The High Gate Mistress of Rebirth

The next day, after breakfast, Dong Qing went to each house to see the resettlement situation of each family. However, she was stayed by an old friend for the rest of the day. After dinner, Dong Qing returned.

It was already dark, so she returned to the mansion and asked Pingzhou who was guarding the door: "Is the eldest son back yet?"

Pingzhou replied: "The eldest son has returned."

Just as Dong Qing was about to walk in, Pingzhou stepped forward and whispered: "Young madam, Qingluo and Sister Shishu got into a fight today."

Dong Qing was surprised: "A fight started? What happened?"

Pingzhou quickly replied: "I don't know the specifics. Anyway, the two of them started arguing in the yard, and in the end, they actually fought together."

I was afraid that Qingluo would provoke me again, so I couldn't hold back my anger.

Hearing this, Dong Qing hurriedly walked to the inner courtyard. When he entered the house, he didn't see the attendant. He only saw Li Kun sitting alone in the house with a cold face.

Dong Qing closed the door, walked to the case and lit a candle, turned to Li Kun and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

Li Kun sighed slightly and asked back: "Today, while you were away, the servant beside you beat Qingluo. Do you know about this?"

Dong Qing didn't know what her husband meant by "knowing", but hearing his tone, she was a little dissatisfied.

She replied: "I only found out about this when I heard Pingzhou talk about it when I came in."

"Were they beaten hard? But were they injured?" Dong Qing asked.

Qingluo can ride and shoot, and is naturally stronger than ordinary women. The servant is a weak woman, and she is slender. Dongqing doesn't think she is Qingluo's opponent.

She asked this, feeling anxious for her maid.

Li Kun raised his eyes to look at Dong Qing and replied: "Qing Luo was injured on the face. Although it was not serious, a girl was scratched on the face."

He paused, frowned, and considered: "I know Qingluo is a bit domineering, but she saved my life anyway, and in order to save me, her grandfather who depended on her also unfortunately fell off the cliff and died. I feel sorry for her I feel guilty, so I hope you can treat Qingluo kindly."

After Dong Qing heard this, she calmly replied: "Although I don't like her, I did not treat her harshly, nor did I instruct my maid to beat her. You should believe me."

Li Kun replied: "It's not that I don't believe you, it's just that the servant is your maid, and you must at least restrain yourself."

Seeing that her wife's face turned cold, she softened her tone and comforted her: "I know that you are very unhappy because of Qingluo, but I can't do anything to her. If an unrelated person treats me like this, I will I drove her away a long time ago, but I owe her a lot, so I can't ignore her."

He looked at his wife and continued: "I have found a safe home for her. General Chen's wife, Xia, is a cousin of mine. Xia is kind-hearted and righteous. I went to tell her a few days ago. , after we left, I wanted to ask her to help take care of Qingluo, and she agreed, saying that she was willing to recognize her as my adopted sister and find a good match for her in the future."

Since he had already thought out his future plans for Qing Luo, why did he tell her now?
Could it be that he was afraid that he would be detrimental to Qingluo?

He didn't want to tell her at first, but today her maid beat the green radish, so he was worried, so he told her.

At this moment, Dong Qing couldn't help but have a lot of doubts in her heart. She also knew that she should trust Li Kun wholeheartedly, but maybe emotional matters were so sensitive. The woman who was obsessed with her husband and was kind to him, After all, it's like a thorn lying between the couple, pricking someone from time to time. "I'll go check out the waiter's book first."

With that said, Dong Qing put on her cloak again, turned around and went out.

The servant's room was in a side room, next to the main room. Dong Qing entered the room and saw that the servant was applying medicine carefully in front of the mirror. She hurriedly stepped forward, pulled her over, and said with concern: "I'm hurt." where?"

The servant grinned and replied: "I'm fine, she just scratched my face." After saying that, he pointed to his lower back and said: "And here, when I was fighting with her, I hit the corner of the wall. .”

Dong Qing saw that there were several red marks on Shi Shu's face, and opened her clothes again. Seeing that her lower back was swollen, Dong Qing felt distressed and said, "Tell me, why do you want to fight with her?" ? She is skilled in bow and horse, and she looks like she is very strong. How can you be her opponent?"

Shishu has followed her since she was a child. Although the two are master and servant, they have a sister-like friendship.

"It's okay to be beaten a few times by her." As she said that, she glanced at her master's face and said, "The eldest son doesn't blame you for this. After all, he is his savior."

Dong Qing looked up at the servant and asked, "What? When I didn't come back, did he scold you for this?"

The servant hurriedly shook his head and said: "That's not true. The eldest young master hadn't returned yet when we fought so hard. Later, I was pulled away by the ladies, so I went back to my house."

As she said that, she winked at Dong Qing and said, "I beat the young master's benefactor, but you were not here. How could I dare to seek bad luck in front of the young master? I am not stupid."

Dong Qing took the ointment, carefully applied it on the injured face, and replied: "You are mine. No one but me dares to do anything to you. But, you are right, that Qing Qing Although Luo is annoying, she is my husband's benefactor after all. If you don't like her, don't argue with her in the future, just stay away from her."

The servant said angrily: "I just can't stand the shamelessness of her being sandwiched between you and the young master. I heard from the mother-in-law who was serving her that she went on a hunger strike to coax the young master away that day, and even encouraged him to stay here. , what else are you talking about, asking you to go back to Beijing to be your noble lady, and she will stay here to accompany the young master, bah! How shameless!"

Dong Qing said: "If my husband can't let go of me, it will be useless no matter how much she tries to persuade me."

"But, with her pestering the young master like this, what if she follows us after we return to Beijing? She has saved the young master before, but now she is alone and helpless. If she cries and makes trouble, there is no guarantee that the young master will be soft-hearted." Shi Shu Worried.

Dong Qing has naturally thought about these things.

She patted the waiter on the shoulder and said, "Lie down and I'll apply some medicine to your lower back."

The servant lay down obediently, but still asked uneasily: "Madam, have you come up with any ideas? That Qingluo is a disaster. She is so difficult to deal with, what should I do?"

Dong Qing applied ointment to the servant bit by bit and replied: "Ping An found out something about her."

As soon as Dong Qing said these words, Shi Shu immediately turned around and touched the wound. She grinned in pain and asked anxiously: "What did Ping An find out?"

Dong Qing said: "She is indeed not the child of the Orion family. As for the other things, Ping An is still investigating, and there is no news yet."

After saying that, he also told the servant: "This matter is kept confidential. Don't reveal it. From now on, don't argue with the servant again."
