Tell the lord, the princess has climbed the wall

Chapter 142 Good things from noble people (2)

Seeing Mrs. Zhou's endless reports, Zuo Mu interrupted her impatiently, and reprimanded, "These are precious things that are hard to buy. Since you have done this job, you must distinguish between priorities. Things must be kept in a special place.

It's only February, and it's cold and wet. So many good things are stored here. If they go bad due to poor storage, do you think it's your responsibility or the Kangwang Mansion's?
Don't end up giving someone a gift, and our love is also accepted, but the prince's body is not repaired. Isn't that a waste of so many good things? "

"But, this..."

Suddenly being reprimanded, Mrs. Zhou was stunned for a while, and just about to open her mouth to explain something, she was interrupted by Mrs. Li who was next to her with righteous words.
"Mother Zhou, you may not know that our princess is not only highly skilled in medicine, but also quite authoritative in medicinal materials. Since you have done something wrong, you must correct it in time if you are pointed out by the princess, and you will strictly follow the requirements of the princess in the future. How can you Pushing back and forth, trying to find an objective reason?" Then Granny Li finally seized an opportunity to perform, so naturally she couldn't let it go easily.

"Yes, my lord, what you taught me is that this old servant has neglected his duties, and later this old servant will store these things separately." Mrs. Zhou glanced at Mrs. Li, and after a moment of silence, she finally said reluctantly.

"Princess Qi, where do you think these precious medicinal materials should be stored and how should they be stored, okay? How about this old slave help Mother Zhou to arrange them according to what you said?" Seeing that she had the upper hand, Mrs. Li was busy. He asked Zuo Mu with a smile all over his face.

"Forget it, don't mess around." Zuo Mu thought for a while, and said, "The prince is weak at this time, and it is time to make up for it. Just send these to the small kitchen. Turn around I'll tidy it up slowly, and help the prince recuperate bit by bit."

"Yes, servant girl obeys!" Mrs. Li responded readily.

"Ah..., no... no way!"

As soon as Zuo Mu finished speaking, before Mrs. Li started to make a move over there, Mrs. Zhou was shocked and stopped in front, "Princess, you really can't take these things away..."

"I said Mother Zhou, you are so stupid. As the mistress of a mansion, the princess is not hers. She can't take anything in the Kang Wang mansion at will? You are really brave enough. Are you still trying to stop it?" Mrs. Li snorted coldly, pushed Mrs. Zhou away, picked up a few gift boxes and was about to go out.

Seeing that Mrs. Zhou was completely anxious, she jumped over the two of them, rushed outside, and blocked the door with her fat body, "No, none of you can carry these things out today, let alone give them to the prince... ..."

Seeing this, Mrs. Li was overjoyed, God knows, after being bored in the mansion for so long, it was finally her turn to show.

Mrs. Li cursed angrily on her face, put down the gift box, rolled up her sleeves, and stepped forward to slap Mrs. Zhou, "Well, Mrs. Zhou, you are really slapping your nose. You dare to block the way of the princess. If you don't let me today You have suffered a bit, it seems that you really don't know who is the master of this Prince Kang's mansion?"

"Wait!"

Zuo Mu stopped Granny Li with a cold voice, took a step forward, stared at Granny Zhou seriously and asked,
"Mother Zhou, right? Why don't you let my concubine take these things away? But is there any other reason?"

"That..., old slave, it's hard to say..." Mrs. Zhou looked at Mrs. Li, dodged her eyes, and said decisively, "Anyway, no matter what today, none of you can take these things away from me! Otherwise If you don't, unless you step over my corpse."

Stepping over a dead body?

It's really weird for a servant woman to stop her master from taking things.It is estimated that the whole Xixia is the only one.

But if you look closely at this Mrs. Li, she has an upright face, she doesn't look like a cheater.

Is it really another person's secret?
Or is there something wrong with these things?
Zuo Mu thought about it, and was about to go forward to ask what happened, but suddenly heard a familiar voice behind him, "I said, why haven't I seen the princess after searching for a long time, so you are here?"

Zuo Mu followed the reputation, and it turned out that Nanny Gui got the news from nowhere and rushed over in a hurry.

"It's a very busy day, my concubine, you came to the storehouse in person, but you want to choose some medicinal materials to make up for the prince?" Nanny Gui walked up to her, panting heavily.

Before she could see it, she should be a little nervous.

Zuo Mu looked at the medicinal materials piled up under his feet, and then glanced at Mrs. Zhou, who was stalking her legs, "That's the case, it's just that..."

"Well then, there are still some good things in the inner suite, and the old slave will accompany you to choose carefully, how about it?" Nanny Gui finally regained her composure and asked respectfully with a smile on her face.

Zuo Mu always felt that Nanny Gui seemed to have some deep meaning in her smile. I heard that Nanny Gui was an old man who took care of Sima Cheng from childhood, and followed him from birth to poisoning, so although her behavior was abnormal at the moment, Zuo Mu still had no doubts about her intentions.

"You watched the prince grow up, and you are the only one who understands his habits best in this world. It is naturally better for you to be the first." After a moment of silence, Zuo Mu replied in an obedient manner.

With Zuo Mu's approval, Nanny Gui immediately gained confidence, and when she turned her head, the two women who were unquestionable were driven out, "Both of you go down, just leave this place to me."

"Yes." After getting the order, Mrs. Zhou breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and left.

"This..., but..." Although Mrs. Li was a little unwilling, she waited for a long time and saw that Zuo Mu had no intention of staying with her, so she had no choice but to leave reluctantly.

Seeing that the two had gone far away, Nanny Gui turned around and came over from the corner with a pot in her arms, "Princess, if you want to make up for the prince, you can actually use this ginseng plant."

"Why? Aren't these all good?" Zuo Mu stared at the gift box under his feet and asked in disbelief.

"Aren't these sent by the palace?" Nanny Gui asked meaningfully.

"Could it be... there is something wrong with these things?" Zuo Mu finally realized something was wrong.

"I don't dare to say anything about the affairs of the nobles. Princess, don't you know this? See for yourself. Seeing is believing, hearing is believing." Facing Zuo Mu's surprised gaze, Nanny Gui said neither humble nor overbearing.

"Impossible? Is there really something wrong with such an aboveboard gift?" Zuo Mu was still puzzled until the moment he opened the gift box.

But after she opened these gift boxes one by one and carefully examined them one by one, her mood changed drastically.
