Chapter 148: Asking for Others Is Better Than Seeking Yourself (Three Watches)
οΌ
"It's all because I'm too naΓ―ve!" Aunt Mei slapped herself hard, "I hurt Hui'er." Xie Ru is so ruthless, even if the master agrees to take Hui'er back, maybe Xie Ru will do something to Hui'er! β
Aunt Mei can see that Xie Ru's heart is black into ashes, as long as she is uncomfortable, she must get rid of those things that are in the way, and even related things will not let go.
"Fifth Miss, I beg you, can you help Hui'er?" Aunt Mei turned to kowtow to Xie Qing.
Xie Qing hurriedly helped her up, and said, "I can't help her." β
"Why can't you help?" Aunt Mei hurriedly said, "Fifth Miss, you easily broke Xie Ru's game, you are so smart, you must have a way." β
Aunt Mei's eyes were full of hope and begging.
"I have no reason to help her." Xie Qing said lightly, "Aunt Mei, I, Xie Qing, am not a good person, you have calculated me, Xie Hui has also calculated me, why should I help her?" β
"I ...... I calculated you, there was no way, I was also forced. Hui'er, she's young...... Aunt Mei paused, unscrupulous, Xie Hui is a few months older than Xie Qing, "I mean Hui'er, she's just a little troublesome, she definitely won't hurt you, don't be like her." β
"Fifth Miss, I beg you, you will be merciful, save Hui'er, I will repay you by making cattle and horses for you in the next life." Aunt Mei cried and begged.
"It is better to ask for others than for yourself." Xie Qing helped her up and said, "You are a good mother, you have to protect your own children, please others, it is not a perfect solution." β
"However, I can't protect myself, the old lady, the lord, and the lady, they won't let me go." Aunt Mei's lips trembled as she spoke. She was afraid that if she was betrayed, she would really be a slave and a slave from now on. Although she is a concubine now, she is also half a master.
Xie Qing smiled faintly: "Aunt Mei, you may not know that the old lady sent Xie Ru to the family temple, saying that she took the initiative to ask to go to the family temple to pray for blessings." β
Aunt Mei was stunned, and her eyes widened: "Xie Ru took the initiative to go to the family temple to pray for blessings?" That's impossible! β
Suddenly, her face changed, and she was pleasantly surprised: "When the old lady punished Xie Ru, the old lady punished Xie Ru for ......"
Suddenly, Aunt Mei laughed and said, "Xie Ru, you also have today, hahaha." β
"Aunt Mei, don't be too happy, since the old lady said that Xie Ru took the initiative to go, that is, she was saving face for her, and she went to the family temple, and she could also be taken back, everyone would only say that Xie Ru was filial, but not that she made a mistake so she was punished to go to the family temple." Xie Qing said calmly.
"The old lady is so good to Xie Ru!" Aunt Mei gritted her teeth and said. is that Xie Ru is the daughter of the Xie family who values it most, so even if everyone knows that Xie Ru has done something wrong, they will not treat her really, unlike her, a concubine, who will be disposed of casually.
"Fifth Miss, you just said that you have a way to let me stay, you tell me, what should I do?" Aunt Mei kowtowed to Xie Qing, "As long as Fifth Miss is willing to help me, I will definitely repay you." β
In the huge Hou Mansion, in the end, the only person Aunt Mei could ask for was Xie Qing.
"You get up first." Xie Qing helped her up, "I can give you an idea, but you still have to suffer, can you accept it?" β
Aunt Mei nodded again and again: "I'm not afraid of hardship, I just want our mother and daughter to live well and have a place in the Hou Mansion." β
There is everything in life, she must stay in the Hou Mansion, once she leaves, then she is really finished.
"You go and beg the old lady and ask her to send you to the family temple." Xie Qing said.
Aunt Mei frowned slightly: "I said I went to the family temple?" But wouldn't Hui'er and I have to stay in the family temple for the rest of our lives? β
Staying in the family temple for a lifetime, isn't that the same as becoming a monk, Aunt Mei wondered in her heart, is this a good idea?
Sent to the family temple, this punishment is not small, if she really said this to the old lady, the old lady would agree to it nine times out of ten. But she didn't want to stay in the family temple for the rest of her life.
Xie Qing shook his head and said, "I didn't say that you would stay in the family temple for the rest of your life. Since I said I would help you, I won't let you stay in that place forever. β
Aunt Mei bit the corner of her lip and didn't say a word.
Apparently she didn't trust her a little. From Xie Ru, Aunt Mei learned one thing - doubt.
Xie Ru can go back on his word, won't Xie Qing?
Aunt Mei didn't know Xie Qing at all, who knew if this was a trap she designed, saying that it was to help her, but in fact, she would always stay in the family temple and never turn over.
"If you don't believe me, then you don't have to, just wait for Ya Po to come and take you away." Xie Qing didn't explain to her, and only threw down such a sentence lightly.
Trust between people is a gamble. You never know what the other person really thinks, but you can choose to believe it or not.
Aunt Mei's face was embarrassed, and heaven and man were at war in her heart, do you believe it or not?
