Reborn Concubine Queen

Chapter 128
When Shi Yiqing led He Mufangfei back to Ranyuezhi, the news about her being beaten spread all over Baifangyuan, and for some reason, it reached the ears of Madam Xu who had been recuperating from Ranyuezhi all day long. .Mother Xu, who had just recovered her body just now, became confused when she heard this. When she woke up, she hurriedly asked Jianliu to call someone to find Shi Yiqing. The little girl didn't dare to delay. Seeing Shi Yiqing came back, he hurried in and told Jianliu.

Jianliu and the others came out to meet him, and seeing Shi Yiqing's face was hurt, he couldn't help but said distressedly: "Miss, you are back, you are so anxious to death."

Shi Yiqing entered the house and heard that Grandma Xu had fainted because of this incident, and she didn't care about changing her regular clothes, so she went to find Grandma Xu, comforted her and said, "Don't worry, Grandma, I'm fine, right?" ?”

Grandma Xu saw that Shi Yiqing was well although she was injured, but when she felt relieved, she couldn't help but feel distressed. She hurriedly asked the maids to bring boiled eggs, and took a handkerchief for Shi Yiqing to apply on the wound.

Listening to Fang Fei who followed, she said: "If Miss Ba hadn't helped our lady block a few punches, I'm afraid those two ladies are trying their best to die!"

Seeing that the two ladies that Fangfei mentioned were none other than Shi Yiyao and Shi Yiqin from Lin County, Madam Xu couldn't help being startled, looked at Shi Yiqing with tears in her eyes, and said in a deep voice: "I just think that when I get out of Lin County, I was able to avoid this pair of plague gods, but I didn't know that they followed me like a shadow, and they came here to bully Miss."

Shi Yiqing knew that Grandma Xu remembered being surrounded and beaten by them when she first arrived in Lin County, so she hurriedly smiled and said to Grandma Xu, "Qing'er is no longer the weak child she was back then, but now she is strong and strong." Yes, how could I let the two of them bully me?! Mother, don't worry, those two didn't take advantage of me."

Grandma Xu wept to heal Shi Yiqing's wound, and in order to calm Madam Xu's emotions, Shi Yiqing gritted her teeth and said, "I'm afraid my mother will worry about me if she finds out about this, so she should have said it herself. Yes, it's just that Mammy sees me like this, I'm afraid I can't make my mother cry and be sad, and I have to trouble Mammy to go there for me to appease her."

When Mother Xu heard this, she couldn't help sighing, and said, "I just remember crying, but I forgot about Aunt Xiao. What the lady said is true, then I will go to Aunt Xiao to have a look."

Seeing off Nanny Xu, Shi Yiqing prescribes medicine for herself, and eats some food. Seeing that it is almost noon, and just about to change clothes and go to Fangcuixuan to practice female red, Liuli took the old lady's words Come in.

Liuli blessed her body, and said softly: "I met Miss Jiu. Is Miss Jiu going to Fang Cui Xuan?"

Shi Yiqing smiled and replied, "Exactly. I just didn't know that Sister Liuli would come."

Liu Li hurriedly said: "The old lady said that Miss Nine is not feeling well today, so don't go to Fang Cui Xuan, just embroider in her own room, and then ask the girls to show it to my aunt."

"Grandmother loves me dearly. I hope Sister Liuli will thank grandma for me."

Liuli smiled and bent over Shi Yiqing, and went to Yiranju after leaving Ranyuezhi.

Shi Yiqing was about to embroider a handkerchief according to the pattern Mo Xian brought, when Shi Zeqian, who was supposed to be in Fang Cui Xuan, rushed in with a needle and thread, and smiled before saying anything: "Sister is really a kind-hearted girl, that kind of thing just happened this morning." Things, you have the spare time to embroider here."

"It's not a big deal, why keep it in mind for so long." Shi Yiqing smiled and welcomed Shi Zeqian in, and said, "It's just that my sister is not in Fangcuixuan, why did you come to me?"

Shi Zeqian sat down on the guest seat, holding a teacup and said: "My aunt and I asked for leave, and said that we were afraid that you would not be able to think about it alone, so we came to see you. It never occurred to me that you are more open than me. Someone who just got into trouble."

Shi Yiqing let her make fun of her, just smiled lightly and focused on embroidery with lowered eyes.

