13. Injustice
Aunt Shuang talked nonchalantly to Rong Qiaoyan about things she needed to pay attention to when she went to pay her respects the next day.
It's nothing more than thanking the eldest lady for her concern, thanking the eldest lady for sending someone to visit, etc.
Rong Qiaoyan felt a little bored, so she said she wanted to rest and asked Aunt Shuang to go back first.
Aunt Shuang hesitated and returned to her yard. Rong Qiaoyan leaned on the pillow of the beauty's couch, in a daze.
She also thought about getting closer to Aunt Frost.
It was okay before, Aunt Shuang took good care of her.
However, today, after Suchun left, Aunt Shuang started nagging herself to serve the eldest lady properly.
So, in Aunt Shuang's eyes, is her daughter Rong Qiaoyan still less important than the eldest lady?
No, it's not.
Rong Qiaoyan categorically rejected it herself.
Sister-in-law Six once said that when you are not sure about some things, don't look at them with your eyes, but look at them with your heart.
And she saw that Aunt Shuang's behavior during this period was that she loved her daughter very much.
There must be other reasons, could it be...
Rong Qiaoyan began to think deeply.
Grandma Yang, who spent an extra copper from the big kitchen to make pigeon soup for Rong Qiaoyan, saw Miaozhi's worried face when she returned to the yard with the food box.
"What's wrong?" Nanny Yang put down the food box and asked Miaozhi strangely.
Miaozhi told the story about how the eldest lady sent someone to trick Rong Qiaoyan into paying her respects.
"This is really..." Grandma Yang looked very angry and was about to speak.
As a result, he was interrupted by Rong Qiaoyan.
Rong Qiaoyan winked at Miaozhi, and Miaozhi quickly ran to the door to check.
"When the old slave came in, he had seen it all. Bai Liu had fled somewhere. Shi'er and Mo'er were playing with stones at the entrance of the courtyard. Bai Mei had just been arranged by the old slave to go to the back garden to fold some fresh flowers for the young lady to relieve her boredom.
The two rough ladies were borrowed by Lianyui from the eldest lady’s yard to carry things. There is no one else in this yard.”
Grandma Yang explained quickly.
However, after finishing speaking, she wiped her face.
Where is the lady’s home?
Everything he said was so careful.
Rong Qiaoyan smiled coquettishly.
Yes, Grandma Yang is always careful.
That is, when she was just injured, she heard Miaozhi say that Grandma Yang was so angry that she wanted to eat people.
If Aunt Shuang hadn't come over later and had the sense to suppress Nanny Yang, she would probably be dead now.
"It's true. It's not that I don't feel sorry for my own children. I don't believe it. If the eldest lady and the seventh lady were so seriously injured, would the eldest lady let them go to pay their respects after only raising them for more than a month?"
Grandma Yang said while wiping her tears.
Although the external injuries on Rong Qiaoyan's body have basically healed except for the scars left behind.
However, after all, he was injured and his body is still very weak. He should be recuperating for a few months, right?
Where can I be asked to pay my respects after just over a month has passed?
There are so many young ladies and gentlemen, but only one young lady is missing to say hello?
"It's okay, wet nurse. I just went to pay respects to the elders. I don't need to do any heavy work."
Rong Qiaoyan comforted her without paying much attention.
It is already July 19th, and it would be nice to be able to walk around in front of the elders.
At least, she won't encounter too many obstacles when she goes out.
It's better to let her make some preparations now.
She had been lying in bed recuperating from her injuries. However, she wanted to see her sixth sister-in-law so much.
Therefore, when she felt that she had recovered from her trauma and wanted to go out to meet her sixth sister-in-law, she was warned against it by everyone.
Now, all we can do is wait for the next opportunity.
Otherwise, there is really no way to explain why he wants to leave the house despite being injured.
"That being said, I haven't healed my injury yet. Miss, I'm really pitiful. I'll go to the kitchen tomorrow and make a pot of chicken soup to make up for you. I can only rely on these things to make up for it.
I don’t even have any serious supplements. It’s really unkind.”
After saying this in secret, Nanny Yang became depressed again.
Rong Qiaoyan was so injured that the young lady just grabbed the medicinal materials according to the doctor's prescription and asked them to brew the medicine in the tea room.
None of those expensive supplements were given to Rong Qiaoyan.
Rong Qiaoyan looked at the disappointed Nanny Yang and didn't know how to comfort her.
Perhaps she had experienced these things in her previous life, so she didn't take them seriously.
However, Aunt Yang had never experienced her previous life as Rong Qiaoyan, and she only felt that Rong Qiaoyan had been hurt and treated harshly.
I usually treat him harshly, but this time I was hurt.
When Rong Qiaoyan was silent, Miaozhi, who was walking around in the yard at the door, came in.
When she entered the door, she heard what Nanny Yang said and saw Rong Qiaoyan's silent look, so she couldn't help but sigh.
"Mommy, I know that you love and care for Miss. But with you like this, doesn't Miss want to comfort you?"
Miaozhi softly persuaded Nanny Yang.
After hearing this, Grandma Yang raised her head and looked at the silent Rong Qiaoyan, then she suddenly realized and her face was full of shame.
She murmured as if she didn't know what to say, but after a long time she bowed and saluted, "I made a mistake, I will go down and reflect for a while."
After finishing speaking, she hurriedly bowed and retreated.
Rong Qiaoyan and Miaozhi looked at Nanny Yang who was leaving in a hurry, and didn't know what to say for a moment.
"Miss, don't pay attention to what grandma said, and don't be angry with her. She didn't mean to make her unhappy. Mommy doesn't complain so much in the past."
The room was quiet for a long time, and Miaozhi cautiously opened her mouth to comfort Rong Qiaoyan.
Grandma Yang was usually cautious, but now because she felt sorry for Rong Qiaoyan, she wanted to complain about Rong Qiaoyan--even though there was no fairness in this backyard.
.
"How could I be angry with the wet nurse? I know that the wet nurse cares about me and is doing it for my own good. It's just..."
Rong Qiaoyan smiled bitterly.
How could she, who had lived two lifetimes, not know what the backyard of Rong Mansion was like?
Even if she wanted to resist, it would be completely useless. She would even attract the attention of the eldest lady, making her life even more difficult in the future.
You know, this concubine's food, clothing, housing, transportation, and future marriage matters are all in the hands of the mistress.
Even if Rong Qiaoyan is reborn now, she is still just a little concubine who is not favored in the backyard of Rong Mansion.
She had no one she could trust to tell her about what she had experienced and known in her previous life, and no one she could trust could dare to tell her.
After all, if you are not careful, you will be regarded as a monster and burned directly.
