Shi Qingxue did not argue with Xia Mang, but went back to the house and wrote a letter to Xia Mang, "Send the letter to Prince Rui's Mansion immediately, and be sure to hand it to Mo Junyang personally."
After thinking about it, I was worried that it was not safe, so I added: "Well, Qu Yuebai or Wei Zichao are also fine. Anyway, let Mo Junyang give me a reply as soon as possible."
Xia Mang was already used to it when Shi Qingxue called Mo Junyang by his first name. He just said worriedly: "Madam said you are not allowed to find Prince Mo. You..."
Shi Qingxue raised an eyebrow, "Xia Xiaomang, do you listen to me or my mother?"
Xia Xiaomang, who was several years older than Shi Qingxue, stopped talking and resignedly sent the letter to Prince Rui's Mansion.
As a result, after asking, I found out that Prince Rui had just left home and was not sure when he would come back. Instead, it was Qu Yuebai who met the maid of the Shi family.
Qu Yuebai glanced at Xia Mang and asked, "Did your master ask you to come?"
Xia Mangxin said: Isn't that right? Otherwise, why would a servant like me come to your prince
She handed over the letter in a polite manner: "Liu Niang, please reply as soon as possible after reading the letter."
Qu Yuebai took the letter, rubbed it with his fingers for a while, then took out another letter from his arms and gave it to Xia Mang, "Give this to your master."
Xia Mang glared: They said they would reply as soon as possible, but they weren't that fast! It's like it's been set beforehand.
Qu Yuebai guessed Xia Mang's thoughts and smiled humbly, "Prince Mo has guessed that your master will definitely come here, but he has not been in Kyoto recently, so he can only reply by letter and ask me Tell your master: Don’t be anxious, he will take care of everything!”
He really knows things like a god!
Xia Mang sighed in his heart and had a new understanding of Prince Mo, who had frequently appeared in his master's house recently. He quickly responded: "I know, I will go back and tell Liu Niang."
However, before Xia Mang's letter was sent back to Luotong Pavilion, it was intercepted by Dong Hui and Aunt Zheng at the door. From the looks of it, it was clear that Xia Mang had already known that Xia Mang had gone to Prince Rui's Mansion to deliver the letter.
I didn't stop him earlier just to wait for a 'response'.
Dong Hui held the letter in her hand and didn't read it. She just asked, "Prince Mo is not here?"
Xia Mang's heart skipped a beat, and she secretly thought that her guess was accurate, but she couldn't betray her master, so she could only bow her head, bow her head, and bow her head again.
Dong Huipi looked at her with a smile, and snorted: "What? Qingxue is stubborn with me, do you also want to try the treatment of a young lady?"
This beating made Xia Mang's heart feel bitter, and he responded in a low voice: "I don't dare. I didn't see Prince Mo during this trip, and I only brought back this letter."
Dong Hui was then satisfied and gave Aunt Zheng a wink, who immediately brought a pot of fire over.
Dong Hui threw all the unopened letters into the brazier in front of Xia Mang.
"Madam..." Xia Mang thought about it, but was glared at by Dong Hui. He could only lower his head and watch the tongue of fire swallow the letter cleanly.
"From today on, Xia Mang will be demoted to the second-class maid. He will go to the flower room now and will not return to Luotong Pavilion." Dong Hui ordered coldly, not even giving Xia Mang a chance to go in and report the news, and directly drove him away. .
Aunt Zheng looked at Xia Mang's gloomy back, a little unbearable, and carefully tried to comfort her: "Madam, it's not like you don't know that Liu Niang is close to Xia Mang. You sent her away without even saying hello. If Liu Niang gets involved with Xia Mang because of this, If you are estranged, we will not be able to reconcile."
Dong Hui looked gloomy and said helplessly: "How come I don't know this truth? But now there are so many pairs of eyes watching, waiting to find Qingxue's fault. Even if Qingxue hates me, I can't just watch her being raped." Rumors ruined it.”
Aunt Zheng looked around to make sure there was no one around, and then whispered: "You don't have to worry too much, Liu Niang is protected by the iron book of alchemy, and no one dares to do anything?"
Dong Hui sneered, "If it were before, my mother was so important to Qingxue, I would still believe that she would be safe and sound even if she rebelled. But lately, don't you understand my mother's attitude towards Qingxue?"
"this… "
"You don't have to hesitate, I have already seen through it!" Dong Hui said with hatred in his eyes, "What's the point of my mother? Qingxue, she clearly knows that the family from the third room has surrendered to His Highness the Fourth Highness, and her mother wants to Qingxue and the Fourth Highness antagonized each other and drew the master to him, which was why she felt sorry for Qingxue. But in recent days, Qingxue has become more and more distant from the Fourth Highness, and instead got closer to the prince. Mother will not change. Are you embarrassed?"
Aunt Zheng hurriedly tugged on Dong Hui's lapel to stop her from continuing, "My madam! You can't say these words. It's better to let them rot in your stomach than to say them out to give people an excuse!"
"Okay, I know!" Dong Hui breathed out tiredly, restrained her resentment, and said calmly: "I have looked away now. I just hope that my little family can be safe and happy for a lifetime. That's enough. , as for the other things, it’s okay if you don’t want to!”
Aunt Zheng: "Yes, Liu Niang will definitely understand your good intentions."
"I hope so."
Dong Hui sighed heavily, "Forget it, I'd better talk to Qingxue again so that she won't think about it again."
