The daily life of a concubine's daughter
Chapter 60: Leaving Plagiarists No Way Out
After walking for a while, Shi Mingzhu felt really tired, so he sat down and asked someone to put out the four treasures of the study.
Lian Qiao advised: "Miss, please write less. The doctor told you not to overwork yourself."
"Well, I'll just write it down. It'll only take a quarter of an hour."
Shi Mingzhu wrote a poem "The Bright Moon Shines Before the Bed", a poem "When Will the Bright Moon Appear", and a poem "Suddenly a Spring Breeze Comes Overnight".
After writing three poems, he waited for the ink to dry, then put them away and stacked them in a box.
There were already about twenty sheets of paper in the box, which were the poems that Shi Yao had plagiarized and which she remembered during her time of recuperation, a total of more than thirty poems.
"Shi Yao" also copied other poems, but because they were not as good as these, she only remembered a few words here and there and did not remember the whole poem. Although it was a pity, it was enough.
These more than thirty poems are enough to bring down Shi Yao and expose her ugly true face as a plagiarist.
Soon, Nanny Jin came.
It turned out that Lady Zheng, the wife of the Duke, heard that Shi Yao had broken into her daughter's yard again to eat for free. She had to take care of Shi Mingwei and Shi Minghui who had a fever, so she couldn't spare the time, so she sent Nanny Jin to investigate the situation first.
Lian Qiao knew that Zheng would either come in person or send Nanny Jin, so she would wait by the door from time to time. As soon as she saw Nanny Jin, she would call out, "Nanny, you're finally here."
He went out to greet her enthusiastically, and with mixed feelings of shame and indignation accused Shi Yao of climbing over the wall to get a free meal.
Even though Nanny Jin was well-informed, she was still stunned and exclaimed: "I have never seen a young lady jumping up and down like this before. She must be a monkey reincarnated, and she is about to tear down the roof tiles!"
Lian Qiao thought of her cousin Mu Xiang's kindness and said, "The second girl was shameless and fierce. She forced our girl to eat and would not leave until she finished a whole bowl of food.
Our girl had never seen such a rascal before, so in order to get rid of her quickly, she had to swallow a bowl of rice, eat a bun, and eat half a bowl of vegetables. Look, she hasn't gone to bed yet, and the girl is still walking around in the room to digest her food."
Upon hearing this, Nanny Jin burst out laughing: "The young lady couldn't eat for many days, but a rascal cured her. So, even though he is a rascal, he has some good points." She hurriedly asked, "Did you vomit again?"
"No, he's fine. He'll take his medicine later and go to bed. Shi Mi and I will keep an eye on him, so that the Madam and the Nanny can pay attention to the Second Master and the Eighth Master."
Nanny Jin lifted the curtain and came in, asking Lian Qiao about what had just happened in detail. She felt relieved when she found that there were no omissions in Lian Qiao's words.
As she was about to leave, Shi Mingzhu said irritably, "Mammy, go tell mother that the people in the kitchen should be punished. Why do they do such disgusting things? She doesn't care, but it makes me suffer. I can't even eat in peace. She's a big mouth. If she tells everyone, it's mother who took the blame for those villains and her reputation will be tarnished for nothing."
Hearing the words and the tone, Nanny Jin was shocked.
What does girl mean?
What does it mean to be neither painful nor itchy?
Could it be that the girl wants to get some poison to kill the second girl?
Nanny Jin looked carefully at Shi Mingzhu's expression. Shi Mingzhu was no different from usual, dignified and elegant, with a slightly furrowed brow and a frail and delicate look.
She let out a breath slowly. The girl had always been kind-hearted. How could she be such a vicious person? She was probably thinking wrongly.
Nanny Jin secretly felt ashamed for doubting the girl's intentions and questioning her noble character. She smiled and said, "Madam You used to be a maid serving the Madam. After getting married, she is still loyal and remembers the Madam's kindness. She has never seen the second girl bullying the Madam. This is a bit too much. I will give her a stern reprimand later, and she will never dare to do it again."
Shi Mingzhu nodded.
I hope I can get rid of Shi Yao, this dog-skin plaster.
She didn't want to see Shi Yao's face, which would affect her recovery, nor did she want Shi Yao to take advantage of her.
How could a country girl be worthy of eating the meals of a legitimate daughter?
The chefs who cooked for her were recruited from all over the country by her grandparents, father and mother, second uncle and second aunt, and third uncle and third aunt. They bought the best ingredients from inside and outside the capital, and spent a huge amount of money, so she ate more exquisitely than the princes and princesses.
If Shi Yao wanted to eat it, she could just go and buy it with her own money. She didn't want to be taken advantage of.
However, Shi Yao is used to being thick-skinned. After having tasted the sweetness, it is difficult for her to go from extravagant to frugal. I am afraid she will come to eat for free often.
She had witnessed Shi Yao's shamelessness in her previous life.
"Mammy, please give the poems in this box to my third brother. He likes them."
Shi Mingzhu pointed to the small box on the table.
Nanny Jin picked up the box and said, "I'll take it to the Third Master right away."
?
From the next day, meals at Guanjuyuan returned to normal.
Shi Yao did not bother Shi Mingzhu again.
Shi Mingzhu doesn't like her, and she doesn't like Shi Mingzhu either.
All the troubles she encountered were caused by Shi Mingzhu.
But she, the villain, was fighting fiercely with a group of righteous people. Some of them were injured and their reputations were damaged. On the contrary, Shi Mingzhu remained clean and pure, still a high-spirited flower without a trace of dust.
No matter who it is, it is impossible for them to not have any resentment towards Shi Mingzhu.
Early in the morning, Shi Yao first asked the neighbors whether they had hired a doctor last night.
Muxiang was the most well-informed and had access to intelligence about Ganlutang and Lanpeiyuan. There was little that she didn't know about the backyard.
The servants in each courtyard of the Duke's Mansion are related to each other, so it is not easy for news to spread outside, but no secrets can be hidden inside.
Mu Xiang combed Shi Yao's hair while replying anxiously, "No, Nanny Jin went there last night and left. The young lady ate her meal and took her medicine peacefully, and slept soundly."
Could it be that the girl's behavior yesterday was intended to piss off the older girl to death?
The girl has a really dark heart!
Shi Yao breathed a sigh of relief: "I feel relieved now. At least my aunt won't come and smash my yard like my second sister-in-law did."
Muxiang became even more worried, always feeling that Shi Yao was harboring some bad intentions.
Shi Yao came to Ganlu Hall to pay her respects.
The news that she had eaten for free yesterday had spread throughout the backyard.
But the brothers were all lying down and their sisters-in-law had to serve them, so only the brothers Shi Mingzhen and Shi Mingying came with their wives.
Zheng and Rong are daughters-in-law, and they have to come to pay their respects every day even if the sky falls to show their filial piety.
The old duke, the eldest master and the third master were not there.
Soon, everyone dispersed.
The old lady kept Shi Yao and scolded her, "Did you bother your elder sister yesterday? Did you scare her so much that she hired a doctor again? If you want to eat good food in the future, come to my place. You can't have anything to eat at grandma's place. Don't disturb her while she is recovering from her illness."
Shi Mingzhu is almost the bottom line in the hearts of all the masters in the Duke's Mansion.
Shi Yao heard the blame in the lady's words, and she thought that in the lady's heart, she was still not as good as Shi Mingzhu.
She was not sad either, because in her mind, the lady was not even as good as her mother, at least for now.
She did not resent the lady for sending her and her mother to Jinling, and for taking her back to this den of tigers and wolves where there was no family affection when she grew up. This was already extremely filial piety.
