Chapter 558: Warming the Wine: Where’s My Knife?
Shanzha nudged Liusu with his arm, and Liusu nudged Shanzha again. The two of them pushed each other, and neither of them wanted to speak first.
Wen Jiu didn't even look at them. He immediately turned his attention to Nanny Song and said, "Nanny, go ahead."
Nanny Song hesitated for a moment, then advised, "Concubine, actually, it's not a serious matter. It's just... it's just our speculation. The prince may not be such a person..." She herself didn't have the confidence to say this.
Upon hearing this, Shanzha frowned. "How can this be speculation? When the prince came back two days ago, a sachet fell off his body. It's obviously a girl's thing!"
Wen Jiu raised an eyebrow: "...Huh? Seriously?"
"Of course it's true!" As Shanzha spoke, he rummaged through his arms and pulled for a long time before taking out the sachet from the deepest part of his sleeve.
"Look, there it is!"
Wen Jiu was silent for a moment: "...Why are you still keeping the sachet you found close to your body?"
Shanzha gritted his teeth: "I have been waiting to find this vixen! I thought she was the one serving here, but I wanted to see who was so bold. I have been looking for her for a few days, but I found that she is not in our house at all."
Wen Jiu couldn't help but give a thumbs up: "You are really amazing, girl. You actually didn't tell me?"
Shanzha pursed her lips and said, "Master, haven't you been busy recently? Liusu and Mammy told me not to disturb your mood, as it would be detrimental to your recovery..."
"Well, it's not easy." Wen Jiu immediately turned his attention to Liu Su: "Don't you have anything to say to me?"
Liusu was silent for a moment, then rummaged through her bosom for a long time before pulling out a handkerchief. She said dryly, "Master, I've been paying more attention since Shanzha said that. When the prince took off his cloak a while ago, I also picked up a handkerchief..."
Then he presented it carefully: "Master, please take a look."
Wen Jiu's face was a little puzzled. He took the thing, took a look at it, and was puzzled: "My goodness, isn't this from the same girl?"
Liusu nodded. "They must be two people. The embroidery is obviously different. Look at this handkerchief. The craftsmanship is even better than that of the sachet. Although there's no name on the signature, there's an orchid embroidered on it. I even asked someone to find out the material. It's smoke-cloud gauze. Although it's not extremely precious, anyone who can afford it must be a daughter from an ordinary family. I wonder how the prince managed to provoke such a person..."
Liusu's face was also a bit worried. The orchid's embroidery skills were also very good. If this person really entered the backyard and shared the Fourth Master's favor, it was not impossible.
Wenjiu held the handkerchief and pondered for a long time, but still couldn't figure it out.
Nanny Song endured it again and again, and finally said, "Master, the prince has been coming back recently, and he always has a strong scent of makeup on him. I can smell it every time I serve him tea. I think he has been contaminated by the girl's stuff. You'd better be careful."
Wen Jiu wondered, "Why don't I smell anything at all?"
Nanny Song said, "Every time the prince returns, I am the first to serve him tea, so naturally I can smell it. Later, when the prince bathes and changes clothes, by the time he enters the inner chamber to see you, there will be no smell at all.
"I haven't smelled it in the past two days, and I thought the prince hadn't been out messing with anyone. But after paying more attention, I found out that the prince had been bathing in the front yard before coming to our yard."
Wen Jiu: "Good fellow, you are all so busy these days, and I am the only one who has free time?"
I'd been having a really good time this month, and I thought everyone was having a good time lately. It turned out everyone was already planning to catch the adulterer, and I was the only one who was kept in the dark.
I gave birth to his child, but he still went out to look for a child? Is this man still acceptable?
"Hey, where's my knife?"
Wenjiu slammed the table, rubbed his teeth, and rushed out with murderous intent.
Her appearance frightened everyone around her: "Master, what are you going to do? No! All men in this world are the same, how can they not cheat?
This is a common occurrence, so please don't get angry with the prince over such a small matter."
"Yes, yes, yes," Shanzha nodded vigorously, grabbing Wenjiu's other arm. "How can any woman outside compare to your beauty? Now that you're out of confinement, dress up well. The prince won't have room for anyone else. Please don't get angry. As you said, anger is bad for your skin."
Liusu nodded and immediately added, "Let's not look at these disgusting things. I'll take them down and burn them for you! The prince's heart is most focused on you, his concubine. How could he be interested in someone else? It might just be a misunderstanding... We absolutely must not let this create any rifts between us."
Wenjiu paused and suddenly turned around: "That's not right."
Then he took the sachet and handkerchief and looked at them carefully for a while.
"If I have someone else, won't I be dead?"
Even if the Fourth Master was less than 50 centimeters away from the woman next to him, his health would be deducted. But in the past month, his health had not been deducted even once.
Furthermore, last night, the Fourth Master dragged me along to spend quite a while with him, which was truly shameless. The passion hadn't dissipated in the second half of the night, and it was making me hurt.
If he really had another woman, how could this happen?
Could it be mental infidelity?
Well... not really, right?
You were hugging your sweetheart last night, and now you're falling in love with someone else?
"Master, here, what kind of knife do you want? I have brought you a short knife, a long knife, and a broadsword."
Dashao suddenly came into the room and took out three knives with a smile.
Liusu: "My dear aunt, why are you joining in the fun at this time? Hurry up, don't use the knives, throw them all away."
Dashao blinked his eyes: "But I just heard the master say to find a knife..."
"Auntie, the master didn't look for a knife. Forget what you heard!" Nanny Song's heart was in her throat, and she immediately pushed the big spoon out the door.
However, he still couldn't push it forward, and he stood there in a daze for a while.
"Master, you really don't want a knife?" Dashao couldn't help but ask again.
"No, just go and do your own thing." Wen Jiu said.
"Okay."
In the blink of an eye, the big spoon disappeared, and Shanzha couldn't help but sigh:
"Why are this lady's ears so pointy?"
Liusu nodded in agreement, and then slapped herself. What was going on? The most important thing now was her master!
He immediately said, "Master, may I serve you some food?"
Wenjiu shook his head: "I just ate two pieces of snacks to fill my stomach. I'm not too hungry. Let's eat together when Master comes back." He pointed at the handkerchief and said, "Liusu, keep this."
Seeing the three people still looking at him with some concern, Wen Jiu said, "You don't have to worry too much. I don't know what the master will be like in the future, but he should be alone now. Don't think too much, just go to duty."
"Yes," the three of them responded immediately and turned to leave the house.
As soon as the door was closed, the three of them sighed solemnly.
"The Master is in such a bad mood right now, yet she's still trying to comfort us..." Shanzha's nose felt a little sour. "How long has she been favored? The Master risked her life to help the Prince give birth to four children. How could the Prince bear to let the Master suffer such an injustice?"
