After that day, the second lady was imprisoned in the courtyard again. It is said that a doctor was invited to see her and he said that she was suffering from hysteria, so she just closed herself up to recuperate.
Shen Xingwan suddenly felt that the seemingly friendly Zhou family was quite interesting.
The fat cat wagged its tail and said, "Don't think about it day by day, just think about how to run."
"Fuck you." Shen Xingwan grabbed her tail, "Unless you can kill those two secret guards."
Fat Meow instantly withered, and after a while he said, "Why don't you continue to practice the incense, maybe it will be useful?"
Shen Xingwan's eyes lit up, he could give it a try.
If the talent is still there and I can create something, then it will be quite exciting to kill people invisibly.
"You were too busy before and didn't have time to tinker, but now you can't run away anyway, why not give it a try." Fat Meow gave her the book "Into Poison with Fragrance" as if he was offering a treasure.
Shen Xingwan only turned a few pages, and the familiar feeling came back immediately.
She threw it to Fat Meow and said, "Keep it away and study it carefully when I come back from visiting the doctor."
Shen Xingwan dressed up briefly and took the maid to visit Zhou Man in the yard.
"It would be bad if Miss Seven gets sick if she goes there now," Bai Ling advised.
"It's just a visit to see a patient. There are so many taboos." Shen Xingwan said softly.
Shen Xingwan came to her rescue that day, and Bai Ling doesn't dare to disobey her too much now.
As soon as Shen Xingwan arrived, she said to her grandma who came out to greet her, "I'm here to see Fourth Sister."
Grandma said respectfully, "Miss Fourth just took medicine and fell asleep."
"Oh, I'll wait for her to wake up." Shen Xingwan walked directly inside.
Grandma frowned, "Isn't this inappropriate?"
Shen Xingwan looked at her with piercing eyes, "Should I say it's appropriate, or am I saying that in the Zhou family, Miss has to listen to her servants?"
The hat was too big. Grandma took a step back, lowered her head and did not dare to speak.
Shen Xingwan told Bai Ling, "Take someone to guard the door. I want to have a good talk with Fourth Sister. I don't want to see these unruly servants getting tired and crooked."
Bai Ling responded "Yes" and said to her apologetically, "This is the temper of Miss Seven."
How dare Mammy say anything? Everyone knows that Miss Seven is about to fly up a branch and turn into a phoenix.
In the room, Zhou Man was lying on the hospital bed and was not asleep. She looked a little weak. He smiled when he saw her coming and said, "Seventh sister is here."
Shen Xingwan sat down and glanced at the maid in the room.
Zhou Man said knowingly, "Tui'er, go and guard the door."
Cui'er obediently withdrew, and suddenly there were only two sisters left in the room.
Shen Xingwan asked with concern, "Did you get sick because you were scared that night?"
"Well, too many people died." Zhou Man said softly. As a lady, this was indeed the first time for her to face such a bleak scene.
Shen Xingwan looked at the dark blue eyes under her eyes and lowered his voice, "The Second Madam is here to see me."
Zhou Man suddenly became nervous, "Mom, she didn't waste money to talk, did she?"
"No." Shen Xingwan said slowly, "She just wants me to take you to marry the regent and make you his concubine."
Zhou Man's originally pale face had the last trace of blood fade away.
"Don't listen to her nonsense."
Shen Xingwan smiled and said, "You are still the fourth young lady of the Zhou family, right? It's quite unusual for your own daughter to be your concubine."
Zhou Man lowered his head, a hint of vulnerability flashed in his eyes.
"According to the rules, if I want to marry the regent, you, as my sister, should get married first. If my sister gets married unreasonably, she will still be in the boudoir." Shen Xingwan said with a smile.
As soon as these words came out, Zhou Man, who had always been generous and calm, instantly turned red. When he raised his eyes, his eyes were full of unwillingness.
"Auntie is already looking at me." Zhou Man said with difficulty, "The person she is showing me is the sixth young master of the Qin family."
Mrs. Zhou's real name is Qin Yun, and she is the direct daughter of the Qin family.
Shen Xingwan said to her with a congratulatory look, "Mom is going to marry you back to your parents' family. It seems that I really like my sister very much."
In ancient times, it was generally considered a good marriage to marry someone back to their natal family.
Zhou Man said painfully, "I don't want to marry him. Sister, please help me and my aunt to beg for mercy, okay?"
"Why don't you want to?" Shen Xingwan asked quietly.
Zhou Man had a lot to say, but finally had some scruples, "Just think that I'm confused and talking nonsense."
Zhou Man fell on the bed dejectedly, looking resigned to his fate.
"The Second Madam was so excited that day that she almost knelt down for me in order to let me take my sister to get married." Shen Xing sighed, "It's pitiful for the hearts of parents in the world. They are already hysterical and still miss my sister."
Zhou Man couldn't bear it any longer, biting her lips, tears welling up in her eyes.
Shen Xingwan just sat there quietly, watching her cry.
Probably because her reaction was too calm, Zhou Man finally realized something was wrong. The person in front of her today was not here to visit her, but rather to test her.
This seventh sister is really hard to understand.
Zhou Man quickly burst into tears, "What did Qimei think?"
Shen Xingwan showed a satisfied smile. As expected, talking to smart people is easy, "It doesn't matter what I think. It depends on what my sister thinks."
Zhou Man fell into deep thought again, what did he think...
She doesn't know either, she is very confused right now.
Shen Xingwan didn't want an answer right away. She said, "You should recover well first. I'll come see you in two days."
Zhou Man also needs time to sort out her thoughts, she doesn't want to accept her fate.
Shen Xingwan left with an expression on his face, and Zhou Man gathered her emotions. Nanny came in to test a few words, but found nothing unusual.
As soon as he returned to the room, Shen Xingwan sent the other maids away.
Bai Ling was the only one left, and facing Shen Xingwan's scrutiny, she felt very panicked.
"Check for me about the seventh young master of the Qin family. I need to know everything about him." Shen Xingwan threatened Bai Ling with a smile, "You can definitely do it, right?"
Bai Ling gritted his teeth and said, "Miss, please don't embarrass me."
"How could it be an embarrassment?" Shen Xingwan smiled, "It would be an embarrassment if I sent you to the eldest lady."
Shen Xingwan opened the box and gave her a hundred taels of silver notes, "Don't skimp on where you should spend your money. You should support whoever is your maid, right?"
Bai Ling took the bank note with trembling hands, "I just want to live well."
Shen Xingwan promised, "Don't worry, I won't treat you badly. You are my maid. If I don't nod, no one can touch you."
At this point, Bai Ling could only take a gamble, "I will take care of things."
After everyone left, Fat Meow jumped out from under the table, "Are you trying to conquer her?"
"There is no one available, let's see her ability first." Shen Xingwan said calmly.
If you can achieve the position of a big maid, you shouldn't be too useless.
Shen Xingwan took out a book from the study room and rummaged through ancient unofficial history.
As a boudoir lady, it is normal for her to like to mix perfume and rouge. The Zhou family should satisfy her and not worry too much.
