Reborn Concubine Queen

Chapter 41
Shi Yiqing turned to look at Jianliu, and said, "Xianliu, go and get my most important boxes and give them to Bai Zhi for safekeeping, so you don't have to worry about them."

This is a very important job in the lady's room. Because Xiu looked anxious, he wanted to remind him, but because Bai Zhi was here, he hesitated to let Jianliu speak, but saw that Jianliu answered calmly, turned around and called Someone fetched those boxes.Yinxiu was taken aback for a moment, and then he didn't speak again.

Bai Zhi looked at Shi Yiqing in surprise. She didn't know what kind of tricks Shi Yiqing was playing, and she felt a little uneasy. She turned her eyes to comfort herself and said, "She's just a concubine, and she doesn't want to do it for the sake of her aunt and wife." You will entrust yourself with such a heavy responsibility.

Thinking of this, Bai Zhi's face immediately blossomed with joy, looking at the boxes in Jianliu's hands, imagining that if she did what the third lady ordered, what good things would the third lady reward her with, the expression on her face The smile couldn't stop being bright.

Bai Zhi hurriedly snatched the key from Jianliu's hand, as if afraid of Shi Yiqing's repentance, she said with a smile: "Miss, don't worry, even if this servant loses her life, she will definitely not let anything in the box go wrong!"

Shi Yiqing nodded with a smile, then turned to practice calligraphy at the desk beside him, and occasionally looked up to see Bai Zhi checking things in the box, before she finished checking, the old lady sent someone to measure Shi Yiqing's clothes almost there.

Bai Zhi hurriedly took the things Shi Yiqing handed to her last night, opened it immediately, and continued to check it without paying much attention, but she never thought that Yinxiu beside her made an angry voice, and she poked her head to look, but saw that it should have been put aside in good condition. The brocades in the box were all destroyed now.

Jianliu leaned forward, looked at the box full of broken steps in astonishment, and asked Bai Zhi in a loud voice: "What's going on here?"

Yinxiu, who was squatting in front of the box, looked at Bai Zhi angrily, and said, "Bai Zhi! How do you look at things! Miss's things, you dare to be sloppy!"

Bai Zhi stared blankly at the messy brocade, as if it was bitten wantonly by something.She subconsciously stretched out her hand to find a good horse in the broken steps, but found that the brocades were all destroyed!Bai Zhixue's face turned pale, her hands and feet softened and she knelt on the ground: "How could this happen, how could this happen?"

As she said that, she thought of pleading with Shi Yiqing, and hurriedly walked towards Shi Yiqing, bent down and kowtowed desperately: "Miss, miss, you have to believe me, you believe me, I didn't do this! I really didn't do it!" Yes! I don’t know, this servant really doesn’t know what’s going on! Someone is going to kill me, Miss, someone is going to kill me!”

Shi Yiqing threw a pen, walked quickly to the box to check, saw the tragic situation inside, couldn't help frowning, looked impatiently at Bai Zhi on the ground, and said: "Mother Xu, ask someone to imprison Bai Zhi for me first." !"

When Bai Zhi heard this, she just wanted to rush forward and grab her horns, but she was suppressed by Madam Xu who found out earlier in the morning, unable to move, she could only howl and say: "Miss, Miss Si, you have no right Dispose of me! I belong to the wife, I belong to the third wife! You have no right to dispose of me!"

Nanny Xu pulled Bai Zhi to stand up from the ground, frowned and looked at the dumbfounded Jianliu and Yinxiu, and said anxiously: "What are you doing standing there? Ask the mother who is serving outside to come in and get this lunatic away for me." , don’t dirty the lady’s eyes! Hurry up!”

Jian Liu was the first to come back to his senses, rushed out in a hurry, called two big-armed and round women to come in, and dragged the struggling Bai Zhi to leave Shi Yiqing's room.

Bai Zhi was still yelling endlessly: "Miss Si, I belong to Madam Third, you have no rights, you have no rights!"

Shi Yiqing was full of anger, waving his sleeves to pass Bai Zhi and was about to go out, without looking back, he said: "Then when I report back to grandma and mother, I'll see if they can take care of your business!"

All the way to Chunhui Hall, Shi Yiqing's footsteps never stopped, she broke in with tears in her eyes, and knelt down in front of the old lady: "Grandmother, Qing'er's satin was torn to pieces by the third sister's dog..."

The old lady was leaning on the soft pillow to tease the cat. Hearing this, she subconsciously froze for a moment. Just as she was about to frown and ask carefully, the cat in her arms jumped out and passed through the hall. Run away.The old lady eagerly asked the maid below to bring the cat back, but the maid guarding the colorful parrot over there stumbled in, knelt on the ground and stammered, "It's not good, old lady, it's not good Already!"

"Shut up, what's the point of yelling? What's wrong, tell me quickly."

The maid yelled with a snow-white face: "Madam, I don't know when the pug dog of the third lady of the third room broke into our yard, took advantage of the time when the servants went out, jumped up, and gave the colorful parrot to... …Give……"

The old lady stood up abruptly, suddenly a burst of dizziness hit her, she limply fell to the coffee table, swept the white lotus colored porcelain tea bowl on it to the ground, and smashed it to pieces.

There was chaos in the Chunhui Hall, Shi Yiqing stood in front of the soft couch and waited on the old lady, and said with an ugly face: "Grandmother, your health is important."

