"I have pity on my second son. He was already a little better because of the old lady's kindness. However, he was disturbed like that that day. He can't even see anyone these days!"
Manager Lu knelt on the ground, and the dignified man wiped away tears.
"How dare a first-in-law be so presumptuous? He is really a good person trained by Mrs. Gu!"
Mrs. Cao raised her hand to signal, and Mr. Luo, who was kneeling in front of the couch and beating his legs, quickly got up and helped him up.
He also took advantage of the situation and stood aside.
"Grandma, calm down, but this servant is ignorant, so why should you be so angry with yourself?"
Rong Shu, who was sitting next to her, fiddled with the strings of her piano twice and said with a smile.
"But Shu'er remembers that the fifth brother didn't like to get close to the women in the house in the past, and even the wife sent the maids to wait on her several times. But in the past two days, I heard the rumors in the house, and the fifth brother has changed his temper!"
Rong Shu said as if confused.
"The second young lady doesn't know that the fifth young master now loves his first-in-law named Tao Ye very much. He even suffered a lot for her old lady a few days ago!"
Mother Wang spoke angrily from the side, seemingly complaining about her master, but in fact she was resentful because her daughter was severely punished in the Mao Kingdom Palace.
"I actually made it in front of my grandmother. Fifth brother is really..."
When Rong Shu said this, she stopped talking in compliance with the rules of ordering the elders and younger ones.
"But the fifth brother is young and has never been as stable as the eldest brother. I'm afraid he was deceived by the few words of the people around him. Grandma always loves us the most. We don't have to rely on you to teach us a lesson if we don't behave well. Grandma can't be lazy!"
Although Rong Shu looked down on her biological mother, she most likely learned Luo's tricks.
"You're such a sensible girl!"
Mrs. Cao's face indeed showed kindness, she smiled and patted Rong Shu's hand, and then looked at Mother Wang: "I see that there has been a commotion in the house these past two days because of Xiaowu's incident of saving the maid regardless of her identity at the chrysanthemum banquet. It's a big deal, you take a few people to the front yard, since Mrs. Gu is not free, go and teach that maid the rules!"
"yes!"
Mother Wang was about to retreat with a happy face, but was stopped by a voice: "Mother Wang, wait a moment!"
It was Luo who spoke.
"What's the matter?"
Cao's face was obviously angry, and Rong Shu's eyes also flashed with surprise.
"Excuse me, madam!"
When Luo Shi saw Cao Shi's bad expression, his face turned pale with fright, and he knelt upright in front of the couch, his knees making a sound with the ground.
"I heard that the maid died half of her life after being rescued. Now she can't even get out of bed. Although the old lady loves her children and grandchildren, if the maid is weak and does anything bad, the madam and the fifth young master will I’m afraid I might misunderstand your good intentions!”
"Besides, the old lady will go to Ningguo Temple to worship Buddha in two days. It's a small rule to teach a person the rules of marriage. If this is..."
Luo Shi's voice was still soft, with a bit of timidity and trembling.
Hesitation flashed across Cao's face.
Naturally, she would not care about the life of a humble maid, but if that maid lost her life unluckily, it would not be worth it if it affected her ability to worship Buddha.
"Forget it, then wait until you come back from the temple and then go to the front yard!"
After Mrs. Cao ordered Mrs. Wang, she looked at Manager Lu on the ground: "Go back first. There are so many maids in the mansion. Find another one with the same horoscope. There are also those on Zhuangzi. Then report it to me. No matter it is I will obey anyone!"
Mr. Cao valued his companion, but it was nothing compared to his own affairs.
"The little man thanks the old lady for her kindness!"
Manager Lu was a little reluctant at first, but became happy after hearing what Cao said later.
He could choose from any maid in the house, and there would always be one suitable for his second son.
After Manager Lu retired, Rong Shu still stayed in Shou'an Hall to play the piano for Cao to relieve his boredom. Luo still accompanied him and served him carefully.
When Mr. Cao took a break, the mother and daughter came out of Shou'an Hall.
"Auntie, what do you mean today?"
Back in her yard, Rong Shu didn't even ask her biological mother to sit down, so she asked with a cold face.
"This is my aunt's fault. I didn't inform the second lady in advance!"
"The maid in the Fifth Young Master's yard is suffering from a severe cold. She is just surviving the day. Why bother to offend the Fifth Young Master over this matter? It will only attract Madam's attention in vain!"
Luo Shi stood under his daughter and said with a smile.
"Auntie is so sure that the maid is not going to die soon. What did she do?"
Rong Shu frowned.
Today she secretly encouraged the man from Shou'antang Hall to cause trouble for the maid, not specifically to vent her anger on her biological mother and brother, but to take advantage of the situation.
"Auntie put someone in that maid's medicine..."
Luo Shi couldn't hide the amusement in his tone.
"Why are you so confused?"
Rong Shu was very angry.
"Second Miss..."
Luo Shi raised his head in shock, really not knowing why his own daughter was angry.
"In order to kill an insignificant maid, you used such a "fantastic" method. Do you think your life is too comfortable?"
"This medicinal material is so rare that the entrance and exit of the pharmacy in the mansion must be recorded. Anyone who is interested can find out the clues with just a quick check!"
"Do you really think you are the only smart person in this whole house!"
Her biological mother was not stupid usually, but she just bit the maid and wouldn't let go. Rong Shu felt really angry.
"No way, this medicine is mixed in, and ordinary people will never notice it. It is impossible for the Fifth Young Master to invite famous doctors from outside to diagnose and treat a maid. As for the medicinal materials, I have asked the doctor from Fang Mansion to do it in the account book. There’s a place to go!”
Luo Shi thought for a moment and still felt that no one would find out what he had done.
"It better be so!"
After listening to her biological mother's words, Rong Shu also felt that there was some truth in it, and the possibility of being discovered was probably low.
But she still wasn't angry.
In her eyes, her biological mother did not do anything serious because she doted on her brother and went to war over an in-law.
"Don't worry, girl, even if the Fifth Young Master finds out the clues, the person who administered the drug was the palace maid named Qing Xing who was rewarded by the Queen. Previously, Qingmei had been driven to Zhuangzi for drugging the Fifth Young Master. If Qing Xing is found to be poisoned this time, Man, for the sake of the queen and the prince’s face, the fifth young master and his wife can only fold their arms and hide them in their sleeves! They don’t dare to cause a big trouble!”
Luo Shi was able to coax Rong Yanbo, Duke of Jingguo, to dote on her all these years, so she had some tricks up her sleeve.
Rong Shu was calmed down by her biological mother's words and waved her hand to let people go back.
An hour later.
The study room in Rongjiu's yard.
"People from Luo's family?"
Rong Jiu stood behind the desk with a stern expression.
"Yes, Doctor Fang belongs to Aunt Luo, and the medicinal materials passed through his hands before getting into Aunt Luo's hands, and then into Qing Xing's hands!"
Xingyun told the news he found.
"I remember Rong Ying's legs are not okay yet?"
"Yes, the second young master has been hanging out in the flower house almost every night since he was able to get out of bed. This injury will heal even more slowly!"
Xingyun replied.
"Father has been free recently, so he can discipline his second brother!"
