Chapter 121 Dreamland
The Queen Mother still had the fake ginseng on hand.
Her eyes became colder and colder: "It's such an obvious fake. The Ai family doesn't believe that Yu Qinglian, who has been the eldest wife of the Taishi Mansion for more than ten years, can't spot it."
"She actually gave it to Zhuo Xi to replenish her health. Fortunately, that girl Zhuo Xi has a filial piety and paid tribute to the Ai family. Otherwise, she would have to be grateful after eating a fake."
Aunt Guirong sighed: "The eldest lady has always had a good reputation outside. I don't know if it's because she's lost her mind or because she's just confused."
"Forget it, you go handle this matter. There are many people serving Xiaoqing, so you won't be able to find no one." The Queen Mother rubbed her brows and said, "Jiang Lie and his wife entrusted Xiaoqing to the Ai family. "
"The Ai family failed to take good care of her. From now on, we must take good care of Zhuo Xi and find a good in-law for her. We will never allow a second Shen Heshan. Otherwise, the Ai family will have no face to face them in a hundred years."
"My servant thinks that the second young lady is not as innocent as Princess Xiaoqing." Grandma Guirong considered it and said, "I will definitely not follow in the footsteps of Princess Xiaoqing."
"This is the best." The Queen Mother recalled Jing Muling's words yesterday for no reason and said, "King Yu has always been steady and has never mentioned any girl. This time it is a coincidence."
"Zhuo Xi and he are more than nine years apart, and he has praised her several times. Isn't he really attracted to Zhuo Xi?"
"The Queen Mother." Aunt Guirong paused and said: "If His Highness King Yu really likes the second lady, it can be considered a good match. Your Highness King Yu has raised her with your own hands."
"Although he spends most of his time in the army, you know your temperament and will never give up. Judging from His Highness King Yu's partial care for the second lady now, he will not fail her in the future."
The Queen Mother narrowed her eyes slightly, thought for a while, and said: "But there is a big difference in age. Besides, King Yu can't see. How does he know if Zhuo Xi is okay? Let's discuss this matter later."
Yu Qinglian couldn't sleep well in the middle of the night. She tossed and turned and couldn't close her eyes for a while.
Grandma Hua listened to the commotion and couldn't help but said: "Madam, would you like me to make a cup of soothing tea?"
"I can't stand the tone of my voice today. The Queen Mother made me copy Buddhist scriptures for a whole day because of Shen Zhuoxi's little hooves!" Yu Qinglian sat up from the couch and said angrily.
"When Shen Zhuoxi is here, the family becomes restless. I originally thought that marrying her off would be the end of the world, but now the Queen Mother has taken over the power!"
Aunt Hua rolled her eyes and said, "Actually, you don't have to worry too much. The Queen Mother has taken over the second young lady's marriage, isn't there any accident? The third young lady is an example."
"You mean." Yu Qinglian suddenly became energetic, widened her eyes and said, "Plan such a thing again?"
Aunt Hua nodded: "You ask your servants to keep an eye on her. We can't get close to her, but we also found that she often meets foreign men when she goes out, except His Highness King Yu."
"The doctor in Renxintang, the eldest son of Youxiang Mansion, and the third son of the Wu family are Wu Yong's concubines. Let's not count the others. The Wu family has a precedent, so they don't have to worry about having no place to splash. Dirty water.”
Yu Qinglian said hesitantly: "But because of Shen Jingya's incident, Xinjiao and Xinyu's reputations were damaged, and the prince's silent breakup of the engagement may be due to this reason."
"If Shen Zhuoxi loses her reputation because of this kind of thing again, won't our other girls follow suit?"
"Good madam, why can't you figure it out at the critical moment?" Aunt Hua narrowed her eyes slightly and whispered: "The premise of the matter is that it is not at the house, but anywhere outside."
"As long as the second lady is passive in this matter, it will not affect our reputation."
"Forced?" Yu Qinglian's eyes suddenly lit up: "Let the bastard of the Wu family force Shen Zhuoxi?"
"Yes." Nanny Hua continued: "There must be witnesses, preferably people with no brains."
"I'll leave this matter to you." Yu Qinglian smiled sinisterly: "I don't believe it. Even Xiaoqing is no match for me. How can a little brat defeat me?"
None of them could sleep. Shen Zhuoxi was tired all day and went to bed very early, but she had many dreams at night.
In her daze, she could always see a shadow that looked the same as her, sometimes squatting in the corner crying, sometimes saying something to her, but she couldn't hear her even if she tried to get closer, and she couldn't even see the shape of her mouth clearly.
Judging from the dilapidation of the room, it was still in the Xiaoxiang Building.
It has been a month since she was reborn in this body. At first she could still feel her original body's emotions, but now she has almost no feeling at all.
The dream this night was almost exactly the same. What did that corner represent, or did the original person have something to tell her?
The last time she woke up from the dream, it was already dawn. She couldn't sleep anymore, so she half-reclined on the couch to recharge her batteries.
It happened that Aunt Ju came over to cover Shen Zhuoxi with a quilt after getting up at night. When she saw that she was awake, she smiled and said, "I have become accustomed to it over the years. It is easy for the young lady to sleep under the quilt, so I always have to cover you."
"I just thought it was still a little cold in the morning, so I came here to take a look."
"Aunt Ju is interested." Shen Zhuoxi said with cold sweat still on her forehead.
"You're welcome, Miss." Grandma Ju poured a cup over and said, "It's just dawn, why did you wake up so early?"
"Maybe I went to bed early." Shen Zhuoxi concealed the dream and asked, "Do you remember, Grandma Ju, that when I was in Xiaoxiang Tower, I often squatted in the corner and cried?"
Aunt Ju was stunned for a moment and sighed: "Yes, the young lady couldn't speak at that time. The third young lady came to see you almost every day to make you unhappy. When you were wronged, you would squat in the corner and cry for a while, and you wouldn't Let the slave follow."
"Miss, are you remembering the past and being unable to sleep? Don't worry, the third lady has received retribution, and she will definitely not be able to do it again in the future."
Shen Zhuoxi didn't answer, stood up and dressed, and said, "Mommy, prepare a lantern. I'll go to Xiaoxiang Tower to take a look."
"It's still early, so I'll just wait until daybreak to wash up and finish breakfast before going." Aunt Ju said, "I'll go fetch water."
"No, I want to sit alone for a while." Shen Zhuoxi simply dressed and said, "Mommy, you don't need to follow me. I'll go and come back."
Only then did Grandma Ju feel something was wrong, and asked cautiously: "Miss, has something happened?"
"It's okay. I just remembered the past and couldn't sleep anymore. I wanted to take a look." Shen Zhuoxi smiled and said, "Don't worry."
At her insistence, Grandma Ju did not follow. Shen Zhuoxi carried a lantern and went to Xiaoxiang Tower.
It was still early, there was no one on the road, and Xiaoxiang Tower was remote, making it even more deserted.
Shen Zhuoxi walked to the innermost room based on her memory. The room had been emptied out long before they moved to Qingfeng Building, and she could hear the echo of her own footsteps as she walked.
She walked to the corner, squatted down and took a closer look with a lantern.
The wall is made of wood, and there are many old scratches on it, as if they were dug out by fingernails. They were probably made when the original person was squatting here and crying after being wronged and having no place to vent.
There was a mouse hole in the ground, but otherwise, nothing special.
She probably thinks too much.
Shen Zhuoxi was about to stand up when the lantern in his hand fell to the ground.
She bent down to pick it up and accidentally caught a glimpse of a glimmer of light in the mouse hole.
There's something inside!
