Chapter 41 The Old Slave
Chapter 41 Old slave
"Siyu, don't talk nonsense! All the ingredients we use in the kitchen are fresh, and we definitely won't vomit after eating them!" Liu's mother suddenly threw down her spoon, stuck it in her waist and shouted.
"The food eaten in the entire Hou Mansion comes from the kitchen. Others are fine, so why is your lady in trouble? Is it because your lady is too delicate and can't even eat normal meals?"
"You'd better go back quickly and ask the doctor to take a good pulse on the third lady. Don't do it for other reasons..."
Mother Liu had her hands on her waist, she was not forgiving, and she meant what she said.
Siyu was furious just now. After all, she was still a girl. How could she speak against Liu Ma, an old woman in the world? Now that she heard what she said, she was even more furious.
"You dare to arrange the third lady?" Siyu was very angry.
"I didn't arrange the third lady. My mother, Liu, is also concerned about the third lady's health. Don't cause any trouble at that time." Liu's mother opened her mouth and came. She has been in the Hou Mansion for many years. Even if she behaves, she can't be faulted. Thinking
Yu Na is her opponent.
"Just wait!" Siyu was trembling with anger. She felt that there was nothing to be gained by arguing with her at this time.
A group of people gathered around, whispering.
Siyu forgot about Zhang Anchu's request for millet porridge and turned to look for Aunt Bai.
When Aunt Bai saw her coming, her face turned ugly and angry, and she was obviously still angry.
"Aunt Bai, the third lady vomited after eating today. I went to the kitchen to argue, but Liu Ma opened her mouth and came right away. She also pointed out that the third lady had other reasons.
Don't cause trouble!" Siyu said this, and finally couldn't help crying, and said: "I can't defeat her, but now the third lady's reputation has been ruined by Liu Ma's mouth! Please let Aunt Bai make the decision!
"
Aunt Bai understood what happened and thought that Siyu was still young and would not be a match for those old ladies in the kitchen, so she helped Siyu up.
Since the commotion has reached this level because of this matter today, she must go and calm it down, otherwise she will think she is afraid of them.
"Where's the third lady's vomiting?" Aunt Bai asked.
"Miss Third vomited in the garden. It hasn't been long now, so no one should have cleaned her up yet." Siyu replied, wondering what Aunt Bai meant by asking this.
"Pack up the vomited food, and then ask Doctor Shen to go to the third lady's place." Aunt Bai ordered, and then led the maid to Zhang Anchu's courtyard.
After Zhang Anchu came back, she lay down on the bed. She never expected that the third prince would look like this.
It's like being a slut, it's really disgusting.
He also deliberately looked so affectionate, but she didn't even notice.
"Why are you vomiting today? Auntie Bai has already invited Doctor Shen to come over and take a closer look." Auntie Bai came to the edge of her bed and stretched out her hand to touch her forehead. She found that it was not hot.
"Auntie, I'm fine. I feel better after I vomited it out." Zhang Anchu replied. She felt guilty when talking to Auntie Bai, but she still pretended to be calm.
Speaking of it today, it was her fault and she felt quite regretful. If she could do it all over again, she would never go to the appointment.
At that time, she thought that even if the third prince sent a letter, he would ask a woman to deliver it. It seemed that he also valued her reputation.
If you go to your appointment at this time, you should be fine.
The mahogany comb in her hand was held tightly, and Aunt Bai saw it inadvertently.
"Is this a mahogany comb carved by Hongze?" Aunt Bai picked it up from her hand and looked at it carefully. The workmanship was meticulous and even more exquisite than the ones sold in the shop. She said with some envy: "I haven't seen him carve a comb for me either.
.”
"Auntie, my brother carved a lot of peach wood combs before he came up with such an exquisite one. I guess my aunt will have to wait a long time to receive the gift, so let him take his time." Zhang Anchu smiled and said.
After a while, Siyu invited Dr. Shen to come. Zhang Anchu knew that Aunt Bai was here today and she would definitely not be able to escape. She didn't know about the kitchen, so she secretly blamed Siyu for being talkative. Why should she talk to Aunt Bai?
She is worried.
Doctor Shen took his pulse and asked some more questions. Zhang Anchu's face turned a little red. She didn't usually lie, but she did today.
It's just that you really can't explain this kind of thing to others, otherwise your reputation will be completely lost.
Finally, Dr. Shen concluded: "Miss San has no stomach pain or bloating on weekdays. It should not be due to Miss San's health. It is estimated that today's meal is not that fresh."
"My servant said, it must be about today's meal, how dare they fool around with it!" Siyu said angrily from the side.
Aunt Bai nodded and asked, "Doctor Shen, do you need to prescribe some medicine for her?"
"Miss Third is not feeling well now and has vomited out her food. There is no need to prescribe any more medicine. The medicine is probably half poisonous, so it's better to eat less." Dr. Shen packed up his things and said.
"Thank you, Doctor Shen." Aunt Bai turned her head and motioned to the maid beside her, who took out the reward and handed it to her.
Doctor Shen has a monthly salary in the Hou Mansion, but he will also receive rewards. This is an unwritten rule in the Hou Mansion.
After Doctor Shen left, Aunt Bai asked Siyu: "Have everything been packed?"
"Go back to Aunt Bai, the servants have already been cleaned up." Siyu replied, she was still waiting for Aunt Bai to clean up these old ladies.
Zhang Anchu was puzzled. He didn't know what kind of riddle the two of them were trying to solve, so he said, "What are you packing?"
"I'll talk to you in detail when I get back." Aunt Bai handed her a plate of pastries and said, "If you're hungry, just eat some snacks first, and I'll bring you a bowl of walnut almond syrup when I get back."
Zhang Anchu nodded lightly and watched the two of them leave. Even the nanny followed, not knowing what was going on.
"Sixue, do you know where Aunt Bai and the others are going?" Zhang Anchu called Sixue and asked curiously.
"I don't know, the nanny and Siyu didn't say anything." Si Xue replied stupidly and obediently.
Zhang Anchu had no choice but to wait for Aunt Bai to come back and talk to her.
Siyu held the container of vomit and said she was lying if she said she wasn't disgusted, but she still endured it.
Aunt Bai led them to the big kitchen. As soon as they entered, the people picking vegetables in the yard saw them. They quickly stood up and communicated with Liu Ma in the kitchen.
Ma Liu walked out of the kitchen door. Aunt Bai was the master after all, so she should bow to her. Even if she was arrogant and an old man in the house, there was no reason why she should not bow.
But unfortunately, Ma Liu knew about Aunt Bai's background, and the Prince of Peking didn't want to see her. Ma Liu also knew it.
So what if I don't salute?
"Hey, here comes the small one, and then the big one." Liu's mother mocked, and gave another irregular salute.
Seeing this, Aunt Bai snorted coldly in her heart and said, "How many years has Mother Liu been in the Hou Mansion?"
"This old slave entered the Hou Mansion earlier than Aunt Bai. He is Mrs. Hou's dowry, and he is also an old man in the house!" Mother Liu did not give Aunt Bai a good look, and deliberately mentioned her origins, so that Aunt Bai would look for trouble.
