The Regent's Concubine is Crazy
Chapter 8: West Courtyard Conspiracy
Bai Suqing glared at Shangguan Jiaoyun and said in a harsh tone: "Shut up and talk when you get back."
Shangguan Jiaoyun looked around and saw that many servants were busy with their work and didn't pay any attention to them. She breathed a sigh of relief and stopped talking.
Although there was no mistress in the Prime Minister's Mansion and her father had only her mother for so many years, the power to manage the backyard had never been handed over to her mother and had always been in the hands of the housekeeper. No matter what methods the mother and daughter used, they could not bribe the housekeeper.
Speaking of this housekeeper, Shangguan Jiaoyun gnashed her teeth in hatred. He has always been loyal to his father and would tell his father about every little thing. Her father was an old-fashioned man and was very strict with everyone except Shangguan Ziling.
When the mother and daughter returned to the west courtyard where they lived, Shangguan Jiaoyun could not control her temper and started smashing things in the room, with porcelain shattering all over the floor with "bang bang bang".
The maids in the west courtyard were trembling with fear and minimizing their presence like quails. Although they knew that Aunt Bai and the Second Miss were not favored by the master and often lost their temper in the room, as servants they dared not say anything and served carefully, otherwise they would be the ones who would be implicated and suffer.
The maids in the west courtyard were completely subdued by the mother and daughter, so they had no scruples.
Bai Suqing also said with a gloomy face: "This bitch usually obeys my words. What happened to her today that she behaved so abnormally?"
"Ah? Mom, could she really be possessed by evil spirits? I remember she clearly stopped breathing yesterday, so they threw her into a mass grave. How could she come back intact?"
"What did you say? What did you do when you went out with her yesterday?"
Shangguan Jiaoyun was so scared that she didn't say anything when she came back. Now she had to tell her mother what happened in the restaurant.
After hearing this, Bai Suqing also felt that something was fishy, but she was more annoyed: "Look at you, why did you do this to yourself? I guess that girl is suspicious of you, that's why she treated us like this."
"Mom, I was just so angry that I picked up a vase and smashed it on her head. The more I smashed it, the more excited I became, thinking that if she died, I would be the only daughter of my father, and he would at least look me in the eye."
"Were you sure she was dead?"
Shangguan Jiaoyun nodded quickly and said very affirmatively: "Really, I was scared, so I asked Xiaotao to come forward and sniff the air."
When Xiao Tao saw Shangguan Jiaoyun looking at her, she hurried forward and nodded in agreement.
Bai Suqing's eyes were sinister and dangerous. "No matter whether she is possessed or not, haha, I will make it clear that she is possessed. Let's see how she can go hunting. Then..."
Shangguan Jiaoyun's eyes lit up and she looked at her mother. Bai Suqing nodded to her.
Bai Suqing called her trusted maid Mei Ju and whispered a few words in her ear. Mei Ju nodded and left.
…………
"Miss, I'm afraid the second miss hasn't given up yet. When the master and the eldest son come back, she might even make a fuss about going hunting," Xia Yu said.
Shangguan Ziling inherited the original owner's memory, so she naturally knew her father's old-fashioned nature. She said indifferently: "She can't make any noise in front of her father."
A little maid from Ziling Court came over hurriedly and said, "My humble servant greets the young lady. Just now I saw Aunt Bai's personal maid sneaking out of the back door, and Xiao Linzi secretly followed her."
"Oh? Stand up and speak. What's your name?"
"I am a maid in the Zilingyuan kitchen. I saw it when I went to the big kitchen to get ingredients just now. Xiao Linzi, who was helping me, followed her."
Xia Yu said from the side: "Miss, this girl is called Xiangcao, she is Nanny Zhang's niece, and she works in the kitchen."
"Very good, Xia Yu, reward."
"Yes." Xia Yu took out a tael of silver from his purse and handed it to Xiangcao.
Vanilla took it and thanked repeatedly: "Thank you for the reward, Miss."
Shangguan Ziling waved her hand, and Xiangcao quickly bowed and went to work.
Shangguan Ziling felt a little emotional. Everyone in Ziling Court was so loyal to her. This was also due to the daily discipline from her father and elder brother. Although the original owner was usually domineering, she never got angry or scolded these people. She was very generous to these servants. Therefore, Ziling Court was still relatively clean and no one had any bad intentions.
But the original owner didn't cherish her and listened to the words of those vicious women in the West Courtyard. She chased after the Crown Prince all day long and acted like a fangirl, making the Crown Prince tired of her. This was also the credit of the mother and daughter.
At this time, Mu Feng had someone carry in a box of medical books.
Mu Feng stepped forward and said: "Greetings, Miss. This is the medical book that the young master asked me to collect, and it is specially brought to you for your study."
Shangguan Ziling was very happy. She didn't expect that her elder brother actually had someone send the medical book to her. This was a good opportunity for her to take a look and see if there were any differences between the names of the ancient medicinal materials and her modern medicinal materials.
Shangguan Ziling said: "Say thank you to my brother for me."
"Okay, if you have no other instructions, I will take my leave."
"Go!"
Shangguan Ziling stood up, opened the box, took out a medical book at random, and started flipping through it. She was very fast because she had a photographic memory.
Xia Yu, who was standing by, naturally didn't know her ability, and couldn't help wondering in his heart: "Who reads books like this? Are you sure you really want to study medicine?"
Xia Yu shook his head and thought that Shangguan Ziling was only flipping through the medical books reluctantly in order not to disappoint the young master who had asked people to collect them.
Shangguan Ziling did read very carefully, and soon she finished reading the medical book in her hand. Shangguan Ziling found out that there were indeed some differences between the names of ancient medicinal herbs and some of the modern names of medicinal herbs she knew, but the difference was not big, which made Shangguan Ziling feel a little comforted.
Shangguan Ziling stood up, moved her shoulders, rubbed her eyes, and felt that the present life was particularly comfortable, which made her cherish it especially.
"Miss, you must be tired. Take a rest and have some tea."
Shangguan Jiaoyun hummed, picked up the teacup, took a sip, and put the teacup down.
Shangguan Ziling rolled up her sleeves and went forward to do warm-up exercises. After finishing everything, Ziling ran back and forth in the yard.
Xia Yu was surprised and didn't understand what her eldest daughter was doing.
Even Nanny Qin and Chunxiao, who were doing needlework in the room, came out and looked at the people running back and forth in the yard. They looked at each other with some confusion.
Chunxiao pulled Xia Yu, came forward, and whispered: "Xia Yu, what are you doing, Miss?"
Xia Yu turned around with a confused look on her face, looked at Chun Xiao and Nanny Qin who was looking at her, spread her hands, and said helplessly: "I don't know what the young lady is doing?"
Nanny Qin glared at Xia Yu and said unhappily, "How come you don't know when you're with the young lady?"
