Chapter 538 I won’t let you go so easily this time
Xingxing was sitting on a small couch in the inner room a few steps away from the bunk bed, which was quite close to the unconscious old lady.
Without asking anyone else, Nanny Qingluan personally brought a few pillows to Xingxing and made the small couch soft, trying her best to make Xingxing comfortable.
The maids brought in plates of fruit and snacks one after another. Each fruit was cut into small pieces, and each snack was bite-sized. A small silver fork was placed next to each plate, so that Xingxing could eat comfortably.
Although it is already the end of March, the elderly are always afraid of cold, so the house is still warm with the heating on.
Xing Xing took off her outer shirt and put on a small shirt suitable for home use. She sat on the small couch, flipping through a book with a calm look on her face.
The book she was reading was a strange story, which was secretly recommended to her by a little girl in the palace. The little girl looked strange at the time and told her mysteriously that she must read the book during the day, otherwise she might be scared to death if she read it at night.
She also specifically instructed that if she was scared, she should let the maid sleep with her, and that's what she did!
Although Xingxing didn't understand at the time, she still nodded respectfully to indicate that she would.
Just now, Da Xi Si Po returned to the Zhenxi General's Mansion. Xing Xing's maid Zhaoying helped pack up some of Xing Xing's daily belongings, a few storybooks she was reading, and some clothes, and brought them back with her.
Xingxing picked up the book, which was said to be a very scary weird story, and started flipping through it.
It’s just that Xingxing thinks the script of this play is indeed very well written, but what’s so scary about it?
Even those illustrations of evil spirits seemed interesting to Xingxing and not scary at all.
Xingxing looked calm and relaxed.
However, the maid who came to pour tea accidentally glanced at the illustration, her face turned pale and she screamed in fright, and the tea spilled onto Xingxing's sleeve.
Nanny Qingluan immediately strode over, looked at the maid with great displeasure, and scolded her in a low voice: "You are so clumsy, what a mess!"
The maid knelt on the ground and apologized tremblingly.
Xing Xing didn't mind it too much: "It's okay, I'll just go change my clothes."
She stood up and wanted to go out to change her clothes, but Nanny Qingluan hurriedly called her "County Lady" and looked at the old lady of Duke Xin who was still unconscious on the bed, looking a little embarrassed.
Xingxing understood it all at once.
Right now, the old lady of Duke Xin hasn't woken up yet, and Nanny Qingluan must want her to stay in this room as long as possible.
Xing Xing said, "Then please ask Madam Qingluan to bring me a screen."
Nanny Qingluan was overjoyed and agreed immediately. She quickly asked the maid to move the screen over to provide a temporary barrier for Xingxing, while Xingxing changed her clothes inside.
Nanny Qingluan was truly grateful to Xingxing: "The country lord is so sensible, kind and generous. When our old lady wakes up, I will go to the temple to set up a longevity tablet for the country lord."
This is what Yu Mingzhu heard when she came in with a scroll of scriptures.
Her expression was stiff, and it took her a while to recover. She came over slowly and said to Qingluan Mammy with a pious look: "Mammy, I am not blessed enough to be with grandma. Now I can only write a disaster-eliminating auspicious mantra for grandma, and prepare to offer it in front of the Buddha, praying that grandma will wake up soon."
Nanny Qingluan looked at Yu Mingzhu lovingly and was about to say something when she noticed that there was something strange about Yu Mingzhu's right index finger and her expression changed slightly.
Yu Mingzhu seemed to notice Nanny Qingluan's gaze and hid her hands behind her back in panic.
Aunt Qingluan sighed: "Miss, you are..."
Yu Mingzhu's eyes were filled with tears, and she choked up and said, "Madam Qingluan, my grandmother is ill, and I am very worried. But I am not blessed enough to do anything for her. I can only write this auspicious mantra with my blood. I will place it in front of the small Buddhist temple. I hope that my grandmother can recover soon."
Nanny Qingluan looked deeply moved and speechless.
Yu Mingzhu looked at Xingxing again, with a very earnest look on her face: "Mr. Fusui, I am sorry to bother you with my grandmother. Although I had some minor conflicts with Mr. Fusui in the past, I would like to apologize to you here. I hope you will forgive me and not let my grandmother's health be affected by our affairs."
As he spoke, Yu Mingzhu bowed deeply to Xingxing.
At first glance, Yu Mingzhu's tone was sincere, her words were frank, and her words were touching. She was truly a good and filial girl.
Xingxing on the opposite side seemed like she might seek revenge privately.
But whether the old lady of Duke Xin can wake up is not something that Xingxing can control personally.
However, Yu Mingzhu made it seem that the old lady of Duke Xin could not wake up, which meant that Xingxing did not forgive Yu Mingzhu and deliberately harmed the old lady of Duke Xin.
Xingxing's beautiful eyebrows wrinkled.
She has a gentle and well-behaved personality, but she is not a pushover.
He immediately asked Yu Mingzhu very straightforwardly: "Miss Yu, do you mean to blame me for the fact that the old lady of Duke Xin can't wake up?"
Xing Xing looked at Aunt Qingluan again and said seriously, "Aunt Qingluan, Grandma Daxi has already told you about this."
Nanny Qingluan had already frowned slightly after hearing what Yu Mingzhu said. When Xingxing pointed it out directly, she immediately said, "Don't blame me, my lord. It was our eldest lady who said the wrong thing."
Nanny Qingluan turned her head and looked at Yu Mingzhu. "My lady, Lord Fusui is willing to use his own good fortune to help the old lady get rid of the disaster. This shows that Lord Fusui is kind-hearted. You shouldn't presume to speculate about Lord Fusui based on your own grudges with him. This is wrong."
Yu Mingzhu looked at Nanny Qingluan in disbelief.
No, this old woman, how dare you do this? !
Didn't she just return a scripture written in blood, which moved her?
Why did she turn her face and disown me now, and lecture me like this? !
Yu Mingzhu lowered her head in humiliation and clenched her palms. Although she was very angry, she could not hear any resentment in her tone: "... Mr. Fusui, I was worried about my grandmother's health just now. I said the wrong thing in a hurry. Please forgive me."
Xing Xing said very seriously: "Why should I forgive you just because you apologize? Miss Yu, this is not the first time you have used words to annoy me. I am also reflecting on whether I was too easy to talk to before, which is why you repeatedly use some specious words to annoy me? So this time I will not let you go so easily."
After hearing these words, Yu Mingzhu's teeth started to creak.
Xingxing stood up and walked out.
Aunt Qingluan was shocked: "Mr. Fusui, where are you going?"
Xing Xing said seriously: "Madam Qingluan, according to what Miss Yu said, I am really worried. If something goes wrong, Miss Yu will cry and say something, blaming her, blaming her for having a grudge against me and her, so she harmed the health of the old lady of Duke Xin. It's so meaningless, I might as well leave now, and let your family choose someone else!"