She looked at Xie Qing, the woman's face was beautiful, her expression was light, cold and unpretentious, like an immortal in the moon, naturally a majesty that could not be desecrated.
Aunt Mei gritted her teeth: "I believe it!" I have no other way than to believe in you, even if you calculate me, I can at least be with my Hui'er forever. β
Xie Qing smiled: "Okay, don't worry, the day Xie Ru comes back from the family temple, you will definitely be able to come back." β
Aunt Mei nodded tearfully, she did the most uncertain thing in her life, it was risk-taking, it was gambling.
"Then Miss Five, what do you need me to do for you?" Aunt Mei is not a completely stupid person, there is no free lunch in the world, Xie Qing helps her, it must be conditional.
Xie Qing was very satisfied with Aunt Mei's upper path, and said with a smile: "I want you to look at Xie Ru and pay attention to her every move, especially who she has come into contact with, and tell me immediately if there is any situation." β
"Fifth Miss, do you still want to deal with Xie Ru?" Aunt Mei asked.
Xie Qing smiled faintly and said, "Aunt Mei, this is not something you should care about, the less you know, the better it will be for you." "Secrets are not something that anyone is qualified to know. Like Aunt Mei, she and Xie Qing are only in a temporary relationship, and each takes what he needs.
"But am I in danger? And I'm in the family temple, how can I tell you? Aunt Mei lowered her eyes and said, a little drumming in her heart. Xie Qing asked her to spy on Xie Ru, which is probably a bit dangerous.
Xie Qing glanced at her: "Will there be danger, it depends on how capable you are, I didn't let you do anything, but I just let you look at Xie Ru, if you feel dangerous, then you don't have to go to the family temple, just wait for Ya Po to come and sell it." β
Aunt Mei shook her head again and again: "No, no, no, I don't want to be betrayed." I'll go, and I'll do as you say. β
After being betrayed, she and Xie Hui were going to be separated, and from then on they were slaves and maids, and it was difficult to say whether they could even keep their names.
"I will arrange for someone to contact you, and you can pass the news to her when the time comes, but you have to remember one thing, even if you are discovered, you must not confess my people, otherwise there will be absolutely no one to save you." Xie Qing said.
As long as Aunt Mei doesn't betray her, she naturally won't sit idly by.
Aunt Mei nodded: "Okay, I believe in Miss Five." β
β¦β¦
Xie Qing returned to the room, and Lingzhi was puzzled: "Miss, why did you let Aunt Mei spy on Xie Ru?" The slave is worried that Aunt Mei will betray you. β
The cooperative relationship between Aunt Mei and Xie Qing is not strong, and it may break down at any time, and if Aunt Mei confesses Xie Qing at that time, it will be troublesome for Xie Qing.
"She's the best candidate." Xie Qing's eyes were slightly deep, "Xie Ru has a grudge with her, if she spies on Xie Ru, it will only make people think that she has a personal grudge with Xie Ru, and it is normal to have a moth." β
"As for her betraying me?" Xie Qing smiled faintly, "It doesn't make any sense for her to betray me." I have a grudge with Xie Ru, and I also have a grudge with that person, I sent someone to spy on Xie Ru, what can she do with me? β
"That one? Who is it? Lingzhi scratched her head, what the hell was Miss doing, she couldn't figure it out.
Xie Qingdan's lips opened lightly: "Rong Sang, Xie Rong Sang." β
Lingzhi's eyes lit up instantly, "Oh, slave maid understands, miss, you suspect that the eldest lady and Xie Rongsang are together, but you can't find any evidence, so you let Aunt Mei spy on Xie Ru, right?" β
Xie Qing nodded: "I'm not sure if they are a group, but there must be Xie Rongsang's people by Xie Ru's side." The relationship between the Xie family and Xie Rongsang is very delicate, if Old Madam Xie didn't lie to me, she must not want to see Xie Rongsang at all. But I am biased to Xie Rongsang, the old lady will definitely clean up the Hou Mansion, so if Xie Rongsang wants to infiltrate the Hou Mansion, it can only be through Xie Ru. β
"Speaking of Xie Rongsang, the slave maid remembers hearing that the young lady mentioned that you poisoned her, she may have died of poisoning?" Lingzhi had a hint of fantasy in her heart, maybe Xie Rongsang was dead, so she would naturally not be unfavorable to Miss.
Xie Qing shook his head: "Although there is still a medicine missing, there must be people with excellent medical skills around Xie Rongsang, and there is only one medicine left, and it is not difficult to practice the antidote." Don't forget, what was Xie Rongsang's identity in the past, she can live until now, and she will not be an ordinary person. β
The concubine of the prince of the previous dynasty, Xie Rongsang was able to survive, and there was also a trace of her in the palace, and she definitely had a lot of power in her hands.
Xie Rongsang's appearance surprised Xie Qing so much that she didn't dare to underestimate this woman. She remembered that her father, Li Mu, had said that Emperor Dayue had overthrown the tyranny of the previous dynasty, but it was rumored that there was a mysterious army in the previous dynasty but could not be found. Xie Qing couldn't help but wonder, would this army be in Xie Rongsang's hands?
