PFC Chapter 398: The Scheming Xiao Kang
Chapter 398: The Scheming Xiao Kang
In Tinglan Courtyard, Liu couldn't sit still. Even though her broken leg had not yet healed, she still limped back and forth in the house.
After returning from the old marquis' main courtyard, she was suspicious. Was what the old woman said true? Why did Xiao Kang's bitch inexplicably go to Su Yuning's courtyard?
At that time, Su Yuning had already gone crazy. In order to prevent any accidents, he had someone keep her under guard, waiting for the right opportunity to release her to bite the people of Helinyuan. Could it be that Xiaokang went there from time to time just to release her?
Yes!
Su Yuning definitely did not run away for no reason. Someone must have let her out and led her into her son's room. Otherwise, why did Su Yuning, a mentally ill lunatic, bite her own son instead of others?
Damn Xiaokang!
Liu paused. The more she thought about it, the more she felt that things were just as she had imagined. The mad dog she had carefully trained was used by Xiaokang.
Normally, this bitch Xiaokang pretends to be stupid and dumb. I thought she was the easiest person to deal with in this marquis's mansion, but I didn't expect her to be so scheming!
This vicious bitch had long wanted to kill her own son, and she also took the opportunity to depose a concubine's daughter from their eldest wife's family.
What a cruel mind!
A strong hatred suddenly rose up, and Liu's eyes turned red. Her own Yue Jie was such an outstanding person, but he died so miserably. All the people in their second branch deserved to die and should be buried with her son.
Nanny Zhou hurried back, and when she saw Liu, she bowed and said, "Madam, I have found out that the maid who was talking in the main courtyard today is the daughter of the Marquis's family, and has been serving in the main courtyard. There is no need for her to wrongly accuse the Second Madam."
Upon hearing this, Liu felt even more that her previous guess was correct. The maids in the old marquis' courtyard had always been superior to others, so there was really no need to target Xiaokang specifically.
"I understand." Liu's voice was filled with determination and coldness. She was determined to kill Xiaokang to avenge her son.
Madam Zhou continued, "When I went to inquire, I heard another thing."
"whats the matter?"
"I heard from the people in the kitchen that the Second Master became unconscious after taking some kind of Five Stone Powder. However, the miracle doctor invited by the Fourth Miss is very capable. After the Second Master took the medicine, he became much calmer and didn't curse as much. But he likes to sit still and can sit there for several hours."
Nanny Zhou told all the news she had heard.
When Liu heard the word 'Wu Shi San', her eyes narrowed instantly. She had heard of this thing before. When she was the mistress of the Marquis' Mansion, a helpful shopkeeper once said that this thing could make a lot of money. The only bad thing about it was that the court did not allow its sale.
Liu had been tempted for a long time and wanted to use the Marquis' Mansion as an excuse to do this business, but she finally felt that the risk was too great and gave up.
But she didn't expect Su Zhiwen to take this kind of thing. No wonder the old marquis was so angry. But locking him up might be useless. She heard that it would be extremely difficult to get better after taking that thing.
"When you have time, go out and find Manager Li on Nanshui Street and ask him about the Wushisan." Liu ordered.
Nanny Zhou naturally agreed, but when she turned around, she realized that it might not be so easy for her to go out. There were too many trivial matters in the first house, and there were not enough people.
"Madam, Tinglan Court is short-handed. We need to find a way to recruit more people. Otherwise, there will be no one to do the miscellaneous work."
Nanny Zhou reminded her that she really didn't want to go and pour out the night scent, and even less did she want to wash those heavy clothes in winter. After all, the water in winter was freezing cold, especially in the mornings these few days, when ice had condensed in the water tank. How could her old bones handle the freezing cold water?
Although she was a servant in the Marquis's Mansion, she had always been a respected nanny. Before, the eldest lady was the mistress of the mansion, and she was her personal nanny. She was a very powerful person in the mansion, so there was no way she would do any heavy work.
Her hands are well-maintained and very soft, so they need to add more people to Tinglan Hospital.
"Additional money? The money of the first house has been almost completely taken away by the people in Prince Yi's mansion. How can there be spare money to buy someone from outside?"
Liu glanced at her and sat back in dissatisfaction. She shouldn't have agreed to the request of that old slave Xu Ma. After borrowing the person, she tortured him away.
Nanny Zhou rolled her eyes. She really didn't want to let herself down, so she suggested, "Madam, we need to talk to the Third Madam about this. She is the housekeeper now. How can we let the old lady be without someone to serve her?"
As soon as Liu heard this, she understood what Nanny Zhou meant. She wanted her to use Old Kang's name to go to Jiang to ask for the person!
This is a good idea. After all, if the old lady is short of people to serve her, it will be the fault of the mistress Jiang, who is not doing her job well.
"In that case, let's go to Helinyuan." Liu said immediately after making a decision.
The master and servant went to Helin Courtyard immediately.
In Helin Courtyard, Su Qingwan was accompanying her mother to look at the account books. The New Year was almost coming, and it was time to prepare the New Year gifts to be sent to various mansions.
"Third Madam, Fourth Miss, the First Madam is here and is drinking tea in the side hall." A maid came in and said.
Jiang put down the account book, wondering what Liu was doing here, but still said, "Okay, I understand."
"Mom, let me go with you!" Su Qingwan also put down her pen and said to Jiang.
Liu, who was sitting in the side hall, was so angry that her eyes turned red.
She, the eldest lady of a marquis's mansion, was led to a side hall when she arrived at Helin Courtyard. That would have been fine, but the decoration of the side hall was much better than that of Tinglan Courtyard. How could she not be jealous!
Nanny Zhou's eyes were shining with envy. The scene in Helin Courtyard was exactly what a lady of a marquis's mansion should look like!
Look at the old woman who led the way just now. She was wearing a new dress. You could tell the material of the dress was good. In the past, when the eldest lady was powerful, she never rewarded herself with such a good dress. Now, it seems that working in Helinyuan is really good.
But Nanny Zhou was just envious. She knew very well that even if she wanted to come to Helin Courtyard, the Third Madam would not want her. Moreover, if the First Madam found out about her thoughts, she would probably kill her without mercy.
So compared with her own life, she could only envy the good lives of the maids in the third room.
After waiting for a while, Jiang and Su Qingwan walked into the side hall.
Liu looked up and saw that Jiang was wearing a snow-white double-breasted shirt with a grape pattern, with a circle of white fox fur around the collar and cuffs, and a green pomegranate skirt.
Her hair was puffy and covered with pearls and jewels, she looked extremely wealthy!
Seeing Jiang like this, it is hard to remember how poor she was when she first came to the Marquis' Mansion!
In a trance, Liu felt that she and Jiang had switched positions, and a deep jealousy appeared in her eyes.
