The daily life of a concubine's daughter
Chapter 57: What a noble girl
She covered her handkerchief with grievance, rubbed her red eyes, and continued with a complaint: "I thought we were sisters, and my elder sister would feel sorry for me after hearing about my experience, but I didn't expect that my elder sister was also biased, ignoring the truth and throwing dirty water on me without hesitation!
I thought my elder sister was well-educated and well-mannered. Yesterday, I went to the temple to worship the Buddha. I prayed for my elder sister's safety and health. I also donated more than 200 taels of silver. I just ate a meal with my elder sister, but my elder sister accused me of being domineering! "
Shi Mingzhu really couldn't bear to listen any more.
She has always been dignified and elegant, and all she talks about is either highbrow literature or profound poetry. Things like quarreling and accusing are always done by Nanny Xin.
Now that Nanny Xin is gone, the maids around her seem to be tongue-tied and useless.
"Forget it, forget it, I've already eaten, go away and leave me some peace and quiet."
Shi Mi's face was full of anger, and just as she was about to speak, she was pulled back by Lian Qiao.
Lian Qiao whispered, "Get rid of them earlier. Do you want to fight with the people in Guanju Courtyard? If we destroy Lanpei Courtyard, will the eldest lady have any consequences for us?"
Shi Mi could only go back.
Shi Yao insisted: "Big sister, then tell me, am I overbearing?"
Shi Mingzhu was almost fainted with anger. Except for the last period of her previous life when she suffered so much injustice, no one had ever dared to be so presumptuous in front of her. She just wanted to get rid of Shi Yao as soon as possible, so she reluctantly said:
"I wronged my sister."
"I knew that my sister is someone who will listen to reason, unlike my second brother and his stubborn friends who won't understand no matter how hard they try." Shi Yao immediately put away her handkerchief. Her face was clean without any trace of tears, only her eyes were a little red. She smiled and pointed at the food on the table and asked, "Sister, do you want to eat more? I'll eat with you for a while."
"I'm full." I'm full of anger, get out of here!
Shi Yao ordered Banxia and Muxiang to pick up a few dishes on the table that had hardly been touched and put them into the food boxes they brought. After all, the maids had served the dishes without touching their saliva, so they were still edible.
These are all delicious dishes that the Duke's wife ordered for her daughter. Even the Duke and his wife are reluctant to eat them. Only the dishes at Ganlu Hall can compare.
Shi Mingzhu looked dazed and felt it was ridiculous.
Shi Yao said shyly: "The people in the kitchen said that I am the youngest and they don't have time to cook for me. The maids and servants in my yard can't eat either. Big sister, please don't laugh at me.
If my eldest aunt comes to visit my sister, please help me file a complaint. The person in charge of the kitchen is really not efficient enough and should be fired if possible.
It doesn't matter if I don't have food. I can just go anywhere and eat. After all, they are my family, and it's not shameful to eat at home. If they still drag their feet and fail to do their job well when guests come, then the shame will be exposed to the public."
Shi Yao led his men away in a mighty procession.
The maids and servants in Lanpei Courtyard were covered in dust and dirt, looking like defeated roosters.
What can you do to such a tough guy?
She has no shame, but my daughter has to have some dignity!
Shi Mi wiped her tears and cleaned up the leftovers while angrily saying, "If I had known it would be like this, I would have stopped the old lady from taking her back to Beijing! What can we do? Our Lanpei Courtyard has been clean for more than ten years, but now it looks like a restaurant outside! How could such a noble girl be stained with such a dirt!"
Lian Qiao bumped her shoulder and said, "Stop talking! It's just that Banxia and the others ate your food. What are you complaining about? Don't make the girl upset!"
The leftovers of Shi Mingzhu were usually eaten by the maids. The ones in the room couldn't finish them, so they gave the rest to the servants outside the room. Even if there were leftovers, it was still much better than the regular meals for the servants.
Shi Mi pursed her lips and glared at her.
Don't think she doesn't know. Muxiang is Lianqiao's cousin. In the past, Muxiang served in Ganlu Hall, and the two of them often had private contacts.
