Reborn Concubine Queen

Chapter 116 The Xiao Family

Shi Yiqing stopped Fang Fei, hesitated for a moment, and said, "It's not suitable for you to go. In this case, you can tell Yingluo what you mean, and let Yingluo talk. Yingluo knows better than you how to say it."

"Hey, what are you two, master and servant, whispering, afraid of being overheard?"

Shi Yiqing turned her eyes to look at Shi Zeqian, who had an inquisitive smile on her face, and smiled softly, "I'm not Madam Xu who is waiting at home, I'm afraid I'm drunk and my head will hurt again, so I asked this girl to persuade me I'm impatient with her, and it's not easy to talk about her in front of everyone, Tete lowered his voice, but you still heard it with sharp ears."

Shi Zeqian raised her eyebrows with a half-smile, didn't go any further, took the wine glass and went to look for Mrs. Shi to drink.

Fang Fei took the opportunity to retreat, walked out of Yiranju quickly, found Yingluo who was waiting on the tip of the moon, said what Shi Yiqing said exactly, and then briefly said what she meant, and finally said: "Sister Yingluo, you too Knowing our old lady's temper, she scolded the third lady like that just now, but now people from the Xiao family came to the door, instead of talking to the old lady, they entered our yard instead. Let the old lady's anger involve our young lady."

Yingluo nodded anxiously, and said, "Sister Fang Fei, you can just rest assured. How can I say that I have my own discretion, and I will keep the old lady from being angry with our lady."

Since the last time Yingluo was beaten by Shi Conghao, she saw that her little life was about to die. If Shi Yiqing hadn't come to obstruct her, and even got hurt because of herself, Yingluo might have met the King of Hades long ago.After raising her for half a year, she finally healed her injuries. After learning that she was sent by the old lady to serve Shi Yiqing, Yingluo already regarded herself as Shi Yiqing's person in her heart. It took extra effort to keep Shi Yiqing.

Thinking of this, Yingluo hurried out of the garden to Chunhui Hall, found Liuli who was waiting in front of her, and said with a smile: "My good girl, go and help my sister call out Sister Zhuxi."

Na Liuli has been close to Yingluo since she was a child, and even though she is separated now, she has not broken her bond, so she jokingly said, "Hey, our sister Yingluo is here? Since my sister followed Miss Nine into the garden, I don't know." Da Chang has come to our Chunhui Hall, and even if he came, he just guarded Miss Jiu and never left her, which made Liu Li very envious."

Although Yingluo was anxious, she also knew that this was not the time to quarrel, so she just blindly flattered her and said, "Liu Li, sister, I will let you ridicule me any way I want in the future, but today is not the case. My sister has something urgent to see sister Zhuxi, so why not?" I hope my sister will tell my sister."

Seeing that Yingluo was in a hurry and wanted to help her, Liuli said: "It's not difficult for you to see sister Zhuxi, now the old lady just finished her meal and she is taking a nap at this time, I just go and call her out. There is only one thing, you owe me today, and you will have to pay it back tomorrow."

Yingluo hastily smiled and agreed, and Liuli smiled and walked into the room through the curtain, not daring to delay, she called out Zhuxi softly, and she replaced Zhuxi and waited by the old lady's side.

Zhu Xi found the outer room, saw Ying Luo, was a little surprised, and asked: "You are not serving Miss Jiu honestly at Ranyuezhi, what are you doing here?"

Yingluo hastily said the words she had spoken to Fang Fei, and mentioned that two people came from Xiao's house, she really saw that Zhu Xi's expression was a little bad, and continued: "Sister Zhu Xi, what should I do? Here I dare not tell Miss, for fear that if the old lady finds out, Miss Jiu will be implicated, but I don't dare to send the Xiao family back, what should I do?"

Zhu Xi frowned slightly, lowered his voice, and asked, "Miss Nine doesn't know about this?"

Yingluo said with a troubled face: "How dare you let Miss Nine know? Fortunately, Miss Nine is playing in Miss Eight's Yiran Residence now, and has never bumped into anyone from Xiao's family. Otherwise, if the old lady finds out, it will only be treated as our lady's back." Let her meet with the Xiao family, Kong will cause trouble then!"

