Chapter 9 Show your edge

Zhulian stood quietly behind and looked at Xia Mengning. She only felt that the third lady had completely changed since she woke up. She was not only not afraid of the eldest lady, but also hated Fu's mother. Humph, Zhulian thought, fortunately, the third lady recognized Fu's mother's face early. She was always harsh to the young lady, and now she has to It's time for retribution.

"Pearl Lotus!" Xia Mengning whispered, "Is it safe in Fangfei Garden?"

Zhulian stepped forward and helped Xia Mengning to the table and sat down. "The maid just saw the young lady holding Biyi back to Fangfei Garden, and there was no expression on her face."

"Oh?" Xia Mengning was slightly surprised, and then relieved that she must have had a bad idea again.

"Miss, do you want to pass on lunch?" Zhulian asked, "I took it back and put it in the outer hall a long time ago. Let's use it now."

Xia Mengning answered and walked out of the door to the outer hall. Zhulian served the food. There were four dishes and one soup, an eight-treasure assorted dish, a steamed mandarin fish, a hibiscus chicken, and a salad with three shreds. In the middle was a large bowl of old duck soup. The staple food was a bowl of rice. Xia Mengning used some and thought that the food she had given to be better than Today's good, it seems that this Liwei is really useful.

After eating, Xia Mengning drank tea and rinsed her mouth. A woman came in and asked, "Miss San, the old lady told Dr. Wu to treat you."

Xia Mengning hurriedly stood up and recognized that the woman was the servant beside her grandmother. Although she was not as good as Chen's mother, she was also a person with a head and face.

"There is Lausin's mother. I don't know if Chen's mother is okay?"

Although Xin's mother is around the old lady, she is just a maidservant who cleans up the Buddhist hall. This time, Chen's mother is ill, and I asked me to send a message. Now when I see this third lady treating her with such courtesy, I immediately have a good impression.

"Miss San's words are a slave. Although Chen's mother is still lying **, her face is much better. The doctor said that she will get out of bed in a few days."

Xia Mengning nodded and said with some guilt, "If it weren't for me, my mother Chen wouldn't have suffered this catastrophe. I implicated my mother Chen, Zhulian, and went to get the black wooden box at the head of my bed."

With that, Zhulian took the box and came out. Xia Mengning took the box and handed it to Xin's mother. "This is the hundred-year-old wild ginseng that my father gave me a year ago. My young body recovered faster. This mountain ginseng had to trouble Xin's mother to send it to Chen's mother. She said that Ning'er was very guilty and could only use this to express her feelings. "

It's difficult for people to feel uncomfortable. Mother Xin nodded, "Miss San is really a kind person. I took Mother Chen to thank Miss San first."

Xia Mengning took off a string of Buddha beads from her hand. "Ning'er is just a concubine. She didn't have any money to buy those gifts. This string of Buddha beads was carved by Ning'er with good red sandalwood, and she sung it in front of the Buddha for seven or forty-nine days. It was said that Xin's mother was a Buddha. I'm afraid that ordinary gold and silver vulgar things can't be entered. Your eyes, this string of Buddha beads will be sent to Xin's mother. Thank you, Xin's mother for coming here for an errand.

Xin's mother took the Buddha beads and saw that the pattern was really carefully carved, and she was happy, "Thank you, Miss San."

After Xin's mother left, Zhulian immediately came forward and said, "Miss, you are always precious. Why did you give it away today?"

Xia Mengning smiled, "Zhulian, the people I trust most in the Prime Minister's mansion are you and my fourth aunt, but Fang's mother and daughter regard me as a thorn in the flesh. I want to fight against them, and I also need a reliable assistant."

Zhulian was happy at first. After all, it was a great honor for a girl to be appreciated by her master. Then she asked, "Miss wants to be Mother Xin..."

Xia Mengning looked at her and nodded. She straightened the folds on her clothes and said, "Go and invite Dr. Wu in." Zhulian answered, and after a while, Dr. Wu came in with the medicine box on his back. Xia Mengning asked Zhulian to bring a stool for Dr. Wu and said with a smile, "Dr. Wu, please."

Dr. Wu nodded and finished his pulse before saying, "The number of green leaves in the third lady's body does not seem to be large, and there are signs that they will be removed. In my opinion, it will be in three days at most."

After listening to this, Xia Mengning picked up the teacup and drank tea inadvertently. "Thank you, Dr. Wu. By the way, Dr. Wu, I heard that Ling Qianjin has followed you to learn medicine since she was a child. She must know a lot of medical science, right?"

Dr. Wu's face was a little embarrassed. "The little girl has been naughty since she was a child. She just learned a little."

Xia Mengning covered her lips and smiled and said, "Why should Dr. Wu be modest? A few days ago, I heard about the deeds of a chivalrous woman who beat a group of ruffians on the street. She is very good at a young age."

Dr. Wu's face was so bright that he remembered that he had been hanging a pot to help the world all his life, and his son also competed to work as editor in the Hanlin Academy. However, his only daughter Wu Qing was a fake boy. She usually loved to dress up as a man. When she was a child, she was sent to the deep mountains to study. I didn't expect that she had honed good sex for so many years. Son, even more so than when I was a child. Now I don't know that I have such a daughter in the capital. If it is known by others, I'm afraid no one dares to marry her.

