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

Chapter 25 Insufficient Greed
"Before I entered the door, I felt that the old lady had lost her temper. How do you maidservants serve you?"

The tip of Yue's eyebrows was slightly raised, and a pair of beautiful long eyebrows were slightly frowned.

As soon as he entered the door and saw Mu Chu sitting beside him, he felt suspicious.

"It's so late that the old lady hasn't rested. Is there anything important to find a wife?"

Yue Shi stepped forward and saluted slightly to the old lady above, his eyes flickering, with a bit of inquiry.

The old lady had no expression on her face, "Master Yue, sit here, I have something to ask you!"

A graceful and luxurious attire made Yue Shi even more imposing. Sitting where the old lady was attacking, she raised her head and turned to look at Mu Chu: "If you don't have a good rest in the room at night, you dare to come here to disturb the old lady. , Didn’t this lady teach you?”

Mu Chu stood up, and saw that Yue Shi gave everyone a big blow as soon as he entered the door, and the smile on the corner of his mouth gradually became thicker.

Although the old lady didn't manage the inner house all the year round, she was very clear about Yue's every move. This arrogance was left outside and no one cared about her, but in front of the old lady, it would be useless.

"Chu'er followed the old lady's order and came to pay her respects!"

When Yue Shi saw the smile on Mu Chu's mouth, she couldn't get angry in her heart, but now that the old lady was in front of her, she restrained a lot. You can't embarrass the master.

She restrained her temper, and said with a bit of earnestness: "When you come to the old lady in the future, send someone to inform the lady. If I let the lady know that you intend to disturb the old lady's recuperation, she will definitely punish you!"

Her tone was stern, showing concern for the old lady, but she suppressed Mu Chu in disguise.

The old lady herself is a fine person, she couldn't hear the meaning behind what Yue said, so her pupils dimmed slightly.

"Yue Shi, today is the old man who called Chu'er over. In the future, if the old man calls someone over, do we still need your consent?"

Yue quickly lowered his head and said respectfully: "Daughter-in-law, don't dare, it's just that everything is for the sake of you, old lady!"

Yue Shi lowered her head slightly, hiding the light in her eyes, she couldn't afford to treat her daughter-in-law harshly, but what could she do if she was treated harshly, as long as she made up for it a little and shut up everyone's mouths.

The old lady waved her hand: "Forget it, I didn't come to listen to you to teach others today. Although Chu'er is not your own, she is still the daughter of the Mu family. What have you done for so many years, you know it yourself!"

Mu Chu was listening on the sidelines, feeling a little surprised by the old lady's words, but she understood in a moment that she had mentioned in front of Lan Gu today that she wanted to repair the old lady's yard, and the old lady must have known about the matter in her hand. How much silver is there.

Today, she stood up for herself and taught Yue Shi a lesson, first because of the benefits she promised, and because she wanted to teach Yue Shi a lesson secretly, Yue Shi has kept her dowry for so many years, and the old lady didn't see a single cent of the money , the mood can be imagined.

"Old lady, what you said is wrong. What did my daughter-in-law do to make old lady say that about me?"

There was a bit of questioning in Yue Shi's tone, making it clear that he didn't want to tell the truth.

The old lady's complexion was a little ugly. Although some things were on the bright side, there was no evidence. She had seen them all these years, because Mu Chu's life or death had nothing to do with her, so she ignored it. But how could she have imagined that there was such a large dowry behind her.

Mu Chu's eyes flickered slightly, and he stood up with a look of embarrassment: "Old lady, actually, mother..."

Before she could finish her sentence, she heard a ripping sound, and the dress on the hem of the skirt was scratched because it accidentally touched the corner of the table.

Yue Shi's eyes narrowed slightly, a flash of anger flashed across his eyes, and his eyes were fixed on Mu Chu.

Embarrassment appeared on Mu Chu's face, and he hid the broken part behind his back: "Mother didn't make things difficult for Chu'er, old lady, don't blame mother!"

Lan Gu saw this scene with sharp eyes, covered her face with a smile and said, "Old madam, this madam really didn't treat the concubine daughter harshly. The material worn by this concubine daughter is probably not as good as that of a maid. It’s broken, and if someone sees it when you go out, you’ll think that the prime minister’s mansion is so poor that even the concubine’s daughter is wearing human clothes!”

Mu Chu pursed his lips tightly and did not speak.

It's just that the forbearance and grievance shown on the face are seen by everyone.

The old lady's eyes darkened a bit, "Yue Shi, is this a good thing you did?"

When Yue Shi saw this, his expression became a little flustered.

She didn't understand what the old lady was doing at this time. She took advantage of the old lady's age to control all the power in the mansion, and the old lady has stayed in Jingshoutang for more than ten years. At this time, what is the intention of talking like this now?

"Old madam, this matter is due to my daughter-in-law's lax discipline, and one of her slaves is too greedy to ignore Chu'er's things. Now the daughter-in-law has already punished her and made up all of Chu'er's share, but the clothes are after all. It's cumbersome, at least I have to wait a few days...!"

Yue's voice was calm, and he resolved the matter in two or three strokes. Mu Chu secretly smiled inwardly, and was very happy to see the pain in Yue's face.

Those things today are all unnecessary, there are no expensive clothes and bedding, and they say they will be sent to her when they are ready, but when they are ready, they don't know when they will wait.

