504, heartbroken
Yuzhu couldn't help but speak out. Seeing that it was already late, she served Xu Shumu's feet to rest.
The candle in the main room was lighted until the second half of the night. Before it was dawn the next morning, Jin Ling personally picked up Gongzhu and tiptoed out of the door. His figure flashed and disappeared at the door.
Xu Shu, who had not been sleeping all night, sighed silently as she listened to the footsteps in the yard. If she had not let Zheng Wanfeng's wet nurse go, if she had treated the woman early, Mrs. Zheng Si would not have suffered this disaster.
The guilt made Xu Shu toss and turn, unable to sleep all night. Mrs. Zheng Si treated her as her own. Even for the sake of the queen's order, the real good was not fake. Faced with such purposeless good, she could not repay her, and she could not even reveal her sincerity.
Out of instinctive caution, she reserved everything around her. She was used to keeping her thoughts in her heart instead of resorting to her mouth. What's more, she now has too many secrets, which makes her breathless. There are often moments when she longs to tell her, but reason keeps her silent. Her words will cause millions of people to be implicated. She cannot trust anyone easily, and some people are destined to be disappointed.
After dawn, Xu Shu finally got up, cleaned up and went to Mrs. Zheng Si’s house. There was a faint smell of blood floating in the room. Even the strong Yuejianxiang was invisible. Xu Shu took a box of incense for Jinling, "Yuejianxiang is too impetuous and not suitable for use at this time. This fragrance is good for energy and calm the spirit. Use this in the future!"
Jin Ling took it and immediately took the incense burner out to exchange it. Xu Shu entered the inner room. Mrs. Zheng Si had just finished drinking the medicine and was sitting on the bed in a daze. She tied her forehead on her forehead and her face was pale and swollen. Seeing Xu Shu, she forced a smile, but she looked extremely weak, "Xiao Jiu is here!"
Xu Shu nodded, "Is mother okay?"
"Okay!" Mrs. Zheng Si nodded. Although her tone was plain, she could not hide her bitterness. When she was at her age, she suffered such a thing. It was rare to be able to save her life by chance. This body was probably difficult to go back to the past. Xu Shu couldn't see her, so she didn't have to worry about pretending to be a worry-free expression, so that Xu Shu would not be sad when she saw it.
"Mom, have a good rest, I'm here for everything!" Xu Shu held Mrs. Zheng Si's hand, her voice a little awkward, as if she couldn't suppress her emotions and was about to surge out.
"I know! I don't have to worry about doing things!" Mrs. Zheng Si wanted to hold Xu Shu's hand back, but she finally let go of it in vain because of her powerlessness. All the strength in her body seemed to have dried up with the surging blood last night, leaving behind such a useless body.
Looking at the uncontrollable hand, Mrs. Zheng Si couldn't help but laugh at herself, "I told you to make a joke! When I brought you back from the palace, I thought I would take good care of you in the future. Now just a few days have passed and you have taken care of me! Even a few days ago, I couldn't make you feel comfortable. Someone caused trouble for you from time to time. Now I think about it very much, I feel that I can't stand it for you!"
"It's like a rebirth of my mother's grace. How could I say that I can't bear it? Besides, because of my reason, it's suitable for my mother and her tenth sister and daughter, I feel very guilty!" Xu Shu, who returned to the capital, was like a duckweed leaf, floating without roots, but she was still carrying a lot of debts. At this time, the warmth of a little bit can make her remember for the rest of her life.
Mrs. Zheng Si shook her head, "It's me who implicated you! I took you back and had selfish intentions. I knew that Feng Jie'er had a bad temper and wanted to take this opportunity to polish her temperament, but I didn't expect that she was deliberately used by someone to make trouble. It was because I thought so simple at the beginning! My second sister-in-law always regarded me as a thorn in her eyes, so how could anyone not take the opportunity to make trouble? I ignored this point, which made you targeted by my second sister-in-law!"
Mrs. Zheng Si showed regret on her face. If she hadn't been careless, she wouldn't have... Mrs. Zheng Si touched her belly, and the regret on her face became deeper, and even the hatred became obvious. Even though Zheng Wanfeng was not intentional, even if she had loved Zheng Wanfeng for so many years, even if she had been in her heart before, she actually loved Zheng Wanfeng more, but she could not change her hatred for Zheng Wanfeng at the moment.
Xu Shu touched her sleeve and didn't say it. A hairpin could not explain anything at all. Instead, it would ruin the relationship between Mrs. Zheng Si and Mrs. Zheng San. However, thinking about the lessons of Mrs. Zheng Wanfeng's wet nurse, Xu Shu felt that she should tell her about this.
"What's wrong with you?" Mrs. Zheng Si couldn't help asking when she saw Xu Shu speechless for a long time.
Xu Shu finally took out the hairpin, "Last night, I ordered Jin Zhi and Biyun to put the tweetress of Ten Sisters's wet nurse to the eldest aunt for stealing the master's finances. The eldest aunt asked someone to search the wet nurse's house and found many items that were not her own. Biyun recognized the hairpin and quietly brought it back."
Mrs. Zheng Si glanced at the hairpin. It was very ordinary. She couldn't recognize who it was, so she asked, "Whose is this?"
"It's Mom Tan's!"
"Mom Tan? Do you mean someone else who instigates Feng Jie'er?" Mrs. Zheng Si paused her hand with a hairpin. Mom Tan made her subconsciously think of Mrs. Zheng San, and even directly forgot that Xu Shu had already taken the initiative to deal with Zheng Wanfeng's wet nurse. It can be seen how much impact this matter has on her.
Xu Shu shook her head, "I can't be sure who did it this time! But the wet nurse has served the Ten Sisters for a long time, and I think she has received many benefits. Jin Zhi said that she had put two boxes of things in it. It is definitely not given by one person, and more than one person bought the Wet nurse! The wet nurse took the benefits of others and deliberately brought the Ten Sisters to the point that she could develop her current temperament!"
Mrs. Zheng Si nodded in agreement, "I saw that Feng Jie'er became more and more unruly as she became, so I suspected her. But I couldn't come up with evidence, so I used her reason to drink alcohol to alienate her from Feng Jie'er. I was afraid that Feng Jie'er would be unhappy. She occasionally went to Lanxin Pavilion once or twice, so I turned a blind eye to her. I didn't expect that she had not given up after leaving Lanxin Pavilion! Such a slave with two hearts, I had thought of leaving her decent before!" Mrs. Zheng Si felt a little annoyed, and deeply hated that she had failed to observe. When she realized that her experience today was because of the cause and effect she had planted, she felt even more heartbroken.
"The wet nurse has been beaten and driven out. No one has done anything bad. If you teach me well, the tenth sister will change her temperament!"
Mrs. Zheng Si smiled coldly, "It's nothing if you don't change. You'll have to go to bed. If you marry someone, someone will come to teach her, so I don't have to bother!"
