At first, Mrs. Liu was a little resistant to Su Man, but when she saw some of Liu Man's habits in Su Man, she could say a few words to her.
After the maid helped Madam Liu leave, Su Man looked at her back with an inquiring gaze.
Look at the expressions of Madam Liu and Mr. Liu. Although they no longer love Liu Man, if she guides them to recall some past events, their attitude will change a little.
Not much, only subtle changes can be seen.
In this case...
-
"Miss? Why are you still here?"
Taozhi, who came back to get the hand warmer, was a little surprised to see Su Man still in the flower hall.
Su Man remained calm and said, "Nothing, I just ate too much. I'll sit here for a while before leaving."
Taozhi didn't say much, took the hand warmer and walked out.
She has been serving Madam Liu all the time. If there is anything unusual about Madam Liu, she will definitely know it.
Thinking of this, Su Man called her, "Sister Taozhi."
Taozhi stopped and asked, "Miss, do you have any other instructions?"
Su Man smiled and said to the maid sweeping the flower hall, "Go and help Sister Taozhi take the hand warmer to Madam."
"Why."
The maid took the things, glanced at Su Man, then lowered her head again. Before leaving, she pulled the short maid who was still standing in the room and said, "The young lady's tea is cold. Go and change it."
The short maid didn't react. How come the water had just been poured and it was already cold?
She nodded in the direction of Su Man and Tao Zhi, and the short maid understood. She took the tea from Su Man and left.
When going out, the maid holding the hand warmer did not forget to close the door.
Su Man curled the corners of her lips. What a smart girl.
Taozhi now understood that Su Man had something to say to her. Seeing that they were the only two left in the room, she said, "The Madam needs someone to stay with her. If you have anything to say, you can just speak up."
Su Man sighed, "If only mother could love me as much as she loves Sister Taozhi."
Taozhi was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously said, "How could Madam not like the eldest lady? Madam..."
She wanted to say something else, but when she saw Su Man's horrible face, the words got stuck in her throat.
Taozhi also watched Liu Man grow up. At the beginning, the lady favored the second lady, and she tried to persuade her.
But not to mention the Madam, even she herself was more cordial when dealing with the Second Young Lady, which made her confused.
In fact, Taozhi didn’t know that this sense of incongruity was because Liu Luoyi’s face now belonged to Liu Man.
That's why she clearly felt sorry for Liu Man, but treated Liu Luoyi more kindly.
...
In just a few words, Su Man understood the whole story.
It seems that except for Mr. Liu and Madam Liu, the rest of the people are normal. It is only because their images have been swapped that they subtly reject Liu Man.
After asking this, Su Man felt relieved. She looked at Taozhi with a smile, "Sister Taozhi is still the same as when I was a child. Whenever I encounter any troubles, you can always help me solve them."
"Miss, you are too kind." Taozhi said.
Su Man casually said, "Mom hasn't been feeling well lately, and I'm very worried. I wonder if she went anywhere before she got sick, or if she encountered anything strange. I'm worried she might have run into something unclean, so I'm thinking of going to the temple to pray for her in a few days."
The emperor of the time worshipped Taoism, sought immortality and made elixirs, and his subjects naturally did the same.
So it was not out of place for Su Man to use the ghost story as an excuse. Tao Zhi thought she was worried about Madam Liu and said without defense, "Miss, you have a point. But even though Madam has gone out before, she has always been to visit the homes of familiar ladies or to pray at the Taoist temple. She has never had any conflicts."
"I see..."
Su Man's brow furrowed.
"However, two months ago, the Second Miss went to the suburbs to pay homage to her biological father. Madam and Master, expressing their gratitude for the Second Miss's biological father's sacrifice, wanted to go together, but because Master had official business those days, they gave up."
Su Man's heart moved. Two months ago, wasn't that what happened before Liu Luoyi and Liu Man swapped faces?
Could it be that Liu Luoyi's deceased father appeared in spirit?
It seems that I should go there in person when I have time.
Thinking of this, Su Man said, "In this case, I'll trouble Sister Taozhi to take good care of mother."
Taozhi bowed and said, "This is my duty. If there is nothing else, I will go back first."
-
As soon as Taozhi left, someone came to report that an apprentice from the clinic wanted to see Suman.
It seems that Xu Yuan has arrived. Su Man ordered, "Tell him to wait for me at Biluo Garden."
Su Man walked back slowly, and on the way, she happened to meet the maid who had just delivered the hand warmer.
When she saw Su Man, she immediately bowed and said, "Greetings, Miss."
Because Liu Luoyi was favored these days, everyone was indifferent to Su Man, but this maid was still respectful to her. In addition, her clever performance just now made Su Man more interested in her.
"What's your name?"
"In reply to the young lady, this servant is Si Xi."
Su Man nodded and suddenly smiled. "All four corners are complete, and everyone is happy. It's a good name. Are you willing to come back with me to Biluo Garden to serve?"
Si Xi raised her head, "Miss, you are joking, right?"
Su Man didn't say anything, just looked at her with a smile.
Si Xi quickly knelt down and kowtowed, "Thank you very much for your support, Miss. Si Xi will do his best to serve you in the future."
"Get up."
After Si Xi stood up, he lagged behind Su Man by one step, following her like a shadow.
...
After all, Liu Man is a lady in the boudoir, and it is inconvenient for her to show up in public for some things. Her personal maid Cuiping is not available, so it is more convenient for her to have her own talents.
