The daily life of a concubine's daughter

The doll was covered with needles, with the words "Shi Yao" written on the back, and Shi Yao's birth date sewn inside.

Nanny Xin muttered to herself and cursed under her breath. After each curse, she would poke the little man with a needle.

Lian Qiao, the head maid who got up at night, almost cried out that she saw a ghost when she saw this. She walked closer, listened to a few words, shook her head, and quietly left.

No matter what she does?

That second girl is unlucky for the young lady. Nanny Xin should give her a few more acupuncture treatments!

Shi Yao slept until dawn.

She stretched herself, opened the curtains, and saw two unfamiliar maids.

The two of them trembled with fear and bowed stiffly, saying, "Greetings, Second Young Lady. My name is Luokui/Wuxi, and I am a second-class maid in the Handan Courtyard. The eldest lady ordered us to serve the young lady."

Wu Xi, with her dark eyes, asked carefully, "Miss, do you want to wash up now?"

"Yeah." Shi Yao touched her forehead and found her face a little wet. She then touched her vest and found sweat on her back.

After I chased those two girls away last night, I had a good sleep.

The high fever subsided, and she felt better and in a good mood.

Luo Kui went to call for water, while Wu Xi knelt beside the kang, putting a pair of embroidered shoes on the footstool, her hands shaking a little.

Shi Yao suddenly felt bored.

She thought to herself with a smile that the Shi family was just like attacking a BOSS. They would continuously send small soldiers to kill her in the early stage to test her firepower. Once they had found out her strength, they would send a large force to destroy her.

Wu Xi only felt two pairs of eyes falling on her head, burning her scalp and numbing it. She said respectfully in a trembling voice, "Please put on your shoes, Second Miss. Although there is a carpet in the room, the floor is still cold. If you walk barefoot, you may get a cold."

Shi Yao bent down and picked up the embroidered shoes.

Wu Xi panicked, not knowing what Shi Yao was doing. Then she saw her reaching her hands into the embroidered shoes one by one, and then she lowered her head and smiled at her: "I was scared by your viciousness. I thought you hid a needle in your embroidered shoes."

After saying that, Shi Yao put on her shoes, pulled up her heels and went to the bathroom.

Wu Xi was so frightened that she couldn't stop shaking: "I don't dare!"

After shaking for a while, Luo Kui brought back the hot water and realized that Shi Yao meant "I'm scared by your viciousness". She couldn't help but think back -

Songlan and Shannai were beaten with a stick because Songlan spat into Shi Yao's medicine and Shannai concealed the fact and was considered an accomplice.

Last night, Qiushi returned home with his face swollen like a steamed bun and only half a breath left. Ziyuan's mouth was swollen like a sausage. When the Crown Prince's wife, who was always strong-willed, saw this, she just sighed. She didn't bother Shi Yao, nor did she go to complain to the Duke's wife. This morning, she sent her and Luokui to serve them again. She didn't say anything else, just told them to be extremely careful and serve them well.

It was obvious that Qiushi and Ziyuan were punished because they must have done something shameful. The eldest grandmother felt guilty and did not force them to take revenge on Shi Yao who had humiliated her.

The servant harms the master, and the master punishes the servant. Isn't this only natural?

The wife of the Duke is in charge of the household, and she has punished many servants. In fact, which master in the Duke's Mansion has never punished a servant?

Why is it that the whole house only spreads the rumor that the second young lady is a man-eating evil ghost and a vicious jinx?

After thinking all this through, Wu Xi stopped shaking. Instead, she felt pity for Shi Yao, so she got up and served her diligently.

After Shi Yao finished washing, she told them to bring water: "I want to take a bath."

Wu Xi advised: "What if you catch a cold again? Miss, please take care of yourself. If you feel uncomfortable, we can wipe it for you."

Shi Yao said: "I only take a bath, not wash my hair, it's okay, I sweat a lot, I need to wash to get rid of the disease quickly. The water should be hotter."

Wu Xi was embarrassed: "Where does this say that?" How can you take a bath when you have a cold or fever?

