Chapter 7
"Miss, what do you want to ask?"

Mu Qingyi pondered for a while, and asked, "I've been in a coma for the past two days, but has anyone come to see me?"

Zhu'er shook her head, and said softly: "No, Master Hou and the old lady only asked Sun... Auntie to invite a doctor to prescribe medicine for Miss. Miss, don't be sad..." Mu Qingyi shook her head lightly and smiled, and asked Said: "How many taels of silver do I have?"

Zhu'er shook the corners of her lips in embarrassment and said: "Miss has ten taels of regular silver every month, but we only have five taels left in our hands. I have saved some in the past two years. This time, miss is in a coma. Wake up, the doctor said that the young lady is weak and needs more supplements, and the servants will..." Looking at Zhu'er's distressed appearance, Mu Qingyi sighed in her heart, knowing that Zhu'er must have bought supplements for her cousin with those people in the mansion. .He raised his hand and patted her hand comfortingly: "Not at all?"

Zhu'er shook her head, hurried into the room, and after a while she came out with a somewhat old box and put it in front of Mu Qingyi, saying: "There are still some pieces of silver, about seven or eight taels in total. "

In the box, there were indeed some small silver coins and even copper plates.Zhu'er thought for a while, then took out some pieces of silver from her purse and said, "I still have three taels here." Mu Qingyi shook her head, then withdrew her hand and said, "It's not easy for you to save some taels by yourself. , put it away carefully. This..." Mu Qingyi's eyes flickered as her eyes fell on an unremarkable jade pendant in the box.This piece of jade is not particularly good, even the carving is average.Perhaps it was precisely because of this that the cousin was able to keep this jade pendant.

She still remembered that this jade pendant was a gift from herself.It was she who learned carving with her grandfather and had a little success, and divided a piece of jade into three pieces. She kept a moment of magnolia for herself, a moment of bamboo for her elder brother, and a moment of hibiscus for her cousin.

Holding the jade pendant in her palm, Mu Qingyi lowered her eyes to hide the sadness in her eyes.

"Miss Si, Manager Wang is here." Outside the door, the little girl reported.

Mu Qingyi raised her head and said calmly, "Let her in."

After a while, a rich middle-aged woman in her forties came in, "I have seen Miss Fourth." Mu Qingyi nodded and said, "Steward Wang, what's the matter?"

The steward Wang's maiden name is Zheng married to the mansion's second chief steward named Wang, and because he is in charge of the inner court's expenses and other matters, everyone in the mansion calls him Steward Wang.Wang Zhengshi accompanied her with a smile and said, "I would like to report to Miss Fourth, Madam said she wanted to change the courtyard for Miss Fourth, but this old servant has cleaned up the yard. Please choose a time to move there, Miss."

"Which yard?" Mu Qingyi asked.

Wang Zhengshi hesitated for a moment, then smiled and said, "It's Jiangxuexuan in the northwest."

Mu Qingyi lowered her eyes and asked, "Did you choose Auntie Sun?"

Mrs. Wang Zheng hesitated for a moment, and said with a smile: "This kind of trivial matter does not dare to disturb Madam, it was chosen by this old slave. Miss Si, this Jiang Xuexuan is a bit far away, but it is much better than the current courtyard, and it is full of this. The yard is twice as big. Miss Si will definitely like it." Although she laughed along with her, the somewhat condescending tone gave off the impression that the new yard is much better than the old one, and Miss Fourth should be content.

"Presumptuous!" Mu Qingyi slapped the table and said in a deep voice.

"Four...Miss Four?" Unexpectedly, Mu Qingyi would have a sudden attack, Wang Zhengshi couldn't help being stunned for a moment, but she quickly realized it.He frowned and said, "I don't know what Miss Fourth is dissatisfied with? The old slave has already reported to Madam, and Madam also said that Jiang Xuexuan is very good."

Mu Qingyi sneered and said, "It turned out that Aunt Sun agreed. If that's the case, I'll go to Aunt Sun and grandma and say it's all right. I'd like to ask, and give a dead aunt's yard to the girl in her boudoir." Girl live, what do you mean!"

Seeing Mu Qingyi trembling with anger, standing up and about to go out, Wang Zheng quickly said: "Miss Si! Miss Si... This Aunt Li has passed away for more than four years, and that yard has been empty. Si Miss, this is too much..." Wang Zhengshi didn't finish, but his eyes showed that Mu Qingyi was too unreasonable.

Mu Qingyi sneered, glanced at Wang Zhengshi lightly, and walked outside.

Obviously, Wang Zhengshi did not expect that the fourth young lady, who had always been cowardly and uncontested, would get angry whenever she said she was angry, and even make trouble with the old lady.Although the old lady has turned a blind eye to the suppression of the fourth lady in the mansion these years, it is also because the fourth lady herself has not expressed anything. Once the fourth lady really sues the old lady, the old lady will It's for the face of the Suchenghou Mansion, and they will definitely not favor them as servants.

She was only taken aback for a moment, but Mu Qingyi had already walked out of the flower hall.Wang Zhengshi came back to his senses, stomped his feet and hurriedly followed, "Oh, Miss Fourth... Don't be angry, Miss Fourth..."

Mu Qingyi looked back at her and smiled coldly, "What does Guanshi Wang want to say?"

Wang Zhengshi gritted her teeth, and still said: "Miss Si, about this matter... Madam has already told Lord Hou. Master Hou also said that Jiang Xuexuan is very good..." After hearing her words, Mu Qingyi's beautiful face It became more gloomy.This Wang Zhengshi is not trying to persuade her, but clearly threatening her.Back then, the Gu family had strict rules, and it was rare to see such servants who dared to bully the master, but that didn't mean she couldn't deal with such a slave.But today, she didn't plan to clean up her, what she wanted to clean up was her master.

No longer taking care of Wang Zhengshi, Mu Qingyi took Zhu'er to the De'an Courtyard of the old lady, and casually ordered the girl standing aside: "Go to the study and invite my father to the De'an Courtyard. Just say Qingyi Ask your father about something."

Seeing Mu Qingyi leave, Wang Zhengshi's expression turned ugly.She glared at the girl next to her and said, "Hurry up and report to Madam!" It was Madam's intention to arrange Miss Si in Jiang Xuexuan. In the morning, Madam was beaten in the face by Miss Si in the garden, so why not teach Miss Si a lesson? Didn't people underestimate Madam?She belongs to Madam, so naturally she will do whatever Madam says.It's just that she didn't expect that Miss Si, who woke up from a serious illness, would not be as easy to deal with as before.Just now when she confronted Miss Fourth, she couldn't help but think of her former wife when she was still alive.

Mu Qingyi didn't walk fast, when she went to the De'an Courtyard to ask to see the old lady, and after waiting for a while to see the old lady, Mrs. Sun and Mu Changming had already arrived.Mu Ling and Mu Chen came with them. Mu Chen smiled at Mu Qingyi friendly, but Mu Ling gave her a veiled look.

Mrs. Mu glanced at everyone, frowned and said, "What's going on today? Why are you all here?"

Mu Qingyi took a step forward and said, "To tell grandma, it was Qingyi who invited father over. Please punish grandma for disturbing grandma's rest."

Mrs. Mu looked at Mu Qingyi thoughtfully, and said with a smile: "My old lady is usually idle, what's the trouble? Your father is busy with work, if something happens, can't grandma decide for you? "The implication is that he is only a little dissatisfied with Mu Qingyi for disturbing Mu Changming with the matter in the backyard.
