Although Li Man'er didn't know what Xiao Qiniang's purpose was, she had always been on guard against Xiao Qiniang. When she heard Xiao Qiniang asking about things in the palace, she immediately turned on all her radars.
"How should I put it? The palace is not a place for people to act recklessly. Miss Xiao Qi also knows that I am always informal. If I go to the palace, I am afraid that I will bump into the nobles and my life will be in danger. So I went to my aunt
When I was in the palace, she was also detained in the palace and couldn't go anywhere."
Xiao Qiniang heard her every word with a sense of defensiveness, and couldn't help but frown slightly, "Miss Li, you don't have to be like this, I just asked casually. I was born in Mobei since I was a child, and I have never left.
Here, all I see is the desolate Gobi, so I just wanted to ask you about the prosperity of Beijing."
Li Maner's almond-shaped eyes widened, as if he didn't quite believe what she said.
Miss Xiao Qi couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, and said to herself: "It's my lack of knowledge that makes this girl laugh. Why don't you tell me what it's like in Beijing?"
Have you already started cheating on yourself in order to get information from her?
Li Man'er only said: "If you want to expand your knowledge, the anecdotes in the capital are enough. Why bother to inquire about the affairs of the palace?"
She was so rude that Xiao Qiniang choked for a moment and didn't know how to answer.
Li Man'er relaxed her posture and began to talk about the prosperity of the capital. What she said were all interesting insights, and the content was quite lively, but there was not a word about the major aristocratic families, and naturally there was nothing that Xiao Qiniang wanted to hear.
of.
Seeing Xiao Qiniang's face getting darker and darker, Li Man'er secretly laughed in his heart, but said he was disgusted.
"You, you, didn't you say you wanted to hear about the prosperity of the capital? Why did I say it, but I was like a hundred people dissatisfied. I have already talked about all the delicious and fun things in the capital, and my lips have become thin. Why don't you still?
satisfy."
"No, the girl misunderstood." Xiao Qiniang only said: "I just have a headache."
"Have a headache? No wonder you look so bad."
Probably because Li Man'er finally said something humane, a faint smile appeared on Xiao Qiniang's face.
Before this smile could last long, Li Man'er said again, "Don't you think Miss Xiao Qi will prepare for Miss Xing'er's funeral?"
Xiao Qiniang's face turned dark immediately. She really didn't want to pick up the pot. Xing'er was a slave. Although she was accidentally killed by herself, she just gave her a thin coffin and found a place to bury it.
Funeral, how did Li Maner have the nerve to say these three words?
If this funeral is held, the Xiao family will lose all face.
"Miss Li, please be careful what you say." When it comes to Xing'er, Xiao Qiniang is not sad or sad, but the sadness and sadness are not so important compared to her own face.
"Oh~" Li Man'er smiled meaningfully, "That's right. A slave's life is worthless. Just roll it up with a straw mat and throw it out. Digging a shallow pit to bury someone is considered a good person. If you encounter someone with a bad heart, just throw it away.
It’s not unusual for people to be dumped in mass graves.”
"what do you want to say in the end?"
Li Man'er said quietly: "I am reminding Miss Qi that if a person does something wrong, there will be retribution." She glanced gently at Miss Xiao Qi's back and quickly withdrew her gaze.
But just such a fleeting glance made Xiao Qiniang feel cold all over her body, and all the hairs on her body stood up.
Her girl Zhuyu was standing on her left, and there was no one else in the room except her, Zhuyu, and Li Maner's master and servant. So why was Li Maner looking behind her?
Is there someone behind her?
Xiao Qiniang's heart skipped a beat and she was about to sweat.
The ancients were superstitious and believed in ghosts and gods. Xiao Qiniang felt guilty as a thief and wondered whether Li Maner had seen something.
She couldn't stop thinking about this kind of thing randomly. Xiao Qiniang felt her neck hurt and her shoulders felt heavy, as if something was lying on her body.
Could it be Xing'er's ghost?
Xiao Qiniang's heart tightened, her vision went dark, and she almost fainted.
"Girl." Zhuyu quickly stretched out her hand to support her, "Are you okay, girl?"
Xiao Qiniang fell into Zhuyu's arms, took a few breaths and then said: "Juyu, help me back."
"Yes!" Zhuyu glared at Li Man'er fiercely before helping Xiao Qiniang to go out. Several women who had followed them were standing outside the door. They were all shocked when they saw Xiao Qiniang's appearance.
Startled, he quickly carried the person back.
Xiao Qiniang fell ill when she returned home and developed a high fever. She took medicine but had little effect and could not go away at all.
Zhuyu was so angry that she immediately ran to Li Maner's yard and asked her what kind of medicine she had given Xiao Qiniang and why their girl's illness was so aggressive and dangerous.
"Is there something wrong with you? After your girl entered the house, did she drink a sip of my water and eat a grain of rice? How could she be poisoned if she didn't eat or drink? Besides, what if I really ordered something in the house?
It's shameful to see someone's fragrance, why are you fine, I'm fine, my maid is fine, but it's the seventh girl in your family who's in trouble."
Zhuyu was furious, "Who knows what tricks you used on our girl."
Liu Ya immediately defended her master and stepped forward and said: "Miss Qi clearly has a guilty conscience. She was fine before, but when she mentioned Miss Xing'er, she felt something wrong. Her face turned pale and she was covered in sweat. She almost fainted. What happened to Miss Xing'er?
No, everyone knows it well, your girl is covered in sweat, and the wind blew when she went out, it’s no wonder she doesn’t fall ill."
"You..." Zhuyu also knew that what Liu Ya said was the truth. She couldn't help but think about what was wrong with her master that day, and she felt uncertain.
Li Man'er said: "Instead of arguing with me here, why don't you go to the temple to pray for peace and blessings for your master, and then donate some sesame oil money to Miss Xing'er for salvation, and maybe the seventh girl will be fine. Heart disease
You still need a heart-warming medicine doctor. If Miss Xing'er embarks on the path of reincarnation, your girl's illness will be cured."
Juyu was somewhat convinced at first, but after hearing Li Man'er's words, she became even more convinced. She didn't care about causing trouble for Li Man'er, and left quickly with the people. She had to quickly ask for a peace charm for the girl.
, and then ask the eminent monk to perform a ritual for Xing'er, so that she can be reborn as soon as possible.
As soon as Cornel left, Liu Ya couldn't help but ask, "Girl, what else do you want?" Although Liu Ya didn't explain, Li Man'er also understood what they meant.
"Be good at it!" They are occult doctors. In addition to treating diseases and saving people, studying herbal medicines and poisons, they also have to study some occult aspects.
Some people are proficient, while others have only scratched the surface, and each has his or her own strengths.
Li Man'er's attainments in metaphysics are, how should I put it, better than a dabbler! But it is more than enough to fool these people.
