Reborn Concubine Queen

Chapter 180 Past and Present Life (2)

The two of them talked like this for a while, and He Mu, who was sleeping in the outer room, heard someone talking inside, woke up in fright, got out of bed and went into the inner room, and suddenly saw Mrs. Qi Ruan Cigu sitting in the room. With a pale complexion, he said in a panic, "Madam, Madam Qi, why didn't you call your servant over to serve you?"

Ruan Cigu said with a smile: "I see that you are very tired and sleepy, so I didn't call you. Anyway, there is nothing serious, so I let you go to sleep. I will talk with your wife for a while. .”

He Mu leaned over to thank Cigu Ruan, saw that Shi Yiqing and the two of them hadn't washed up, got up and went out, and woke up Mo Wu to wait for the girl to come in to serve her.Mother Xu heard He Mu said that Aunt Ruan was also there, so she came in to talk with her.

Nanny Xu found some half-true jokes in Beijing, and when Ruan Cigu and the others laughed, Shi Yiqing saw Xing'er, who was supposed to be decocting medicine in the kitchen, rushing into the house to look for her. Wu went out, and after a while Mo Wu came into the room with a complicated expression, Shi Yiqing asked what happened.

When Mo Wu saw Shi Yiqing came to ask, he hesitated for a long time before answering with his head down: "Xing'er just said that Master...has returned to Beijing!"

Shi Yiqing got up and walked quickly to Mo Wu, and asked hoarsely, "What did you say? Say it again? Who?"

Mo Wu was frightened by Shi Yiqing's appearance, and he was stunned for a while before he came back to his senses, and said, "Go back to Ma'am, Xing'er said, yes, it's the master."

Ruan Cigu saw that Shi Yiqing's expression was not right, she stood up and walked over, and asked softly, "Sister, what happened?"

Shi Yiqing took a breath unsteadily, stepped forward and grabbed Mo Wu's arm, and asked anxiously, "Where did you know about this?"

"Go back to Madam, it was Xing'er... Xing'er told me!"

"Call Xing'er in!"

Mo Wu nodded in agreement, touched his sore wrist, and hurried down to call Xing'er in.That Xing'er came in right after Mo Wu, seeing Shi Yiqing looking at her, her legs gave way and she knelt on the ground.

Seeing this, Mother Xu couldn't help frowning, and said in a deep voice: "Xing'er, what are you doing, Madam just asked you to come in and answer, not to punish you! Get up, don't make others laugh!"

Xing'er responded, stood up softly, bowed and stood aside with her hands down to serve.

Shi Yiqing let out a breath secretly, called Xing'er to come forward, and said in a deep voice: "Xing'er, let me ask you, did you tell Mo Wu that the master has returned to Beijing?"

Xing'er hung her head and replied: "Returning to Madam, yes."

"How did you know, who told you?"

Xing'er didn't dare to raise her head, and replied in a low voice: "It belongs to Xiaosan's family, and she told the maid about it."

Shi Yiqing asked suspiciously: "Little San's? Was it the waiter in the farmhouse? You still have contact with her? How did you know her? How could she know about the master?"

Xing'er hurriedly raised her head and said: "Ma'am, this servant is not very familiar with Xiaosan's family, there was only one time when Madam was ill a few days ago, and this servant went to fetch water in the yard, accidentally bumped into her and wet her shoes and socks. He took a pair of new shoes that the mother gave her a few years ago to wear. The young man from the third family saw that the cloth pattern was very good, and thought that the servants were serving by the wife's side, and only when the servants had money in their hands, did they get close to the servants everywhere. This morning, the surreptitious members of the Xiaosan’s family sent people to look for their servants, and told them that there was joy in the city, and that the soldiers who had gone to Mount Qimen to suppress the bandits had returned to Beijing, without saying a word. The servants originally wanted to directly I came to tell Madam, I was afraid there was something false in it, so I went to Sister Mo Wu to talk to her, and I never thought, I never wanted to be seen by Madam."

After hearing this, Mother Xu hurriedly looked at Mo Wu and asked, "Mo Wu, is this the case?"

Mo Wu bent down and replied: "Returning to Ma'am, the mother's words are like this. Xing'er said that the master came back, and the slaves were also shocked. We are imprisoned here, but no one knows that, the master How did you come here to look for Madam? Later, the servant asked Xing'er carefully, and Xing'er said that she came back from suppressing the bandits, so she probably didn't know Madam was here."

Mother Xu got up from the chair impatiently, and said eagerly: "Madam, since the master has returned to Beijing, we will leave here just around the corner!"

"Nurse, you are confused!" Shi Yiqing shouted with a sullen expression, "Don't forget, where is this place! Although this is not the imperial palace in Beijing, we are imprisoned here after all. Let us know what happened!"

He Mu thought about it and said: "Ma'am, what do you mean, there is fraud in this?"

Shi Yiqing propped his head and frowned and said: "I don't know if I'm cheating or not, but this matter is indeed a bit strange. You all listen, this matter is not allowed to be spread without my order. If it is discovered by me or the mother, One counts as one, twenty boards on the spot are merciless!"

After a pause, Shi Yiqing got up and looked at the maids and servants who were waiting in the room, and said in a deep voice: "Although you and I are imprisoned here together, I am still your master and your wife after all. If you recognize me, you can take your own deed of sale to find the people in charge here, and see if they won't allow you to leave. If you still miss the old relationship, miss me as the master, and still believe in me, then stay here. I guarantee that you will return to Feishui Town safely! Is it clear enough?!"

Everyone dropped their hands in response.

After the girls and servants in the room dispersed, Shi Yiqing sat leaning against the bedpost with her forehead, which was becoming more and more painful, her mind was racing, but she couldn't find an outlet for her many doubts, which made her even more entangled.

Seeing that Shi Yiqing closed his eyes and frowned tightly, Ruan Cigu walked forward lightly, and said, "Sister, why am I getting more and more confused, who are you guys?"

Shi Yiqing opened his eyes and looked at Ruan Cigu who was full of doubts. After hesitating for a moment, he stood up and said in a hoarse voice: "Sister Cigu, I'm the one who got you involved. Now you and I have fallen to this point, but I still hide it from you. I'm really sorry."

"Don't say sorry, I can't stand you." Ruan Cigu hurriedly said, "I just want you to explain clearly, who are you and what happened?"

Shi Yiqing thought for a while, then sighed and said: "Sister, it's not that I don't want to tell you, but I really have unspeakable difficulties! How about this, sister, I'm afraid there are ears in the partition here. When we escape safely, I'll take care of you." I will explain it clearly to you!"

Ruan Cigu saw how to press Shi Yiqing, but she refused to explain the situation, so she got up with a sigh, and went back to her room with the servant girl.