Shi Zeqian couldn't help but get complicated when she saw it, she lowered her eyes and bit her lips, and said gossipingly: "Sister, you should have heard about what happened on the tenth day of the lunar new year, right?"

Shi Yiqing carefully recalled the days that Shi Zeqian said, and asked Shi Zeqian with puzzled eyes.Shi Zeqian clapped her hands with hatred and said, "That's the day the old lady got seriously ill!"

When mentioning the serious illness in the first month, Shi Yiqing had some impressions, and could not help but belatedly let out an "ah", and there was no more to say, Shi Zeqian was anxious and fidgeted.

Shi Zeqian got up and went to sit down next to Shi Yiqing, and said in a deep voice, "I heard that you were there at the time. What's going on? Why did grandma fall ill?"

Shi Yiqing subconsciously frowned slightly, and said bluntly: "Sister, you can mention this in front of me, but don't say it out loud. Grandma has issued a strict order that no one is allowed to mention it. Anyone who mentions it will be fine." You will be punished."

Seeing that Shi Yiqing didn't say anything, Shi Zeqian hurriedly scratched her ears and scratched her cheek, and said, "You don't know, I sent someone to ask my grandmother, but no one would tell me! It's not like you don't know, it's not just my grandmother who was seriously ill from anger. In one scene, Aunt Cheng was beaten up quite a lot. I heard that if she hadn't taken the medicine in time, she might have died! The third aunt who should have spoken out about this had nothing to say, and Yun You, who was supposed to be by Aunt Cheng's side, also It's gone! Don't you think this thing is weird?"

Shi Yiqing looked at Shi Zeqian coldly, and said in a cold voice: "Fourth sister, I don't say anything, it's for your own good, if it's for your own good, don't ask too much, talk too much, sometimes you know too much, it's not good for you What good."

Seeing that she couldn't get any useful information from Shi Yiqing, Shi Zeqian got frustrated again, couldn't hold back her face, and dropped her sleeves and left Ranyuezhi without looking back.

Shi Yiqing watched Shi Zeqian's figure disappear at the door with cold eyes, turned her eyes to look at the pattern in her hand, and recalled that Shi Yunying was still worried about Shi Yunyou before she married and went to Yunzhou, but now, if there are no accidents, Shi Yiqing Yun You was afraid that she would never come back to Shi's house again.As for Shi Jingran, he will completely give up this pawn. At that time, if he wants to not rely on Shi Xuanxin, he may not succeed.

Just as he was lost in thought, Jianliu led the girl Ruonan to rush in and called out: "Miss, the old lady asked Ruonan to bring you something."

Seeing Ruo Nan holding a red lacquer box, Shi Yiqing asked casually, "What's inside?"

Put the red lacquer box on the round table, leaned over and said respectfully: "I don't know."

Shi Yiqing asked Jianliu to open the box, looked down, only to feel that the eyes were familiar, and then thinking about it, was startled into a cold sweat, stood up suddenly, pointed to the box and asked Ruonan: "Tell me, what is this?" From the old lady?"

She didn't know what Qi Wang Li Can sent to the old lady, but she had seen the gift Gao Qichang sent her under the guise of Qi Wang.

Ruo Nan lowered his head in panic.

Seeing that something was wrong, Jian Liu asked in a loud voice: "Miss is asking you something, why don't you answer it? Do you want me to call someone and turn you in front of the old lady to ask clearly?!"

Ruo Nan knelt on the ground with a "plop", kowtowed and said: "I dare not lie, this thing was indeed taken out from the old lady's room, and it was indeed given to the lady, it's just...just..."

Shi Yiqing's eyelids twitched, and he scolded, "Okay, you used to think that you were the son of a family, and you were the most loyal to your grandmother, but now you are carrying these unclear things behind your grandmother's back. How daring! Tell me, who told you to do this, and who gave this thing to grandma?!"

Shi Yiqing saw that Ruonan was still hesitating, so he went up and kicked him to the ground, beckoning for Jianliu to call the rough envoy, and was about to send Ruonan to Chunhui Hall.

Seeing Shi Yiqing's thunderous tricks, Ruo Nan lost his courage, and howled softly: "Your maidservant, my maidservant said! I just beg the miss to let the servant girl go, don't send the servant girl to the old lady!"

"Whether to send Chunhui Hall or not is up to you!" Shi Yiqing pointed at Ruonan's nose and shouted, "Hurry up!"

