Later, Madam Gu and Ah Shao were finally discovered and rescued.
That day, Qiao Jingjing was drawing a new year's planting manuscript in the house, and was also preparing to write a book about plants in Wu County.
Sun Shangxiang came to visit her, but she was too busy to pay attention.
Let the little girl play by herself.
Later, I learned that Sun Shangxiang had found someone to take care of her and had even taken Ah Shao with her when she went out.
Everyone knows that Madam Gu rarely leaves this courtyard unless absolutely necessary. She dislikes talking to her sisters-in-law or joining in their chatter.
Madam Gu and Ah Shao went out quite a while ago, but haven't returned yet.
Pearl said she would go to the kitchen to steam a bowl of egg custard for Qiao Jingjing.
Qiao Jingjing knew about this pearl.
Every time Pearl took on a task, she would dawdle for a long time before leaving the house. On the surface, she was doing chores, but in reality, she would run around the entire Marquis's mansion, spreading all the gossip about her area, before finally returning.
Sure enough, Pearl went to the kitchen and served steamed egg custard.
She also chatted with the mothers who were sweeping the yard, asking what Qiao Jingjing ate for lunch, what she ate for breakfast, and what she had been busy with all morning.
"Judging by this, it won't lay a single egg for at least six months!"
To show off her current grandeur, Pearl casually called out to a few old women.
"Come on, you guys come with me! Let's see if the steamed eggs in the kitchen are ready yet."
As you know, there are several mothers in the kitchen. When they saw me going alone, they didn't take me seriously!
But how can we not take the work in our room seriously these days?
Madam Qiao is the apple of Lord Wu's eye! Oh my God, mothers, none of you have any idea how hard and tiring this work is for me.
I was just passing by the pond when I heard a child crying and saw a piece of clothing with pearls floating on the surface. I took one last, quick look.
That's Wu Hou's young master, A Shao.
Pearl quickly cried out in surprise.
The mothers were in a flurry of activity, some rolling up their sleeves, and one who could swim jumped into the water to try and rescue her.
After several digs and claws, they finally managed to pull the people out one by one.
Madam Gu choked on water and didn't recover for a long time.
When he opened his eyes, he was disoriented, his eyes were vacant, and he was trembling.
The wet nurse held Ah Shao tightly, looking so nervous she seemed ready to devour him, not allowing anyone to get close.
Everyone still hasn't found out why Madam Gu fell into the water.
It spread like wildfire.
It is said that because Madam Qiao was enjoying immense prestige, while Madam Gu was no longer favored, she simply took Ah Shao and her wet nurse to jump into the water.
This is utter despair.
In Madam Gu's room, her mother-in-law, Madam Wu, Madam Xie from the second son's family, Madam Xu from the third son's family, and her sisters-in-law sat closely around the bed, holding her hands and comforting her.
The third sister-in-law, Xu, said, “Sister-in-law! You’re really foolish! How could you take Ashao to the water’s edge? What if something happens to him? Mother has been worried all day. My eldest brother is out on business and can’t get away.”
The second younger brother's wife, Xie, was also anxious.
“Sister-in-law, we are both people with the same fate. Unlike the third son’s wife who has the ability to keep him, we are the same. As for wives, they are just decorations. Only the other one is good. They treat whatever they say as a treasure. But sister-in-law, isn’t this our fate? Stop thinking nonsense and take good care of yourself.”
Madam Gu's mouth stretched and stretched, almost revealing that someone had pushed her into the water.
But the person was behind her, and she couldn't see their face at all.
"How are Zimi and the wet nurse doing?"
Xu sighed.
“Sister-in-law, what time is it! You’re still thinking about Zimi and the wet nurse! They’re both fine. Zimi is still breathing, but it will take some time for her to wake up. The wet nurse has gone mad. She’s clinging tightly to Ashao, her teeth chattering.”
"It's probably because the water is cold. He'll feel better after snuggling in the blankets for a while."
Madam Wu saw that her eldest daughter-in-law had already woken up.
They had someone bring stools to the courtyard of Fu Garden.
Then someone was sent to fetch Pearl, the maid from Da Qiao's room.
Madam Wu wanted to know the details of the incident herself.
When Pearl met Madam Wu, she simply knelt on the ground.
"Are you Pearl from Sister-in-law Qiao's room? Tell me everything you saw today." Madam Xu took the lead in questioning her mother-in-law.
Pearl said that she was originally going to get steamed egg custard for Madam Qiao, but she went to the garden on the way and saw Madam Gu and Young Master Shao fall into the water, so she quickly pulled them out.
If that's the case, then the pearl has done a good job.
Deserves a reward.
Pearl, in terms of seniority, is still young, having only served the former Madam Gu for a few years. Now she is facing the highest authority in the inner quarters of the Sun family, Madam Wu, and her official daughters-in-law.
Pearls have no fear.
Qiao Jingjing had only sorted out half of the manuscript in her room.
Yu Mei said that something big had happened across the street, and the Grand Madam and the young ladies had all come over.
Qiao Jingjing drank a glass of sweet water.
After Madam Gu fell into the water, Ah Shao and the wet nurse also fell in. Anyone with a normal IQ would not find this incident ordinary.
Madam Wu wanted to know something more from Pearl.
But Pearl said nothing more.
"I was just passing by when I discovered the drowning lady and gentleman and rescued them."
joke.
If a marquis's mansion isn't known for its clear system of rewards and punishments, who would be willing to work for you?
Madam Wu remained silent for a moment.
Just then, they said that Zimi had woken up.
Madam Wu then had purple rice brought over.
Zi Mi's lips were still blue; she hadn't lost her dizziness after being slashed down.