Shi Yao said seriously: "We in Jinling all treat illnesses in this way."

Wu Xi had no choice but to look at Luo Kui and turn around to go out for some fragrant soup.

Shi Yao took advantage of this opportunity to have breakfast, otherwise she would feel dizzy if she took a bath on an empty stomach.

The breakfast consisted of three or four side dishes, a basket of red bean paste buns, and a bowl of eight-treasure porridge.

Among the side dishes, he actually took a plate of pickles to make up the number.

Shi Yao glanced at Luo Kui and caught the sympathy in her eyes, and realized that the kitchen had withheld her share.

Write this down first.

She chewed slowly, eating three red bean paste buns with the eight-treasure porridge. Each bun was only as big as a baby's fist.

Eat more and supplement nutrition so that the disease can be cured faster.

When she went to get the fourth one, Luo Kui hurriedly said, "Second Miss, you need to empty your stomach. You still need to take medicine later."

Shi Yao could only stop and asked, "Where's the medicine?"

She had been smelling medicine for a while, but couldn't find the medicine bowl.

Luo Kui smiled and said, "Second Miss, have you smelled it? It's at the entrance of the flower hall. I go out from time to time to check the fire. It should be cooked now. I'll go get it and you can drink it after it cools down."

Shi Yao nodded.

The two new maids are very discerning, and their attitudes are completely different from those of the two maids yesterday.

Could it be because my sister-in-law Fu Nanjun was reborn?

After rebirth, Fu Nanjun no longer targets her. Does he plan to devote all his energy to persuading her cheap cousin to return to the right path, or does he plan to break up the couple and separate Shi Mingzhu and the fourth prince Zhou Shao?

Suddenly, she really wanted to see what the mental state of the reborn Fu Nanjun was like.

After taking the medicine, Shi Yao's whole body felt warmer, just in time for a hot bath.

Luo Kui and Wu Xi stood by to serve. Shi Yao only showed her head floating on the water covered with rose petals and asked tentatively, "Did sister-in-law sleep well last night?"

Wu Xi had already informed Luo Kui. When Shi Yao was about to bring up what happened last night, they both trembled and replied carefully, "May the grandma have a good night's sleep."

Shi Yao raised her eyebrows, knowing that she couldn't get anything out of her, so she stopped asking.

The two maids breathed a sigh of relief.

Unexpectedly, after Shi Yao took a bath and combed her hair, she felt relaxed all over, and her illness was reduced by more than half. She put on her cloak and went to visit the patient in Lanpeiyuan next door.

The two of them couldn't persuade her, so they could only shrink their necks and follow Shi Yao out of Guanju Courtyard in a depressed mood.

When the maid from Lanpei Courtyard saw Shi Yao coming, she was startled and slapped her thigh, thinking, "Oh, the living devil next door is here to take my life! He is afraid that he can't kill the young lady!"

While she perfunctorily bowed and greeted "Hello, Second Miss", she tilted her head back and shouted at the top of her lungs, "Second Miss is here! Second Miss is here to visit the eldest lady!"

A little maid, about seven or eight years old, ran inside with an expression as if she had seen a ghost.

When Shi Yao arrived at the flower hall, almost everyone in Lanpei Courtyard knew that the second young lady had arrived.

The maids and servants were standing guard inside and outside the door as if they were facing a great enemy, with a fierce look in their eyes.

Shi Yao looked around and saw that except for the young great-grandchildren, all the men from the three generations of the Shi family were present. Oh, the only one missing was Shi Jizhen, the second master stationed at the North Gate.

The middle-aged man who was glaring at her with his beard puffed out should be her biological father, Shi Ji'an, the third son of the Shi family.

The youngest boy who had no beard to blow and could only stare blankly should be Shi Mingzhu's twin brothers, Shi Minghui.

The young man standing behind Shi Jian'an, waving his fist at her ferociously, was probably the third son born to her stepmother Rong, her seventh brother, Shi Mingchen.

The rest all looked indifferent.
