Chapter 5

Before You See

Xin You wiped the medicine juice at the corner of her lips and asked quietly: "Who cooked the medicine today?"

"I took it up, and then I let Jiang Shuang guard it-" Xiaolian's expression changed, "Is there something wrong with this medicine?"

Xin You shook her head: "I don't know if there is any problem, I just think the taste is a bit different."

Aunt Xia serves her mother's diet, cooks good food, and makes her tongue tricky. The difference in taste may not be that there is a problem with the medicine, but in this Shaoqing Mansion, which is murderous everywhere, she has to be more cautious.

"The medicine residue is still there?"

"Yesterday's medicine residue made Jiang Shuang fall on the wall and flowers, and today's one has not been cleaned up." Xiao Lian's expression became more and more nervous, and he had already determined that there was something wrong with the medicine.

Xin You thought for a while and asked, "Does Miss Kou have savings?"

"some."

Xin You whispered: "I quietly cleaned up the medicine residue, and went to a small clinic far away from Shaoqing's mansion on the grounds of buying candied fruit for me, and took some money to the doctor's palm..."

Xiaolian nodded while listening, first dealt with the medicine juice, and then arranged errands for Wan Qingju's servants. While these people were busy, they put away the medicine residue and went out of the mansion.

"This, why did this make--" Madam Li still refused, looking at a loss.

"These are all girls." Xiaolian couldn't hide her complacent face, "There are still a few boxes of good materials, all in the west room."

To put it bluntly, the scholarly family of Shaoqing's mansion is not rich enough, and the second wife Zhu, as a concubine's daughter-in-law, cannot touch the housekeeper's family. This visiting ceremony is valuable.

The keys were always in her hands for those boxes and cages containing gold and silver jewelry.

Duan Yunyan is only ten years old, and she is very lively and talkative, but she is so unfamiliar with her cousin who has lived in Shaoqing's mansion for four years. I don't know if it's because of the age difference that I can't play with, or the advice of the adults.

"Qingqing is better today?" Compared to his low-key appearance in the old lady's house yesterday, Zhu's lips are a little more amiable.

Although Xiaolian was unhappy with Xin You's different treatment of Madam Li, she was very neat and took Madam Li's hand to put it on for her: "Since it is a girl's reward, Madam Li should not refuse, try it out if it's suitable."

"Girl, how did you know there is a silver ring?" Xiaolian asked another question.

After the four of them left, Xiaolian asked in confusion: "Why do girls admire Madam Li alone?"

Without others, Xiaolian no longer hides the fear in her heart and says tremblingly: "Girl, the medicine...is something wrong!"

"How is it?" Xin You already knew what she said.

Jiangshuang bent her knees: "My maid is called Jiangshuang. She is usually responsible for cleaning up the house and doing some chores that Sister Xiaolian ordered."

Xin You watched coldly, and the two little maids were not talking about it. The eyes of Wang's mother staring at Madam Li showed jealousy.

After Xin You was silent for a moment, she asked, "Is that the only one?"

Even if you win people's hearts, you don't have to deal with a rough old woman.

Some people always think that her girl is dependent on others. In fact, her family’s family is much richer than the girls in the house.

"Go."

"Drink a little water and talk slowly."

Madam Li was shocked: "Miss, I can't do it, I can't do it--"

Soon, two servants and two little maids appeared in front of Xin You.

The fourth girl Duan Yunyan stood beside her mother, and when she entered the room, she just called out Cousin Qing and then stopped talking.

"My aunt Lao Er is concerned about it. I just took the medicine and feel it's much better."

The girl pointed like spring onion, fair and slender, but empty without any ornaments. Xiaolian thought of Madam Li's fat fingers again, and couldn't help but show a look that was hard to describe.

"Girl——" Xiaolian was confused and angry on her face.

"You must have heard of it. I fell to my head after falling off the cliff, and I couldn't remember some things for a while. I didn't care about it yesterday, so I'll introduce myself today." Xin You looked at the little maid named Jiangshuang first.

Xin You looked at her eyes and said in a gentle voice: "Madam Li is not young, wouldn't it be hard to do rough work?"

Xin You smiled when she heard this: "I think Miss Kou won't even have a silver ring."

There is actually someone in Shaoqing’s mansion who wants to harm the girl!

Xiaolian was stunned and quickly walked to the edge of the cabinet to open the cage. After a little hesitation, she took a plain silver ring from a dozen rings of different materials and sizes.

Xin You signaled the little maid to open the gifts brought by Zhu. In addition to a few ordinary supplements, there was also a piece of Laoshan ginseng.

"You have said that Miss Kou's grandfather had accumulated a fortune from business in troubled times, but he had only one son. Miss Kou's father studied and became an official and became a prefect, and there was only Miss Kou's daughter. Four years ago, Miss Kou's mother entrusted an orphan to send Miss Kou to Beijing. Where did the two generations of the Kou family go?"

Xin You's heart moved.

After listening silently, Xin You's expression did not change: "Call everyone in Wan Qingju."

Xiaolian grabbed the cup and took a few sips of water. She held the cup's fingertips and couldn't control her trembling: "The doctor checked the medicine residue. Today, there was one more ingredient in the medicine. Although it also had analgesic effects, it was incompatible with this prescription for regulating qi and nourishing blood. If the weak take it, it would cause abdominal pain and vomiting, and if it was severe, it would cause death from coma..."

"Thank you for your hard work in Madam Li."

Xiaolian was stunned, her expression gradually changed from confusion to horror, and she murmured: "I, I don't know..."

When she met those dark eyes, Xiaolian felt clear and bent her knees: "Yes."

"I just think Mama Li's hands are quite suitable for wearing rings." Xin You stroked her fingers.

Xin You feels in a good mood.

Next, the old lady and the eldest lady came to visit one after another. Xiaolian came back at noon.

"That's good. Take the medicine on time and you'll get better soon..." Zhu told me warmly, and sat down for a while and took my daughter away.

Xiaolian couldn't help but be stunned, looking at the box of treasures, hesitated: "Are these... few?"

The younger servant said, "The old slave is responsible for cleaning the yard. The girl used to be called Lao Nu Wang's mother."

Madam Li hurriedly said, "Miss is a damn old slave. These tasks are used to being done by the old slave. Just don't mind the old slave being clumsy."

The master of the hands turned out to be far away from the sky and close to him.

"How could it be?" Xin You glanced at Xiao Lian, "Xiao Lian, bring that silver ring."

Due to the growth environment, Xin You lived a free and easy life, but at this time she had to think more.

Not long after Xiaolian left the house, the little maid came to report that the second wife and the fourth girl were here.

The maid who spoke at the end looked like a fifty-year-old, looking at her honest and honest: "The old slave husband's name is Li, and he does rough work in the yard."

Seeing this, Xin You couldn't help but sigh.

The box is full of exquisite ornaments suitable for girls to wear, and the hairpin and jade decorations in the box are valuable at first glance.

Another little maid said, "My maid is Hanxue, who is guarding the gate and running errands for the girl."

Xiaolian was silent and struggled a few times. She first carried the box on the dressing table, then moved two cages from the cabinet and opened them one by one.

Xiaolian, who accompanied Kou Qingqing to Beijing four years ago, was only eleven years old, so it was not surprising that she knew nothing about these things.

However, there are always people who know it.
