Chapter 602: Taking Advantage of the Situation, Two Carriages
"Now down the mountain..." The mother-in-law said and sighed again. She had something to say, but for a moment she didn't know where to start, so she only raised her head a little.
But this kind of unwillingness to give up is the most annoying thing. Qing'er is just a rough maid who is not very sensible. She can't restrain herself. She immediately pays attention to her master with a face full of anxiety: "Mommy, What's going on at the foot of the mountain? Is it related to our lady? What's going on, tell me!"
"I... can't talk nonsense about this!" The mother-in-law shook her head and said helplessly. After speaking, she closed her mouth tightly, as if Qing'er kept her mouth shut no matter how much she asked.
It made Qing'er scratch her head and scratch her head in discomfort. She begged and said that she was tight-lipped. She also made it clear again and again that she was just listening and really wouldn't talk nonsense.
After finally speaking, the mother-in-law was moved. After looking around and seeing no one around, she took Qing'er and hid behind a tree. She lowered her voice and said, "Everyone outside said Miss Er... Miss Wu was ungrateful. They said they went to the mountain to observe mourning for three years." , it is clear that after stepping on the high branches, she ignored the old lady who raised the fifth young lady."
"How is it possible? Our lady went up the mountain to keep filial piety for the prince and the princess!" Qing'er was furious.
"I also know this is the case, but people outside don't say that. Do you know why our old lady got sick all of a sudden?" the old lady clicked her tongue.
"Why?" Qing'er wanted to find out more and more clearly.
"It was during the banquet that the ladies and old ladies from other houses said that the fifth young lady was ungrateful. They said that the old lady had raised the fifth young lady like a white wolf. They said that even if the old lady was sick, the fifth young lady would I won’t go down the mountain to take another look at her. I came to invite the fifth lady this time, saying that the old lady is sick, but in fact many ladies in the house are watching. If the fifth lady is not careful, I’m afraid..."
The mother-in-law sighed, and then pulled Qing'er out: "Forget it, these are the private affairs of the fifth lady. Even if the old lady is ridiculed by all the ladies in the future, it has nothing to do with us being slaves. The fifth lady is now Xingguo Even if the young lady from the public house has a bad reputation, she can still be married off in the future!"
"Hey, what are you talking about? What do you think our lady can still marry even if she has a bad reputation!" Qing'er was not happy and stood still, dragging her mother-in-law away.
"Okay, okay, it's my fault, but this matter really has nothing to do with me. I'm just a slave passing on a message, let's go, let's go. I've also seen the fifth lady. If the fifth lady doesn't want to go down the mountain, just forget it. Zuo However, those ladies and ladies who associate with the old lady should not be as dignified as the Duke of Xingguo, so let them speak if they have anything to say!"
The mother-in-law looked like she didn't want to cause trouble, and pulled Qing'er hard to go out.
Qing'er didn't leave. Not only did she not leave, she turned around and pulled her mother-in-law back. "Let's go and see the Fifth Miss. We should explain clearly to the Fifth Miss that their status is not as noble as that of the Duke of Xingguo, no matter what." We can’t let them gossip about our lady!”
Qing'er said angrily.
"Miss Qing'er, don't be so concerned. We are just slaves. What else can we do? The master always has the final say. Didn't Fifth Young Lady just say that she would invite the old lady to the mountain tomorrow? We should leave now. Come on, don't cause trouble!" The mother-in-law didn't want to leave, but she was not as strong as Qing'er, so she was pulled back hard and screamed anxiously.
"You didn't say before that many ladies and old ladies mocked the old lady of General Qin's mansion. The young lady respects Old Madam Qin the most and will not let Old Madam Qin be talked about!" Qing'er looked angry, thinking that she was In safeguarding the reputation of his young lady and Mrs. Qin, he did something that satisfied the young lady.
"I... I'm afraid of causing trouble. I'll do whatever the madam tells me. Anyway, these things have nothing to do with us being servants. Why do you have to be so serious..." The mother-in-law looked like she didn't want to go back. , he kept trying to persuade Qing'er, but his feet were still pulled back by Qing'er.
The two people came back tugging at each other, and Yu Jie happened to be in the corridor. Seeing them tugging back, she walked over with a surprised look on her face.
"Sister Yujie, keep an eye on her. I have something important to report to Miss Fifth!" Qing'er had an angry look on her face, her face flushed with exhaustion and her neck thickened. She came all the way, even though this woman was quite cooperative, she still couldn't I was so tired that I breathed heavily.
"Okay, then go in, Qu Le is inside, let her know!" Yu Jie looked at the mother-in-law and nodded.
Qing'er wiped the hot sweat off his head and hurried to the quiet room.
In the quiet room, Qu Le heard the noise outside and walked out, seeing Qing'er standing still.
"Sister Qule, I have something important to report to Miss Fifth!" Qing'er said anxiously.
Qu Le looked at her flushed face from exhaustion and went in to report. After a while, he let Qing'er in. Qing'er's voice came from inside. She was very angry and her voice was a bit loud. She was talking about what she had just heard from her mother-in-law. The mother-in-law stretched her ears in the yard to hear what she heard.
