Lian Suisui sat down against the altar table and waited for Xiao Tao to deliver the meal. By noon, her stomach was growling with hunger, but no one came.
She had to seriously reflect, what was her mother so angry about?
The sun shone in through the window of the ancestral hall, and it was warm at noon. Lian Suisui was drowsy. He didn't know how long he had been asleep. In his daze, the door of the ancestral hall was pushed open from the outside, and Lian Fangyu, wearing official robes, came in. When I came in, I was heartbroken to see her like this.
"Sui Sui, get up quickly, dad will take you out!"
Lian Suisui opened his eyes just a slit.
"Dad, I won't go out. I made my mother angry. My mother should punish me."
Although she didn't know what she had done wrong, Mrs. Qin would definitely not punish her for no reason. Mrs. Qin was not so angry when she drugged King Cheng to crawl into bed at the last palace banquet. The original owner must have done something to make her Taking the blame.
Just have to figure it out.
Lian Fangyu said angrily: "It's not a big deal. My daughter can match any man in the world. The Ninth Prince was once the most popular prince in the capital. Even if he is lame and sick, as long as my girl likes it, dad will help her." You go and test the Ninth Prince’s mind!”
Lian Suisui was so excited that his drowsiness was instantly gone.
WTF?
Does she like Uncle Nine Emperors?
Where did this rumor come from?
Lian Fangyu looked at Lian Suisui with a complicated expression. Does she really like the Ninth Prince? When I mention the Ninth Prince, I instantly become energetic...
"Mom, did you hear any rumors when you went out today?"
Lian Sui realized later that her mother suddenly became angry after she came back from outside. There was only one thing that could make her mother angry.
"No, I can explain it. Why didn't Mom ask me?"
She got up from the ground and walked out.
"Sui Sui, it doesn't matter. You have good food and sex. It's not shameful for a woman to like a handsome young man. Besides, the Ninth Prince single-handedly defeated foreign enemies and was a hero of our Chu country. There is no shame in liking him."
Lian Suisui couldn't tell whether Lian Fangyu really doted on her or had other motives.
He persuaded her to become King Cheng's concubine, and now he reassured her that it was not a shame to like Chu Zhiyi. Did he take sides? Which side was he on?
"Oh, dad, you don't understand, I'll go tell mom!"
Lian Suisui ran to the main courtyard in one breath. Xiao Tao was kneeling in the courtyard with a bowl of water on his head. He didn't know how long he had been kneeling. He looked wilted.
In my memory, her mother never punished servants corporally. This was the first time, which showed that her mother was really angry.
Lian Suisui stepped forward and took the water off Xiao Tao's head, then reached out to pull her.
"Xiao Tao, didn't you explain to my mother? I saved the eldest princess today. Who knows when the Ninth Prince will appear behind me. I just accidentally bumped into him, and it was not intentional. If my mother is punished for this matter, You have gone too far!"
Her voice was low enough for people in the room to hear.
Xiao Tao said aggrievedly: "Miss, my servant said so."
You will be punished just because you said it.
She didn't see Lian Suisui saving anyone with her own eyes, so Mrs. Qin thought she was helping Lian Suisui lie, so she was punished by being forced to kneel with a water bowl in front of her.
She was implicated by Lian Suisui.
Lian Suisui was speechless.
Aunt Fang opened the curtain.
"Miss, madam, please come in and talk."
Mrs. Qin was very majestic when she was angry. She even adjusted her breathing and howled before entering the door.
"Mom, you really misunderstood!"
The first step to clear her name was to attack her own mother. It was also because the original owner had done so many unreliable things that Qin had no trust in her at all, which led to today's situation.
"Stand still!"
Mrs. Qin gave a sharp shout and Suisui pursed her lips.
"Mom, Xiao Tao should have told you about the situation at that time. I went to get some medicine, and when I was resting in a teahouse, I heard someone spreading rumors about me and Uncle Nine Emperors. I asked Xiao Tao to inquire about it. At this time, the carriage of the eldest princess happened to roll over. The eldest princess’s heart disease relapses…”
"She didn't lie. I saw that the situation was urgent and there was no doctor, so I ran down to save people!"
