Chapter 250: Good Days with Hugs on Both Sides

Lu Mingchao laughed dumbly.

She believed in what the wife of Marquis Yongning said.

However, this is not the same idea as that one.

Every time Lu Minghui poked the basket or got into trouble, the wife of Marquis Yongning would miss the original owner who saved her troubles.

It’s better not to have this kind of longing.

Lu Mingchao looked at the lush bamboo forest in the Cuiyuan.

Dew soaks the joints in lead powder, and wind sways the jade-green branches.

This bamboo forest looks very much like the bamboo forest in Xie's house in Changhe County.

Since moving to Changhe in the spring, she likes to sit on a stone chair next to the bamboo forest to drink tea and listen to the wind.

The bamboo forest is still there, but my family is no longer by my side.

There seemed to be a human figure looming on the path shaded by bamboo leaves.

Lu Mingchao looked carefully and saw that it was the maid from the Yongning Marquis's mansion who was leading Liuyue, Danzhu, Amber and Qingtang slowly towards them.

"Second Miss." The servant of the Marquis's Mansion bowed and greeted her politely.

Lu Mingchao said gently, "No need to call my second young lady."

"Just call me Madam Xie."

The maid in the mansion looked hesitant and stammered, "Madam has ordered that everyone in the mansion respect you as the second young lady, and your food, clothing, and lodging will be the same as the eldest young lady."

"Second Miss, the person has been brought. I will go down first."

The maid left in a hurry, as if the Cuiyuan was a dirty thing that should not be touched.

Lu Mingchao didn't mind it, but waved to Liu Yue and the others with a smile on his face.

Under the flowing moon, the consciousness grinned, the smile was brilliant and clear, like a big dog wagging its tail,

Lu Mingchao was infected by Liu Yue's smile and felt relieved. "Tell me about your strengths again."

“This time it’s for real.”

Liu Yue puffed out her chest and said happily, "Madam, I am really good at knife skills."

"Chopping melons and vegetables, the knife is quick and the knife is swift."

"White knife in, red knife out?" Lu Mingchao added.

Liu Yue nodded like a little chicken pecking at rice, "Madam, you are wise."

"I am here, and if anyone dares to harm my lady, I will chop off his dog head."

Lu Mingchao: I can see that Liu Yue is a chatterbox.

Well, I should have a lot in common with Yun Zheng who is far away in Changhe County.

When two people get together, they can talk till the end of time.

"I am a servant named Danzhu, and I am good at finding opportunities to get information and fish in troubled waters."

Danzhu is petite and her face turns red whenever she speaks.

Lu Mingchao was a little skeptical. Could someone with such a shy personality really get any information?

To seize a gap is like threading a needle.

"My servant Amber is really good at putting on makeup and tying hair. With just one glance, there is nothing I cannot learn, so I am a little bit proficient in the art of disguise."

Amber has a tall and slender figure, her skin is not fair and tender, and her voice is slightly hoarse, but her facial features are extremely delicate and sharp, just like the majestic pine trees on a solitary mountain. At first glance, she has a beauty that is difficult to tell whether she is male or female.

If he changes into a long gown and holds a folding fan in his hand, he will be a handsome young man.

"I am Qingtang, a servant who is well versed in pharmacology and the properties of medicines. I can cure illnesses and save lives, but I can also kill people with poison without leaving any trace."

Qingtang has a harmless temperament and is more like a little white flower than Lu Minghui.

Lu Mingchao pondered secretly.

The four maids each have their own characteristics.

Liu Yue is lively and wieldy.

Danzhu shyly sought information.

Amber is very powerful and can disguise herself.

Qingtang Chunche can poison.

His appearance and temperament are incompatible with what he is good at.

With these four people, she can feel more at ease.

"Qingtang, please check the interior and exterior of the Cuiyuan."

Qingtang: "Yes, ma'am."

Liu Yue was unwilling to be left behind. "Madam, where is this servant?"

"How about I help you chop off Lu Minghui's head and kick it like a ball."

Danzhu smiled shyly and said, "I'll take a walk around the mansion and chat with the maids about daily necessities."

Amber was not good at speaking. She just blinked her extremely delicate eyes and looked at Lu Mingchao with pride and pity.

Lu Mingchao: She lived a good life surrounded by beauties.

I didn't catch up with the good times, but I did live a good life.

"Liu Yue, we generally can't kill people."

"Danzhu can go and get in touch with them."

"As for amber, I have something that may be useful for disguise. You can study it in your spare time."

Amber's eyes suddenly lit up.

In the Cuiyuan, the master and servant were talking and laughing happily.

In Lanxiyuan, a storm is about to come and people are in panic.

After leaving the Cuicui Courtyard, the wife of Marquis Yongning went straight to the Lanxi Courtyard.

Nanny Wang was still standing under the eaves with an expressionless face.

The servants who served Lu Minghui in Lanxi Courtyard were kept outside the courtyard and were not allowed to approach.

Qiushi was skinny, with sunken cheeks. Her usually numb expression was rarely brightened. Her bony fingers tightly wrapped around the handkerchief. Her eyes, like ancient wells, shone with a strange light. She looked up at Chunhua expectantly, "Sister Chunhua, the young lady is back, the young lady is back."

"I, am I saved?"

Chunhua first looked around cautiously, and when she saw that no one was paying attention, she lowered her voice and said, "Qiu Shi, you are a servant of Lanxiyuan, and your indenture is in the hands of the eldest lady."

"If the eldest lady won't let him go, there's nothing the young lady can do."

The light in Qiushi's eyes gradually extinguished.

It's like a candle struggling to burn out in the howling wind.

Tears fell silently, drop by drop.

"Sister Chunhua, it hurts so much."

"I couldn't sleep all night because of the pain and I couldn't breathe."

“I can’t bear it any longer.”

Chunhua's eyes were filled with sadness. She felt pity for Qiushi, but she was helpless and could only watch Qiushi suffer.

Years later, the older girl was no longer satisfied with just acupuncture, and instead inserted silver needles into Qiushi's body.

At first, she wanted to remember how many needles there were in Qiushi's body, but later...

She can't remember.

When a girl is happy, she will bother Qiu Shi.

When the older girl is bored, she will also bother Qiushi.

She herself didn't know how long Qiushi could live.

She repeatedly advised Qiushi that it was better to live a lazy life than to die, but she also felt from the bottom of her heart that Qiushi's lazy life was too hard.

"Qiushi, go and beg the young lady."

"What if, what if the lady has a solution?"

Qiushi fell silent for a long time, then slowly shook his head and said, "No more."

"To put it nicely, the young lady is staying at the Marquis's mansion temporarily. To put it bluntly, she is living under someone else's roof."

"My body is full of silver needles that travel with the blood. Even if you try to save me from the devil's cave, I won't live long. I'd better not cause you any trouble."

"I have no regrets that I can see the young lady before I die."

Even if she dies, she wants her death to be meaningful.

We must not be like those people who were beaten to death for no reason, whose bodies were randomly exposed on straw mats and buried in random graves, with no one paying any attention and no one knowing.

Qiu Shi's eyes were filled with hatred as thick as ink.

She hated Lu Minghui.

Chunhua held Qiushi's hand and whispered anxiously, "Qiushi, don't do anything stupid."

"I have already thought of a way to get you out of the house."

Qiushi felt Chunhua's cool body temperature and became more determined, "Sister Chunhua, I won't leave the house."

"I've had severe chest pain these days."

"Maybe those silver needles have already pierced into the heart."

"It's useless to leave the house, but Sister Chunhua still has a chance."

"Sister Chunhua, please use this method on yourself."

Outrageous
