Prime Minister’s Illegitimate Daughter - Chapter 6

Chu Mengli took the medicine and pretended to be happy, before thanking Mrs Bai, “Mother, you have been so orderly these past few years. You have been very good to your children, and you have been so friendly with them. Who in the capital doesn’t praise you? Who wouldn’t be jealous? We sisters naturally do not allow our parents to worry about us. ” First, I’ll give you the top hat.

When Bai Shi heard Chu Mengli’s compliment, her face became even more amiable.

“Mother, this ginseng is also timely. Coincidentally, I’ve used up most of the herbs in my courtyard. Many of them haven’t even been added yet …” Chu Mengli spoke in a low voice, her face filled with bitterness.

“This account is really muddle-headed. No matter how important Die’er’s wedding gift is, it cannot be transferred to the fourth girl’s monthly money!” With a single sentence, he had forcefully changed the extortion to borrowing. After saying so, Madame Bai sighed again, “I didn’t know that such a thing happened. It’s so plain that I let the fourth girl suffer.” The first wife blamed herself.

Chu Mengdie quickly stepped forward, “Mother, you don’t have to blame yourself. All sorts of small and large matters are handled by mother, so it’s hard to avoid negligence. Sister Four is a sensible person too. She will understand, won’t she? “Fourth sister.” Then, she turned her head to look at Chu Mengli.

Fine. Since these words have already been said by the two of you, what else do I have to say? Chu Mengli secretly rolled her eyes.

“Daughter naturally understands mother’s difficulties, not to mention that second elder sister’s age is a big matter, so we naturally have to handle it well.” Daughter naturally understand mother’s difficulties, not to mention that second elder sister’s age is a big matter, so naturally we have to handle it well. It was fine if he didn’t pay for the medicinal herbs. Your daughter needs money to get it, you don’t need any herbs, do you?

She wanted the medicinal ingredients from the large warehouse? What a joke! All of the medicinal herbs that could be collected in the warehouse were expensive, and any random one of them would be worth at least a thousand to eight hundred taels of silver. Zhang Xuan felt a little angry in his heart.

Chu Mengdie’s eyes flashed and she lowered her head, not knowing what to think.

“Oh, the fourth miss is asking for it!” “He actually thinks of the medicinal ingredients in the large warehouse.” Aunt Liu’s tone was sharp, her charming eyes slanted towards Chu Mengli.

Even if you soaked in the medicine jar for all these years, your father would still spend a lot of effort to collect all the medicinal ingredients. Even if he spent a lot of money on you, he still wouldn’t be able to see that you were any better. I think that you should stop wasting that time and just accept your fate. Chu Mengshuang also chimed in from the side.

Mother understands, my daughter has been well for a while now, but the doctor said that she will need more medication, and my daughter is unfilial. Because she did not have a good body, she let my parents worry so much that my father will be happy when he sees that my daughter will not have to sleep in bed anymore. Chu Mengli explained with a sobbing tone and used a handkerchief to wipe the tears that did not exist at the corner of her eyes.

Madame Bai’s heart was filled with anger, was she using Chu Zhennan to threaten her? If Chu Zhennan came back to find out that Chu Mengli missed the chance to recover because she didn’t have the medicine, what would he think of her?

Bai Shi suppressed the anger in her heart and smiled unnaturally, “Fourth Girl, what are you talking about. Fourth girl, what are you talking about? Your body is fine, and mother is pleased with you. Su Jin, go to my room and get two hundred silver taels for Fourth Miss.” There was no mention of taking medicinal herbs from the public storage.

“Mother, how can we accept this? We can’t accept a daughter.” Chu Mengli quickly refused.

“This child, mother told you to take it, so take it.”

Sujin took four silver ingots and wrapped them in a silver container before handing them over to Chu Mengli.

Chu Mengli seemed to be troubled as she bit her lips. After a moment of hesitation, she stretched out her hand to receive it, “Then I’ll accept this daughter.”

“Hm!” Alright, since I’m tired today, let’s disperse. Die’er, help me lie down for a while. ” Bai Shi waved her hands with a tired expression. With the support of Chu Mengdie, they entered the back hall.

“Yes sir!” Everyone agreed.

Chu Mengli brought her core and left the Gui Ning courtyard. Her face was full of excitement. Just as she was about to open her mouth to say something, she was stopped by Chu Mengli.

“We’ll talk about it when we get back.”

Cherry understood and nodded.

“Chu Mengli, stop right there.” Chu Mengshuang aggressively chased after them from behind, and blocked their path with her hand.

“What’s the matter?” Chu Mengli casually glanced at her.

“You’re just a slut born from an aunt, what right do you have to be arrogant? Hmph!” If you know what’s good for you, then hand over the ginseng and silver. ”

“Oh?” Chu Mengli stretched out her white fingers against the sunlight, “Am I the concubine’s slut?” Then what are you? At least my mother was carried in by my father in an eight-carriers palanquin. Where’s your aunt? Aren’t you worse than a bitch like me? ” Chu Mengli lowered her hand and looked at Chu Mengshuang with a smile that was not a smile.

Thinking back to that year, when the Bai clan was pregnant and could not serve Chu Zhennan, the old lady decided to give Chu Zhennan a concubine. After thinking back and forth, the Bai clan discussed with the old lady about carrying her personal maid, Liu Piao, as an concubine. After that, Madame Du had only quietly entered through the corner door. But when Shen Yi walked in, she was greeted by Chu Zhennan with a palanquin. Among the three aunts in the mansion, she was considered the most reputable.

“You bitch.” Chu Mengshuang was so angry that her face turned fierce. She waved her hand and threw a punch at Chu Mengli’s face.

Zhen’er did not hesitate to block in front of Chu Mengli. Closing her eyes, she prepared to block the attack for Chu Mengli.

Chu Mengli quickly pulled away from Chu Mengshuang and dodged her slap, “Chu Mengshuang, I advise you not to be impulsive. Otherwise, if you slap me, Madame will have wasted her time. Moreover, Father came back and saw my face, what should I say? Did I accidentally fall again? ”

“You … You … “You bitch …” Chu Mengshuang clenched her teeth in dissatisfaction. Clenching his fists.

“I say, you are a slut with your mouth wide open. Can you be any more creative? If you don’t scold me enough, I’ll have heard enough. ” Chu Mengli rolled her eyes, and with an infuriating expression, she secretly snickered from behind her back.

Chu Mengli’s eyes suddenly swept across the corner of the gate and saw a brown robe flash past. She instantly put on a pitiful appearance and timidly said, “Third Sister, this was given to me by Mother. I also need it to take care of my body, so I can’t give it to you. Third Sister has no medicine to make things difficult for my little sister, so if there’s nothing else, my little sister will be going back first.”

Chu Mengshuang had yet to recover from the effect of Chu Mengli’s change in expression when she heard a voice from her side, “Third sister, please don’t be rash!” “Otherwise, if I accidentally leaked the truth about running into a fake mountain to father, then that wouldn’t be good, hahaha …”

Chu Mengli had a bright smile on her face.

At this moment, in Madame Bai’s room, Chu Mengdie and Su Jin were half-lying on the bed waiting for her. Chu Mengdie sent Su Jin out.

“Mother, do you feel that Fourth Sister is acting a bit strange today?” Chu Mengdie sat on a round stool beside the bed.

“What’s strange? “Isn’t she just like a little girl? She’s just as obnoxious as her fox-like mother.” Bai Shi said in a bad mood. Thinking of her 200 taels of silver and Ginseng’s Qi, she felt even worse.

“If it wasn’t for your father coming back, those things wouldn’t have been taken advantage of by that little bitch.”

“But I keep having the feeling that there are some changes on Fourth Sister’s body that I can’t explain.” Chu Mengdie could not think of anything strange.

At this moment, Senior Servant Xu walked in and recounted what had just happened at the door.

When she went to prepare Mrs Bai’s lunch, she saw Chu Mengshuang standing in front of Chu Mengli, so she hid behind the door. He saw Chu Mengshuang trying to take away Chu Mengli’s belongings.

After listening to Senior Servant Xu’s description, Chu Mengdie felt that Chu Mengli’s behavior was no different from before. She had overthought things, what kind of tricks could a decadent woman like her come up with?

“This Shuang lass is the same as his mother; she has a shallow skin.” No one will be able to live up to your expectations. ” After the Bai family heard this, they spat out, “What I gave birth to was born from a servant, I really can’t show my worth.” Chu Zhennan would be back in a few days, and she only had those few things in her sight. How could she not consider the mess she had made for her and the fact that she dared to cause trouble?

Chu Mengdie and Xu mama were busy trying to help her get better.

“Mother, please don’t be angry. If you get angry, what should we do?” Chu Mengdie rubbed her chest and advised, “Moreover, her function is to pave the way for her daughter, she doesn’t need to be too outstanding. It’s just a pawn, the easier it is to control. Why would my mother be angry? ” At this moment, Chu Mengdie’s eyes were still gentle, but her words were completely different from her gentle expression.

“Yes, Madam, Second Miss is right. The more Third Miss is like that, the more it complicates things for Second Miss.” Xu mama Xu patted Madame Bai’s back.

Mrs Bai sighed, “Forget it! “You’re right.” He paused for a moment before saying, “Grandma Xu, go to the storehouse and pick out two white brocades to send to Jade Wei Garden.” Even though she was only a chess piece, she had to be comforted so that she wouldn’t have to go and cause trouble for herself.

After Senior Servant Xu left, Chu Mengdie talked to her for a while before taking an afternoon nap before leaving.
