The concubine will not accompany you: General, Madam ran away again

Chapter 17 The boudoir
Mu Shuyao followed Du Juan with Huarui and Xiaofang, and went to Qingyuan, the yard prepared by Mrs. Wang for her.

Along the way, Mu Shuyao asked Du Juan to talk to Huarui, and found out that Qingyuan used to be the residence of a concubine of Mu Yongnian. Yongnian fell in love with her, and despite Wang's objection, accepted her as a concubine.

For a while, Mu Yongnian doted on Qing'er so much that she asked Wang to tidy up a garden for her, but Qing'er died inexplicably within a few days after living in the garden, so Qing'er was vacated.

"The master treated Qing'er very well back then, and Madam did her best when tidying up the garden. Qing'er has been gone for so many years, and never let anyone set foot there." Du Juan said enviously: "The servant once went to the garden secretly I have seen that although it is not as good as the courtyard of the madam and the aunts, it is still small and exquisite. Unexpectedly, when the second miss came back, the madam asked someone to clean it up.

Mu Shuyao nodded, with a faint smile on her face: "Mother is generous and will not treat me wrong."

But he snorted disapprovingly in his heart: Is it really generous?Mrs. Wang knew in her heart that the death of Qing'er was probably related to her good mother who had a bodhisattva face.

After walking along the garden for a long time, Mu Shuyao didn't see any sign of Du Juan stopping, so she asked timidly, "Sister Du Juan, how far is it?"

A hint of impatience flashed in Du Juan's eyes, but it quickly disappeared. A stiff smile appeared on her face, and she pointed to the small path in front of her and said, "Walk to the end of this path, pass the Moon Gate, and then pass through a small garden. It’s just a few steps away.”

"Second miss doesn't know, Qing'er likes to be quiet, so I asked my wife for a quiet and remote place." Du Juan explained: "Madam thinks that place is too remote, so she specially asked someone to plant a osmanthus grove. In autumn, Second Miss will know that the garden is well."

Mu Shuyao nodded, her eyes full of sarcasm: I knew the garden was ready in autumn, so now the garden is basically a deserted garden, maybe it's waiting for her to clean it up by herself!
Of course she wouldn't say that.

Unexpectedly, this green garden is quite big by visual inspection. Although there are only two people entering the courtyard, it is already a great favor for a concubine who is not even an aunt.

It's just that there are a few osmanthus trees planted in a mess in this yard. It's not in season at this time, and only the green leaves of the trees can be seen.

There are still a few plants of purple bamboo and some flowers and plants planted around the yard, but they have not been taken care of for a long time, and the flowers and plants are also a bit messy, and there are even some weeds that are as tall as a person.

At this time, there were a few rough women pulling weeds in the yard, and the weeds were basically cleaned up, and they were piled aside waiting to be dealt with.

Seeing that Mu Shuyao frowned slightly, Du Juan smiled and said, "This garden has been unoccupied for a few days, Madam is telling them to clean up the yard, and wait for Miss Second to come back to see what flowers and plants you like."

Mu Shuyao smiled lightly again: As expected of a person trained by the Wang family, she has such a fast response ability, obviously she didn't have time to tidy up, but when she came to this girl's mouth, she deliberately waited for her to live in, and then planted flowers and plants according to her own preferences.

Thinking about it this way, Mu Shuyao felt that the girl just mentioned the dead Qing'er unintentionally, maybe it wasn't because she was caught out, but because Wang was using her mouth to warn herself that if she wanted to be alone There are many ways to die in the mansion.

After thinking about this point, Mu Shuyao felt a little interest in her heart. It seems that the days in Shangshu Mansion will not be boring in the future.

There are five rooms in the middle, two wing rooms on the east and west sides, a corridor connecting the wing rooms and the main house, and four side rooms, with a small kitchen next to it.

Among the five principal rooms, the largest one is Mu Shuyao's bedroom.

When Du Juan graciously stepped forward to open the curtain, Mu Shuyao was stunned when she stepped into the room.

Although the yard is still messy, the house has been cleaned up. There are beds, cabinets, tables and chairs and a screen with flower and bird patterns in the room.

There was still a light blue embroidered curtain hanging on the bed, and there was an incense burner beside the bed. At this time, there was faint smoke floating on the top of the stove, and a strange fragrance wafted through the whole room.

If you ignore the weird smell, this room is a standard boudoir daughter's room.

Before Du Juan could open her mouth, Mu Shuyao covered her mouth and nose with her hand and coughed lightly.

Seeing this, Du Juan couldn't help swallowing her words, and pretending to caress Mu Shuyao's back, while asking, "What's wrong with Second Miss?"

"I, I may be allergic to this incense." Mu Shuyao made a uncomfortable look, "I never smelled any incense in the countryside before, and Yang Rili is used to the smell of grass in the fields. , I am not used to this incense, please trouble Sister Du Juan to put out this incense!"

When Du Juan heard this, contempt flashed in her eyes, but she extinguished the incense as she said, and even opened the window to let the fragrance in the room dissipate, but she cursed inwardly: Dude!
On the face, it didn't show at all, and he still asked with concern: "Miss, are you better now?"

"It's better, thank you sister!" Mu Shuyao still pretended to be her little white rabbit, watching Huarui and Xiaofang behind her secretly roll their eyes, and said that Sister Shuyao (Yaoyao) really knows how to pretend!

Over there, Du Juan said with a regretful face: "This is a high-quality spice that Madam took out from the storeroom. I didn't expect Miss..."

Mu Shuyao smiled awkwardly at her: "Sister, don't blame me. Shuyao grew up in the countryside and really can't smell this kind of spice. If my sister likes it, just take it."

"How can I do that? If the madam asks, the servant will not be able to explain." Du Juan knew the secret of the spice, but she didn't expect this wild girl to be allergic, but if the madam knew that she didn't order it for her, she would definitely put her sold.

Turning his eyes, he persuaded softly: "Second Miss, I don't think you are allergic, but you seem to be unaccustomed to smelling it. Maybe it's because you put too much spices today, so you smell uncomfortable. Tomorrow, I will give you an answer." You put less, you will get used to it after smelling it."

There was a coldness in Mu Shuyao's eyes, but it was fleeting, and she got used to it, and her body became weaker and weaker, and then she lingered on the sick bed until she died?The law is quite beautiful, but I have to ask this girl if she is willing to cooperate!

It's just that she hasn't revealed it now, she just pretends to be a country bumpkin entering the city, walking around the house to have a look, and sometimes reaching out to touch it.

After a closer look, she could see that something was wrong, so she said, how could Mrs. Wang be so kind and clean up the house so well for her.