Zhu Xi nodded, hesitating what to say, and seeing Liuli looking at Zhu Xi and Yingluo through the curtain with a bad face, she said in a deep voice, "Madam let you two go in and talk."

Yingluo broke out in a cold sweat, she subconsciously looked at the bamboo breath, reluctantly followed the bamboo breath into the room, and after seeing the old lady, she stood in the corner with her head bowed, not daring to make a sound.

The old lady, Mengshi closed her eyes and played with the finger on her thumb. After a while, she asked Yingluo in a deep voice, "Is someone from the Xiao family here? Who let them into the garden?"

Yingluo knelt down and said tremblingly, "Report to the old lady, I don't know."

The old lady sighed, supported her upper body with her arms, frowned slightly and looked at Yingluo on the ground, and said slowly: "Old lady, I didn't say anything, why did you kneel down, and someone who doesn't know you may still think about it." Now, what am I going to do to you. What's more, now you are the person next to Qing girl, not my girl anymore. "

Yingluo bent down and knelt on the ground in half-shock, half-frightened, not knowing how to react.Standing by the side, Zhu Xi carefully figured out what the old lady was thinking, and hurriedly smiled and said to Yingluo: "Silly girl, why are you still kneeling? The old lady has given you permission to get up."

Zhu Xi waved his hand to make Liuli pull up the Yingluo on the ground, turned around and looked at the old lady Meng and said with a smile: "The old lady is kind-hearted, and she loves Miss Nine even more. Let her grow up in a honeypot, and it is also normal for the Lord Yinshan and Mrs. Xiao to send someone to take a look at it during the Chinese New Year."

The old lady let out a deep breath, her eyes were chaotic but she said complicatedly: "Old woman, I am not such a narrow-minded person, I only hope that my grandchildren are mine, and others are not allowed to snatch them. I just heard that someone from the Xiao family came. For some reason, I remembered Fu Yatou who was married far away. Sigh, if Fu Yatou is still here..."

The huge Chunhui Hall was silent, Zhu Xi took a closer look at the old lady, and then realized that she had fallen asleep sitting up, so he didn't dare to wake her up easily, after thinking twice, he let Liuli wait by the side, and brought the old lady with him. Walking out of the courtyard with Yingluo, she entered the Baifang Garden and headed towards the direction of Ranyuezhi.

But Fang Fei had been waiting for Yingluo to come back at Ranyuezhi, and when she got impatient, a little girl who was waiting outside called out, "Ah, it's Sister Zhuxi and Sister Yingluo who are back."

Fang Fei couldn't help being taken aback for a moment, and her expression became panicked.Fang Fei followed Shi Yiqing to the Chunhui Hall when she got up early, and now that she entered the courtyard, she should have stayed with Shi Yiqing every step of the way, but now she appeared in the house, so she just pretended that Shi Yiqing already knew about it.

Just as Fangfei was fidgeting in the room, she heard Yingluo's voice from outside: "Sister Zhuxi, you are the only one who knows how to figure out what the old lady is thinking. As long as you handle this matter, I think the old lady will not blame you. of."

The shear flow guarding the house came out to welcome him, and he talked and laughed, surrounded by bamboos and entered the main house: "Today, I am still wondering why there is a magpie calling on this branch. It turns out that it is for our bamboos. What about my sister?"

Zhu Xi said with a smile: "Your mouth is sweet." Then she followed the shear flow into the main house.

After waiting for a while, Jianliu sent Rouyin over, clearly saying to ask Shi Yiqing to come back, but secretly covered Fang Fei out of the yard, the two hurried to Yiranju, and found the already drunk Shi Yiqing rushed back.

Because today is still the beginning of the year, the old lady and the other wives don't want to be disciplined and restrained. Moreover, the young ladies are already old. I'm afraid that those who get married after the new year will get married, those who are old and those who get together There are not many days, so I just let them drink and mess around, and they should turn a blind eye and close their eyes.

But Shi Yiqing managed to drink a cup of boiling hot soup, and he finally woke up. Following Fang Fei and others back to Ranyuezhi, seeing Zhu Xi was there, he blushed and smiled: "Sister Zhu Xi is also here, just right , let's not get drunk today, and we will not return home!"