Mrs. Qin looked at her coldly, the expression on her face seemed to say, "Keep making it up."
Lian Sui Sui Fu forehead.
"Mom, it's true. I really rescued the eldest princess. You can send someone to the eldest princess's house to ask, or you can go to the Nine Emperors Uncle's house to ask! Many people have seen it!"
No wonder Qin didn't believe her. If she was told that she had caused some trouble when she went out today, Qin believed that she saved people?
"How come I didn't know you had medical skills?"
The topic came back again.
Even Suisui didn't intend to hide the fact that he had medical skills.
"Mom, I always felt confused before, maybe because my soul has not returned to its original place. Ever since I went to the hell gate at the palace banquet, and then opened my eyes, I suddenly felt like I was back to normal."
All things that cannot be explained can be classified as metaphysics, and there is no place to check it anyway.
"Mother, do you still remember that the imperial doctor said that the amount of Mongolian sweat medicine in me was several times greater than the normal dose. A normal person who takes this dose of Mongolian sweat medicine would have gone to see the King of Hell in his sleep. I am still alive."
"As the saying goes, if you survive a catastrophe, you will be blessed later. I don't know why I have medical skills. At that moment, a flash of light suddenly flashed in my mind, and I knew what to do and how to save people."
Lian Suisui casually gave a reason. Regardless of whether others believed it or not, she was the real Miss Lian San.
Qin didn't speak, as if she was thinking about the authenticity of her words.
After a long silence, Mrs. Qin said: "Go back first. If you dare to tell lies, I will expel you from the house! Don't call me mother again!"
"Mom, what about Xiaotao, can you go back with me?"
She was exempted from punishment and did not forget to take Xiaotao with her. It was indeed different from before when she only cared about herself.
Mrs. Qin nodded and allowed her to take him away first.
Lian Suisui said happily: "Thank you, mother!"
She walked to the door and turned back.
"Mom, are you really okay? Do you want me to check your pulse?"
Mrs. Qin had a smile on her face.
"No, you go back first."
Qin's face is rosy and her breathing is steady and strong. There should be nothing serious wrong with her.
Lian Suisui happily opened the curtain and walked out of the room.
The smile on Qin's face suddenly disappeared.
What she said needs to be confirmed, but Mrs. Qin has a knot in her heart, unable to change from the disappointed and angry mood, and cannot get close to her.
"Mommy, do you think she...will be taken away?"
Grandma Fang also found it strange that a person who had lived under their noses for more than ten years suddenly changed his temperament and even learned medical skills without a teacher...if what she said was true.
Grandma Fang didn't know what to say.
"Madam, it is impossible for the young lady to lie about such a big matter. If you are really worried, after this matter is confirmed in two days, we will take the third lady to the temple to worship."
Mrs. Qin sighed: "The eldest princess is going to bring some gifts to try out. You can go and do it yourself."
Aunt Fang responded yes.
Even Suisui knew that the original owner had done a lot of things that made Mei Niang sad. The relationship between mother and daughter could not be repaired for a while, but there was no rush.
Her mother is still angry for her, which shows that she has not completely given up on her.
"Miss, are you still angry, madam? It's all your fault. I will definitely take good care of you next time and won't let those gossips talk about you again!"
Lian Suisui sighed. No one was to blame for what happened today. The only blame was that the original owner had such a bad reputation. It was rare for him to do a good deed and yet he was misunderstood...
It was almost dark now, and the master and servant had eaten nothing since they left home in the morning.
"Whatever you want to eat, I will make it up to you tonight."
The master and servant met Lian Fangyu, who had changed out of his official uniform and came to the main courtyard.
"It's good that your mother didn't make things difficult for you. Dad has a party tonight. Let the kitchen cook whatever you want to eat. You don't have to save money for dad."
Hearing that she was punished, the father who ran to stand up for her without even having time to change into his official uniform seemed to be a good father on the surface.
Lian Suisui grinned and said, "Dad, go and do your work quickly. Mom won't be angry with me anymore."
She smiled heartlessly, just like before.
The complexity in Lian Fangyu's eyes flashed away, and he stretched out his hand to rub her head.
"What do you want to eat? Dad will bring it to you when he comes back."
