The daily life of a concubine's daughter

Qiu Shi slowly raised his head, his face pale, his lips black, and his tears frozen. He slapped himself in the face with his backhand, and said with a weak breath, "It's all my fault. I will take the punishment for Ziyuan. I only ask that you do what you said, young lady, and let us go."

Aster's hand trembled.

Suddenly I remembered the look that my grandmother gave Qiushi when she left and asked him to stay with her.

She also remembered her great-grandmother had told her, "Be careful not to let the wind blow her."

She glanced at the closed window and her legs began to tremble.

Shi Yao was not a slave who had signed a contract to sell herself, nor was she a woman from a humble family. She was the daughter of a wealthy family and a close relative of the old man and the old lady. If anyone could do that, it couldn't be the eldest lady.

Grandma is confused!

After hearing Qiushi's five weak slaps, Shi Yao said slowly, "The master is talking to someone, why are you, a maid, butting in? You don't know the rules! Ziyuan, right? I heard the eldest sister-in-law call you that. Are you going to slap her or not?"

Qiushi heard this but didn't stop, slapping himself in the face again and again.

Seeing this, Ziyuan burst into tears in grievance, raised her hand, and slapped herself hard on the mouth.

She counted silently in her heart: one, two, three...

Count to ten, then stop.

Qiu Shi also stopped and his breath became weaker.

Shi Yao closed the bed curtains, lay back down, and uttered one word in a tired voice: "Get out!"

So annoying!

Can't you give me a good sleep?

Ziyuan was crying, not daring to even sob. She supported Qiushi and walked to the door step by step.

Through the curtain, I heard Shi Yao mumble, "Close the door. If you dare to do anything wrong again, I'll throw you into the well."

Ziyuan bit her lip and two bean-sized tears suddenly fell. She put Qiushi down, closed the door, and finally took Qiushi back to Handan Courtyard with great effort.

When she went out, the gatekeeper saw that her lips were swollen like sausages and Qiu Shi looked like he had lost half his life, so she couldn't help but exclaimed.

The gatekeeper of Lanpei Courtyard next door quickly stuck her head in to ask, and after finding out the truth, she immediately and excitedly reported it to Shi Mingzhu's wet nurse, Nanny Xin.

Nanny Xin was sold by her parents when she was five years old. After being passed around several hands, she became Shi Mingzhu's wet nurse.

She could not remember her parents' names, she only remembered that they called her "Xin'er" or "Xing'er" and that she had never been married. Later, she was bought by a poor scholar to be his concubine. After she gave birth to a son to carry on the scholar's family line, she was sold by the owner.

Because she had milk, she became Shi Mingzhu's wet nurse.

Seeing that she was loyal, honest, and able to read a few words, the Duke's wife treated Shi Mingzhu as her own daughter and gave her the surname Shi. Because the surname and surname were not easy to pronounce together, everyone called her Xin Niang.

Nanny Xin was in her early thirties, with a bun on the back of her head and a silver hairpin with a lotus flower pattern. She was dressed in gray and did not try to dress up fancy at all. She looked to be in her forties, with a round face and shrewd eyes. She was sitting under the lamp embroidering, holding a embroidery frame in her hands.

In order to take care of Shi Mingzhu these days, she was afraid that the maids would fall asleep carelessly, so she took the night chores herself and watched over her personally.

After hearing what the gatekeeper said, Nanny Xin grabbed a handful of copper coins and stuffed them into her hand, smiling gently and amiably: "Thanks to you guys for talking to me at night, I didn't get sleepy. Take these copper coins and have some tea."

The old woman weighed it and smiled, revealing her back teeth: "Thank you for the reward, Madam! Madam, you are really generous. I am also afraid of being tired while working at night, so I came to chat with you."

After that, he smiled and asked, "Is the girl still not awake?"

"Not yet." Nanny Xin sighed.

