The daily life of a concubine's daughter
Chapter 59: For the Good of Big Sister
When Shi Mingzhu heard her chattering on with her twisted ideas, she felt a headache. When she heard her say some vulgar words like "fart", she felt chest tightness and shortness of breath, and her ears were polluted.
You want to fall out with them, but what's the point of doing it yourself? The maids under you are useless and can't handle the matter.
"It may be that the weather is cold and the distance from the kitchen to Guanju Courtyard is long, so the oil may have solidified. The old man and the old lady are worried, so please be patient and don't make a fuss at this critical moment and bother them with trivial matters."
Shi Yao nodded immediately: "Big sister is right, the old grandfather and the old lady must be worried about how to excuse the bad reputation of my second brother and his friends for hiring someone to kill my sister. My second sister-in-law made a big scene today, I am afraid that my second brother's bad reputation will be even worse. I wonder how worried the old grandfather, the old lady, my uncle and my aunt are."
Shi Mingzhu's face froze and her heart was broken.
All these messed up things, in the final analysis, were caused by my second brother and his friends' revenge for Nanny Xin.
She felt ashamed and hated Shi Yao for being so ruthless and for taking the case to court, which led to the current situation.
Shi Yao is even more difficult to deal with than she was at this time in her previous life.
At this time in her previous life, "Shi Yao" would pretend to be well-behaved and docile, and would not compete with her for the limelight in public. She would only try to please her secretly and coax some gold, silver and other valuables from her.
She felt sorry for Shi Yao, a country girl who was short-sighted and ignorant. She didn't care about the fact that the daughter of a Duke's family was scheming for a few taels of silver. Anyway, she didn't care about gold and silver.
"Shi Yao" shined when she was seriously ill. She plagiarized ancient poems, got the reputation of a talented woman, seduced Zhou Shao, and the two of them became accomplices from then on...
Shi Mingzhu looked at Shi Yao, a scoundrel with a quick mind and sharp words, and felt a little unfamiliar.
At this moment, Shi Yao was having a hard time in the Duke's Mansion. How dare anyone bully her?
Shi Yao ignored Shi Mingzhu's meaningful look and ordered, "Shi Mi, go and heat up these dishes. Big sister said that the oil was just congealed. Heat it up and the oil will melt. I'll ask Big sister to taste it again - I've eaten so many of Big sister's dishes, Big sister must also taste my dishes."
Shi Mi was petrified. How could she dare to heat up the food and feed the grown-up girl with such greasy food?
Shi Mingzhu stood up: "I'm full..."
Shi Yao pulled her to sit down and said with a smile: "Big sister, you only ate two bites, how come you are full? You eat so little, no wonder your illness never gets better. For your own good, I advise you to be patient."
Shi Mingzhu only felt that the depressed gas in her stomach suddenly reached her lungs.
Shi Yao laughed and shouted, "Shi Mi! Go and heat up the dishes! If my aunt knew that you let my elder sister do whatever she wanted and let her go hungry, be careful or she will expose your skin! Even if my elder sister is kind and won't tell anyone, I will be labeled as a busybody and will go to my aunt to complain about you!"
No one dared to take Shi Yao's angry smile as a joke. This second girl could do anything!
Shi Mi looked at Shi Mingzhu anxiously, hoping that the girl would give her a hint as to whether she should go or not.
Shi Mingzhu sat there stiffly without saying a word, intending to test the two maids.
Shi Mi was so anxious that she was about to cry. Seeing Shi Yao staring at her fiercely, she timidly picked up a plate of food and prepared to heat it up.
Shi Mingzhu closed her eyes in disappointment.
After all, Muxiang had been serving the old lady for several years. She had seen a lot of disputes between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, sisters-in-law, mother and son, and father and son. She could read people's expressions and figured out some clues, so she winked at her cousin Lianqiao.
Lian Qiao and she were cousins and they often interacted with each other. After a few glances, Lian Qiao suddenly realized what was going on. She suppressed her fear of Shi Yao, took two steps forward and said with a smile:
"Second Miss, don't just think about Shi Mi. I am such a grown-up standing here, second Miss, please take a look at me! The young lady is ill, and the doctor has told her not to eat greasy food. At least the second Miss and a few aunts and sisters have eaten at Lanpei Courtyard, and I also want to eat at Guanju Courtyard. How about the second Miss just give these dishes to me and Shi Mi?"
Shi Mingzhu glanced at her lightly.
Lian Qiao suppressed her panic and gave her a firm look.
Shi Mingzhu was speechless. Although Lian Qiao lacked courage, he was smart.
Not confronting Shi Yao head-on might be a good choice, because a head-on conflict would inevitably affect her reputation, just like killing a rat and damaging the jade bottle.
Shi Yao smiled and said, "Forget it, forget it. After all, I was the one who got the meal first, so if you want to eat, go ahead and eat."
She pointed at a few dishes, including the ones she brought from Guanju Courtyard, and said, "Big sister was so slow to eat, I kept an eye on her. I saw she didn't even touch a chopstick of these dishes at noon, so you guys can enjoy them. Go down and eat. Aunt Liuhua, Banxia, Sister Muxiang, Xingmi, and Rendong, you guys go eat too. We don't need you to serve us here."
The atmosphere suddenly warmed up.
The maids hurriedly thanked him and left happily.
The warm room became spacious.
Shi Yao held her chin up to her hand and looked at Shi Mingzhu, saying in a soft voice, "Big sister, eat quickly. I'm watching you. Don't starve yourself. The old lady feels bad for you, the aunt feels bad for you, and I feel bad for you too. I won't leave until you finish this bowl of green glutinous rice porridge."
Shi Mingzhu couldn't eat it at all.
The maid in her room fears Shi Yao more than she does, and listens to Shi Yao more than she does. What kind of thing is this?
On second thought, Shi Yao said that when you are sick, eating is more effective than taking medicine, and she agreed with this to some extent. Although her eighth brother said that girls should be delicate and soft, she envied Shi Yao's strong physique.
Only after she has recovered her health can she fight against Shi Yao and Zhou Shao.
So Shi Mingzhu started to eat her meal seriously.
Shi Yao smiled with relief: "That's right. The greatest pleasure in life is eating and drinking."
Shi Mingzhu was too lazy to pay attention to her. She felt disgusted by Shi Yao's face. She thought it was just cramming.
Shi Yao pretended to complete the task of "watching her sister eat", and then left in a leisurely manner with the well-fed servants.
Shi Mingzhu had just finished her meal and was exhausted both physically and mentally. However, the doctor told her not to lie down on the bed immediately, but to walk around the warm room and the side rooms for a few times to help digest the food.
Lian Qiao got the hint from Mu Xiang and seemed to have opened up his Ren and Du meridians. He rushed to report before Shi Mi did, with a look of confusion on his face.
"Miss, I inquired and found out that the gatekeeper locked the door from the inside before dinner. The second girl stepped on Banxia's shoulders and jumped onto our wall to get in for dinner."
Shi Mingzhu: “…”
This second sister is becoming more and more unserious.
For a meal, he even gave up his reputation!
In the previous life, she was a crude country girl, and in this life, she is a street thug.
Are all time-traveling women so unruly and vulgar?
Shi Mi was secretly annoyed at Lian Qiao's quick words. She was just about to say something about this, but after hearing Lian Qiao's words, she quickly replied:
"Yes, she is really ill-educated. Our wife didn't wrongly accuse her at all. No family can raise a daughter who can climb over the wall!"
