Chapter Seventy-Eight: Betrayal
Mai Xiaohuan, who was the protagonist of the incident, didn't take this matter to heart at all, and her mother would not nod and order herself to the cousin of the little aunt's family. Although the eldest brother's affairs are more difficult to handle, Mai Xiaohuan really doesn't care about these family members now, so even if the family agrees to give everything to the eldest brother and the woman, he doesn't care.
Of course, it would be better if they could break up the two of them, and when they struggle for a few years, do you still have to worry about the eldest brother's family affairs? However, Mai Xiaohuan still agrees with Tang Yujun's point of view, in this matter, it is estimated that it will be the mother who admits defeat first, after all, which mother can watch her children be indifferent if they don't eat or drink!
It seems that it is correct not to give all the money to the mother, if they have more than a thousand taels of silver in their hands, maybe they will be engaged to the eldest brother at this time!
Mai Xiaofang asked her what she was doing, and she lied and said that she helped Zhou Yue send something to the county lord to cover up. Mai Xiaofang also asked when she would go back to the study to run errands.
"Hey! Tomorrow afternoon. Seeing the second sister's face collapse in an instant, Mai Xiaohuan teased her: "What are you afraid of!" Zhou is getting more and more angry, aren't you still going to slip away! ”
Mai Xiaofang stuck out her tongue, it wasn't that she left her sister alone, her sister has the ability to turn evil into good fortune, but she doesn't have it. If Yue Gongzi treats himself like he does to his sister, he will faint in fear before he is really angry.
When he entered the study again, Mai Xiaohuan felt that everything was weird, especially the eyes of the few people next to him, as if they were sticking to his face.
I washed my face when I went out! Mai Xiaohuan deliberately reached out and touched it, although it was a small face the size of a palm, it was absolutely slippery and tender, so why did they stare at themselves endlessly? No matter what, Mai Xiaohuan started his old job again, laying paper and grinding, and his face and eyes were no different from usual.
With so many things going on at home, how could she be so calm! The master and servant exchanged silently with their eyes, and Xiaoquanzi broke the silence and chatted with Mai Xiaohuan like a homely person.
asked Mai Xiaohuan's address, and asked who they were. Mai Xiaohuan responded while working, picking up some things that could be said and telling Xiaoquanzi. Afraid that Zhou Yue would say that she was not working well, Mai Xiaohuan didn't dare to stop for a moment, and her voice was very low.
"Xiao Huan, Childe is in a good mood today, do you have anything to ask for! Don't care what it is, if there is a son, it will definitely be solved. ”
I didn't dare to trouble him, and I never thought of asking him to help, Tang Yujun didn't even know what the second sister said, and Brother Qu didn't plan to reveal it, let alone Zhou Yue, why did he let the son of the prince of the family help.
"I'm just a little village girl, and my family is full of trivial things, where is there anything worthy of Yue Gongzi's action."
"Humph!" I don't know what to do with the girl, Zhou Yue glared at Xiaoquanzi vigorously, and whoever dared to mention that he would help this girl in the future would send him to clean the toilet.
After finishing the work, after checking that nothing was missing, the sisters packed up their tools, and Mai Xiaohuan remembered that she wanted to find out about Mama Li. She had already calculated last night, if she wanted him to show her feet, she had to find a way to make Zhou Yue doubt her intentions, how could she doubt her! I also need to popularize knowledge about how to warm up my stomach and what should be paid attention to, so that they can believe what they say, only in this way can Mama Li's matter be exposed.
Let the second sister go back first, and organize the language in her heart, Mai Xiaohuan asked Zhou Yue how his appetite has been in the past few days, and whether the porridge that warmed his stomach has any effect.
Zhou Yue looked at Mai Xiaohuan steadily, she was the first person who was not afraid or flinched when she witnessed her illness, and she also sent hot porridge afterwards to persuade her to eat even if she had no appetite. She was also the first person who did not blindly sympathize with herself, but only treated her strange illness as an ordinary symptom and gave her encouragement. She was the first person who was troubled and still remembered herself, and Zhou Yue secretly vowed never to deliberately embarrass her again.
"Long-winded." Zhou Yue curled the corners of his mouth and scolded lightly.
Without...... I really think I care about his business! Mai Xiaohuan cheered himself up and made persistent efforts to say: "Yue Gongzi has a bad appetite, you must pay more attention to it at ordinary times, it is best not to eat those things that stimulate your appetite, eat more stomach-nourishing meals and fruits, sudden cold and heat, too sour and too spicy food to avoid as much as possible."
Drink a cup of hot milk before going to bed, and try to drink some porridge for breakfast......"
Zhou Yue knocked on Mai Xiaohuan's head with the book in his hand, this girl is still rambling today, do you want to move herself?
Did he listen to himself? And this person is addicted, right, even if he is just a maid in his eyes, but gender is here! Reserved no, so like to knock on other people's heads, go to the little girl who climbs a tree and wants to surprise him, and Mama Li's granddaughter! I only regarded him as a creditor, and when the debt was repaid, everyone went their separate ways.
"What about the spicy food that night?" After chewing those words from the beginning, Xiaoquanzi couldn't help but ask.
