good meal

Chapter 173
As she had expected, the medicine had been decocted long ago, and Lin's mother, who kept saying that she would help her watch the fire, was sleeping soundly beside her.Dong Xue felt depressed, the medicine took time and time, and if she had to re-decoct it, the princess might lose her temper again.

Shaking Mama Lin awake angrily, Dongxue pursed her mouth and said, "Mom, didn't you say you would watch the fire for the servants? The medicine has been decocted, what do you think?"

Raising her hand and wiping her mouth, Lin's mother, who was still awake, said dissatisfiedly: "What are you shouting about?" She only woke up when she smelled the pungent smell, and looked at Dong Xue with a complaining face, she was serious. Lian said, "You can't do anything I've told you. Did you add less water to this medicine?"

"No, the maidservant added four bowls of water according to the doctor's order." Dong Xue muttered, "Now that the concubine is to blame, it's none of the slaveservant's business."

What do you mean none of your business!Mother Lin's brows were so blue and veiny that they burst out with anger, but she returned to her smiling face in a blink of an eye. She asked, "This is my mother's fault. Mom will find a way. By the way, what does the prince say?"

"My lord is discussing matters, but I don't see anyone." Dong Xue said.

"What are you discussing here?" Mama Lin asked, "But you just talked about it to perfuse mom?"

After hearing this, Dongxue became more and more dissatisfied. After running outside for a long time, she was said to be perfunctory. Turning her face away, she said, "This servant is just a servant. How can this servant have the right to know what the prince is doing?"

These words were clearly meant to satirize her carelessness as a slave, so Mama Lin's face darkened, and she yelled, "Dong Xue, what's the matter with you?"

Dong Xue jumped, patted her chest and said, "Mom, what are you doing, you scared the slaves."

"You can't cook all the medicines? You know you're lazy and sleep in one day! Wangfei's medicine is so precious, can you afford it?" Lin's mother put her hips on her hips and scolded angrily, "It's just because you like to be lazy on weekdays. If I don't punish you today, the skin of your little hoof won't be tight!"

Hearing this, Dongxue came back to her senses and yelled at her injustice: "Mom, what nonsense are you talking about? You asked me to run errands, and you said you were watching the fire for me. You boiled the medicine dry. Why do you blame the servant girl for coming up?" ?”

"Bah!" Mama Lin spat and said, "Mom obviously sent a letter for the princess. You little hoof still wants to blame her. Do you really think your mother is dead?"

The two people spoke to each other, and every sentence had a strong smell of gunpowder, and they got into a fight after a while.

After being pinched several times, Dongxue couldn't help but fight back. She raised her hand and scratched Mama Lin's face. Mama Lin let out a "wow" and sat down on the ground, crying: "Hey, kill someone!"

Dong Xue, who was at a loss what to do, saw that this villain complained first, and immediately ran out, hoping to invite Mrs. Gu to uphold justice.

Seeing Dongxue run away, Mother Lin who was still lying on the ground stood up cleverly and followed.Mother Lin caught up with Dongxue in three steps and two steps, grabbed her hair and pulled it vigorously: "You are shameless, you dare to do something to mother after splashing mother's black water, if you don't clean you up today, mother It’s really been a waste of living for so many years!”

Dongxue was in pain and screamed, and when she turned her head to see that Mama Lin had torn off a handful of her hair, she became anxious and raised her hand to grab Mama Lin fiercely.Not to be outdone, Mother Lin returned her hand.

The two of them fought like fighting cocks, their hair was disheveled, they looked like servants of a wealthy family, but they looked like lowly market people.

Just when they were all desperate, Gu said: "Shut up and get out!"

Hearing Gu's voice, Dong Xue burst into tears, covered her face and entered the room weeping.

Mother Lin scolded the little hoof for pretending to be pitiful, she also shed a few tears.

Kneeling side by side in front of Mrs. Gu, Dongxue was the first to speak out: "Princess, you must be the master of your servants!"

"Okay!" Gu slapped the table and said, "Look at what you look like, crazy and crazy, how dignified you are!"

After being scolded, Dongxue faltered, shrank her neck and dared not speak.

Mother Lin snorted twice in her heart, kowtowed her head heavily, and said, "Princess, this maid is really hard to keep. Look at this old servant's face, hoot."

Seeing Mama Lin's face bruised and purple, coupled with a few scratch marks from her fingernails, it was indeed a bit horrible.Gu Shi thought it was funny, and when she thought that someone in this room was uglier than herself, she felt better, but her face was still serious: "What's going on, mother, tell me!"

Mama Lin immediately twisted things up and down, and Dongxue on the side blushed with anger, but she didn't dare to do anything wrong in front of Mrs. Gu, so she had to endure silently.

After hearing Mama Lin's complaint, Mrs. Gu frowned and looked at Dongxue and said, "Dongxue, is that so?"

"No princess!" Dong Xue quickly explained, "This servant is delivering the message for you."

"This is really interesting." Gu sneered with disbelief on her face, "Obviously I asked Mama Lin to go, why did you become you?"

