"Madam, I remember what you said, but what if they hit me again?" Banqin asked, kneeling on the mat and unwilling to get up.
Cheng Jiaoniang was looking at the words on the screen again, slowly describing them on the table with her hands.
"You are not from their family," she said.
Banqin was stunned for a moment before he finally understood.
"That's right, they didn't buy me. I was bought by Mrs. Zhou as a gift to my wife." She said, then smiled at Cheng Jiaoniang, "I belong to my wife!"
Seeing that she understood, Cheng Jiaoniang stopped talking.
"Then, madam, why don't you say it was you who cured the Fourth Young Master this time?" Banqin asked again.
Cheng Jiaoniang stopped, looked at Banqin, and moved her lips.
Sometimes I want to say something but can't, it's really painful.
"For now, it's better if we make small efforts." She struggled to express what she meant in the simplest words.
Banqin was a little confused.
"They don't believe it." Cheng Jiaoniang said, "It's easier to believe you than to believe me. Let them believe you first, and then take your time with the rest."
What else did Banqin want to ask? The maid waiting outside the door impatiently urged her again.
"Go ahead, I'm tired and don't want to talk." Cheng Jiaoniang said, leaning on her.
After all, my wife's health is not very good. What she said is unreasonable. If the master and his wife really come to ask, she can't explain how hard she worked, so we can wait and see. When she gets better, I can take the merit first.
Some conveniences to make their lives easier.
Banqin suddenly realized again, this is what the lady meant when she said that Xiao Gong is better now!
Follow my wife, she is getting smarter and smarter!
"Yes, I understand, madam, I'm going." She saluted happily and stood up.
Mr. Cheng has listened to Mrs. Cheng's story, but he is not very interested in the little thoughts of women in the inner house.
In his opinion, whether the girl came up with it on her own or what others told her, it was nothing more than the methods of a divine Taoist woman.
I feel that the eldest lady is making a fuss out of a molehill, or that her attitude is wrong.
Why are you being scolded and scared at the same time? You should be rewarded.
"How can such a thing be rewarded? How can it be said that this is for Shiro's benefit?" Mrs. Cheng said with a serious face, "I was deceived by others and dared to act like this. I was lucky this time, but next time if someone says...
No matter what the poison can do, she can take the poison and give it to Shiro!"
Chunlan was so frightened that she cried and kowtowed.
"I don't dare, I don't dare. I don't dare," she cried.
This sounds like the truth, but it doesn't feel right.
Mr. Cheng and Mr. Cheng frowned.
Maybe this is the so-called fallacy of women.
"How could she do that? You think too much." Mr. Cheng said.
At this time, the maid outside said that Banqin had arrived, interrupting the questioning in the room.
"This is the one..." Mr. Cheng asked. He couldn't remember the name of the fool at the moment. As an elder, it was difficult to address the fool directly in front of so many people, so he could only vaguely ask, "Girl?"
"Yes, this slave is Banqin, a sweet lady, who has met the master and his wife." Banqin said with a salute.
What she did was a squatting salute, not a kneeling salute. After the squatting salute, she knelt down and sat down.
"You are so bold!" Mrs. Cheng shouted with raised eyebrows.
Even she herself didn't know whether she meant that this girl's attitude was too bold or her actions were too bold.
But after saying this, she felt like she didn't know what to say next.
Are you so bold to harm the Fourth Young Master? No, on the contrary, he saved his life.
But this rescue was too sneaky, and as the hostess of the Cheng family, she really couldn't bear it.
"I don't dare." Banqin said.
Different from the last time, perhaps because Cheng Jiaoniang's reminder was remembered in her heart, she suddenly wasn't so afraid of the Cheng family's master and his wife.
"Did you ask Chunlan to scare the Fourth Young Master in private?" Mr. Cheng took over and asked.
"Yes." Banqin replied without hesitation, looking at Chunlan who was crying on the ground and unable to get up, "Don't blame her, I told her everything."
"There is no need for you to teach us how to do it!" Mrs. Cheng shouted coldly, "Who asked you to do this? What are you worried about?"
Banqin looked at Mrs. Cheng with a puzzled look.
"There's nothing wrong with me. I just want to save the Fourth Young Master," she said.
"You, you, why don't you come and tell me?" Mrs. Cheng asked.
"I said it, will Madam believe it?" Banqin asked, a little aggrieved.
Of course I won't believe it...
Mrs. Cheng was speechless.
"Then you instigate Chunlan in private? What do you think of the Fourth Young Master? What if there is something wrong..." she said angrily.
"No madam." Banqin smiled and waved his hand, "I have seen the symptoms of Fourth Young Master many times. In the Taoist temple, the Taoist aunts all did this. It's very simple."
Mrs. Cheng gritted her teeth and didn't know what to say.
"I originally wanted to tell the master and his wife, but you are not here in Bingzhou. I'm afraid you won't believe me when I tell you. The Fourth Young Master's illness can't be delayed. It would be better if I were in Bingzhou. When I say it's from Qingyun Temple, everyone will definitely believe it.
Yes." Banqin said, his eyes bright and his expression cheerful.
What came to her mind when she said this, she looked at Mr. Cheng Er.
"Second Master, you must know that our Qingyun Temple in Bingzhou is the best at exorcising ghosts and warding off evil spirits," she said.
Mr. Cheng Er was a bit embarrassed when he was asked.
He wished that there was no Qingyun Temple in this world, so why would he pay special attention to Qingyun Temple?
Besides, praying to gods and ghosts is something that only housewives can do. How could he, an official, pay attention to it?
He snorted and said nothing.
Looking at the little girl's expression and hearing her voice as clear as pouring beans, the originally dull atmosphere in the room became a little cheerful.
Mr. Cheng even smiled unconsciously.
"You're a brave girl. If you tell us carefully, why won't we believe you?" he said.
"Master and Madam, no matter how much you believe, you can't believe as much as Chunlan," Banqin said.
What a stupid girl in front of a fool, she can actually say such things!
Mr. Cheng and his second wife looked at Banqin with strange expressions.
Chunlan knelt on the ground and wished she could just die.
I should have known that this stupid girl was unreliable! How could she be obsessed with this?
"You..." Mrs. Cheng was about to have a seizure.
Mr. Cheng took over the conversation first.
"Why do you say that?" he asked.
"Because you are the master and the wife, you have too many things to worry about. Chunlan is different. She only has the Fourth Young Master in her eyes and heart. As long as she can save the Fourth Young Master, let alone scare her, I just want to use it.
She is willing to carve out her heart without hesitation." Banqin said seriously.
Madam has said before, this is why it is difficult to deceive the master and his wife, but it is easier to deceive the Chunlan girl who is only bound by one heart.
Chunlan didn't expect Banqin to speak for herself like this, so she fell on the ground and cried loudly in aggrievedness and joy.
Mrs. Cheng frowned, and Mr. Cheng laughed.
"A woman's words, a woman's words." He smiled, but he didn't look guilty.
"Really, sir, Banqin is right. Back in the Taoist temple, the Taoist priests and aunts treated people and hid it from the whole family. They used mashed leeks to paste the patient's mouth and nose. If this was given to the patient's family in advance,
Having said that, they absolutely refuse to believe that this can save lives." Banqin said.
Talking about this Banqin with a smile on her face, this is certainly not something Taoist priests and aunts do. Those Taoist priests know how to eat leeks, but they don’t know that leeks can cure diseases. It’s natural for a woman to know that leeks can cure diseases.
If that family knew that the woman behind the screen in the house was covering their mouth and nose with glue and almost suffocating her to death, they would have fought tooth and nail.
"The Taoist priests have said that some things are better done than said." Banqin said.
"Well said, well said."
Someone outside the door praised loudly.
"Asking about the effect, not the prescription, is the way of a great doctor!" Dr. Liao said, stroking his palms, "Wonderful, wonderful."
When did Doctor Liao come? Mr. Cheng and Mr. Cheng stood up hurriedly, then stood up and were stunned for a moment. Besides Doctor Liao, there was also a young man standing outside the hall.
This young man was sixteen or seventeen years old, wearing a dark round-neck robe, with dark complexion and strong features. He stood there with a calm expression.
Although he was young but had a coercive aura, he put his hands on his waist and held a knife in his hand, although he did not have a knife across his waist.
This posture is natural and casual, which shows that it is habitual.
This is Dr. Liao's disciple?
Disciples of doctors shouldn't have a murderous spirit.
Is that a guard? But a guard shouldn't have a noble air.
This is…
"Are you the girl my grandmother gave to the Cheng family's wife?" the young man said.
He didn't even look at the Cheng family present, but looked at Ban Qin who was sitting in the room.
Only then did Banqin turn around. She felt so dazzling at just one glance that she couldn't help but be stunned and even forgot to say anything.
The young man didn't need her to answer.
"Yes, you are fine." He nodded, looked at her with a bit of arrogance and said. (To be continued)
