Mother hugged me tightly and lowered her head, no longer looking at Aunt Wang. "I'll send Chong'er back first."
Unlike her mother's usual high-pitched voice, her voice was low and seemed to be choked with sobs.
Aunt Wang's eyes were slightly red as she stared blankly at my mother holding my hand. For a moment, she seemed to be stuck in a nightmare.
With just a glance, one could tell that this maid had long since become a woman.
He only said that she was his daughter-in-law and that she was wearing clothes that were too extravagant and bright. However, who would be in the same room as their concubine?
Anything related to this Aunt Wang revealed a hint of oddness!
Aunt Wang's eyes were slightly red. She tugged at the woman's sleeve and mumbled something as if she still had more to say. The woman gave her mother a meaningful glance before tugging at Aunt Wang. "Aunt, you're confused!"
His mother smiled in relief and patted his aunt's hand. "Don't worry! Take Aunt back to her room to rest! " The last sentence he said was to instruct the maidservant.
The woman flashed a bright smile, bowed, and said, "Madam, please take care." He slowly supported Aunt Chen back to her room.
"Let's go back as well!" My mother pulled at me. "How are you? Do you need a doctor to come in and take a look? "
"Don't worry." I tugged on my wind pocket and couldn't help but laugh at myself. It was still hard for me to throw away my cowardly nature even if I were to be reborn as a human. So many strange things were happening, but I was obsessed with my previous life.
My mother escorted me to the gate and back to the main house.
At night, the maidservant in Grandmother's courtyard came over to pass on a message, saying that Grandmother had exempted me from my greetings and asked me to eat in my room. She even brought over two bottles of Heart Cleansing Pills, saying that clearing phlegm to soothe the lungs was the most effective way.
After the dinner was served, there was a plate of stir-fried meat with spring bamboo shoots, a plate of two dates and lotus root stewed pork ribs, and a bowl of cinnamon porridge. At first glance, all the dishes were clear and appetizing. I only moved my chopsticks a little before putting them away. Then I leaned on the kang and started to pull out books from the bookcase.
Seeing that I was depressed, Lu Ping moved her foot and sat on the edge of the bed to work on the needlework under the light of my book. As I watched her thread the needle, I couldn't help but think that other girls, whether they were rich girls or pretty girls, had all been learning to carve and carve from a young age. The Yang family wasn't some small family, all the other families in the city had a female teacher for their daughter. When I was young, I once asked my mother why she wouldn't let me learn how to be a red girl. My mother lovingly stroked my head and said, "My concubine's eyes are bright. If I do too much, my eyes will no longer be alive. Needles and thread naturally have people working on it. Why do you have to learn such a thing?! "
I thought this was my mother's love for her daughter, and now that I think about it, it is really ridiculous. If I were to truly marry into someone else's family, I wouldn't be ridiculed.
What could be worth a mother sacrificing her daughter's happiness for? Which biological mother didn't raise her daughter with a motherly heart?
My mother's way of doing it was enough to make people think about it, but I didn't know it.
It was as if he was shrouded in a thick fog. There were many things that were difficult to understand in front of him. What was the truth?
Seeing me sitting on the brick bed with the book in my hand in a daze, Lu Ping lightly sighed. She put the work in her hands into the basket, turned around, and walked out of the room through the curtain. After a while, I came in with a small pink bowl. I knelt on my feet and handed it to me.
I stretched out my hand to take it, but my head actually spilled the little bowl. The only sound that could be heard was the clinking of a lid bowl on the floor as it rotated. The sweet and fragrant lotus seeds were sprinkled on top of Lu Ping's body, causing a large piece of her green silk dress to turn dark and wet.
At this moment, Lu Ping's eyebrows were tightly knitted. She stood up and asked me in a soft voice if it was hot.
When I opened up Lu Ping's sleeve, I saw that it was filled with swelling and redness. It was extremely frightening.
Lu Ping hurriedly pulled her arm out while consoling me, "Miss, don't be afraid. It's just amazing."
"Miss, don't be afraid", these four words were like a thunderbolt striking the head.
When did I need the protection of a maid?
When did I have to sacrifice the people around me to protect myself!
As it turned out, I wasn't the only one who paid the price for my past willfulness. There were even more people who wholeheartedly defended me.
"You may leave, apply some medicine." Feeling that I was about to burst into tears, I quickly raised my head.
Lu Ping only thought that I was in a bad mood and wanted to comfort her.
I shook my head at her and said,
"Go back to your room and change your clothes. Get me a third-rate maid's set of clothes." In a little while, find a girl of my size and let her change into my bedclothes and lie down on the bed. You must go out with tears in your eyes. You must let the mothers know that I'm not in a good mood today. I rested early. "
"Miss, where are you going?" Lu Ping looked at me in confusion. "Let me accompany you."
I bit my lip and made up my mind.
"Naturally to solve the mystery!"
