In the outer room of Hou Men, she took advantage of her beauty to commit murder

Chapter 144 The Unconvinced Second Lady

Looking at Lu Qi's back as she went out, and then looking at the medicinal materials on the table, the second lady sneered and laughed, "Ha, my sister and I are indeed third-grade ladies born in an official family, but they are different from ordinary merchants like me. !”

"Look, we haven't even left the yard yet, which made my mother worried, so she sent me a lot of good tonics!"

After saying that, he glanced at the things on the table coldly. Regardless of their expressions, he waved his sleeves and went out with the maid!

Seeing the second lady who left regardless of etiquette, the eldest lady sighed, turned around and patted Ruan Yingzhen's hand gently, comforting, "Don't take her words to heart, she is just because she is the sister-in-law, but because of The reason for Emperor Gaoming’s favor is that I feel I’m just a head short of you, and I’m just not convinced!”

"She has always been hard-spoken and soft-hearted. She just talks to satisfy her cravings!"

Looking at the eldest lady who looked at her with concern, Ruan Yingzhen shook her head and smiled, "I know the second sister-in-law is a person, so I won't take it to heart!"

"That's good!" Seeing that she could adjust herself, the eldest lady nodded happily, "It will get dark today. Since you are fine, I will leave first!" She did not ask her to diagnose her pulse. Condition!

From the conversation just now, she knew that Ruan Yingzhen didn't want them to know her pulse!

But there must be a reason why you can hide it!

She just waited until she felt able to talk before telling her, so there was no rush at this moment!
Ruan Yingzhen also knew that she would not explore her situation, so the smile on her face became a little bigger. She tilted her head and looked at the sky outside through the crack of the door. When she saw that it had not snowed for a while, she breathed a sigh of relief!

Then he looked at the eldest lady and said with concern, "The weather is not right now, so I won't keep my sister-in-law around anymore. It's snowy and the road is slippery. I'll ask the maid and mother-in-law to watch your steps on the way back!"

"Okay!" The eldest lady nodded.

Ruan Yingzhen smiled, turned to look at the little maid waiting in the corner, and ordered, "Go and bring an oil lamp!"

Afraid of her delay, he warned again, "Go quickly!"

"Yes!" After receiving the order, the little maid bent her knees respectfully, lifted up her skirt and walked out quickly!
When I saw the maid going out, I thought that my sister-in-law lived in the east yard, which was far away from her west yard. The hand stove she was holding when she came was already almost cold!
Then he turned to look at the other maid and said, "Go get a hand stove filled with hot water!"

"Yes!"

"Go get two umbrellas and go quickly!"

The eldest wife and the second wife thought that Ruan Yingzhen was seriously ill and came here in a hurry. She walked in a hurry and didn't take an umbrella!
If I didn’t hold the hand stove in my hand all day long, I would probably forget about it!
Seeing Ruan Yingzhen hurriedly preparing things for her on the way back, a warm look flashed in the eldest lady's eyes.

He stood up, pulled Ruan Yingzhen back to his seat, and smiled.

"No need to work too hard, the maids will be careful and will be ready!"

"But..." Ruan Yingzhen was a little worried, "They are not as careful as I am!"

The eldest lady shook her head in disapproval, "If you have to prepare everything, what do you need a maid to do?"

"That's right, Third Madam, just sit down. Grandma Fang has already gone to prepare the things to go back. Although she is not as careful as you, Third Madam, we still need to give her a chance to show off. After all, she is quite experienced!" Yunhe, who had been standing behind the eldest lady and waiting silently, smiled and said, "If you do everything, madam will blame us slaves and maids for being useless!"

"I want to stay in the Duke's Mansion and stay by Madam's side to serve her. What if Madam doesn't want me anymore, so the Third Madam is kind-hearted and just watches from the sidelines!"

Seeing Yunhe looking at her with a troubled expression, as if he didn't know what to do with her, Ruan Yingzhen couldn't help but laugh, and said repeatedly, "You girl, you really have all the good and bad things you can say!"

As he said that, he turned to look at the eldest lady, "Since you all dislike me, then I will quit and just sit down!"

After saying that, he picked up the hot tea on the table, glanced sideways at the eldest lady, and said arrogantly, "Look, I don't have to worry about it anymore." As he said that, he felt that something was not right, and he couldn't help laughing. come out!

"Hahaha!"

……

Fushouyuan.

As soon as Lu Qi and the little maids walked into the yard, a little maid saw her, her eyes lit up and she hurried over.

Cheering, "Sister Luqi, are you back?"

Seeing the little maid running towards her, Lu Qi did not show a smile, frowned and shouted, "What are you doing in a panic?"

"If you disturb the peace of the old lady, I will skin you if you don't carefully!"

In order not to disturb the old lady in the room, she deliberately lowered her voice!
Lu Qi's head-on blow made the little maid wake up instantly, knowing that she was indeed too excited and had broken the rules.

He pursed his lips, squatted down reluctantly, and apologized in a low voice, "I was wrong!"

"Okay, be more careful next time!" Seeing her lowering her head and admitting her mistake, Lu Qi's eyes flashed with satisfaction, showing a childlike expression.

Then he asked, "Why are you calling me?"

When she was reminded like this, the little maid was stunned for a moment, then came to her senses, hit her head hard, and said quickly, "Oh, this slave is really dizzy!"

"The old lady hasn't taken a nap yet. She said she would wait for you to come back before sleeping, but she is still waiting for you in the house!"

"Mama Zhou also told the slave to come into the house as soon as you come back!"

Since the old lady got older, she has started to recognize the bed, and she still feels shallow!
As long as the time is wrong, it is easy to fall asleep!

As her personal maid, Aunt Zhou had served her for most of her life, so she was naturally worried about her health.

I want to persuade her to rest for a while, and then call out when Lu Qi comes back!

But the old lady was stubborn and wanted to wait for Lu Qi to come back before going to sleep. Grandma Zhou had no choice but to let the little maid stay outside to watch Lu Qi come back!
Hearing her words, Lu Qi glanced at her and said, "Okay, I understand, you go ahead and do your work first, don't be lazy!" But she saw this girl was lazing around in the corner admiring the flowers when she came in. !
Otherwise, how could I have seen her as soon as she came in!

If the old lady didn't like to see young and lively people as she got older, she would have given her a severe punishment and then thrown her out of the yard.

Not to mention leaving her in the yard to serve the old lady!

Listening to her words, the little maid knew that she had seen her hiding, she trembled subconsciously and lowered her head, "Yes, I know!"

Lu Qi didn't care about her. She stuffed the handkerchief into her arms and took out a clean one. Then she opened the door of the main room and walked in lightly!

She has also served the old lady for more than ten years. Knowing her physical condition, she naturally did not dare to delay!
