I can't afford to mess with the concubine doctor

Chapter 86
Even if Nanny Cui didn't say anything about the joints, Mrs. Chen knew it well. After giving some instructions, she called the servant girl to wash and change her clothes, and then took Nanny Cui and the others out of Fufangyuan.

When Mrs. Chen arrived in the back garden, Mrs. Bai and Mrs. Liu and several other concubines had already arrived, sitting in the gazebo chatting one after another, leaving Mrs. Xu alone by the side, but Mrs. Xu did not He didn't feel embarrassed, and just played with a pot of rare green chrysanthemums to himself.

Seeing Mrs. Chen approaching, they immediately stopped talking and joking, came forward and said in unison: "Concubines, send your respects to Madam."

Among these people, Mrs. Bai, who belonged to Qu Liancheng Xinna, was the most favored and benefited the most from Qu Lingxu, so she took the initiative to help Mrs. Chen into the pavilion, and said with a smile: "Ma'am, look at these The chrysanthemum blooms so well, I am not talented, and I know a little bit of makeup and powder craftsmanship, so I specially asked someone to pick fresh petals to make makeup powder, and when it is ready, I will send it to Fufangyuan. "

No regular wife would like those concubines who compete with her for her husband's favor, and Chen is no exception, but as the saying goes, "Don't hit a smiley face with your hand", and Bai's always respectful to her, she also said with a faint smile: "Thanks a lot."

"Sister Bai is really ingenious, unlike some people who only want to put the flowers that bloom well in their own yard, and don't know how many pots to send to Madam, but Madam Lao has to travel all the way here." Liu Shi snorted lightly with a half-smile, the meaning behind her words was self-evident.

Although Mrs. Liu is a few years older than Mrs. Bai, she is charming and affectionate, her skin is better than snow, and she can play the pipa well. Give her little torture, even tamper with her diet, so that she can no longer have children, now seeing Xu's downfall, naturally he doesn't mind ridiculing her.

It is human nature to worship the high and trample on the low. Everyone knows that Mrs. Chen doesn't want to see Mrs. Xu, so naturally she spares no effort to sneer. Mrs. Chen is worried about Qu Lingxu's situation after leaving Beijing, and she is already upset. Then he said lightly: "Sisters, if you are interested in elegance, you can move a few more pots of flowers to enjoy. My wife still has some trivial matters to deal with, so I won't accompany you sisters." After finishing speaking, she got up and left.

The reason why Mrs. Bai and others came here was to please Mrs. Chen. Not only did they fail to achieve their goal, but they also got a bad nose. Naturally, their moods were not much better, and they all got up and left. The Xu family is alone.

Seeing that everyone had gone away, Mrs. Xu touched her broken leg, stood up slowly, and winked at Mammy Yu, who nodded knowingly and left quickly.

Let's say that after Mrs. Chen left from the back garden, she walked all the way to Fufangyuan, but before she had gone far, a young maid who looked unfamiliar chased after her and said respectfully: "Return to Madam, Aunt Bai is going to make rouge cream, but she doesn't Knowing what color and style Madam likes, I specially asked the servants to ask Madam Cui to give some advice."

Mrs. Chen is not interested in Rouge, but Mrs. Bai is deeply favored by Qu Liancheng, and she is on good terms with Qu Lingxu, so she must take the other party's face into consideration, so she nodded and let Nanny Cui go.

All this fell into the eyes of Nanny Yu who was hiding in the dark, and she turned around and nodded to the servant behind her, who immediately jumped into the artificial lake and kept shouting: "Help! Help! Someone fell into the water!"

Just as Xu expected, upon hearing the call, Chen stopped immediately, and said to the maidservants who accompanied him, "It seems that someone has fallen into the water, hurry up and call a few servants over!"

Hearing this, the leading little servant girl hesitated and said: "Madam, the slaves are gone, who will serve you?"

Before the eldest lady left, she had given them a lecture, and she specifically instructed that Madam must be accompanied by someone at all times, and she must never be allowed to leave Fufang Courtyard alone.

"It's important to save people. What can happen to my wife in this short time?" After all, it is a matter of life and death. Chen waved her hand without hesitation to signal the few people to go quickly. Although the little girl hesitated in her heart, she also Not daring to disobey the master's order, they each went to the outer courtyard to greet people.

"Help! Help..."

Seeing that the cries for help were getting smaller and smaller, Mrs. Chen didn't care to wait for people to come, and walked quickly towards the artificial lake alone. Before she got close, she saw a young man struggling desperately on the water. Afterwards, she kept calling for help: "Madam...Madam, save the servant, save the second aunt!"

If Mrs. Chen had more common sense, she would definitely understand that a drowning person struggling on the verge of death would never be able to utter such angry words. However, she didn't understand this, so she walked to the lake instinctively and said in surprise: "What, the second aunt fell into the water?"

Mrs. Xu fell into the water?
Personally speaking, Mrs. Chen wished Mrs. Xu could just drown and forget it. However, Mrs. Xu had just been ridiculed in the back garden, and now she fell into the water and died. Even if Qu Liancheng and Qu Dingbang came back, they would not be able to explain the accusations and criticisms.