Thinking of this, Dr. Wu nodded, "The third lady is very powerful. That woman is the little girl."

Xia Mengning smiled and said, "D. Wu was born such a heroine. It's really a glorious family."

Hearing this sentence, Dr. Wu, who was still heartbroken, stood up with a slight anger on his face. "Since Miss San knows, there is no need to be sarcastic about me. I will leave first."

Xia Mengning stood up in a hurry and said, "D. Wu misunderstood. What Ning'er admires most in her life is that she dares to act and is not inferior to the man's daughter's family at all. How can she slander?"

Dr. Wu turned around and looked puzzled, "What do you mean?"

Xia Mengning smiled and then bent down to salute Dr. Wu. "Ning'er hopes that Dr. Wu can send his daughter to the house to help me."

Dr. Wu was stunned, "What do you mean, send Qinger to the house?"

Xia Mengning said, "I'm afraid that Dr. Wu also knows those things in this deep house courtyard. They are all muddy water. Ning'er is a concubine. She doesn't want to be rich and noble. She just wants to save her life. Hearing that the daughter's hands and feet are very powerful, he wants to invite her to come to the house to accompany me."

Dr. Wu understood and thought for a moment and said, "Then do you want Qing'er to be a girl for you?"

Xia Mengning shook her head and said, "I will say so nominally, but in fact, I will treat her as a sister. When I get old, I can also make a good marriage for her!"

Dr. Wu didn't care about the previous words, but the last sentence. Although Qing'er is still young, she will eventually get married. If she is allowed to go on like this, not to mention getting married, I'm afraid that the man will have to run away when he sees her. At that time, he will have no face to meet her mother underground. Thinking of this, Dr. Wu turned his heart to be a girl. This young man grew up in the deep mountains, and there must be no delicateness of a daughter. Maybe the third lady can really subdue her, so he said, "Okay, I believe in the third lady once, and I will send someone tomorrow. Don't break her word."

Xia Mengning nodded, "Of course not, Zhulian, send Dr. Wu!"

Back to the inner room, Xia Mengning just continued to study the piano score. Zhulian sent Dr. Wu away and came in with some worry and asked, "Miss, is it really appropriate for you to do this?"

Xia Mengning raised her head and said, "If you want to save your life in this house, you must have a powerful person around you. You and I can't do it. It's hard to guarantee that the Fang family won't jump over the wall in a hurry. It's always good to make preparations."

Zhulian nodded. Xia Mengning said, "It should be my grandmother's birthday in a few days. I have to prepare gifts in advance."

Nowadays, in this house, only relying on his grandmother is the most correct choice. Xia Chuanyuan is selfish and selfish. Thinking about his attitude towards himself, he knows that the fourth aunt is his aunt after all, and he can't say anything. I'm afraid that his actions in the past few days have aroused suspicion. In the future, he still have to fight with the spirit of 120,000 points. .

"Zhulian, let's go out for a walk."

I went out of the bamboo branch garden with Zhulian. From afar, I saw the maid stop and nodded to herself, "Miss San!"

Xia Mengning walked forward with the same face, but Zhulian secretly said, "Miss, what happened in Rongfu Hall yesterday has spread all over the house. Look at these maids, they usually look like they are above the top, and they don't have to salute obediently today."

Xia Mengning squeezed her lips slightly, "Zhulian, don't say anything more about this in the future. Be careful that there are ears in the wall. I'm afraid it will cause trouble if you are heard by the people next to you."

Zhulian nodded timidly and said, "I know I'm wrong."

Xia Mengning looked at her frightened face and couldn't help but relax her tone, "I'm not scolding you, but you are the girl close to me. Always pay more attention to your words and deeds, and don't be caught by others."

Zhulian smiled and saw that Xia Mengning was not really angry with herself, so she answered crisply, "I know."

When she walked to the garden in the front yard, Xia Mengning saw several figures on the pavilion not far away. From time to time, laughter came. After thinking about it, she turned around and was ready to go back and didn't want to join in the fun. Unexpectedly, the man refused to let go and soon caught up with him.

"Xia Mengning, you're not dead yet?"

Xia Mengning turned around, but saw the fourth lady Xia Mengyou and the fifth lady Xia Mengran standing in front of her. Xia Mengran was born to the fifth aunt. She had always been gentle and honest. She saw that she was busy bowing down and salute.

And speaking, it is naturally Xia Mengyou, who has always been the most bullying herself.

"I'm asking you, are you deaf?" Xia Mengyou stood in place and looked at Xia Mengning's smiling face and was angry. She heard that she had a lot of limelight yesterday, and even her eldest sister was imprisoned in her garden. Why did she just come out?

Thinking of this, he shouted again, "Are you dumb?"

Xia Mengning smiled and said, "The fourth sister is so angry. I was originally a quiet person. I really don't want to deal with such rude and rampant people. I'll leave first." After saying that, he held Zhulian's hand and walked back.

Xia Mengyou jumped angrily, caught up with Xia Mengning in a few steps, stopped her and said, "Xia Mengning, what do you mean? Who is a rude and rampant person? You understand."