Now the two cousins live next door to each other, and Lian Qiao must be somewhat attached to Guanjuyuan.
But she couldn't say it because she was related to a cleaning lady in Guanju Courtyard, and if she dragged herself into this, she would suffer no good consequences.
Moreover, the two of them have been together for many years and have served Shi Mingzhu together, so they have already established a certain friendship. It is not right for them to harm the little sisters like this.
Shi Mingzhu held her breath and leaned listlessly on the chaise longue. She casually opened a book, but could not read a single word.
Shi Yao is gone now, what’s the use of hindsight?
If she was really smart, she should have scolded her, or even just kicked her out.
She is the legitimate daughter of the Duke's Mansion. Can't she protect them?
Shi Mingzhu's lips moved.
After all, many years of good upbringing are deeply rooted in my bones, and I can't say such harsh instructions.
Shi Mi helped her take medicine.
The more Shi Mingzhu thought about it, the more disgusted she became, and she vomited it out, spraying Shi Mi Lian Qiao all over.
The two maids were frightened and started crying, calling "Miss" repeatedly. They didn't care about the dirt on their bodies and hurriedly called for a doctor.
Lady Zheng, the wife of the Duke, hurried over and listened to the doctor's diagnosis first: "You are depressed, you need to relax and think about happy things, then you will get better quickly." This is almost the same as the previous diagnosis.
Then, Shi Mi Lian Qiao reported about lunch.
Zheng was so angry that veins popped out on her forehead. She gritted her teeth and hated Shi Yao again and again.
She was not so mean as to deliberately mistreat a concubine's daughter in terms of food and clothing. It was the people in the head kitchen who took the initiative to make the decision in order to vent her anger.
At this time, it would not be a good idea to touch Shi Yao.
When a rabbit is cornered, it bites; when a dog is cornered, it jumps over the wall. She was really afraid that Shi Yao, a person with a bit of evil and madness, would retaliate and hurt her Zhuzhu.
Zheng could only persuade Shi Mingzhu with kind words: "She is such a scoundrel, why bother to get angry with her? It's not worth getting yourself upset, and it will only make your enemy happy. Just take care of Zhuzhu, I will find a chance to punish her. She is just a concubine's daughter, why should we worry about her..."
When Shi Mingzhu heard this, she realized that it coincided with her plan to kill Shi Yao after her rebirth, so she drank the medicine.
My mother is the mistress of the Duke's Mansion. She has many ways to deal with Shi Yao. I guarantee that she will not be able to speak out her grievances, and even if her arm is broken, she can only hide it in her sleeve.
After coaxing her daughter to sleep after taking the medicine, Zheng came out of Lanpei Courtyard and glanced coldly at Guanju Courtyard. She ordered, "Go and tell the kitchen to send dinner to Guanju Courtyard in time."
Nanny Jin responded quickly and wiped a cold sweat from her forehead.
Zheng said, "Shi Mi and Lian Qiao are useless when things get tough. They can't even protect their own daughter. Nanny Jin, please be more careful and take a look. Pick some who can be used after the New Year or the beginning of spring. Old Nanny should also pick a few. I will replace the people who serve her."
Nanny Jin said, "Madam, calm down. Muxiang was given to you by the old lady, Xingmi and Rendong were given to you by the old master, and Liuhua was given the surname Shi. With them here, no matter who else serves you, I'm afraid you won't be able to control your anger."
How could someone who could serve in the courtyard of the old duke and the lady have a simple background?
Especially Xing Mi and Ren Dong, who are the juniors of the managers of the outer courtyard and should not be offended easily. Otherwise, if the young masters are away from home and make a slight mistake, and send a late message back home, they will suffer a great loss.
Zheng felt bitter and cursed her parents-in-law in her heart to die early and reincarnate early. The two old guys were almost seventy years old, so why weren't they dead yet?
"Then let them figure it out on their own. If they let Shi Yao bother Zhu Zhu, they are just idiots!"
