Even Xiuxiu dragged her body that had not yet healed to Yao Keqing, "Back then, it was the young grandmother who rewarded the slave and maid with ten taels of silver, so that the slave and the maid could retrieve my brother from the mass grave and buy a coffin to bury my brother! When the slave and maid went to burn incense on my brother's sacrifice day this year, my brother's grave was already overgrown with weeds and thorns, and next year the slave and maid might only be able to look at my brother through the thorns......
Xiuxiu couldn't hold back tears after speaking, Yao Keqing helped her up and said, "I have already reported your brother to the newspaper, and when the old lady arranges it, you can buy a better coffin, and then buy decent clothes for your brother to change, since those buried in the Zhongyi Garden are all loyal servants, then they must be buried decently!"
Xiuxiu nodded again and again, a little speechless with excitement, "More...... Thanks a lot...... Young grandma!"
Yao Keqing patted her lovingly, "You are not in good health, just rest more, I will let others help you with these things when the time comes, you can just watch from the side!"
"Thank you...... Since my brother left, no one has been so kind to the slave and maid......" Xiuxiu's tears flowed again.
Yao Keqing's heart moved, and while wiping her tears, he asked, "Isn't there still your sister-in-law?"
Xiuxiu seemed to be a little embarrassed, as if she didn't know how to speak, Yao Keqing also urged her, just looked at her quietly, and after a long time, Xiuxiu's voice with an uncertain tone sounded, "Sister-in-law...... Sister-in-law I don't know how to describe it, she ...... me It's really good, but it seems to be separated by a layer of something, I always think that she and I should be the closest people in the world, but my sister-in-law doesn't seem to think so, my sister-in-law is not only to me, but also to her mother's family, I always feel that she is not as close to us as we are to her, which makes people feel weird...... My sister-in-law didn't allow me to call her sister-in-law in front of people, and asked me to call her Aunt Chun like others, but it's just a title, is it that important? As for the difference, is it so clear? And everyone knows that she is my sister-in-law, and it's very strange if she doesn't call her, and when the slave maid first changed her words, the people around her looked at the slave and maid with very different eyes, and the slave and maid felt very uncomfortable......
Yao Keqing's heart said that although Xiuxiu looked simple, but her heart was still clear, this Chun'er was really a traitor inside, and she hadn't found out before, but fortunately, it was not too late to find out now, so she didn't say much, but only comforted Xiuxiu again, and told her to cultivate her life and wait for the news from the Guogong Mansion.
It's just that when Xiuxiu was leaving, Yao Keqing suddenly remembered something, so he asked, "Did your brother give Xiuxiu something as a token when he was married?"
Xiuxiu replied, "Yes, I gave a pair of jade earrings, which were left by the slave's mother, and said that they would be given to the future daughter-in-law, but the slave and maid have never seen the sister-in-law wear ......."
Yao Keqing nodded and waved Xiuxiu away.
Xiuxiu walked out of the main room and met Chun'er holding a piece of cloth under the porch, Chun'er saw Xiuxiu and said in surprise, "When did you come back?" Last time, the young grandmother said that she would send you to Zhuangzi to recuperate, I thought I would never see you again......"
At that time, Xiuxiu went to Zhuangzi in a very bad situation, and everyone thought that she was more than lucky, and Chun'er also thought so.
"Sister-in-law...... Aunt Chun, I ...... I just came back!" Xiuxiu said that in front of Yao Keqing just now, and when she came out, she met Chun'er, who was too young to do it as if nothing had happened, and her face was a little embarrassed for a while.
Chun'er seemed to be still immersed in the joy of Xiuxiu's safe return, and didn't notice Xiuxiu's strange appearance, "It's good to come back! You only came back after hearing about Zhongyi Garden, right?"
Xiuxiu nodded, and listened to Chun'er continue, "I was also about to tell the young grandmother, I can't let your brother be buried in the nameless wasteland like this!"
Your brother, not your husband!
Xiuxiu seems to understand why she always feels that she can't get close to her sister-in-law, because her sister-in-law never seems to think that she is her sister-in-law, not her brother's wife......
Xiuxiu was immersed in her own thoughts, and she didn't hear a word of what Chun'er said next, until Chun'er raised her voice and called her, "Xiuxiu?"
"What's wrong?" Xiuxiu looked dazed.
Chun'er sighed lovingly, "You are just recovering from a serious illness, you shouldn't be too tired, go back and rest quickly! I'll make you your favorite sugar cake at night! I'll send a piece of material to the young grandmother!"
Xiuxiu nodded, separated from Chun'er, and walked to her room, Chun'er looked at Xiuxiu's back for a long time, and a complicated look flashed in her eyes, but it finally turned cold.
Chun'er took the material to Yao Keqing, "This is the material you want, but this?"
Yao Keqing glanced at it and nodded, "This is for you!"
"Give...... For slaves?" Chun'er was surprised.
"For you!" Yao Keqing repeated, "Xiuxiu just came to me and said that she wanted to bury her brother in Zhongyi Garden, and I promised her! In the early years, her brother was in a hurry to be buried, and the coffins of the shroud were all inferior, and she just took the opportunity to change the good one, you can take this material to make a new shroud for her brother! You are his fiancée, and you comb yourself for him, and you will not marry for life, it is most suitable for you to do it!"
The fabric on Chun'er's hand instantly became extremely hot, and she almost couldn't hold it.
"What? don't you want to?" Seeing that Chun'er didn't answer for a long time, Yao Keqing asked as if he was puzzled.
Chun'er lowered her head, and when she raised it again after a while, her face was already stained with tears, her eyes were full of pain and sorrow, and she said sadly, "Grandma Xie!"
Then he was about to retreat with the fabric, but was stopped by Yao Keqing, "Wait......"
Chun'er turned around when she heard this, "Does the young grandmother have anything else to order?"
Yao Keqing groaned, "What did Xiuxiu eat when she was recuperating?"
Chun'er's heart sank, but her face was always calm, and she made a thoughtful look, and only replied after a while, "It's all light food! It's all sent from the kitchen, and I don't remember which dishes the slave maid has! But there is a problem with the food, and Xiuxiu has not been able to recover for a long time?"
Yao Keqing nodded solemnly, "Indeed, after careful examination, the imperial doctor found that Xiuxiu had eaten a diet that was compatible with the decoction she was taking, which caused her condition to worsen repeatedly!"
Chun'er's face immediately showed a look of guilt, and she blamed herself, "It's all the slaves and maids who are not good, and they don't even think that the problem is in the food! If the slaves and maids were more careful, she wouldn't have to suffer so many crimes......"
The more Chun'er spoke, the more she blamed herself, and finally she had some tears, Yao Keqing watched her cry coldly, and watched her find herself under the stairs, "Fortunately, she is fine, otherwise the slave's sin will be great!"
"Yes! Fortunately, Xiu Xiufu has a big life!"
It's not just Xiuxiu!
