"Miss, Second Miss Su doesn't want to see you, why did you come here so early to guard her?" Bi Wan, the maid in pink clothes behind her, complained dissatisfiedly.
Tan Zhixi gathered the cloak around her body, with a palm-sized face, fair skin and delicate facial features.
At this time, with obvious anxiety in her dark starry eyes, she whispered: "She is my sister after all."
Speaking of this, she sighed softly, "After my aunt died, she was instigated by the mother and daughter and severed ties with Tanfu. Her life must have been extremely difficult."
"If my aunt knew that even when she was sick, she needed to collect her own medicine to treat her illness, she would be extremely distressed."
Bi Wan looked at her young lady's face which was slightly flushed by the morning breeze, and said sadly: "That's what she brought upon herself."
The good Miss Sun of Tan Mansion couldn't do it better and had to become the mother and daughter's licking dog.
"Okay, don't say such words again in the future."
After Tan Zhixi finished speaking, Shen Shi came over and said, "Miss Tan, Second Miss Su is not awake yet. When she wakes up, His Highness will send someone to take her back to the Prime Minister's Mansion."
Tan Zhixi signaled Biwan to hand the small basket in her hand to Su Ruotang, "Then please, Commander Shen, give these herbs to Ruotang."
Shen Shi took the small basket and said, "Miss Tan, walk slowly."
Tan Zhixi had no choice but to hide her worries and leave with Biwan.
Watching Tan Zhixi leave, Shen Shi knocked on Su Ruotang's door, "Miss Su?"
After a while, Su Ruotang's hoarse broken gong came from the room, "Is something wrong?"
Shen Shi placed the small basket at the door: "Miss Tanfu sent herbal medicine."
Miss Tanfu?
Su Ruotang raised his hand and put it on his forehead. It took a while for his chaotic brain to react, and then he picked out this person from the memory of the original owner.
Tanzhixi, the original owner’s cousin.
He had a very good relationship with the original owner when he was young. Later, the original owner's mother passed away. The original owner was instigated by Zhang and Su Muyao and gradually became alienated from her.
After getting up with his sore body, Su Ruotang looked at the small basket at the door with a very complicated expression.
After a while, she knelt down, lifted the basket with her green-white fingertips, and shook it, "You are really stupid..."
As soon as he finished speaking, his eyes suddenly darkened.
She raised her head and just met Mo Ronyan's cold black eyes.
Su Ruotang's breathing suddenly stopped, and her face turned pale.
Mo Ronyan's gentle and jade-like tone seemed to be soaked in frost and snow, showing a bit of indifference, "Miss Su Er is really superb in medical skills. After sleeping in the cool breeze for a night, she was able to reduce the fever."
Su Ruotang's peach blossom eyes widened and she pointed at the leaky window, "Damn! You did it!"
She also wondered why the window, which was still fine when she closed it last night, broke in the middle of the night and almost froze her to death.
It turns out that this petty dog man did it!
Mo Rongyan raised the corners of his lips and said in a cold tone, "Second Miss Su, there are many royal rules. I will send a nun to the Prime Minister's Mansion to teach you the rules."
After Su Ruotang heard this, he immediately controlled his expression, and the curvature of the corners of his mouth was just right.
She stood up gracefully holding the basket, and every move she made was virtuous, elegant and quiet, making her a model of ladylike beauty.
"Father has hired a nanny to educate my daughter, so I won't bother Your Highness."
If you haven't seen a pig running, haven't you eaten pork?
It’s not for nothing that I watched so many costume dramas in my previous life, and I could pretend to be a lady.
Mo Ronyan looked at her flawless demeanor and said meaningfully: "Miss Su Er seems to be hiding many secrets."
Su Ruotang's scalp tightened: "Thank you for taking care of your highness last night. My daughter is in good health, so I won't trouble your highness."
Having said that, she looked calm and dignified, but in fact she walked out of the hospital very quickly.
Mo Rongyan raised his eyebrows slightly.
As far as he knew, the second young lady of the Prime Minister's Palace had low self-esteem and was cowardly.
But the Su Ruotang he saw was very different from the rumors.
Looking down at the wound on his wrist, Mo Ronyan's lips curved into a cold smile, and his dark eyes were light and cold.
Staring at Su Ruotang's retreating back, it was like a hunter staring at his prey.
After leaving Mo Rongyan's sight, Su Ruotang directly used Qing Kung Fu and quickly shuttled through the forest.
On the way, she saw the team escorting Emperor Wu Shun and others back to the palace from a distance. She chose to avoid it and took the lead back to the Prime Minister's Mansion.
The original owner was the concubine of the Prime Minister's Palace. She lived in a simple house in the most remote corner of the palace, which was cold and desolate.
There was a window with a big hole, a wooden bed, and the thin bedding on it was washed white.
A four-corner table with one leg broken, cushioned with stones, and two chairs, one high and one short, placed next to it.
At this moment, a maid in Tsing Yi excitedly ran to Su Ruotang, took her hand and looked up and down.
"Miss, are you okay?"
