"Master, I know you can't eat these things, but now we only have these to eat, so just make do with them for now."
Shu Mululu coughed lightly and said, "Ruliu, I really have no appetite. Just leave it alone. I will eat it when I'm hungry."
"Master, you can't go on like this." Ruliu said while caressing her chest: "You see, you have started to cough in just a few days. If you get sick, it is not a good thing, slave.
Even if I want to call you a doctor, I can't get out."
Mr. Shumulu coughed again and said with a wry smile: "Oh, even if you can go out, those imperial doctors will not come. Am I right?"
Ruliu remained silent for a while and then said: "I believe everything will be fine, so Master, please don't give up, let alone do anything wrong to yourself."
Shu Mulu looked at her for a long time, and finally reached out to take the cold bowl, and said softly: "Looking at you like this, if I don't eat, I'm afraid I will keep saying, Okay, I will eat, but the food is too cold, you
Go get me a cup of hot tea. By the way, is there any hot tea?"
Seeing that Mr. Shumulu was willing to eat, Ruliu said happily: "Yes, I have kept the hot water I brought you tightly wrapped in brocade clothes. I will pour it for you right now."
Ru Liu was about to pour water when the door was suddenly pushed open. Caixia came in with a few eunuchs. Seeing that the person who came was not Yinzhen, a trace of disappointment flashed across Shu Mululu's face, and then he said warily: "You guys come here.
do what?"
Caixia smiled maliciously and said: "Mr. Shumulu, you have been deposed as a commoner, and you should no longer have palace servants to serve you. Therefore, on the order of my master, I took Ruliu away to arrange other errands."
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Shumulu quickly put down the bowl, stood up, pulled Ruliu behind her, and said loudly: "No, Ruliu stays here voluntarily, you have no right to take her away."
"You don't have the final say whether you have authority or not." Caixia sneered, waved her hand to the eunuchs behind her and said, "Go and bring Ruliu over."
"Stop! Stop!" Seeing the eunuch walking towards her, Shumulu stepped back and screamed: "I don't allow you to take away Ruliu, no!"
There was only one Ruliu left by her side. If even Ruliu was gone, she would be left alone here, with no one around to talk to. On days like this, she just wanted to think about it.
I felt like I was going crazy.
"Mr. Shumulu, you are no longer a nobleman, so I have no choice but to say no." Caixia sneered and said again: "Bring Ruliu here quickly, the master is still waiting for his death!"
After hearing this, the eunuchs did not dare to be negligent anymore. They quickly walked over, roughly pushed Shu Mulu aside, and then dragged the struggling Ruliu out.
"No, let me go, Master! Master!" Ru Liu struggled hard, but she was just a weak woman, how could she compare to those strong eunuchs, and was forcibly dragged away.
"Ru Liu!" Mrs. Shu Mulu got up from the ground and wanted to chase after her, but was stopped by Caixia. She sneered: "Mr. Shu Mulu, please save it. The Cheng concubine's intention is not something that you, a commoner, can disobey. Just stay here."
Here, we may be able to survive for a while, otherwise we may lose our lives.”
Shu Mulu was so anxious that tears fell down. Without thinking, she knelt down in front of Caixia, pulled her clothes and said eagerly: "Aunt, I beg you, don't take away Ruliu, she is the only one left by my side.
As long as you let Ru Liu go, I will agree to whatever you want me to do."
"Really?" A weird smile appeared on Caixia's face, she bent slightly and said, "Then I want you to pretend to be a dog and call you, are you willing?"
"I do!" Mrs. Shumulu knew that Caixia was taking the opportunity to humiliate her, but she didn't care much anymore. She lay on the ground and screamed "woof", while crying, her tears kept falling to the ground.
Seeing her former favorite Shu Mulu kneeling at her feet and pretending to bark like a dog, Caixia felt indescribably happy, but she still said: "It's too gentle, I can't hear it."
"Woof! Woof!" Shumulu didn't say anything, just gritted his teeth and shouted with a louder voice.
Seeing this scene not far away, Ru Liu was heartbroken and cried: "Master, stop screaming, stop screaming!"
Mrs. Shumulu ignored Ruliu's words, and after calling out several times, she raised her face and said expectantly: "Auntie, is this okay?"
"It's not bad, but..." Caixia smiled and said, "Whether you take Ruliu with you or not is not up to me, so I still have to take Ruliu away under your command."
Mrs. Shumulu understood, stood up angrily and said: "Are you kidding me?!"
Caixia patted Shu Mulu's face and said word by word: "So what if I just play tricks on you? What can you do to me now? Don't forget that you are no longer a noble person, but a commoner waiting to die!"
After that, she ignored Mrs. Shu Mulu, turned around and said to the eunuchs who were waiting in the courtyard with Ru Liu: "Let's go, don't keep the master waiting."
Caixia did this deliberately. The deeper the stimulation, the more likely Shumulu would lose his mind and chase Shui Yixuan.
"Ru Liu!" Sure enough, Shu Mu Lu chased after her desperately. Just when Caixia was secretly happy, Ru Liu suddenly shouted: "Master, stop chasing me. Have you forgotten? You can't step out of Shui Yixuan now."
Yes, go back quickly, and even if you come out, you can't save this slave!"
Ruliu's cry was like a hammer hitting Shumulu's head hard, causing her to stop involuntarily and stand there, not knowing what to do. If she took this step, she might be killed.
But if she doesn’t step out, Ruliu will be taken away, and maybe just like Yushan, she will never be seen again. What should she do? What should she do?
"Stinky girl, who told you to talk too much!" The plan that was almost successful was ruined by Ru Liu. Caixia was so angry that she walked over and gave Ru Liu a few slaps. She struck hard and made Ru Liu
Two nosebleeds came out immediately.
Ru Liu shook her dizzy head, smiled miserably, shook her head hard at Shu Mulu who was standing there hesitantly, and signaled her not to come out.
Seeing that Ru Liu was still shaking her head at her after being beaten, Shu Mulu burst into tears and slowly slipped to the ground. She cried and said: "Ru Liu, I'm sorry for you, I'm sorry!"
Caixia waited for a long time but still did not see Shu Mulu chasing her out. Knowing that she would not fall into the trap, she left angrily, leaving Shu Mulu crying non-stop at the courtyard gate.
After a long time, Mr. Shumulu stopped crying, stood up slowly while holding the door, and then walked back to the house. There was no more willow there, only a bowl of cold rice and some pickles and radishes were placed there quietly, just like before.
Without saying a word, Mr. Shumulus picked up the cold rice and took it into his mouth one bite at a time. He didn't put down his bowl and chopsticks until all the food was finished.
She wants to live, she must live! Only by living can she make a comeback and get Ru Liu back! Cheng concubine, if you dare to kill Ru Liu, one day, I will kill you with my own hands to avenge Ru Liu!
