504, heart discouragement
Yuzhu couldn't help but be speechless, and when she saw that it was getting late, she served Xu Shu to rest her feet.
The lights and candles in the main room were lit until the second half of the night, and the next morning before dawn, Jin Ling personally carried the gong bucket and tiptoed out of the door, and the figure disappeared at the door in a flash.
Xu Shu, who had not slept all night, sighed silently listening to the footsteps in the yard, if she hadn't relented for a while and let go of Zheng Wanfeng's nurse, if she had cooked the woman earlier, Mrs. Zheng would not have suffered this disaster.
The guilt made Xu Shu toss and turn, unable to sleep all night, Mrs. Zheng Si regarded her as her own, even if it was for the queen's orders, but the real good could not be faked, and in the face of such a purposeless good, she could not repay it, she couldn't even reveal her sincerity.
And she is instinctively vigilant, she has reservations about everything around her, she is used to keeping her heart in her heart, rather than resorting to her mouth, not to mention that now she is carrying too many secrets, these secrets are overwhelmed by her, often for a moment, she is eager to confide, but reason keeps her silent, her word of gaffe, will affect thousands of people, she can't trust anyone, some people she is destined to live up.
After dawn, Xu Shu finally got up, cleaned up and went to Mrs. Zheng Si's house, there was a faint smell of blood floating in the room, even if it was smoked with a strong moon-seeing incense, it couldn't be covered, Xu Shu took a box of incense to Jin Ling, "The moon-seeing incense is too impetuous, not suitable for use at this time, this incense is good for qi and calms the nerves, use this in the future!" ”
Jin Ling took it, and immediately took the incense burner out to change, Xu Shu entered the inner room, Mrs. Zheng Si had just finished drinking the medicine, and was sitting on the bed in a daze, with a wipe on her forehead, her face was pale and swollen, and when she saw Xu Shu, she barely squeezed out a smile, but she also looked very weak, "Xiao Jiu is here!" ”
Xu Shu nodded, "Mother is okay?" ”
"Good!" Mrs. Zheng Si nodded, although her tone was flat, but her face was bitter that could not be concealed, at her age, she suffered such a thing, it was already rare to be lucky to save her life, this body is afraid that it will be difficult to return to the past, so Xu Shu can't see it, and she doesn't have to bother to disguise an idle expression, so as not to make Xu Shu sad.
"Mother have a good rest, everything is with me!" Xu Shu held Mrs. Zheng's hand, and her voice was a little astringent, as if some emotions were about to pour out if she couldn't suppress them.
"I know! I don't have to worry about you doing things! Mrs. Zheng Si wanted to shake Xu Shu's hand back, but finally let go in vain because of her weakness, and all the strength in her body seemed to have dried up with the surging blood flow last night, leaving such a useless body in vain.
Looking at the hand that didn't obey the call, Mrs. Zheng Si couldn't help but laugh at herself after all, "I told you to see the joke!" When I brought you back from the palace, I thought that I would take good care of you in the future, but now it's only been a few days, and you have taken care of me! Even a few days ago, I couldn't make your life comfortable, and from time to time someone made trouble for you, and now I think about it, I don't want to live with you! ”
"My mother took me in like a grace of regeneration, how can I say that I can't help it, and because of me, my mother and ten sisters are suitable for mothers and daughters, I feel very guilty in my heart!" Xu Shu, who returned to the capital, is like a duckweed, floating without roots, but she is also burdened with human debts, and a little bit of warmth at this time can make her remember it for a lifetime.
Mrs. Zheng Si shook her head, "It's me who has caused you!" I was also selfish when I took you back, I knew that Sister Feng had a bad temperament, and I wanted to take this opportunity to sharpen her temperament, but I didn't expect it to be used by someone with a heart, and it was too simple for me to think about it at the beginning! The second sister-in-law has always regarded me as a thorn in the flesh, and if there is no opportunity to make waves, I ignored this, and you were also targeted by the second sister-in-law! ”
Mrs. Zheng Si showed remorse on her face, if she hadn't been careless, she wouldn't have ...... Mrs. Zheng Si touched her stomach, the remorse on her face deepened, and even the hatred became obvious, even if Zheng Wanfeng did not have a heart, even if she had hurt Zheng Wanfeng for so many years, even if it was in her heart before, in fact, she loved Zheng Wanfeng more, but it could not change her resentment towards Zheng Wanfeng at this moment.
Xu Shu touched the hairpin on her sleeve and didn't say it after all, a hairpin can't explain anything at all, but it will damage the relationship between Mrs. Zheng Si and Mrs. Zheng San, but thinking of Zheng Wanfeng's mother's lesson, Xu Shu felt that this matter should be told to Mrs. Zheng Si.
"What's wrong with you?" Mrs. Zheng Si saw that Xu Shu was speechless for a long time, and couldn't help asking.
Xu Shu finally took out the hairpin, "Last night, I instructed Jin Zhi and Biyun to send the tenth sister's nurse to the eldest aunt for the charge of stealing the master's finances, and the eldest aunt asked the nurse to search the nurse's house and found many items that were not owned by her, Biyun recognized the hairpin and quietly brought the hairpin back." ”
Mrs. Zheng Si glanced at the hairpin, it was very ordinary, and she didn't recognize who it was, so she asked, "Whose is this?" ”
"It's Mother Tan's!"
"Mother Tan? Do you mean that there is someone else who instigates Sister Feng'er? Mrs. Zheng Si held the hairpin for a while, and Mother Tan made her subconsciously think of Mrs. Zheng San, and directly forgot that Xu Shu had already disposed of Zheng Wanfeng's nurse privately, which shows how much impact this matter had on her.
Xu Shu shook her head, "I'm not sure who did it this time!" However, the nurse has served the tenth sister for a long time, and she has taken a lot of benefits from people, so many things, Jin Zhi said that she has two boxes, and it is definitely not given by one person, and there is more than one person who buys the nurse! And the nurse took the benefits of others and deliberately took the tenth sister crookedly, so that the tenth sister developed the current temperament! ”
Mrs. Zheng Si nodded approvingly, "I saw that Sister Feng was getting older and more unruly, so I was suspicious of her, but I couldn't come up with evidence, so I used the excuse of her alcoholism to alienate Sister Feng, I was afraid that Sister Feng would be unhappy, and I would turn a blind eye when she went to Lanxin Pavilion once or twice, and I didn't expect her to leave Lanxin Pavilion and not give up!" Such a second-minded minion, I still wanted to leave her dignity before! Mrs. Zheng felt slightly annoyed, and deeply hated her own negligence, and she felt even more distressed when she realized that what happened to her today was because of the cause and effect she planted.
"That nurse has been beaten and thrown out, no one will make it bad, and if you teach it well, the tenth sister's temperament will change!"
Mrs. Zheng Si smiled coldly, "It's nothing if you don't change, it's going to be over for time, and someone will teach her when she gets married, so I don't have to bother!" ”
Mrs. Zheng Si felt disheartened after all, and actually had the idea of marrying Zheng Wanfeng.
