Chapter 418 The Golden Branch Will Not Come Down 8

Lan Shuying finished the meal seriously, she wiped the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief, and then looked at Yueping who was standing beside her.

The latter was aware of her gaze, his eyes flickered, and he floated nervously to the ground, and the hem of his cotton skirt trembled slightly.

"You envy me, fear me, and pity me..." Lan Shuying's voice sounded faintly. This was not empty talk, but a summary of Guo Yizhen's memories of Yueping and what she saw with her own eyes. of.

Yueping's expression changed drastically, she threw herself to the ground with a thud, and repeatedly argued that she didn't dare to think that way.

She thinks her heart is like a mirror, and with Guo's arrogance, the first two points may be laughed off, but the last one - she is a poor servant, what right does she have to pity the master Guo?

Just worry about yourself first!

"Get up and talk." A woman's voice floated from above her head.

Yueping stood up restlessly, but still didn't dare to meet her eyes. This pitiful appearance looked like a quail that was drenched in the rain, very depressed.

"I saw that your complexion was not good before. Is it because Mrs. Xiang has arranged too much work for you recently?"

It was clearly a concerned tone, but Yueping was so frightened that she quickly shook her head.

Lan Shuying said nonchalantly, "That's your own problem."

This... Yueping felt even more bitter when she heard the words, Madam, must she be operated on today?Could it be...

Countless thoughts swirled in her mind, and finally she bowed down respectfully, lowered her eyebrows, and agreed to the words: "It's the slave's fault, and it has nothing to do with others."

Lan Shuying stared at this young girl who was only [-] years old. After more than ten seconds, she suddenly laughed softly.

This girl has never been stupid, and it is precisely because she is not stupid that this reaction makes her even more unhappy.

Because Yueping was clearly prepared to be kicked out of the Zhou Mansion.

Earlier, Lan Shuying deliberately mentioned Sister-in-law Xiang as a test, but Yueping's answer directly picked out Sister-in-law Xiang, even if it might be "Guo Yizhen" deliberately looking for trouble, she also took it all in.It means... In the heart of this little girl, Sister-in-law Xiang's ability is greater than that of Guo Yizhen.

If she really drove Yueping away and reported today's incident to Mrs. Xiang, she might give Yueping more severance pay.

Where does Mrs. Xiang take care of the money?Naturally, Zhou's mother approved it.

Where did Zhou's mother get her money from?Of course...it was dug out of Guo Yizhen's hands by using various excuses.

"Yueping, how long have you been here?"

Yueping replied hesitantly: "I came here in February, and today, exactly eleven months have passed..."

"Then you should be clear that I have never had a personal maid, do you know why?"

"I...don't know." Yueping's forehead began to seep sweat.

Lan Shuying had no expression on her face, her knuckles were clasped short, and she clicked and clicked very rhythmically, as if hitting her heart.

"Before I left home, there was one. I grew up with her and treated her well, until one day, she stole my things." Lan Shuying paused, her voice deep, "At that point The trinkets are worth nothing, but she accidentally knocked over the candle and burned my mother's portrait, the only one, and that is one of the great regrets of my life."

Beads of sweat flowed down and condensed on the chin, and Yueping's palms were hidden under the long sleeves, curling up even tighter.

"Today I found out the second person who stole my stuff, who do you think it would be?"

The beauty had sharp eyebrows and eyes. She sat sideways on the side of the bed, leaned over and lifted Yueping's chin with an index finger, forcing her to look at her.

After only looking at each other for a few seconds, Yueping couldn't hold it anymore, and tremblingly took out a magnolia flower hairpin from the interlayer of her clothes, her face was ashen.

Lan Shuying glanced at the hairpin, and said three words lightly: "I reward you."

Yueping was stunned, thinking that she had heard it wrong.

Lan Shuying withdrew her hand, and said impatiently: "Don't understand, what belongs to me can't be stolen, as for how to deal with it, that's my business! I won't take you to the official, from today on, you follow Me, double the monthly payment, I will let Master Zou teach you how to practice martial arts, there is only one request..."

Photographed by her imposing manner, Yueping listened in a daze.

She said: "As long as you are in this yard, no one is allowed to enter my room, no one is allowed."

This anyone, of course, also includes Zhou's mother and son.

She was really tired of that old woman taking advantage of the danger to come and search the house. When she had time in a few days, she would have to go get back those lost things, and don't even try to run away.

Things don't matter, don't lose face at all.

