The daily life of a concubine's daughter

Before Aunt Tang finished her words, the Madam was already in tears.

After a little thought, he knew why Fu Nanjun wanted to harm Shi Yao.

She beat her chest, still feeling uncomfortable, angry and pitiful: "I am old and useless, and they dare to abuse and humiliate my own granddaughter like this! First they spit on me, then they push the window in the middle of the night, each one is more mean and vicious than the last, and even then, they dare to gossip and confuse right and wrong in front of me!

She is just a maid. When she reached the age, she was sent away with her dowry. She has lived in the mansion for less than three years. She has nothing to compete with them for. Why do they want to bully her to death? They are not bullying a little girl. It is obvious that they don’t like me and hope that I will die of anger sooner so that they can be happy! "

She dared not respond to this, and Madam Tang choked up and said, "The old lady doesn't know. When I first met the second young lady in Jinling, although she was a little unruly, she was a lively and cheerful child. I was very happy to see her and didn't mind her riding in a donkey cart when she went out.

Later, I dressed her up with silk and satin, but she didn't show any embarrassment of suddenly becoming rich. Such a temperament of being content with poverty and happy with wealth is very rare.

Later, along the way, she asked me who were the people in the mansion, what kind of personalities they were, whether they were easy to get along with, and she was expectant but reserved. Knowing that she was not well behaved, she asked in detail and corrected herself bit by bit. She was neither embarrassed nor arrogant.

Before leaving, she bought two boxes of big white steamed buns and a large jar of pickled vegetables fried with lard. I thought she was worried about not having enough food on the road, but she actually gave some steamed buns and pickled vegetables to beggars and children with no clothes on. When she passed by a town, she bought new steamed buns to fill her boxes.

This is the reason why Shi Yao’s merit points skyrocketed on her way to Beijing.

The old lady's tears fell down, she was relieved and felt pity: "Why didn't you tell me earlier? I misunderstood her a lot and made her suffer a lot."

Madam Tang straightened her upper body, took out a handkerchief to wipe the tears of the Madam, and said ashamedly: "I thought that there was a long time to come, and the old lady had plenty of time to get to know the second young lady. Who could have expected that one thing after another would happen, and everyone in the mansion would say that the second young lady had brought bad luck to the eldest young lady, and she was also cruel and vicious in punishing the servants.

But anyone with a discerning eye can see that if these things happened to any other master, the punishment the servants who did it would receive would be lighter than that of Songlan, Qiushi and the others. I'm afraid the punishment would be even more severe, and they might even lose their lives. "

The old lady burst into tears: "Do they really think I'm dead? I'm old and confused, I should have noticed something was wrong earlier. That old Taoist priest who was talking nonsense was probably invited into the mansion by someone with ulterior motives."

If you think about it more carefully, after the old Taoist priest entered the mansion, no one paid attention to the ice hole that Shi Mingzhu fell into, and they just kept putting all the blame on Shi Yao.

Shi Yao did nothing and said nothing. First she was pushed into the water, and then she was repeatedly framed by the maids, not to mention that there was also a Nanny Xin who wrote down her birth date and horoscope to make a doll.

The lady put herself in Shi Yao's shoes and the more she thought about it, the more horrible the scene became.

But for the sake of superficial peace in this family, she could only choose to cover up the truth. All she could do was to take better care of Shi Yao, give her more gold and silver jewelry, silks and satins as compensation, support her, and prevent those people who flatter the powerful and look down on the weak from looking down on her.

"...Take another 10,000 taels of silver from my private room and give it to Yao Yatou, give it to her secretly, and take another 1,000 taels of silver and give it to her openly."

What those people were thinking about was nothing more than her dowry and inheritance, but she refused to give in to their wishes and insisted on giving more to Yao Yatou.

Aunt Tang sighed and said with a smile, "The second young lady will definitely be happy."

*

Shi Yao was indeed very happy when she received the huge sum of 11,000 taels.

I was so happy that I felt like wings grew on my back and I flew up to the sky.

Today is really a fruitful day.

She decided to forgive the lady's indifference in the past few days and to pamper her grandmother more in the future.

Love comes a little late, but it comes finally!

She always believes that real money is true love.

Anyone who believes in those who give you all their love verbally but give all their money to your brothers and sisters’ love is an idiot.

In addition to the silver bills, the utensils that the lady promised to send were doubled in amount. They looked extremely exquisite and decorated Guanju Courtyard magnificently yet low-key. Most of the ornaments had extraordinary origins, and were not much worse than the Lanpei Courtyard next door.

Shi Yao hid in the curtain, holding the eleven silver notes worth one thousand taels, and kissed them again and again.

Every picture is her little cutie!

Thank you, Aunt Xin!

Give Aunt Xin a chicken drumstick!

The dinner was very sumptuous. It was obvious that the kitchen staff had sensed the lady's favor towards the second young lady, so they not only served the standard dishes but also added four exquisite dishes.

The four extra dishes should be an apology for my neglect in the morning.

Shi Yao suddenly understood why there were house fights and palace fights, because being favored was so damn nice!

Before eating, she specifically asked, "Wu Xi, can you think of a way to secretly send some food to Nanny Xin?"

She pointed to a plate of braised chicken legs, which she had ordered from the kitchen specifically for Nanny Xin.

If it could be delivered, she would ask Wu Xi to send it to Nanny Xin.

Wu Xi was stunned, not understanding what Shi Yao meant. After thinking for a while, she said, "Young lady, please have your meal first. I will go and find out where Nanny Xin is being held."

"Okay, go ask."

Shi Yao had no low self-esteem and could not stand others eating her saliva, so she swallowed, used her chopsticks to pass over the fragrant braised chicken leg, and happily started eating other dishes.

Luo Kui stood by and served, handing over handkerchiefs and the like.

She knew in the morning that Shi Yao didn't like being served at meals, so she didn't try to please her. Anyway, she would serve for a few days, and when the Duke's wife sent a new person, she and Wu Xi would return to Handan Courtyard.

Shi Yao finished her dinner and rinsed her mouth when Wu Xi just came back.

She asked, "How? Is there any way to send chicken legs? If there is no way, don't force it. Don't be embarrassed. It doesn't have to be sent."

Wu Xi and Luo Kui both knelt on the ground, and Wu Xi said, "This servant lied to the second young lady."

Shi Yao wiped her hands: "Oh?"

Does she have a deceptive face?

Looking at herself in the mirror, she found herself very beautiful inside and out, but being beautiful doesn't mean she has no brains.

Wu Xi replied: "I was afraid of disturbing the second young lady's meal, so I didn't dare to tell her. Nanny Xin has been beaten to death by the Duke!

In the early afternoon, before and after the second young lady returned to Guanju Courtyard, Nanny Xin was dragged directly to the front yard. All the servants in the mansion who were not on duty were called over and watched with their own eyes as Nanny Xin was beaten to death.

Shi Yao suddenly raised her eyes, her face pale.

Wu Xi hurriedly said, "Don't be afraid, Second Miss. That old man harmed Second Miss, so he deserves to be beaten to death."

Shi Yao slowly calmed her violent heartbeat, thought carefully, and thought to herself, since witchcraft was involved, it seemed that Nanny Xin had only one way out.

Feudal superstition kills people!

Shi Yao, who was half feudal and half modern, half superstitious and half scientific, broke out in a cold sweat on her back.

It turns out that engaging in superstitious activities in the feudal era could also lead to death!
