai Mai suddenly remembered the scream in the morning and asked quickly, "Aunt Zhang, do you know what the scream in the morning was about?"
"Hey," Aunt Zhang sighed and said hesitantly, "It's... the servant who wants to bully you, he..."
Mai Mai frowned slightly, "What's wrong with him?"
"He had his hands chopped off by King Qing."
"What?!" Mai Mai's starry eyes suddenly widened, "He, why did he do this?" Didn't he hate her? Didn't he want everyone in the house to ravage her? Why did he punish that servant?
Aunt Zhang shook her head and said in confusion, "I can't figure it out either," and then said happily, "Miss Lan, King Qing has said that no one is allowed to touch you again in the future. You can relax now."
"He..." Mai Mai was shocked. She really couldn't understand what his intentions were. However, without those servants who add insult to injury, the future should be easier. As for King Qing, he can play whatever tricks he wants. Even if his head fell off, it would only have a scar as big as a bowl.
Unexpectedly, Mai Mai rested peacefully in the woodshed for three days. After the swelling on her face gradually subsided, the housekeeper appeared again. His attitude towards her was not as arrogant as before, and was much calmer. This time, he was assigned some simple and relaxed tasks. She was given a job and three meals a day were guaranteed.
Night was a warm time for Mai Mai and her younger brother. Mai Mai asked Aunt Zhang to borrow pen and paper, and used this time to teach Qing'er some knowledge. The ancient fonts were very complicated, and she couldn't write traditional Chinese characters, so she had to give up. But But she can teach him some practical mathematics, physics, chemistry and other modern sciences.
Qing'er's eyes gradually filled with admiration. His sister was so amazing. There seemed to be nothing that her sister didn't understand.
Although King Qing would still look for recommendations from time to time, Mai Mai was very satisfied with being able to recover two diseases from the execution ground. All difficulties were temporary. When she was full-fledged, she would definitely leave with her brother.
It was night, and Mai Mai had just turned off the lights and lay down when she heard a rustling outside. She sat up vigilantly and stared closely in the direction of the door.
"Jun'er, Jun'er, it's me! Open the door quickly..." There was a hoarse voice deliberately lowered outside the door.
Mai Mai suppressed her timidity and asked, "Who are you?" Who would come to the woodshed to look for her in the middle of the night? No, hearing his voice calling so intimately, it should be looking for Lan Xuanyun.
The person outside the door seemed a little anxious and knocked on the door gently. "Jun'er, I'm Bai Jian!"
Mai Mai really didn't know much about her true identity, but she couldn't deny the fact that she was Lan Xuanyun.
Slowly opening the door, before she could see the other person clearly, she was pulled into a strange embrace, "Jun'er, my Jun'er, I miss you so much..." The man buried his face in her neck and murmured Whisper.
