Chapter 47 A Good Day When All Things Are Not Right
"She is just a wicked servant. Even if she has been with Molan for a few more days, can she really be the same as her elder? That lowly servant wanted to harm her biological father. I have already given up on the fact that Molan helped her deceive me. This is already a way of understanding that she is young and ignorant and cannot distinguish right from wrong. Do you really want me to apologize to them for someone who wants to harm me? Lin Shi is not upright at the top, has no way to control her subordinates, and has no way to educate her daughter. She has made a fool of herself. Sending her back to her hometown in Youyang is to let her reflect on herself. Molan's mother is not here, but her father is still around? Isn't her brother Changfeng here too? Can our Sheng family still treat her badly? "
Mingxi found it funny to see the angry Sheng Hong. It's true that one doesn't know the pain unless one is in the situation. Wei Shuyi suffered such a great crime, but she didn't die, but Sheng Hong thought it was okay. He couldn't bear to part with this and that. He was harmed by others, but it was just a tired experience, but he was always afraid. Ha! Man!
"Yes, yes, yes, good, good, the master and the third young master are also the fourth young lady's biological father and brother, so they can comfort the fourth young lady. We will be with the fifth young lady tomorrow, who is about the same age as the fourth young lady, so it will be good if the little girls can have fun together. But the master still has to think about the fourth young lady. It's best to bring along the people who are often with the fourth young lady. The people here are either my own children or the maids who have just been bought and signed a death contract. I don't know what the situation is with the fourth young lady. If there are maids who have signed a living contract, I'm afraid they won't be willing to go to Tokyo with me. Although Tokyo is good, it's not a good place after all." It's her hometown. Excluding this live contract, I wonder how many people in the West Courtyard are familiar to the Fourth Lady. When the time comes, Aunt Lin will bring some people to Youyang, and the Fourth Lady will have no one to take care of her. "
After coaxing Sheng Hong, Mingxi was worried about Molan. Sheng Hong was straightforward, "Lin went to Youyang to reflect, why did she bring people with her? Youyang still has maids for her to use? She doesn't need to be brought. Those who can accompany Molan to Tokyo should be brought to take care of Molan." Mingxi raised his eyebrows to hide the pride in his eyes. This matter was done, and the rest depended on Luzhu. Yangzhou
in February of the lunar calendar was in the early spring season. The ice and snow melted, the plants began to sprout and grow, and the weather showed a gentle and changeable charm.
Mingxi stood in the courtyard and watched the morning mist gently lingering over the Sheng Mansion. The air was filled with the fresh scent of soil and flowers, which made people feel relaxed and happy. The sun shone through the clouds, sometimes gently, covering the city with a layer of light golden light; sometimes shyly hiding, leaving the sky with a touch of light blue and a few white clouds, a lively scene. Mingxi snorted and laughed. It was a good season. It was suitable to send away annoying people in this spring.
On the seventh day of February, the weather was no longer as bright as yesterday. The sky was very low and gloomy. Mingxi called the parrot, "Is today the day to send Lin Qinshuang back to Yuyang?"
The parrot replied while combing Mingxi's hair, "Yes! The west courtyard was noisy before dawn. Meng even ran over to see what was going on. She said that Lin Qinshuang was very angry and she was going on the road alone. No one in the courtyard followed her, and she even used this as an excuse to make several maids angry. Everyone knew that she was upset, but since they didn't have to suffer with her, they all endured it. Lin Qinshuang couldn't think of any good way, so she could only cry with the fourth lady and her daughter. The fourth lady cried because she really couldn't bear to leave her mother, but I don't know if our Aunt Lin cried because she couldn't bear to leave her two children or the splendor and wealth in Tokyo. "
"Of course she can't bear to leave her children, and of course she can't bear to leave the splendor and wealth, but now she can't hold on to anything." Mingxi said coldly, "Has everything been arranged for Luzhu?"
"Everything has been arranged. We found a maid who has just been bought into the mansion not long ago. Her family is from the countryside near Yangzhou. Her father gambled away all his family property, so he sold all his daughters. She has been staying in the woodshed since she was sent to our mansion. Because of Zhou Xuenniang's incident, no one dared to approach the woodshed, so few people in the mansion knew her, and she didn't see many people. That's why this hard job fell on her. After all, no one in this mansion is really willing to go to Youyang.
I asked someone to send her to the farm, and Luzhu will go in her place. When the girl heard that she didn't have to go to Youyang and could continue to stay in Yangzhou, she was so happy that she jumped up."
Mingxi felt relieved when he heard that she had made all the arrangements. "Everything is done here, how do I pass on the message? Has it been communicated?"
"Don't worry, little girl. It's all settled. If Luzhu has any news, she will write to her brother. If she wants to bring it to us, she will put it in the letter to her brother. She has agreed with her brother that she will send us any news."
Mingxi turned her head suddenly and was about to ask, but the parrot pulled her body back and said softly, "Don't be excited, little girl. Her brother doesn't know what Luzhu is going to do. Luzhu told her brother that you are grateful for Luluo's kindness and take care of their family, so she sent Luzhu to learn a craft. It involves commercial secrets and it is inconvenient to disclose to her brother. Only when she has something to tell you, she needs her brother to convey it. Before the craft is learned, not too many people can know. If we want to pass the message, we can also go through her brother."
Mingxi was speechless. It was so troublesome. His brother was not a fool. How could he not notice that the cat was sticky? "Parrot, do you really think her brother doesn't know?"
The parrot said nonchalantly, "I don't want Huai Xuan to know, firstly, I'm afraid that people who know will gossip, and secondly, I don't want him to get involved. But think about it, if the truth comes out, can Huai Xuan, as Lu Zhu's brother, run away? Moreover, he is already my man, and his life contract is in my hands, so he must be on the same side with you. You are kind-hearted and don't want to drag him into the water, but how do you know that he doesn't want to kill his enemy? Anyway, it's just a message, Huai Xuan doesn't know what Lu Zhu is doing, that's all!"
Mingxi is confused as the person in power, and is not as clear as the parrot. Unexpectedly, so many people have joined the game, and Mingxi has to be more cautious in every step he takes in the future.
While the two were talking, Meng came running in excitedly, "My dear, everyone going to Youyang has set out for the pier. Madam Lin from the west courtyard is also being escorted to the pier by Nan Yu. Now the Third Young Master and the Fourth Young Lady are crying and wanting to see their mother off!"
Meng lowered her voice as she spoke, but her tone was filled with an undisguised sense of gloating, "But the master hasn't shown up, and it seems he doesn't plan to see Madam Lin off."
The parrot tapped Meng's head, "This is only said in our courtyard. Once you leave this door, you have to stop smiling, and don't bring hatred to our dear." Meng was not afraid of the parrot. She smiled and hugged her arm, begging for mercy.
Mingxi murmured, "February 7th, the almanac says that everything is unlucky. What a good day!"