As for Yueping, this little girl actually witnessed Zhou's mother's robbery by accident. Lan Shuying was watching in the sea of ​​consciousness at that time, and saw her hesitate all afternoon before walking in, and took away the most worthless piece of Guo Yizhen's many jewelry. A silver pole flower hairpin.

"Can it be done?"

Seeing her still wandering, Lan Shuying added: "If you don't want to, then..."

Before she could say the word "Jianguan", Yueping already burst into tears, knelt down and kowtowed in gratitude.

Promoting this girl from the maid in the inner courtyard to a personal maid, she still held the handle of Yueping stealing the owner's property. In Yueping's heart, it was obvious that she was more afraid of her than respected. Lan Shuying slowed down her tone and asked again. Qi Yueping has not had any difficulties recently.

She remembered that there was no male in Yueping's family, and she lived with her grandmother and mother, both of whom were not in good health.

Guo Yizhen got too many memories, maybe she couldn't remember them clearly. The reason why Yueping was willing to stand up for the crime of witchcraft was because she was a girl who knew how to be kind.

After Guo Yizhen became the county lord, her salary soared, and she was in high spirits. One day, she found a jade pendant of average quality and felt that it didn't suit her, so she casually gave it to Yueping who was passing by.At that time, someone in Yueping's family was seriously ill, and when she was most short of money, she quietly pawned Yu to relieve her urgent need.

But in Guo Yizhen's dream, if she herself is not going well, how can she care about a little girl?

Without rewarding jade, Yueping could only watch her family members die of illness. She would not hate Guo Yizhen who didn't know about it. Of course, it would be impossible to take the blame for her.

There is a reason for every drink and peck.

……

When Yueping cried and told about the situation at home, Lan Shuying already knew it in her heart, asked her grandma's illness, and gave her a prescription casually.

They are all cheap medicinal materials, and she can definitely afford them with her monthly payment. Lan Shuying didn't mention asking her to pay the monthly payment in advance. If she treats her too kindly all of a sudden, it will make the girl suspicious.

"I learned medical skills when I was at home. I don't dare to say much. Changxiu County should not be better than me. If you are worried, just take it to the medical clinic and ask." Ping is familiar with arrogance.

Yueping was not very literate, so she hid the note that was half of symbols and typos in her chest, and suddenly said: "Madam, I saw the master handing a prescription to the steward Xiang a few days ago, and he also told the steward Xiang to be careful. Just now Madam drove them out before dinner, and they went to the garden to discuss things."

Lan Shuying nodded, without any surprise, indicating that she could go out and do her own business.Yueping still wanted to say something, but looked at her with worried eyes.

Sister-in-law Xiang is a relative of the Zhou family, and she colluded with Zhou Kuang to drug Guo Yizhen, which makes sense.The bowl of medicine should have been appraised by now, it depends on which one Zhou Kuang plans to push out for the dead ghost.

"Toffee, look at what Zhou Kuang and Mrs. Xiang are doing."

Toffee has not yet returned to its peak. After it came, it has been absorbing the power of rules to fill itself, and the monitoring function is slightly affected. For the time being, it can only watch the picture within a radius of ten miles, which is enough for the current situation.

In the picture, Mrs. Xiang was in a daze in the garden, while Zhou Kuang was walking towards the backyard with two burly women. His eyes lit up, and he pointed at Yueping in the corridor and shouted. Tied up Yueping.

Lan Shuying raised her eyebrows.

That's right, she just took Yueping in as her personal maid, so she's being beaten as a scapegoat?

She rolled over and got out of bed. She was a little uncomfortable after not moving for a few days. When she walked to the gate of the courtyard, she could see Yueping struggling from this angle, and she was about to be dragged out a few meters away.

"stop!"

Seeing that it was her, Zhou Kuang was startled, put on a self-consciously handsome smile, and pretended to come over to help her: "Why did the lady come out, but it made you rest because of the noise? It's windy outside, I'm helping you back to your room for my husband's sake." .”

Lan Shuying avoided his hand and said coldly, "What did Yueping do wrong, why did she tie her up?"

Zhou Kuang really pushed the matter of the bowl of sterilization pills on Yueping's head, and he said it vividly.

Lan Shuying deliberately looked suspicious: "How do you know so clearly?"

When Zhou Kuang replied, his expression remained unchanged, "Someone came from Shengping Street and told me specifically. Several doctors there said that it was a sterilization drug, which was very vicious. Fortunately, my lady, you didn't drink it! For your husband Hearing this, I was really annoyed, after a thorough investigation in the mansion, I found that the culprit was right in front of me!"

