Chapter 47 Section 12
When seeing Master Hua, Qiyun was no longer anxious.She was wearing a delicate and low-key black round hat, wearing dark red lipstick, and the cigarette in her hand smelled of mint, and her originally flat cheeks were slightly raised with rouge.The jazz music played on the jukebox in the Red Pomegranate restaurant is low and slow, and the air is still cold, only warmed by the breath of the diners.
"They can't wait any longer, they must hurry up." Qiyun stared blankly at the cigarette between her fingers, in fact every puff made her irritable, but she couldn't stop no matter what.
"Qin Yazhe's affairs have been settled and everything is ready. Are you afraid that you won't be able to pay the job?" Master Hua sneered.
"You know that it's only good for a while, I have to find that box, or—"
"Otherwise you have to be beaten back to your original shape?"
She raised her head and straightened the carefully combed hair on the back of her head, and said in a trembling voice: "This is not a question of whether to fight back to the original shape, it is related to too many things."
"In my opinion, the most important thing is to let Bi Xiaoqing go back, otherwise you will have to be hit at both ends like this, and you will be crushed to pieces sooner or later." Master Hua slowly stirred the coffee in the cup, and put A thin layer of fat was smashed to pieces on the surface.
Qiyun instantly felt like falling into an ice cave.
The next day, another rattan box appeared in front of the Qin mansion. It was exactly the same size and shape as the box containing Xing Zhigang, so the people below did not dare to open it hastily.When they opened it, everyone tried their best to resist the urge to cover their noses, because they had already tasted the taste of being choked by the stench of corpses last time.
Fortunately, this time, what was contained in the box was not the dead ballroom owner, but Bi Xiaoqing who was in a coma.The fifth aunt of the Qin family appeared like fish on a chopping board, wearing only a short jacket with too rich embroidery patterns, and every thread could not find the end, which was strangely tough in its chic.Her whole body was limp, as if her body had been hollowed out, and only her heavy breathing was left. Except for the swollen right hand with a broken finger that was still wrapped in gauze, she was almost healthy and intact.
The newly hired housekeeper has a little knowledge of medical skills. After trying his breath, he quickly lifted the fifth wife out of the box, made a rough inspection, raised his head and said to the master: "Thank God, I just passed out after being given some sweat medicine. Just take a break."
Qin Yazhe looked at Bi Xiaoqing who was in a coma, without saying a word.
Three days later, Du Chunxiao appeared in the Qin mansion, only saying that he came to ask for money.
"That's weird, you didn't find the person, so why should you take the money?"
"It's just because we have fought our lives for Master Qin!" Du Chunxiao said confidently, "Master Qin probably forgot who found Xing Zhigang's whereabouts through Xu Zai's line, and who used a borrowed knife to kill people. Did Xing Zhigang die?"
"Murder with a borrowed knife?" Qin Yazhe immediately became agitated, "Miss Du thinks it's because of her bad memory, I want you to redeem people, but in the end, you paid gold bars and lost your soldiers. I let the Cantonese man go through his line. After finding Xing Zhigang, who knows what kind of madness he has gone into to kill his boss? Now that Xiaoqing can come back, how can it be your credit? I shouldn’t even pay this money because of emotion and reason.”
This round of ridicule not only did not make Du Chunxiao retreat, but became more calm.She picked up a piece of crab cake on the plate and stuffed it into her mouth, chewed it for a while, and then said: "I don't have a good memory, but Mr. Qin has a bad brain! Don't even think about it, Mrs. Fifth can come back safely, isn't it?" Xing Zhigang's good deeds, if we hadn't been around, do you think the person you want to find would have appeared at the gate for no reason?"
Qin Yazhe stared at Du Chunxiao with a pair of big copper bell-like eyes, and the burning flames in the two eyes seemed to burn people through.Du Chunxiao also looked back at him like this. Although her heart was beating like a drum, she knew that in the game of "mystery", the magic stick must never lose to anyone.
"Hahahaha..." Qin Yazhe laughed wildly, "Miss Du is so brave! I will give you the money!"
"After a while, I will ask you more than money."
Du Chunxiao thought about this in his heart, so he also laughed out loud.
