After his wife and daughter died tragically, the scumbag prince's hair turned white overnight
Chapter 51 The Maid with Problems
The next day, it was still dark.
There was a loud knock on Shen Muxi's door.
"My dear Miss, it's already so late, why don't you get up? Do you want to go back home?"
Shen Muxi opened her eyes dazedly, and Shen Xi reminded her, "It's Aunt Cui, someone close to Zhang."
Shen Muxi quickly got out of bed.
outside the house.
Mrs. Liang, who was in charge of taking care of Shen Muxi's daily life at the manor, was trying to persuade her helplessly, "Madam Cui, the young lady is weak, it's normal for her to get up late. It's only the beginning of the morning..."
"Why, are you blaming me for coming early now?"
Speaking of this, Madam Cui was also filled with anger. If she hadn't wanted to show off her power to the young lady, why would she have left the city before the gates closed? And would she have slept in the open for most of the night?
Now that she was here, she naturally wanted to vent all her anger. "What business do you have here, old man? Why don't you get out of here?"
Perhaps it was because Madam Cui's expression was too cruel that Mrs. Liang was really frightened and didn't dare to say anything more.
Aunt Cui sneered and turned around to knock on the door again.
The door opened on the inside.
Shen Muxi looked coldly at the old woman in front of the door who had a big black mole on the right corner of her mouth.
"I didn't know that these days, servants can actually have more power than their masters?"
Shen Muxi's stay in Shen Xi's body was not in vain.
During these three months, with Shen Xi's reminders and his own thinking, he had a general understanding of how the masters and servants got along in the official residences.
Including some ways of establishing authority that are not done openly.
Zhuangzi was left behind by Shen Xi's biological mother and is only half a day's journey from Yecheng.
Come at Si hour and you will be back home at the end of Wei hour.
It was obvious that Nanny Cui was anxious for her to hurry back to serve Shen Xi's stepmother Zhang with her meal.
In the past, Shen Xi might have endured it in order to whitewash the peace in his mansion.
But she is not Shen Xi. The original Shen Xi was also killed by them. Why should she endure it?
Seeing Shen Muxi's displeasure, Nanny Cui rolled her eyes a few times, patted her thigh, and looked at her with concern for her, "Oh, Miss, today is the big day for you to return home. In the past, no one dared to say anything when you slept late at the manor, but today we have a big event at home. If you go back late, I'm afraid it will damage the reputation of the Shen family."
Shen Muxi yawned gracefully and leaned back on the bed, "And then?"
This was the first time that Madam Cui saw the eldest lady, who always put the affairs of the Shen Mansion first, so uninterested and disregarding her dignity in the affairs of the Shen Mansion.
Although she felt something was wrong, she had to bite the bullet and continue speaking since she had been ordered by the Madam. "This is about the reputation of the Shen family..."
"face?"
Shen Muxi smiled coldly and calmly changed her leaning posture. "If Zhang wanted to save face, she should have killed that little bitch who had an affair with a thief in the middle of the night three months ago, don't you think so, Madam?"
These were the harsh words my wife said when she took people to catch a cheating couple three months ago. I didn’t expect that this little bitch still remembered them.
Aunt Cui's back teeth were about to break, but she still had a smile on her face. "Miss, you're joking. Miss, I was just having fun..."
"Yes, just for a moment of playfulness, she could easily snatch someone else's engagement, steal someone else's fiancé. Just for a moment of playfulness, she could easily drug someone and lure a man from outside to attack her own sister..."
"Miss."
Aunt Cui didn't expect Shen Muxi to completely disregard the face of the Shen family and tell the inside story. Her tone was a little more serious. "The old lady has already said that this is just a quarrel between sisters. Now that the eldest lady has recovered, please come back with this old servant."
Shen Muxi curled the corners of his mouth, "Are you using my grandmother to threaten me?"
"I don't dare, old slave."
Although Madam Cui said she didn't dare, her back was very straight and she couldn't bend it any further.
Shen Muxi didn't seem to have any intention of arguing with her.
She slowly stood up, her fingertips moving slightly.
He walked over to Aunt Cui and put his hand on her shoulder. "Alright, we're family after all. Even if we break bones, we're still connected. How could I possibly hold a grudge?"
Weird.
In the carriage.
Shen Xi, who was in a translucent spirit state, glanced at Shen Muxi who was sitting not far away, and intentionally or unintentionally raised his hand to rub Aunt Cui, whose shoulder Shen Muxi had put his hand on.
He retracted his gaze and asked, "Bone Dissolving Powder?"
Shen Muxi raised his eyebrows, a faint smile on his face.
Shen Xi was surprised, "It's only been three months, and you can already match it..."
Soon, she laughed, "But you are very talented in making poisons. Master will definitely be very happy to see you."
There is an unconcealable sense of loss in the smile.
Shen Muxi gave her a comforting look.
Shen Xi quickly suppressed his disappointment.
In order to prevent Aunt Cui from becoming suspicious, Shen Xi spoke throughout the whole process, and she maintained eye contact with Shen Xi.
In the past three months, she has not only been recuperating from her injuries.
More importantly, it was the will for revenge in her heart that forced her to grow.
After knowing that Shen Xi had been practicing medicine with the Poison Saint since she was a child, she asked Shen Xi to teach her medical and poison skills.
Even though her body had the memory, she still had to go through it herself to be considered as having participated...
She discovered that Shen Xi's medical skills were very advanced, but he could not figure out how to make poison...
On the contrary, perhaps because she was used to the techniques of making ink sticks and grinding ink pads after coming to this world, she was also very good at making poisons.
Soon, he developed the poison that Shen Xi had in mind but could not develop.
But before, she used the poison on rats caught in the granary.
This is the first time it is used on humans.
Logically, Aunt Cui's hand should fall off on its own in about three days...
Shen Muxi's eyes darkened slightly.
It was clearly Shen Rou who caused the trouble, but in the end, Shen Rou was safe and sound, eating and sleeping at home, while Shen Xi, the victim, had to be sent to the manor to "rest" overnight...
How can anything be so cheap?
She wants to get justice for Shen Xi.
She will not let anyone who harmed her and Xiaoxiao go.
The carriage moved forward towards the rising sun.
From the bumpy road, to the flat official road, and then to the blue brick and stone streets after entering the city.
When Shen Muxi returned to the gate of the Shen Mansion, the sun was already high in the sky.
Shen Muxi jumped out of the carriage holding an umbrella.
"Miss, except for the Madam and the Second Miss, no one else is allowed to hold an umbrella in the mansion." Nanny Cui reminded her and tried to snatch the umbrella from Shen Muxi's hand, but was forced back by Shen Muxi's cold gaze.
Shen Xi is different from when she was in soul form.
When her soul encountered sunlight, it felt like it was being burned by fire.
Shen Muxi didn't dare to take it lightly.
As she entered the Shen Mansion, a breeze blew by, and a little maid ran up to her happily, "Miss, you are finally back?"
Shen Muxi glanced at the round-faced and bulging-eyed maid in front of her.
He just nodded slightly without saying a word.
At that time, Shen Muxi fell into the water and had a high fever. The maid named Xueer was serving Shen Muxi.
In a daze, she seemed to see the maid turn her head with a huge swing, like a wolf looking back.
Definitely not a good person.
Shen Xi obviously saw Shen Muxi's doubts and whispered, "When I fell into the water, besides Shen Rou, she was the only one by my side. But when my spirit left my body, I found that she was gone..."
"It's enough for us to know that she has a problem."
Shen Muxi spoke softly.
