Reborn Lady's Scheming

Chapter 121 The Mute Ying Gu
After a while, Xie Wanqing gradually got used to the smell in the room, and then she bravely took a few steps forward.

But was grabbed by Xuanyuan Yu, he asked sharply: "Who are you?"

"Ah... woo..." He was answered by a creepy voice from his throat.

Xie Wanqing tugged at Xuanyuan Yu's sleeve, somewhat complaining about why he was so fierce, it was obvious that this woman had no offensive power.

Xie Wanqing knelt down by herself, and asked in an amiable and soft voice, "Can you hear us?"

Unexpectedly, the woman nodded.

Now that it is much easier to hear, Xie Wanqing continued to ask: "Are you from the Xie family?"

The woman nodded first, and then shook her head vigorously, as if she 'saw' some horrible scene, her whole body trembled, and the strange sound of "ho... woo..." came out again from her throat.

"Don't be afraid, we are not evil people." Xie Wanqing wanted to get closer, but the two black holes on the woman's face were really scary, so she gave up.

Xuanyuan Yu stepped forward and pulled the woman's arm, feeling her pulse.

After a long while, he shook his head and said: "It is said that her legs were broken and her body was seriously injured. It seems that she should die soon...but why?"

Xuanyuan Yu only said half a sentence, which aroused Xie Wanqing's curiosity even more, but after questioning him, he refused to speak, which made Xie Wanqing lose patience and ignore him.

"How long have you been here? You nod your head if it's more than ten years old, and shake your head if it's less than ten years old." Xie Wanqing asked.

The woman nodded without hesitation, my God, she has lived in this place that is not as good as a kennel for more than ten years.

Xie Wanqing's eyes were a little moist, and she asked with a trembling voice: "Senior, did people from the Xie Mansion imprison you?"

She nodded her head without hesitation, her gray hair spread out, looking particularly terrifying under the light of the fire.

At this moment, the wood in Xuanyuan Yu's hand was almost burnt out, he simply threw it on the ground, and the small earthen house fell into darkness again.

It was better in the dark, at least Xie Wanqing didn't have to look at the woman's scary face anymore.

"Who are you? What's your name?" Xuanyuan Yu asked with a frown.

He originally came to see Xie Wanqing, but he didn't expect to see her leave the room by accident, so he followed her all the way, never expecting to see such a scene.

"What kind of question are you asking, and how do you ask someone to answer it!" Xie Wanqing couldn't help being angry.

Unexpectedly, in the darkness, a hand came over unexpectedly, just in time to touch Xie Wanqing's face, and she screamed in fright: "Ah!".

The woman withdrew her hand in fright, Xie Wanqing said awkwardly: "I'm sorry, I'm timid."

The woman's hand reached out again, this time she grabbed Xie Wanqing's hand and stroked it on her palm.

"You can write?" Xie Wanqing asked in surprise.

After a while, Xie Wanqing spit out a few words out of feeling: "Your name is Ying Gu?"

"Ho...ho" came a woman's voice, it seemed that Xie Wanqing's feeling was right.

The words she kept scratching on Xie Wanqing's palm were the words Ying Gu.

"Who the hell are you? Why are you here?" Xie Wanqing then asked.

It's a pity that before Ying Gu could write on Xie Wanqing's palm, Xuanyuan Jue whispered, "Someone is here."

Xie Wanqing was startled, she stood up quickly, her head accidentally touched the roof, she gasped in pain.

Xuanyuan Yu grabbed Xie Wanqing, hugged her by the waist, breathed out her true energy, and the two of them fled away lightly like feathers.

Xuanyuan Yu galloped for a while, carried Xie Wanqing back to the Changshang Pavilion in one breath, landed directly on the roof, stepped on the tiles and walked out of the window of Xie Wanqing's boudoir.

Xie Wanqing supported the window lattice, stepped on the table, and returned to the room safely.

As soon as she entered the room, she immediately opened the door and poked her head out to look around. After confirming that everything was as usual, Xie Wanqing gently closed the door, and when she turned around, she bumped into Xuanyuan Yu.

"You...how did you come in!" Xie Wanqing asked softly.

"Holding you for so long, I'm tired, take a break!" His reason seemed very reasonable.

Xuanyuan Jue was also polite, and sat down on the stool directly, picked up the teapot on the table, poured himself a cup of herbal tea, and drank it all in one gulp.

"I've sat down on the bench and drank the tea, why don't you go?" Xie Wanqing frowned, with a displeasure on her face.

"This king finds your angry appearance...very interesting!" Xuanyuan Jue poured himself another cup of tea without any intention of leaving.

Xie Wanqing's face was full of helplessness, why does this person sometimes seem like a dog's skin plaster.

Suddenly, there was a rush of footsteps, and it was the voice of Lingshu: "Miss, are you awake?"

Xie Wanqing hurriedly agreed nervously: "Oh... I'm thirsty and drink some tea."

"Then shall I change the pot of hot tea for Miss? It will be uncomfortable if you drink it cold." Lingshu's voice came from far to near, and he was about to push the door.

Xie Wanqing hurriedly stammered and said, "I... I've already had a drink, please back off, I'm going to sleep again."

"Oh, the young lady called me for something, so I'll be outside." Hearing Xie Wanqing's voice, Lingshu always felt that he was obedient, so he couldn't rest assured for a while, so he didn't leave.

"No no no, no need, you go back to sleep!" Xie Wanqing quickly refused, if Lingshu saw that there was a man in the boudoir, even if she was covered in mouths, she would not be able to explain clearly.

Lingshu asked strangely: "Miss? What's wrong with you?"