Someone finally listened to his words, and Mai Xiaohuan muttered that it was not easy! Pretending not to know that Zhou Yue eats spicy food every night, he explained in detail the health experience of eating well in the morning, eating full lunch, and eating less dinner, and how to protect the stomach and intestines to make the body healthier.
The head of the story is the Tao, and it seems to make sense, but this time even Zhou Yue listened to it, and their master and servant fell into contemplation at the same time.
Okay, I've almost said everything I should say, let them digest it, Mai Xiaohuan gently pushed open the door and went back to the small courtyard.
Two days later, in the evening, Mai Xiaohuan told Xiaoquanzi that he remembered a kind of food, wanted to go to the kitchen to find ingredients, and wanted him to help get some.
Hearing that there was something delicious, Xiaoquanzi followed Mai Xiaohuan upside down, and when the two of them arrived at the kitchen, it was very close to the time when Mama Li appeared every day.
Mai Xiaohuan asked Xiao Quanzi to stand in a position where it was not easy to be noticed and could see the door of the kitchen, and moved to the side by himself, just waiting for the fish to surface.
Seeing Mama Li and Xiao Quanzi in the kitchen, she didn't think there was anything wrong, but when she told the chef that Zhou Yue was going to eat spicy food at night, and she disliked that their dishes yesterday were not exciting enough, Xiao Quanzi's brows gathered.
As an old man next to Childe, it is impossible for Mama Li not to know that Childe has a bad appetite and is infected with a strange disease, how can she ......
After the death of the princess, Mama Li did not leave, she always stayed by Gongzi's side, and because of her indefatigability, Gongzi was very tolerant of her, turning a blind eye to most of what she did, and rarely asking about her. She is the most trusted person of the child, how can it be, she still thinks that the dishes are arranged by the steward every day, and when she asks Mama Li, she also looks completely unaware.
But I didn't think that she was manipulating all this behind her back, what did she want to do?
After Mama Li left, Mai Xiaohuan also left quietly, and then it was up to Zhou Yue, if he continued to be obsessed, he had no choice, as for the grievances between himself and Mama Li, he could only solve them in other ways.
If Zhou Yue allowed the situation to develop like this, he would treat his body as improper, and Mai Xiaohuan would look down on him. Anyway, I will never continue to deceive myself. As long as you are not a fool and don't want to be controlled by others for the rest of your life, normal people will react, at least Mai Xiaohuan thinks so.
In some ways, Zhou Yue and Mai Xiaohuan are actually quite similar, he and Xiaoquanzi pretended to be fine, but ran to the small courtyard where Mai Xiaohuan lived at night to serve a dinner when no one found out.
Isn't this considered to be nothing to do? Every time she cooked dinner for Zhou Yue, Mai Xiaohuan couldn't help but wail in her heart. After two days of eating the meals that Mai Xiaohuan drew up a recipe for Xiao Quanzi to bring over, Zhou Yue began to order by himself, and the dishes changed from two to four dishes and one soup.
"I'm not Yue Gongzi's cook, why should I finish the work in the study and cook and make soup, Brother Xiaoquanzi, can you help me plead for mercy?"
I didn't dare to ask for this love, just when I knew that Mama Li might be harming herself, Childe smashed everything that could be smashed in the bedroom, and stood alone under the window for half a night without moving or saying a word.
I can't see anything in front of people, and when their master and servant are alone, the childe is very depressed. Finally, Mai Xiaohuan's meal diverted his attention, how could he make him unhappy at this time!
So I can only grieve Mai Xiaohuan.
"Childe said that he wouldn't treat you badly, so if you have any skills, just take it out." I can also follow the light, no.
I hope that Mama Li's matter will come to an end soon, and she will be relieved as soon as possible, Mai Xiaohuan prayed silently.
Zhou Yue's people followed Mama Li for more than ten days, and finally found a clue when she went out, she actually made an appointment with the people around Zhou Yue's stepmother to meet in the teahouse. Xiao Quanzi heard the conversation between the two people in the adjacent private room, and Mama Li mentioned that the master's condition was improving, and the person asked Mama Li to find a way to make the master fall ill once a year ago, and the news should be transmitted back to the capital by the people around them.
In this way, the emperor and the queen mother will not take her back to Beijing for the New Year, and the princess and her mother's family will work harder, and the position of the prince will fall to the second son.
The man also guaranteed that Zhou Yue would be equal to the second son in addition to the title of the prince, and then the princess would make the decision to let Mama Li's granddaughter marry Zhou Yue as his wife.
Xiao Quanzi clenched his hands into fists, and he couldn't go over and catch the two people who plotted to kill his master now, but he finally held back, and he couldn't destroy his master's plan on impulse.
Zhou Yue's men followed the man to his residence, and unknowingly captured the person, and the people who followed Mama Li followed her into the lotus courtyard and sent two reliable maids to watch the person.
After everything was arranged, Zhou Yue personally went to Mama Li's residence to visit his nurse, a person who had been with him for more than ten years and had also made himself miserable. Zhou Yue wanted to hear her explanation with her own ears, what promises and benefits that person gave her to betray her.
