boudoir

Chapter 22 Trouble is coming
It was still raining outside, let alone a sick person, even a rough man couldn't stand the cold.Liuli stood inside the door and pointed at Cheng Ma: "Stop him!"

Cuiying hesitated, Ruier seemed to be angry, but rushed forward without hesitation, grabbing the woman's sleeve tightly.

Liuli went up to pull Tian'er off by herself, ignoring Cheng's mother's spoiling, and moved Tian'er back to the bed with Rui'er.Cuiying also pretended to come over, Liuli didn't have time to pay attention to her now, Tian'er's cheeks were already burnt red and glowing, it would be too late if she didn't take medicine to treat her!Then he looked up at Rui'er, took out a golden scorpion, and stared straight into her eyes: "I don't care what method you use, what route you take, just grab some antipyretics right now, and the matter will be done." Once you buy this golden locket, it's yours!"

The three present were all stunned, Cheng Ma swallowed, and Liuli stared back at what Cuiying wanted to say.At this time, she seemed to have a power that people had to look up to, making these old oily guys have no courage to play tricks.

Rui'er pursed her lips, nodded heavily, turned around and went out the door.

Cheng's mother came back to her senses, and howled again: "My son!" She wanted to pull Tian'er.Poor Tian'er was dying of illness, when her mother dragged her around like this, she couldn't help retching immediately.Liuli has seen a mother who is cruel, but she has never seen a mother who is so eager to kill her own daughter immediately. Immediately, she got angry, gritted her teeth and stepped forward, rounding her arms and slapping her two old faces: "Bastard!" Stuff! You were called here to take her back to see a doctor, but you used her as a tool to get angry with me, now get the hell out of here!"

Cuiying screamed in fright.

Cheng's mother covered her face and was stunned for a moment. Suddenly, like a flood that opened the gate, she slumped on the ground and shouted for God.

Liuli didn't bother to pay attention, and strode back to sit by the stove to warm up.Cuiying didn't dare to slack off, and immediately made her a pot of hot tea.After a while, seeing that Liuli's expression was the same as before, she no longer looked particularly angry, so she offered her courtesy in a low voice: "This old woman is notoriously a rascal, young lady, be careful that she spreads rumors in front of Madam to make trouble."

Liuli held the tea and remained silent.Some things are not necessarily useful just by being careful, without the support of Mrs. Yu, no matter how much an old lady looks down on her, she would not dare to confront her face to face. This old lady obviously came prepared.She knew that they were all stretching their necks waiting to get her, and she didn't want to get into this troubled water, but how could she let an old woman hold her because she was afraid of them?
These two slaps were for Tian'er, and also for some people to see.

Cuiying didn't see her reply for a long time, she took a peek at her face, quietly stood behind her with a bow, and didn't dare to get closer.

Time passed with the flickering of the fire, and when the cock crowed, Rui'er came back with a layer of rain powder on her head, and at this time, Mrs. Cheng couldn't bear the cold and sleepiness, and left yawning and cursing. "Girl, it was prescribed by Zhi Zhongtang's doctor!" Rui'er panted and held up three paper packages, her cheeks flushed.Cuiying hurriedly reached out to pick it up: "I'll fry it."

Liu Li beckoned Rui'er to sit by the stove, and handed over the golden scorpion, Rui'er paused for a moment, and thanked her for accepting it.Liuli didn't ask her how she did it, as if it was easy to do, when Cuiying came back with the medicine and fed it to Tian'er, she rubbed her hands, folded her sleeves and went back to the room to catch up on sleep .

This sleep was very peaceful.

Just when she felt that she wanted to turn over, Rui'er suddenly woke her up: "There is a message from Madam, please come over."

It was bright everywhere outside the window, she wiped her eyes and got up, "What time is it?" Ruier helped her get the clothes: "It's time." She thought of Tianer again: "How is it?" Ruier helped her with the clothes Put it on: "I got up early and sweated profusely. I just changed my clothes and ate a small bowl of porridge. The fever has subsided, and I'm much better."

Liuli nodded and got out of bed to wash.

Rui'er hesitated for a while, and finally whispered: "Madam summoned must be because of what happened last night. The girl is still too impulsive, and she doesn't want to offend anyone for a girl. That girl is not a fuel-efficient lamp. I'm afraid that the girl will go here." Inevitably, you will have to suffer some hardships. But don’t be afraid, girl, I have just told Tian’er the whole story, as long as Madam asks, we will intercede for you.”

Liuli paused for a moment, then looked at her in the mirror: "If you really want to help me, don't talk." The last thing she needs now is for Mrs. Yu to think that she is cultivating a confidant, and at this time to speak for her, she will kill her. Push up the tip.

It's just that Ruier seemed puzzled, Liuli didn't bother to explain to her, and went out.

At this moment, the curtain moved, and a maid poked her head in: "Are you ready? Madame is still waiting!"

Liuli glanced at the breakfast on the table, it was no longer hot, but Rui'er got a crock from somewhere and warmed a bowl of porridge for her on the stove.Take it and drink it in two or three gulps, then lift the curtain and go out the door.

The maid who came over from the long room was called Caiqin, and she was cooking in the stove next door, when she saw her come out, she frowned. "Girl is so lucky, our wife has been doing things for half a day, but you slept soundly, and you just woke up now!"

Liuli glanced at her, fastened the belt of her cloak, and accompanied by Rui'er, went to the long room.

When they arrived at the long room, someone said, "Why did you come here?" Caiqin snarled at Liuli, turned around and looked at the visitor again, feeling a little impatient.

"Come in!"

Liuli was brought into the main room, the curtains were put down because of the cold weather, it seemed to become darker in front of her eyes, at first glance she could only see Mrs Yu sitting on the kang, with a few maidservants standing on both sides, Hongxiu was beating her shoulders.

Liuli called "Madam" first, and then stood aside.Yu's face was sullen: "Mother Cheng told you to beat her, is there such a thing?"

Lucy paused and nodded.

Mrs. Yu patted the table, "How courageous! Mother Cheng is the third young master's nanny, and even the third young master has to respect her as a nanny on weekdays, who allowed you to beat her?!"

Liu Li knelt down: "Yesterday Tian'er was seriously ill, dare to ask Madam, if Tian'er died of illness, would I be responsible?"

Yu said: "Since I am serving you, I am naturally responsible for treating you."

Liuli said: "Last night I escaped from the custom in the mansion and called Mama Cheng to pick Tian'er home for medical treatment. Mama Cheng insisted on bringing Tian'er here to ask Madam for leave before leaving despite the rain and cold. He snatched Tian'er and kept it, and slapped Cheng Ma."

Yu stared at her for a moment, then said slowly, "Mother Cheng didn't say that."

She raised her hand back, and a figure flickered behind the screen. Cheng Ma came out, threw herself in front of the hall, knelt down, and cried, "Madam must be the master of this old slave!"

Yu said: "How did Miss Nine bully you?"

Cheng Ma turned around and pointed at Liuli: "She didn't care about Tian'er's life or death, and wouldn't let the old slave take her away. If the old slave refused, she would beat me! She knew that I was the third young master's nanny, and she did it to me. I didn't take you and the third young master seriously!"

She danced and swiped her fingers, tears and snot came out, and the temperature in the room seemed to have increased a lot due to her disturbance.

Yu Shi looked at Liuli: "I know you are the daughter of the old lady who nodded and left behind, and you dare to beat even the legitimate daughters of the mansion. Mama Cheng has served the third young master since childhood, and she is still a generation older than you , you have been used to living in the field since you were young, and you probably don’t know how to behave in a respectable family. Since I’m your mother-in-law, I should teach you what the rules are now! Come here, give Miss Jiu a slap in the face!”
