Chapter 578 Shen Mingxuan's New Maid
Hua Yi suddenly turned around and saw a person dressed in black.
She took a step back warily: "Who are you?"
"I'm the only one who can help you."
"Impossible! You're such a secretive person, how could you possibly have the ability to make me your son's concubine?"
"because--"
As Chu Yanluo spoke, she lifted the hood covering her face: "My name is Chu Yanluo."
Hua Yi was shocked: "Chu Yanluo?! You, you, you are the Chu Yanluo that the young master likes to the point of madness?"
Chu Yanluo pulled her hood up again, covering her face: "So, do you believe I have the ability to help you now? You definitely won't find another person who can help you besides me. Of course, if you don't want to, then forget it, just pretend I didn't say anything."
After Chu Yanlu finished speaking, she turned and left.
After walking for a while, she realized that Huayi was following her from a distance.
She sneered. Very well, the first fish has taken the bait. Now she's going to find the second one.
The sky gradually darkened.
The Shen family.
Dujuan and the others were busy making new bedding. The number of maids had suddenly increased, and there weren't enough bedding to go around.
Qin Xin rushed in from outside; "Miss, Hua Yi is back!"
Shen Wantang was somewhat surprised: "You're back? Who let you come back?"
"It's the young lady!"
"What?!"
"Huayi is now working as a maid for the young lady! Besides her, there is another one. I heard the people in the young lady's room call her Luoyan."
Luo Yan? Isn't that Chu Yanluo's name reversed?
Could it be that Chu Yanluo has arrived?
No way, she actually went after Shen Mingxuan? She can temporarily suppress the grudges from her two past lives? She's even willing to be Shen Mingxuan's maid?
This is just so bizarre!
Shen Wantang immediately stood up: "Let's go, let's go take a look!"
As soon as you enter Shen Mingxuan's courtyard, her painful wails have stopped, replaced by laughter and cheerful chatter.
When Shen Wantang entered the room, she saw that Shen Mingxuan, who had been in so much pain, was now sitting up and chatting happily with a woman with a sallow complexion and ordinary appearance. Standing next to this woman was Huayi, whom she had driven away.
Shen Wantang had already recognized from the voice that the unfamiliar woman was Chu Yanluo, but she had disguised herself to conceal her beauty, which could easily arouse Shen Mingxuan's jealousy.
Shen Wantang pretended not to recognize Chu Yanluo and casually found a chair to sit down: "Sister, it's so lively here. I haven't seen you for a short while, and you've gained two maids. How strange! What were they talking about that made you so happy? Tell me, so I can be happy too!"
The moment Shen Mingxuan saw her, the smile vanished without a trace, and she couldn't contain her anger: "What are you doing in my yard again? Are you that bored?!"
"I have plenty of free time. Didn't my sister used to have plenty of free time too? Didn't she often come to my yard?"
Shen Wantang's smile was laced with sarcasm: "Sister, have you forgotten? One minute you're showing off to me about the new hairpin you got, the next you're telling me about meeting some young master, and then you're bringing me freshly made pastries from the kitchen to eat. Did I say anything about it?"
"Now that my sister is injured, I can't even make a few extra trips to see her? My sister is being far too petty!"
Shen Mingxuan stared intently at her: "You're making it sound so high-sounding, but you're just here to get revenge on me!"
“I was really sad when my sister said that. I really wanted her to get better, so as soon as I heard that she had stopped crying and wailing, I rushed over to check on her.”
Shen Wantang said in a relaxed tone, with a curious look on her face, "I just don't know what kind of magic medicine you used, sister. How did you recover so quickly? You can sit up now? Before, when I came, you could only lie on your stomach. It was so pitiful that I couldn't bear to watch you!"
Shen Mingxuan hated Shen Wantang's gloating attitude. She never dreamed that one day she would be beaten by Shen Wantang and become a laughing stock for him!
Her fingers clenched so tightly that her nails dug deep into the flesh of her palms, yet she felt no pain at all: "Didn't my sister claim to be an expert in traditional Chinese medicine? How come she's not as skilled as my newly acquired maid?"
"My maid is named Luo Yan, and she's much more capable than my sister. She used a new medicine on me, and the pain immediately stopped!"
"Little sister, you really are all talk and no action. If you have medical skills, you can use them to fool outsiders, but don't fool yourself too!"
Looking at her smug expression, Shen Wantang sighed and shook her head: "I always thought you were quite smart, but it turns out you were just pretending! Of course there are medicines in the world that can quickly relieve pain, but these kinds of medicines are all toxic and cannot be used indiscriminately. Otherwise, why wouldn't the doctor who treated your injury have given you such a wonderful medicine?"
Shen Mingxuan suddenly looked at Chu Yanluo: "The medicine you gave me was poisonous?"
Chu Yanlu shook her head confidently: "Don't worry, Miss. My medicine is a family secret recipe that can't be bought outside. It's non-toxic and harmless, and it can help your body recover quickly. You'll know once you use it a few times. I would never lie to you. If I did, I wouldn't have a good ending either, would I?"
Shen Mingxuan looked at Shen Wantang, her tone filled with undisguised smugness: "Did you hear that? My maid's medicine is a secret remedy, completely free of poison! Is it because you can't make such good medicine yourself, and you're deliberately framing my maid?"
Shen Wantang looked at her like she was an idiot: "Fine, if you think it's useful, use it more."
"Of course it works!"
As Shen Mingxuan spoke, she stood up abruptly and paced back and forth in front of Shen Wantang, looking relaxed: "Look, it really is a miraculous medicine! I can walk around again so quickly! Now I have a maid who is proficient in medicine and can make secret medicines. Are you scared and terrified, little sister?"
Shen Wantang looked at her, bewildered: "What do I have to be afraid of? What, are you going to have your maid poison me?"
"Tsk, little sister, you're judging me by my own petty standards. You're my sister, how could I poison you? That's not what I wanted to say."
"Then what do you want to say?"
"What I'm saying is that your tricks of using your medical expertise to fool people won't work anymore, especially in front of the Duchess. You can't keep up the act because my maid can see through your schemes at a glance!"
Shen Wantang said calmly, "Really? Where did you find such a capable maid? Let me see the indenture."
"Don't worry about where I found this maid. She doesn't have any indenture; she came with me voluntarily."
As Shen Mingxuan spoke, she pointed at Huayi: "Oh, right, there's also this maid named Huayi, who has now voluntarily followed me!"
"My dear sister, how come you can't even keep a maidservant by your side? Aren't you a terrible person?"
"You should learn a lot from me. Look how charming I am! Everyone wants to follow me!"
