Chapter 425 The little girl’s thoughts

"How often does the house deliver food?"

Mapo continued to ask, and Mrs. Zhao quickly answered.

"In the past, when the weather was hot, we would send it once a day. Now that the weather has cooled down, it has become once every three days."

"Then who delivered the food last time?"

"Yes, it's that girl. She just delivered the food the day before yesterday. I guess she'll be here again tomorrow at nine o'clock."

Mrs. Zhao understood what they meant and smiled to please them.

In my heart, I just hope that I will not be punished.

Although she didn't sign a deed of sale, the city lord's mansion was well-paid, and she could earn a few more taels of silver just from her purchases every month.

If she really lost this job because of her bad words, she would probably regret it in her gut.

Seeing her yellowed teeth exposed made Nanzhi feel a little nauseous.

Mapo thoughtfully moved forward to block Zhao's appearance.

Nanzhi then said in a calm voice: "If that girl comes tomorrow, I will keep her here. If I keep you, I will be dealt with lightly. If I don't, you should know the consequences."

"Yes Yes……"

Mrs. Zhao responded repeatedly, and if she wanted to kowtow again, she was afraid of staining Nanzhi's eyes, so she could only lower her head and wait for her resignation.

After the matter was said, Nanzhi no longer wanted to stay here. He just held the handkerchief to the tip of his nose and walked out of the kitchen first.

Although there is no toothpaste here, ordinary people also use salt or willow branches to rinse their mouths, or even worse, use plant ash to clean their teeth.

Although it's cold today and ordinary people don't like to take a bath or wash their hair, they still take care of themselves. In addition to the perfume, Zhao's oily hair also has a stinking smell, which is really suffocating.

In addition, her body shape was there, and she would sweat whenever she moved. The various smells were mixed together at this moment, which was really unacceptable to Nanzhi.

I originally wanted to eat some sour food, but now I have completely lost my appetite.

Mapo was unavoidably worried, so she only asked the kitchen to prepare two lighter dishes in the evening, but was blocked by Nanzhi.

It was only at noon that she was caught and scolded by her master. In the evening, Ms. Zhao naturally tried her best to cook two good dishes to please Nanzhi. However, after waiting for half an hour, she only saw the servants returning the dishes intact. Dong brought it back.

"What's going on?" Ms. Zhao's swollen eyes widened and she looked at the food in the food box with disbelief on her face.

Although she was a little bit tongue-tied, her cooking skills were good, otherwise she would not have entered the City Lord's Mansion in the first place.

These two dishes were made by her with all her efforts. Why didn't Madam move at all?

Could it be, could he still have to be punished?

Zhao's face looked very ugly, but Cheng Yue beside her was a little excited.

Usually the dishes taken away from the master are shared among the servants like them. Although it is a bit embarrassing to say it out, the master's food is always good.

Although it doesn't look obvious on the surface, the materials used are good.

Just the soup poured over the dishes took Aunt Zhao three hours to cook.

Qinglian didn't speak, just stood aside quietly. Seeing Zhao's face getting darker now, she carefully tugged on Chengyue's sleeve.

"Chengyue, stop talking..."

Cheng Yue was not so thoughtful, and was just a little curious at the moment.

"Qinglian, why are you dragging me?"

Before she could ask any more questions, Mrs. Zhao had already raised her hand and slapped her.

The crisp slap sound was particularly clear in the kitchen, and Qinglian was also frightened by this sound.

Zhao's strength was not small, and Cheng Yue was so thin that she was slapped to the ground with just this blow.

"You bitch! Do you really want me to be better?"

Cheng Yue was stunned and just looked at her with a confused expression, explaining for herself with tears in her eyes.

She just wanted to have better food at night.

"I didn't, Aunt Zhao, I didn't..."

The little girl burst into tears, but Mrs. Zhao snorted coldly.

"Don't think that I don't know what you're thinking! I've eaten more salt than you've eaten rice, so you don't have to worry about getting yourself into trouble if you play tricks with me!"

When Zhao said this, she looked at Qinglian.

These two girls are working beside her, so she knows best what they are like.

If we say that Chengyue girl is simply stupid, Qinglian is just wilting.

Chengyue girl's family is not very wealthy, and her parents just want to take advantage of opportunities, so they are willing to spend money to bring their daughter into the family.

At first, this girl still worked honestly and diligently, and even gave the monthly reward to her family.

Later, as I followed Qinglian closer, I started to have thoughts that I shouldn't have.

Thinking in her mind, Zhao's eyes became a little colder. She only glanced at Qinglian coldly, then threw away her apron and went out.

For a moment, only Cheng Yue, who was covering her face and crying, the boy who had brought the food back, and Qing Lian were left in the kitchen.

The boy signed the contract, so when he encountered this scene, he just pretended not to see it, put down the food box and left the kitchen.

Qinglian was frightened by Zhao's words just now.

"Qinglian, I'm in great pain..." Chengyue felt aggrieved. She felt that her face had become red and swollen, and even the skin in her mouth was broken. The smell of blood made her feel very uncomfortable.

After getting no response from the little sister for a long time, Cheng Yue only saw a trace of resentment flashing in Qing Lian's eyes when she raised her eyes in frustration.

The little girl was a little dumbfounded, but the next second she heard Qinglian speak eagerly.

"Chengyue, get up soon. I'll give you some medicine when you get back soon. Don't leave any marks."

As gentle and considerate as ever, the little girl was in a daze for a moment, wondering if she had just been deceived.

"good……"

Nanzhi got up early the next morning.

Different from summer, the early morning of late autumn is foggy. Even if the window is only opened a small crack, a lot of air-conditioning will take the opportunity to get into the house.

Nanzhi's hands and feet were very cold, even after taking several tonics. Mapo was worried that she would catch a cold, so she had to warm her shoes and socks every day before letting her put them on.

Even if you go out of the house, you must wear a cloak.

At this moment, there was only a white line on the horizon. Nanzhi had already woken up. Knowing that he would get up very early today, Mapo even packed a towel with warm water early and used the coat she was going to wear while Nanzhi was washing. An iron box filled with rolling charcoal provides warmth for ironing.

"Madam, your clothes are already warm."

Mapo held up her clothes and said.

Even though three months had passed, Nanzhi still didn't like it.

It's just for putting on clothes, so it's so troublesome to use them.

But Mapo has a stubborn temper. If it weren't for her strong request, she might even have to do the brushing of her teeth herself.

"Ma'am, remember not to get angry today."

Mapo told Nanzhi while dressing her.

Although women need to pay more attention during pregnancy, they must also do certain things. If they are too cautious, they may cause instability in the fetus.

But if she gets angry, she is afraid that it will be bad for the woman herself.

"I know."

Nanzhi looked a little helpless on his face, but he was also satisfied in his heart.

At least Mapo is not as cautious as other women who are in stable labor, and she can still do what she wants to do. In addition, although Mapo gives many instructions all day long, she is careful in her work and takes good care of herself.
