Chapter 200 I'm obedient
"Mom, I want to get a basin of water to wash her face." Niu Niu said in a low voice.
Zhang Yunniang couldn't really let the little girl fetch water by herself, so she turned around and glanced at Madam Qi behind her.
Madam Qi was the woman in charge of serving Zhang Yuniang among the family of three. She was efficient and quickly brought over a basin of warm water.
Niu Niu stopped Madam Qi from helping. She picked up the wet towel, wrung it dry, and was about to walk over to the crazy girl.
"My dear, let me come."
Zhang Yuniang wanted to take the handkerchief, but she was still worried that the crazy girl would suddenly explode.
Niuniu shook her head and said, "Mom, it's okay."
Seeing that her daughter insisted, Zhang Yunniang glanced at the crazy girl who was staring at her daughter, but she did not stop her. She just followed her daughter closely and protected her carefully.
Niu Niu asked the crazy girl to get up.
The crazy girl listened to Niu Niu's words very much. She struggled to get up from the ground and then sat down on a low stool beside her.
Niu Niu gently brushed away the messy hair covering the crazy girl's face, and slowly wiped the dirt on her face with a handkerchief.
The crazy girls didn't move at all, they just stared at Niu Niu, as if they were looking at some lost treasure that was found again.
Niu Niu wiped her dark little face clean, revealing the fair and pretty face underneath.
"Sister, it looks much better this way." Niu Niu said.
"Shuying, my name is Shuying. It's the name you gave me. You said reading makes people wise, and you hoped that I would read more... I studied hard..."
As the crazy girl said this, tears suddenly fell.
Zhang Yunniang became alert when she opened her mouth, but she didn't expect that after this person said a bunch of crazy things, he didn't do anything strange.
Niuniu tilted her head and said, "Have we known each other before? Sister Shuying?"
Shuying cried even harder and said, "You don't remember me..."
When Niu Niu looked at her like this, she didn't know why, but she felt as if she was pricked by a needle in her heart, and a sharp pain arose.
"I want to talk to you alone, is that okay?" Shuying asked Niu Niu.
Niu Niu nodded.
Zhang Yunniang was not happy about it. She thought that the crazy girl only looked normal now. Who knew if she would go crazy suddenly? How could she dare to let her daughter stay alone with a lunatic?
Niu Niu looked at her with a pleading look on her face.
Zhang Yunniang had no idea what to do, so she asked Madam Qi and Nanny Wang to leave, and she stayed to accompany her daughter.
"Everyone get out, everyone get out." the crazy girl urged.
Niuniu, who used to be responsive to her requests, put on a straight face this time and said, "This is my mother. I have nothing to hide from her."
Shuying had a conflicted look on her face. She looked at Zhang Yuniang again and again before she stopped making a fuss about the matter.
"Sister Shuying, do you have anything to tell me?" Niu Niu asked softly.
Shuying suddenly knelt down from the small stool and kowtowed three times and nine times to Niuniu.
Her etiquette was extremely standard, as if she had practiced it countless times.
"Your Majesty, I knew you would save me. I didn't even dare to recognize you outside. Your Majesty, I can endure the hardship, but I cannot let the bad guys find you..." Shuying said incoherently.
Niu Niu looked confused.
Zhang Yunniang wished she could cover the crazy girl's mouth.
"Shut up, what queen? How can you say such things casually?" Zhang Yunniang scolded in a low voice.
Shuying replied with pride: "What queen? Of course it's the Queen!"
When Zhang Yunniang heard this, she felt a throbbing sensation in her temples, and for a moment she felt as if all her nine clansmen were flying all over the sky.
"This matter involves a noble person. If you continue to talk nonsense, you will not be allowed to stay in my family." Zhang Yuniang said with a sullen face.
Shuying was still in a state of panic, and said to Zhang Yunniang, "Madam Jiu, why are you still angry? The queen is the glory of the family, how can you say such a thing?"
When Shuying said this, her eyes were clear and pure. Zhang Yunniang just felt tired. How could she understand what she was saying to a madman?
Niuniu suddenly said, "Don't talk back to my mother."
Shuying immediately behaved well and apologized to Zhang Yuniang: "Madam Jiu, it's my fault, please don't be angry."
Zhang Yuniang: ...
"I'm not the Ninth Madam." Zhang Yunniang said.
Shuying said aggrievedly: "Mrs. Jiu is Mrs. Jiu."
Zhang Yunniang had no idea who this crazy girl thought she was. How come she was the ninth child in the family? This family must be very wealthy.
Niuniu said from the side: "If my mother says she is not, then she is not. You have to listen to my mother."
Shuying immediately said, "Shuying, be obedient. Your Majesty, please don't be angry with Shuying."
Zhang Yunniang immediately saw the opportunity and said, "You should call her Miss Niuniu, not Niangniang."
Shuying looked hesitant.
Niuniu immediately said, "You promised me that you would listen to my mother."
Shuying immediately changed her words: "Madam, Miss."
Zhang Yunniang breathed a sigh of relief. She thought about it and decided to follow the madman's line of thought: "You knew before that you couldn't reveal your identity outside. You were so cautious. Why are you not cautious now? Aren't you afraid that there are ears on the other side of the wall?"
When Shuying heard this, her face turned pale and she said, "I was wrong, I was wrong...I shouldn't have exposed the queen...I deserve to die..."
She even stretched out her hand and couldn't help slapping her face, which turned red in a moment.
Zhang Yunniang didn't expect her reaction to be so strong. She reached out to stop her, but she couldn't do it at all.
However, this kind of crazy girl only hits herself when she goes crazy. Zhang Yunniang suddenly felt that this crazy girl was not that dangerous.
"Stop it, don't hit yourself!" Niu Niu said with a fierce face.
The person that Zhang Yunniang couldn't stop before, stopped immediately after hearing Niuniu's words, and then looked at Niuniu pitifully, like a puppy afraid of being abandoned by its owner: "Niangniang...Miss, I called you Miss, please don't be angry, I beg you."
Niuniu touched her hair and said, "You can't hit yourself or others casually. If you do something wrong, just admit it. Don't punish yourself in this way, okay?"
Shuying nodded obediently: "Okay, I'll listen to you, just don't ignore me."
Even though Zhang Yunniang knew that this was a lunatic, she couldn't help feeling sad when she saw Shuying's humble appearance.
Niuniu added, "We don't keep idle people in our family. You can't just sit there and do nothing. You have to help with the work, okay?"
Shuying's eyes kept following Niuniu. She nodded vigorously and said, "I know. I can do a lot of things. I can make soap and delicious food for you. I want to stay by your side and serve you forever."
Niuniu imitated the adults and said, "It's good that you are sensible. You have to behave well and don't make trouble. Do you understand?"
"I will listen to you. I am the most obedient one." Shuying said.
Seeing that she was well-behaved, Niuniu turned to look at Zhang Yuniang and asked, "Mom, can she follow me?"
Shuying also turned around and looked at Zhang Yuniang expectantly.
