Chapter 69 Chewing the Root of the Tongue
Who's there, come out! β
Outside the door, Mrs. Liu's voice with a little anger came from outside. Then, the door opened. She walked in with an angry look on her face.
At this time, Li Jiujiu was sitting on a rocking chair in the courtyard. Every day in bed, either lying or sitting, she felt like she was about to get moldy.
"Mama, what's wrong?" Bi Luo hurriedly asked, she had never seen Mrs. Liu so angry.
"Niangniang, there are two maids hiding outside to chew the root of their tongues!"
Hearing Mrs. Liu say this, she opened her eyes for a long time, and her face was calm: "Mama is so angry, presumably they don't speak well." Yun Chuhan only sent an order a few days ago before leaving, telling the princess that the princess had returned, inside and outside the palace of Chu. That's less than a month. β
"Miss, arrest them and punish them heavily!" Bi Luo said hatefully.
"You don't even know what they say, so you punish them heavily. Mama, you say, I don't care if other people's mouths will spit out people's words. "It looks calm for a long time.
Mrs. Liu frowned and said, "Niangniang, it's all some words that chew the root of your tongue, don't listen to it!" β
"That's right, Miss, the dog can't spit out ivory from its mouth, so don't listen!" Biluo hurriedly agreed.
Li Jiujiu smiled slightly, with a touch of indifference between her eyebrows, she stood up and said, "Mama, are they just chewing the root of their tongues?" Is there anything out of the ordinary? If you just chew the root of your tongue, Mama shouldn't be so angry. β
Mrs. Liu was a little annoyed that she shouldn't have lost her temper. Obviously, I guessed something from Jiujiu.
"They ......", Mrs. Liu hesitated, but still said, "Their words, the slave and maid will not say anything." Because, every sentence pokes at the sore spot of the mother. The slave maid wanted to go over and teach them a lesson, but she didn't expect them to run so fast that they didn't even see their looks! β
Li Jiujiu frowned, and subconsciously wanted to touch the wound on his face. However, her hand stopped before it could touch her face.
"My sore spot right now is nothing more than my face." Li Jiujiu looked at Mrs. Liu.
Mrs. Liu sighed. Obviously, Lijiu was right.
"Of course, you don't say it. Yun Chuhan won't either, after all, even if it's not for anything else, he has to take care of his face. I'm sure Yan Che and Su Rin won't say it either. Yun Chenhuan, probably not. "I thought about it for a long time.
"Miss, could it be Yun Muqing?" Bi Luo asked.
After thinking about it for a long time, he shook his head: "Although Yun Muqing is a bastard. However, this kind of thing did not do him any good. It's just chewing the root of the tongue, so what? β
Mrs. Liu's face was gloomy, she lowered her voice, and said, "Isn't there anyone else in the palace who knows?" β
"Come into the house and say." After saying goodbye to Jiujiu, he turned around and walked towards the house.
Walking into the house, Biluo quickly closed the door.
"It's all just speculation. Either way, be more careful in the future. Lijiujiu's brows furrowed slightly, and she suddenly felt a little uneasy, as if she smelled danger.
I thought for a long time that when Situ Jing entered the Chu Palace, it was like entering a no-man's land.
However, she also comforted herself that she might have thought too much. After all, she stays in the house every day, and the gate of the Winter Snow Courtyard is closed, so it is inevitable that she will be guessed by many people.
Still, it's suspicious. Although Yun Chuhan is not there. But judging from the frequency of his recent visits to the Winter Snow Courtyard, it should be seen up and down in the house. chewing the root of the tongue like this, aren't you afraid that the prince will come back and punish them?
Isn't it, they deliberately chewed the root of their tongue to let themselves hear?
"By the way, Niangniang, the slave maid heard that Qu Ruren returned to her mother's house a few days ago and has not come back yet." Mrs. Liu suddenly remembered this incident.
Qu Lingxue, looking at Bing Qingyujie, spotless. But what kind of person is she? Anyway, I can't see through it. Thinking of Qu Lingxue for a long time, her intuition told her that this woman was not simple.
"Taking advantage of the absence of the prince, he actually went back to his mother's house to live for so long? Haven't Qu Ruren always been very well-behaved? Could it be that something happened to her mother's family? Bi Luo seemed to ask.
Mrs. Liu shook her head and said, "This is indeed very strange. Miss, Qu Ruren has always been very well-behaved. The slave maid inquired, and she left early in the morning and didn't eat breakfast. The slave maid didn't hear anything about what happened in Qufu. β
"Actually, it's not unusual for the ghost mother to stay for a few days. Mama, you seem to be concerned about this. Li Jiujiu looked at Mrs. Liu's serious expression, and didn't know what she cared about.
"Miss, the slave has a bad feeling, this Qu Ru is definitely not a good type."
After listening to Mrs. Liu's words, she nodded for a long time: "In the future, let's be careful." β
A few more days passed.
Biluo came back from the laundry room, and her face was long, which was even more ugly than Mrs. Liu's face a few days ago.