As a result, when Dong Hui told Shi Qingxue about this, the latter immediately became furious.
"Mom, how could you burn my letter!" Shi Qingxue simply didn't know what to say. She finally got in touch with Mo Junyang, but her mother cut off their contact without saying a word. Is there anything left to play
Qingxue took several deep breaths before she calmed down the depression in her heart and asked, "What about Xia Mang? Where is she?"
Dong Hui said coldly: "Xia Mang disobeyed, so I demoted her to a second-class maid. If you feel that there are not enough maids around you, you can choose another one from the second-class maids."
Shi Qingxue quit and said shamelessly: "I don't want it. Xia Mang has been with me for many years, and I'm used to her taking care of me. I don't want anyone else! Mother, you love me so much, and you definitely don't want to see your daughter not eating well." Can’t you sleep well?”
Dong Hui really hardened her heart, "Needless to say, if you think second-class maids are not good, mother will let Fen'er take care of you. In short, before your father comes back, you can stay at Luotong Pavilion with peace of mind, anywhere. Don’t go!”
Even the people who were watching were released, which basically cut off all Shi Qingxue's escape routes.
Shi Qingxue was anxious and grabbed Dong Hui and said hurriedly: "Mom, I am really not looking for Mo Junyang just for fun. You must believe me. If there is anyone else who can make Daddy escape from Qingluo Mountain, If you retreat, it’s just him!”
Her original intention of saying this was to make Dong Hui realize the seriousness of the problem, but unexpectedly, Dong Hui didn't believe her words at all: "He's just a bandit suppresser. It's not as serious as you said. Don't do it just to see Prince Mo." And if you make up such a lie to deceive me, I won’t believe it!”
Qingxue was speechless. In a moment of panic, she blurted out: "That's because someone is causing trouble this time and wants to harm daddy!"
Dong Hui's expression changed, "What nonsense are you talking about?"
"I'm not talking nonsense. If that's not the case, why should I rush to see Mo Junyang? I just want to find out who is causing the obstruction. Only by eliminating this hidden danger can we ensure that dad can face the enemy with peace of mind!"
Shi Qingxue was very upset, complaining that she was not doing her job properly these days. If the hidden dangers had been eliminated early, there would be no need to be in a dilemma at this time.
"Is what you said true?" Dong Hui was shocked, but Shi Qingxue's vows made her disbelieve him.
"Yes! So mother, please let me out and let me find Mo Junyang!" Shi Qingxue begged.
Dong Hui was silent for a moment, then suddenly said: "Why are you looking for him?"
"I just said, only he can..." Shi Qingxue didn't believe anyone else. If Dong Hui hadn't trapped her, she wouldn't even have said this speculation.
"Then why couldn't it be him?"
Shi Qingxue was stunned when asked, not knowing why.
Dong Hui sneered, "You said someone wants to harm your father, why can't this person be Prince Mo?"
Qingxue said firmly: "It's impossible."
She never even considered this possibility.
"Really? Qingxue, you don't even trust your own family, but you trust an outsider?" Dong Hui's eyes were glaring, as if he wanted to see through her.
"That's because..." The Shi family was in danger, and even Luotong Pavilion didn't know how many spies there were.
Qingxue was speechless for a moment, not knowing how to explain to Dong Hui.
Dong Hui made a decision at this time: "Qingxue, if you are worried about the master's mood, I can understand. I can immediately write a letter to remind the master, but even if you tell the truth today, I will not let you go. You went out to see Prince Mo, you shouldn't have anything to do with him, just stay here in Luotong Pavilion until your father comes back!"
After that, he gave instructions to Aunt Zheng: "During this period, all the servants of Luotong Pavilion are not allowed to approach Miss Six alone. Fen'er is personally responsible for the expenses of Miss Six's food and clothing, and you will supervise from the side!"
Shi Qingxue didn't expect that Dong Hui would be so unreasonable, and said angrily: "Mom, do you really want to wait until dad suffers and then regret it?"
Dong Hui paused as she left, but still left without looking back.
After the door was closed, Nanny Zheng said, "If you need anything, Liu Niang, just tell me and I can handle it for you."
But the subtext is that Shi Qingxue is not allowed to leave.
Shi Qingxue was so angry that she couldn't say anything. She strode back to the bed and hit the soft pillow hard. She didn't feel any pain, but she was full of anger and had no place to vent. If she was given a bow and arrow at this time, she could hit the person on the other side. The wall was shot through!
"What should I do now!"
If she lets it go, the tragedy of her previous life will definitely happen again, which she cannot tolerate in any case!
She was angry at Dong Hui for being pedantic, but at the same time she felt that she had no ability and there was nothing she could do!
She was still angry until the maid Fen'er brought dinner in. "I'm not hungry, take it out."
Fen'er knelt down directly on the ground, "Madam said, when will Liu Niang have her meal, when will this servant get up?"
Shi Qingxue: "..."
Hitting the snake seven inches away, Dong Hui pinpointed Shi Qingxue's weaknesses with incomparable precision.
"Okay, I can eat it!" No matter how angry she was, she couldn't take it out on an innocent maid, so she picked up the bowl resignedly.
After taking two bites of rice, she paused and suddenly looked at Fen'er. The latter was lowering his head to serve the dishes, and there was nothing unusual about it.
She controlled her expression to be calm, put down the bowls and chopsticks, and said calmly: "I don't need anyone to wait on me while I'm eating. You go out first."
Fen'er obediently stepped back and closed the door.
