Luo Mingshi had been smiling from start to finish. Seeing that Fourth Concubine was feeling better, she personally passed a cup of hot tea to him and said: "Fourth Concubine, do you want to invite a doctor to take a look at your pulse?"
Fourth Concubine was surprised, then immediately replied: "No need, I'm fine."
This child was conceived immediately after she used the Tiger Wolf's medicine. She felt weak and was afraid that the doctor would notice something, so she directly rejected him. As she spoke, she unconsciously stroked her stomach.
When Luo Mingshi saw Fourth Concubine's reaction, she also secretly made up her mind. She continued, "If Aunt has business with me, she can stay in the room and send someone to look for me. Why wait in the cold for so long?" This was a direct reprimand.
Fourth Concubine felt unspeakable pain in his heart, and she endured it. The reason why she was waiting there, was because she originally wanted Luo Mingshi to take the initiative and welcome her into Quiet House, thus she came up with such a plan. She initially thought that it would only take Luo Mingshi half a quarter of an hour to walk into Fire Maple Pavilion, and never thought that this girl would actually dare to leave her alone for so long.
For a moment, he felt hatred and resentment, but he didn't know what was going on. He thought, "This time, I'll make you proud. I'll teach you a lesson later."
The Fourth Concubine laughed awkwardly, she did not answer, but only spoke a little coldly, and went to find a stove in the autumn. Luo Mingshi then sent Wang Chun to get a cloak for the Fourth Concubine, no matter what request the Fourth Concubine had, Luo Mingshi only smiled at her, and then, they would both be satisfied.
Fourth Concubine looked around and said: "I heard that Second Miss's Nu Hong is extremely good, I wonder if this lowly concubine can also take a fancy to her."
Luo Mingshi finally saw through Fourth Concubine's intentions. Wang Chun and Wei Qiu had already been ordered to leave, and now he was asking her to fetch the female red hair for him for him to show him to him. To force everyone to move away, what was Fourth Concubine trying to do?
Luo Mingshi deliberately said lazily: "Fourth Concubine, don't tell me you want to wait a little longer? When Wang Chun comes, I will call her to go get it. "
When Fourth Concubine heard this, she immediately said, "I'll have to trouble Second Miss to retrieve it. I would like to see it right now."
Luo Mingshi raised her eyebrows, as expected, he wanted to push her away, but she remained calm and collected, and only said: "Then I will trouble Fourth Concubine to wait, I will be back shortly." Luo Mingshi stood up and was about to leave when she saw Fourth Concubine revealing a smile.
Luo Mingshi did not really leave, but hid by the door and looked inside. Coincidentally, Wang Chun also came over at this time, in her hand was the cape she wanted to give to Fourth Concubine.
Luo Mingshi raised her hand, signalling Wang Chun not to reveal anything, and Wang Chun tacitly understood that she did not say anything, the two of them stood outside and looked inside, only to see Fourth Concubine, with an extremely fast speed, taking out a handful of medicinal powder from her bosom, pouring it into the cup of tea.
Wang Chun's eyes were wide open, she wanted to go up and stop them, but she was stopped by Luo Mingshi, who still had a smile on her face, to disturb the Fourth Concubine!
Wang Chun quickly whispered, "Miss, she wants to poison you."
Luo Mingshi also said, "The poison was fake, but it was real enough to frame me." Thinking about it, she whispered something into Wang Chun's ear, and Wang Chun accepted her orders.
Luo Mingshi estimated that it was about time, and entered the house empty-handed once again. Seeing the Fourth Concubine, without waiting for her to speak, she said: "This is really not good, Fourth Concubine, for a moment I could not find where I put all my women's red points, I'm afraid I am unable to take anything out to show you." You don't really want to see it anyway.
It was probably because of what he had always wanted to do, and now that he had started to talk, it became much more natural. "I had originally wanted to make some clothes for my child, but when the child was born and I was able to put them on, and you were an extremely good beauty, then I came to find you."
Luo Mingshi smiled and listened, she did not blame them at all, it seemed that they were very tolerant, and waited until Fourth Concubine finished, and then said: Fourth Concubine is too courteous, it has never been here before, it is my first time here, it is truly a rare guest.
Fourth Concubine felt a little awkward, but just as she was about to cover it up with her teacup, she realized that she just added something in, so she quickly put it down.
Luo Mingshi looked at it and pretended to be concerned: "But tea isn't good?"
Fourth Concubine quickly replied: "The tea is excellent, I have already drank a lot, so I don't feel thirsty right now."
Luo Mingshi revealed an understanding smile and did not speak any further.
Fourth Concubine rolled her eyes and asked tentatively: "I heard that Second Miss suffered a little on Old Mistress' birthday?" Without waiting for Luo Mingshi's reply, she immediately said: "It's a pity that I have always been by this old lady's side and haven't seen Second Miss. Otherwise, I would have to help Second Young Miss vent her anger towards those bunch of women." With that said, he stared at Luo Mingshi's face and observed her reaction.
After Luo Mingshi heard this, her face immediately became sad, and he became silent. There was nothing else but embarrassment.
If the Fourth Concubine was not here, Luo Mingshi would have laughed out loud. If he wanted to probe her, he would not say it out loud, would he, an aunt, dare to act so rashly towards the servants? Or for her? Are you joking? She was afraid that all she really wanted to say was: I have always been by her side, that's all.
Seeing Luo Mingshi's expression, Fourth Concubine's heart calmed down a bit.
Wang Chun also walked in with the cape in her hand. Luo Mingshi took the cape and secretly glanced at him, then walked towards Fourth Concubine with the cape raised up, Fourth Concubine saw him standing up in fear, so Luo Mingshi took the chance to walk to the other side of Fourth Concubine to block her view. She was afraid that she would not be able to block her path, so she pulled the cape apart and held it up even higher.
Fourth Concubine was happy to hear this, and said with a terrified voice: "How dare I trouble young miss to take action." She immediately put them on.
Luo Mingshi then stepped in front of her aunt, received the look in her eyes, and knew that she had succeeded. She stretched out her slender fingers to help Fourth Concubine tie the collar of her shirt, and laughed: "Why shouldn't I?
A trace of uneasiness flashed past Fourth Concubine's eyes, and she allowed Luo Mingshi to do as she pleased. The two of them sat there and chatted for a while.
My stomach, it hurts, ah ? it hurts." Before Luo Mingshi and Wang Chun could react, Meng Meng immediately said, "Auntie, I'll go find a doctor for you." He then hurriedly ran out.
Luo Mingshi watched coldly from the side, thinking that this must be a trick. She reckoned that the tea must be used to cure a pregnant woman's miscarriage.
Fourth Concubine was shouting excitedly, the maidservants beside her had also coordinated with her, and were shouting nonstop: "Fourth Concubine, Fourth Concubine, hold on!"
Fourth Concubine also shouted with all her might, as if she was suffering from immense pain, gasping for breath, "Quickly go, go get the old lady."
Luo Mingshi sat there without moving, Wang Chun was also standing behind him, the master and servant were as steady as Mt. Tai, allowing the two people who were acting to start beating their hearts, logically speaking, they should not act like that.
In less than half an incense worth of time, the doctor had arrived. The old lady was slightly inferior to him, causing Luo Mingshi to think sorrowfully, could it be that the old lady was colluding with the Fourth Concubine? Otherwise, how could he have come to her place so quickly when he was far away in the Southern Hill Estate?
