C7 Old lady camel
In the main courtyard.
Not long after, many people entered the main house. One after another, they all looked at each other, but no one said anything. The atmosphere was so stifling that it made people uneasy.
The people sitting on the flower chairs were all older brothers and sisters, while all the concubines were sitting on the embroidery chairs in front of them.
Because it was also the time to pay respects to his mother in the morning, even though it was a little early today, it was still complete.
However, all the young masters in the mansion had to study, so they only paid their respects and went to the academy that had been arranged for them in the front courtyard.
Before leaving, Luo Mingyan looked at his sister with worry. After receiving a look of relief, he clenched his fists and left.
He knew that his sister and his aunt were troubled only because he was a boy, so he had to study hard and earn a place in the school before he could protect his sister.
After the two boys left, only the two girls remained. The one who sat at the very front was First Madame's only daughter, Luo Mingxue.
Luo Mingxue's appearance resembled that of a First Madame, with thin and pale eyebrows, delicate eyes, and a jaded jade hairpin. She looked even thinner and thinner than before. But unlike the peace of First Madame, she had a kind of prideful aura between her brows. Her newly developed body was depicted in her silver pleated dress, making her look like a refined beauty.
At this moment, she rubbed her forehead in displeasure: "This morning, I heard the servants discussing amongst themselves. It seems like the one captured by Concubine Cui was second sister's servant girl, what is going on?"
She had always had a headache. If she couldn't sleep well, her head would ache. Seeing so many doctors who couldn't cure it, her tone was a little impulsive.
First Madame glanced at her, but the latter still had an agitated look on his face. He didn't have any intention of restraining himself in this abnormal atmosphere.
Before the Master Mistress could say anything, she had already spoken, but no one reprimanded his, because he was the direct descendant of the family, the only direct descendant.
The exalted status of the direct line of descent was especially obvious in the imperial court. The previous generations of emperors were all direct descendants. If the title was passed on, it would be the same if he was the legitimate son, but if he was a concubine, then it would be a one level lower.
However, this was set by the founding emperor. After hundreds of years, his legacy would no longer be as strong as it was in the beginning.
As long as the concubine was recorded in the official's name, even the official would not attack anything, because this was what the Imperial Family did.
Therefore, the competition between the two bastard children in the mansion was getting more intense.
Concubine Cui felt that she had a huge weakness, thus she was the first to stand up and catch Luo Mingxue's words, "Big Miss only knows one thing, and not the other. It was originally the wife at the side door of the backyard, saying that someone was sneaking out before the sun rose, and was even dressed up as a servant, thus blocking them. Who knew that this girl felt guilty, turned around and ran, but was held down by the wife, only then did she see Wang Chun, who was beside the second young lady. I was in a difficult situation because I haven't even gotten up yet and I just happened to get up early. I wanted to take her to my side first, but I didn't want to wake her up, so she stayed behind. "
After she said that, everyone's gaze landed on Luo Mingshi. She was leaning on a chair, her body was crooked, her face was as white as paper, her eyes were covered with circles under her eyes, her brows were slightly tired, she was wearing a goose yellow silk dress, and her complexion looked even worse.
Everyone was puzzled as to why she was so weak after not seeing her for just one night. They heard her half hoarse voice as she got up and said, "Since it was a misunderstanding, why did mother have to detain my servant girl?"
Before First Madame could say anything, she couldn't hold back her smile and spoke with a worried tone: "That maid might have something to say, but she excused herself to leave the house. While struggling, there was an old granny who saw a piece of paper in her arms, and it was clearly written that it was dirty, but she said that she was going out on behalf of the young miss."
With such an uproar, everyone understood what it meant. Madame Li stood up excitedly: "Impossible, Second Miss would not do such a thing."
Luo Mingshi was moved when she saw that only Third Madame spoke up for him. However, her words were caught by the Concubine Cui and she said proudly: "What are you doing, Sister Li? I didn't say what Second Miss did. "
However, she didn't see the cold glint that flashed across First Madame's eyes while she was drinking tea.
Luo Mingshi said: "Aunt said that I won't let my servant girl go, why did Concubine Cui say anything, what did I do?" Under her gaze was a monstrous hatred. However, even though the waves in the deep sea were secretly surging, the surface of the sea was still tranquil.
Concubine Cui was choked speechless for a moment. Just as she was about to retort, she was interrupted by First Madame, "Alright, you're still talking. If you can't solve the problem, then why can't you?"
Luoan'S Time sat in the seat of honor. After experiencing the Madame Li's framing yesterday, he felt that many things were not like what they appeared to be. Thus, she drank a mouthful of the ox bone marrow tea beside him.
First Madame sat beside him and said clearly, "This matter was indeed said by Concubine Cui, but I was afraid that it might have been a misunderstanding.
At this time, vaguely mentioning yesterday's matter, Concubine Cui felt a little awkward. She silently glanced at the Madam and thought to herself: "A hen that doesn't lay eggs, waiting for Lei'er to inherit Master's family business. When that time comes, you'll definitely have a good time."
However, the most important thing to do at the moment was to eliminate Luo Mingyan, the only one who had the qualifications to compete. After all, there wasn't a big difference between having a blemished sister and a blemished mother, and every time Master saw him, he would think of that sister of his.
Luo Mingshi saw a flash of coldness pass through her eyes, and laughed coldly in her heart, but her body was still swaying slightly, as though she was holding on, and said: "Father, could you send Wang Chun over, so we can exchange blows?"
Luoan'S Time turned the bracelet on his wrist and counted the numbers, then said in a deep voice: "Bring it up."
Because the sky was about to brighten, she knew she could not drag things out any longer, and waited for Wang Chun to come up, then knelt down: "Daughters are not filial, she originally wanted to stop father from worrying, but did not want to cause such a ruckus."
Luo Mingshi slowly said: "Yesterday, my daughter woke up from her dream, and my body was extremely unwell, so I sent a servant girl to secretly invite a doctor over, so as to not let father know, but was worried.
Concubine Cui's face changed, then she said: "Second Miss, it is normal for you to take pity on this servant, after all, I have accompanied you since I was young, but the paper in my bosom was seen by my wife. Those who don't know will have to bite the tongue of their mistress. After all, how can this maid read? "
This sentence woke everyone up. Although Luo Mingshi had been enlightened, but a woman was still a virtuous person. She could write a few words, and the servant girl beside her had no one to teach her.
Seeing that, Wang Chun kowtowed, "This servant does have some paper, but it is not the love letter they mentioned."
Luo Mingshi agreed, and took the paper from Wang Chun, holding it up high, Ju Xiang stepped forward and presented it to Luoan'S Time, he took a look and pressed on it, then angrily looked at Concubine Cui and said: "Go take a look."
Then, she gently whispered to Luo Mingshi: "Good child, quickly get up, you have suffered a grievance. "Tell someone to go get my card later, and ask Imperial Physician Qian to take a good look at it."
