Chapter 21

"Hehehehe." Aunt Zhao covered her mouth and smiled lightly, "Madam, I guess I'm not the only one who guesses that girl Chunxi was injured."

"Huh?" Mrs. He looked at Aunt Zhao majestically with a sullen face, and said, "Could it be that I'm old and don't know many things in the backyard? Tell me, why did girl Chunxi get injured?"

"Old madam." Aunt Zhao said with a smile, "The whole backyard is aware of the fact that Chunxi girl and a guard have been entangled, and everyone is talking about it. I heard that the eldest son was angry and asked the eldest lady to arrest Chunxi girl." Shut up in the woodshed. She was suddenly seriously injured, what would everyone think?"

"Everyone knows about this backyard, but I don't know?" Mrs. He's face was covered with dark clouds, although her skin was well maintained and her skin was smooth, but there were still fine wrinkles at the corners of her forehead and eyes.What do others think?Others would only think that the eldest lady lynched her maidservant in order to uphold the family tradition, and then in order to prevent the maidservant from being seriously injured and die, she asked a doctor to treat the maidservant's injuries.

"Old lady, don't be angry." Guixiang, the old lady's personal maid, hurriedly said, "Some people say it's just a rumor. Chunxi was in a hurry to find the lady that day, but she couldn't stop walking and bumped into the guard Zhao who happened to go into the backyard to look for the master. The guards have followed the master in and out of the backyard several times, and you have seen him too. I don't think that Chunxi will be entangled with him."

"Madam, there are a lot of people in the backyard, and some rumors will only pollute your ears if they spread to your ears."

"That's right, old lady. Guard Zhao's looks make no girl like him."

"Chun Xi is beautiful and juicy, with a good temperament, maybe someone is jealous of her and takes the opportunity to ruin her reputation.

Several daughter-in-laws who accompanied Mrs. He here said one after another.They are all old people in the backyard. They have seen a lot of wives and concubines fighting openly and secretly in the backyard, and they have even been involved in it. So when the rumor spread to them, they expressed that the credibility was extremely low.

Mrs. He's expression softened a lot when she listened.Who is Guard Zhao?He is a disfigured rough guy, timid girls will stand away when they see him, so the master sometimes allows him to enter the backyard to help him send messages or deliver things.

"It seems that Chunxi is sometimes frizzy when she does things." Mrs. He said kindly, she sighed a little in her heart, the magistrate's family taught such a young lady who didn't think carefully about things?The maid's style is not good, can't she just sell her for a small punishment?Hurt the servant girl and abuse the servants, and she has tarnished her reputation for nothing!

Mrs. He turned her face to the daughter-in-law Qian Mama, who was in charge, and said, "He Xiang, go over and see the girl Chunxi's injury, and then tell the eldest lady that if the maid is not good, she can be scolded, beaten or sold, and she cannot be seriously injured." She remembered that the eldest daughter-in-law had two dowry maids. She looked at them at the time, and felt that the less handsome and honest ones, and the good-looking ones were quiet and introverted, and thought it would be good for her son to accept her in the future.

"Yes, old lady." Qian Mama, the daughter-in-law in charge, immediately bowed and then left.

"I'm tired, I want to lie down." Mrs. He coldly followed the order.

Aunt Zhao immediately said: "Old Madam, it will be Master's [-]th birthday in two months. Master likes to watch martial arts, you have to remember."

Mrs. He's face suddenly became gloomy, "Of course I take care of the master's affairs, it's not your turn to worry about it." A concubine and aunt, how dare she show off the master's trust in her in front of her.

Aunt Zhao bowed and said, "Old Madam, I want to withdraw this month's monthly payment in advance, do you think it's okay? It's getting hot soon, and the fifth son and the third miss need to have new clothes tailored."

Mrs. He said coldly: "The clothes of the master and servant in the mansion are fixed throughout the year, so you don't need to worry about it. Go down."

"Yes, old lady." Seeing that old lady He was angry, Aunt Zhao had no choice but to retreat.Bah, relying on the rouge powder money and rice grain cloth that the old lady distributes to the aunts, can the aunts look good?

In the maid's room on the left side of Xiefangyuan, Chunxi was sitting by the window, and an old doctor in his fifties was standing in front of her carefully examining the wound on her face.Before the doctor came, Chunli had already used Zhao's mother's method to help Chunxi stop the bleeding.After the bleeding stopped, they helped her wipe the blood off her face with a clean white cloth and hot water, and waited for the doctor to come and prescribe the medicine.

After listening to Chunxi's story about the face injury, the old doctor carefully checked the wound for any remaining wood thorns or sawdust, then took out a wooden box from the medicine box he carried with him, and said, "Girl's wound is still clean, just use my spring to clean it." The wound plaster that Futang made himself is ready." He said, and he handed the wooden box to the servant girl standing next to Chunxi.

Chun Li quickly took it, opened it, and immediately smelled an unpleasant smell.No matter how bad the smell of this black greasy plaster is, you have to wipe it on!She hooked a little bit with her finger, and carefully wiped it on the wound on Chunxi's left cheek.

Chun Xi suddenly frowned slightly.Chun Li immediately asked, "Did I hurt you with my gestures too much? I'll be gentler, lighter." As she spoke, her hands that applied Chunxi's ointment became lighter and more gentle.
