Chapter 180: The Second Wife is also a Poor Person
The girl glanced at Gu Feixue, then grabbed her hand and said, "From now on, this girl will serve me in the courtyard. Let's go."
From everyone's respectful attitude towards this girl, it can be inferred that this girl is their second wife.
Everyone looked at Gu Feixue, who was also confused, but now that she was rescued, she could only follow behind the Second Madam.
The second wife is called Zhang Xueyue. She is not very old, but she has a lot of experience. She was married here by her father when she was thirteen years old. Six years have passed since she got married.
Zhang Xueyue is now nineteen years old. She has hardly seen her master in the past few years.
She was rescued by Gu Feixue the afternoon before yesterday. She remembered this girl and didn't expect to meet her again today.
"Thank you, ma'am, for saving me. They are such a vicious bunch."
"Oh, why bother with them? I didn't realize you were our servant. From now on, just follow me closely and don't get close to them. I'll protect you."
"Okay."
Make the fake become real.
But it’s okay. Being a maid here means I can get food.
"How is Madam's health?" Gu Feixue half-knelt in front of Zhang Xueyue.
Zhang Xueyue pursed her lips and smiled, "Be good, good boy, I'm fine."
"But Madam, please don't take it lightly. The venom of the five-step snake is very powerful and there may be sequelae. My family specializes in snake venom, and I have been learning how to do it since I was a child. I observe Madam's complexion and it seems that the poison has not been completely eliminated. Therefore, it needs to be treated with medicine."
Thanks to Gu Feixue's help, she survived.
Reminded by Gu Feixue again, she smiled and said, "Then just prescribe some medicine for me and I'll use it."
No one would prescribe medicine for you. She was preparing to make some potion for Yuchi Shuo.
She found what she needed, and then casually made some Huangbai's gunpowder for the second wife. Zhang Xueyue ate it all up with a slurry.
"How do you feel, Madam?" Gu Feixue asked seriously.
"I don't feel anything." Zhang Xueyue frowned.
But at the same time, I thought that this girl should not be a person who gets her reputation in vain, after all, she had dealt with the snake venom so powerfully before.
Gu Feixue looked at her and said with a smile, "Just proceed step by step, and everything will be fine soon."
Zhang Xueyue could only nod.
But we cannot take this matter lightly.
The two of them started chatting, and Gu Feixue finally figured out that the husband was a businessman. "He travels all year round, who knows where he is? His husband only comes back every few days to reunite with his wife, but we may not even see each other for two or three years. It's really miserable."
"this……"
Gu Feixue looked at Zhang Xueyue and saw that she looked haggard and had an exaggerated expression.
Then he said, "It seems that you... don't... you are favored?"
"Favored?" Zhang Xueyue twitched the corner of her mouth. "You're really bringing up all sorts of things. My husband only comes home once in a while, and when he comes back, he goes to Wu Yuemei's room. What does that have to do with me?"
"Wu Yuemei?"
Gu Feixue figured out the situation. The Wu Yuemei that Zhang Xueyue mentioned was either a concubine or the first lady.
Seeing Gu Feixue like this, Zhang Xueyue could only sigh, "I've been through hell and hardship. If you hadn't saved me that day, it wouldn't have been such a bad thing if I had died."
"Look at this, madam. What kind of ridiculous logic is this?"
She was a self-reliant person, so she didn't like people with excessive negativity, especially a woman like her who possessed both gold and silver jewelry and a stunning face. "Madam, don't give up on yourself. Life is already miserable. We should show others what we can do."
"Hey," Zhang Xueyue frowned slightly, "How can a little kid like you know this?"
After lunch, Gu Feixue also left.
She found something to eat. The food was exquisite and delicious. With permission, she packed up a variety of side dishes and food. When it was dark, she left.
When they arrived at the ancient tomb, Yuchi Shuo was already getting a little impatient. Seeing Gu Feixue arrive, he hurried over to greet her.
"What have you been up to? You haven't been seen in the afternoon?"
"I went to get some food, worried that you would be hungry." Gu Feixue thought that Yuchi Shuo would come up to her and ask about her well-being, but she had no idea that when they met, he would actually scold her.
She felt very aggrieved, but still smiled and handed the food over.
She did all this silently. Yuchi Shuo, perhaps sensing that the atmosphere was not right, adjusted his tone and said, "I shouldn't have spoken so loudly to you, but... I am worried about you after all."
"I told you I'm fine. I'm so smart. What can they do to me?"
Gu Feixue explained.
Yuchi Shuo nodded. She had already eaten, and now he was keeping her company. Yuchi Shuo was really hungry, so he ate very voraciously. Seeing that Gu Feixue was staring at him stupidly, he passed half a chicken next to him to her.
"You and I will each eat half."
"No, I've already eaten."
After finishing the sweep, Gu Feixue wrapped the remaining food in lotus leaves and then slowly spoke, "You still need to rest recently. I got some herbs from the family in front of the white wooden door today, so we have food and drink."
"Is it safe?" Yuchi Shuo asked anxiously.
Gu Feixue nodded, "It's safe, how can it not be safe?"
In fact, it is no longer safe to show up in public.
Gu Feixue continued, "I've applied for a maid's position today. I'll be bringing you food every day at noon and evening. As for this medicine, I've made it into a paste. You can apply it yourself. Do you need me to tell you how to use it and the dosage?"
"What? You want to leave me?" Yuchi Shuo jumped up, a strong sadness coming over him.
Seeing his serious look, Gu Feixue hurriedly said, "Why would I leave you? We can't live here forever. Besides, we need to eat and drink enough."
Yuchi Shuo compromised.
"Today I was in trouble, and you never left me to take care of me and protect me. I am deeply grateful. From now on, no matter what happens to you, I will be your first step." Hearing this, Gu Feixue smiled peacefully, "Get some rest."
The next day, the sun was shining brightly. Gu Feixue got up and hurried to the palace.
She thought the Second Madam had gotten up, but when she entered the backyard, she found that she was still sleeping soundly. She was relieved. When the Second Madam got up, it was already noon. Gu Feixue not only cleaned the house, but also went back and forth between the ancient tomb and the palace to deliver food to Yuchi Shuo.
Yuchi Shuo's condition has improved a lot recently.
"You said I..." The second wife stood up and looked at herself in the mirror. After looking at herself from all angles, she began to feel nervous and weak. "Do you think I am old and ugly?"