Su Ruotang looked at the sincere concern in the maid's eyes, and the coldness in her eyes dissipated, and she patted her hand, "I'm fine."
In the memory of the original owner, Qingwan was the only person in the prime minister's house who would risk his life to protect the original owner after his mother died.
For the original owner, she had been punished countless times and almost died several times.
"Take it gently, heat some hot water, I want to take a bath."
Qingwan saw that his young lady was fine and breathed a sigh of relief, "Miss, I'm going to get firewood. You can rest for a while."
Su Ruotang nodded, walked to the table and sat down.
He checked his pulse carefully, took out a pill from the medical space, took it, closed his eyes and adjusted his breathing.
This body is too weak. If you want to completely remove the toxins, you can only take your time.
Not long after, Qingwan came back with red eyes, "Miss, I'm sorry, I'm useless, I didn't get the firewood."
Su Ruotang opened his eyes, looked at her steadily, and suddenly stood up and took her hand hidden behind her back.
Qingwan was startled and subconsciously wanted to retract her hand, "Miss..."
Su Ruotang said coldly: "Don't move."
Her peach blossom eyes were slightly raised, and when she was angry, she had a sense of coldness.
Qingwan was shocked and did not dare to move again.
Su Ruotang opened her lightly rolled sleeves and looked at the red and swollen stick scars on her thin arms, her eyes gradually filled with cold murderous intent.
"Who hit me?"
She bit her lower lip lightly and said with red eyes, "Miss, I'm fine. I'm used to it."
Su Ruotang used the cover of her sleeves to take out the ointment and handed it to Qingwan, "Go and apply the ointment first."
Qingwan waved her hands repeatedly: "Miss, please keep this ointment for your own use. My skin is rough and my flesh is thick. It will be fine if I apply it a little bit."
Su Ruotang directly put the ointment into her hand: "Use it as you are told. If you fall ill, who will take care of me?"
Holding the ointment gently, tears fell down.
She wiped the tears on her face fiercely and said firmly: "This slave will not get sick and will always take care of the young lady."
"Okay, then hurry up and apply the medicine. After applying the medicine, go get what belongs to us."
Qing Wan's eyes were full of confusion: "What is ours?"
Su Ruotang's lips curled up with a cold smile, and she looked out the window, "You'll know in a minute."
...
In the front hall, Lin Mu directed his servants to deliver fresh fruits to the main courtyard and Su Muyao's courtyard.
After the last melon was divided, a faint sound of a broken gong came, "Steward Lin, where are my melons?"
Lin Mu raised his eyes and looked out of the hall, and saw Su Ruotang stopping the maid who was bringing melons and fruits, and said impatiently: "Second Miss, you have never liked eating melons and fruits. I will give them to you next time when I have extra."
When Su Ruotang heard this, a sarcastic smile appeared on the corners of his lips, and his tone was subtle, "Butler Lin really understands every master's preferences."
Lin Mu's expression became more and more impatient: "Second Miss, I have a lot of things to do. If you have nothing to do, please don't waste my time..."
Before he could say the word "Jian", Su Ruotang grabbed the plate in the hand of the maid next to him and threw it at him.
Lin Muci was caught off guard, and his forehead was smashed open, causing blood to flow out.
Everyone was stunned.
Su Ruotang was not favored, and they usually didn't take this so-called legitimate lady seriously.
At this time, everyone was dumbfounded when they saw that she dared to hit Butler Lin.
"Presumptuous! Lin Mu, I've seen you dominate over the years, and you can't even recognize your own identity!"
Su Ruotang's face was covered with white gauze, and a pair of cold peach blossom eyes swept across the crowd, making everyone's hearts tremble and they lowered their heads. .
Lin Mu covered his forehead and stared at Su Ruotang coldly, "Second Miss, you hit this old slave for no reason and you have such a vicious heart. This old slave will truthfully report this matter to you."
"Ah!"
Su Ruotang chuckled lightly, his brows and eyes were as cold as frost, showing a bit of coldness that made people dare not look at him.
"Lin Mu, you beat my maid, right?"
Lin Mu glanced at Qingwan with disdain: "This maid's hands and feet are not clean. She stole things when the old slave wasn't paying attention. The old slave just gave her a small lesson."
Su Ruotang's red-lipped smile remained unchanged, frost formed on her brows, and a dangerous coldness leaked out from her eyes.
She casually grabbed the vase on the table and approached Lin Mu step by step.
"My maid, you are not qualified to teach me a lesson."
As soon as she finished speaking, she smashed the vase.
Without waiting for Lin Mu to react, he held the vase fragment and passed it from the corner of his eye.
The vision suddenly turned blood red, Lin Mu covered his eyes, raised his foot and kicked Su Ruotang with a ferocious expression, "You are looking for death!"
The coldness in Su Ruotang's eyes became even stronger. She turned sideways to avoid his kick and popped a pill into Lin Mu's mouth.
The pill melted in his mouth, and an explosion-like pain suddenly surged in Lin Mu's stomach.
He held his stomach and bent over in pain, with veins popping out on his forehead and neck, "You... what did you... eat for me?"
