The villain was shocked: his mother used a ghost to coax the child

Chapter 21 Zhu Nuan

Wen Qingliu agreed readily, and then the aunt and sister-in-law pushed the cart to the town.

Wen Qingliu had already pasted a heat-insulating talisman under the earthen jar, even though it was some distance from the village to the town.

However, the hot water in the earthenware jar is still sufficient to brew the lotus root starch.

Zhao Zhizhi was amazed by what she saw and sighed repeatedly.

"Wow, Sister-in-law, you are so amazing."

Wen Qingliu found her expression funny, so he took a wooden bowl from the bus, made a bowl of lotus root powder and handed it to her.

Zhao Zhizhi took two bites and made a smacking sound while eating. It was unknown what he was thinking about.

"Mm! Sister-in-law, your lotus root powder is so fragrant and sweet. It warms my stomach in this cold weather."

Hearing the voice, Wen Qingliu turned around and almost couldn't help laughing out loud.

"You are such a cunning girl."

Sure enough, a woman was attracted to her when she saw her like this.

"Girl, is this lotus root powder really that delicious?"

Zhao Zhizhi nodded repeatedly and said to the woman, "Of course it's real. This is the food that my sister-in-law has spent a lot of time researching and making."

The woman leaned in to smell it, and it had a faint sweet scent, but there was steam coming out of it, and it looked really warm.

"Girl, give me a bowl."

Wen Qingliu nodded and opened the jar of lotus root powder.

The white lotus root powder appeared in front of the woman. After she finished a bowl, she hesitated for a while before finally speaking.

"Miss, do you want to sell this dried lotus root powder? To be honest, I am a maid in the Zhu Mansion. The old lady has a poor appetite recently. I think she might like this lotus root powder."

Wen Qingliu nodded and asked Zhao Zhizhi to buy some oil paper.

While Zhao Zhizhi was buying oil paper, Wen Qingliu carefully looked at the face of the woman in front of him.

There was a hint of black energy between the eyebrows, but it seemed that this black energy had come from somewhere else.

If nothing unexpected happens, I think it is the old lady he mentioned.

"Miss, has your old lady suddenly lost her appetite and become weak? And sometimes she loses control of her temper and throws things randomly?"

When the woman heard this, there was some surprise on her face.

"That's right, how did you know?"

After serving in fear for so many days, I finally have a way to vent.

The woman continued to mutter, "Since you are a few years younger than me, I will call you sister."

"Sister, you don't know, the old lady has become more and more difficult to serve these past two days. You never know when she will lose her temper. None of the maids serving in the courtyard have gotten anything good."

"The doctor checked it out, but couldn't see anything wrong."

Wen Qingliu thought that this was not a disease, but resentment, so naturally he couldn't see anything.

"Don't worry, sister. I, Liu Qingqing, don't have any other abilities. I have a lucky charm in my hand. Keep it close to you."

The woman was silent for two seconds, then took it and put it into her sleeve.

"Sister, do you know something?"

The woman's tone was a little excited. She really couldn't stand the old lady. If it weren't for the fact that this job was not easy to come by.

She really wanted to use the money she had saved to buy back her indenture contract and walk away.

She was a living indenture, and as long as she had enough silver or the due date came, she could get out of her slavery by selling her body.

She signed a ten-year contract and entered the Zhu Mansion at the age of thirteen, starting as a cleaning maid.

Now, there is only half a year left in the ten years, and she is reluctant to spend a few more taels of silver to redeem herself.

But what she didn’t know was that if she hadn’t met Wen Qingliu today.

Then she won't live long.

Wen Qingliu said, "I set up a stall here every day. If the old lady goes crazy and hurts someone, the amulet can also save your life."

When the woman heard this, she clutched her sleeves even tighter.

Just then, Zhao Zhizhi came back with the oil paper, and Wen Qingliu packed a portion of lotus root powder, not much, and only charged twenty cents.

The woman took it and whispered to Wen Qingliu, "Sister, my name is Sun Ying. Thank you for your help today."

That day, just after noon, Wen Qingliu was preparing to take Zhao Zhizhi home.

Lotus root powder is a new food for me, and I only bought one and a half cans in a day.

Wen Qingliu was not discouraged. After all, it was the first day and she was already satisfied with the business.

The two had just packed their things and hadn't left yet.

Sun Ying came over.

"That's great, thank God, sister, you haven't left yet. I don't know what happened to the old lady, but she beat up all the maids around her."

Wen Qingliu had an I-knew-it expression on his face, and he took Zhao Zhizhi and pushed a cart to Cui's house.

"Zhizhi, just wait in the front yard. I'll be back soon."

Zhao Zhizhi nodded and said, "Don't worry, sister-in-law, I'll just sit here and not go anywhere."

Wen Qingliu nodded and followed Sun Ying into the backyard.

From a long distance away, a sharp voice could be heard.

As we got closer, the scene in front of us became clearer.

A figure was clinging to the table in the yard, with messy hair, and three maids were beside him trying to stop him.

Wen Qingliu raised his hand and counted. Wow, this old lady is really sinful.

I just don't know if the person in charge is willing to spare her life.

Even if she was willing, the old lady would survive, but she would have to spend the rest of her life worshipping Buddha and eating vegetarian meals to atone for her sins.

Wen Qingliu was not polite either. He rummaged in his sleeves and threw a talisman over.

The old lady, who had been making a lot of noise, immediately calmed down.

His eyes rolled around and finally he fainted.

Wen Qingliu sighed and said, "It's his own fault.

"Sister Sun, please find a way to find your eldest daughter. Do it secretly and don't alarm Patriarch Cui."

Sun Ying nodded and turned away.

When the old lady was hurting someone just now, she casually picked up a knife and stabbed at these maids.

She subconsciously blocked her body just as the knife was about to fall on her.

I don't know what happened to the knife, it just flew out!

Only then did she realize that these were the girl who sold lotus root powder today.

If it weren't for her amulet, the knife would have hit her hard.

After Sun Ying left, Wen Qingliu did not delay and dismissed the three maids.

After this incident, the maids in the courtyard had already fled in all directions. These three maids had been following Old Madam Zhu when they were young.

Old Madam Zhu was usually quite nice to them, so that's why they stayed to look after her.

One of the maids in green clothes stood out with a suspicious look on her face.

"Who are you? How dare you hurt our old lady?"

Wen Qingliu looked over and laughed.

"Your old lady is already like this, do you think you can end up well?"

The nanny was a little shocked to hear this, as she was Madam Zhu's first nanny.

She has been serving Madam Zhu since she was a girl at home.

The two were as close as sisters. Although she was a slave, Madam Zhu never treated her badly.

Therefore, she also helped a lot with the old lady's work.

Wen Qingliu didn't bother to pay attention to her, pushed her away and walked into the house.

Old Madam Zhu had regained consciousness and was sitting on the couch with a confused look on her face.

When she saw Wen Qingliu, she had no idea what was going on.