She didn't care much about the flow, but she knew Shi Yiqing's behavior after drinking. Seeing that she was only drinking a few glasses of fruit wine, she was drunk like this. She was afraid that something would make a fuss, so she smiled wryly and stepped forward to clean up Shi Yiqing. Let her wake up for a while, and change into a clothes that can see people. After a while, she came out from the inside and met the people of the Xiao family.

A nanny and a young girl came to Xiao's house, and saw Shi Yiqing's face was flushed, which made her skin whiter, as lovely as a porcelain doll, and because of drunkenness, her eyes, which were always cold in the past, became more and more radiant. The winking eyes are like silk, and the gradually opened appearance gradually has a kind of stunning beauty, like Shi Xuanfu who is married far away and doesn't know the news.

The nanny from the Xiao family married into the Xiao family with the head of Yinshan County since she was a child. The dowry of the Shan County Lord did not follow the previous third wife into the Shi family. Later, when he got older, he seldom left the Xiao family, let alone walked around the Shi family.Therefore, the little girls of the Shi family have never seen this old man of the Xiao family.

Because Shi Yiqing resembled Shi Xuanfu quite a bit, when the nun and the girl came forward to worship, she had a soft smile on her face, and she was not a little annoyed by waiting for a long time: "The old slave has seen Miss Biao, please greet Miss Biao."

Shi Yiqing's drunkenness has subsided a lot, and the Lingtai has become much clearer. Seeing the amiable look of the nanny, she also laughed, and said softly: "No need to be polite, nanny, please take a seat."

How did the nanny dare to sit down? After repeated delays, she sat down on the side of the little boy, and then explained her purpose of coming: "The county magistrate misses Miss Biao very much, thinking that today is the beginning of the year, and even more so." It's a day of family reunion, I want Miss Biao to come over to talk about it."

Shi Yiqing lowered her eyes and said nothing, waiting for Zhu Xi to come forward to talk to her.Zhu Xi, who was waiting at the side, saw Shi Yiqing's appearance, and knew that he was waiting for her here, so he deliberately ignored it, but he was afraid of offending Shi Yiqing, so he sighed secretly, and then stopped the conversation.

"I would like to thank the county lord for her kindness, but it's just a coincidence that Miss Nine is still drunk, and it's already getting late. I'm afraid it will be inconvenient to go rashly at this time. I will wait until tomorrow, and I will let the servant report to the old lady." , arranging a vehicle to take Miss Jiu back home for a night is a way to get the best of both worlds."

Mammy knew the most favored Zhuxi by the old lady Meng's side, and when she heard her speak, she knew that it was no different from what the old lady said. Fortunately, her task has been completed, and she doesn't care about this day if she wants to come to Yinshan county lord After a long time, I turned my eyes and thought for a while, then smiled and agreed.

The days in midwinter became shorter and shorter, before it was time for dinner, the sky darkened, and the nanny and the girl hurried back to Xiao's house to return to her order while the sky was still dark.

Zhu Xi sent the Xiao family out of the mansion, turned around and went back to Chunhui Hall, asked Liuli carefully, and learned that the old lady fell asleep after simply eating rice porridge, feeling a little uneasy, and ordered Liuli to prepare a gift tomorrow, Send it to Imperial Physician Liu's house in the Imperial Hospital, and ask Imperial Physician Liu to come over to ask the old lady for a safe pulse.

After a noisy night, Ranyuezhi managed to calm down, and Shi Yiqing's alcohol all dissipated, leaving only a faint headache.

Jianliu naturally knew about Shi Yiqing's problem, so he dismissed the servants in the house, leaving himself and Fang Fei alone to serve Shi Yiqing, and managed to coax Shi Yiqing to sleep. Flow woke up.

Shi Yiqing curled up and hid in the corner of the gums, staring at Jianliu who hurried over with a dull expression, it took him a while to realize that he was dreaming just now.

Jian Liu hastily stepped forward and hugged Shi Yiqing in his arms: "It's okay, it's okay, it's all a dream, it's just a dream. It's okay."

Shi Yiqing looked forward with dull eyes, and after a while she said in a hoarse voice: "Where is Mammy? Where is Mammy? Jianliu, go and find Mammy for me."

