Chapter 170: Despondent and Returning, Qiu Hanged Himself
While walking outside, Wen Chun secretly scolded Wen Qiu for not being ashamed, not to mention that the food and accommodation were all from the Rui Wangfu, and the princess treated her very well, but she didn't expect her to have such a dirty mind. The more Wen Chun thought about it, the more angry he became, and he went back to his room to put things down, and scolded fiercely: "Shameless thing." ”
Only then did he rush to the gate of the palace and wait for Mu Mingshu to come back, thinking that he must tell his master about it.
But now facing Mu Mingshu, she couldn't open her mouth all of a sudden, in the end, it was a sister for many years, if she asked Qiu Zhen to end up unbearable, she would not be happy in her heart.
Mu Mingshu waited for a long time and didn't hear Wen Chun speak, and was about to ask again, when a little maid came outside to report: "Princess, Wen Qiu's mother Li is asking to see her outside." ”
"Oh?" Mu Mingshu put aside the tea bowl and glanced at Wen Chun, then sat up straight: "Call her in." ”
After getting the words, a little maid lifted the curtain and led Li in.
"The slave greets the princess, and the princess is blessed." She was wearing a green dress, her body was cleaned up, her hair had only been washed for a short time, and there was a faint smell of osmanthus oil, and she knelt down to make a big salute as soon as she entered the house.
Mu Mingshu had a good impression of the Li family, nodded slightly, and asked the little maid to bring her a stool to sit and talk.
Li thanked Mu Mingshu with a thousand thanks, and then sat on the side, she is now a steward in the big kitchen of Mu Mansion, which is a place with a lot of oil and water, plus her daughter has the favor of the eldest lady, and she also came to Rui Wangfu on an errand, her face is more and more bright, but she is also a person who has eyes and knows measure, otherwise she would not sit in this position.
Wen Qiu is young and ignorant, so she has such a dirty mind, but when she is an old woman who has grown to this age, she can see it clearly and understand, and she will definitely not ask Wen Qiu to be wrong all the time.
"Ask Qiu, is your body better?" Mu Mingshu asked, with a shallow smile on his face.
As soon as Li Shi sat down, he hurriedly got up and saluted again: "Princess Xie cares, that girl is infected with a little wind cold, and now the fever has subsided, and she is sweating again, there is no big problem." ”
"Sit down and talk." Mu Mingshu waved his hand: "There is no need for such a lot of courtesy here in this concubine." ”
Although Mu Mingshu said this, Li still didn't dare to make a mistake, and only after thanking him once again did he sit back respectfully.
Mu Mingshu said again: "Wenqiu has been with the concubine for many years, and she can be regarded as growing up with the concubine, a few days ago, the concubine pointed out a family business to her, she had a knot in her heart, and Mama Li talked to her when she was free, and asked why." ”
Speaking of Wenqiu's marriage, Li was shocked, raised his eyes to Mu Mingshu's eyes, and couldn't understand what she meant, and then smiled after turning his mind: "Thank you princess for raising love, the princess gave her family affairs are excellent, and the girl who asked Qiu has not been very timid since she was a child, and she is dead-eyed, so she said those ridiculous words, and I hope the princess will forgive me." ”
"It's okay, this concubine knows who she is, so she won't bother with her."
Mu Mingshu is not what she was when she was unmarried, although she is still lenient and considerate to her subordinates, but Li knows that the person in front of her is no longer the eldest girl she used to be, but as soon as she thought of being such a daughter, she finally turned her heart and said: "Princess, the slave wants to ask for a favor." ”
Mu Mingshu raised his eyebrows: "You say." ”
Li stood up and saluted Mu Mingshu again, looked at her expression and said, "Minion, the minion wants to bring Wenqiu back." Seeing Mu Mingshu's eyebrows moved, he said hurriedly: "The slave and the Qiu are not young, this child is sick again now, and it is not good to serve the princess, the slave, the slave wants to ask her to go back and accompany the slave and the old man more, even if she marries in the future, she will have fewer regrets." ”
Rao is Li is a person who understands no matter how much she understands, but when she thinks of Wen Qiu's filthy thoughts, she trembles when she talks about it, she kneels on her knees and kowtows to Mu Mingshu: "I hope the princess will be fulfilled." ”
The mother wants to take her daughter back for a few days, Mu Mingshu can't say anything, although Wenchun hasn't said anything yet, it can be seen that Li is so anxious to take Wenqiu back, and he also guessed a few points from it. Since ancient times, there have been many people around high-ranking and powerful men Xiao Xiang, not to mention the high-powered, but anyone who can afford to raise a maid at home is called Xiao Xiang, those little maids who want to fight for the future can't even do anything, and those dirty methods outside don't need to be taught to use, but Mu Mingshu never thought that there was such a thing around him.
It's fake if she doesn't get angry in her heart, but in the end, she asked Qiu Master and Servant, plus she ended up like that in her previous life, she didn't want to pursue anything, after all, she didn't make any trouble, so she just smiled lightly: "This concubine has nothing to say, as long as she asks Qiu if she is willing." ”
He turned his head and asked Dong again: "You go and ask Qiu what he means." ”
Wen Dong nodded and went out of Wen Qiu's house, as soon as she entered the house, she saw Wen Qiu still lying on the bed crying, and sighed to herself, although she didn't know what was going on, but she also knew that it must not be a good thing, otherwise Li suddenly had to take Wen Qiu back.
