Chapter 7 Candidates
Madam Li cooked hot eggs for Jingfu and rolled them on her face, which could promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis. She could not keep swollen Lao Gao, and was worried that she would be disfigured.
"Mum, it's okay, it's just a few days of swelling, it won't affect anything."
Jingfu blinked at Madam Li, not daring to touch the muscles on her face. It hurts so much.
The two were talking and the maid's call came from outside. Jingfu and Madam Li looked at each other, got up and went to the outer room to take a look.
"Is the eldest lady in the house? I am a peony, I'm here to invite the eldest lady."
The eldest maid Mudan is the most favored girl in the old lady's house. She is sweet-mouthed and meticulous, and can take care of everything from all over the world. She handles the old lady's explanations properly and thoroughly, and is deeply trusted by the old lady.
"It's Sister Mudan, do you know what the old lady has to give? Our lady was slapped in the face by Mama Ma just now and was having a hot compress."
"But it's still serious? I was not here just now, so I went to explain to the old lady's instructions, but I didn't see it. After hearing this, Ma Ma was too much. She has always been domineering and always hit us with her hands. You know that I was beaten by Ma Ma as well."
Peony's eyes widened in surprise at first, then sighed deeply, and exposed her scar to win recognition.
Jingfu walked out in a daze, "Hello Sister Mudan, why are you busy?"
With a sarcastic look in his eyes, Peony is a smart person.
Peony smiled slightly and saluted respectfully, "I'll say goodbye to the young lady. I heard that Ma Ma bullied you. I happened to have an errand and came over to take a look. Oh my god! This is too awesome. Just apply it quickly. Don't eat hair products and avoid mouthing."
A series of reminders, with sincere concern in their eyes, but a hint of pity and sympathy.
"Thank you sister, is there anything that grandma has to do with me? My father has finished working in front. Is the new wife unable to wait to use the main house?"
Jingfu snorted, looking a little stubborn and willful.
"Hey, it was the old lady who asked you for something to say, and she also asked Ma Ma what happened. The doctor said that the beating was a bit too ruthless, and it seemed that she was deliberately beaten. The old lady was a little angry."
Peony also left a thread for Jingfu, and we as servants don’t have any eyes for each other, so it’s better to keep some mercy.
"Thank you, Sister Mudan, for coming to invite me. My sister is eighteen this year. My mother said that she wrote your name when she was released last year. Unfortunately, my grandmother rejected it. My mother had no choice."
Jingfu sighed and said something irrelevant to the wind and horse.
It's time for Mudan to get married, but it's delayed any more. It's said that she is a maid in the old lady's house, and she is very handsome. She lets her go out to be a good citizen and gives her a dowry. This kind of manner and demeanor can be worthy of a daughter in a small family.
After hearing this, Mudan raised her eyebrows in surprise and was stunned for a moment. Crystal tears slowly accumulated in her eyes. She forced herself to let them fall down. She pressed the corners of her eyes with a veil and took a deep breath to come back to her senses.
"Madam is a good person."
A faint sigh.
"A good person doesn't live long."
Jingfu raised her head and looked at the blue sky and white clouds above her head, her voice was low and deep.
"The girl should take care of herself and take good care of herself for the sake of her wife. The room is full of human sperm. If it is not good, it will be pinched to the point of being caught. But what happened?"
She looked at the lady who was much shorter than her, but she was calm and generous, with a firm and slightly cold look, but her momentum was enough to make her respect her.
"My wife, the new lady is coming in soon. She is the girl from my grandmother's house. She already has a daughter one year younger than me, and she has a belly... I heard that she is stable.
What will you do in the future, Peony? You are good-looking and thoughtful, but do you know what your wife hates the most?"
Jingfu tilted her head and looked at the corner of Peony's eyes and smiled.
Mudan tightened the handkerchief in her hand, and became a little nervous involuntarily. She felt a little embarrassed to be stared at. She lowered her head slightly and looked down like she was looking down.
"It's right to be a maid Zhou Quan. It only makes the master like to trust it, but it depends on who the master is. The lady will not like the beautiful maid Zhou Quan, smart, so what else can you do if you want the lady to do?"
Jingfu chuckled, tugging the corners of her mouth hurt a little, and unconsciously covered the cold compressed veil on her face.
Mudan raised her head suddenly, with a look of shock in her eyes, and then she found that she had leaked her emotions and quickly lowered her head and said nothing.
"Oh! What a pity, Ruhua's age is just like this. You are obviously qualified to be the wife of your wife. It is easy to add icing on the cake, but it is difficult to help in time, so you must not miss the opportunity."
Jingfu put down the handkerchief and handed it to Ai Ye, "Dingxiang, come with me."
"yes."
"Miss, I will help you."
Peony woke up in shock and quickly stepped forward and walked out with a step forward, holding Jingfu in a manner and respectful manner.
"Miss...I..." Mudan was walking on the road to the garden. It was noon and there was no one in the yard.
The flowers and plants in the garden are not expensive, but Jingfu's yard is full of precious flowers, which were supported by his wife back then.
The blue bricks under his feet were also broken, there were some mottled marks on the wall, and even the red paint on the corridor fell off. No wonder he wanted to rob his wife's dowry. The Du family is indeed not as rich as the Yang family.
"I may be going to the Yang family. My grandmother has always loved me and will definitely not be able to bear to leave me. If there was a caring maid in front of me, my grandmother might be relieved."
Jingfu's eyes looked at the road ahead with a slightly cool look.
Peony tilted her head and frowned slightly, as if she was a little confused, but she raised her eyes and lit up, as if she had found a new direction, looking at her as if she had found redemption, with earnestness and desire in her eyes.
Jingfu looked at her outside, "In return, I will find a way to get your contract to sell you back, but this is not easy. It may take some time. I need you to stare at the Du family for me. I think my grandmother must also need you to take good care of me."
"I can try to persuade me... but it may not be successful. I may need to find a suitable opportunity."
"I think the opportunity is very suitable now. The grasshopper in my hand is about to fly, and anyone will be unhappy."
Jingfu narrowed her eyes slightly. It seems that only Peony is the most suitable for the dark lines on both sides.
"Can I really get the contract of my servant's body sale back?"
This is what Peony is most worried about and is most unwilling to accept it.
"You can try to believe me once, because you have no other way. Do you really think my father is your last way out? What happened to my mother who is beautiful and has a family?"
Jingfu murmured in her ears, her deep eyes were cold, like the other side of the shore blooming on the road to the underworld, beautiful but fatal danger, tempting passers-by to stop and watch, and get deeply trapped in it.
Peony swallowed, bit her lips and turned slightly white, her eyebrows lowered, and her slender eyelashes trembled gently like a feather fan, revealing her inner uneasiness.
"I promise you, I will say it."
Mudan blurted out when she was about to see the gate of the main hall. There were fine beads of sweat on her forehead, but she smiled with relief.
