One night passed, Lu's face was no longer pale, and she looked better again.
She wore a simple bun with a pearl and jasper jade stick in her hair. She was wearing a lotus-colored jacket and a light purple skirt. She was lying on the Arhat bed reading a book.
Seeing Xu Nuo come in, Mrs. Lu put down the book in her hand, picked up the wolf hair on the desk and wrote: "What happened? Why was Si Niang grounded by the eldest lady?"
Dongmei read it once.
After hearing this, Xu Nuo sat next to Lu and shook her arm coquettishly: "Mom, the baby is in front of you. You don't ask the baby, only ask the fourth sister. The baby is unhappy."
With a doting smile, Mrs. Lu pinched Xu Nuo's cheek, and then wrote: "The one who loves me the most is you. It's just that your fourth sister has always been obedient and polite. She has never been punished since she was a child. I don't know today." What is it for? Half an hour ago I asked Dongmei to go over there and ask, but Siniang said it was nothing and told me not to worry."
As expected of White Lotus, she was obviously punished. It was the first time she had been punished since she was a child, and she still said it was fine.
At this time, doesn't it mean that something is okay?
Don't you just want your mother to know that you have been wronged and should not be punished? Don't you want your mother to intercede for you?
Don’t you just want to show that you are a well-behaved and sensible daughter?
OK, I'll help you.
Xu Nuo had no expression on her face, and highlighted the things Xu Qian was not polite about, telling Madam Lu. She didn't want her mother to go to Ms. Ding to plead for a white lotus like Xu Qian.
After hearing this, Mrs. Lu's face darkened, she stopped talking about Xu Qian's affairs, and only asked people to prepare the meal.
After lunch, Xu Nuo returned to the house, drank a bowl of pain-numbing medicine in one breath, and slept quietly on the couch before Grandma Li and Chun Tang left one after another.
After the two left, she gently opened the back window and quickly climbed out.
Just as he settled down, he saw Qi Qiyue coming this way.
The maidservant is not allowed to enter the master's house. She doesn't really care about this rule, but if she comes to talk to Qiyue alone, it will inevitably make others suspicious.
"I don't have amnesia."
This was what Xu Nuo said, but Qi Qi was not surprised. Her eyes were as calm as lake water and she asked, "What do you want me to do?"
"Let me ask you, are you one of Aunt Du, Fourth Sister, or Auntie Du?" Xu Nuo had tortured prisoners when he was a special police officer, so he still had some confidence in judging whether a thirteen-year-old maid was lying.
"No." July replied.
After staring into Qiyue's still calm eyes for a while, Xu Nuo took a breath and said softly: "Okay, is there any rumor in the house that my mother was poisoned? Who else knows about this?"
She is now the sixth wife of the Xu family. She can't even go out of the Xu family's hanging flower door on weekdays. It's really inconvenient to do some things. It would be best if Nanny Li could be asked to help, but now that she is pretending to have amnesia, Nanny Li sees her as a child who knows nothing about the past, so she can't ask Nanny Li.
After thinking about it all night, she decided to confess to Qiyue that she had no amnesia and take her as her own.
This decision was made because Grandma Li asked Qi Qi to take her out of the house secretly. Qi Qi was not timid, which shows that she has courage. Moreover, she walked very fast yesterday, but Qi Qiu gritted her teeth and kept up with her speed. She didn't ask any useless questions. When she came back, Qi Qiu knew with just one sentence that she was going to climb over the wall and return to the house. It can be seen that she can endure hardships without talking too much, and she is also very smart. It is reassuring to find someone like this to work with.
"There are no rumors yet. Except for the master of the family, maybe some maids and maids in the ladies' courtyard know about it, but they have kept their mouths shut." Qiyue thought for a while and answered. She was called by Alang that day for questioning, so she guessed What happened when they came out, other maids must have guessed it.
Xunuo touched her neatly manicured nails, frowned, and asked doubtfully: "Since grandfather knew about this, why didn't he punish me?" She remembered that the Xu family attached great importance to the word filial piety, so how could he let her go?
"Alang knelt in the ancestral hall for three nights after returning from Kunshan County." Qiyue only said one sentence, and Xu Nuo understood.
My father actually went to kneel in the ancestral hall for him!
Do you stay at the couch to take care of me during the day, and go to kneel in the ancestral hall at night?
No wonder I saw him so tired that day, as if he would collapse if the wind blew.
Xunuo was stunned for a moment, then hooked her fingers, let Qiyue come closer, and whispered some words in her ear.
After hearing this in Qiyue, her eyes were bright and her voice became much happier: "Don't worry, madam, I won't let you down." After saying this, he took the heavy purse that was promised and turned around to leave.
I slept very peacefully that night and slept until midnight.
After waking up, Xu Nuo found that her whole body was sore.
Sure enough, my body is too young and I haven't received any exercise. Is it that I can't bear the amount of activity yesterday? While rubbing my legs, I secretly thought about exercising more in the future.
"Is there a doctor coming over from my mother's side?"
"No."
From Chenshi to Shenshi, this conversation was repeated more than a dozen times within five hours.
Although Zhu Shang is a tough guy, he always sticks to his word and never deceives others. How come we haven't seen the miracle doctor come today at Shenshi!
It'll be dark if you don't come back!
Just as he was in a hurry, Chun Tang hurried in and said happily: "Here he comes!"
Xu Nuo took a deep breath: "Where are you? Who brought it here?"
"Take this, madam. It's time to arrive at the corridor of Yingcheng Courtyard." Chuntang smiled, put on the trousers for Xunuo, and the two of them headed towards Yingcheng Courtyard like a storm, but Grandma Li had already passed by.
When Xu Nuo entered the room, the miracle doctor was already sitting behind the screen.
Zhu Shang said that he would closely protect the fact that Jigoro was a miracle doctor and would not expose Jigoro's identity. Xu Nuo originally thought that Zhu Shang would ask him to pretend to be an old man to completely hide his face and age, but he didn't know that he only wore a scarf on his face.
Not reliable!
Can this be called two favors?
An opportunity to ask for help was snuffed out by a face towel!
Zhu Shang, profiteer!
A profit-seeking villain!
Xunuo glanced at Jigoro one more time when he walked around the screen. He was fourteen or fifteen years old, exuding a strong bookish air, and was extremely quiet. Sitting there, he was like air, making people unable to feel his presence. The eyes exposed outside the scarf are like a clear spring, and the eyebrows are long and heavy, but there is an inverted figure.
Mrs. Ding was introducing the origin of Ji Wulang at this moment. She was very legendary and added a few words at the end: "Although this miracle doctor is not old, he was introduced to your elder brother by Shopkeeper Zhu. He must be reliable. Sister-in-law, you Maybe I can speak again."
Xu Nuo frowned imperceptibly. Zhu Shang was just the shopkeeper of a gambling house. How could he have anything to do with his uncle? Moreover, Ding seemed to trust Zhu Shang very much in his words. This showed that Zhu Shang's status was not low. Could it be that he Is there any other business that can be done?
After finishing talking inside, Jigoro was invited in and was surrounded by a room of women. His face was slightly red under the scarf, and he didn't dare to raise his eyes, only staring at the toes of his shoes.
He usually checks the pulse of ordinary people and prescribes medicine on the streets of Suzhou, but he has never seen such a situation.
