Chapter 6 Fate ahead?
Lu Wanqing walked down the steps slowly, came to the narrow courtyard dam, looked around, and finally set her eyes on Xia He's face.

From the perspective of modern people, Xia He is a very quiet type, with an oval face and a small nose. It may be due to long-term labor and malnutrition that his complexion is a little sallow.The figure is about the same as myself, about 1.6 meters, slightly thin.He was wearing a blue-gray slanted thorn jacket skirt, and a very simple bun was combed on his head, which was fixed with a grate.

Lu Wanqing couldn't help stretching out her hand to cover the other's cheek, the last time she went to the main room to ask for medicine, but in return she was beaten and insulted.Xia He didn't know why the young master was like this. Once he arrived at the yard, he looked around, remained silent, and didn't speak. Now he looked at himself in such a daze, feeling a little at a loss, "Miss——"

"Does it still hurt?"

Only then did Xia He realize that his master cared about him, and he was a little panicked, "No, it doesn't hurt anymore..."

The corner of Lu Wanqing's mouth pulled slightly, showing a smile.

Xia He said with concern: "Miss, it's windy outside, why don't we go back inside."

Lu Wanqing's body is very weak now, and she just wants to be more active. Although her injuries are not healed and she can't do strenuous exercise, it's good to walk more.Asked: "By the way, why did Baosheng and Tiesheng send me back?" Lu Wanqing asked after thinking about her words.

Xia He also looked a little puzzled, "I don't know... You said... those words in the hall that day, the master directly asked someone to turn you out, and then walked outside the ancestral hall to punish you. Auntie begged for mercy and beat twenty boards. Aunt Tian was also punished and banned for a month... In the past, it was the master who did it himself, or Housekeeper Lu. The method was taken out. At that time, the master must have been very angry and ordered them to fight..."

Lu Wanqing has a plan in her heart. What she needs to do now is to heal her wounds and find out who is close to who in this deep house compound. Of course, she is not the original owner, and she doesn't trust anyone. What she wants is how much she still has. room.She looked at the other party, and being able to say these words proved to a certain extent that the other party had agreed with her as the master from the bottom of her heart.

There is a double halo pool in the mountain stream. The mountain is high and the forest is lush, and the water source is abundant. A ray of clear spring seeps out from the cracks in the rocks between the mountains and flows into the pool below. Below this small pool is a larger and deeper pool.The pool water is clear and overflows throughout the year. It flows downstream along the mountain streams and waters the farmland in the mountains.Because it takes at least 10 minutes to walk to the public well in Lu's mansion, and there are many people in Lu's mansion, even if you fetch a bucket of water, you have to go through layers of interrogation to avoid poisoning the crystal and so on.The mountain creek here is less than [-] minutes away from the Jilanyuan, separated by a slope and shaded by trees. Every other day, Xia He goes to the upper pool of Shuangyun Lake to fetch water.

Lu Wanqing thought that he had "come" here for so many days, and he was not familiar with the surrounding environment. The information in the memory of the original owner was messy, and it seemed that he seldom went out.So he wanted to go fetch water with Xia He.Xia He persuaded: "Miss, you are just getting better, just rest in the yard for a while, I will fetch the water and help you back to bed to rest..."

Lu Wanqing said: "If you can get out of bed, it means you're almost fine..." As she was speaking, her body shook slightly. She felt the sound of footsteps coming from the stone path on the other side of the manor, and she was about to leave. It has been a few days since my grandmother came to see me last time, and now I am here to see if I am "dead".Thinking of everything that happened later in the original text, she felt that she should now buy herself more time to recover.So she said to Xia He who was about to pick up the bucket: "Wait a minute, it seems that someone is coming over there." She said this and walked into the house.

Xia He came to her senses quickly, and took two quick steps to help Lu Wanqing into the room and go to bed.Lu Wanqing said, "I'm not in good health yet, so I can't get out of bed..."

Xia He nodded sensiblely and said, "Don't worry, big girl, I know what to do." Lu Wanqing lay down on the bed again and covered her with the quilt.

At this time, footsteps sounded outside the courtyard door, and a middle-aged woman's loud voice sounded: "The old lady is here—" It meant that she was going to pay a visit.

The courtyard door was opened with a bang, and Nanny Wu walked in front and shouted towards the door: "The old lady is here, why don't you come out to pay a visit soon?"

At this moment, the door of the room was hastily opened, and a girl knelt down while wiping her eyes, and said in a crying voice: "My maidservant pays homage to the old lady."

Yu's brows were slightly frowned, and she subconsciously covered her nose with a handkerchief, and Madam Wu next to her said, "Where's your girl? Why don't you come out to see her?"

Xia He's eyes were red, "Big girl, she, she..."

Mother Wu muttered: "What big girl, a girl is a girl, and a concubine is also worthy of being called a big girl?" Even though no one recognized Lu Wanqing as a "big" girl before, no slave dared to say so blatantly. Speaking out, and in front of the old lady, no matter what, she, Lu Wanqing, is also from the Lu family, isn't she?But Yu Shi didn't say anything.

At this time, there was a bang and a painful moan in the room. "Grandmother—grandmother—"

Yu Shi ignored Xia He, who was kneeling on the ground, walked around her and went straight into the room. Mammy Wu gave her a hard look when she passed by, but Xia He pretended not to see her, shrugging her shoulders and sobbing.The other two servant girls followed closely behind.As soon as I entered the room, I saw a haggard woman lying on the ground. It was only about ten days ago, and a perfectly fine person was tortured into such a state.

Lu Wanqing knew that she was very weak now, and she didn't have any support. The only way to protect herself was to show weakness, pretend to be pitiful, and win sympathy.Maybe this can't bring her any benefits, but what she wants is not to make the current situation worse.She barely propped up her arms on the ground, and crawled two steps towards Mrs. Yu: "Grandmother, Qing'er pays respects to grandma...Qing'er knew it was wrong, it's because Qing'er is confused, I won't dare again in the future, please forgive me..."

After all, Yu couldn't bear to see the other party's appearance, and shook the handkerchief, "Oh, it's okay, I'm here this time to see if you're alright, judging by your current state, I'm afraid you won't get better in ten and a half months .Did you take the medicine?"

Lu Wanqing hurriedly said: "Thank you, grandma, for your concern. Two days ago, my mother sent me some medicine, and it was better after applying it..."

Lu Wanqing was only wearing a white cotton obscene dress, and there were traces of pus and blood soaked on the back and buttocks. Because of the cold, and because of the bitter trick just now, some wounds on his body were also torn, and his body hurt again. Cold and shivering.

Yu said, "Is there any medicine?"

Lu Wanqing lowered her head, and Xia He bravely said, "Grand... aunt, there are too many wounds on the girl's body, the medicine Mammy Li brought is only enough to apply twice..."

Shi Yu frowned, and said, "You help the girl to bed, and when you get down to the account room, you can withdraw two hundred yuan to buy medicine first." Yu Shi was not really moved by Lu Wanqing's cruel tricks, but because of Lu Wanqing's scheming. There are new arrangements.The master is planning to betroth her to a marriage, the Meng family at the foot of Niubei Mountain.Although the Meng family is only a small family, and to put it bluntly, they are still "slaves", but the people they serve are not ordinary people, and even the local county magistrate wants to give a little bit to a "fairy" from Xiantai Mountain. Long", supernatural powers.If the Lu family and the Meng family had a relationship, maybe they would produce a great "immortal"...

Lu Wanqing also thanked him repeatedly with great interest.Xia He got up and carefully helped Lu Wanqing onto the bed, lay down on the bed, and covered her with the quilt.

Mrs. Yu had something on her mind, and remembering what the girl said in the hall that day, she kept paying attention to the other party. Seeing the other party's cold sweat in pain, she kept clenching her teeth and did not cry out in pain. Hu's concubine actually has such a strong side... It's a pity that she is a concubine.

Yu said casually, "By the way, what you said about the second girl last time, is it true?"

Lu Wanqing's heart froze, she froze for a moment, her expression was a bit painful and forbearing, and she said in fear: "Grandmother, Qing'er really knows that she is wrong... I am jealous of Ying'er in my heart, I will never dare again..."

Obviously Mrs. Yu didn't have the desire to listen to what she said, and waved his hands: "Okay, okay, it's good to know that you made a mistake, wait a few days for your injuries to heal, come from the Meng family, please do a good job for us It's enough for the Lu family to win glory..." When she said this, it seemed that something was wrong, she gave a fake cough, and said to Madam Wu next to her, "Let's go."

It took a long time for Lu Wanqing to recover from the four masters and servants of the Yu family, "Meng, the Meng family?" She felt a chill rise up her back and shuddered.

Xia He sent away a few great gods, closed the courtyard door, came back and saw Lu Wanqing lying there in a daze, and asked with concern: "Miss, what's wrong with you?"

Lu Wanqing snapped back in shock, "No, it's nothing. Oh, by the way, since the old lady asked us to collect the money for the medicine, you can go and get it back."

While tucking up the quilt, Xia He pursed her mouth and said dissatisfiedly: "It's only two hundred cash, and our food has been halved this month, and we don't even have monthly money. Seeing that winter is coming, we don't even give it to you." Let's buy some new bedding, get some firewood and food..."

After Xia He complained a few words, he shut up wisely, instructed Lu Wanqing to say a few words, and then closed the door and went to the tent.

Lu Wanqing was lying quietly on the cold and wet bed. What Yu said just now undoubtedly made her worse, and it was no exaggeration to say that it must be used as a reminder.Lu Wanqing felt that although she tried her best to avoid the arrangement of "fate", she still involuntarily followed the original track.

The Meng family can be said to be a turning point in the life of "Lu Wanqing".She remembered that the original text said that after "she" was beaten for a month, the head of the Lu family wanted to betroth her to a man named Xu who used to be a cook in Sendai Mountain.But at that time, she was dressed up by the Lu family to meet him, and recommended herself as a pillow, but she was rejected. In a fit of anger, Master Lu drove her into the aunt's temple ten miles away.

If it follows the plot in the original text, Lu Wanqing feels that she still has at least half a year to fight for her own destiny.However, all this is ahead of schedule.In other words, have the butterfly wings of my "Lu Wanqing" who has changed the core already started to flap?But instead of going in a good direction, it pushed her into the abyss of death faster.
