The most difficult female boss in history

Chapter 18
Mrs. Xu looked at Xiao Mingzhu with a lot of thoughts.

She was angry with Sister Ming because of Mrs. Lin, and was even strict with her in every possible way. While being ignored by her, Sister Ming not only did not resent her for not caring about her for so many years, but she earnestly completed all the courses she required. , even to the point of fainting from exhaustion, just wanting to please her and get close to her.

Thinking of these, her heart couldn't help but soften into a ball.But to be clear, the temperament developed over the years is not softened all at once.

Mrs. Xu resisted the urge to step forward and hug Xiao Mingzhu, but the expression on her face softened a lot, "Lie down and wait until the imperial doctor comes to take a look."

Although Xiao Mingzhu wanted to get close to her grandmother, she was still afraid of her. She couldn't help but put down her hands, drooped her little head, and lowered her head to listen to the instructions.

Seeing that the atmosphere in the room had cooled down again, Mammy Ru gently tugged on Mrs. Xu's sleeve, "Miss hasn't eaten anything these days, she must be hungry."

Shuxiang brought the stew pot forward with great eyesight.

Mrs. Xu glared at her, and pointed to the half of the soup on the table: "Then you have to take the medicine first."

Now, Xiao Mingzhu directly picked up the medicine bowl, raised her head and drank it all in one gulp.

Mrs. Xu was taken aback by her heroic actions, and wiped off the medicine stains from the corners of Xiao Mingzhu's mouth with a handkerchief, her expression calmed down a lot: "Go get some sweet-scented osmanthus candy."

Aunt Qiao hurriedly stopped: "The old lady can't force it. After taking the old fairy's medicine, you can't eat candy for a day."

Xiao Mingzhu also hastily explained: "No need, I've gotten used to it since childhood."

A trace of distress flashed in Mrs. Xu's eyes.How much medicine does it take to develop such a habit?Ever since Huai En ignored her obstruction and insisted on taking sister Ming away to Xin'an, she forced herself not to ask about sister Ming.Now that I think about it, Wynn is a man who is busy with military affairs every day, how much time he has to take care of sister Ming.Sister Ming's body is weak, I'm afraid she has suffered a lot in places where she can't see.

She gestured for Nanny Ru to pour a glass of white water, and fed it to Xiao Mingzhu's mouth with her own hands: "Drink some water, and suppress the smell of medicine in your mouth."

The scent of books came in with a tray, just like the mother had taken the stew pot in the past, and when she opened it, a faint smell of ginseng came out; "This is what the old lady specially ordered the kitchen to stew for the girl, hurry up while it's hot, and nourish your body. "

Smelling the fragrance, Xiao Mingzhu's stomach couldn't help but growl.

Mrs. Xu looked at her greedy face, and warned: "Be careful of burning."

Xiaohuan poked his head outside the door, and was watched by Shuxiang. Shuxiang walked out quickly, and said in a low voice: "You thief, do you have any rules? If you are watched by the old lady, you will definitely be punished."

Xiaohuan whispered: "Nurse Ming next to Mrs. Wang came with a heavy gift, and said she wanted to see the old lady and the young lady, and now she is waiting in the side hall."

Shuxiang didn't dare to be negligent, so she came in and reported to Mrs. Xu.

Mrs. Xu frowned.

Ever since the conflicts involving the forced surrender of the title and the subsequent division of the family, the relationship between the eldest house and the second family was cut off, and the family was separated under the auspices of the patriarch afterwards.These years, she has closed the mansion, and there is almost no contact between the two mansions.

Last time at Falin Temple, Mrs. Wang brought the girls over to greet her. She thought it was just a show outside. for?

She didn't want to see her at first, but she couldn't resist the doubt in her heart, and said, "Let me wait first."

"Grandmother..." Xiao Mingzhu guessed that the people from the Hou Mansion would never come here simply by running through the door.

"You just rest and you don't have to worry about other things." Mrs. Xu stood up and glanced at Xiao Mingzhu as a warning.

Xiao Mingzhu was stunned and continued to drink her chicken soup.

Xiaohuan came in to report again, and this time it was Doctor Jiang who came.

After Doctor Jiang carefully took Xiao Mingzhu's pulse, he said to Mrs. Xu, "There is nothing wrong with Mrs. Xiao's health. If Mrs. Xiao is worried, just rest for two more days."

"Mr. Jiang should leave a prescription for her to nurse back to health." Mrs. Xu was worried.

Physician Jiang said with some embarrassment: "Old madam, you are really in chaos. Miss Xiao has been using the old miracle doctor's prescriptions for health, how can the old doctor's prescriptions compare to the old miracle doctor's?"

Mrs. Xu also came to her senses, "Then there will be Doctor Lao Jiang."

After sending off Doctor Jiang, Mrs. Xu gave Xiao Mingzhu a few more instructions, and Mrs. Xu went to the side hall to meet the people from the waiting mansion without haste.

After a while, Xiao Mingzhu heard a big commotion in the side hall.

"Auntie." Xiao Mingzhu called, looking at Aunt Qiao eagerly.

Aunt Qiao understood her thoughts best, but how could she let her out at this time.She winked at Zhichun, sat on the edge of the bed by herself, took out something from her arms and handed it to Xiao Mingzhu, and asked in a low voice: "Girl, since there is no one else in the room, please tell me first." , Where did this thing come from?"

After the Fifth Prince made such a fuss in the guest courtyard, Aunt Qiao counted all of Xiao Mingzhu's belongings, not too many, but not too many.When she found that Xiao Mingzhu was unconscious, but she was holding such an amber bead tightly in her hand, she felt that this amber bead must be very important to Xiao Mingzhu, so she quietly hid it.

Xiao Mingzhu looked at the amber bead, and in desperation, she snatched it away and hid it behind her back: "It's mine." After saying that, she wanted to bite off her tongue.

Aunt Qiao took care of her life. Aunt Qiao knew better than herself what jewelry, toys, and small things she had.Let alone such a strange amber bead, even if there are many needles, I am afraid that Aunt Qiao will know about it.

But I can't tell my aunt the origin of this bead. Besides, there is a living duck trapped in the bead. Anyone who looks at it will think it is a duck spirit, so it must be scared to death.

Uh... my aunt doesn't look like someone who is frightened.

Xiao Mingzhu turned around and looked at the beads without Aunt Qiao's back. The beads in front of her eyes were different from the previous ones.The beads are not pure and transparent amber, but densely wrapped with gold threads, and the little duck transformed by 008 is no longer inside.But she could feel that 008's body was in the middle of the bead.

"Is this important?" Aunt Qiao asked.

Xiao Mingzhu nodded seriously and unkindly dragged the old Taoist priest out as a shield: "Yes, the old Taoist priest hid it in Fenglin. He told me to come and get it, saying it can ward off evil spirits and ensure safety. In the forest When I took this thing, I was almost discovered by Xiao Qingshuang and the others. Later, when Xiao Qinghe came, the unfortunate thing happened, and I forgot to mention it. "

"Oh, it's something from the old fairy." Aunt Qiao didn't continue to ask, but suggested: "Then let Zhichun make a net, put some beads on it, and make the girl stop walking?"

"Okay." Xiao Mingzhu agreed. It was better for her to carry dangerous objects like System 008 with her.