Although Bi Xiaoqing was missing a finger, his expression did not reveal the slightest bit of pain.When dressing up in front of the mirror, she was quick and meticulous, and she didn't look like someone who was injured at all. When drawing her eyebrows, her gauze-wrapped hands were still raised high and low, and she could see that she was a little impatient, but the rhythm was very appropriate.The aunt wanted to come up to help, but she refused. She just said: "Let's go, how can I teach others to do this job? Why don't you help me eat and go to the toilet?" Although there was some resentment on her face, no matter who came When asked what happened during the days when she was kidnapped, she always shook her head, saying "I don't remember".Only Qin Yazhe vaguely felt that it wasn't that she didn't remember, but that she was afraid that once these things were revealed, no one would accept it.From innocence to dignity, nothing can be honest. Even under semi-house arrest, Bi Xiaoqing would occasionally find time to go out of the mansion to buy some clothes. Before being sent to Hangzhou, the other concubines sneaked into her house for some reason and took away her wonderful few. I didn't have an outfit, so I had to cut some clothes again.Qin Yazhe actually opened his eyes and closed his eyes, and let her go out, and the two showed no signs of wanting to have sex again, and even wanted to invite their former aunt Zhu Huijuan back, but the other party refused desperately.So she had to call Sister Yue back from the kitchen. She was a little reluctant, but after working for a few days, she found that the fifth wife who was said to be pampered was not as unruly as she imagined, so she didn't feel any grievances.What's more, the monthly money has also been added. Over there, Xia Bing also asks for some news from her from time to time and gives her some extra money. In Sister Yue's eyes, the fifth wife who escaped after the catastrophe was indeed acting suspiciously.For example, she only eats in her own room, and eats very little, but she does not miss three meals, and occasionally eats mung bean cakes and other snacks at night to satisfy her hunger.That's all right, I have to retch into the spittoon in the morning for several days, and I seem to have a small appetite. The way of eating more than one meal a day adds up to a lot, so I figured it out and guessed that the fifth wife was afraid I'm pregnant! Of course, Master Qin couldn't let Master Qin know about this matter, especially after calculating it, the fifth wife has been away from home for three and a half months, but her slender body doesn't seem to have been pregnant for such a long time, so it is even more unreasonable.But I can't say it, I can't say it, I still have to say it, so Sister Yue asked the new housekeeper to gossip.The new housekeeper surnamed Li Mingzhi is different from Hua Nongying's concubine, he is young but very stable, seeing Sister Yue stammering and probing there, he smiled and said: "I checked the fifth wife before, I don't know if she is pregnant or not. But one thing is for sure, if anyone dares to touch Fifth Madam's finger, or chew his tongue once, the master will definitely treat that person—click!" He made a scissors-like gesture with two fingers on the protruding tongue. From then on, Sister Yue realized that Li Zhi and the other servants were not on the same side at all. Qin Yazhe also had a discerning eye this time and found a great person.However, Sister Yue didn't really learn about the viciousness and city government of this housekeeper Li until later. As time passed, Bi Xiaoqing gradually began to show feelings, and wondered that the clothes she bought later were two sizes too large. At first, Sister Yue was a little puzzled, but now that she knew about her, she had no choice but to go along with it.I know it well, but at the same time I am entangled in all kinds of things. Whether to tell it or not has become a difficult task. If I don’t tell it, I am afraid that I will be "sit down" when the Dongchuang incident happens.Of course, Bi Xiaoqing was also afraid of being suspicious, so she would peel off the blood-stained trousers every month and ask Sister Yue to wash them, but at the same time, there were always cut skin wounds on her fingers. The suffering is unimaginable to a man.You Qi had abdominal pain in the middle of the night, unable to cry out, just gritted his teeth and endured it, a little suppressed moan came out of his throat. Sister Yue, who was sleeping in the outer room, actually heard it very clearly, but she had to pretend to be asleep, not daring to come in to expose the layer of paper. On the day of the winter solstice, Li Zhi ordered the kitchen to serve glutinous rice balls to Mr. Qin and Mrs. Fifth. As usual, the couple ate their own.But Bi Xiaoqing put it down after only one mouthful, thinking that the sesame filling was too sweet and greasy, so he wanted to change the meat filling.After a while, Li Zhi asked Sister Yue to go to the kitchen to bring out the salty glutinous rice balls. She brought them out in a jerk, and when she put them in front of Mrs. Fifth, she saw that all six glutinous rice balls were missing from the sweet