"Now?" Jianliu was a little surprised, "Miss, I'm afraid the nanny has already fallen asleep."

Shi Yiqing shouted excitedly: "I told you to bring the nanny! You go!"

Jian Liu had no choice but to follow Shi Yiqing's wishes, and quickly walked out of the room, walked around the corridor to the door of Madam Xu's room, and patted on the door to wake Mama Xu up.

Shi Yiqing, who was left alone in the room, curled up her legs and stared blankly at the brocade quilt covering her body. The bright red color burned Shi Yiqing's eyes like fire, and she couldn't help shedding tears.

When Madam Xu trotted into the room, she saw Shi Yiqing, who seemed vulnerable and crouched in a corner with his knees hugged, suddenly sober and weeping, the softest part of his heart seemed to be being stirred non-stop by someone holding scissors, The pain spread along with the trembling, but there was no outlet for it.

Mammy Xu stepped forward to hold Shi Yiqing in her arms, and coaxed her in a soft voice like she was when she was a child: "Mommy is here, the baby will stop crying. If the baby doesn't cry, it's all a dream, it doesn't exist, miss Don't be afraid."

Shi Yiqingwo gradually let go of her voice and began to cry in Mammy Xu's arms. She knew that no matter what she dreamed just now or what she experienced in her previous life, they were all fears that she could not express at this moment.Shi Yiqing couldn't tell Grandma Xu how she was killed by him in the previous life, and her body was decapitated in the cold palace in the end, and her soul had nowhere to rest.Shi Yiqing was even more unable to tell Grandma Xu that she could no longer control the fate of this life, maybe she would be like the one in her dream just now, and end up on the old road, killing everyone around her.

No, she can't let the fate of her previous life befall her again.She will never allow it!
Shi Yiqing stopped crying, and let Grandma Xu in front of her wipe her tears with a handkerchief, but she made up her mind and said in a hoarse voice: "Mammy, I know, I was raised by you since I was a child." Yes, you and I have been away for many years, and we have experienced so many things together. We have survived life and death. Now that I have returned home with great difficulty, I have finally grown into the young lady you want, and I even recognize my mother. Mommy, I don't want to find out who is more important in your heart, me or the Xiao family. After all, you are as important as my mother in my heart. I don't want to see any accident between you and my mother. Mammy, do you understand me?"

Mother Xu wiped away the tears flowing down the lines of her eyes with a handkerchief, nodded silently, and said after a while: "Miss, I understand what you mean, and I also know that you are doing this for my own good." The lady said that in your heart, I am as important as Aunt Xiao, and it is not in vain that I have taken care of the lady for many years. These days, I have also thought clearly about the mammy. The lady has not yet reached the age, but she is a person with her own ideas , I can solve any big and small things by myself, and I don’t need Mammy anymore. Mammy can’t help Miss with things in Shi’s house, so I will go out and help Miss outside, and when Miss misses Mommy one day Now, come and have a look at Mammy, and I will not waste the years of friendship between you and me."

Shi Yiqing couldn't help but feel sore when she heard Madam Xu's words, she put her arms around Madam Xu's neck and burst into tears, thinking about her past and present lives, Nanny Xu has never left her, she has been by her side for many years Around, there is hard work without credit.If she hadn't been afraid that if she entered the palace and followed the path of her previous life, she would eventually harm Mother Xu, how could she let Mother Xu go out to suffer.

Mammy Xu also had tears all over her face, but she suppressed her sadness and said with a smile: "Miss, don't cry, why don't you go and finish the noodle soup for Miss now?"

Shi Yiqing wept more and more, and Madam Xu couldn't help the reluctance in her heart. The master and servant hugged each other and cried together.Jianliu, who had the guts to come in to serve, finally persuaded the two of them, and then called the maid, Mingmei Lianying, to come in to serve, and simply washed Shi Yiqing and Madam Xu, watching the sun in the sky quickly rise up.

Mo Xian, who was woken up, managed to hold on, and led the little girl to cook a bowl of Changshou noodles for Grandma Xu, and brought it to Grandma Xu with tears in her eyes, serving her a simple bite, and wanted to comfort her Going back to the room to sleep, Shi Yiqing insisted that Nanny Xu should sleep on her own bed, and the two of them wanted to talk intimately.