He pointed at Yueping, who was gagged by a cloth scarf, and under the restraint of the two wives, Yueping shook her head desperately.

"Let go of her, she was wronged." Lan Shuying looked at the two women first, but they didn't respond at all, she sneered in her heart, and simply pulled the piece of cloth out of Yueping's mouth.

"Ma'am, Yueping didn't take any medicine! The medicine is..."

Lan Shuying gave her a sideways glance, and Yueping hurriedly swallowed the rest of her words.

It took Zhou Kuang a lot of work to find a scapegoat with such qualifications, how could he let him go so easily, but before he could speak, a maid suddenly came over and said that Mrs. Du is here.

Mrs. Du?who?

Zhou Kuang was confused, still wondering which of the people he knew was Du, but Lan Shuying had already thought of the courtesan of Mingyue Tower, quietly asked Toffee to take a look, and the beautiful woman in plain clothes waiting in the front hall was indeed she.

How could she come, did she come here specifically to catch up with Yiyi?Lan Shuying's impression suddenly deteriorated by half.

The servant girl also said that Mrs. Du came here specially to find her.

"Yueping, come in and help me change."

After washing and washing, Lan Shuying changed into clothes that could meet guests. Taking advantage of Guo Yizhen's good background, Lan Shuying didn't put on makeup, but only moistened her lips with lip balm. She had a pale face with a slanted bun Insert a gold hairpin inlaid with beads, which makes her look slightly sicker and more graceful.

After seeing Mrs. Du, Lan Shuying keenly saw the probing eyes of the other party, and there was a trace of sympathy that was too late to put away.

Sympathy again.

She shook her head secretly.

In the early years, Mrs. Du was greeted and sent off in Mingyue Tower. Because she was a pure official, she was more demanding of eloquence and knowledge than those prostitutes. As soon as County Magistrate Du got rich, he went to redeem her immediately.

It stands to reason that this should be a well-rounded character, but when getting along, Lan Shuying found that the other party has a bright and straightforward temperament.

It seems that in Guo Yizhen's original fate, the reason why this lady is always silent is probably just because she doesn't talk to Guo Yizhen.

She came all this way because of that bowl of sterilization medicine.

"Mrs. Lao is thinking about it. I am really grateful. I do have a few doubters in my mind, but... I don't dare to say it."

Mrs. Du watched her expression, feeling more and more pitiful.

She is also a woman, and after thinking about it for a while, she understood Guo's situation. The Zhou family married in is not the wife of the main house. They clearly regarded her as a cash cow, and even the housekeeping power was taken away. How could Guo have anything at home? Have a good time?

Madam Du did not directly ask who she suspected, but told a story.

The protagonist of the story is a prostitute.

When she was young, she was excellent in both sex and art, and was famous all over Xiaojiang. She was a bright moon in the eyes of many men.

……

When Lan Shuying heard this, she thought Mrs. Du was talking about herself.

"Later, when she got old, she was redeemed by a businessman and became the main wife."

merchant?That's not her story.

Madam Du's tone became more and more low, her face was covered with darkness.

"But the businessman doesn't love her, he only loves her money. She didn't know that the businessman's business was dead until she married in. Just because he was considerate to her, she foolishly took out her savings to help him. The more he treated her It's getting worse and worse, she thought it was because he was too tired, so she looked for connections everywhere, hoping to help him."

The ending of the story must be tragic.

Lan Shuying had a clear understanding in her heart.

"...His business has gradually improved, and he has become more pleasant to her. The woman has gradually emptied her savings. Maybe she has seen something herself. She wants to give him a child to win back his heart."

child……? !

Lan Shuying suddenly looked directly into Madam Du's eyes, and she nodded her head, like a butterfly falling to a low place after being unable to stand on the edge of a flower leaf.

"She couldn't get pregnant anyway. But she used to be a Qing girl, and she has always taken care of herself well, and she hasn't hurt her body. How could this be? She finally began to suspect the person next to her pillow, and asked a famous doctor from other places for treatment. Only then did she know that she married Afterwards, the bowl of body-reinforcing soup she drank every month was actually a contraceptive soup, and after taking it for three years, she would never be able to conceive in her life."

"Do you know what the merchant's explanation is?"

Lan Shuying shook her head.

Madam Du said sadly: "He didn't explain, because she was useless. He designed her to lie in the same room with his servant, and he justifiably abandoned her."

She wiped away her tears, and finally said: "She was my teacher and my stepmother. She taught me talents, sent me out of the building, and not long after drinking my wedding wine, she hanged herself."
