12 Mother and daughter
Qu Shi looked at her in a daze, and he didn't know why.
Tian Ma said in a low voice: "These two servant women have been staying at our house since yesterday, it is said that Mrs. Wei left them here, she should help Mrs. Wei take care of people, but when you look at them, they seem to be looking at us." ”
Qu's was overly anxious and unconcerned because of his daughter's changes, so he didn't notice this, and now Jingtian's mother also found something strange. Thinking about Xu Da and Wei's behavior carefully, she simply regretted her intestines, and she really should be more wary of this couple.
Qu Shi froze: "You're right, I can't fall, Lingfu still has to rely on me, my aunt, to find a way." ”
She gritted her teeth, took the bowl of soup and poured it down in one gulp. Putting down the bowl, Qu walked straight between the two servants.
"You two go out and find the Spirit Mansion, what's the use of just holding a pestle here."
The two servants glanced at each other, and one of them said, "My lady asked us to help Mrs. Qu take care of her here, but she didn't let us go outside to find someone." ”
Qu Shi said angrily: "Help me take care of it here?" What to look after? If the Spirit Mansion is lost in your house, you should all go out to find it! ”
The two servants didn't take Qu in their eyes, and simply turned a deaf ear.
Qu gritted his teeth: "Okay, if you don't go out to look for it, don't pestle it at my house, you go out for me!" ”
Qu grabbed a servant woman in one hand and pushed it out of the door. But the two servants were much stronger than the thin Qu family, and they couldn't push at all.
Seeing that the two servants were bullying the Qu family like this, Tian Ma directly picked up the bamboo broom on the wall and shouted: "Lady get out of the way, let the old slave sweep them out!" ”
Tian Ma was not polite at all, and the big broom was like two servant women coming at her. In the face of Tian's mother's relentless blow, the two mothers-in-law screamed wow, and were driven out of the door by Tian's mother one after another.
Lingfu happened to see this scene when he came to the door.
"Tian Ma." Lingfu called.
Tian Ma looked up and glanced at the person who came in a hurry, it didn't matter, she threw the broom directly and rushed over.
"Lingfu!" Tian's mother looked up and down and exclaimed, "Why are you dressed like this?" Hou hurriedly shouted at Qu again: "Lady, lady! Lingfu is back! ”
When the two servants heard this, they immediately surrounded them and stared at the Lingfu, but they saw two servants behind the Lingfu.
The two mothers-in-law obviously replied wrongly, thinking that this was Xu Baixing's trustee who found Xu Lingfu, and the corners of their eyebrows and eyes were full of pride.
Qu Shi ran out when he heard Tian's mother's scream, stopped in front of the Lingfu, looked at his daughter steadily, and then hugged her, tears like rain.
Lingfu waited for a moment, gently pushed Qu away and asked, "Ah Niang, why is your head injured?" ”
Qu shook his head and took her hand: "Go home, said in the house." ”
Lingfu said to the two messengers: "Thank you two escorts, please report back to the county to order me to get home." ”
The two messengers nodded and wanted to leave, but the two mothers-in-law listened strangely, and one of them stepped forward and asked, "Are the two sent by Xu Sihu?" ”
"Didn't you hear that? Some are appointed by the prefectural order. The officer replied, but walked away without stopping.
The two mothers-in-law glanced at each other, and one said, "County order? Does our county have a county order? Isn't it all managed by Jiang County? ”
The other said: "How do we know about such things, you are guarding here, don't let people go, I will go back and report to the lady." ”
Qu and Lingfu ignored the servants outside the door, mother and daughter saw each other, Qu was concerned about what happened to Lingfu, Tian's mother helped them bring it to the door with great eyes, so that the mother and daughter could talk freely.
Lingfu told the truth about the matter. Qu Shi was resentful for a while, sad for a while, and when she knew that her daughter was a martial artist and had a friendship with Cui Xianling, she couldn't help but open her mouth in surprise, the thrilling of this day made her difficult to digest for a while, and finally she only asked: "Then are you really okay?" ”
Lingfu stretched out his hand: "Except for the scratching of the skin on her fingers, my daughter has nothing to do." ”
Qu Shi suddenly relaxed, and held the hand of Lingfu with both hands: "A-Niang will rub the medicine for you." ”
Lingfu: "It's okay, you don't need to rub the medicine, it's already scabbed." But Auntie, what's going on with your injury? ”
Qu Shi: "A-Niang is fine, I went out to look for you last night, and I tripped and stumbled, it doesn't matter." ”
Lingfu felt a hot current in her heart, as an orphan, she had never experienced what maternal love was before, but since she crossed into this body, she couldn't avoid feeling her mother's care and love for her daughter from Qu again and again.
However, she didn't know how to respond to this maternal love, so she only showed respect and obedience to Qu, who also thought that this was the alienation caused by the separation of mother and daughter for many years, and it would take time to reconcile.
Qu is ashamed to know very little about her daughter, seeing that she has always refused to open her heart to herself after she came back, and she doesn't even know that she has martial arts, it seems that she has indeed missed a lot of things as a mother over the years.
She suppressed her sadness and guilt, and said to Lingfu: "Let's talk about these things later, haven't you eaten yet?" I asked Tian Ma to make some food. ”
She took two steps outside and stopped: "In the future, Xu Baixing's family will no longer be our relatives, although A-Niang is incompetent, she will definitely try her best to protect you and no longer let you be humiliated!" ”
Lingfu kept watching Qu's figure disappear, and his body slowly leaned on the couch.
She was tired.
This day and night of continuous hard work and nervousness had exhausted her physical energy. At this moment, in this new home where she had only lived for half a month, she slowly relaxed, and when it was time to eat, she unconsciously leaned on the couch and fell asleep.
Qu brought the food, only to find that Lingfu was asleep. She didn't want to wake up her daughter, and was about to quietly withdraw, but Lingfu suddenly woke up and sat up straight.
"Auntie."
Nervous for too long, even after sleeping, a little sound can still wake her up.
Qu felt sorry for his daughter's exhaustion, so he said, "Tired, right? Sleep well after eating. ”
Lingfu: "I can't sleep A-Niang, I have to go back to the yamen after eating with you." ”
Qu's hand holding the bowl paused: "Go back?" ”
"Yes, this time it was Cui County Ling who specially asked me to come back to report your safety. The county government is busy, and Cui County Commander is a new official who has arrived, and it is indispensable to need people. Lingfu said while burying his head in eating.
Qu lowered his head to eat, thought silently for a while, and put down his rice bowl.
"Lingfu, don't blame Ah Niang for being verbose, through this incident, our mother must be vigilant against people in the future...... Is this Cui County Order a reassuring official? ”
Lingfu understands Qu's worries, Qu and Cui Yuanting have never met, and in Qu's cognition, Cui Xianling only has two attributes: male, official.
These two attributes made Qu unable to reassure.
So Lingfu also put down the bowl and told her what Cui County Ling had done all the way.
At the end, she said: "I know A-Niang's intentions, and I will definitely deal with it carefully by Cui County's side, at least so far, Cui County's order has shown an upright and benevolent side, and he is more willing to believe in him than the uncle's family, and we also need to completely get rid of the threat of the uncle's family through him." ”
Qu reluctantly nodded and said, "He is an official, you are a citizen, he is a man, you are a woman, no matter how you say it, you are in a weak position." My mother also hopes that he is a true gentleman, otherwise ......"
Qu didn't say anything more, just shook his head helplessly.