Ruo Nan was so frightened that he trembled all over, and he didn't dare to look directly at Shi Yiqing, and said with a trembling voice, "This thing... was sent by Miss Six."

Shi Xuanxin? !is her!
Shi Yiqing grinned, looked down at Ruonan, and said in a cold voice: "Why did Miss Six give me this thing for no reason? Don't lie anymore, hurry up and tell the truth!"

Ruonan only thought that Shi Yiqing didn't believe it, and he didn't know where the strength came from to break free from the shackles of the wives. He stepped forward and pulled Shi Yiqing's clothes, and howled in a split voice: "Young lady did not lie, Miss Nine believes me, my servant No lie! It was indeed sent by Miss Six! Miss Six heard that this item was for Miss Nine, and saw that the old lady refused to let it be sent, so she asked the servant to be a favor, saying that the lady would be grateful to the servant ! The servant did not lie, please believe me, miss!"

Shi Yiqing's eyebrows twitched, and she couldn't help asking anxiously: "Let me ask you, does Miss Six know that this thing was given to me? Who sent it? Why did the old lady hold it back and not give it to me?"

Ruonan said weepingly: "Because the second master edited a book for His Royal Highness Qi Wang a few days ago, His Highness sent many things back and forth in gratitude, and among them was this object, which was said to be given to Miss Jiu by name. Because there are no other ladies around, the old lady is not happy, and she even sealed the mouths of everyone, but she doesn't know where Miss Six learned about this, so she insists on sending it secretly, if the lady is happy If you accept it, you will ask your slaves to go back to her."

Shi Yiqing stared coldly at Ruonan, and said in a deep voice, "Could it be that you have made up your mind that I will definitely accept it?"

"At first, the servant didn't believe it either. Later Miss Six told the servant that the item was sent by the old lady, and Miss Nine would definitely accept it. Besides, even if Miss Nine didn't want to accept it, she would return it to the servant in private, and the servant Take it back, and say that Miss Nine will definitely not make a scene, so the slaves can rest assured!"

Shi Xuanxin, Shi Xuanxin, you are very calculating.

Shi Yiqing chuckled lightly, stood up and pulled Ruonan up from the ground with his own hands, and said in a pleasant manner: "Ruonan, you should know that the old lady will definitely not keep an eyeliner by her side, what will happen to you then? Guess you should know, too?"

She paused, seeing that Ruonan really softened his hands and feet in fear, and quickly comforted him and said, "However, don't worry, as long as you don't say anything, and I don't say anything, the people in Ranyuezhi will not say anything, and the old lady will not say anything." wouldn’t know about it. Wouldn’t you?”

Hearing this, Ruo Nan's eyes full of despair shot out a gleam of light, like the last straw grabbed by a drowning man, he tightly grabbed Shi Yiqing's sleeve, and begged in a low voice: "Miss Nine, please save this servant girl." One life!"

Shi Yiqing endured the impatience in his heart, and continued: "Don't worry, since I said that, I intend to help you. There is only one thing, you have to listen to me, is that okay?"

Ruo Nan froze all over, trembling and raised his eyes to see the faint smile on the corner of Shi Yiqing's mouth, fearful in his heart, nodded in panic, and agreed.

Shi Yiqing turned his eyes to look at the suddenly falling sun in the sky, his expression turned cold, and he said slowly: "When you go to reply to Miss Six, you just say that I accept it. As for the expression, you just say that I am more than shy. As for Besides, you can add oil and vinegar, just don't exaggerate it too much."

Shi Xuanxin, I didn't expect that you just got rid of Aunt Cheng and Shi Yunyou just now, and you can't wait to get rid of me, so let me see, what methods are you going to use to deal with me.

A dark cloud in the sky quickly covered the sun, and after a while, snowflakes fell profusely.Shi Yiqing called someone to invite Madam Xu back from the Qinghe Courtyard, and after dinner, she hurriedly unlocked the door and closed the door to thank the guests.

When she woke up the next day, the whole world was already white with snow. Shi Yiqing stretched out her hand to open the window, and pure white snowflakes flew in in the wind, and fell on her cheeks. She couldn't help trembling.

Seeing the smile on Shi Yiqing's face, Mo Xian, who was on duty, knew that she was in a good mood, and she also had a smile on her face, leading the girls in to serve her.

Because today is the day when Nanny Xu is leaving the mansion, Shi Yiqing went to the old lady's side to say something, instead of going to pay her respects today, she went to Aunt Mo's side to ask for leave, which was regarded as a free day.

Everyone in the mansion knows that Shi Yiqing values ​​filial piety the most, even the old lady praised her as a filial son, even if someone with impure thoughts wants to sneer, saying that Mother Xu is just a servant, but they are afraid of offending the old lady in this ploy Many people turned around and praised Shi Yiqing's character.

However, Aunt Xiao came to Ranyuezhi early in the morning, and she and Nanny Xu held hands and wept for a while, then Shi Yiqing came forward with a smile and said: "My mother is like this, but others will criticize her. The two of you sisters will never see each other again."

Aunt Xiao smiled with tears in her eyes, half coquettishly half blamed and said: "You child, you have the most unforgiving mouth."

A group of people chatted and laughed, and went to the corner gate. The carriages had already been harnessed, and they were just waiting for Mammy Xu to come out, get in the carriage and leave.Mother Xu was reluctant to let go, Aunt Xiao's eyes were full of tears, and the two sisters talked for a long time. Seeing that the sun was about to fall, the carriage drove out of the gate of Shi's house and disappeared around the corner in a blink of an eye.

Although Shi Yiqing would be able to see Nanny Xu when he sneaked out of the mansion in a few days, but seeing the parting atmosphere in front of him, his eyes could not help turning red, and he felt more and more empty in his heart, as if a corner was missing.

Aunt Xiao wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, and asked Shi Yiqing worriedly: "Tell me, Madam Xu is old, and after leaving Shi's house, will she have a bad life?"

Shi Yiqing hurriedly persuaded: "Don't worry too much, Mother Xu will take care of herself."

Aunt Xiao sighed and looked in the direction where Nanny Xu left, it seemed that Nanny Xu could still change her mind and come back to Shi's house with the carriage.

Seeing her like this, Shi Yiqing sighed in his heart, persuaded Aunt Xiao repeatedly, and then sent Aunt Xiao back to Qingheyuan.

After Shi Yiqing had persuaded Aunt Xiao, she turned around to dye Yuetiao, and saw that Jianliu was rummaging through clothes from boxes and cabinets, subconsciously took a second look, and saw that one of them was the cloak that Shi Yiqin had broken in a fight with Shi Yiyao, she couldn't help being puzzled He asked, "Why do you still keep this dress?"

Jianliu hurriedly replied: "Nurse said, this cloak can still be worn through seams, so I didn't let it be thrown away, so I took it to mend it, and the servant girl saw that it looked the same as when it was intact before, so she put it away, today Turn over the bottom of the box and see it."

Shi Yiqing stared at the cloak for a moment, and after a while, he stepped forward to touch the foot on the opening, and asked softly: "You mean, Madam Xu made this?"

Seeing that Shi Yiqing was in the wrong mood, Jianliu didn't dare to go forward to ask, so he could only answer honestly: "Yes."

Tears instantly rolled down Shi Yiqing's cheeks, so startled that Jianliu hurried forward to help Shi Yiqing sit nearby.Shi Yiqing leaned against Jianliu, choked up and said, "I don't know when Mammy made it, I don't even know."

She only thought that Shi Yiqing was missing Nanny Xu, so she said a few words of persuasion softly to calm her emotions, but she didn't know that Shi Yiqing was thinking about the scene of begging for life outside.

Shi Yiqing has been a human being for two generations, and she thinks that there are some people and some things that she has a clear conscience.Only Grandma Xu, she owed Grandma Xu two lifetimes, even if she took her life now, it would not be able to repay the kindness that Grandma Xu wholeheartedly cared for.

But now, Shi Yiqing knows that he is doing it for the good of Nanny Xu, and he can't bear to see her in trouble between the Shi family and the Xiao family, and is even more afraid that she will be terrified when she sees her life. let her out.But now that Nanny Xu left just now, as night fell, Shi Yiqing only felt that his heart was throbbing and it was unbearable.

Reluctantly calming down, Shi Yiqing's eyes fell on the cloak hanging on the screen, he couldn't help softening his expression, and said to Jianliu: "After all, this is a thought left to me by my mother. I don't want this dress in the future. Put her at the bottom of the box."

She responded, and seeing that Shi Yiqing had improved a lot, she got up and called the girl who was waiting outside, and waited on Shi Yiqing to change into her regular clothes, put her hair in a simple bun, washed her face, took off her shoes and socks, and went to the The kang fell into a deep sleep.
