The daily life of a concubine's daughter

Shi Yao placed one hand on her forehead, which felt as if it was burning, and laughed at herself silently.

The wife of the Duke was in charge of the inner quarters. As the affairs were complicated, she asked her eldest daughter-in-law, the Crown Prince's wife, Fu Nanjun, to assist in the management.

I don’t know what this eldest sister-in-law came for. Knowing that the two maids had bad intentions, she could still leave her to them with peace of mind. Isn’t she really afraid that they will go all out and harm her?

As for where Fu Nanjun went, it is not difficult to guess.

He must have suspected that the medicine was poisoned, so he hurried next door to report to the Madam Dowager and the Duke's wife, fearing that someone would attack the apple of the Duke's eye.

Shi Yao closed her eyes, her head was burning, and the air she exhaled from her nose was hot.

At this moment, I miss my mother very much.

Shannai rubbed his chest where he was kicked and sobbed softly. He didn't dare to scream even though he was seeing stars in pain.

Song Lan was a bold person. Seeing Fu Nanjun went to the next door without saying anything and left Shi Yao alone, she stood up and pointed at Shi Yao and cried, "Miss, please forgive us when you can. We were arranged by the Duke's wife to serve you. What good will it do for you to punish us? Aren't you afraid that the Duke's wife will be annoyed by your meddling?"

Shi Yao glanced at him and said lazily, "Oh, you are so arrogant, you should be punished."

Song Lan sneered: "So you are a pig pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger. You really should let everyone in the mansion see your true face."

Shi Yao sneered: "Everyone in the mansion will only see your ugly face. Others laugh at me, but they dare not do so in person. They are just like you, who are strong on the outside but weak on the inside. What should I, a rich lady, be afraid of? But you, without the protection of your master, they dare not only laugh at you in person, but also humiliate you."

Woad shuddered.

I finally understood that the master is always the master, no matter how down and out he is, and the servant is always the servant, even if he is valued by the master and has some respect, he is still a "servant."

Thinking about what would happen to her if the Duke's wife got angry, Song Lan couldn't help but wipe away tears: "It was just a mouthful of spit, and you didn't even drink it. Why are you so unreasonable?"

Shi Yao said calmly: "Yes, it was just a mouthful of spit. Why didn't you dare to reply when your sister-in-law interrogated you just now?"

After saying that, she closed her eyes and dozed off.

I'm too lazy to argue with a girl who's not in her right mind.

The Duke's Mansion follows the rules of a wealthy family. From now on, she will behave like her master and act like a noble lady.

Indigo sobbed and complained, and finally burst into tears.

A moment later, the Duke's wife and Fu Nanjun led a large group of people to capture Songlan and Shannai. Shannai was so scared that she fainted and Songlan wet his pants.

The doctor who followed took away the half bowl of remaining medicine.

The Duke's wife said a few words of concern and then left in a hurry.

Shi Yao huddled in the quilt, shivering from heat to cold, and asked innocently, "Sister-in-law, what did they do?"

"Don't be afraid, second sister," Fu Nanjun said compassionately, "There might be something unclean in the medicine. The two maids must know something. When mother found out, she was very anxious, fearing that they would harm second sister, so she hurriedly asked people to arrest them for interrogation. Steward Wang, who was in charge of the medicinal materials, and the maids and servants who cooked the medicine were all arrested. We must get a result today."

Implicit in her words, the entire Duke's Mansion was in chaos because of her.

Shi Yao was grateful.

So, Shi Yao was moved and said: "My aunt and sister-in-law are both good people. They didn't treat me as an outsider or treat me with estrangement."

Fu Nanjun choked. How should she say the next words?

After hearing the following words, Shi Yao probably no longer thought they were good people.

But since the lady had spoken, the mother-in-law couldn't say anything and didn't want to offend anyone, so the bad guy had to be her, the daughter-in-law.