She is going to get married soon, and she doesn't want to be so poor that she has to pay for everything herself.

The matter is so far, with the old lady's people watching, it is impossible for the Yue family not to make clothes for Mu Chu.

Mu Chu turned around and thanked Yue Shi: "Thank you, mother, for your concern!"

"Thank you, this is what a mother should do!"

Yue Shi gritted his teeth tightly, but forced a smile on his face, and looked at Mu Chu's eyes, but there was a cold light.

Now that the two of them have already spoken, there is no need to hide it.

Mu Chu felt very at ease, but his stomach let out an untimely growl, which was very abrupt to everyone's ears.

Lan Gu was standing closest to Mu Chu. Hearing this voice, she smiled and pushed the plate on the table towards Mu Chu on her own initiative: "How long has it been since Second Miss eat?"

The scar on Mu Chu's forehead was covered, so she didn't look disgusting, her cheeks flushed slightly, with a hint of shyness, "Chu'er hasn't eaten in a day!"

"Don't those maids bring food to the second lady?"

Lan Gu seemed to be chatting, and Mu Chu answered casually. "Chu'er saw that it was time for dinner, but she asked the maid who was guarding the door, but the maid said that there were only some leftovers that the maids ate, and Chu'er didn't want to, so..."

Lan Gu glanced at Yue Shi with some lamentation: "Second Miss is really pitiful, but the meals in this mansion are all cooked according to the master's share, how could it be gone, is it eaten by some maid under Madam? But second miss, don't worry, with the old lady, it is impossible for the old lady to let the second miss go back hungry, second miss, eat more!"

When Yue Shi heard Lan Gu's words, his face became more and more serious.

Mu Chu was not polite, sat down and began to eat.

She ate naturally, but the chopsticks didn't pause for a moment, and the movements didn't appear to be too fast or too slow.

This not only shows her good manners, but also lets others see how hungry she is and how restrained she is.

The old lady likes people who keep the etiquette the most, and more importantly, doing so can make the old lady see her value to the Mu family.

Although she has scars on her face and her face is ugly, but there is a little advantage, which will make this old lady who only cares about the interests of the family pay attention to it.

The three women who married Luo Wang at the beginning were all the best in appearance in the capital, but they were all confidantes. In her eyes, I am afraid that there is still a little hope for her.

Now that the new emperor is making drastic changes to the government, and the little emperor is clever, all these old officials in the court are frightened and dare not take a wrong step.

Especially the four important officials in the court who hold the imperial power.

Mu Chu didn't get much information from the memory of the original owner, but he also knew that the current situation of the Mu family in the court was not impressive.

Although she didn't know what that Luo Wang was, if she really married into Luo Wang's mansion, it would still be beneficial to the prime minister's mansion.

Otherwise, the old lady wouldn't suddenly change her temper towards her.

The corners of Yue's mouth were tightly pursed, and a kind of low air pressure slowly circulated in the hall.

She snorted coldly, turned her head slowly, and looked at the nanny next to her: "Sun nanny, what's going on? My wife said that I want you to take good care of the second lady. One or two of you Yes, do you take Madam Ben's words as wind on your ears?"

Nanny Sun rolled her eyes and said quickly: "This old slave must investigate carefully to find out who has such courage, so I can explain to Second Miss!"

Yue Shi pushed all the responsibilities to his subordinates, but he only got a reputation for being lax in discipline. After all, the old lady had nothing to do with her, but she didn't lose too much.

She left with cold eyes first, while Mu Chu ate and drank enough at the old lady's place, packed some snacks by the way, then got up and said goodbye to the old lady.

Lan Gu followed her and sent her out, "Second Miss, your filial piety, the old lady has taken it all to heart, this Jingshou Hall has lived in for a long time, it is really uncomfortable, but it will cost about 1 taels of silver to repair it. , the old lady has been reluctant!"

When Mu Chu heard this, she felt amused. Although the old lady never mentioned the matter of asking her to take the money, the scene just now had already made her stand clear.If she doesn't pay something, I'm afraid the old lady will never make a move in the future.

But the opening is 1 taels, does the old lady take her for a fool?
"Don't worry, Lan Gu, promise the old lady's matter, Chu'er will definitely handle it well!" She answered in a mixed way, and Lan Gu thought she agreed to give the money, and she was even happier.

"That's good. The second young lady is going to get married soon, and there are not many opportunities to get close to the old lady. When you have nothing to do, you can come and hang around more often!"

Mu Chu nodded, and said intentionally or unintentionally: "Gu Lan, the old lady's cough is not getting better, why don't you go to the medicine hall, buy some mountain elm and put it in the original prescription for the old lady to try, the medicine of mountain elm is mild , even if it doesn’t work, nothing will happen!”

Lan Gu was stunned for a moment, then nodded with a smile: "Second Miss' words, I will remember!"

Mu Chu didn't care whether Lan Gu would follow his own words or not, so he took two quick steps out of the courtyard gate. At this time, the sky had darkened, the surroundings were dark, the stars and moon in the sky were covered by clouds and mist, and a faint cold air slowly penetrated Entering into Mu Chu's lapel, she couldn't help shivering.

A dark shadow suddenly flashed at the corner in front of him, Mu Chu was startled, standing on the path with no one around, his pupils shrank slightly.