She... what should she do?
However, Mrs. Chen couldn't help thinking too much, and the servant in the water shouted: "Madam, I can't hold on anymore, please help me, aunt... aunt has already passed out from choking on the water, if you...!" Here, the boy seemed to be exhausted, and the half of his head that was originally exposed was also submerged in the water!

"How are you? You have to hold on!" After all, Mrs. Chen is a kind-hearted person. How could she just watch two big living people drown in front of her? People who don't understand water have a natural instinct for water. She was afraid, and she didn't dare to do anything rashly. She was struggling and saw a long wooden stick not far from the lake. He pushed himself with a strong force, and before he could react, he fell into the lake with a plop along the pebbles under his feet!
Bitch, go to hell!

Qu Fengyan hooked the corners of her lips proudly, the smile on her lips was full of murderous intent.

However, this expression only lasted for a short moment, and in the next second, she shouted heart-piercingly: "Mother! Mother! Come here, save mother and aunt!"

At this moment, the servant girl beside Chen had already greeted a few young men who were familiar with water from the front yard. Hearing Qu Fengyan's words, they felt a chill go down their backs and trembled all over.

Something happened, something big is going to happen!
"Hurry up! Save people!" Someone yelled first, and several servants quickly jumped into the lake, and together they fished up Mrs. Chen, Mrs. Xu and the rescuer. That servant already knew a little about water. , it was nothing serious, after going ashore, he woke up after spitting out a few mouthfuls of muddy water. In contrast, Mrs. Chen and Mrs. Xu were not so lucky. They were both unconscious and were carried back to their courtyards by their servants. They also asked the government doctors to come quickly for diagnosis and treatment.

Both Qu Liancheng and Qu Lingxu were not in the mansion, and the Chen family became like this again, and the power of the family fell to Qu Fengyan logically. She did not go back to the Jinxiu Pavilion to take care of the Xu family, but went with the servants. Staying in the Fufangyuan, anxiously waiting for Mrs. Chen to wake up.

Of course, she knew very well that Mrs. Chen would never wake up, because after Mrs. Chen fell into the water, the servants who had already ambushed in the water tightly pulled her into the bottom of the water, without giving her any chance to struggle.

Of course, these things must not be revealed at all. In front of people, Qu Fengyan broke down in tears and blamed himself: "It's all my fault. I should hold my mother and never let her go into the water. Wuwu..."

At this time, Nanny Cui, who got the news of Mrs. Chen falling into the water, had already rushed back, and said that she followed the maid all the way to the Bai's Pavilion, and halfway there, the maid suddenly remembered that Mrs. Bai had ordered her to go to the housekeeper to get some things. Grandma Cui didn't suspect him, so she let her go, but when she arrived at Shaoyaoju, Mrs. Bai said that she didn't ask anyone to invite Grandma Cui to come.

As the saying goes, "There must be a monster if something goes wrong." At this time, Madam Cui already felt faintly uneasy in her heart, but she didn't expect such a big event to happen in a blink of an eye.

Seeing the water droplets dripping from outside the courtyard to the house, Nanny Cui felt as if her whole body was struck by lightning. She staggered to the crying Qu Fengyan, staring straight at him with two scarlet eyes, " Second Miss, how could Madam fall into the water so well?"

Naturally, Qu Fengyan didn't pay attention to Cui Madam, a servant girl, but at this time, the Bai family, Liu family and others all rushed over after getting the news, so they had to do some tricks on the scene, only to see her burst into tears, After a long while, he choked out of breath and said, "It's all my fault! It's all my fault! I know my aunt invited my mother and some aunts to enjoy the chrysanthemums in the back garden, so I wanted to make some snacks for everyone to taste. When Cheng wanted to bring it over, there were no other people in the garden, and only my aunt was left standing by the river in a daze. I thought it was too dangerous and went to grab my aunt, but I accidentally staggered a step, not only did I not hold my aunt, Instead, I pushed her into the lake. I was terrified, so I could only shout for someone to save my aunt, but in the back garden, except for a handy boy who knew how to swim, no one else could help, so I had to follow them. Let's go around calling for people..." Qu Fengyan seemed to be tired, and after a short pause, he continued: "At this moment, my mother came over. Although my mother didn't understand water skills, she was kind by nature, and couldn't bear to see my aunt and her husband. The boy drowned, so he picked up the long wooden stick by the lake and handed it over, hoping that the boy could grab the stick, but unexpectedly...unexpectedly, she lost her footing and fell into the water!"

Qu Fengyan didn't seem to dare to recall that thrilling scene anymore, he covered his head with his hands and curled up into a ball, looking very painful.

Regarding Qu Fengyan's remarks, Madam Cui didn't believe a word. People who don't understand water have a natural fear of water. Even if Mrs. Chen wants to hand the wooden stick to the servant, she will definitely stand It is a piece of nonsense how to slip into the lake in a safe enough position!
