Even though he looked at Shui Xingyue's cold face, Lu Qingtang still nodded firmly.
She said: "Yes, that's what I think."
"Being a maid is just serving one person, but being a doctor can take care of a group of people. Compared with a group of people, of course I am willing to make a group of people better and give them a new lease of life!"
The opposite person, Shui Xingyue, raised her lips and smiled, then stepped forward and suddenly raised his hand to pat her shoulder.
This blow was a bit hard. Lu Qingtang staggered and almost lost his balance.
She looked at Shui Xingyue blankly, and then heard her say to herself: "I didn't expect that a girl from the countryside is not only kind-hearted, but also has such ideas. I have made you my friend. From now on in Yaowang Valley, I will If you rank third, you will be fourth!”
Lu Qingtang couldn't help but ask: "Then who is first and who is second?"
Shui Xingyue smiled and said loudly: "Of course my father is first and my mother is second!"
With that said, she stretched out her arms to hug Lu Qingtang and whispered in her ear: "But that's all superficial. In fact, my mother is first and my father is second. You must not tell anyone. My father is afraid of embarrassment."
Lu Qingtang nodded mechanically, then shook his head.
She looked at her with some confusion, "I don't understand what you want to do, and now I'm confused."
She knew that this little girl had a wild mind and was somewhat half-baked, but she didn't expect that it would be so difficult to communicate. You have no idea what she wants to do next.
Just now, he looked bossy, but in a blink of an eye, he became a good friend, the fourth best friend.
She didn't even react.
Therefore, it is better to ask clearly to avoid causing trouble later.
However, before Shui Xingyue could speak, Xiangmei shouted at the side.
She pinched her waist and said with a domineering look, "Zhang Xiaohua, don't be ignorant. We, the fourth lady, are friends with you because we think highly of you. Don't be shameless and act like a good boy when you get an advantage..."
"Shut up, what's your business here? It's really a dog meddling in other people's business!" Shui Xingyue opened her mouth and interrupted Xiangmei's words.
She pointed at a few servants casually with her hand, "You, you, and you, drag her out and beat her to see if she dares to bully others in the future!"
Xiangmei looked horrified, and she quickly begged Shui Xingyue for mercy.
She knelt on the ground and kowtowed to her while saying, "Please Miss Fourth, please forgive me. I will never dare to bully anyone again..."
Several named servants immediately stepped forward, ignoring Xiangmei's wails, and dragged her out of Chaohui Hall without any explanation. After a while, her painful screams were heard.
They have also been bullied by Xiangmei, so naturally they will not show mercy.
This is called the wall being pushed down by everyone!
Shui Xingyue put her arms around Lu Qingtang and said to the remaining servants: "Today I, Shui Xingyue, put down my words. If anyone dares to bully Zhang Xiaohua in the future, even if they are at odds with me, Shui Xingyue, I will never let her go!"
Then, she said to Lu Qingtang, who was still confused: "Zhang Xiaohua, no, sister Xiaohua, come and play with me if you have nothing to do. I live in Yuehui Pavilion."
Lu Qingtang, who was stunned for a long time before reacting, looked at Shui Xingyue's leaving figure and couldn't help but murmur in his heart.
Did she get through in front of Shui Xingyue?
Is it that simple?
No, not at all.
Mercury is straightforward but not stupid. If someone approaches her rashly, she will be suspicious.
But this time it was different. This time she took the initiative to deliver it to her door.
If she hadn't inadvertently saved Mrs. Hua, Shui Xingyue, with such a bright and innocent temperament, wouldn't be so trusting. This could be regarded as an accident.
Now, she finally had the opportunity to come into contact with Yaowang Valley's unique secret poison, which would make it easier to confirm her mother's true identity.
Lu Qingtang laughed from the bottom of his heart at the thought of going back to see his three babies soon.
At this time, Xiaofeng stepped forward and said to her with a flattering look on her face: "Sister Xiaohua, let us cut your herbs for you."
"Yes, yes, you are Miss Fourth's good sister, what else do you do?"
"That's right, someone like you will be more than enough for a county magistrate in the future!"
"In the future, we will have to rely on the pretty girls for promotion."
…
Listening to the compliments from the people around him, Lu Qingtang just nodded and smiled, but in his heart he was thinking about how to trick Shui Xingyue's words without revealing any flaws.
Back at Jinhui Hall, Lu Qingtang talked about the afternoon's events with Zeng Ke and Ji Wenzhan during dinner time.
Ji Wenzhan was the first to object after hearing this.
He put down the chopsticks in his hand and said angrily: "No, that stinky girl is moody. Maybe she just wants to bully you because she wants to bully you. If she beats you, we won't be able to protect you immediately."
After hearing this, Lu Qingtang couldn't help but think of the scene when he was beaten that day.
On that occasion, Mercury indeed went too far.
To slap someone indiscriminately to someone you don't know is really hurtful to one's self-esteem. She is just like a spoiled young lady. And what's even more annoying is that she hit her on purpose.
