The general's wife is pretending to be weak again

Chapter 446

"Go in and see Madam later, you all should be smart. This General's Mansion is the best place to go. If anyone is chosen by the General's Madam, he will be prosperous." The prostitute led a group of young women and followed the General. The servants of the mansion went inside, not forgetting to turn around and give a few words of advice as they walked.

A courageous woman said timidly: "But I heard that the general is not easy to mess with, and he kills people without blinking an eye. If you enter the general's mansion and accidentally offend the general, will you..."

When the other people heard this, they all showed timidity when they thought of the rumors outside.

They wanted to be maids to make a living, and they didn't want to lose their lives for it.

"Don't talk nonsense!" The prostitute said angrily, and she stopped talking after a while.

After a while, under the leadership of the servants of the General's Mansion, the group finally arrived at their destination, which was a quiet courtyard.

The prostitute lined up these women, bowed her waist and smiled and asked the servants of the general's mansion, "Ours is ready. I wonder when Madam will come?"

"Madam came here naturally after finishing the work at hand."

The matchmaker didn't dare to ask any more questions, and the girls stood peacefully, not daring to complain no matter how long they waited.

It seemed that there was still the murderous aura left by Li Zhao in this house, which shocked those people not to dare to act presumptuously.

After waiting for a long time, someone finally came.

What came was a woman wearing a peach blossom gown, with an extraordinary bearing, surrounded by three or four servant girls.If she is said to be the general's wife, it seems that something is missing.

The prostitute greeted her attentively, and asked tentatively, "This is..."

Miao Xiang didn't even look at the matchmaker, she went directly to the ten women she brought and looked them up one by one.

The prostitute hurriedly said: "These are the best girls from my side. They come from innocent backgrounds, can read a few words, and have learned some manners. I guarantee that Madam will handle them smoothly."

"Then let's all stay here." Miao Xiang boldly said.

The prostitute was stunned for a moment, "The price of these girls is also higher, if you want all these..."

Miao Xiang glanced at her, and said disdainfully: "Is the General's Mansion still short of your money?"

The matchmaker was overjoyed, "Yes, yes, it's because I don't know Mount Tai."

"Take her to the cashier to get the money." Miao Xiang ordered.

The prostitute happily followed the servants of the general's mansion and left.

"If you are willing to stay, you can sign the contract of sale." Miao Xiang said a few words before leaving, leaving the matter here to others.

Back in Mu Qingyu's courtyard, she replied, "Ma'am, where will the ten new servant girls be arranged?"

"Let them do some rough work first." Mu Qingyu ordered.

"Yes." Only then did Miao Xiang notice that Mu Qingyu's and Mo Zhu's expressions were not very good-looking.

"Show Miao Xiang the prescription you got." Mu Qingyu ordered.

Mo Zhu then took out a prescription from his pocket and handed it to Miao Xiang, "Look, what does this prescription cure."

Miao Xiang took the prescription and looked at it seriously, and frowned as she watched.

"What? What kind of disease does this prescription cure?" Mo Zhu asked again, and seeing Miao Xiang's expression, this prescription must not be simple.

"Ma'am, I'm not sure about it, the medicines on it are definitely not for curing diseases. At that time, the mother-in-law left a medical book for the servant, and the servant went to look it up." Miao Xiang said.

Although she didn't know what the prescription was for, she was sure that it was definitely not a good prescription.

"Go." Mu Qingyu waved his hand, and Miao Xiang went out with the prescription.

Miaoxiang left on the front foot, and Wenwen ran in on the back foot.

"Madam," Wenwen saluted, "the people over there said that they would prepare another table of good food for Madam, and wanted to use the kitchen."

"Let them use it." Mu Qingyu said.

Wenwen went out with Mu Qingyu's permission.

Mu Qingyu and Mo Zhu waited for Miao Xiang to look through medical books and find the answer.During this period, Mo Zhu went to Miao Xiang's place several times, seeing Miao Xiang buried in her head in studying, she only glanced at the door, and did not go in to disturb Miao Xiang.

Waiting and waiting for Mu Qingyu to say hello, "There's no need to be so troublesome, you find an excuse to bring Aunt Li, and we'll ask in person."

"Yes, the servant will go here."

Mo Zhu went out and brought Aunt Li back after a while, before she could take off the apron around her waist.

Aunt Li took off her apron in embarrassment, "What can you do for me?"

Mu Qingyu asked bluntly: "I heard from my servant that my aunt went out to get medicine again. My maid took your pulse last time, and my aunt is in good health. Why did you go to get medicine again?"

The word "again" points out that the fact that Aunt Li quietly went to the medical clinic outside to get medicine has been discovered long ago.

Aunt Li tightly clenched her apron, lowered her head as if thinking about how to deal with it.

"I... I have a hidden disease..." Aunt Li spoke with difficulty, hoping that Mu Qingyu would not ask further questions after hearing this.

"Oh? What's the hidden disease? Auntie might as well tell me. I know many genius doctors who can help auntie think of a way." Mu Qingyu asked kindly.

"It's not a big deal, don't worry about it." Aunt Li's voice became softer and weaker.

Mu Qingyu changed the subject, "By the way, I heard that my aunt took good care of the general in the past, and my aunt should be a guest at the general's mansion. By the way, when the general comes back, I will ask the general, how did my aunt help you back then?" What's the matter?"

Xu Shi remembered the past, Aunt Li trembled greatly, all the blood on her face faded, her lips were still trembling, her eyes were even more erratic and she dared not look directly at Mu Qingyu.

Obviously hiding something bad.

The room was eerily silent.

It's almost summer, and Mu Qingyu thought it was stuffy, so he asked someone to open the windows wide.Even so, Aunt Li's forehead and lips were covered with a thick layer of sweat.

"It's okay if Auntie doesn't say anything," Mu Qingyu said with a bright smile on his lips, "It's the same if I ask the general. I'll have to thank Auntie well then."

Mu Qingyu's brisk tone became the last straw in Aunt Li's heart. She couldn't hold it anymore, and tears welled up in her eyes.

"I know I was wrong... It's been so long since what happened back then... I don't dare to do it anymore... I beg the general and madam to show you your hands and spare my life! I came here this time to personally say goodbye The general apologized..." Aunt Li almost cried.

Mu Qingyu became more and more curious, "What happened back then?"

"Brother Zhao and his parents left, and they handed over Brother Zhao and Sister Xian to me. I just walked away, and Sister Xian fell into the pond for some reason..." Aunt Li said I couldn't go on anymore, and was condemned by my conscience and burst into tears.

Mu Qingyu knew very well that what Aunt Li said must have been beautified a lot, and the truth must have been more tragic.

Li Zhao, who was young at the time, lost his parents and then his sister, how heartbroken he must have been.

Mu Qingyu felt distressed in her heart.
