Chapter 42: The Arrogant Butler
The more Su He thought about it, the more she felt that something was wrong, she had already heard about Jiangling more than once with Su Kun and the second prince, and now this Danling herb was an extremely precious and rare medicinal material in the medical books handed down by her ancestors, and she couldn't help but suspect that the clues were connected.
Su Ho suddenly understood that she had focused on Su Kun before, trying to find a breakthrough from him. However, he is just a person next to the second prince, and in the final analysis, he still has to start from the second prince in order to find more flaws.
Soho was in distress for a while, how could she, a little concubine, get close to the second prince? Although they have had a few encounters, and the two princes seem to be approachable, Soho knows that things are definitely not that simple!
There are very few opportunities!
Soho only felt a burst of boredom in her heart, she walked around the house, and her mind was troubled, but she couldn't figure it out or think of a way, so she simply pushed open the door and walked out.
The night wind blew on her face, and Soho suddenly felt a lot more refreshed.
"Miss, why did you come out?" Yingxue came with a basin of hot water.
"I'm so bored that I want to come out and take a walk." Soho said warmly.
"What's wrong? Why are you so bored all of a sudden? Did Miss encounter something unhappy? Ying Xue asked hurriedly.
"No, it's just a little tightness in the chest, it'll be fine in a while, and it's much lighter now."
Yingxue hurriedly put the basin down, and then said, "Didn't Miss say that she was tired and panicked for a few days?" Soaking your feet in hot water can relieve your fatigue, so it's better for Miss to go to bed early and rest. ”
"I also want to go for a walk next to the lotus pond." Soho didn't want to sleep, she didn't feel the slightest sleepiness now, even if she was lying in bed, she would definitely not be able to sleep after tossing and turning.
"Okay, then I'll accompany Miss!" Yingxue said.
Soho smiled, "No need, it's okay for you to be here, I'll walk by myself." ”
"No, no," Yingxue shook her head resolutely, "Miss didn't let me go yesterday, but my shoulder was injured, and today it's so late, I definitely can't let Miss go alone, even if I light a lantern for Miss!" As she spoke, Yingxue trotted and brought a paper lantern, and the faint light flickered.
A burst of warmth flowed through Soho's heart, Yingxue cared so much about her insistence, and she couldn't refuse, so let's go together.
When I arrived at the bridge on the lotus pond, Soho closed her eyes and quietly felt the night breeze and the faint fragrance of lotus.
"Yo, the third lady is here."
Soho opened his eyes and followed the voice. Seeing a short, chubby little man walking towards this, Soho couldn't help frowning, she just wanted to find a quiet, she didn't expect someone to disturb her, she didn't need to think carefully to hear the unhappiness in the butler's tone. She's honestly here, who did she provoke?
The housekeeper of Su Mansion stepped forward panting, he wiped his sweat, and saw that Su He was leisurely here, and he was even more unhappy, "This big night, the third lady is not staying honestly in her own courtyard, what are you doing here?" ”
The butler's tone sounded really unpleasant, yin and yang, as if Soho had done something unseemly, and he was more like a high-status person who was instructing Soho.
Soho didn't want to say anything useless to this kind of inconsequential snob, she had long been used to this kind of attitude, the reason why this housekeeper dared to treat her like this was nothing more than that the old lady reprimanded her under the pretext of coming back yesterday, and these subordinates wanted to bully the soft and fear the hard, and trampled themselves under their feet.
"Hurry up and say something about the housekeeper, go back quickly after speaking, I feel noisy and panicked here!" Soho's voice was cold, and he refused to give face at all.
The housekeeper was choked up all of a sudden, and he couldn't get off the stage for a while, but Soho didn't even look at him, and he was bored here.
"I'm here to spread the words of the old lady, but the third lady has to prick up her ears and listen well, otherwise something will happen again, and no one else will be blamed!" The butler was arrogant.
Soho motioned for him to continue.
Seeing that Soho's attitude was like this, the housekeeper's tone was even worse, "Tomorrow, the old lady invited the ladies of the mansions to come to enjoy the flowers, they are all the wives of the dignitaries and nobles in the capital, and the identity is good, the old lady specially asked me to tell me again and again, the third lady will stay in her own yard when she arrives, don't run around, don't disturb the peace of the ladies!" Don't embarrass our Su Mansion! ”
Soho listened to the butler's sharp tone, and only felt uncomfortable, not because of the content conveyed, anyway, she didn't want to get involved in this kind of thing, it was messy, it was a headache, it was just some idle women......
"yes, got it!" Soho replied briefly.
"Third Miss has to remember!" The butler said.
Yingxue, who was on the side, couldn't listen to it anymore, she rushed forward angrily, "Our young lady is not deaf, so she doesn't need to be as strong as you as a housekeeper!" ”
"I said, you little girl, who are you talking to? I tell you, you give me ......"
"What for you?" Soho interrupted him suddenly.
The housekeeper was stunned for a moment, and forcibly held back the words behind, because Soho's appearance was really a little scary, she stared at herself fiercely, and he subconsciously didn't dare to speak.
"My man, you don't deserve to talk nonsense! said that he was afraid that I would lose face, heh, in my opinion, it is really a shame to have a slave like you who does not know the height of the sky! Soho said with a sneer.
"You...... You ......" The butler pointed to Soho, and he was so angry that he couldn't speak.
"What are you? Is Miss anything you can refer to? Yingxue said loudly.
The housekeeper saw that the two of them were dealing with him, and he turned around angrily to leave, and just got off the bridge, the soles of his feet slipped, and with a "poof", he fell into the water.
When he climbed up, he was covered in mud, dirty and smelly, and it was simply miserable......
Of course, these Soho and Yingxue just watched a scene, and they definitely didn't mean to help.
The housekeeper had no choice but to go back dejectedly.
On the second day, Soho slept until three poles in the morning, and she couldn't go out today anyway.
"Three Miss, Three Miss!"
As soon as Soho picked up the bowl and prepared to drink the porridge, she heard someone outside calling her in a panic.
Soho walked out and saw that a little maid was crying and looking at her.
"Who are you?"
The little maid cried and said, "Third Miss, the slave maid is from the Fourth Young Master's courtyard, and I have a lot of red dots on me, so I ask the third lady to show the slave maid." ”
Su Ho was subconsciously vigilant, why did Su Kun come to him?
Su He thought about it carefully, and also understood in his heart that Su Kun was close to the second prince, and the little maid who suddenly came was afraid that it was the second prince's person.
"Okay, you come in, I'll take a look for you." Soho remained silent and whispered.
After finishing the pulse, Soho wrote down a prescription and handed it over, "Take it, I can only help you so much, and I can't guarantee whether it will have an effect." ”
