Chapter 21 Chapter 21 In the dream, evil is coming
"Doesn't she have a princess's residence? What is she doing here?"
"Somehow a huge fire broke out in the princess's residence, and now even the house has been burned down." When she heard this, she felt that God was blind. Why did such a good person like the princess have to encounter such a thing?
"Doesn't she have any other friends? Why does she have to live in our house?" Jiang Wu felt that her illness was not going to be cured, and now it was made worse by her anger.
Look, she said that the two of them must have been having an affair for a long time, and now they are probably just thinking about making love on the bed under her.
Bah, you two bastards.
Juan'er said in a very low voice, "I think the Princess of Changle County is very good. Moreover, the Princess and the Prime Minister have a master-disciple relationship. The Princess also lived in the mansion when she was young. There is nothing wrong with her moving in now."
"You are speaking for her. Whose maid are you anyway?" Juan'er's words also reminded Jiang Wu of some things that he had not noticed in his dream.
For example, why can they always find evidence of her having an affair with others so accurately? She doesn't believe that there is no trick involved.
"Madam, that's not what I meant. I just think that the princess is still your disciple, so it's reasonable for her to live in your mansion." Juan'er, who was misunderstood by the lady, almost shook her head like a rattle to prove her innocence.
When Jiang Wu kept saying that their relationship was normal and that she was making a fuss, she pointed at the door and yelled, "Get out! Get out!"
"Madam." Juan'er, who thought she was tongue-tied and had said the wrong thing, wanted to say something, but fell silent when she met the madam's cold eyes.
"Madam, please calm down first. If you need anything, just call me."
The moment Juan'er left, Jiang Wu, who had originally had a layer of spikes all over her body to protect herself, found that there was no one in this mansion she could trust. Who else could she trust?
She was like a helpless ship drifting in the eye of a storm. In the next moment, a huge wave would hit her and knock her to the shore. She wanted to call for help, but all she got was huge waves.
Juan'er, who was driven out of the yard, thought that the lady was in a bad mood, so she planned to go to the kitchen to get some cakes that the lady liked to eat. You know, the lady is always easy to coax.
Aunt Li from the kitchen saw her coming and said with a smile, "Miss Juan'er is here. Today the kitchen made deep-fried peony flower slices and mountain and sea buckthorn dumplings, both of which are Madam's favorites. You can take them."
"Mrs. Li is so kind! She knows Madam doesn't have a good appetite today." Juan'er was about to get some food when another hand snatched away the fried peony flower slices and mountain and sea bream she had ordered. She was so angry that she kept yelling, "What are you doing? These foods are prepared for Madam."
"I'm sorry, these are also our princess's favorite foods." The maid who snatched the things did not feel guilty at all, but felt justified instead.
"This is what my wife wants to eat. If the princess wants to eat it, why don't you ask the kitchen to cook it?" Juan'er was so angry that her face turned red. She didn't understand why the princess, such a good person, had such a wicked slave around her.
Zijuan's eyes nearly rolled up. "Since our princess is pleased with this food, she should be grateful and offer it to us. Everyone in the Prime Minister's residence knows that the lady is just a decoration. The one whom the Prime Minister truly cherishes is our princess."
"Zijuan, what are you talking about?" Shen Tingxue's soft and coquettish voice was floating on the wind, but she did not deny the meaning of her words.
Then, she gently advised Juan'er, who was so angry that she was about to explode, "My maidservant is usually straightforward, but she has a bad heart. If she has offended you in the past, I will apologize to you on her behalf."
"No, no, besides, she didn't say anything just now." Juan'er was so anxious that she didn't dare to ask her to apologize to her. She just felt that it was a great blessing to be the princess's maid.
"It's not a matter of whether to gain or not. After all, she did something wrong." Shen Tingxue glared at Zijuan, "Zijuan, why don't you apologize to Miss Juan'er quickly."
"Princess." Zijuan bit her lips in anger, but she was unwilling but still said sorry reluctantly.
Juan'er, who was apologized for, blushed and felt embarrassed. "It's okay. Since the princess likes it, then give it to her. The lady is not picky about food anyway."
"How can this be embarrassing? What if you don't take back the food that Sister Jiang wants? What if she gets angry?" Shen Tingxue said she was sorry, but she didn't mean to return it. She just frowned slightly, and even looked at her with a hint of heartache. "I heard that Sister Jiang has a bad temper. As her maid, did you suffer a lot?"
"No." Juan'er shook her head and smiled shyly, "Madam treats me very well."
Zijuan rolled her eyes in disdain. "I treat you like a servant and boss you around a lot, which is a kindness to you. I think you've been a slave for too long, and you don't even have the most basic dignity as a human being."
Juan'er blushed at what she said, and didn't know what to say in rebuttal. She just lowered her head and said sullenly, "Madam is very good to me."
"What's good about her? If she was really good, why would she always ask you to do things to serve her?"
Juan'er opened her mouth to refute, but then she felt that what she said made sense. Besides, in terms of her family background, she was a daughter of the prime minister's family, so she was no worse than the lady. She just didn't have the lady's good luck.
"Okay, stop talking." Chen Tingxue pretended to be angry and interrupted Zijuan. She took off the bracelet on her wrist and put it on Juan'er's hand. "You and I hit it off right away. If you don't mind, you can call me sister from now on. I didn't bring any gifts today. This bracelet is my gift to you. I hope you don't mind."
"No, this is too valuable, I can't accept it." Juan'er was so frightened that she wanted to take off the bracelet on her hand. Besides, how could she, a servant, call the princess a sister?
Even if the princess meant well, she couldn't do that.
"Money is just a thing outside of my body to me. Besides, you will call me sister from now on. It is normal for me, as a sister, to give my sister a little gift." Shen Tingxue put it on her head forcefully, with anger in her coquettishness, "If you don't accept it, it means you look down on my gift."
"Princess, I..."
"Why call me Princess? You should call me Sister."
Only when Juan'er walked away as if she were dreaming on clouds did Zijuan say dissatisfiedly, "Princess, why did you give her that bracelet?"
"I just gave it to you because I think we like it. If you like it, I will give you one too." For Shen Tingxue, a worthless bracelet can win a person's heart. She will not lose money in this deal anyway.
She didn't want to stretch her hands so far. If she had to blame someone, she could only blame herself for marrying her master shamelessly.
The master is hers, and no one can snatch him from her. Besides, how can a backward and feudal ancient person compare to her who comes from the modern era?
After Juan'er left, Jiang Wu discovered that she had her period. Because she did not feel any discomfort during her period, she did not notice it at first.
Although she was not feeling unwell, she had to pretend to be unwell so that she could temporarily escape the pain of doing homework.
"Madam, these are the peonies that just bloomed this morning." Qiuyue walked in holding a pot of peonies. When no one noticed, she quickly walked to her side and whispered, "The young master is here. Please meet Madam at the old place."
Lying on the bed, Jiang Wu smiled weakly, "I really want to see him, but my period has come, and the pain is so severe that I don't even have the strength to get out of bed."
"What? Is she in so much pain?" Ji Xiao did not sleep all night after learning that Mr. Xie stayed in her room and asked for water twice. She went straight to Xie's house after daybreak.
First, I didn’t want to make Xue’er sad about this.
Second, that woman kept saying that he was her favorite person and that she would remain a virgin for him, but she actually slept with Lord Xie. What's the difference between this and cuckolding him?
On the way here, I had already thought about how to warn her, control her, and blame her.
As a result, she simply refused to see him.
Jiang Wu, you are really great!
"A-choo"
Jiang Wu, who always felt like someone was scolding him, rubbed his nose and looked at Song Jinye, who came to see him eagerly after learning that he was not feeling well.
"This is the longan, red dates and white fungus soup I made myself. Maybe you will feel better after drinking it." Although Song Jin is his cousin, he is also an outsider and naturally cannot step into the inner room. He can only talk about tea through a piece of gauze.
"But my cousin is really something. He knew that my sister-in-law was not feeling well but he didn't come back to see you. Not only that, he didn't even send anyone to check on her. If it were me, I would definitely stay by her bedside to take care of her."
Jiang Wu drank the longan and red date soup he brought her and said nonchalantly, "Your cousin is busy with something, and besides, I just had my period, it's not a big deal."
"A woman's period is when her body is at its weakest, so it's no big deal. If my sister-in-law can be so indifferent, I have to pay more attention to her." Song Jin was just thinking about how to apply eye drops when he heard her order him to leave. "I'm a little sleepy and want to rest."
The words Song Jin was about to say were immediately stuck in his throat, and he immediately felt guilty, "It's my fault. I forgot that my sister-in-law was not feeling well and disturbed her for so long."
"I'm going back first. If you feel unwell, please come find me."
"I will, thank you cousin."
The word "cousin" almost made Song Jin stumble and hit the threshold as he stepped out of the room, causing him to fall flat on his face, his baby face turning blue and red.
He worked so hard for so long, not just to gain the reputation of being a filial cousin.
Because he heard Ji Xiao's name during the day, Jiang Wu started having inappropriate dreams after falling asleep.
The rain in April always falls continuously, as if there will never be a sunny day, and the air is filled with the lingering smell of plum rain.
"Miss, I'm afraid the rain won't stop for a while, so I have to ask you to take shelter in the dilapidated temple for now."
"Hurry up and light the fire! If the young lady catches a cold, none of you will be able to work again."
"Miss, this stool has been cleaned inside and out, and covered with clothes. Please sit down and have a rest."
Jiang Wu, feeling uncomfortable with wet shoes, lowered her head and met Ji Xiao's eyes, which were like a beast that wanted to eat her alive.
Even in a dream, Jiang Wu still felt a sense of fear instinctively. When she wanted to retreat, she remembered that this was her dream. Since it was her dream, there was no reason for her to be afraid of him.
After comforting himself in his heart, Jiang Wu, who was sitting on the stool, suddenly raised his foot and stepped on his face with a vicious look.
"Come here and help me lick my feet clean."
