Chapter 104 The Heart of Women
"D. Hua?" When Xiao Lingxiao heard Bao Ronger come back to tell her about this, he couldn't help frowning, "Who is this Dr. Hua?"
The old lady is old, so she has been raising a doctor surnamed Guan in the Prime Minister's mansion. If there is a serious situation, Xiao Shuyong will ask the imperial doctor of the Imperial Medical Office to come for treatment, but this Hua doctor, Xiao Lingxiao has never heard of it.
"I heard that Dr. Hua is not good at diagnosis. He is good at prescriptions." Bao Ronger naturally heard this from the mouth of Begonia. The so-called prescription medicine, of course, is not an ordinary medicine, but a variety of drugs with unexpected effects. The most common is aphrodisiac. Large families have more or less demand for this kind of thing, and this Dr. Hua relies on this to gain a foothold in the imperial city.
Xiao Lingxiao frowned more tightly when he heard the words. The eldest lady is now pregnant. What's the use of that kind of medicine? Could it be that she wanted to repeat the old trick as when Xiao Huanxue drugged Xiao Fengming? The first lady should not be so stupid.
It's useless to think too much. Xiao Lingxiao hooked his finger and called Bao Ronger. After lying in her ear and telling her a few words, Bao Rong'er smiled and left.
In the next few days, Xiao Lingxiao automatically and consciously came to the eldest lady to help every day. As for helping, in fact, the eldest lady didn't lie at all. There are really a lot of things to prepare for the Prime Minister's house for the New Year. In terms of the money on the book alone, more than a dozen accountants are busy, not to mention other trivial matters. The third aunt and the eighth aunt were assigned heavy work, and Xiao Lingxiao was deliberately left by the eldest lady to check the accounts of the Xiao family in and out of this year.
"Our Xiao family is a big family, and we can't make any mistakes inside and outside. Ling Xiao, you have to look carefully." The first lady looked serious, but her voice was extremely gentle.
Xiao Lingxiao sat at the table, looked at the stacks of account books, and suddenly sneered.
The first lady was stunned when she saw this, but saw Xiao Lingxiao get up and stand up again and said with a smile, "I heard from my servants that my mother asked me to come and help. I thought my mother really relied on me. But I didn't expect that your mother deliberately called me to insult me?"
Xiao Lingxiao's words made the old lady even more confused. She asked Xiao Lingxiao to check the account book, but she didn't move at all.
Xiao Lingxiao sighed and looked at the accountant around him who pretended to listen to the movements here. He smiled and said, "My mother may have forgotten. Needless to say, even the younger brothers in the house began to read when they were five years old. At the beginning, I saw that my second sister and third sister were studying interesting, so I went to eavesdrop. As a result, my mother found out. Didn't she punish me severely? I still remember that at that time, my mother said that I was different from the second sister and the third sister, and I would not become a big one in the future. After getting married, I would just be a woman with three virtues and four virtues. Later, I was blind, and I didn't have the opportunity to read and read. Mother, don't you want me to check some accounts? Isn't it bullying me, an illiterate?
Xiao Lingxiao's words are true. In the past, Xiao Lingxiao was indeed illiterate. Fortunately, now she travels through time, and she can naturally read. However, this account work is troublesome and easy to make mistakes, so Xiao Lingxiao is unwilling to do it. In addition, she can't reveal her identity when she travels through time. Of course, she has to refuse it clearly. What's more, this is also an opportunity to uncover the old lady's background. Although it will not have much impact on her, it should not be let go.
If she doesn't mention it, the old lady will really forget it. At the beginning, she found a gentleman for Xiao Huanyu and Xiao Huanxue to teach them to read and read, but Xiao Lingxiao was curious and went to eavesdrop. The old lady really didn't show mercy that time and beat Xiao Lingxiao hard. It was from then that Xiao Huanyu and Xiao Huanxue began to bully Xiao Lingxiao, the eldest sister.
The corners of the old lady's eyes glanced at the accountants not far away and secretly shouted that it was not good. Xiao Lingxiao must have deliberately shaken out the previous things in public.
"It's all my mother's fault, and she's busy and dizzy. Lingxiao, didn't you study because you were in poor health at that time? The old lady tried her best to save her face. She took Xiao Lingxiao's hand and walked out. As she walked, she was thinking about how to win back a city. She was walking to the threshold. The old lady's eyes lit up, and her feet slanted, and her body suddenly rushed to the ground.
Her attack scared the people around her. Now she has a stomach. If she falls to the ground, something big must happen. At this moment, the eldest lady had already taken Xiao Lingxiao's hand. Xiao Lingxiao reacted between the lightning and flints and called "the wolf" in a dark voice, and pulled back with her hand.
Everyone saw that the old lady's body had lost its balance, but the next moment, she stood miraculously.
Even the eldest lady herself felt incredible. She was obviously going to fall down and was pulled by Xiao Lingxiao again, and the power seemed to be too much!
"My mother is pregnant. Why do I walk so carelessly?" Xiao Lingxiao held the old lady's arm and said preemptively.
However, the old lady didn't give it for nothing. She was only stunned for a moment, then looked back, looked at her feet again, and said with a puzzled face, "I walked well. Why do I feel that someone tripped me..."