But this afternoon, Lu Qingtang saw another side of her.
Knowing that she had saved Mrs. Hua, she took the initiative to come over to her and treated her as a good friend. She also helped her teach Xiangmei a lesson, which was enough to show that she knew how to repay her kindness.
This alone proves that Mercury is not a bad girl, she just lacks guidance.
Thinking of this, Lu Qingtang said to Ji Wenzhan: "Brother, I know she went too far last time, but she apologized. Let's never mention this incident again. Let's just change the story, okay?"
Zeng Ke weakly raised his little hand and whispered: "Master Tang, actually I think that stinky girl does have some abnormal brains. Don't look back. I'm lying to you. You'd better be careful."
Lu Qingtang nodded, "Since you all think so, I will test her first to see if she is sincere or has other plans."
After the meal, she and Zen Ke went to the well to wash dishes.
To be precise, Lu Qingtang supervised Zeng Ke's washing of dishes. Zeng Ke was very reluctant and took a long time to wash each dish. After washing, he had to hand it over to Lu Qingtang for inspection.
Aunt Wang, who was cooking in the kitchen, quickly stepped forward to help.
She rolled up her sleeves and said to them, "I'm here to help you. Look, you haven't even washed yourself yet."
Zeng Ke quickly smiled and said: "Okay."
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and handed the dishwashing rag to Mrs. Wang.
Aunt Wang was stunned for a moment, then reached out to take the rag from Zeng Ke's hand.
Lu Qingtang, who was urging Zeng Ke to wash the dishes, reached out and patted him on the head, and said angrily: "Why are you so ignorant? Didn't you see that Aunt Wang was joking with you? Why are you joking with Auntie? You must understand Do you understand respecting elders?"
Zeng Ke pursed his lips, retracted his outstretched hand, and continued to lower his head to wash the dishes.
Lu Qingtang smiled and looked up at Aunt Wang, whose expression returned to normal.
She said to her: "I'm sorry, Aunt Wang, my brother had a fever when he was a child and his brain was burned out. He is a little abnormal. He sometimes speaks and does things without thinking. Don't worry about it."
Aunt Wang also laughed and praised: "You are a girl who is sensible, able to endure hardships and take charge of the family. You are a lucky person at first glance. If you don't say anything else, just looking at your face, it looks like wealth!"
Lu Qingtang smiled and nodded, "For those who are not blessed, just survive. Children from poor families will be the masters long ago."
Aunt Wang smiled sheepishly, "Little girl, please forgive me for anything that happened in the past, and don't take it to heart. I'm a person who doesn't have much eyesight and speaks outright, so I tend to be careless when I speak and do things. Don't take it to heart." Blame the aunt."
Lu Qingtang nodded slightly, "It's okay, Aunt Wang, I am also a straight-headed person, and my brain is even more stubborn. I forget some things on the spot."
Aunt Wang's face clearly showed a look of satisfaction.
The incident at Chaohui Hall spread throughout the Yaowang Valley in the afternoon, and as a gossip-loving cook, she naturally knew about it.
In fact, she was not a bad person, she just skipped a few pieces of meat and a few vegetables when serving food to Lu Qingtang and the others. These were all harmless.
But people are always afraid of revenge, and it's normal for her to think so.
After a while, Zeng Ke washed the dishes and chopsticks and sent them back to the house. Lu Qingtang and Aunt Wang were the only ones left by the well.
Aunt Wang looked around, then squatted next to Lu Qingtang, and whispered to her: "Little flower girl, when I tell you something, you must never say that it was my mother who said it."
Seeing how mysterious she was, Lu Qingtang couldn't help but become curious, "Tell me, aunt, I will follow wherever I heard it, and I won't let a third person know about it."
Aunt Wang looked around again and lowered her voice, "Little flower girl, since you have become good friends with Fourth Miss, there is no need to associate with Li Daqing anymore. He... Just listen to my advice, I won't harm you."
Listening to the aunt's nagging words, Lu Qingtang became even more curious.
What happened to Li Daqing?
So she asked again: "Auntie, you are really anxious when you are half-way through what you said. What is wrong with Li Daqing? Please tell me clearly or not. I won't be able to sleep all night."
Aunt Wang frowned, and just when she was about to speak, Lu Qingtang heard footsteps.
He turned around and saw Li Daqing standing in front of him with an angry face, looking furious.
Aunt Wang was so frightened that she whispered to Lu Qingtang: "I'm leaving first, little flower girl, you go ahead and do your work first."
After saying that, she stood up and walked away, hunching her neck as she walked, not daring to raise her head to look at Li Daqing.
Lu Qingtang frowned.
Why is Aunt Wang so afraid of Li Daqing?
It doesn’t seem to be like this on weekdays, right?
To be precise, she was afraid that Li Daqing would be angry. Is he that scary?
She didn't find it scary at all, but found it ridiculous, like an angry dwarf jumping up to hit a giant on the knee.
But Lu Qingtang was even more curious, what was wrong with Li Daqing?
