boudoir

Chapter 50
After Yu's dinner, she asked Hongxiu to leave the table, and Caiqin came in and said, "The Fourth Madam is here."

Stepping into the threshold, Nie took off the scarlet golden velvet inlaid pearl cloak and handed it to Xiulan, and said to Yu, "Did sister-in-law eat?"

Mrs. Yu hummed, took the tea from Hongxiu, rinsed her mouth, pointed to a mud-carved chair held by a spring swallow in her right hand, motioned her to sit down, wiped her lips with a silk cloth, and said, "All the testimonies with fingerprints will be sent to the yamen. gone?"

Mrs. Nie nodded: "I sent them all, and the bodies of Cuiying and Tian'er were taken back by their respective mothers. I heard that when they were carried out of the mansion, Cuiying's mother had a fight with Cheng Ma in the back alley." , and now they are all dragged up the mountain and buried!"

Rubbing her forehead, Yu sighed, "I asked them to add ten taels to the original 20 taels of compensation, but did you tell me everything?"

Nie's eyes flickered, and she said with a smile: "I said it, we will make arrangements for the next afternoon." She walked up to Yu and sat down, and said, "Sister-in-law has made that Qi's suffer a lot this time. Damn Cuiying, let's see if she dares to reach out to the long room next time!"

Hearing this, Mrs. Yu suddenly turned her head and stared at her for a long time.Mrs. Nie touched her face, and said worriedly: "What's wrong?" Mrs. Yu put down the teacup with an unpredictable expression, "Even you think I killed Cuiying?"

Nie sat up straight with a look of surprise.

Yu's face gradually became gloomy, "Now everyone who knows Cuiying's details thinks that I killed her. I'm afraid the old lady thinks so. The person who used this trick is really cruel."

Nie's eyes were wide open, his lips parted, but he couldn't speak.

Yu's chest rose and fell slowly, "Once Cuiying died, Tian'er committed suicide, I can't even tell if I've grown a thousand mouths."

Nie grasped the silk tightly with both hands, nodded after half a day and said: "Sister-in-law is a woman, so naturally she wouldn't make things difficult for a maid, so this must be done by Tian'er, she killed Cuiying, and hurried back to Chang'an Fang reported, who knew that dead girl Rui'er would not let her go, so he injured her! Later, I heard that the wives gathered in the small gourd yard to try the case, and then I realized that there was a big trouble, so I threw myself into the lake in panic !"

Mrs. Yu snorted slightly, "This can only be used to fool those who don't know the truth, Tian'er will not kill herself, she was killed. Only when she dies can I be convicted of killing and silence me, you didn't hear that Did Mrs. Qi say it? She said that there is no proof of death now, so isn’t this telling the big guys that both girls died at my hands?!”

Hearing her analysis, Mrs. Nie also frowned: "Who made this trick? It was the same thing with the big kitchen last time. Then Mrs. Fu is obviously not involved. I haven't had time to find out about it yet." When people come, they will come immediately and even more ruthlessly! Sister-in-law, tell me, could this be done by the same person? It's a pity that those two women will never talk again, otherwise—”

Mrs. Yu snorted coldly: "I don't know the person who put the talisman on Ba Yatou, and I don't know who Cuiying died for the time being, but the person who killed Tian'er must be Mrs. Qi! Last time she swept my face in public, Later, she was blocked by the old lady, and now she is using this incident to frame me, but if she thinks that she can defeat me with these two tricks, then she is dreaming!"

She flicked the teacup onto the rug, and the mandala flower on the Persian rug was instantly dented with two branches.

Seeing her like this, Mrs. Nie couldn't help but tighten her heart, pinched the back of the other with one hand, and said nothing more.

Mrs. Qi lay on the couch in a daze for a long time, when Aunt Ning came in with a tray.

"This is musk deer meat brought from the previous village. I see that my wife has been obsessed with internal and external affairs these days, and my appetite is not very good, so I let the soup be stewed in the sensory room. Madam, let's drink it while it's hot." .”

Mrs. Qi stretched her body a bit, sat up a little, looked at the soup and said, "Give it to Huan'er."

Aunt Ning hurriedly said: "Where can Huan'er be shortened, Caiping has already carried it over."

Mrs. Qi listened, then took a spoonful and took a sip.

Aunt Ning sat down next to the couch, and said with a smile: "When Madam was taking her lunch break in the afternoon, Cuiying's wife, Lao Tzu, came and kept thanking Madam for taking the lead for Cuiying! Killed Tian'er, otherwise, with Da Furen covering her, I don't know how to avenge this revenge..."

"What are you chewing on?!"

Qi suddenly got up and sat up, staring at her with round eyes.

Aunt Ning was so frightened that she fell to the ground, looked back and immediately got up and backed away.

Qi Shi stared at the past, his eyes were so cold and refreshing.

Rui'er woke up at dawn, Liuli put down the scroll, left the smoked cage and walked to the bedside.

Rui'er tilted her side, looked at her for a long time before opening her mouth: "Girl?"

Liuli looked at her and hummed, reached out her hand to touch her forehead, and said, "It's a good thing you don't have a fever. Do you want to drink water?"

Ruier nodded, then immediately shook her head.Liuli poured a bowl of hot water, took a spoon and slowly brought it to her lips.Rui'er bit her lower lip and shook her head, Liuli said lightly: "Now it's not the same as before, regardless of your status, now you are the only maid in my room, you have to get well quickly and serve me." Rui'er rolled down two tears, Then he drank with trembling lips.

The small stove has been brought into the room by Liuli, on which a bowl of porridge is warmed in an earthen pot.Liuli brought out the porridge, Rui'er barely ate half of the bowl, and shook her head at her.

It hurts my butt, and I can't sit still.Liuli turned her over to lie on her stomach, took off her clothes and put on her sore medicine.When Rui'er received the punishment yesterday, she knew that the mansion would never give any good medicine, so she rushed out to catch up with Dr. Wu, and bought three bottles of wound medicine from him, and now she has applied it four or five times, and the redness and swelling are better. , nor fever.

With tears in her eyes, Rui'er turned her head to see Xunlong's white fox cloak and book, she paused and said, "Miss, have you been here all this time without closing your eyes?"

Liuli didn't stop, and continued to apply the sore ointment on her carefully, and said: "I found a book yesterday, it was interesting, and I didn't feel sleepy."

Ruier bit her lip and fell silent.After a while, he choked back his sobs and said: "Young lady's kindness, slaves can't repay her in this lifetime."

Liuli snorted lightly, put on her clothes for her, and covered her with the quilt: "Your life is worth so little?"

Rui'er wiped her tears with her sleeves, sobbing: "Slave, I'm sorry girl..."

Liuli went back to Xunlong and sat down: "Okay, don't cry, I won't have to change your pillow when you turn around. The thing I don't like the most about you is that you are timid, afraid of getting into trouble, and cry at every turn. If you can It would be nice to have a thick skin like Nanny Li."

Rui'er blushed, "Slave, I will change..." She thought again: "Where's Nanny Li?"

"She, let's go to sleep!" Liuli raised her legs to set up the smoker cage, and picked up the book to read, "Yesterday, when the eldest lady left, she was also called over, and it seems that she went to see the old lady later. , when she came back, her head drooped, she must have been reprimanded, since she didn't come to our place anyway, I didn't have time to talk to her."

Rui'er pursed her lips and said silently: "I'm hurting the girl..."
