Seeing Huaizhu crying more and more fiercely, I did make her shed a lot of tears during this period, and my heart softened. I thought I would take it one step at a time, so I took out the handkerchief to wipe her tears and said, "You If you don’t want to leave, I won’t chase you away, we are still good sisters.”
Huaizhu asked me worriedly: "Seriously?"
I nodded: "Seriously."
From the beginning to the end, I never let Huaizhu know that I wanted to leave the Prime Minister's Mansion. Because it's better to do less than to do more, I never said it.
Life in the Prime Minister's Mansion is now very difficult, and I have begun to think about running away.
Otherwise, I will either be forced to have a child or be forced to die. Anyway, neither Li nor Liu Huaian will let me reconcile easily.
They, mother and son, understand better than anyone else that no matter how unfavored I am, I am still the Taifu's daughter.
In the court, my father Fan Zi at least stood with him for my sake and strengthened his power.
Not to mention that Ling Hui is still there?
As long as Liu Huai'an coaxes me into submission and shows a beautiful picture of husband and wife loving each other in front of outsiders, his career will not be easily affected.
Both of them, emotionally and rationally, would have a firm hold on me and would not let me get my wish.
The only thing I'm worried about is what will happen to Huaizhu after I run away. Of course I can't bear to leave her in the Prime Minister's Mansion and be beaten and punished by Liu Huaian and Dai Shishi, so I want to put her in a good place before leaving.
As a result, the silly girl refused to let go, which made me feel both happy and sad.
I'm happy that someone treats me wholeheartedly like this, but I'm worried that it's hard for two people to run away!
If I were alone and I could climb over the wall in the middle of the night and escape, I could go out and support myself. With an extra Sophora japonica, running away would become a problem, not to mention that I would have to support my family along the way.
For this reason, I had to put this idea down for now and wait until I find the right time to talk about it.
I asked Huaizhu, "Is there anything to eat? I'm a little hungry after all the fuss."
Hearing this, Huaizhu looked at me dumbfounded: "As expected of a young lady, she is still thinking about eating at this time."
I pretended to be joking: "Isn't this just to divert your attention?"
Huaizhu wiped her tears with a handkerchief, stood up and said, "Then wait, I'll go to the kitchen to see if there's anything else to eat."
I nodded to her, watched her go out, and took a sip of the warm tea.
I think Liu Huaian won't come to trouble me in the short term.
But I ignored Mr. Li.
Facing Sophora japonica and returning empty-handed, I was so angry that I gritted my silver teeth secretly.
Huaizhu hesitated and said: "Since there is no food in the kitchen, I... I will try to get some for you..."
I understood, it turned out to be Mrs. Li. She hated me for kicking Liu Huai'an, and directly ordered the kitchen not to give me and Huaizhu dinner.
It is said that a few hungry meals will make your memory long.
Let me know who is heaven and earth in this Prime Minister's Mansion.
I took Huaizhu's hand and said earnestly, "Forget it if it doesn't happen. We can just find a way ourselves."
Huaizhu knew that I had the ability to turn decay into magic. After hearing what I said, she couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief and asked me, "What can I do? Is there any place where slaves can be useful?"
I whispered something into her ear.
She nodded in agreement.
A dark, windy night is suitable for doing some shady things.
When no one was around in the middle of the night, Huaizhu and I sneaked into the back kitchen and picked up the leeks, cucumbers, and eggplants on the vegetable rack. We also picked up some pork belly, beef, quail eggs, and other small vegetables.
Finally, he collected the remaining fruits from the kitchen, carried oil, salt, chili noodles, and pepper noodles, and secretly returned to his small courtyard.
I have never been so grateful as I am today that Fan Xuezhi is not favored by this prime minister.
In other courtyards, there are a lot of maids and women, but here we only have Huaizhu and me. We want to be as clean as we want, and as comfortable as we want.
Don't worry at all, someone will come to visit you in the middle of the night.
Don’t worry if it’s broad daylight.
It’s just the two of us anyway.
I asked Huaizhu to clean the vegetables and meat, then took out the charcoal that I had secretly prepared and went to the yard to start a fire.
After the charcoal fire was strong, I used chopsticks to skewer the things, then sat on the small bench and started to grill them over and over.
Because I had this intention for a long time, many things were quietly prepared in advance.
The moon above our head looks like a silver plate, shining brightly. Even without a night light, we can still see it clearly. The breeze blows, and it can be mixed with the fragrance of flowers.
Huaizhu didn't know it was barbecue, but she was smart and knew everything, so she just imitated me and skewered the cucumbers and grilled them on the charcoal fire.
While she was baking, she asked me: "Where did Miss learn so many new tricks?"
I pretended to smile mysteriously: "I won't tell you."
Huaizhu roasted cucumbers and muttered: "I always feel like the young lady has become a different person from now on."
When I had nothing to do, I asked her: "Am I getting better or worse?"
Huaizhu thought for a long time: "I can't tell. Anyway, it's different. I dare to resist others, but it also puts myself in a more disadvantageous situation."
I smiled and handed her the roasted pork belly: "Come and try it. How does it taste?"
Huaizhu looked at the pork belly that was roasted to a crisp on the outside and tender on the inside, and sprinkled with chili powder and pepper. Feeling the tangy aroma of the meat, he took it without hesitation, took a big bite, and said with a smile: "Don't say anything else. , judging from the young lady’s cooking skills, she is already unparalleled.”
Seeing how greedy and happy she looked, I took a piece of pork belly and ate it happily.
After eating until we were excited, Huaizhu asked Huaizhu to bring out the sweet-scented osmanthus wine that I brewed last year. We ate meat and drank wine at the same time. It wasn’t until late at night that we were full and drunk, and fell asleep without finishing the fun.
The next day, the ladies in the kitchen exploded with flowers.
I thought there was a thief in the prime minister's house.
Others said that the Kitchen God came back to look for food.
Huaizhu and I laughed from ear to ear listening to these rumors.
As a result, at the nursing home, Mother Lin knelt down in front of Mrs. Li tremblingly.
Mother Liu stepped forward and slapped her in the face, glaring at her sternly: "Tell me! Did you steal the vegetable pulp from the kitchen?"
Mother Lin was beaten until tears welled up in her eyes, and she quickly threw herself at Mrs. Li's feet and begged for mercy: "Old madam, please forgive me. I was on duty last night. I took care of everything in the kitchen before leaving. I don't know anything about this." How could it be missing?"
Mother Liu slapped her again and scolded: "Nonsense! If you don't recruit me from the truth, I will call you Laifu."
Mother Lin was so frightened that she kept kowtowing: "Spare my life! Spare my life! Spare my life, Mama Liu! Spare my life, old lady! I did drink chicken soup secretly under the instruction of Miss Dai before, but I never thought about stealing chicken soup from the kitchen." Something else."
Ms. Li raised her palm to stop her from continuing and asked Mama Liu beside her: "Is this the case?"
Mother Liu changed from showing off her power and said to Mr. Li humbly and orderly: "Mr. Liu has admitted it, so it must be true."
Mrs. Li nodded to show her understanding and told her: "Okay, go and find Miss Dai for me."
