“This matter needs to be handled urgently!
It will be inconvenient after the general returns to Beijing." Zhou couldn't help but pinch a piece of Eight Treasures Cake and said bitterly.
Mother Liu was massaging Zhou's shoulders and back, her lips curled as she quietly analyzed:
"The Second Young Miss was already weak, and after being caned for so long, she must have developed a lot of underlying health problems!
Even if she returns home in the future, she won’t live long. By then…”
Zhou swallowed the cake in her mouth and asked impatiently, "Don't hesitate. Just say it if you have something to say."
Upon hearing this, Mother Liu hurriedly leaned forward, leaned close to Zhou's ear, and whispered a reminder:
"Madam, why don't you think about who ordered someone to beat the Second Miss? That was the culprit!"
Zhou was not a fool, and she immediately understood the meaning of Mother Liu's words!
So, does this mean that the grandmother beat her granddaughter to death?
While Zhou was thinking, Madam Liu spoke again:
"If the Second Young Miss died in the other courtyard, then there would be no need for Madam to worry.
The illness has been going on for a long time and the lady is helpless to help. The general will not say that the lady has not taken good care of the second young lady.
"After all, when you beat the Second Young Miss with a stick, you, Madam, knelt on the ground and begged for mercy for her!
Everyone in the house knows that the lady loves the second young lady even more than her own daughter.
Where or when did she die in the future? And what does it have to do with our Lihua Garden?"
Zhou nodded secretly, thinking that Mother Liu was right.
She is the mistress of the general's mansion, that's right.
However, after the death of his former mistress, Lan, the general became devastated and refused to remarry.
Relying on the fact that Zhou was good at giving birth and had given birth to several children for the general's mansion, the old lady decided to make her the legal wife instead of a concubine.
But that old lady is also a nuisance!
I have to visit her every morning and evening for so many years. It’s really tiring to go to her every day to set rules!
Moreover, General Si is a filial son and obeys every word of his mother, the old lady!
However, he was not close to her, his second wife.
If she hadn't used some tricks back then, how could she have given birth to the general's eldest son? That's how she got the position of mistress!
But she lived a very depressed life under the pressure of her mother-in-law!
The old lady is the general's biological mother, and the second young lady is also the general's biological daughter.
If... because of this incident, there was a rift between the old lady and the general...
This is actually killing two birds with one stone?
Thinking of this, Zhou finally breathed a sigh of relief and tapped her fingers on the table intermittently.
She looked up and said to Mama Liu, "This matter must not be known to anyone else. That old woman Zhang..."
Mother Liu had served Zhou for more than twenty years, and she knew what Zhou meant just by looking at her.
She nodded quickly and continued, "I understand. I will make sure this matter is properly arranged!"
On a summer afternoon, Si Jinxing was lying on the couch, holding a copy of "Chronicles of the National Dynasty", catching up on the background knowledge of this new world.
Then I heard a burst of brisk footsteps in the yard, coming from far away.
The little girl originally had a look of frustration and anxiety on her face, but as soon as she entered the room and closed the door, she immediately put on a smiling face!
She leaned over to Si Jinxing's ear and whispered, "Miss, it's your uncle who has replied!"
After reading the letter, Si Jinxing folded it, stuffed it into her sleeve, and a smile flashed across her face.
She raised her hand and pinched Luzhu's face, saying, "Your expression of sorrow just now was so real!"
Lu Zhu pulled down her young lady's hand and said mysteriously:
"Oh, miss, you are amazing! It's just as you said. The doorman has been sneaking glances at the second gate these past two days."
"And that old lady Mo, I've been going in and out these past few days, and she didn't ask too many questions, but she kept staring at me.
Seeing me come back with a bunch of medicinal herbs today, that thief finally felt relieved! "
Si Jinxing curved her lips and smiled, no longer responding to Lu Zhu's words, and turned to Yan Fei and said:
"This drama has to be done in full, let's go and boil the herbs that Lu Zhu brought back!"
Yan Fei took the medicine bag and walked out. She always felt that her young lady seemed like a different person since the night when Mrs. Zhang had the accident.
His health is getting better and better, and he is no longer bedridden. This morning, he could even jog a few steps in the yard!
He is bold and magnanimous in his words and deeds, decisive and resolute, and very intelligent.
She couldn't help but recall the scene a few days ago when her young lady ordered Lu Zhu to slap Mrs. Mo.
It's truly unprecedented...so heroic!
It’s great to have a young lady like this. If she returns home in the future, she will be bullied less, right?
Soon, the entire three-story villa was filled with the strong bitter smell of the herbal soup.
Mrs. Mo in the front yard smelled the bitter medicine soup and threw away the broom in her hand!
He spat at the second door and cursed in a low voice: "Little bitch, let's see how many days you can live!"
Recently, Mrs. Mo has been cursing in a low voice like this all the time, and the two servants at the gatehouse have long been accustomed to it.
One of them, Zhao Kun, sighed and said:
"Mrs. Mo is the manager of this courtyard. She has access to every courtyard. When has she ever suffered such humiliation?
She was actually ordered not to enter the second courtyard. Our second young lady is really capable!"
When Mrs. Mo heard this, she remembered the humiliation she had suffered that day and cursed:
"Bah, you bastard, you were born by a mother but never raised by one!"
She glared at Zhao Kun and walked away cursing.
On this day, an inconspicuous gray-shed carriage quietly drove into the back door of the general's mansion.
In a dilapidated woodshed.
"You mean, our second young lady no longer takes the medicine from the town doctor, but instead sends the two maids to the mountains to collect herbs? Hahaha, this is really courting death!