But then, even if she stretched her ears, she couldn't hear Shao Wanru's voice clearly. Yujie was standing next to her. Even if she wanted to, she couldn't walk over, so she could only stand in the yard with a dry smile.
Qing'er didn't go in for a long time. After a while, she came out angrily and said to her mother-in-law: "Don't leave now. Just follow us down the mountain. Our lady will go down the mountain immediately to see Mrs. Qin. How can we Let those who underestimate Mrs. Qin talk nonsense, but we cannot let them ruin the reputation of the lady!"
"Miss Fifth, are you going to go down the mountain to see the old lady?" the old lady said in shock.
"Yes, go now!" Qing'er said proudly.
"But now... it's a bit late. The fifth lady should stay in the Qin Mansion when she comes down the mountain. It's been a long time since the old lady saw the fifth lady." The mother-in-law said happily.
"This...Miss will arrange it!" Qing'er couldn't answer for a moment, so she just said vaguely.
"No, I have to tell the old lady, make the old lady happy, and prepare a yard for the fifth lady. After so many years, the old lady has not dared to go up the mountain to invite the fifth lady even if she misses the fifth lady!" The old lady said He wiped away his tears in excitement, then turned around and ran out.
I couldn't catch up even if I wanted to!
Neither Yujie nor Qing'er chased her in the yard. After the two stood calmly for a while, Qing'er said, "I'll go outside and prepare a carriage for the lady!"
"Okay!" Yujie nodded knowingly and turned back to the quiet room.
In the quiet room, Qu Le had washed up Shao Wanru and put on her clothes again. It was not the silk clothes she had been wearing in Yuhui Nunnery, nor her own clothes, but a set of Qu Le's clothes.
Qu Le is a maid, but because she is a maid of the Xingguo Duke's Mansion, in order to show how much the Xingguo Mansion respects Shao Wanru, in the past years when the servants in the mansion were making clothes, they would also send people to sew them for Yu Jie and Qu Le. New clothes, but the materials are used by ordinary servants.
The outfit that Shao Wanru is wearing is something that Qule has never worn before. Shao Wanru is wearing the same size now.
Her hair was combed into a very simple double bun, pinned with only a hairpin. Looking at her like this, everyone would think she was just a maid from a certain house.
"Let's go!" Shao Wanru stood up and pulled the hem of his clothes.
"Miss, if you really go down the mountain like this, you will be in danger at this time!" Yu Jie looked at the sky outside the window uneasily. The sun was setting on the west mountain. Although it is easy to go down the mountain at this time, it will get dark soon. On the way It may not be safe. If there are pilgrims who want to go back to Yuhui Nunnery, most of them have already gone back by this time.
"It doesn't matter, just go down and have a look, but you won't take our carriage!" Shao Wanru said with a slight smile. He spent so much effort to trick himself down the mountain. It seems that the plan is not small!
Being able to take advantage of the people in the Qin Mansion, it seems that Qin Yuru has taken action again! He didn't take her life three years ago for the sake of Mrs. Qin and Qin Huaiyong. Now is he feeling uneasy again?
Shao Yanru's clever tricks actually provoked Qin Yuru to take action, so she wanted Shao Yanru to see what the meaning of this snake bite that penetrated three points to the bone was!
Qin Yuru is also a violent and poisonous snake, and cannot be controlled by anyone who wants to.
"Yujie, go and tell Master Mingqiu and ask her to borrow the carriage she used to go down the mountain with!" Shao Wanru ordered.
Master Mingqiu would go down the mountain to treat Chu Liuchen from time to time. Yuhui Nunnery provided her with a carriage. Although it was not big, it was very light and easy to use.
"Yes, slave, let's go now!" Yu Jie nodded, but stopped after taking a few steps: "Miss, the carriage driver is missing!"
In the past, when Master Mingqiu came down the mountain, the nuns from Yuhui Nunnery who knew how to drive the carriage would drive him, but now it was inconvenient to use the nuns from Yuhui Nunnery to help drive the carriage.
"It's okay, Qing'er knows how to drive, and she didn't let her drive our car this time. She was asked to drive our car, and my grandma's coachman drove Yu Hui'an's car!"
Shao Wanru arranged it calmly.
Qing'er is naturally not an ordinary maid who works hard. She had asked her just now and knew that she could drive a carriage. The carriage driver given by her grandmother was also someone she could trust. It was because the Duke of Xingguo couldn't trust her that her grandmother made the trick. Drive that coachman away!
Yujie felt relieved after hearing that her young lady had made all the arrangements, and turned around to borrow the carriage from Mrs. Mingqiu.
Shao Wanru took Qu Le and tidied up a little, and then walked outside Yuhui Temple. When they reached the parking place, Yujie had already borrowed the carriage and was waiting aside early.
Qing'er sat on the light shaft of her own carriage, while the carriage driver of Princess Ruian sat on the shaft of the carriage borrowed from Mrs. Mingqiu.
Shao Wanru asked Qu Le to go back and left her here to watch. He only took Yujie with him to get into Master Mingqiu's ordinary carriage. Qing'er drove an empty carriage in front and started walking slowly.
The two carriages drove away from the side entrance of Yuhui Temple one after another, and then went around the mountain road down the mountain. The mother-in-law of Qin Mansion had long since disappeared...
