When Su Jin woke up, it was already noon the next day. She slowly opened her eyes, and what she saw was the anxious and surprised face of Nanny Liu.
Seeing that Su Jin was awake, Grandma Liu almost cried with joy and said hurriedly,
"Auntie, what's wrong with you? You were unconscious on the ground last night, and you were discovered by the little maid this morning."
Su Jin opened her mouth, only to feel that her throat was dry and sore. Her mouth felt like a field that had not rained for many days in summer, so dry that she could not make a sound.
Su Jin composed herself, swallowed hard several times, and then said hoarsely,
"One night?"
Aunt Liu nodded repeatedly and said,
"Yes! Auntie! This morning I scared old slave and Miss Yuyan! Miss Yuyan cried on you, but you didn't even respond!"
Beautiful face!
This name hurt Su Jin deeply!
Long-lasting memories come flooding in again like a tidal wave!
Su Jin waved her hand and motioned for Nanny Liu to get some water.
At this moment, Su Jin realized that there was something wrong with the room, but she couldn't tell what was wrong.
After all, Grandma Liu had been with Su Jin for many years. When she saw Su Jin's confused eyes, she knew what she was thinking, so while serving Su Jin a drink of water, she said,
"Auntie, half of the maids in Kejiju have been transferred elsewhere by the Marquis."
No wonder Kejiju is so quiet.
In the past, although the maids did not dare to make loud noises here, they were always popular when they came and went.
Instead of being as depressed as he is now.
Su Jin asked hoarsely,
"Why?"
When Grandma Liu heard this, she shed two tears.
"After Shen Ying served the Marquis last night, he suddenly had a high fever and couldn't stop vomiting for some unknown reason in the middle of the night. When the Marquis asked, Shen Ying said he had taken the medicine you gave him. The Marquis was furious! The Marquis blamed his aunt for not doing things properly, so she let him My aunt has been staying in Kejiju this month to recuperate and copy Buddhist scriptures, saying that because she is not in good health, she will not be allowed to go to the Buddhist hall."
Recuperate!
Isn't it just a grounding?
Su Jin felt cold inside!
The situation of Shen Ying must also be caused by the backlash of "Pu Lian".
Su Jin knew very well that, in fact, Shen Ying should not have such a strong "backlash".
Because the amount of "Pu Lian" used on Shen Ying was far less than that of herself. She must have been tortured by Hong Peiju last night. In addition, the "pregnancy-promoting medicine" contained herbs that promote blood circulation and replenish qi, which led to "Pu Lian". The onset of "ripple" backlash.
Hong Peiju must have thought that she had given Shen Ying some "poison".
Su Jin felt very blocked.
What made her even more confused was that her "backlash" had come out, so why was there no movement from the two girls of the Ji family?
At this moment, Hong Peiju wouldn’t believe it if she said it was a “pregnancy-promoting drug”!
"What about Yu Yan?"
At this time, Yu Yan should take a lunch break.
Aunt Liu wiped away her tears and sighed,
"The Marquis also said that Miss Yuyan was taught not to know etiquette by her aunt, and was always punished by the nuns in the palace. She will definitely lose the face of the Marquis in the future. Therefore, in the recent period, Miss Yuyan was asked to go to the Madam's courtyard. Here, learn the rules from Madam, and at the same time help Miss Liuli prepare the dowry."
Su Jin felt like she had fallen into an ice cave at this moment.
The scene from more than ten years ago flashed into my mind.
That year, I wish my aunt a good life and good appearance.
Wearing a green shirt, she looks like a hibiscus emerging from the water.
So far, Su Jin feels that Aunt Gui is the only one who can be equal to Aunt Zhu at that time.
Aunt Zhu was attracted by the Honglu Temple Minister who came to the Hou Mansion as a guest, and Hong Peiju asked Aunt Zhu to accompany her for a drink.
Unexpectedly, Aunt Zhu refused to comply.
After the Minister of Honglu Temple left, Hong Peiju scolded Aunt Zhu,
"You bitch! You are as stupid as a pig! Do you think that you can become a master just by giving birth to a daughter? You mother and daughter are both bitches! Do you know what kind of opportunities you have made me lose today? I can't enter the court. Tang, your daughter will also be destined to be a concubine in the future! That’s all! You have to think clearly, otherwise, my palace will not support idle people!"
Then, Aunt Zhu began to linger on the sickbed.
Meilin's status in the Hou Mansion was not even as good as that of Ke Jiju's maid.
Su Jin later gradually understood that because Aunt Zhu had been ill, Mrs. Yang was still kind, and there was Mei Lin, and Mei Lin would be useful to Hong Peiju in the future, so Aunt Zhu and her daughter were able to survive until now.
But what about yourself?
Is it no longer useful?
Thinking of this, Su Jin suddenly grabbed Nanny Liu's hand and asked, her eyes filled with frightening fear, and she asked somewhat crazily,
"Mommy, am I useless? Am I no longer useful to the Marquis? Will the Marquis let me die? Will I be like Aunt Zhu in the future? Together with Xiang Lin, our mother and son will Do you have to be imprisoned in Kejiju until old age or death?"
Aunt Liu quickly held Su Jin's hand and comforted her,
"No, aunt won't! It's just that now that Mr. Hou is angry and confused by Shen Ying's little hoof, Mr. Hou has forgotten how good aunt is. In fact, aunt has worked hard for Mr. Hou these years. Ma, how come the Marquis doesn’t remember anything?”
Su Jin seemed to have lost all her strength, and said in a confused and sad voice,
"Really? Is it like this?"
Aunt Liu nodded repeatedly and said,
"Yes! Yes! Auntie, don't think too much. When we recover, we can bear the backlash of this Pu Lian. By that time, we will not only have made great contributions in front of the Marquis, but also in front of the Duke of Guo. Great achievements have been made before us! The day has come for us to turn around. If you don't care about anything else, for the sake of Master Xiang Lin, you have to take care of yourself first!"
Su Jin looked at Nanny Liu in confusion, and suddenly a light flashed in her eyes.
"Yes! Yes! You are right, I have to take good care of myself first! Then, after I get over it, the Duke of Guo can give that thousand-year-old blood ginseng to my Xianglin to cure his illness!"
At this time, the soothing medicine took effect and Su Jin fell asleep again.
Aunt Liu covered Su Jin with a thin quilt and sighed deeply.
She even regrets now that she had the chance to leave the house when Hong Xianglin was weaned.
As the nanny of the young master of the Hou Mansion, the Hou Mansion would give her a large sum of money, and the money would be enough for her to buy a yard, and the remaining money would be used to provide for her retirement.
But Mother Liu listened to Su Jin's words and stayed with Su Jin to help her.
It is undeniable that following Su Jin these years, life in the Hou Mansion has been very comfortable. Not to mention the scenery, it can be regarded as carefree and happy.
But since the Ji sisters arrived, Keji Bureau's life has gone from bad to worse.
When Grandma Liu calmed down, she often asked herself, why must she fight with the Ji sisters?
They didn't mess with us.
Aunt Yuan, Aunt Zhuo, and Aunt Zhu lived their lives honestly. What was the Ji sisters like before they came to the Hou Mansion? After they came, they continued to live their lives as usual.
Why must we fight to the death with the Ji sisters?
Where does this hatred come from?
Was Aunt Su wrong from the beginning?
Grandma Liu suddenly felt confused.
But what's the use of talking about this now?