She raised her hand and tucked the loose hair on Shi Yao's temples behind her ears, and said softly, "I have sent someone to get the medicine from outside. Please wait a moment, sister. The medicine will be brought back immediately after it is boiled. After taking the medicine, sister will feel better."

Shi Yao looked at her dependently, tears flashing in her eyes, and she looked very pitiful: "Thank you, sister-in-law. When I was in Jinling, every time I was sick, Auntie was like this, rushing to find a doctor for me, boiling medicine, feeding me medicine, and comforting me in a gentle voice. After taking the medicine, I felt better."

Fu Nanjun felt ashamed.

She had heard about Shi Yao's situation in the old house in Jinling. Her life was hard, only slightly better off than ordinary people, but not even as glamorous as the maids around these young ladies and ladies.

No matter how poor your life is, if you get sick, you can immediately see a doctor and get medicine.

It's not like when we came to the Duke's Mansion, even if we invited ten doctors, those ten doctors would first check Shi Mingzhu and then Shi Yao.

That's fine, after taking the medicine, the people below are still causing trouble.

I almost lost my life.

Fu Nanjun felt that the words on his tongue were burning his lips, but there was nothing he could do because Shi Mingzhu was the one the whole family pampered.

Shi Yao is pitiful, after all, he doesn't have much affection for her.

She felt even more sorry for Mingzhu, whom she had watched grow up.

"My sister has woken up. The news reached the old lady. I wonder how happy she is. It's not that I don't love you. It's just that your elder sister next door has a high fever and hasn't woken up yet. I can only watch over her."

Shi Yao felt very disappointed, knowing that Fu Nanjun was about to get to the point, and that what he said was not going to be nice.

Poor thing, even her pretending to be weak and obedient failed to impress Fu Nanjun.

"Thank you for your concern, sister-in-law, go back and thank her for me, and tell her to rest more and not to overwork herself."

Fu Nanjun tucked the corner of the quilt for Shi Yao, and his voice became softer: "You are a filial child. The old lady also wanted to rest for a while, but there was nothing she could do. Your elder sister was in a nightmare and cried your name in her dream. We invited a Taoist priest to see her, and he said that the elder sister and you may have conflicting horoscopes, and you two must be separated before you can live in peace.

When the old lady heard this, she repeatedly ordered them to get out, but when she thought about it carefully, she was afraid that there would be any trouble. "Little sister, think about it. Just as you returned home, your elder sister fell into the water. Now, both of you have caught a cold and are lying down. If you continue to live next to each other, and if neither of you gets better, wouldn't it be a big sin? By then, it will be too late to destroy your intestines."

Therefore, the old lady thought, since the younger sister woke up first, why not move her to another courtyard for the time being, and wait until both of you have recovered, and then make plans, wouldn't that be the best of both worlds? "

Shi Yao almost vomited blood.

What a joke!

If she is kicked out of Guanju Courtyard, the whole house will know about it today, without having to wait until tomorrow, that the second young lady has fallen out of favor and can be bullied by everyone!

The ice hole that Shi Mingzhu fell into was created by the wet nurse of Shi Yunyi, the grandson of the eldest son, who was washing diapers for the young master Shi Yunyi.

Shi Yunyi is the son of Shi Mingwei, the second son of the eldest son.

The Duchess was probably worried that the Lady Dowager would dislike Shi Yunyi, so she invited a Taoist priest to talk nonsense and put the entire blame for Shi Mingzhu's fall into the water on her, right?

Furthermore, the maid who delivered the message yesterday said that an "evil wind" blew Shi Mingzhu into the ice hole, which further confirmed what the Taoist said about the "clash of eight characters".

No one else objected, except for Shi Mingzhu, the group's favorite. They felt that Shi Yao was an insignificant person and it didn't matter whether she was offended or not. What was important was to make Shi Mingzhu feel relieved and her early recovery was the top priority.

It doesn’t matter whether the Taoist’s words are accurate or not.
