Chapter 23

Mrs. Wang smiled lightly: "Although that girl is said to be close to Seventh Sister's, she is also someone from Xin'an who has stayed in a remote village for a long time. How can she understand the rules of the people in the capital. The girl I replaced with Seventh Sister is all Entering the mansion at the age of five or six, taught by the nanny in the mansion for three to five years, the rules and conduct are not bad at all, my aunt sends the old nanny to train a little bit, and Seventh Sister will definitely make it go her way."

Mrs. Wang's tears fell again: "Auntie, if there is really no other way, I wouldn't make such a bad plan. Our two houses are from the same line, and it is our own business to close the door, so we don't need to care about those things. It's a rule, you can't just let Fifth Sister be ruined like this. If Auntie thinks it's too few, how about I add two more girls?"

Mrs. Xu was half-deadly angry by her words, and sneered twice: "It's our fault if you dare."

"Don't dare." Mrs. Wang lowered her head, "I just ask my aunt to help me."

Xiao Mingzhu said before Mrs. Xu got angry: "Auntie, the waiting mansion can't afford to hire a cook who knows how to cook medicine."

Mrs. Wang looked at Xiao Mingzhu in surprise. When she saw Xiao Mingzhu that day in the guest house of Falin Temple, she always thought that Xiao Mingzhu was a shy, inferior, timid girl who had never seen the world.She never expected that Xiao Mingzhu's words could be so sharp that she couldn't get off the stage.

She was irritated by Xiao Mingzhu's words, and considering that she still had to ask the general's mansion, she could only suppress her anger and said: "Your girl has been taught by the old genius doctor, so my aunt wants her to go and teach her." As the cook of the mansion, Seventh Sister would not even be reluctant to use my aunt as a messenger."

"What?" Xiao Mingzhu looked surprised: "Where did the aunt come from to hear the rumors? How many people begged for the old genius doctor to give advice, but the old genius doctor was unmoved. How could he condescend to give advice?" A girl?"

When Madam Wang heard this, if she didn't understand what Xiao Mingzhu meant, she would have been in vain all these years.

She gouged out Xiao Mingzhu's eyes with resentment, and said: "Sister Ming, my aunt doesn't play tricks with you. Your body has recovered so well these years, and it must be all due to the old genius doctor's conditioning. My aunt also knows, The prescription of the old genius doctor cannot be passed on to the outside world, so I just thought of using your girl to get the medicine and boil the medicine, so that the prescription will not be passed on to the outside world, and I can also take care of your fifth sister. Can't?"

Xiao Mingzhu smiled and shook her head: "Of course not."

Mrs. Wang didn't expect Xiao Mingzhu to refuse so clearly and directly, leaving no room for maneuver at all, she was stunned for a while, not knowing how to deal with it.

Mrs. Xu also glared at Xiao Mingzhu bitterly. How could she say such a thing? She tried to give people an excuse.

After Mrs. Wang regained her composure, she ignored Xiao Mingzhu and asked Mrs. Xu directly: "Auntie, do you think this is appropriate?"

"Then do you really think it's appropriate to ask someone from my house to take care of Fifth Sister?" Mrs. Xu asked back: "It's all right if Fifth Sister's body recovers, and if Fifth Sister has something good or bad, when the time comes Even if my general’s mansion is full of mouths, I still can’t speak clearly.”

After the words were said to this point, Mrs. Wang realized that there was really no room for maneuver.

Mrs. Wang's face sank, and her pleading expression turned into a stern voice: "May I ask Auntie, where was Seventh Sister when Fifth Sister was attacked in the Red Maple Forest three days ago?"

"Ms. Wang!" Mrs. Xu was also angry: "You are an elder, so you want to pour dirty water on your niece with red lips and white teeth?"

"My niece-in-law doesn't dare. She just wants to understand." Mrs. Wang refused to give in.

Xiao Mingzhu's face was serious, and she also glared at each other angrily: "Auntie means that the reason why Fifth Sister went to Hongfenglin is because I invited you?" It was said that it was the Red Maple Forest, but Jingsi Lake was not mentioned.

She saw the expression on Mrs. Wang's face, and continued to say: "Then I want to ask my aunt, which of the servants around me has been to the guest house where my aunt lives temporarily, or is it me who is next to the fifth sister?" But, pass the news for me and Fifth Sister? Why did Fifth Sister go to Hongfenglin without any servants? Hongfenglin is not the back garden of the Houfu, but there are many talented people who linger there .”

Xiao Mingzhu also wanted to say, but Aunt Qiao tugged her sleeve lightly, and said slowly: "I'm afraid Madam Hou has misunderstood. The old lady was inviting Mrs. Lu to be a guest at the guest house that day, and the girl was waiting on her side. How could she be free?" Go out and meet Fifth Girl."

Aunt Qiao's words gave Mrs. Wang a blow in the head.

She really didn't have any evidence to prove that Xiao Mingzhu was related to Fifth Sister's falling into the water, but she learned from the girl next to Fifth Sister that Fifth Sister had been asking about Seventh Sister the night before yesterday, so she I have a doubt in my heart.Just now she was dizzy with anger, thinking that this was originally something you had no proof, I had no proof, and she couldn't explain it clearly.Unexpectedly, Aunt Qiao would bring out Mrs. Lu as a witness.In this way, no one outside would believe her if she just said something against the sky.

Mrs. Xu looked at Mrs. Wang's furious and speechless expression, and looked at Xiao Mingzhu twice more, feeling that her granddaughter was as stubborn as her.In the past, he must have taken into account that she was a grandmother and wanted to please her, so he had to subdue his own temperament and act that well-behaved and docile manner.

She reached out for tea, took a sip, and said slowly: "I think you are also concerned about the fifth sister's illness, and you talk nonsense when you are in a mess, so I don't care about it with you. After all, you are borrowing the girl's matter." It's still not right. Why don't you find some good doctors for Fifth Sister to have a look, if you don't have enough money, just talk, the old woman can still pay for a few dozen taels."

Mrs. Wang looked at Mrs. Xu's look of giving alms, if she didn't know that she was a junior and was still in the general's mansion, she would have almost thrown the handkerchief in her hand.

She got up stiffly, and bowed her body: "The niece and daughter-in-law thanked my aunt first."

Mrs. Xu served the tea and nodded: "Go slowly."

Mrs. Wang left almost as if fleeing.

Xiao Mingzhu covered her belly and laughed out loud, Mrs. Xu cast her cold eyes over her, "You can't be so straightforward when you talk about it later."

Xiao Mingzhu shuddered, and lowered her eyebrows pleasingly: "Mingzhu wrote it down."

Mrs. Xu caressed Xiao Mingzhu's hair, "This time she was the one who slandered you first, Mrs. Wang will definitely not give up if she can't get the prescription, I'm afraid she will go to the clan to invite someone to do it." Lobbyists. People in the clan are no better than people in the Houfu, if you dare to speak like this, you will definitely be disrespected to your elders."

If Mrs. Wang hadn't been provoked by Sister Ming's few words just now, she lost her sense of proportion and forced her to utter vicious words, but just blindly begged, then she might really be forced into a dilemma by Mrs. Wang's shameless words .

Wu's vision is a bit lower, the daughter-in-law she picked is not very good, and most people in the capital don't look down on Houfu's taking advantage of the fire, and some families with background are unwilling to marry Houfu.The third daughter-in-law is transparent, but she is a concubine's daughter-in-law, so she can't speak in the Hou's mansion.
