Quick Wear: The Beautiful Cannon Fodder Female Supporting Character Loses Her Memory
Chapter 89 From now on, I can only watch her from afar (36)
The servant who had been trembling with fear for several days saw this scene and knew that he could not escape what happened today.
He trembled and said, "It was my fault that I did not take good care of the ointment given to the prince."
As he said that, he knelt down in front of Madam Xiao and Xiao Lan with a plop, and cried bitterly: "But this is really none of my business!"
After crying out his injustice, the boy began to tell the whole story in a blatant manner.
It turned out that Xiao Ji had a younger sister named Xiao Mei, who was born to Duke Xiao's concubine. However, when Xiao Mei was born, the concubine died of dystocia, leaving behind only this child.
Since the concubine Xiao Liu was unable to bear children, Duke Xiao gave the child to her to raise.
Over the years, Xiao Mei has been brought up in a pampered state, so she has a somewhat spoiled temper.
A few days ago, Xiao Mei accidentally hurt her hand. She heard that her elder brother Xiao Ji had the best medicine for wounds, so she used threats and bribes to force the servant to give her the rejuvenating ointment.
As for the box that originally contained the ointment, it was replaced with inferior medicine.
As a result, Xiao Ji suffered this unexpected disaster.
After listening to what the servant said, Madam Xiao could no longer sit still. How could anyone harm her son?
Xiao Lan was also very angry. The Rejuvenating Ointment was something that could save lives at critical moments, but now it had been wasted like this. If she had known this would happen, she might as well have taken it back to her husband's house when she came last time!
The mother and daughter angrily entered Xiao Mei's yard. As soon as they pushed the door and entered her room, they heard her instructing the maid: "Apply it evenly, also on the back. This ointment is really good. It can make the skin so smooth."
After these words were spoken, Madam Xiao knew what this concubine's daughter was doing at the moment.
She walked quickly to the bedside, drew aside the curtain, and saw Xiao Mei lying naked on the bed, while her maid was smearing the last bit of ointment that could save Xiao Ji's life on her back.
"Bitch!" Madam Xiao didn't care about her manners at this time. She pulled Xiao Mei's hair and dragged her off the bed. "Who gave you the courage to steal your brother's ointment?"
Xiao Lan smelled the familiar smell of medicine in the bed curtains, and her heart felt bitter. The rejuvenating ointment that she usually valued so much was now wasted like this.
She couldn't get involved with Xiao Mei, so this maid was a good "material" for her to vent her anger.
With a stern look in her eyes, the nanny who came with Xiao Lan began to slap the maid's face.
In an instant, Xiao Mei's room was filled with screams and cries. When Xiao Liu received the news and rushed over, Xiao Mei and her maid were hugging each other and crying!
Xiao Mei was even more miserable, with her clothes half hanging on her body and a lot of her hair pulled out. She looked nothing like her usual spoiled self.
Duke Xiao was originally planning to come over, but when he heard that his daughter's clothes were in disarray, he did not enter Xiao Mei's yard.
"Sister, what are you doing? Even if Mei'er has done something wrong, you as an elder should be more tolerant. Aren't you going too far by doing it yourself?" Although she grew up with Xiao Liu, she actually has average feelings for Xiao Mei.
She was just pretending to be nice. After hearing that Madam Xiao was coming to beat someone up, she waited until the other party had vented her anger before Xiao Liu showed up.
"Do you know what your precious daughter did?" Mrs. Xiao couldn't stand Xiao Liu's nonchalant look, as if she didn't care about anything.
"I don't know! So please tell me, sister." Xiao Liu looked like she knew nothing.
Xiao Lan was afraid that his mother would get too excited and say something that was obviously reasonable would be unreasonable, so he took the initiative to stand up and tell the whole story.
"Yes! I understand. Mei'er did do something wrong." Xiao Liu first agreed with them, and then changed the subject and said, "But Lan'er! You are already a married girl, why do you come back to meddle in your mother's family's affairs!
This is not good. I know you feel bad for your brother, but Mei'er is also your sister. After this happened, you should persuade your mother to take a long-term view instead of adding fuel to the fire. Don't you think so?"
Xiao Lan didn't expect the other party to bring this up on herself. She looked at her mother, Madam Xiao, and wanted to speak up to defend herself but was afraid of being criticized for being disrespectful to her elders.
It seemed that Xiao Liu had no intention of "pursuing the victory". She did not say anything else. She just bowed to the mother and daughter and walked out of the room.
However, they soon found out each other's actions.
Because after Madam Xiao and Xiao Lan walked out of the yard, they "just happened" to meet Duke Xiao.
"It's just a box of medicine, is there any need to make a fuss?" Duke Xiao looked unhappy, "Just buy more when they run out. Can't our family even afford a box of medicine?"
"Dad, that's not an ordinary medicine!" Xiao Lan tried to explain the importance of this medicine.
But Duke Xiao didn't listen at all: "Isn't it just Xie's medicine? If it doesn't work, go and ask for more! Stop making such a fuss, it's not decent."
Then he looked at Xiao Lan with dissatisfaction and said, "Why do you, a married woman, go back to your parents' home all day long? You don't need to worry about the affairs at home. Go back!"
In just a few words, he had an idea on how to deal with the matter. Mrs. Xiao could go get the medicine, buy it herself or ask for it from the Xie family. It was up to her!
Then, he ordered Xiao Lan, who was "meddling in other people's business", to leave.
