Mother Luo and her daughter are indeed worthy of having been by Cao's side for all these years, and their understanding of Cao's mind is very good.
Luo Shi was kneeling on the ground with his head lowered and did not dare to raise his head. His body was shaking so much that he looked regretful and scared. Rong Shu on the other side was leaning on Cao Shi's lap, with a look of intimacy and pleading.
The coldness in Cao's eyes did fade a lot.
"Old Madam, this slave will never dare to do it again next time. I beg you, Old Madam, please spare me this time!"
Pearl's confused mind was half awake now, and she begged Cao on the ground again.
"Mother Wang, take this girl back to the house and ask the steward to send her to Zhuangzi!"
"Old lady, this..."
Mother Wang is not a kind-hearted person, but Pearl has been serving her at Shou'an Hall since she had her head first, and it has been nearly ten years now.
Send it to Zhuangzi. Isn’t the punishment too severe?
These servants were sent to Zhuangzi for making mistakes in the house. The servants were okay, but the maids had their lives ruined by those rough men.
Pearl was a first-class maid in the mansion, and she was used to living a good life. She couldn't stand such a big gap when she went to Zhuangzi.
"This old slave is too talkative. Let's make arrangements now!"
Mother Wang raised her head and saw the cold look on Mrs. Cao's face. She didn't dare to say anything anymore and signaled to the two women behind her to pull her away.
"Old madam, please spare my life..."
Pearl struggled and screamed, but Wang's mother blocked her mouth with a handkerchief and urged the two women: "Hurry up, don't spare the master!"
"Shu'er, wake up!"
"Go get me a cup of tea!"
Cao asked Rong Shu to get up first.
"Yes, Grandma!"
Rong Shu had always been dignified in front of Mr. Cao and had never knelt before. She gritted her teeth slightly before she stood up with excellent manners.
"Grandma was frightened in the main hall earlier. This is soothing tea. You will feel better after drinking it!"
Rong Shu quickly served the freshly brewed hot tea. This time, Ms. Cao did not sit idle. She drank a few sips and praised her granddaughter. Rong Shu saw the opportunity and started joking with Ms. Cao.
Grandfather and grandson are as close as ever.
It wasn't until lunch was about to begin that Luo Shi was called up.
I knelt for two full hours, my knees hurt so much that I could barely feel anything. That was it. I wanted to thank Mrs. Cao for forgiving me.
Mother and daughter Luo had never been so frustrated. They suffered bad things one after another in just one day, and they hated Taoye even more.
The Duke of Jingguo and his party stayed at Ningguo Temple for five days. On the last day, Taoye went to the front hall to pick up the peace charm that Gu Yunqing had asked the senior monk of Ningguo Temple to recite for his son.
"Little beauty?"
As soon as I left the guest house, I met Wei Yunqi.
"Master Wei Er!"
Taoye stepped back and bowed, looked at the gate, and saw several monks protecting the temple passing by, feeling a little at ease.
"Why are you so afraid of people, little beauty? I was in the main hall just now, and I helped you!"
While lighting the Buddhist lantern, Wei Yunqi's playful eyes were fixed on Taoye. He saw the pearl pushing people, and even saw Taoye twisting her slender waist. With just one move, she was as graceful as a giant. The posture is even more stunning than those dancers in the flower house.
His vision of women is indeed correct, he is really a top-notch one, and it will definitely be very enjoyable if he plays with her.
"Thank you, Mr. Wei Er, for speaking up for me. I will leave!"
Taoye noticed the gaze falling on her, felt disgusted and cold in her heart, and wanted to continue walking forward.
As soon as he took a step, he stumbled under his feet, and then a malicious hand was placed on his waist.
Taoye's whole body tensed up.
"Little beauty, you have to take care of yourself, you can't break such a beautiful body!"
There were a lot of people coming and going here, so Wei Yunqi touched Tao Ye's waist twice and backed away.
Tao Ye walked away quickly. She must stay away from this snake-like person in the future.
…
The group returned to the house. Gu Yunqing gained his son's filial piety and successfully retrieved the peace charm enshrined in front of the Buddha. His face was very happy. In the next few days, Cao was in a good mood after being cared for by Luo and his daughter. Yes, even Mr. Yang, Xu Shi's anti-fetal medicine was very effective, and he felt at ease living in Gu Yunqing's yard, his face was a little rosy.
But the other two…
Luo Shi couldn't hide the tiredness and sleepiness on her face. In order to please Mr. Cao these past three days, she had been waiting in front of Mr. Cao day and night, doing all the maid's work and not even having a good night's sleep.
As for Rong Shu, seeing the happy and calm expressions of Gu Yunqing and others, her dignified and quiet face was covered with a cold and dark color.
But seeing Yang's cautious look, Rong Shu glanced at Luo.
Luo Shi nodded gently to her daughter, and the maid next to her, Jin Rui, quietly entered the house through the side door.
After entering the mansion, Gu Yunqing asked the mother-in-law beside him to take Yang back to Qingfeng Garden, and Yang accepted the offer with great gratitude.
Tao Ye left with Gu Yunqing and returned to the front yard.
They had lunch and rested for an hour before returning. When Taoye arrived at the yard, it was already past midnight.
It was too late to take a break, so she put her clothes in the cabinet and carefully put away the fifty-tael silver note given by Chen Shujun.
Then he looked back to see Nanyun and his daughter.
Without Qing Xing instructing her to do rough work, He's body was almost in good condition, and there was some blood on her face.
Seeing Tao Ye coming in, she was busy setting up mats and pouring tea. Tao Ye couldn't stop her, but she always thanked him politely.
"I'll ask you to pour me some tea. You have so much to say. When I get up, I have to meet the fifth young master..."
Several people were talking when a weak but angry voice came from the side.
"Hey, Miss Qingxing, you really wronged this old lady!"
"When the old woman was with my wife, she only did menial work. How can she do such delicate work as making tea? But don't worry, the old woman will definitely learn to serve you!"
Mrs. Zhang's voice was not soft, and everyone in Taoye could hear the gloating in her words.
"Get out...get out!"
Qingxing propped herself up on the bed and shouted hoarsely.
"Yes, yes, yes, the old lady is going out right now. Don't be angry with yourself, otherwise the illness will be delayed even longer. I won't be able to serve the fifth young master in these three to five days!"
boom!
Something was broken.
"Qingxing is sick?"
Taoye asked.
"I suddenly felt unwell during the day yesterday. After the fifth young master returned home, he asked someone to go to the study to wait on him and he couldn't even get up!"
"Brother Xingyun also invited Doctor Tian to come over!"
"Mr. Zhang was specially ordered by the Fifth Young Master to serve Miss Qing Xing!"
Nan Yun still spoke concisely and neatly.
Asking Madam Zhang to serve Qing Xing would make us hate each other, Tao Ye thought to herself.
But it’s a coincidence that Qingxing got sick...
Qing Xing couldn't get up, so Tao Ye was waiting on Rong Jiu's dinner table.
But as soon as she set the dishes, she was ordered to sit down and eat together.
After dinner, Rong Jiu did not go to the study, but directly ordered Tao Ye to wash up.
