boudoir

Chapter 303
But in the end it was impossible, so he said calmly: "Isn't it better if you don't decoct the medicine in the small kitchen in the second room? Why bother to come to the big kitchen?" While looking at the unwilling cook woman again: "It's true for you, and you're not busy doing anything right now, so what if you set up a stove for her? Are you going to have a big dispute here? Let the prince know later, and you will suffer."

The cook was in a hurry, but she did not forget to bow down and salute first: "My servant, Wang Erhua, was ordered by Mr. Wu to take charge of this big kitchen. If I go back to grandma, it's not that the servant refuses to let me, but the girl is too annoying. She wants to The medicine was decocted, but he said that Aunt Mo hadn’t eaten dinner today, so we insisted on making her a new meal. There is also good soup and food. The servant is preparing the table for tomorrow morning. Where is the time? Waiter? Grandma, don't listen to her alone, you have wronged your servant."

Liuli stared at her until she finished replying, seeing that although she was dressed in a rough manner, she was still polite, so she said, "Where did you work before? How long have you been here?"

Wang Erhua said: "The servant girl used to work in the kitchen of the main courtyard, and she has been in the palace for four or five years."

Liuli nodded, and then asked the maid, "Why didn't your aunt eat?"

The servant girl said: "It's a big Chinese New Year, my aunt is alone in the room and can't eat."

Liu Li raised the corners of her lips: "Why aren't you alone now?"

Embarrassed, the servant girl murmured and couldn't answer.

Liuli suddenly lowered her face, "My aunt is my aunt, even if she is pregnant with her master, she is still a half-servant! There is a small kitchen in the second room and ran to the big kitchen to find it uncomfortable. Are you trying to play tricks on me? I want justice, get out!"

Only then did the servant girl realize how powerful she was, and she immediately knelt down and said, "Grandma calm down. It's not that the slaves came here to make trouble, but the second grandma said that it's unlucky to boil medicine in the room during the Chinese New Year, so we are not allowed to fire. Auntie can't do anything about it." , and then let the servants come to the big kitchen."

Looking at her expression, Liuli seems to be telling the truth. It's not like Yuhua can't do this kind of thing, and Aunt Mo is the only one at the family banquet tonight, so she should take the opportunity to complain about her grievances. Yes, but he didn't have the courage to go to the big kitchen to make trouble.Because it's a rule for my aunt not to attend, no matter how much she relies on the piece of meat in her stomach, she can't get past this reason.Feeling annoyed, he made a fuss here by taking advantage of He Yuhua's manipulation of her.

After thinking for a while, Liuli turned her head and whispered something to Haitang, then turned back and said to Wang Erhua, "You pick out some dishes and cook them for her to send back to the second room, and let her fry the medicine by the way, but the meals and The medicine must be taken in front of her before she takes it away. If she doesn’t try it, you won’t give it away.”

Wang Erhua quickly nodded in agreement.

The maid stared at Liuli twice before lowering her head again.

Liuli also glanced at her before asking about Ming'er's visit to the ancestral hall in the morning.

After leaving the big kitchen, Haitang stopped her in the hallway, "I asked Yinliu just now, and it really happened. But she said that she didn't expect that Aunt Mo would let people go directly to the big kitchen to make trouble, Aunt Mo The xinxing is also strong, and the second master didn't go back to the room after dinner, so the prince and his wife who wanted to make trouble would know."

Liuli frowned, thinking of the way He Yuhua stared at her during the dinner, she always felt like she was thinking about some trick, and the maid just now didn't look simple, could there be any relationship between the two?And running to the big kitchen to cook medicine, is it really all at the behest of Aunt Mo?

After thinking about it, she turned her head and said to Haitang: "Go and call Liu Wei to Chaoqing Hall."

Haitang quickly went to the big kitchen.While walking, Liuli asked Ye Tong: "You or Liu Wei, which one is better at tracking?"

Ye Tong rubbed his nose and said, "The little one is slightly better in fists and feet. If you want to follow up and collect evidence, Liu Wei is stronger."

Liuli smiled: "How do you know that I still need to collect evidence?"

Ye Tong blushed slightly, "Since grandma wants to follow up, she must obtain evidence, why not follow up."

Liuli smiled and nodded.

Entering the main hall with the front foot, Liu Wei arrived with the back foot. Liuli swung back to the left and right, sat down and said, "I heard from Ye Tong that you are very good at tracking, so you can help me with something right now."

Liu Wei said: "Grandma ordered it!"

Liuli took a sip of tea, and winked at Haitang, who stepped forward and whispered an explanation to him.

Liu Wei clenched his fists at Liuli, turned around and disappeared into the night.

He Yuhua might not necessarily think of using Aunt Mo to deal with Liuli, but she would always deal with the child in Aunt Mo's belly.Now it is four or five months, and the child will take shape a little later, and it will not be so easy to fall.In fact, what is Aunt Mo, what He Yuhua really wants to get rid of is the child who may become the eldest son of the concubine.Tonight almost everyone went to the backyard to watch a play or a sideshow. This is the best chance to make a move. She didn't believe that she would be able to bear it.

After watching Liu Wei leave, Liuli was relieved to rest.With such a person around, it is impossible not to detect her tricks.

