Legitimate Daughter of the Noble Family - C159
“What!? Su Xin voted for me? ” Jin Lan’s eyes widened, his small hand under his sleeve clenching into a fist. Had she really guessed it?
Mama Tang looked at Jin Lan, who had a complicated expression on her face, and turned to Mu Lan and said: Why would I leave something like that? Furthermore, she is not tied with a hemp rope, so how can she do nothing? ”
“This servant doesn’t know either.” Mu Lan patted her chest that was moving up and down, with a look of lingering fear on her face, “How about I ask around again?” As she spoke, he lifted her foot and prepared to leave.
“There’s no need to go.” Jin Lan suddenly came back to his senses and hurriedly called out to Mu Lan. He said in a heavy voice, “From today onwards, without the orders of the old lady, no one is allowed to go to the Jiayu Hall!”
Mu Lan and Mama Tang looked at each other, although they did not understand why the lady’s expression suddenly became stern, they still nodded and replied, “Yes.”
After sending Mu Lan away, the Mama Tang closed the door and turned around to see Jin Lan sitting on top of the small Wooden Pellet, in a daze. The flickering light and shadows cast a shadow over his small face, covering it with a strange expression.
The Mama Tang suppressed the peculiar feelings in her heart and quickly poured a cup of tea for Jin Lan, then said worriedly: “Su Xin is dead, no one knows what will happen to the Concubine Shao.”
Jin Lan reached out to take a sip of the tea before saying indifferently, “That might not be the case.”
Su Xin’s death would only make the old lady think that Concubine Shao wanted to exonerate herself and kill him, and then thinking that Concubine Shao actually dares to reach her hands into her own house, to the old lady, this was the most intolerable thing.
After this incident, Concubine Shao, who originally had a slim chance of surviving, would probably die.
Jin Lan raised his head to look at the flickering candlelight. His pitch-black eyes were tainted with a layer of brilliant orange. Not only did he thoroughly understand everyone’s thoughts, he even fully utilized human nature!
The Concubine Ning was such a good method!
After a long period of silence, Mama Tang looked out the window at the night sky which was getting denser and advised, “Miss, if you want to expose more weight, you should get some rest!”
Jin Lan lowered his head, exhaling a mouthful of impure air. “Alright.”
No matter if Su Xin committed suicide or was killed, it was not her turn to worry.
The lights in the Shuixie Pavilion were gradually extinguished, but the Jiayu Hall was as bright as day.
Mama Wu commanded a few rough grandpas, who had already put down Su Xin who was hanging in the air.
“Stop playing dead!” Get up quickly! ” The guard girl slapped Su Xin hard in the face, one of them was trying to pinch him, “Wake up, don’t die!”
Their bodies were trembling non-stop, their voices faintly tinged with tears. The old lady had specially said at that time, that if anything happened to Su Xin, everyone would not be able to bear the consequences!
The fear in his heart turned into strength, the two servant girls fought again and again, and even splashed a bowl of cold water on Su Xin, but Su Xin still did not move.
Finally, Mama Wu came forward and touched her cold corpse, and frowned: “Enough, stop messing around, I’m completely dead!”
Unexpectedly, these words were like the last straw that broke the camel’s back, the two maidservants instantly went berserk, crying and shouting, their attacks on Su Xin’s corpse became even heavier.
“What are you all waiting for? Hurry up and pull them apart! ” Mama Wu was furious, she shouted at the two servants to grab them, “Lock them in the small hut at the back, wait for the old lady’s orders tomorrow!”
The women did not dare to hesitate and quickly used something to gag the two maids, then dragged them off.
Mama Wu had her hands on her waist, she coldly looked at the remaining servants and wives, and said sternly: “What happened tonight, you guys are all going to rot in my stomach! Even if you talk in your sleep at night, don’t say a word! “Otherwise …” She sneered, showing her white teeth.
The maids and wives shuddered as they replied in a low voice, “Yes!”
Only then did Mama Wu nod his head in satisfaction, “Let’s disperse!” After she finished speaking, she hurriedly walked towards the main house. However, just as she reached the door, she raised her head to look at the sky and immediately hesitated.
Ever since the incident had happened, the Old Madame Ye had been woken up. Pin Yue had already reported about Su Xin’s decision to drop the matter, but she had yet to find out the exact details. At this moment, she heard footsteps outside. She glanced at the curtain and said in a deep voice, “Come in.”
Mama Wu could only pull up the curtains and enter the house. She first returned to the woodshed to settle the matters, and then ordered the guards to deal with the maidservants.
Old Madame Ye’s expression was baffled as the bead in her hand spun uncontrollably. Inside the room, other than the crackling sound of the candles, the needle could be heard as it fell to the ground.
Pin Yue and Mama Wu lowered their eyebrows, and didn’t even dare to breathe loudly.
After a long while, as if she was a god, Old Madame Ye finally raised her eyes and sized up Mama Wu, “You mean, Su Xin committed suicide?”
Mama Wu was startled, could it be that the old lady suspects … She did not dare hesitate too long, and told him everything she had seen with her own eyes: “When I rushed over, Su Xin was already dead, the two guards’ maids were just about to remove her from the ground, no one else saw.”
Old Madame Ye squinted his eyes and a cold light flashed in his eyes, “She was tied up tightly and there are no ropes in the woodshed, how can we let her go?”
