The daily life of a concubine's daughter

Shi Mingzhu deliberately emphasized "youngest daughter", and Shi Yao showed an awkward look on her face. She smiled awkwardly and exchanged greetings with Ge Qiuheng. Seeing that no one invited her to sit down, she explained her purpose and said:

"...Since Brother Eight has guests here, I won't bother you."

She asked Aunt Liu Hua to put down the gift for visiting the patient, glanced at Shi Minghui with fear, and hurriedly led the maids and nannies away.

That back view seemed to convey a sense of fleeing in a hurry.

Not only her, but Muxiang who came with her also had a look of fear in her eyes. She kept her head down the whole time and didn't dare to look at Shi Minghui.

Ge Qiuheng watched Shi Yao leave, looked outside, and then untied the red string that tied the gift without any hesitation. She saw a ginseng that was two fingers thick inside, so she picked it out and said with a smile:

"It looks like it's about three to five hundred years old, and the other medicinal herbs are all top quality. She looks very generous and knows how to behave. Why don't you two brothers like her? You didn't even invite her to sit with you. It's embarrassing for me as an outsider."

Shi Mingzhu glanced at Renshen, slightly surprised, and said indifferently: "We have only met her three or five times and exchanged less than ten words. The face is no different from that of a stranger on the street.

You are the one who grew up with us. Compared to outsiders, Fourth Sister is the real sister in my heart.

If I remember correctly, this ginseng was originally given by my mother to my eldest sister-in-law for nourishing her body. My eldest sister-in-law must have given it to her some time ago, but she was so kind as to give it back to me."

After saying this, she paused there, as if waiting for someone to respond.

Ge Qiuheng continued, exclaiming, "No matter if she knows the goods or not, it's ok if she doesn't know other things, but she will definitely recognize this ginseng. She sent it to me, which shows that she is straightforward and doesn't care about things.

Although I am offering my eldest sister-in-law a gift, I heard that she grew up in the countryside and probably hasn't seen anything rare. She doesn't have many friends around her. The fact that she can bring out ginseng shows her sincerity. Sister Zhuzhu, why are you like a different person after you got sick?"

Sister Zhuzhu had never been so cold in the past, and she would never speak with a hint of harshness when talking about her own sister.

Sister Zhuzhu always told her that she envied her family because she had so many sisters and also wanted to have a younger sister.

If a younger sister really came into the family, it would only be ten days, so what conflicts could there be that could not be resolved?

Besides, I heard that the two sisters fell into the water and became ill, and Shi Yao has been lying on the kang to recuperate. How could she disturb Sister Zhuzhu?

She didn't know how Shi Yao had offended her, but it couldn't be that Shi Yao pushed her into the water - if that were the case, she wouldn't be able to see Shi Yao here in one piece today.

Shi Mingzhu pursed her lips and said, "Maybe you are sick and depressed because you have been lying in bed for a long time. Just play by yourself, sister, and ignore me."

After saying that, she paused again, and habitually pricked up her ears, as if listening to someone talking.

Ge Qiuheng opened the gift packages one by one and picked out the medicinal herbs inside. Those she didn't recognize, she asked Shi Mingzhu, Shi Minghui, and the old maid who was serving around.

Shi Mingzhu was in a trance and felt uncomfortable.

After a long while, she finally reacted.

It turned out that she felt something was wrong because she didn't hear others criticizing Shi Yao.

In her previous life, Nanny Xin was by her side, and she always secretly disliked Nanny's noisy, nagging and foul language.

Especially every time Shi Yao plotted against her and framed her, Nanny Xin would either put her hands on her hips and curse her in front of her, or stab and curse her behind her back. When she got angry, she would beat Shi Yao.

She disliked Nanny Xin for not being able to control her mouth and was afraid that Nanny Xin would bring shame to her reputation. She had tried to persuade her once or twice, but Nanny Xin refused to change. Later, she was too lazy to persuade her and just let her be. Anyway, she could protect Nanny Xin.

At this moment, she looked at Ge Qiuheng, who had been praising Shi Yao for her generosity, kindness and brotherliness. Her lips moved, but she could not open her mouth.

Rules and etiquette were ingrained in her bones, and there was really no way she could tell outsiders about her sisters’ viciousness.

She is a noble and elegant lady from a prominent family. How could she speak ill of her sister behind her back?

At this moment, she suddenly realized that every time Nanny Xin uttered bad words in her previous life, they sounded so pleasant to the ears, as if every word hit her heart.

It turned out that Nanny Xin was her substitute.

Shi Mingzhu recalled Nanny Xin who had always been good to her, and she became more and more annoyed with the tongue-tied and pretentious maids around her.

"Enough!" Shi Minghui suddenly shouted.

Ge Qiuheng's hand trembled, and the Astragalus in his palm fell to the ground.

The little maidservant hurriedly bent down to pick it up.

Ge Qiuheng smoothed his chest and saw Shi Mingzhu's eyes filled with tears. He stood up and put his hands on Shi Mingzhu's shoulders in a protective posture. He turned his head and said in a delicate voice:

"Eighth brother, why are you so angry? You scared me so much that my heart almost jumped out of my throat. Look, you scared Sister Zhuzhu so much that she's about to cry! Apologize to Sister Zhuzhu now."

Shi Minghui's face turned livid. He pointed at a maid and ordered in a cold voice, "Go, throw all those supplements away for me! Throw them far away! I can't stand seeing them!"

The little maid was trembling and was in a hurry to clean the table. Hearing Shi Minghui's harsh urging, she quickly put everything into the tray and ran out with the tray to throw away the things.

Ge Qiuheng was so frightened that her face turned pale and she was speechless.

I couldn't sit, stand, walk or stay. I felt so ashamed that I didn't know where to put my hands and feet.

Shi Minghui closed his eyes and said in a soft voice, "I'm not angry with you, don't get me wrong. Sister Qiuheng, our family affairs are a bit complicated, so it's inconvenient to tell you in detail. You should go back and rest first. I will go to your house in a few days to apologize. As for my second sister, I can't have a deep brotherly relationship with her, so you don't need to bother to persuade her to reconcile."

Ge Qiuheng's face turned red with embarrassment.

This was the first time in her life that she was kicked out by someone.

He bowed hurriedly, said nothing, covered his face and turned away.

Obviously angry.

The Ge family's carriage left the Shi family's gate. Ge Qiuheng hugged the stove, her heart still beating wildly. She put one hand on her chest, and said to the nanny beside her with lingering fear:

"Just now, Brother Eight was so angry that it was scary."

She began to believe the rumors that Shi Minghui had killed someone in public to silence him.

No wonder Shi Yao was trembling with fear. Muxiang, who was beside Shi Yao, looked as pale as a ghost. It was said that Muxiang was also in the Jingzhao government office at that time. Muxiang was the head maid in the lady's room. Every time Ge Qiuheng came to the Shi family to play, she would first pay her respects to the lady, so she was very familiar with Muxiang.

The nanny was full of complaints, but she knew that the two families had tacitly agreed to the marriage, and was afraid that she would be traumatized, so she only said something nice:

"What's the big deal? Our marquis and sons, who is not terrifying when they lose their temper? The eighth son is born into a noble family and a military family. He pays attention to accumulating strength and cultivating his aura. His aura is naturally stronger than those weak scholars. When he leads the army in the future, he will be able to intimidate his soldiers. I think he has only 50% of the power of our marquis."
