"Yes, I was sick a few days ago, and the pills my wife gave me were accidentally knocked down by the little silver fox. I then reported to the Fifth Young Master and asked Doctor Tian to prepare some decoctions!"
Taoye expected that his wife might ask about this matter, so she had already thought of an explanation.
This prescription was given by Master Pei, and the medicine was taken from Tianfu's doctor. She was not lying.
"You are still the governor!"
"But you can rest assured. When Ajiu gets married next year, and Yanrong is not a harsh person, I will let you get a serious status in three or two years!"
Gu Yunqing was very satisfied with Tao Ye, but unfortunately there was always a big difference in status. But in the future, when Yan Rong established a firm foothold in the house, she would cancel Tao Ye's slave status and be able to be a slave next to Ajiu. Good concubine.
If Ajiu loses interest in this girl in the future, she will also find a good home for Taoye.
"The lady treats the slave well, and the slave will always remember it!"
Aunt and Tongfang, although the former sounds nicer, they are just concubines and slaves under the control of the mistress.
But Taoye still has to be grateful for this.
Gu Yunqing asked Taoye a few more questions about Rongjiu's daily life. Half an hour later, Qin's mother came back with Shuang'er.
"What's wrong?"
Qin's mother's face looked a little strange, looking solemn and excited at the same time. Gu Yunqing raised her head in confusion and asked.
There were everyone in the room. Qin’s mother directly ordered Shuang’er who was kneeling below: “Tell Madam what you just said again!”
"Madam, this servant is Shuang'er. She is the one who works for Mother Hao and is responsible for delivering jewelry to the first and second-class maids in each room. The silk flower Lu Jun was put on by the slave at the request of Aunt Luo, but the person who came to deliver the message that day was not Aunt Luo. I don’t even recognize the people around me!”
Taoye felt a little strange when she heard this. This girl didn't know the person who came to deliver the message, and this matter was obviously unusual. Why would she obey orders.
"That means you can't testify against Luo Shi!"
Gu Yunqing was thinking about another thing. Considering the partiality of her mother-in-law and her husband towards Luo Shi, even if this girl were to tell her face to face with this unclear accusation, she would probably still be suspected of slandering Luo Shi.
"Madam, don't be impatient, just listen to what she has to say!"
Mother Qin interjected.
"Although I can't testify against Aunt Luo this time, I have evidence about the eldest young master!"
Shuang'er's face showed a desperate determination.
"Afterwards, I beg you, madam, to save your slave's life!"
Gu Yunqing was a little confused and looked at Shuang'er doubtfully: "It's not difficult to save your life. You told me the matter first. Why are you getting involved with the young master again!"
She had a fair impression of Rong Yue, her stepson, at least not disgusting, but she was just polite to him.
"About two years ago, when I first came to work for Mother Hao on errands, I was punished by Mother Hao for losing something. Aunt Luo happened to pass by and said a few words to me."
"The slave was very grateful to her, so one month later Jin Rui, who was with Aunt Luo, came to the slave and said that Miss Qiulian, who was with the eldest young master, liked goose-yellow silk flowers, but she couldn't tell the master about such a trivial matter, so she entrusted her to her. Come and talk!”
Hearing the word silk flower, Taoye's eyebrows skipped a beat, and she intuitively felt that there was something wrong with the silk flower.
"Madam knows that the silk flowers purchased by the comprador office for the maids are mostly red, pink, and cyan, and there is no yellow at all. The silk flowers later sent to the eldest young master's yard were all sent by Jin Rui himself. The slaves then sent them there, and Jin Rui returned them. Those are the looks that Miss Qiulian likes!"
Gu Yunqing frowned, why did Rong Yue's maid get involved with Luo's people.
"I have been sending these silk flowers for almost two years. Until March, Jin Rui told the slave girl that Miss Qiulian was wearing these yellow silk flowers and asked for the usual colors to be sent!"
"But it happened that in that month, Miss Qiulian suddenly got cold and went out to recover, so I didn't have time to send the silk flowers!"
"This silk flower was placed in a box, and I forgot about it later!"
"I really didn't know that this was something that could harm people. It wasn't until I heard a little maid saying that Aunt Yang was pregnant that I realized that I might have caused trouble. I also heard that Aunt Luo's people were looking for me, so I hid in desperation. stand up!"
Shuang'er knocked her head to the ground again, with a look of regret and innocence on her face.
But Taoye listened completely beside her, and Shuang'er's words were probably half-truths and half-falsehoods. Both Luo Shi and Silk Flowers were true, but she knew nothing about the Silk Flowers but it was false.
If she hadn't known that there was something wrong with the silk flowers, she would not have kept the two silk flowers from two years ago, nor would she have hid first after knowing that Aunt Yang was back safely.
"My slave has already asked Huicao to go to this girl's house to quietly get the silk flowers, and also sent someone to find Doctor Tian!"
But two years have passed, and I wonder if anything can be seen from the silk flower.
"You've only done this for Roche?"
Gu Yunqing looked at Shuang'er on the ground coldly.
"Yes, I just want to repay my kindness. If I had known that there was something wrong with the silk flower, I would never have dared!"
Shuang'er's raised face first showed a hint of guilt, and then she kowtowed with regret.
"Mother Qin, please place the person in the main courtyard first. We will discuss where to go after we find out what happened to the silk flower!"
"I keep my word, and I will definitely protect your life!"
Gu Yunqing said calmly.
"Slave, thank you Madam for your kindness!"
Shuang'er then retreated with confidence.
"Madam, this girl still didn't tell the truth..."
Qin's mother wanted to give a reminder, but Gu Yunqing noticed it first: "This girl must have done a lot of dirty things for Luo Shi, and now she wants to take it out to save her life!"
It is true that Gu Yunqing was not good at internal fights in the boudoir, but after entering the Jingguo Palace and being framed by Rong Hui and Luo Shi one after another, even a stupid person could see it.
If this girl named Shuang'er hadn't known about Luo Shi's usual behavior, why was she so frightened that she hid after just hearing the news and spent two days hungry in the sewing room.
A quarter of an hour later, Huicao came back with the two silk flowers, and Doctor Tian also arrived.
"Doctor Tian, please take a look at these two silk flowers. Is there anything wrong?"
After Doctor Tian handed over his hand, he took the box containing the silk flowers, smelled it carefully, touched it with his hand, and even wet it with water to look at it. Finally, he shook his head and said, "Madam, these two silk flowers look very good." no problem!"
Seeing that everyone in the room looked in disbelief, Doctor Tian added: "Of course it could be that the villain is not good at medical skills!"
Gu Yunqing and Qin's mother were both a little stunned, especially Qin's mother, who even had a little loss in her eyes. She originally thought that the old lady and the Duke did not value the madam and the fifth young master, but they valued the eldest young master very much. If she could Finding out that Aunt Luo had taken action against the people around the eldest young master would definitely help Madam vent her anger.
But, how could the problem not be found?
