Chapter 45 Ling Zixia lights incense to drive away the thrush
Wang Fu's attitude changed 180 degrees.
He flattered Ling Zixia to the utmost.
I wanted to take my heart out and show it to her.
Ling Zixia just smiled faintly.
She didn't actually ask him to change any of the furnishings.
She just said it softly.
"I appreciate the steward's kindness."
"It's just that I've always liked quietness, and I'm still used to everything in this courtyard."
"I won't bother you any more, sir."
Wang Fu understood immediately after hearing this.
He knew that Ling Zixia was giving him a way out.
He bowed quickly and said.
"Yes, yes, that's what Auntie said."
"Then I will not disturb your rest."
"If my aunt has any instructions, just send someone to call me at any time."
After he finished speaking, he said goodbye and left.
But just as he was about to turn around.
A clear and somewhat arrogant voice.
It came from the gate of the courtyard.
"Where is Steward Wang going?"
"Have you completed what Madam instructed?"
The words fell.
Li Ruolan's trusted maid Huamei.
Leading two little maids, she walked into the yard slowly.
Huamei was wearing a light red silk dress today.
She wore a hairpin made of red gold and kingfisher feathers on her head.
She was dressed more elegantly than many other young ladies in other mansions.
Her face was delicately made up.
Lift your chin slightly.
He looks like a fox taking advantage of the power of another.
She was obviously sent by Li Ruolan to monitor Wang Fu's work.
When Wang Fu saw Huamei, his expression changed slightly.
He quickly put on a smile and greeted him.
"It's the thrush girl."
"What brings you here?"
Huamei glanced at him sideways.
Her eyes passed over Wang Fu.
It fell on the intact old wooden bed in the bedroom.
There was a flicker of displeasure in her eyes.
"Butler Wang, why does it look to me like this bed is still here, perfectly fine?"
"Madam has specifically instructed that Concubine Ling should be given a top-quality step-out bed."
"You are not... ignoring the lady's words?"
There was a clear questioning tone in her words.
A trace of cold sweat broke out on Wang Fu's forehead.
On one side is a living god who can save his life.
On one side is the extremely powerful mistress.
He can't afford to offend any of them.
He could only explain reluctantly.
"The Thrush Girl misunderstood."
"Yes...it's Aunt Ling who's nostalgic and can't bear to part with this bed."
"I am just about to go back and report this to Madam and make a decision."
Huamei sneered.
"Madam?"
"Madam's order is to change your bed. What's there to report?"
"Manager Wang, did you receive some kind of favor that would allow you to act so hypocritically?"
Her words were extremely serious.
Wang Fu's face instantly turned the color of liver.
He hurriedly defended himself.
"Miss Thrush, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want!"
"This old servant is loyal to the Prime Minister and his wife, and heaven and earth can bear witness to this!"
But Huamei ignored his explanation.
She went straight into the bedroom.
She shouted at the two bewildered servants.
"What are you two still standing there for?"
"Didn't you hear Madam's orders?"
"Tear down this broken bed!"
The two servants were scolded by her.
I was scared to death.
They looked at Wang Fu.
He looked at the thrush again.
In the end, he chose to obey Huamei's orders.
After all, Huamei represents the mistress Li Ruolan.
The two of them walked towards the old wooden bed again.
Seeing this, Qing'er stepped forward to stop him again.
"Thrush girl, you can't do this!"
Huamei pushed Qing'er away.
"Get out of here! Do you, a lowly girl like you, have the right to speak here?"
The two maids behind her also stepped forward immediately.
They held Qing'er's arms on the left and right.
Make her unable to move.
I saw that the two servants were about to attack the wooden bed.
A hint of cold murderous intent flashed in Ling Zixia's eyes.
But her face still maintained that weak and helpless look.
She suddenly started coughing violently.
The cough was heart-wrenching.
It felt like I was going to suffocate at any moment.
She held onto the corner of the table, her body swaying.
"Ahem...you...you shouldn't..."
Her voice was broken by coughing.
Thrush looked at her like this.
A hint of smug satisfaction flashed in his eyes.
She just wanted to see Ling Zixia suffer.
Seeing the things she held most dear destroyed.
"Auntie Ling, please save your energy."
"We have decided to change this bed today."
As she spoke, she winked at the two servants.
"Get started!"
Just when the two servants' hands were about to touch the edge of the bed.
Ling Zixia suddenly stopped coughing.