The old woman wanted to talk about the second young lady's cruel heart. It was fine for her to beat and scold the maids, but she even disregarded her own sister's life. She was also afraid that the second young lady would gain power in the future, so she sighed and said, "Our young lady is kind-hearted and will surely be blessed by the Bodhisattva. Don't worry, Madam, she will wake up tomorrow."

"I'm grateful for your good wishes." Nanny Xin wiped her tears with a handkerchief.

The old woman said a few auspicious words and then slipped away with the copper coins in her pocket.

Nanny Xin threw away her handkerchief, stood up and walked towards the inner room, and whispered to Shi Mingzhu the news she had heard from the gatekeeper: "...this little whore born to a whore is not worthy to be compared with the young lady. The young lady is a daughter of a rich family, how can she be considered a rich lady? She is just like her concubine, a person who is not worthy of being on the stage! No wonder her biological father doesn't love her and her stepmother doesn't love her!

The old lady shouldn't have been soft-hearted and took her back to Beijing! She is full of bad luck, first the girl, then the maids around her. I can see that whoever is close to her will be unlucky, she is a jinx! She has only been a rich lady for a few days, but she is already showing off her power, beating and scolding the maids. The ones I raised don't know the rules!

Songlan and Shannai were maids given by the Duke's wife. The younger generation should respect cats and dogs given by elders, let alone people. It's even more ridiculous that Qiushi and Ziyuan were beaten. They are the grandmother's people. They went to help, not to serve her as maids. "

Shi Mingzhu's eyes were dull, and she replied lazily, "She has always been like this, mean and cruel, selfish and ruthless, loves to show off, clings to the powerful, loves vanity, is dissolute and passionate, and does not observe the virtuous code of conduct for women... Madam, you will not find it strange after you have had contact with her a few more times."

It turned out that Shi Mingzhu had woken up a long time ago.

Because I heard that the old man and the old lady had unanimously decided that if Shi Mingzhu did not wake up by tomorrow morning, they would ask Shi Yao to move out of Guanju Courtyard.

Nanny Xin urged her hard, and Shi Mingzhu herself did not want to continue to be Shi Yao's neighbor. She wanted to put a damper on her prestige and put an end to her arrogance, so she agreed to continue pretending to be unconscious.

Seeing her daughter's desolate eyes, Nanny Xin hated Shi Yao even more in her heart. She cursed and muttered in her heart, and then asked curiously: "Why does the girl seem to have known that young woman for many years?"

It was clear that they had only met once.

Shi Mingzhu smiled bitterly: "Maybe we were enemies in our previous life."

They are more than just enemies, they are also enemies.

The tragic ending of her previous life and the annihilation of the Shi family were all caused by Shi Yao.

Zhou Shao was nothing more than a dog and a knife to Shi Yao.

In this life, she will never let this couple off!

There is a deep blood feud between her and Shi Yao. They could not be sisters in their previous life, and they are certainly not sisters in this life.

Even if Shi Yao has not attacked her in this life, she will never be soft-hearted or soft-handed again.

She wanted to completely strangle Shi Yao, this cancer, in the cradle and not give her any chance to grow up, so as not to harm her and the Shi family again!

Nanny Xin hugged her in her arms with a look of pity: "Aren't they enemies? The Taoist priest is right, that little bitch and the girl are incompatible. Look, the old man and the old lady just decided to move her out of Guanju Courtyard, and the girl woke up. When she is really moved out, the girl's illness will be completely gone."

Nanny Xin kept on chattering, feeling sorry for Shi Mingzhu, cursing Shi Yao, and using foul language, many of which Shi Mingzhu had never heard of before.

She thought with amusement that she had no idea that the nanny could curse like this.

She didn't stop her and let her scold. At least she helped the nanny vent her anger.

The master and servant fought with Shi Yao for a while, and Shi Mingzhu was so sleepy that she fell asleep again.

Nanny Xin didn't sleep, and took out a stuffed doll hidden under the bed.