The old lady cried and mourned her wrinkled face, regained her senses, pointed at the maidservant on the ground and scolded: "You useless thing, you know that beast is so bold, you dare to let it break in and kill you!" I asked you to come to my side, not to let you watch Xiao Qi being eaten by that dog! Let me ask you, where were you when that dog ate my Xiao Qi? "

The maid cried bitterly and said: "At that time, the slave girl suddenly felt anxious, so she asked Lu'er who was passing by to take care of her. Who knew that Lu'er was suddenly called by the third lady to find the starling, and no one was watching the parrot. That's why... that's why the starling found a gap and ate Xiaoqi. The servant made a mistake, the servant is guilty, please punish the old lady!"

Zhu Xi, who was waiting on the sidelines, couldn't bear to see her former sisters being punished like this. He squatted in front of the old lady with ginseng soup, and said in a deep voice: "Old lady, calm down and drink some ginseng soup. Old lady, servant girl Let me boldly say that this is not a girl's business. Think about it, no one in this house knows how important Xiao Qi is to you. This girl was ordered by you to serve Xiao Qi. Over the years, she has also done her best , have you ever been slack in the slightest? If it wasn't for Miss San's dog..."

Shi Yiqing looked coldly at Zhu Xi's hesitation to speak, and thought to himself, this is what Zhu Xi can say, if it were anyone, if the old lady came back to her senses, she would yell and scold something sobering .

The old lady became more and more sad, and she fell on the soft pillow and wept bitterly. Everyone was persuading her, when she heard a commotion outside the door, and the girl who raised the curtain walked quickly into the room and said in a panic: "Old lady, old lady, go and see Come on, Miss San's starling is chasing your cat all over the yard!"

The people in the room were startled by these words, Zhu Xi hurriedly stuffed the ginseng soup in Shi Yiqing's hands, and ran out hurriedly with the hem of her skirt, ignoring any etiquette, followed the girl who came to report the news to the room broke outside.

After the old lady was shocked, she was furious, she threw her beloved jade finger on the ground viciously, gasped and said in a nasty voice: "Okay, that's really good, it's bullying me, an old woman! I see you You are all tired of working, and I want my old woman to give you some fun!"

Following the broken jade all over the floor, Shi Yiqing lowered his eyes to hide the flash of coldness in his eyes, pretending to be cautious and accompanied behind the soft couch, hesitant to speak but refused to come to the old lady to serve her.

It didn't take long before Zhu Xi came back inside with the prickly cat in his arms, handed the cat to the girl who was waiting on the side with a livid face, then walked quickly to the soft couch, and took the ginseng soup from Shi Yiqing's hand , Said: "Madam, you should drink more or less."

The old lady looked down along the line of sight, and in her sight, there were several horizontal cuts on the backs of Zhu Xi's hands holding the porcelain bowl. She felt distressed for a moment, and asked eagerly: "What's going on? But Did the cat bully you?"

Zhu Xi shook his head with a slight smile, and said flatly: "As long as the old lady drinks this ginseng soup, the servant will tell you, okay?"

The old lady let out a deep breath, drank the ginseng soup with the bamboo breathing hand, waved her hands tiredly, and said to Shi Yiqing who was behind her: "Qing'er, your grandmother is old and useless, there are some things I can't control it, but there are too many people in this mansion who want to bully Zhu Xi, you have to help her, okay?"

Shi Yiqing bypassed the soft couch and knelt in front of the old lady, and said seriously: "Grandmother, Zhuxi has served you for many years, and you have already treated her like your own granddaughter. Isn't your own granddaughter Qing'er's own sister? Qing'er How can I not help my own sister?"

The old lady nodded in satisfaction, closed her eyes slightly and said: "I'm tired, you all go down. Zhuxi, you go down too, you don't need to serve here, go rest."

Zhu Xi nodded in agreement, and handed over the ginseng soup in his hand to the serving maid, and then he and Shi Yiqing walked out of the house, walked around the corridor, and entered a side room.

Shi Yiqing looked at the somewhat simple room, and said with a half-smile: "I can't tell, my sister is so simple."

Zhu Xi poured a cup of tea and handed it to Shi Yiqing, and said indifferently: "I was born in poverty, and I have never been extravagant, so naturally I can't be rich."

Holding a teacup, Shi Yiqing sat on the wooden chair beside him uninvited, and smiled slightly: "My sister has been with my grandmother for many years, and I think she has always saved a lot. How can she still be poor? Could it be that my sister is also a money addict, It is only allowed to enter, not allowed to go out, so it will be like this?"

She paused for a moment, then suddenly realized and said: "No, my sister is a smart person, so it should be even more so. Only when all the money is gone can I call today's response. Sister, this sister should learn from you."

Zhu Xi walked up to Shi Yiqing and sat down, looked down at the teacup in his hand, smiled brightly, and said, "If it wasn't for Miss Fourth's good idea, if everything was done right, and this series of things happened, I think It's delusional for that person to want to escape."

Shi Yiqing smiled tacitly with lowered eyes: "There is one thing, I am very surprised, according to your indifferent temperament, I am afraid that as long as you don't keep your own safety interests in mind, you will not take care of it. Are you all cooperating with me to deal with that person?"

"You also said that as long as it doesn't involve my problems, I generally don't care about them." Zhu Xi put down the teacup in his hand, lowered his cold eyes to look at the scratches on the back of his hand, and said indifferently, "But if Just mind my business, I won't let her have any good fruit to eat."

Shi Yiqing enlarged the smile on his cheeks, held the teacup to hide the gloom in his eyes, and said slowly: "That's why I hit it off with you, sister."