“That’s a coincidence.” The Mama Wu thought for a while, “In order to prevent moisture in the woodshed, I would usually make a few bundles of dry firewood to prevent emergencies. A few days ago, it was raining heavily and the firewood on the ground was soaked in moisture. I never thought that Su Xin would actually hang herself by stepping on the firewood. ”
Old Madame Ye’s face turned green, she leaned on the soft couch, her eyes staring straight at Mama Wu, could there really be such a coincidence? She had been in the mansion for decades, and had never seen such twists and turns. Yet, this little trick was still trying to blind her!
Mama Wu stood at the side silently, she had already said everything that needed to be said, the rest all depended on the Old Granny’s judgement.
After a while, she seemed to have made a decision in her heart. She let out a long sigh, opened her eyes and said to Mama Wu: “Is the thing that I asked you to prepare ready?”
Mama Wu’s heart trembled, and replied in a low voice: “I’m ready.”
Old Madame Ye nodded expressionlessly, “Fine, you can personally accompany me!”
Mama Wu clenched her teeth and replied: “Yes.”
Concubine Shao had long since moved from carrying Xia Xia to the west wing, when Old Madame Ye brought him in, there was only a maid waiting for him inside. Although it was not the delivery room, Concubine Shao had only just given birth to a child, and the dirty dew on her body had not stopped yet, a faint smell of blood lingered around the room.
“Old lady.” Upon seeing the newcomer, Azurewillow hurriedly curtsied.
The Concubine Shao was half lying on the bed, holding a bamboo tenderloin in her hands, the threads were flying around, and it was unknown what she was embroidering, only when the sound of the green willow came out did she regain her senses. She quickly put down what she was doing and lifted up her blanket to get out of the bed to pay her respects, “Old granny, why have you come?”
Old Madame Ye had a smile on her face as she stopped her: “Alright, your body is weak. There are no outsiders here, so there is no need to be polite.”
Seeing the old lady’s kind smile, Concubine Shao’s tensed heart relaxed, but he still saluted respectfully and stood up, “Thank you old lady.”
Old Madame Ye smiled as if she was not smiling. She looked at the bamboo block beside the bed with the wrong eyes, “This is…”
“Reporting to the old granny, this is a undergarment that this servant made for Second Young Master.” Concubine Shao picked up a bamboo stick, on top of it was a multicolored half-embroidered bat, it’s legs were fine and neat, it was extremely lifelike, and it was obvious that the person who made it was extremely skilled.
The light in Old Madame Ye’s eyes flickered slightly. The child was too old, so Shaoyin fainted when she was giving birth, and she had personally ordered the servants to seal their mouths. As a result, even the mother herself did not know what she was giving birth to.
“Old lady.” Concubine Shao caressed the embroidered lines on the satin. Suddenly, she kneeled down with a bang, raised her teary eyes and said mournfully: “This servant really did not harm Madam. Those things were all done by Su Xin alone, please enlighten me!” As he spoke, he kowtowed twice, tears streaming down his face.
The smile on Old Madame Ye’s face faded as she turned to look at the green willow at the side, “There’s an aunt’s bird’s nest porridge simmering in the kitchen, go take a look.”
Green Willow raised her head in hesitation, but when she met Mama Wu’s cold and severe gaze, she was so scared that she quickly lowered her head and quickly left the house.
The thick and heavy wooden door closed once again, leaving Old Madame Ye, Mama Wu and the other two in the room.
A trace of unease arose in Concubine Shao’s heart. She opened her mouth, but didn’t know what to say.
Old Madame Ye walked to the side and sat down with her crutches, giving Mama Wu a look.
Mama Wu went up and placed the red lacquer food box on the table. Opening the lid, she carefully took out a blue and white bowl, “Aunt, this is the medicine that the old lady specially made me to prescribe.
The white bowl was filled with half a bowl of the pitch black Medicinal Juice, which was emitting heat.
Concubine Shao stared at the medicine bowl, the uneasiness in her heart gradually increasing. She slowly stood up and forced out a smile, and said: “My body is very good, there’s no need to waste these precious things.”
The Mama Wu laughed: “What aunt said, you are now also a rich person, the old lady said, this house is very busy, there is no place without you, thus you have to prepare the medicine to help your body recover faster.”
Concubine Shao looked up at Old Madame Ye, but Old Madame Ye closed her eyes and rotated the prayer beads in her hands, her mouth seemingly mumbling something.
“Auntie, you have to drink this medicine while it’s hot to be effective.” Mama Wu raised his medicine bowl and brought it to Concubine Shao’s mouth.
A strong smell of medicine entered her nose. Concubine Shao was startled, without thinking much, she raised her hand and swept towards the bowl.
The blue and white bowl fell onto the ground and shattered into pieces. The majority of the Medicinal Juice in the bowl landed on Mama Wu’s body and dripped onto the ground.
Concubine Shao breathed a sigh of relief in her heart. However, when she touched Mama Wu’s miserable state and saw Old Madame Ye’s ashen face, she immediately said in panic: “This … This servant deserves to die!”
Mama Wu was expressionless, and said indifferently: “There’s no rush, luckily there are a lot of medicinal frying, there’s still some left.” As she said that, she turned around and reopened the food box. Inside was a double layered plate, with a blue and white flower bowl placed underneath it. It was slightly smaller than the previous bowl, but the Medicinal Juice inside looked almost the same.
Who would specially fry two bowls of medicine? Concubine Shao looked at Old Madame Ye, a flash of understanding appeared in her mind, the color of her face immediately withdrew!