Dongxue glanced at Mama Lin with lingering fear, and said timidly, "Because Mama Lin didn't want to go, so I let the maidservant go to run errands. She also said that she would take care of the princess's medicine for the maidservant, so the maidservant dared to go."

"You're talking nonsense!" Mama Lin said coldly, "Obviously I was the one who went to find the prince, but it's a pity that the prince was discussing matters, so my mother didn't get the message. When I came back, I saw you, a maid, sleeping lazily and decocting the concubine's medicine." Already!"

"No servant!" Dong Xue also kowtowed to Mrs. Gu, and said, "If the princess doesn't believe it, you can ask Ding Er to testify for the servant and ask him if he saw Mother Lin or the servant today!" After finishing speaking, Then he stared at Mother Lin fiercely.

Mother Lin forgot about this, and when she thought of Ding Er, she subconsciously shrank back a little, but she still insisted: "You still have the face to mention Ding Er, don't think that mom doesn't know that you have an affair with that kid Accept!"

"Mom, it's fine if you slander the servant for being lazy, how can you talk nonsense about this!" Dongxue stared round her eyes and said, "The servant has never been out of the yard to serve the princess except today, so why are you giving and receiving privately! Say it!"

"Okay!" Mrs. Gu stopped her and said, "Dong Xue, you girl is really going too far."

Dongxue was stunned for a moment, she clearly explained why the concubine still blamed herself, she glanced at the proud mother Lin, she kowtowed and asked: "Princess Mingjian, I don't know where the fault is."

Gritting her teeth and looking at the stubborn Dongxue, Mother Lin said, "You're a dead duck, you don't admit you're wrong, and you want the princess to tell you! What do you think you are?"

"What are you?" Dong Xue retorted, full of aggrieved stomach.

"Hey! It's against you, you little maid!" Mother Lin made a gesture to stand up and strike. Out of the corner of her eye, she noticed that Gu's expression was wrong. I was lazy and disobedient in the past, and today I committed such a big thing."

Taking a sip of the hot tea offered by Qiuyue in a leisurely manner, Gu raised her brows lightly and asked, "Then what does mother think I should do with Dongxue?"

"Xiaoyue just didn't listen to orders before..." Mother Lin reminded.

Dongxue's complexion was as white as paper at the moment, she never imagined that Mother Lin was so cruel that she wanted to kill herself!
Qiuyue, who had been silent all this time, said: "Princess, Dongxue is at fault, but the crime is not worthy of death. Besides, the new maid has not been delivered yet, and there is a shortage of manpower around the concubine."

"Well, what Qiuyue said makes sense." Mrs. Gu nodded, put down the teacup, and said, "Let's forget about Dongxue today, let's not make an example!"

Unexpectedly, Mother Lin couldn't help feeling depressed, she looked at Dongxue and said, "I don't know Xie En yet."

Thanking her reluctantly, Dong Xue was full of hatred.She was really wronged in this matter. Although the princess did not punish herself, she made it clear that she favored Mother Lin, a despicable and shameless old woman.

She knows how small-minded Mama Lin is. She is afraid that she will suffer in the future. Qiuyue can help her once, but she can't help her every time.And if you want to help her, why come out to be a good person in the end?

Feeling strange about the people in the room, Dongxue buried her head and dared not show her face, for fear that her expression would reveal her feelings.

Afterwards, Mrs. Gu pointed out something and asked Mother Lin to follow her into the inner room, while Dong Xue was left kneeling outside.

After entering the inner room, Mother Lin began to cry again, and said, "Thanks to the concubine being the master for this old slave, otherwise this old slave would not be able to clean himself up by jumping into the Yellow River today."

"Heh." Mrs. Gu said with a chuckle, "It's just the two of us here, mom doesn't need to pretend anymore."

Hearing that Mrs. Gu's tone was not kind, Mother Lin's heart fluttered and she hurriedly knelt down and said, "I dare not."

"Mom is getting more and more daring now, do you really think that this princess is sick and confused?" Mrs. Gu sat down and said without looking at Mama Lin, "Mom should know that I don't like people with big thoughts the least. "

Mama Lin was speechless, her face turned blue and purple.

Seeing that the threat was almost over, Mrs. Gu said in a soft tone: "I will help you today because you have served me with all your heart for so many years. If there is another time, I will not be able to protect you."

"My concubine favors you, this old slave will definitely serve you well, and I will never dare to have second thoughts." Mother Lin promised quickly.

If this is the case, Gu Shi naturally doesn't believe it, but she still looks emotional: "It's rare that mother has such a heart." Sighing lightly, she continued, "It would be great if Qiuyue is half as understanding as mother."

Mother Lin asked suspiciously, "What happened to Qiuyue?"

"I wanted to find a good marriage for her, but this girl refused to agree to anything, and even said that she would rather shave her head and become a sister-in-law." Frowning, Gu said, "Listen, you can say everything."

"Qiuyue is really a lucky person who doesn't know how to be blessed. Such a good thing can't even be expected, but she doesn't know how to cherish it." Mother Lin said for Gu's injustice.