At this time, the old lady's maids hurried forward and squeezed Xiao Lingxiao into the distance with hostility. Liang's mother stared at Xiao Lingxiao and said in a shrill voice, "There is only the eldest lady beside me. How can anyone else trip over your wife?"
Xiao Lingxiao didn't talk to him when he heard the words, but he heard the eldest lady scold his mother Liang, "What's the matter with your mouth? If Lingxiao hadn't held me, wouldn't I have fallen just now?"
Mother Liang knew that the eldest lady was not really scolding, and muttered in a low voice, "But she is really good at pretending. Maybe she has some crooked eyes."
"Hit!" The first lady was happy, but she scolded again. Then she turned her head and said to Xiao Lingxiao with a smile, "Lingxiao, your subordinate's mouth is broken. Don't take it to heart. Let's go to the warehouse quickly. It doesn't matter if you can't read. You still have a good eye for picking things. There should be some decorations in each yard during the Spring Festival. It's up to you.
Xiao Lingxiao nodded with a shallow smile and had no intention of resisting at all.
The first lady brought Xiao Lingxiao to the warehouse. After explaining, she took someone away. Before leaving, the eldest lady did not forget to give her eyes to several people who managed the warehouse, and the other party naturally understood.
Xiao Lingxiao has been staring at the first lady. The eyes she left, Xiao Lingxiao looked at it clearly.
The work of adding things is also simple, that is, the objects in the warehouse are assigned to each yard for decoration according to the height. When the Spring Festival is over, it still needs to be recovered. Xiao Lingxiao looked at the servants to take things in front of her one by one, and then specify where to be assigned.
The Prime Minister's family is rich, and Xiao Lingxiao has seen it today. She estimated the price of these things and wanted Xiao Shuyong to be ruthless, but she might not be able to pay her one million taels of silver.
At night, when Xiao Lingxiao returned to Qingheyuan, he saw Bao Ronger coming over with a smile and whispered, "The master expects things like a god. That's really the case."
Xiao Lingxiao smiled, but the smile slowly disappeared.
She guessed that the eldest lady could get rid of her by borrowing other people's hands several times. This time, she should finally do it by herself, but Xiao Lingxiao did not expect that she would use that method.
"Master, this matter is confirmed. Do you think we will get rid of the first lady all at once?" The more Bao Ronger knew about the things in the Prime Minister's mansion, the more she understood why Xiao Lingxiao was dedicated to revenge. In the past, even Bao Ronger, the demon wolf, couldn't stand it.
Xiao Lingxiao thought for a moment and shook his head and said, "I'm going to throw her into hell first, and then let her wait to die slowly."
When Bao Ronger saw Xiao Lingxiao say this, her eyes were full of coldness, and she couldn't help shivering. Since she followed Xiao Lingxiao, she has always felt that the master is actually a knife-mouthed bean curd heart. Even for an enemy like the eldest lady, she has never had the intention to kill. But now it seems that the master is going to be serious...
"This matter needs to be done without leaking water." Xiao Lingxiao told Bao Ronger, and Bao Ronger nodded seriously.
After dinner, Xiao Fengming appeared as if he had been timed. He doesn't know what he is busy with these days. He always shows his face at this time at night every day, and basically doesn't appear during the day.
"Ring Xiao, the matter of Chufu Building has been clarified." Xiao Fengming had a rare smile on his face and looked a little irritable.
Xiao Lingxiao asked him to sit down, poured him a cup of tea, and asked, "What's going on?"
Xiao Fengming took a sip of tea and looked a little angry. He said, "The Chufu Building is also a mysterious place, and even Shang Lingyu took a lot of effort to find out the details there. In the end, I found out that it was actually the property of the fifth prince!"
"The Fifth Prince?" As soon as Xiao Lingxiao heard this person, he felt an extremely headache. Although she didn't have much contact with this guy, she felt that the man was extremely deep and not a provoking role. More importantly, the relationship between him and Lu Zhongyang is really unpredictable. Looking at the intimacy of the fifth prince to Lu Zhongyang, Xiao Lingxiao was almost convinced that they were broken.
If that's the case, isn't it more chaotic? Or is there any trouble in it?
The more Xiao Lingxiao thought about it, the more entangled he became. He couldn't wait to call Lu Zhongyang immediately to ask what was going on.
Just as Xiao Lingxiao was thinking about this, Xiao Fengming suddenly shouted at the window, "Where did the thief come from? Get out of here!"
As soon as the window opened, the man in black came in quickly.
Lu Zhongyang!
Xiao Lingxiao's eyes widened and his heart was shocked. Does this guy have a special function of telepathy?
Lu Zhongyang looked at Bao Ronger and did not remove the veil. Seeing this, Xiao Lingxiao waved her hand to Bao Ronger. Bao Ronger stared at Lu Zhongyang and turned around and left. When she left, Lu Zhongyang took off his veil and asked Xiao Fengming with a gloomy face, "I heard you say that the fifth prince outside the window... Is Chufulou really the fifth prince?"
Xiao Fengming looked at him coldly and mumbled, "It's true."
Lu Zhongyang's face was even heavier when he heard the words, his eyebrows were locked, and he muttered to himself, "Oh no..."