Lingshu just wondered why the lady seemed so nervous. Just as she was about to open the door, Xie Wanqing's voice came: "I said I don't need to be on duty at night. It's so cold and dewy, why don't you go back quickly, one by one will make yourself sick." Now, do you want Miss Ben to serve you?"

Lingshu was startled, but he didn't expect that his kindness would make the young lady angry, so he quickly stopped his hands and apologized: "Miss, don't get angry, it's all the servant's fault."

"Then hurry up and go back to sleep!" Xie Wanqing's fair face was blushing, just because Xuanyuan Jue walked over and touched her face with her fingers inadvertently.

But at this time, the spirit pivot was outside, Xie Wanqing didn't dare to make any big moves, for fear that the straight-tempered spirit pivot would break in.

"Oh, I'll go back now, miss, let's sleep peacefully." The sound of Lingshu's footsteps gradually faded away, and Xie Wanqing finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Turning around and seeing Xuanyuan Jue with a hint of teasing in her eyes, she raised her phoenix eyebrows and said, "My lord, please respect yourself, isn't it a joke to behave like this?"

"Who dares to laugh at this king?" Xuanyuan Yu smiled slightly, staring at Gu Qiannuo with a bit of heat in his eyes, making her even more uncomfortable.

Probably seeing through Gu Qiannuo's embarrassment, Xuanyuan Jue stopped embarrassing her too much, and after watching her for a while, he quietly left.

Xie Wanqing was still a little worried, so she hurriedly used the window cymbals to firmly plug the window, and then fell down on the bed to rest.

In the early morning, when the sky was just getting dark, Xie Wanqing sat up and didn't sleep well all night.

Firstly, he was worried about the account books, and secondly, he was worried about Yinggu's affairs. With so many things on his mind, how could he be able to sleep.

After thinking about it over and over for a long time, I feel that the corruption of people in the backyard should be reported truthfully, so as not to encourage the unhealthy trend of servants.

Or maybe?
A thought hovered in Xie Wanqing's mind, or maybe, all this is not something that servants dare to do at all?

When she was in a daze, there was a soft call from outside the door: "But is Miss awake?" It was Su Wen's voice.

"Oh, come and help me change my clothes." Xie Wanqing responded.

Su Wen walked in with the clothes, and neatly folded them on the couch.

Xie Wanqing asked strangely: "Why did you come to help me wash this morning? Where is the spiritual pivot?"

"She said that she disturbed Miss's dream last night and made Miss unhappy. She will be ashamed to come here now. She is practicing in the back mountain by herself." Su Wen said lightly.

"Hey, this girl, I can't blame her." Xie Wanqing felt a little guilty, thinking about what she said in a hurry last night.

Under Suwen's considerate care, Xie Wanqing was dressed in pale pink floral brocade, and her small face was slightly powdered, making her look even more refined and elegant.

After she drank the mutton and millet porridge made by Su Wen, and added a crispy oil cake, she felt her whole body warmed up. Thinking that the stubborn girl Lingshu was still in the back mountain, she got up and walked towards the small kitchen.

This small kitchen is where the maid cooks her own food according to her preferences.

Thinking of the peach jelly and blood swallow soup at her father's birthday banquet the day before yesterday, the corners of her mouth turned up, and a smile hung on her lips.

Using good-quality blood swallow as the main ingredient, it took less than an hour to cook. Xie Wanqing took a sip, and the taste was simply perfect.

Just like this, I went all the way to the back mountain with the bowl in my hand, and I saw a girl in elegant clothes who danced a long sword vigorously, it was Lingshu.

When she saw Xie Wanqing coming, she quickly held her posture and wiped the sweat from her forehead, and quickly came to her and said, "Miss, it's not good for you to be a slave, I've made you unhappy, I didn't expect you to go to the back mountain It’s coming, what if it’s blown by the cold wind.”

Xie Wanqing didn't say anything, just handed over the bowl of peach jelly and blood swallow soup with both hands, and looked at the coffin with a smile.

Lingshu looked at the contents in the bowl, and naturally knew that it was a high-quality blood swallow. Each yard's share of such a precious thing is limited, and even the young lady would not be willing to eat it on weekdays.

"The eldest lady cooks this herself." Su Wen said from the side.

Seeing her not moving, Xie Wanqing picked up the spoon in the bowl, took a spoonful and fed it.

"Miss, this can't be done." Lingshu knelt down on the ground with a plop.

"I started practicing swords early in the morning, are you hungry? This peach gum blood swallow soup is a good thing, hurry up and drink it while it's hot." Xie Wanqing pursed her lips and smiled.

"Slave... slave..." Lingshu was at a loss for a moment, should he drink or not?She swallowed nervously.

Xie Wanqing corrected: "When there are no outsiders in the future, you must not be slaves and slaves. We are all sisters in our own family, so it is good to be called Lingshu, and Suwen you too."

"Also, don't just kneel and kneel like I'm a tyrant." Xie Wanqing put the bowl in Lingshu's hand.

Su Wen and Lingshu agreed together: "Yes!"

Xie Wanqing looked at Lingshu and said with a smile: "Don't be afraid, although I am the eldest lady of the Xie family, I am not unreasonable. You two have served me for many years, and the three of us have long been in love with sisters. Don't take it to heart."

Su Wen and Lingshu nodded in agreement.

It seemed that he was definitely not going to drink when he saw her, so he turned around and left, saying: "Go back to the room and drink, and make me some snacks after drinking, thank you."

Lingshu held the bowl and looked at the back of his young lady going away, a little puzzled. The young lady actually made the blood swallow with her own hands, and even gave it to me to drink, a sense of happiness rippling all over her body.

"Miss, where are we going?" Su Wen followed Xie Wanqing out of the Changshang Pavilion.

"Go and say hello to grandma." Xie Wanqing smiled.

It's bound to be a busy morning.