She said in an extremely weak voice.
“Forget it… Forget it…”
"Since it is Madam's order, I... dare not disobey."
"It's just... I've been weak since childhood, and I can't stand the smell of sawdust."
"Please... please, Miss Huamei, let me take shelter in the yard first."
As she spoke, she coughed violently again.
It felt like I would faint at any moment.
Huamei sneered in her heart when she heard this.
She just thought it was Ling Zi-Xia accepted her fate.
He waved his hand impatiently.
"Go ahead."
"So that when we dismantle the bed later, your precious jade Buddha won't get choked."
Ling Zixia was supported by Qing'er.
He staggered towards the door.
Just when she passed by Huamei.
In her cuffs.
Something tiny slipped down silently.
The thing fell to the ground.
No sound was made.
Huamei and others did not notice it either.
Ling Zi-Xia was supported by Qing'er and walked to the stone bench in the yard and sat down.
Her back was to the bedroom.
It seemed as if I really couldn't bear to watch the bed being dismantled.
Inside the bedroom.
Huamei watched the two servants fight with pride.
The two servants lifted the bed board.
About to move it away.
A strange aroma.
Suddenly it filled the room.
The fragrance is a bit light when you first smell it.
With a hint of grass and trees.
But soon.
The fragrance became stronger and stronger.
It's getting sweeter and sweeter.
It was as if countless kinds of flowers were blooming in the room at the same time.
Huamei and her servants couldn't help but take a deep breath.
They just thought the fragrance was very pleasant.
It makes people feel refreshed when they hear it.
My mood also became happier.
"What smells so good?"
asked Huathrush doubtfully.
A little maid beside her said with a smile.
"Maybe it's the incense from Aunt Ling."
"It smells really good."
Huamei curled her lips in disdain.
"What good fragrance can a daughter of a criminal use?"
Although she said so.
But I couldn't help but take two more puffs.
However, they did not find out.
As they inhaled more and more fragrance.
On their faces.
An abnormal blush began to appear on their faces.
His eyes also began to become a little blurry.
The servant who was dismantling the bed.
The movement suddenly stopped.
He looked at his companion's face.
Suddenly he laughed foolishly.
"Hey, why is your face so red?"
The other servant also looked at him with a silly smile.
"Your face is also red, like a monkey's butt."
When Huamei heard what they said, she frowned.
She was about to scold.
But suddenly I felt an unbearable itch on my face.
She subconsciously reached out to grab it.
The more I scratch, the more itchy it becomes.
The two little maids beside her also began to scratch their faces frantically.
"It's itchy! My face is itchy!"
"Me too! It's so itchy!"
The room was instantly in chaos.
Huamei and others seemed to be crazy.
They scratched their faces with their nails.
Soon, their originally exquisite makeup was ruined.
Bright red bloodstains appeared on his face.
But they seemed not to feel the pain.
Just kept shouting that it was itchy.
He even started tearing his clothes.
His behavior is no different from that of a madman.
Wang Fu stood at the door and watched this strange scene.
I was so scared that I was shaking all over and sweating profusely.
He knows.
This must be the trick of Aunt Ling.
He subconsciously turned his head and looked towards the yard.
I saw Ling Zixia still sitting quietly on the stone bench.
With your back to them.
It seemed as if he was unaware of what was happening in the room.
But Wang Fu felt.
That weak back.
This moment is more terrifying than any monsters or demons.
He had no doubt.
If I had really taken apart the bed just now.
His current fate would definitely be a hundred times more miserable than that of Huamei and others.
Just then.
Ling Zixia slowly stood up.
She turned around.
"Watching" the crazy scene in the bedroom.
His face showed just the right amount of fear and confusion.
she asked in a trembling voice.
"What...what happened?"
"Are the thrush girls and the others possessed by evil spirits?"
As she spoke, her eyes fell on the unassuming incense burner in the corner of the room.
A small piece of black incense cake was burning in the incense burner.
That sweet aroma emanated from there.
That was what she had "accidentally" dropped from her sleeve just now.
A kind of enchanting incense called "Infatuated Smile".
The incense itself is non-toxic.
But it can arouse the deepest desires in people's hearts.
It causes hallucinations and abnormal behavior.
She looked at Huamei's face which had become a bloody mess.
A cold smile flashed in his eyes.
She knows.
Li Ruolan's arm.
Today is completely wasted.