Seeing Bi Luo walk in unhappily, he put down the pen in his hand for a long time and asked, "What's wrong?" Who bullied you? β
Bi Luo put the clothes on the table, sat on the chair, and said angrily: "I took the clothes from the laundry room, and on the way back, I saw two maids sneakily hiding behind the rockery. The slave maid thought it was nothing. Who knows, they are actually speaking ill of Miss! The slave and maid rushed to question them. As a result, they ran faster than the rabbits! The slaves didn't even see what they looked like! β
Mrs. Liu walked over: "Yesterday, on the way to the dining room, the slave maid also heard someone say bad things about Niangniang in the rockery. But when they walked over, they ran. β
Li Jiujiu sat down and asked, "How many times has Biluo encountered this time today?" β
Mrs. Liu thought for a while and said, "A few days ago, the slave maid met outside the Winter Snow Courtyard for the first time. After that, every time the slave maid and Bi Luo went out, they would meet each other by chance, which should have been six times. β
"Every time you can't see their faces, or they're running fast. And it's two people at a time. They hid behind trees, behind rockeries, and in corners where they were covered. Guess it's going to be the same two people every time? β
Bi Luo frowned and said, "Patronizing me angry, I didn't listen carefully......"
"Slaves too. However, listening to what Niangniang said, it seems that they did it on purpose. Mrs. Liu said.
Li Jiujiu smiled faintly: "There are many people staring at me, except for those jackals, tigers and leopards outside, there may not be none in the palace." Who is it? β
"Miss's countenance will be as good as ever at the beginning of spring next year. Until then, do you want to hide from anyone all the time? Biluo was a little worried.
Mrs. Liu hurriedly said: "It's okay, in a few months, the scar on the face will not be serious." When the time comes, rub more rouge and gouache and you won't be able to see it. β
Bi Luo breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good." When the time comes, the young lady must ask the prince for stewardship. In this way, only in the face of those concubines in the palace can they grasp the initiative. β
After listening to Bi Luo's words, Li Jiujiu couldn't help laughing: "Yes, there is growth." β
Li Jiujiu put away his smile and became serious: "Mama, Biluo, Yun Chuhan is not here now." I can only stay in the Winter Snow Courtyard. The two of you, whether you go to the dining room or elsewhere, must be more mindful. Also, Biluo definitely can't. Mama, if you run into someone who chews your tongue and says bad things about me when you go out, you must distinguish it carefully. See exactly if it's the same two people every time. β
Mrs. Liu nodded: "In the future, I will go to the dining room and wash clothes, and the slave and maid will go." Biluo will stay in the Winter Snow Courtyard and wait. The slave will make Su Rin pay attention. β
It's been a few days, and I don't know how ugly they said behind their backs. Since it was an ugly word, I haven't asked it for a long time.
The pain of cutting the flesh has passed, and I believe that as long as she is careful in the future, there will be no worse thing.
Her intuition told her that the two maids who spoke ill of her were intentional or instigated. One or two times is a coincidence, and more times is not a coincidence.
However, the heart of the long time is very calm. No matter who it is, since she has no choice now, she can only respond to all changes with the same. It's useless to think so much, it's better not to think about it.
Within a few days, the long-awaited speculation was confirmed. Mrs. Liu paid attention to it a few times and determined that it was the same two people every time.
Maybe it's too boring to be bored in the winter snow yard every day, but I think it's a little interesting after a long time.
Speaking ill of people behind their backs is not a clever tactic.
"Miss, what should I do? How did they run so fast! It can't be that you've practiced martial arts, right? Bi Luo was afraid that something would irritate him for a long time.
Mrs. Liu shook her head: "Their figures and steps don't look like people who practice martial arts. Miss, not the next time, I'll catch up with them and catch them. β
"In that case, you may no longer be able to hide your martial arts. Maybe someone will do it to you. The task given to you by the bus is to hide well and protect it secretly. As a last resort, you're still an old lady who can't run. "I said jokingly for a long time.
"What then? Sick of it! Who the hell is it? Bi Luo was bored, and kept rubbing his fingers.
"Someone who doesn't want me back, I guess. Leave them alone. If you encounter it again in the future, you will pretend not to see it. I'm tired, so I'm going to sleep for a while. After saying this, he stood up and walked to the bedroom.
Spring Courtyard
Jiu'er returned to the main hall after washing clothes, but saw paper all over the floor. Li Moxuan was kneeling on the ground writing.
"Miss!" Jiu'er hurriedly went to help Moxuan away.
Li Moxuan pushed away Jiu'er's hand and said, "I have written the name of the prince on these papers. Wait until one day he comes, let him see. Jiu'er picked up a piece of paper beside him, and it was densely written with a Chinese character.
"Miss." Jiu'er didn't know what to say.
Li Moxuan raised her head and looked at Jiu'er: "You don't have to be sad. I've figured it out these days. The aunt in the Prime Minister's Mansion comes and goes every day, and it's not like I haven't seen you. It's just a momentary loss, it doesn't matter, I'm still young. β
Jiu'er breathed a sigh of relief: "I scared the slave to death, I thought the young lady was too sad." In the past few days, the young lady has not spoken, and the slave and maid do not know what to do. β
Li Moxuan smiled, touched Jiu'er's face, and said, "Only you treat me sincerely." β
