"Madam, you have suffered." Axia shed tears and said distressedly, "Master Marquis, doesn't he care about the relationship between husband and wife for so many years? He is holding Madam Feng's favor outside. I really feel unworthy of you. .”
Du Shi was furious.
"I want to go back, I can't stay here anymore." Du yelled, then grabbed Axia, "Axia, help me, you are the only one who can help me now."
People around her betrayed her and left her one by one. Looking back now, I realize that only A-Xia, who was always by her side, was truly good to her.
Aunt Xia's hand holding the bowl paused, a trace of guilt flashed in her eyes, but soon she returned to her original appearance: "Madam, how can I help you? I will save you even if I risk my life." Get out!"
Mrs. Du came close to Nanny Xia's ear and whispered to her a few times. Nanny Xia looked confused, "Madam, what do you mean?"
"Just tell him directly, and he will find a way to save me." Du Shi was unwilling to elaborate.
Anyway, very confident.
Aunt Xia didn't want to ask any more questions, so she just said: "Madam, please take care of yourself." and left in a hurry.
Du Shi looked at the dishes in front of her.
There are braised pork, roast chicken, beef with soy sauce, and a plate of sweet-scented osmanthus cake.
Normally, Du Shi would not eat these greasy, salty and greasy things, but after being in prison for so many days, she only had a simple diet with little oil and salt. This kind of greasy and greasy food was just enough to replenish her appetite. Gone oil and water.
Without thinking, Mrs. Du grabbed the roasted chicken, pulled off a drumstick, and ate happily.
In the deep prison, the dim candlelight shone brightly and dimly, illuminating Nanny Xia's old face covered with ravines. There was a little bit of unbearability in her eyes, and a trace of resentment. .
"Madam, don't blame me. If you want to blame me, I can only blame you for being blind."
After saying that, Aunt Xia left quickly.
In the dark and damp prison, the air was still filled with the scent of barbecue.
Yuxinyuan.
Chen Mianmian was cutting the pieces of bright red cloth sent by Xu Wanning.
The material is soft and skin-friendly, making it perfect for making some underwear for your newborn baby.
She held the scissors in one hand and pressed the red cloth with the other. Her green-white fingers looked even more white and translucent against the bright red.
Xiliu reported outside, "Madam, Grandma Xia is here."
Chen Mianmian raised a smile at the corner of her mouth and put down the scissors, "Please come quickly."
Aunt Xia entered the room, and Chen Mianmian personally pulled her to sit down and brought her a cup of tea.
"Mommy, thank you for your hard work. Have a sip of tea. The tea has already warmed up and is just right to drink now." Chen Mianmian was considerate and flattering, and Aunt Xia was flattered.
When had she ever been so favored by Du Shi!
"Thank you, Mrs. Side." The last bit of grandmother Xia's guilt towards Du Shi disappeared.
Aunt Xia took a sip of tea, and before Chen Mianmian could speak, she took the initiative to mention what was going on in the cell and made it clear about Du's current situation.
"Eldest sister, she has suffered." Chen Mianmian said this with a smile on her face: "She asked Mr. Hou to rescue her?"
"Well, she asked her slave to bring a message to the Marquis: When a tree falls, the hozens will scatter; when a wall falls, everyone will push it away."
"When a tree falls down, the hozens scatter, and when the wall falls down, everyone pushes it away?" Chen Mianmian repeated it, frowning: "What do you mean?"
Aunt Xia shook her head: "I asked, but the lady refused to tell. Madam, do you want me to report to the Marquis?"
"Of course I want it." Chen Mianmian said: "The Marquis will know about your going to the prison today soon. If you don't tell him, if the Marquis knows about it, I'm afraid it will be detrimental to you. Just tell the truth. .”
"But..." Aunt Xia hesitated: "What if the Marquis rescues my wife?"
Chen Mianmian smiled and said to Aunt Xia: "Don't worry, even if she comes back, she won't be the wife of the Hou Mansion for a few days."
She took out a bulging silver bag from her arms and gave it to Aunt Xia: "It's been hard for Aunt Xia these days. Please go to the prison to see Madam more often. She doesn't have enough to eat there, so you can give me more food." , Don’t let my eldest sister lose weight due to hunger.”
Aunt Xia nodded quickly: "I know."
"Open it and take a look."
Grandma Xia obeyed and opened the silver bag. Inside there were fifty taels of silver and a small bag of small powder.
"If she could come back, would you still dare?" Chen Mianmian asked her.
This is giving Aunt Xia a choice.
With her, or with the lady.
Aunt Xia gritted her teeth, "I have been following Madam for so many years, and I have never been looked upon by Madam in a different light. Only Madam Side, you have given me dignity and respect. Since I have followed you, I have absolutely no reason to look back. Moreover, I I don’t want to look back either!”
"Okay." Chen Mianmian smiled and patted Aunt Xia on the shoulder: "Ms. Du doesn't reuse you because she is blind. Aunt Xia, when this is done, you will be the first-class nanny beside me."
"My slave, thank you Madam Side, no..." Aunt Xia was overjoyed, and knelt on the ground and saluted: "My slave, I would like to thank you, Madam, for your support."
The wages of avarice is death.
Now everyone is his own master, madam, don’t blame me!
The news that Aunt Xia went to Yuxinyuan after she came back from the prison quickly spread to Ningyuan.
In Ningyuan.
"She actually took refuge with Mrs. Side!" Qingxing was a little surprised when she heard the news.
Xu Wanning was not surprised at all: "When people go to higher places, water flows to lower places. Chen Mianmian is young and beautiful, and she is loved by the Marquis. If the Du family cannot return to the Hou Mansion, then Chen Mianmian will be the next Madam Hou." Du Rixia chose Chen Mianmian, which is human nature."
This was exactly why she asked Aunt Qiu to visit Du Rixia.
It seems that it is just a performance, but in fact he is trying to persuade Du Rixia to make plans for himself.
Du Rixia is not married, so she is destined to die of old age in the Marquis Mansion.
There are many ways to die in the palace, one is to do rough work and die hard; the other is to be the master's personal nun and die in a dignified way.
And if you want to die a dignified old age, you can only live in a dignified old age in this prince's mansion if you win the favor of your master.
If Du can't come back, then Du Rixia's best choice is Chen Mianmian.
"Qingxing, do you want to see a dog bite a dog?"
"Dog eat dog? Of course I do." Qing Xing replied excitedly.
"Chen Wang." Xu Wanning said with a smile: "Go to Pei Heng and tell him that the plan has changed and ask him to help."
There was a light burning in her eyes.
It would be too advantageous for her and the Hou family to let Du Shi die alone in the prison.
Since Mrs. Du is going to die, let's give her a few lives so that she won't be alone on the road to death.
It is said that Aunt Xia went to Cui Lu and told her what Du wanted to bring.
Cui Lu's face was as colorful as if it were painted. He almost gritted his teeth and said something to ask Aunt Xia to go to the prison to see his wife more, and then he flicked his sleeves and left the Hou Mansion.
In Prince Yan's Mansion.
In a pavilion in the lake, the gauze was swaying, and two men could be vaguely seen sitting in the pavilion, talking and laughing. Cui Lu even saw the man on the right reaching out to pour a cup of tea for the man on the left.
Since ancient times, left has been respected.
It must be the prince's friend who is pouring tea for the prince.
Cui Lu arrived at the Huzhong Pavilion under the guidance of his subordinates.
Following the servant's report, Cui Lu immediately stepped forward and saluted: "Cui Lu has met the prince."
After looking up, he was surprised to find that the prince was sitting on the right.
And he also recognized the person sitting on the left.
