Chapter 214: Stratagem
After Nioh went, Mama Gu asked the maids outside to come in and clean up the table, and personally served Shen Mengxin to rinse her mouth and wash her hands, and said with a smile: "The prince really has a heart, in previous years, he lived for two months in the summer, this time Auntie, you are a little uncomfortable, and the whole palace has come back in advance, who has such a unique favor?" ”
Shen Mengxin said 'um' and didn't answer.
Qingzhi and Fluttershy both think that Xiaoya and Ye Siniang are too unlucky, and the drug stealing incident is just in time for the prince to return!
The two of them couldn't imagine that it was actually the pill that had a great relationship, Wu Mei notified Nioh, and Renwang used Shen Mengxin as an excuse to come back early, he has always been known as a merryman, and he said that it was to favor the concubine, but no one doubted it.
After washing his hands for a while, he heard Mama Gu say, "Auntie, I'll smear this rose dew on you." ”
Shortly after that, both Twig and Fluttershy smell the scent of roses on their noses.
"This is a tribute from the palace! I secretly inquired, but the princess didn't have anything there! Although Mama Gu lowered her voice, she was heard by Fluttershy.
Shen Mengxin still just said 'um'.
Fluttershy whispered to Qingzhi, "Miss must have thought I didn't serve well, I used to ask the little girl to hold the water and let Miss wash her hands by herself, but I just wiped her dry at most, where have I ever wiped such a good rose?" Miss must have disliked me. ”
Qingzhi didn't know the situation for the time being, so he only patted her on the back to calm her down for a while, and said in a low voice, "No." ”
Sure enough, after the maids removed the basin and the room was quiet, Shen Mengxin said, "Mama Gu, you're tired too, go and call Qingzhi and Fluttershy over to serve." ”
Fluttershy tugged at Greenbranch, "Oh no! What if they can't find us? But I heard a 'plop', as if someone knelt down, and then I heard Gu Mama say: "Aunt is distressed and distressed for the old slave!" For the sake of my careful service, the old slave will be beaten by the prince again, this old life is really gone! My grandson hasn't been born yet......"
Shen Mengxin's impatient voice came: "That's it! Go out, I'm going to rest for a while. ”
Mama Gu agreed, and then instructed: "Auntie, don't lie down, you can't get up while lying down, the prince thinks that your aunt is unhappy and has to worry." ”
"I know, you go out and close the door."
The door closes, and Twig and Fluttershy can clearly hear Shen Mengxin breathe a sigh of relief.
The two of them lay on the windowsill, and Qingzhi whispered, "Dream Heart!" Dream Heart! Fluttershy calls out to Miss.
Shen Mengxin came over and saw the two of them, and was startled, Qingzhi reminded her to bring a stool, and the two stepped on the stool and climbed into the room.
Aoeda and Fluttershy are both excited and happy, and Fluttershy can't wait to ask about the Villa, but Shen Mengxin keeps avoiding their gaze.
Qingzhi had never thought of Shen Mengxin like this, and after thinking about it, she felt that she must have been violently treated by Nioh to cringe so much, and asked in a deep and serious voice: "Mengxin, did Nioh in the villa bully you?" ”
and Mama Gu, who helped to abuse!
Shen Mengxin shook his head: "No, he is very good to me, everyone is very good to me, even the princess let me ......"
"It was daytime, but what about night? He comes to your room every day? …… Did you hit you? ”
Shen Mengxin hurriedly waved his hand: "No, no!" He asked me every day if I could stay overnight, and I said no, he left...... He didn't hit me either......"
Qingzhi suddenly remembered what Mama Gu said, 'take a beating', and asked, "But he beat Mama Gu in front of you?" ”
It's like killing the little white ball in front of the little fairy.
Shen Mengxin didn't answer for a while, walked to the edge of the bed and sat down, and said in a low voice: "Mama Gu is very good, the girls are willing to ask her for advice on anything at home, I heard that Mei Xiang's family died and there was no money to bury her, so Mama Gu borrowed five taels of silver for her......"
Fluttershy wondered, "The prince beat her for this?" ”
"No, no, she used to only take care of the embroidery room and never served anyone, but in fact, she served me very carefully, but I was used to the two of you, and I was not used to her taking care of me, so I was worried all day long, who thought that Xuan Jing thought that she did not serve well.
Alas, I didn't want to eat all day that day, and when he found out at dinner, he rushed in and lifted the table, and whipped Mama Gu, blaming her for not being able to serve people. Although that beating didn't hurt her muscles and bones, Mama Gu has been in the palace for many years and has always been diligent in her work, where has she never been so faceless? I almost hanged myself in shame, but luckily I persuaded her. ”
Words such as 'deterrence,' 'emotional control,' and 'exploiting guilt' flashed through Aoeda's mind.
So she said to Shen Mengxin: "But she can't stop listening to you just because she was beaten, after all, you are her master, just now you asked her to call us, but she didn't call with an old face." ”
Fluttershy nodded as well, "That's it!" I've always been the one who served Miss! How can she dominate you like this and not allow you to see us! ”
Aoeda doesn't think the point of contention is here, but she is unconsciously led away by Fluttershy, and says, "That's it! After all, the people in the palace are outsiders, how can they compare to the people of the Shen family who have taken care of you since childhood? ”
Shen Mengxin sighed: "You two take care of me closely, if I make any mistake to make Xuan Jing worry, and you are scolded by him, I must feel worse than watching Mama Gu being beaten!" So it's better for you to serve from afar. ”
Words like 'isolated victims' flashed through Aoeda's mind.
She immediately says that she doesn't dare to take care of Shen Mengxin in any way, and Fluttershy immediately pats her chest to show her loyalty.
After the three of them said a few words, Mama Gu asked her aunt outside if she wanted to take a bath, thinking of the rules of the palace, afraid that she would be told that she didn't go up or down, Qingzhi and Fluttershy quickly climbed out of the window.
Shen Mengxin seemed to be persuaded by them.
The next day, Aoeda can bring cakes to her again, and Fluttershy keeps serving tea and water behind her.
But there is a group of girls who are good friends with Mama Gu, the three masters and servants of the Shen family are not easy to speak, and Shen Mengxin is inconvenient to always send others away, because Mama Gu always looks emotionally hurt.
There have always been outsiders, and Qingzhi didn't have a chance to ask about Ye Siniang, when she went to Aunt Wu to ask, Wu Mei only comforted Qingzhi not to think about it, and emphasized it a few times, saying that she heard that the prince didn't ask anything from Ye Siniang.
Aoeda got some news from Ritsukogawa.
But she found the news unbelievable: "Aunt Wu won't make medicine that makes people get the epidemic!" ”
Ritsukogawa touched her head, "I don't believe that the 'divine doctor' would deliberately harm people, otherwise she wouldn't have put the medicine bottle there so casually, and according to my guess, Nioh should not have known about the existence of this medicine before." ”
Qingzhi remembered that Wu Mei always made a batch of spare medicines, told Ritsu Zichuan, and said: "No one else knows about the spare medicine, and I only noticed it because I always helped her make medicine, she must have made two bottles!" He gave Nioh a bottle and kept it for later, so that no one would take it by mistake. What was Nioh going to do with the bottle of medicine? She shuddered.
