Chapter 11: Thanks to the woman
When Tang Mian left half a cup of tea, the maid came back.
"Xiaocui, where have you been?" Mrs. County Commander asked with a cold face.
Xiao Cui, who came back in a hurry, panicked for a moment, tensed her back and replied, "Mrs. Hui, the slave maid went to the thatched house." ”
Then I thought that my wife was almost done playing, and I relaxed again.
But who was the woman who had just informed her?
When she arrived at the location she had agreed before going up the mountain, she didn't see anyone at all, so she ran back in a panic.
Xiao Cui's actions made the county lady's eyes sink, and there was really a problem.
Although she didn't believe the woman's words, she was also vigilant in her heart. So when she asked Xiao Cui what to say, her eyes were fixed on Xiao Cui.
Now Xiao Cui's performance made her believe the woman's words a little.
Later, she will find the presiding officer of Yuqing Temple to check the pulse, if she really diagnoses the happy pulse, then the woman's words are true nine times out of ten.
"Mrs. Ben is hungry, you go to the kitchen and get some food to send to the dormitory."
Xiao Cui was stunned for a moment, "Madame, aren't you going to sit in the mountain pavilion at this time?" ”
"I'm tired and want to go back to the dormitory to rest, you go to the kitchen to get some food first." Mrs. County Ling said quietly.
"But..."Xiao Cui is a little anxious, how can she act if she doesn't go to the mountain pavilion?
"But what?" Mrs. County Ling looked at Xiao Cui expressionlessly.
Xiao Cui came back to her senses and immediately shook her head, "It's nothing, the slave will go and get food for the lady." ”
After speaking, he whisked his body and left.
The situation had really changed, and she had to inform the people over there quickly.
After Xiaocui left, Mrs. County Ling did not go back to the dormitory to rest as she said, but turned to find the host.
Tang Mian didn't really leave, but just hid not far away and secretly observed, and after seeing Xiaocui and Mrs. County Commander separate, he guessed that Mrs. County Commander might have believed her words.
Tang Mian thought about it and secretly followed behind Mrs. County Commander. On Xiaocui's side, as long as Mrs. County Ling is suspicious, she will definitely send someone to investigate.
Following along, Tang Mian found that the direction in which Mrs. County Ling went seemed to be the presiding meditation room.
I heard that the presiding officer of Yuqing Temple has good medical skills, and I want to come to the county to determine whether she is pregnant.
When she followed to the vicinity of the presiding meditation room, Tang Mian stopped, she only needed to wait quietly for the county lady to come out.
After a while, Mrs. County, who was stroking her stomach with both hands and a happy face, appeared in Tang Mian's sight again. It seems that Mrs. Prefectural has confirmed that she is pregnant with a child.
In the blink of an eye, Mrs. County's expression became angry again, and she hurriedly left with her stomach protected.
Seeing this, Tang Mian also followed.
After leaving the presiding room, the county lady returned to the dormitory where she was resting.
Next to her lives Mama Liu, who accompanied her up the mountain this time.
After Mama Liu went up the mountain, she felt unwell and had been resting in the room.
At first, Mrs. County Ling thought that Mama Liu was suffering from heat stroke, but now she understands that someone did it on purpose.
Not only did Mama Liu have to lie on the bed to rest as soon as she went up the mountain, but even the two guards were nowhere to be seen.
Before, she was all about worshipping the Bodhisattva, and she was followed by a close maid, so she didn't think much about it. Now I know that everything is arranged by someone with a heart, just to make it easier to attack her.
Mrs. County Ling walked to the door of Mama Liu's resting room and raised her hand to push the door open.
"Ma'am." Mama Liu didn't fall asleep, and when she heard the voice, she turned her head to look at the door, and when she saw that it was Mrs. County, she immediately propped herself up.
"Mama Liu, don't get up, take a good rest." The county magistrate lady entered the door and said.
Mama Liu still supported her body, looked at Mrs. County Ling, and said a little weakly: "People are old, their bodies are not good, and they are so tired that Mrs. came to see me." ”
"Where is Mama Liu, how many years have you taken care of me, in my eyes you are an elder." Mrs. County Ling walked to Mama Liu's bed and sat down and said.
"The old slave doesn't dare."
"Why is Madame here at this time?" According to the usual custom, shouldn't the lady be in the mountain pavilion?
Mama Liu thought suspiciously.
Mrs. County Ling told Mama Liu about the matter with a calm face, and Mama Liu's eyes widened when she heard it, and she gasped and said angrily: "What? That little, dare to murder Madame, see if I don't tear her. ”
"I won't let her go. However, the most important thing now is to find evidence, and she will not admit it without evidence. Moreover, I can't figure out who is behind her. Mrs. County Commander said coldly.
Mama Liu nodded again and again, "Yes, yes, Madame is reasonable." ”
"Speaking of which, I really want to thank the woman who took the risk to remind her, if we were all kept in the dark, the consequences would be unimaginable."
"Well, Mama is right." The county magistrate's wife was also glad that Tang Mian had broken the conspiracy of Xiaocui and the people behind her.
Otherwise, she and the child are in danger.
"Mama, there is something that must be done now. But in Yuqing Temple, I don't have anyone available, so I can only work hard to support my sick body. ”
Mama Liu came to her senses, sat up straight and said, "Madam, please say, the old slave will do things well even if he fights for his life." ”
"Mama, don't worry, it's not to that point." Mrs. County Ling looked at Mama Liu and said.
"I've ordered Xiaocui to go to the kitchen to get me food, I'll drag her later, and Mama will contact the guards who went up the mountain with me, and take them to the mountain pavilion to check." After Xiaocui heard that she didn't go to the mountain pavilion before, she was very anxious, and she guessed that there must be something wrong with the mountain pavilion.
Mama Liu immediately shook her head, "No." I'll take one with me to protect the guard, and the other one will have to stay behind to protect Madame. ”
How could she leave her wife alone to face the people who wanted to harm her.
"It's okay, if you don't have enough manpower, go to the host and ask him for help." Mrs. County Commander nodded and said.
"In addition, you quietly inquire with the masters in the temple to see if you can find the woman who reported to me." After speaking, he told Mama Liu about Tang Mian's dress and appearance.
After hearing this, Mama Liu responded: "Yes, the old slave understands. ”
"After the investigation, the old slave asked the host to check the pulse of the lady and confirm that the lady is safe before she can rest assured."
Mrs. County Ling shook her head with a smile, "No need, I have already asked the host to take a look, and I am fine, but I am more than a month pregnant, so I need to pay more attention." ”
"What? Madame, Madame is pregnant? Mama Liu stared at Mrs. County's stomach in surprise.
"Hmm." Mrs. Prefectural Commander answered her in the affirmative.
Mama Liu was so happy that she clasped her hands together, and there were words in her mouth, "Bodhisattva bless, Bodhisattva bless, Madame is finally happy!" ”
Mrs. County Ling also touched her stomach with a smile on her face, the emperor lived up to his wishes, drank so many medicines, worshiped the Bodhisattva for so long, and finally became pregnant.
However, now is not the time to be happy, and her heart will not be at peace for a moment without finding out who wants to harm her.
"Mama, I'll go back to the room first, and you will go to investigate after you find the guards later." Mrs. County Commander stood up and said.
Mama Liu responded: "Okay." Madame, don't worry, I'll get things done. ”
"Mama is doing things, I am relieved."
After the county lady finished speaking, she left Mama Liu's room, and Mama Liu immediately lifted the quilt, got dressed and got out of bed.