But tonight, people in the mansion didn't have much rest. After a while, they had to sing until midnight, then they had to kowtow to pay New Year's greetings, and they had to go to Laoqi's mansion to worship at five o'clock, and then they had to prepare breakfast.There are quite a lot of capable people in the palace. If it is said that there is no need to prevent Mei and He Yuhua from making trouble, in fact, she doesn't need to work too hard. She just needs to make arrangements, and naturally someone will do it obediently. It's a pity that she always doesn't want to make trouble An accident happened, so the nerves were extra tense.

After a little crooked on the couch, I had to go to Huanhualou to listen to the show with my in-laws.

Qi Yunke didn't know what kind of treasure he got, so he pulled Qi Yunhao under the hibiscus tree to admire it over and over again, Liuli met Li Xing in the corridor, and when he heard what he said, he ignored it.

Entering Huanhualou, the good show has already begun. There are people sitting in the courtyard, besides the master of the palace, there are also many decent slaves, some of them are from the generation of the old master and the old lady, and they were originally staying in the old Qi mansion. Over there, today they also took over together, and some offshoots of the Qifu clan also followed.Because Liuli didn't know each other, she nodded with a smile, taking it as a greeting.Seeing the children in the clan, she asked Rui'er to reward them with some coins and candies.

Liuli's seat is on the left of King Dingbei and Mei's. They are all upstairs in the grandstand, with several large smokers burning next to them.King Dingbei swayed his beard and shook his head watching Guan Yu's battle with Chang Banpo. When he saw Liuli sitting down, he said, "This troupe is good! Later, you will reward Guan Yu with 50 taels of silver. And Zhang Fei from before will also be rewarded." 30 taels!"

Cooperating with the old man, he just listened to the things about the Three Kingdoms today, Liu Li looked at him and said, "My lord, I can't take care of the silver rewards. I don't have the key to the big treasury."

King Dingbei was stunned for a moment, and then he remembered that Liuli was not in charge of this family, and he was only in charge of it for two days.So he glanced at Mei Shi.Mrs. Mei hurriedly lowered her head and responded, "I'll go back and get the money right now."

When Mrs. Mei stood up, King Dingbei pondered for a while, and said: "I went back to your courtyard and saw that there were not many decorations in your hall. There are many bottles and cans in the big library. What do you like later? Go pick a few."

Liu Li paused, smiled, and said, "Thank you, my lord."

Looking at him again, another calculation arose in my heart.

He Yuhua watched from the side, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he turned his head back silently.

Liuli has no interest in these martial arts, so she just watched the fun, but the old man liked it, so she had to accompany her as a daughter-in-law.Seeing Zhou Yu play Huang Gai and was about to get up to go to the event, the stairs suddenly thumped, and then someone rushed up and said, "Ma'am, Second Grandma, it's not good, Aunt Mo is not good!"

Mei's face darkened, "It's Chinese New Year, what's good! Go down and think about it before we talk!"

Here Liuli's heart sank, and she asked, "What happened?"

The person who came was a woman, obviously panicked, she immediately fell silent when she heard Mei's reprimand, but when she heard Liuli's questioning, she glanced at Mei before she spoke again: "My aunt was just watching the fireworks in the corridor, accidentally My foot rolled down the stone steps, and now the ground is covered with blood, and I don't know what to do."

"Where is the second child?"

King Dingbei took the case.

The mother-in-law was startled: "The second master is not here, not in the house."

Liuli hurriedly said: "Wu Zhong, go and invite the doctor! Haitang, go and find out where the second master went?!" She winked at Haitang.

After all, as she expected, something happened. It's not that there is no one in Aunt Mo's yard, so why did she suddenly step down the stone steps?Said it was an accident, even if she was killed, she would not believe it.It's just that Mei Shi and He Yuhua don't move at the moment, and she doesn't move either.

King Dingbei shouted, "Why don't you go and have a look?!"

Then Mei got up and went downstairs with He Yuhua.King Dingbei pointed to Liuli: "You also take a look and see what's going on."

Liuli nodded, and went downstairs with Ye Tong and Yuegui.

When we got to the second room, we heard Aunt Mo's screams amid the sound of firecrackers.

After all, Mrs. Mei still felt sorry for her grandson, so she couldn't help but quicken her pace when she reached the door.He Yuhua was a few steps behind, but after thinking about it, he followed closely.Liuli went to the door of the backyard of the second room and saw that Aunt Mo was still lying on the ground, the snow had already been dyed red, and many maids and women were lighting the fumigation stove and laying quilts to keep her warm.

Liuli stood at the door, and Classmate Ye uttered two calls of insects, but there was silence all around.Ye Tongdao: "Liu Wei is not nearby." Liuli nodded: "Then go in."

After entering the courtyard, the doctor has already arrived, and Mrs. Mei is ordering the women to put the tumbling Aunt Mo on the quilt and carry her into the back room.When the doctor was checking the pulse, Mei said to Liuli, "What are you doing here? It's none of your business here!"

The corner of Liuli's mouth twitched, and said: "I know it's nothing to do with me, but unfortunately I came here on the order of the prince, so I can't leave now."

Mei's teeth were itching with hatred, she went back to an armchair in the room with a heavy face and sat down, pointed at the servants and women guarding the door, and yelled: "This is the flesh and blood of the second master, the eldest grandson of the prince, you How careless you are, why don't you kneel down for me!"
