Chapter 2: Master and Servant
With the departure of Situ Jin and his party, Situ Jiao's body in the room also completely softened, as if there was no backbone, and he hung his head and slumped to the ground along the wall.
It's just a little internal force, and it already makes her feel that she has no strength to move her fingers.
Alas, although he has worked hard to improve his strength value in the past year, this small body is still too fragile in the end.
Outside the room, Li's mother's neat voice came to order: "Everyone go back to the room to tidy up, apply medicine to each other, and then take their own responsibilities." Lumei: You distribute the ointment to everyone, Qingzhu, can you go to the kitchen to see if Miss's medicine is ready? ”
With a few responses, there was a sound of chaotic footsteps outside the door, and it was completely quiet.
The door was pushed open from the outside, and there was a rush of footsteps.
Situ Jiao didn't need to look up to know that this was Li's mother's voice, she knew that she could bluff Situ Jin with what she did just now, but she couldn't hide it from Li's mother.
What's more, the movement outside the room is not all Situ Jiao's masterpiece, she just can't see her maid-in-law being bullied by Situ Jin, so she raised her hand to play the role of the beginning, and the back naturally depends on Li's mother's seemingly unintentional dance.
If it weren't for the secret help of Li's mother in the crowd outside the room, with Situ Jiao's current internal strength, she would not have been able to scare Situ Jin at all, let alone scare Situ Jin and his gang out of this courtyard.
Mother Li's footsteps seemed to go straight to the inside, but soon the footsteps of "stepping on the footsteps" came to Situ Jiao's side.
Immediately, Mother Li's voice like a sigh and anger came into Situ Jiao's ears: "Miss, how can you use your internal strength in vain!" The slaves and maids have rough skin and thick meat, so what's the harm in giving them two blows? If the young lady has something, how can the old slave explain it to the lady? ”
With the sound, a pair of rough hands reached under Situ Jiao's armpits, and with just one skill, they picked Situ Jiao up from the ground.
Situ Jiao leaned her head on Li's mother's arms and comforted Li's mother with a barely audible voice: "Mom, don't worry, I'm fine, just take a rest." ”
"Miss, don't use your internal force again, this little internal force that you have condensed in the dantian with great difficulty in the past year can't withstand such a toss from Miss." Although Mother Li said reproachful words, her tone was full of deep distress.
"Okay, next time without my mother's consent, Jiaolan will not use her internal strength again. Mom, don't be angry. Situ Jiao naturally understood Li's mother's thoughts.
Li's mother put Situ Jiao on the bed and covered her with a thin quilt, while she sat down on the small vulture next to the bed and pulled Situ Jiao's hand to take the pulse.
After a while, Li's mother's face improved slightly.
Although Situ Jiao used strong internal force, fortunately it was not a big problem for Situ Jiao's body, she was so weak now that she was probably put away by the wind and cold, and now Situ Jiao's pulse is weak, but it doesn't hurt.
However, after listening to Situ Jiaoshang's perfunctory words, Mother Li couldn't help but make a blank face, glared at Situ Jiao and said, "There is no next time!" ”
"Okay, everything is up to Mom!" Situ Jiao smiled lightly, looking obedient and well-behaved.
Mother Li straightened her waist and shook her head helplessly, her eyes fixed on the child she had brought up, and all kinds of emotions of pity and spoiling came to her heart.
Since the young lady on the bed was pushed down and injured by the second miss last time, this year has really been different from before.
If it was before, where would she dare to make a move?
Of course, Situ Jiao in the past has always been reluctant to learn martial arts, although every year General Han Lao will come to the other courtyard to stretch her muscles and bones and inject internal force into her, but he has not been able to gather internal force in her dantian.
In the past year, the young lady who has changed sex has worked hard every day, and her original roots are good, so she has gained a lot.
It's just that......
Mother Li sighed secretly, in her heart she hoped that Situ Jiao would no longer be as cowardly and inferior as before, but she also didn't want Situ Wei to be too tough.
As everyone knows: it is easy to fold if it is rigid.
But as long as she thought of the big dye vat in the Anning Hou Mansion, Mother Li had to harden her heart, if Situ Jiao was as cowardly and timid as before, once she returned to the Anning Hou Mansion, she was afraid that it would not take long to be torn to pieces.
Isn't Han the most striking example?
The Han family was born in the Great General's Mansion, which held most of the military power of the Nanling Kingdom, and what kind of life is he living in the Hou Mansion now?
Although Han's current situation has a great relationship with her frailty and illness caused by dystocia when she gave birth to Situ Jiao, her natural weakness is the most important factor, which just fulfills the principle that being soft is easy to cowardly.
Otherwise, how could Xiaolin, an aunt who was not favored in front of An Ninghou, grasp the stewardship of the Hou Mansion?
In fact, if it weren't for the Han family's being too weak, just the few maids around the Han family would be able to control the entire Hou Mansion for her, not to mention that there was General Han's Mansion as her backing.
It's a pity that Han's temperament is too weak, so weak that he can't protect his own daughter, and so weak that his aunt takes the power of the family.
At the beginning, the wife in charge of the General's Mansion, that is, the mother-in-law of the Han family, for her own weak daughter, when the Han family got married, the personal rings and dowries selected for her were all like Li's mother with good martial arts.
It's a pity that the Han family didn't make good use of the resources around him, and he was even more weak and obedient to the old lady of the Hou Mansion.
So over the years, Han's situation in the Marquis of Anning's Mansion can only be described in one word, that is, "bleak".
No matter how strong the slaves and maids around him are, how can a weak master keep the people around him in the backyard like a wolf and a tiger.
Thinking of the Han family, who was still alive in the Anning Hou Mansion, Li's mother's heart was worried for a while.
Although Mother Li only sighed secretly, she couldn't escape Situ Jiao's eyes, she removed the gloom in her eyes and smiled: "Mom, don't sigh, everything will be fine." Sooner or later, we will all go back to the Hou Mansion. ”
Mother Li listened to Situ Jiao's words, and was a little flustered, and only asked faintly after a while: "Miss, do you really want to go back to the Hou Mansion?" ”
"Well, I think it will, and it must be back! Is Mother Li afraid? Situ Jiao's tone was decided, and her expression was extremely solemn.
"Afraid? Even if the young lady goes to the Longtan Tiger's Den, the slave and maid follow the young lady, in short, where the young lady is, the slave and the maid are there! Mother Li's eyes burst out with an unusually dazzling light.
"Well, with my mother's words, I feel more confident! Mom, next, you and Lumei and Qingzhu can slowly pack up their things back to the house, and we will strive to return to the Hou Mansion within two months. Situ Jiao was full of confidence.
Although Li's mother had doubts, it was also her lifelong wish to let Situ Jiao return to the Hou Mansion as soon as possible.
In any case, her young lady is the eldest daughter of the Hou Mansion, and the young ladies of other people's families have already begun to discuss marriage, and her young lady has never returned to the Hou Mansion once.
Li's mother was thinking about Situ Jiao's family affairs, but Situ Jiao was thinking about the safety of the frail Han and Situ Yang at this time.
