The Remnant King's Royal Pet: The Secret Service Medical Concubine

Chapter 24 If You Don't Tell, Who Knows

Jingshou Hall is at the best location in Mu Mansion. It is spacious and sunny during the day. It is located in the southernmost part of Mu Mansion.

But her small courtyard is the northernmost courtyard in the mansion. It is cold and humid, and no one has cleaned it all year round. In the courtyard, there are even piles of dead grass that has been placed for an unknown number of years.

The surrounding yards are used by servant girls to live in, and there are people coming and going around the yard, which is quite lively.

Compared with this Jingshoutang, Mu Chu can only sigh in his heart.

Led by Lan Gu into the gate of Jingshou Hall, several little maids stood on both sides and saluted her slightly, but the expressions on their faces were full of inquiry.

I'm afraid the original owner's weakness and incompetence are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, even the maids around the old lady usually look down on her.

"Second Miss, wait a moment, the servant girl will go in and report to the old lady!"

Mu Chu nodded, and stood at the door with a straight figure, his eyes were as bright as the moon.

The maids on both sides have been looking at her, with a little confusion in their eyes.

Mu Chu ignored their thoughts, and stood motionless in front of the door until the servant girl from inside came out and opened the door.

Lan Gu's eyes flickered slightly, and she smiled and led the way ahead.

Originally, in her capacity, she could bring Mu Chu into the door directly, but it was just to make her wait outside the door on purpose.

Mu Chu knew it in his heart, but he didn't feel anything, and there was no sign of dissatisfaction on his face.

Lan Gu was slightly judging the second young lady in front of her, she led the way calmly, her steps were not too fast or slow.

Led by Lan Gu, Mu Chu entered the yard, and saw that there was only one person on the path around her. She took two steps forward and stuffed the ten taels of silver in Lan Gu's palm.

"Gu Lan, please speak a few words for Chu'er in front of the old lady for a while!"

Mu Chu raised his eyes and looked at Lan Gu for a while.

Lan Gu froze for a moment, quietly put the silver in her arms, and the smile on the corner of her mouth became wider.

"Second Miss, don't worry, Lan Gu understands!"

She patted Mu Chu's hand, showing a reassuring smile, and Mu Chu's eyes flashed, with a look of gratitude on his face: "It's really troublesome Aunt Lan!"

Lan Gu smiled: "No trouble, no trouble, it's only natural for slaves to do this!"

Lan Gu, who was still a little distant from him, showed a very enthusiastic smile, as if he was very satisfied with Mu Chu's sudden understanding of the world.

You know, the maids here only have two taels of silver a month, and her close-fitting maid is only a little higher than the average maid, and now she has an extra ten taels of silver out of thin air. Mu Chu said a little more.

"When the second lady enters the door, remember that the old lady doesn't like others to contradict her. Don't touch the old lady's scales. The old lady likes the bird's nest of Yuyangxuan the most. If the second lady comes over next time, I can bring a little..."

As Lan Gu walked, she chatted casually, and Mu Chu memorized all these words in her heart. She would definitely make full use of the news that she bought for ten taels of silver.

The door of Jingshou Hall was open, and from a distance, Mu Chu heard a faint coughing sound inside, her ears moved slightly, and a bright color flashed across her eyes: "Aunt Lan, what's wrong with the old lady?"

Aunt Lan sighed.Deliberately getting close to Mu Chu: "The old madam has been suffering from coughing and wheezing for many years, and it has never been effective!"

Mu Chu knew it well, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly.

With her head slightly lowered, she followed Lan Gu into the gate, and from the corner of her eye, she looked at the old lady above.

The old lady was wearing a satin skirt with dark flowers and silk, and a simple hosta on her head combed her hair meticulously. With a well-maintained face, it could not be seen that the old man in front of her was over sixty years old.

Although there were already wrinkles at the corners of the eyes, and it was night again, the old lady's face was still covered with light makeup.

The old lady's nails on her legs were carefully manicured, round and neat, and there was no wrinkle on the skirt. At a glance, one could tell that she must have been a lady who abided by etiquette when she was young.

Such people have very high requirements for etiquette, and they are people who like face.

Of course, Mu Chu couldn't deduct her impression points as soon as she entered the door. In her mind, she thought about the gestures of those people saluting the elders, and then she bent slightly in a standard and natural way.

"Chu'er has seen the old lady!"

Seeing Mu Chu's movements, the old lady finally showed a hint of expression on her face. She waved her hand and asked the maid beside her to bring over a chair.

"You're welcome, just sit down!"

Mu Chu sat on the chair obediently, with his hands on his knees, his whole body tensed and restrained.

The old lady turned her head slightly and looked Mu Chu up and down.

"Old man, I heard that you made a big fuss about your wedding with King Li in public, huh?"

Mu Chu's face froze, and his heart skipped a beat.

She thought that the old lady came here because of what she said during the day, it seems that there is another reason for it.

But now that she has come, she does not intend to return empty-handed, and if there is no one to back her in this mansion, she will not be able to stay any longer.

"Yes!"

She cut a word short and forcefully, and after seeing the anger in the old lady's eyes, she immediately continued, "But Chu'er has some unavoidable difficulties!"

The old lady's face was cold and solemn, with a bit of indifference: "What are your difficulties, please talk to the old man?"

Mu Chu filtered the words in his mind a few times, stood up, and said slowly with a serious face: "Old lady, the queen mother gave Chu'er the official concubine of His Royal Highness Prince Li at the time, but now the mother is on the spot at the wedding. Swapping Chu'er and Xue'er's younger sister is a deception!"

The old lady's eyes were condensed: "If you don't tell me, who would know about it?"

After hearing this, Mu Chu felt icy cold in his heart, no wonder the original owner was so desperate, it turned out that this old lady was not a kind person at all.

That's right, if she was kind, why did she sit on the sidelines and didn't even extend her hand when she knew that her granddaughter was suffering among the servant girls?

If she had known earlier, she shouldn't have had any expectations for this matter.

Her heart completely cooled down, and Mu Chu paid more attention when speaking. Now that things have happened, she can only do her best to protect herself in this mansion.

Except for Nanny Lin, the life and death of other people has nothing to do with her.

"Old Madam, the Empress Dowager has sharp eyes and ears. Even if she doesn't know now, she will know sooner or later. Is there no eyeliner for the Empress Dowager in His Royal Highness Prince Li's mansion?"

The old lady narrowed her eyes and looked Mu Chu up and down, as if she had never known her.

Mu Chu took a deep breath, and continued: "In this way, even if the Queen Mother doesn't say anything, she will definitely have thoughts about the Mu family in the future. If the mother cheats and hides even such a small matter, if something big happens in the future, it will still be a big deal. Will you rest assured of our Mu family?"

She admitted that she did it on purpose, intentionally implicating the change of marriage with the imperial power. As a woman of a big family, the old lady has a higher vision and is not limited to the house at all.

Compared with Yue's, most of them think differently.

The old lady cared most about the Mu family, not the little fights between her children. In her eyes, as long as there was something dangerous to the Mu family, she would take it to heart.

After hearing what Mu Chu said, the old lady saw a different color in her eyes.

"Come on, go and call Madam!"

Lan Gu immediately responded, looking at Mu Chu with a hint of approval in his eyes.

Mu Chu squeezed his sleeves tightly, feeling a little nervous in his heart. Although the nervousness did not appear on the surface, his heart beat a little faster involuntarily.

However, even if this point is carefully observed, it will not be discovered.

The old lady coughed twice, taking advantage of Lan Gu's time to call someone, the color on her face eased a lot, and she even asked someone to put two plates of fruits and pastries on Mu Chu's table.

Mu Chu was already starving. Looking at the two plates of pastries and smelling the aroma, he really wanted to take a bite.

For so many years, although she did not experience the feeling of hunger, it was all because of the major surgery.

It's really uncomfortable to feel that this kind of food is clearly in front of you, but you can't eat it with your hands.

The old lady covered her chest and coughed twice, which attracted Mu Chu's attention.

She looked at the expression of the old lady, and broke the silence: "Old lady, do you feel that your throat is very itchy and uncomfortable, but no medicine is effective?"

The nanny beside the old lady laughed: "Does Second Miss still treat people?"

Mu Chu nodded, stood up with a serious face, and saluted the old lady: "If the old lady doesn't mind, can you ask Chu'er to help the old lady look, when Chu'er is fine, she likes to search for mother's Collect books to read, especially like a medical book that records various medicines, and I have a little understanding of some strange symptoms!"

The old lady frowned slightly, "Where are those books?"

There was a bit of helplessness in Mu Chu's eyes, the corners of his lips moved, and a trace of mist unconsciously appeared in his eyes: "It's really cold in winter, and Chu'er has already burned herself to keep warm!"

Mu Chu didn't lie. As the original owner's mother is a princess, it's only natural that she likes to read those romantic books, but because the original owner is illiterate, she burned all those books.

It's just that there are no medical books in it.

Although the explanation was not thorough enough, it also dispelled the old lady's suspicion and explained the origin of her medical skills.

The old lady nodded lightly, and there was a ray of anger in her eyes.

Just as Mu Chu was about to go forward, there was a knock on the door. Lan Gu walked in front and whispered to the old lady: "Old lady, the lady has come!"

The old lady asked Mu Chu to stand aside first, her brows furrowed slightly.

"You let her in, I want to see how the Yue family has managed all the big and small things in this mansion for so many years!"

Footsteps could be heard at the door, and Yue Shi walked in wearing a bright red flower-scattered skirt, her beautiful eyes glowed, and there was an imperceptible sternness in her enchanting eyebrows.