bowl, so she blurted out: "Where's the bowl?" "I threw it all away and fed it to the dogs. It's disgusting to see!" Bi Xiaoqing said, covering her lips. Sister Yue knew that she had eaten all of them, so she didn't dare to do anything, so she put down the salty glutinous rice balls and went out. Unexpectedly, in the middle of the night, Bi Xiaoqing woke up three nights in a row, each time staying longer than the last time.Later, she couldn't bear it anymore and called out "Sister Yue", and Sister Yue had no choice but to put on her clothes and get up to help the fifth wife who was sitting on the toilet and couldn't stand up. "Should I ask the doctor to take a look?" "Are you farting? But you have a stomachache, and you still want to mobilize people like this?" Bi Xiaoqing's complexion was pale, beads of sweat crawled down her cheeks, dripping down her neck, her hands tightly covering her stomach, her eyes filled with tears . "Then... what should we do then?" Sister Yue was so anxious that her legs were trembling. Bi Xiaoqing frowned tightly, unable to speak a word anymore.Sister Yue held her breath and lifted her pants. Thankfully, there was no blood, so she helped her to the bed without worry.As soon as she touched the bed, she curled up like a shrimp. "Wait a minute, Mrs. Fifth, I'll call for help!" Before Bi Xiaoqing could utter the word "no", she had already run outside. Sister Yue knocked on Li Zhi's bedroom, and it opened after only two knocks. Li Zhi stood there neatly dressed, and immediately asked what happened.Before she stammered and explained the matter clearly, others had already stepped out before her, so she had to follow behind to explain, but the more she explained, the more chaotic she became.When the two of them reached the door of Bi Xiaoqing's house, he turned around and just said "wait outside" before going in. Sister Yue stood stiffly outside the door for two full hours. During these two hours, her thinking has become much clearer, and she has already noticed that Li Zhi is abnormal.His shoes, gown, and the medicine box at hand, everything seemed to be prepared for Mrs. Fifth tonight! When Li Zhi came out, his clothes seemed to have changed, turning into an awkward ocher color. "How is Mrs. Fifth?" Sister Yue asked anxiously. "The salty glutinous rice balls during the day were eaten bad, maybe the meat is not good. I gave her some acupuncture and moxibustion to clean her stomach." "Clean... is it clean?" She immediately felt hairs on her back, as if there were hundreds of ghostly hands sticking there. "That's right." Li Zhi's eyes were cold, and there was a slight smile, which was laced with cruelty, "It's completely clean, and there is no future--Gu-zhi-worry." "Li... Butler Li, the fifth wife is still young—" "When you are young, you have to be more careful. You must not eat things indiscriminately. Otherwise, you will eat sweet and salty like today. It will be strange if you don't have diarrhea. There is nothing wrong with the fifth wife afterward. It is only a hardship for our servants. If Mr. Qin blames it Come down, who can afford it? Is it you? Is it me? Or the second wife who is said to be recuperating in Hangzhou, but died of dystocia and hemorrhage?" "Second wife died of bleeding? Why didn't—" "You didn't do the funeral, did you? The lives of Master Qin's people are in Master Qin's hands, and he can only do the funeral if he wants to. In other words, he let the second wife live, and the second wife can live. He wants her to die, or die." If you don’t want to hold a funeral, you can make it. Therefore, as a servant, you have to let go of things beyond your power, but one thing is for sure, if you want to protect yourself, you have to protect your master. This has been the rule in the court since ancient times. Here It's the same. Therefore, it is the duty of a servant to clean up all the unsightly things on the master." "Stop talking so you're obedient!" Sister Yue was already stunned with anger, "You must have checked the unconscious fifth wife that day, and you knew she was pregnant. But the family scandal must not be publicized, and you must tell Master Qin about it yourself. You will also suffer, that's why you are here today to deal with this cruel hand, are you still human?" "It doesn't matter if you are human or not, the important thing is to be alive. When you work in this kind of place, can you still treat yourself as a human being?" Li Zhi's words blocked all sister Yue's anger and pity.She stood there for a long time without daring to enter the room, and finally saw that Li Zhi's strangely colored brown gown was actually the original one worn backwards, and it was the color of the lining.As for what it will look like, she has long since dared not think about it.
Although Bi Xiaoqing was missing a finger, his expression did not reveal the slightest bit of pain.When dressing up in front of the mirror, she was quick and meticulous, and she didn't look like someone who was injured at all. When drawing her eyebrows, her gauze-wrapped hands were still raised high and low, and she could see that she was a little impatient, but the rhythm was very appropriate.The aunt wanted to come up to help, but she refused.
