Ping`er nodded in agreement and went forward to help.
However, Mrs. Liu felt pain. After sitting up, she hurriedly shook off Liu Mengdia's hand and panted heavily: "Why did you come back again?"
The two ladies were seated in the middle of the hall. Seeing Liu Mengdia wait on the Mrs. Liu politely, they turned and looked at him with their eyes.
The Princess Anyang only stared coldly at her, and did not say much. The adopted daughter looked weak on the outside, but she was extremely considerate to the Mrs. Liu.
But in Princess Anyang's heart, she seemed to have understood something. This adopted daughter must have thought of something after she went back, maybe because she noticed something or other and came back to check the situation.
Liu Mengdia held onto Mrs. Liu's waist, she looked around the room and scanned the surroundings, but she did not see anything suspicious.
It was likely that the entrance had been delayed for too long. Even if there were really some matters within the house, she would not be able to see them.
This was all the fault of that hateful Hong!
Liu Mengdia twisted the handkerchief in her hand, her face filled with unyielding hatred.
When she returned to the Magnificent Brocade Garden, she thought that the Mrs. Liu would really have to rest. She didn't want to disturb her, so she didn't have to wait upon the Old Granny in front of her bed.
However, the more she thought about the scene in the room, the more she felt that something was amiss.
Although there was a problem with her body when she was old, and there was no news of him at the moment, Mrs. Liu was usually healthy, so how could she get sick so suddenly?
Moreover, on this side of the Mrs. Liu, he looked weak, but it did not seem like she was really sick.
If Mrs. Liu was not really sick, then it was to avoid her, then there must be something strange in this house.
Liu Mengdia frowned, but forgot to greet the Princess Anyang's wives.
At this moment, Princess Anyang opened her mouth. "Mrs. Liu was just about to rest, the second lady came and insisted on barging in. She really is a filial child."
Mrs. Liu spoke up: "Didn't I tell you not to come to my side? It's time for you to rest. Why are you here again?"
Liu Mengdia's face changed, this was just a pretense of saying that she had disturbed Mrs. Liu's rest, but regarding Princess Anyang, Liu Mengdia did not dare be too rash.
He hurriedly stood up and greeted the other wives in accordance with etiquette. "Greetings, madams."
"Mengdia was really worried for her mother. Originally, she wanted to go to sleep, but when she closed her eyes, all she saw was his mother bedridden with sickness, making him feel uneasy. She rushed over again to serve her, and to at least have some peace of mind."
As she said that, Liu Mengdia's eyes became red, and she wiped the corner of her eyes with the handkerchief, as though she was really crying. With such a delicate appearance, it was no wonder that the people around Liu Ruyan in her previous life would be bewitched by her.
Liu Ruyan peeked her head out from behind the screen to take a look, then hurriedly shrank back.
As Liu Mengdia spoke of her concern for the Mrs. Liu, she also didn't forget to complain to the Hong.
"Hate the Hong girl, you actually stopped me in front of the courtyard, your daughter is not allowed to enter no matter what you say. Although this elder sister is now one of the most important people to the emperor, Hong is still just a little girl by this elder sister's side.
As he said that, Liu Mengdia's tears rolled down her face.
"Alright!" Mrs. Liu felt a headache from Liu Mengdia's quarreling, and immediately shouted out to stop him.
Just then, I was truly exhausted. Just as I wanted to rest on the bed, and since there are guests at home, I ordered the Hong to guard at the entrance of the courtyard. I was afraid that I would be disturbed. "She's only following my instructions. It's just that this little girl is too stubborn. She must be used to staying in the palace, so you shouldn't be too harsh on her."
Liu Mengdia still wanted to say something, that little girl from Hong was too presumptuous, to actually dare to directly block him. Although she was an adopted daughter, but in terms of reputation, she was still a daughter of the General's Mansion, how could she be so presumptuous.
Today, he had to punish that girl.
However, Princess Anyang opened her mouth first and said: "If you really were worried about your mother, you shouldn't have barged in and disturbed her rest."
"I …" Even if Liu Mengdia dared to act rashly, she would not dare to speak anymore in front of Princess Anyang and could only swallow her words down to her stomach, not daring to speak anymore.
Seeing that Liu Mengdia was smart, the Princess Anyang did not make things difficult for her and changed the topic.
"Mrs. Liu, don't worry, General Liu will definitely be safe and sound. I have a rather capable maid under my command. She has a set of massage methods, I will have her come over tomorrow to help you relax. Rest in peace and don't think too much about it. "
When Mrs. Liu heard this, he wanted to get up and send him off. However, the Princess Anyang stopped him: "Sigh, Mrs. Liu doesn't need to get off the bed. There are servants to escort me out, so I will take my leave first."
After saying that, Princess Anyang intentionally or unintentionally shot Liu Mengdia a glance, which made him look bad.
Liu Mengdia lowered her head in panic, bowed to Princess Anyang as a gift.
Huan bent her body and sent Princess Anyang and the few other wives out. Liu Mengdia and Mrs. Liu were the only ones left in the room.
Liu Ruyan who was behind the screen listened for a while, then thought that today's matter was more or less over, it was better to quickly return.
Otherwise, if the news of her leaving the palace were to spread out, it would implicate the and the other wives.
Liu Ruyan remembered that there was a secret passage to the General's Mansion. When she was young, her father had told her in person, but she had never used it.
He should still remember the location.
Right now, it was impossible to exit the hall. Forget about Liu Mengdia, the suspicious person, or even the random people in the house, if they saw anyone, they would say something. It would be perfect for them to leave through the secret passage.
Liu Ruyan listened to Liu Mengdia and the Mrs. Liu chattering in the hall, then used her hand to pick up the hem of her skirt, and quietly walked into the cubicle behind him.
The sound from the soles of his shoes had already been lowered as much as possible, so it was unlikely that Liu Mengdia would notice.
She remembered that the switch to the secret passage was somewhere on the bookshelf. Only she, her father and mother knew about this secret passage, and even if Liu Mengdia was suspicious about it, she wouldn't be able to discover anything.
Liu Ruyan fumbled around on the bookshelf a few times, using her memory, she was still able to find the switch. With a "pa da" sound, Liu Ruyan was so scared that she trembled slightly.
