Liuyun slipped into the house through the side door. When Qianlan saw her blood-stained clothes, she was so frightened that she almost screamed. If Wan Qing hadn't covered her mouth in time, Liuyun would probably have been in this embarrassing state within a moment.
The news is about to spread throughout the entire Mu Mansion.
"Miss, are you really going to worry your slave to death to be happy? You left a note and ran out alone. If there is something wrong with you outside, will you let all the slaves in this room die to apologize?"
Qianlan carefully applied medicine and bandage to Liuyun, while Wanqing kept reading beside her.
She also knew that today's actions not only made them anxious, but also saddened them. They must have thought that she didn't trust them to run out alone. In fact, this was not the case. It was because she trusted them that she could leave without any arrangements, because she knew they would.
To deal with the aftermath for her, there will never be any clues for people to catch her.
Facts have proved that her people have done a good job.
"Miss, where have you been? Where did you get injured? Also, the blood stains on your clothes are not yours. This... this is..." Qianlan frowned deeply and did not dare to continue.
"What are you thinking about? Your eldest lady will not commit murder or arson. She just met an acquaintance on the road and was injured. I sent him to the doctor. The blood is his." Liu Yun replied nonchalantly.
.
Wan Qing raised his eyes to look at Liu Yun and said indifferently, "The eldest lady is a person of her own opinion. She doesn't need to tell us slaves where she wants to go and what she wants to do."
Such a tone that was neither yin nor yang made Liu Yun burst into laughter. When Wan Qing saw her still acting like this, he glared at her fiercely.
"Okay, I know you are worried about me. Didn't I come back safe and sound? Wan Qing, how come I never knew you still have a motherly side?" Liu Yun always spared no effort in teasing Wan Qing.
When she said this, Wan Qing suddenly fell silent. After a while, Liu Yun noticed something was wrong. He looked up and saw Wan Qing's red eyes. He sighed in his heart and had to raise the white flag to surrender, "Okay, okay, I promise."
No matter where you go from now on, I will tell you in advance, okay?"
"Can't get hurt." Qianlan added.
"You can't leave us behind." Wan Qing added another sentence.
"I promise." She looked at them seriously, sweet to the bottom of her heart.
Because of the hypocrisy of Lin and Lan Xi, she dared not trust anyone easily. She secretly cultivated her own people and tried to let Mu Mansion infiltrate her people. She hoped that one day she would not be suppressed after falling out with Lin.
She was unable to fight back. She knew that many things should not be done too hastily. Mrs. Lin always had doubts about her, but she would not really deal with her. Or rather, in her eyes, there were people worth dealing with now, such as Mrs. Xia.
, such as those two young concubines.
For Lin, Liuyun will be a help, not a hindrance.
When she really discovered Liu Yun's resistance that was difficult to remove, it was already too late.
"Alright, Miss, please try not to get wet these days. If you have anything to do, just ask the servants and Wan Qing." Seeing Liu Yun's unconcerned expression, Qian Lan emphasized again, "Although they are all minor injuries, if
If you don’t take good care of it, it will leave scars.”
"I understand, Doctor Qianlan, I will stay in the house obediently and not go anywhere. That's okay, right?" She couldn't help but roll her eyes. Her master was really going back more and more, and was beaten by two little
The girl trained her all night, but she could only be obedient.
In the late Qing Dynasty, he fetched some water to wash Liuyun's face and continued to mutter, "Young lady can't recover for a few days. The day after tomorrow is the academy's poetry appreciation party. Young lady has already asked for leave from the academy for such a long time, and her health has already been well."
Now, it’s time to go to the academy.”
Speaking of the academy, the two maids looked at each other and remained silent at the same time.
They all thought about the ostracization and contempt that the eldest lady received in the academy. They naturally knew the reason why the eldest lady did not like to go to the academy, but there were many things that they, as girls, were powerless to do.
"Well, your eldest lady has changed her face. She is no longer the Mu Liuyun who allowed others to bully her before." She said it with high spirits, but Wan Qing said lukewarmly, "I have never seen a young lady being bullied before.
Bullying."
Well, this is true. Although Liu Yun’s bad grades in the academy are indeed looked down upon by many people, but they really want to bully Liu Yun in person. As for those very bitter and unpleasant sarcasm, they
The eldest lady didn't understand the meaning at all, and Wan Qing didn't know if this was considered bullying.
"Today, the man from the clothing workshop sent two sets of clothes. He said that the second lady ordered new clothes to be made for the two ladies to wear during the poetry reading party." Wan Qing said, holding them from the closet on the side.
Two sets of newly made clothes were brought out. The bright red color looked extremely dazzling under the dim light.
"Why is it red again?" Liu Yun frowned. She remembered that she had told the people at the clothing workshop that she would just give some plain clothes in the future, so why did she give them such a conspicuous red color again?
"I heard that the second lady took special care of it." Wan Qing seemed to have guessed the young lady's reaction. He smiled and put the clothes on the table casually, "But they were specially selected for the young lady."
Looking at the dazzling red color, Liu Yun suddenly thought of something. She tilted her head and was lost in thought.
In the past, she liked bright and eye-catching red, and she always wore red wherever she went. Later she went to the academy as well. The female teacher who taught them was old-fashioned and conservative. When she first met Liu Yun, she didn't like her very much. Later, she saw her every day.
She went to the academy dressed in bright red, and there was always a hint of disdain in her eyes, but she never noticed it.
"By the way, Mr. Chen from the academy, is there anyone else in the family?" This question was asked to Qianlan. She had complained to Lan Xi that Mr. Chen was extremely neglectful of her, and Lan Xi suggested that she do whatever he wanted.
Mr. Chen gave the gift, and then Liuyun asked Qianlan to find out what the gentlemen at the academy liked and send someone to deliver the gifts to Mr. Chen's home.
"Mr. Chen has an old mother who is in very poor health and has been bedridden all year round. There is no one else." Qianlan thought for a while and continued, "I heard that Mr. Chen is a widow. Her husband is very romantic and often hangs out in brothels. Later, it seems that
Something happened and he died in a brothel."
"What?" Liu Yun exclaimed, and instantly understood why he had offended Mr. Chen. Aren't most brothel women charming and eye-catching? She would like it if a young lady like her paraded around in red so immodestly.
Weird, plus she also gave her gifts, which completely completed the image of a playboy rich girl.
She smiled faintly. It seemed that Lan Xi was not as useless as she thought. At least she knew what it meant to sow discord and do what someone wanted.
"By the way, Ning Xiang wants to see the lady." In the late Qing Dynasty, when I was making the bed, I suddenly remembered that I had met Ning Xiang in the afternoon.
"Finally you want to see me." After saying that, the corners of his lips raised, and Liuyun's eyes flashed shrewdly.
