When he arrived at the outer hall in the late Qing Dynasty, Qiu's mother was arguing with Qianlan, and Bai Su stood silently aside.
"Mother Qiu, Aunt Bai Su." Late Qing Dynasty nodded to them slightly and said with a faint smile: "The young lady heard the noise outside and asked the slave to come over and see what happened."
Just as Mother Qiu was about to speak, Qianlan answered: "Sister Wan Qing, I already told you that the eldest lady is still resting, but Mother Qiu doesn't believe it."
"Mother Qiu, the eldest lady is unwell and is still resting. Today's morning class will be skipped. We have already told the master in the temple early in the morning." Wan Qing smiled brightly: "Mother Qiu was sent by the Second Lady to accompany her.
The queen of the house will naturally speak kindly to Mother Qiu, and she will never let the Second Madam blame Mother Qiu for not taking good care of her and making the eldest lady unhappy."
Such words left Mother Qiu speechless. Qianlan wanted to clap her hands and applaud Wan Qing, while silently worshiping her in her heart. She looked more and more like the eldest lady. Her speech was not tepid, but it was to the point.
Make it impossible for the other party to refute.
"What's wrong with the eldest lady?" Bai Su finally asked, "Did you catch a cold last night?"
Wan Qing turned her head and looked at Bai Su's expression carefully, trying to see something from her face. However, she found that her calm face had no emotion at all, making it impossible for her to tell whether what happened last night had anything to do with her.
"The wind suddenly picked up last night. Maybe I caught a cold. However, Qianlan has already checked it out for the young lady. It's not a serious problem. I'll just have a good rest after I get home." Wan Qing said it perfectly, and Bai Su nodded and said nothing more.
What.
Mother Qiu seemed to have discovered something. She squinted her eyes and said, "You are taking care of the eldest lady, how can you let her catch a cold? Is it because the night watchman dozed off?"
This time it was Wan Qing's turn to squint her eyes. She observed Mother Qiu's face carefully and felt excitement floating in her eyes. When she thought of something, Wan Qing asked curiously: "Is Mother Qiu feeling better today?"
Weren’t you still unable to get up yesterday?”
Mother Qiu's face changed slightly, and she said with a smile: "As you get older, there are always some problems, and they go away as quickly as they come."
Seeing the two of them doing Tai Chi, Bai Su's eyes flashed with impatience. The old lady didn't say much when she sent her to accompany her, but she knew in her heart that the old lady didn't trust the second lady, especially when she heard that the second lady sent two escorts.
The maid and Mother Qiu took care of the eldest daughter together, and she felt a little worried in her heart. The strange thing is that Mother Qiu didn't do anything in the past two days. On the contrary, she felt unwell yesterday and didn't go anywhere. The more common it is, the more aroused it is.
Bai Su's attention.
So early this morning, Mother Qiu came to look for her to accompany the eldest daughter to morning classes. She had doubts in her heart, so she came to have a look. However, she didn't expect that the eldest daughter didn't want to see people, but Mother Qiu was unreasonable.
She wanted to see the eldest lady. Such a strange situation made her heart sink slightly, fearing that something had really happened.
"Since the eldest lady is resting, let's come back later." Although Bai Su's words were a question, they were not very respectful. Although Mother Qiu is considered an old woman in the Mu Mansion, she is still a slave after all, and Bai Su's words are not very respectful.
The status of half guest and half slave is always somewhat different.
Seeing Bai Su say this, Mother Qiu immediately frowned: "The second lady ordered this old slave to accompany you to take care of the eldest lady's daily life. The eldest lady is unwell and the old slave must bear the blame. Now I don't even see the eldest lady's face.
When the time comes to go back, I will definitely be blamed by the old lady and the second lady. What’s more, I have to go back to the mansion today. If the eldest lady is really uncomfortable, I am afraid it will delay the trip. Tomorrow is the hairpin ceremony, and many dignitaries are invited to the mansion.
If we came to watch the ceremony, if we were negligent or careless at that time, it would be very inappropriate for our Mu family."
Mother Qiu's words were clear and coherent, and she was not quick or slow, which made Wan Qing look at her a few more times. Although Mother Qiu was trusted by the second wife, she was not a person who had read books. Now she could say these words like this
Okay, I'm afraid someone taught me behind the scenes.
"What Mother Qiu said is not unreasonable. Otherwise, Mother Qiu should wait here a little longer until the eldest lady wakes up." Wan Qing acquiesced to what Mother Qiu said, but secretly she was unreasonable and did not refuse.
It doesn't matter if it takes a little longer to see the eldest lady.
"That's wrong. If the young lady feels unwell, she should ask a doctor to take a look. I know that Qianlan has some medical skills, but the young lady has a precious body. How can she just look at it and pass away like this? Besides, San
Daily fasting is extremely important. As the eldest daughter, you are the direct daughter of the Mu family. How can you change the rules set by your ancestors at will? If you recommend morning classes, you must have proof, right?" Mother Qiu seemed to have changed.
Yes, he spoke eloquently.
Wan Qing frowned slightly. He didn't expect that Mother Qiu would be so difficult to deal with, but she also secretly had a suspicion in her heart. The eldest lady guessed right, there really was something wrong with Mother Qiu.
"What's going on? You've been making so much noise so early in the morning that you're not letting anyone rest?" Liu Yun was dressed in a white shirt, simple and generous yet dignified. She was really a girl who was about to have haircuts, completely different from her appearance a few months ago.
, she now has a kind of nobility that is difficult to conceal.
"Miss, why are you out?" Wan Qing hurriedly greeted her, helped her walk in and sat down, and scolded the maid who helped her over: "Miss is not in good health, why do you let her blow the air? Go and get a cloak.
come over."
It was rare to see such a stern late Qing Dynasty. Liu Yun's eyes flashed with admiration, but his face was bleak: "No need, I listened to you talking in the inner room, so I came over to see what's going on. I didn't ask you to
Are you going to come back after just saying a word to Aunt Baisu? Why does it take so long?"
As he spoke, he didn't take Mother Qiu's attention at all.
"The eldest lady's face is ugly." Bai Su looked slightly worried.
"Aunt Bai Su, don't worry, it's just that you are a bit confused about the bed. It's so quiet at night that you can't sleep well." This is the truth. Ciguang Temple is located in a remote place outside the city. During the day, there is a lot of incense and crowds of people, but at night it is very quiet.
It's quieter than anywhere else.
"Miss, I heard from people in the temple early in the morning that there was a thief last night. Are you okay, Miss?" Mother Qiu frowned worriedly, as if she was really worried.
Bai Su's eyebrows twitched and she looked at Qiu's mother suspiciously. She didn't hear a word about the burglar just now, but now she mentioned it immediately when she saw the eldest lady. I'm afraid there must be something wrong with it.
"Mother Qiu, do you really hope that something will happen to me?" Liu Yun held his forehead, with a hint of irritation in his tone: "Just such a small thing is worth your trouble and trouble to come to my place so early in the morning? Mother Qiu, you are really getting better and better as you live more.
gone back."
If you say that to Mother Qiu, she won't be able to get off the stage.
"This old slave is also worried about the eldest lady. The eldest lady must not misunderstand my good intentions." Mother Qiu bowed quickly and said.
"Yes, you are really well-intentioned. The whole plan is all on my head, Mu Liuyun." Liuyun smiled coldly and slammed the tea cup in his hand to the ground.