The maid who originally got face in front of the princess was taken home by Lao Ziniang, no matter what the reason, she was looked down upon.
Wen Dong sighed, stepped forward gently, and sat down: "Don't cry, your body has not been well raised, and if you continue like this, you won't ruin yourself." ”
As soon as Wen Qiu heard that she had ruined herself, she cried more and more, but it was not that she ruined herself, she had those dirty thoughts, once she was revealed, she would not be able to raise her head in this life, not to mention that she would find her mother-in-law's house in the future, but she was afraid that she would cut her hair and go up the mountain to be a sister-in-law.
Wen Dong is not a crying person, and he can't see Wen Qiu crying like this, so he persuaded her to cry more and more, and suddenly felt a little annoyed in his heart: "Okay, don't cry and cry, the princess asked me to ask you, your mother wants to take you back, are you willing, if you are willing, you can leave this time." ”
Wen Qiu Fangcai was still sad and sad, hearing this, the whole person was stunned, raised a pair of misty eyes and looked at Wen Dong, with a look of disbelief, just now her mother only advised her to be a good family business, not to have those thoughts that should not be there, but she didn't say that she would be taken back.
If she really asked her mother to lead her out of the Rui Wangfu, wouldn't she really ruin herself? Wen Qiu's heart was pounding, panicked and confused, her brain was like a mess, and there was only one thought in her heart, could it be that the princess knew her mind and beat her mother, so that her mother had to open this mouth?
Thinking of this, she felt more and more frightened, she had seen Mu Mingshu's methods, although she was very good to a few of them, but she never showed mercy to those who betrayed her or calculated herself.
She shook her body uncontrollably, but she knew ruthlessly in her heart, she had no choice at all, if she didn't go back with her mother, those four birds might be her fate, no, maybe worse than them.
The four birds originally thought that Mu Mingshu would more or less pity them when they entered the mansion, but they didn't expect to let them stay in the yard, eat and drink a lot, but they couldn't get out of the yard in one step, like the canary in the cage, they had no freedom for life, and maybe no one would remember if they died one day.
"I" asked Qiu to bite her lip, trembling more and more, thinking about her old son, or her brother and sister-in-law, and her nephew who had just been born, and finally said, "I am willing to go back with my mother." ”
After asking Qiu's words, Li's heart was also relieved, she was afraid that the girl would not be able to figure it out by herself, and she would not be able to get out of the horns, but fortunately she still had some sense.
Mu Mingshu looked at Li's expression in his eyes and lowered his eyes: "It's that she is willing to be good." "There is more or less loss in my heart, and people cannot remain the same forever.
Thinking of Wen Qiu's previous life, but in this life, he ended up like this, and sighed slightly and said: "Her marriage, the concubine still keeps it for her, even if she marries, it is the same as asking about the dowry of spring and winter, in the end, it is a master and servant, and you can ask her if she is still willing." ”
Li knew that Mu Mingshu was lenient, but he didn't want to be lenient to such an extent, and he was still beating the drum in his heart, and he didn't know how to reply for a while.
saw Mu Mingshu waving his hand: "You don't have to reply to the concubine for her immediately, in the end, it is a lifelong event, and it is better to ask her to think clearly for herself." ”
When these words reached Wen Qiu's ears, she also covered the quilt and cried, feeling guilty and blaming herself: "It's all slaves and maids who are not good, slaves and maids shouldn't think like that, slaves and maids should die, slaves and maids should die." ”
In the evening of the same day, Wen Qiu packed his bags and followed the Li family back to Mu Mansion, and when he left, he kowtowed to Mu Mingshu through the door, and didn't say anything.
Mu Mingshu sat in the room and didn't say a word.
When Wenqiu was almost out of the Rui Wangfu, Wenchun came over with a red lacquer carved brocade box, stuffed it into Wenqiu's hand, and said angrily: "The princess gave it to you, you can do it yourself." With that, he turned and walked away.
Wen Qiu looked at her departing back, looking at the familiar Rui Wang's Mansion, her heart was unspeakably uncomfortable, and her face, which was slightly pale due to illness, became more and more impersonal.
She still remembers the scene when she was young when she entered Shaohuayuan on an errand, and she still remembers the affection of the three for herself in spring, summer and winter, and the princess's tolerance for their slaves and maids, and the things she didn't remember in the past seem to be remembered all at once.
Tears fell down his cheeks, blurred his eyes, and he couldn't see the road ahead, even if he felt lost about the future.
Li Shi stood beside Wen Qiu, sighed, and urged: "Let's go, it won't be easy to leave at night." ”
Wen Qiu nodded, held the brocade box stuffed into his hand more and more tightly, turned around and walked side by side with the Li family, the slanting sun hit the mother and daughter, stretching the two of them long, but showing a little loneliness for no reason.
Mu Mingshu estimated that the two of them were almost out of the house, and asked once, and asked angrily: "If you don't leave, will you stay here and wait for death?" ”
Who knew that early in the morning of the second day, there was a question about Qiu hanging himself.
