Chapter 174: Lonely Star (4)
Chapter 174 The Lone Star of the Fiend (4)
No matter how you analyze it, you feel that everything is a coincidence.
To be cautious, Ning Yue asked Dongmei to take the bead flowers that Ma Jinyan gave to Qiuxiang to the pharmacy for inspection. The doctor said after looking at them that he didn't smell any poisonous smell, so he soaked them in water and tested the water with silver needles, and there was no abnormality. .
Is it true that I have too many thoughts?
No matter what, Ning Yue can't agree with Qiuxiang's actions. She doesn't need a maid who is full of compassion. She needs a slave like Dongmei who can sell everything in order to please her master.
Ning Yue rewarded Dongmei with fifty taels of silver, and the fifty taels of silver bought out the sisterhood between the two of them. Ning Yue felt that she still made money. Afterwards, Ning Yue dragged Qiuxiang out to beat her ten boards, deducted three months' monthly money, and reduced her to a sweeping maid. This is not only punishing Qiuxiang, but also deterring Dongmei. Don't be loyal to whoever offers the highest price. Since you are on Ma Ningyue's boat, you can't covet other people's sails! The price of betraying her is definitely not something a little girl can afford.
Dongmei went to see Qiuxiang who was beaten to death. In fact, when she was beaten to the seventh blow, Qiuxiang would die. Dongmei gave the executioner a tael of silver, and the mother-in-law released the third blow. water.
Qiuxiang lay on the bed, weeping, ignoring Dongmei.
Dongmei said embarrassingly: "I didn't expect Miss San to be so ruthless. I thought she valued you so much, and it was over after a few curses..."
Qiuxiang buried her head in the quilt, choked up and said, "I misjudged you...you go out...I don't have a sister like you..."
She also blamed herself, how did she get into this? Obviously she is a serious young lady, Dongmei is just a maid of their family, in the end, she became a sweeper, but Dongmei flew to a high branch...
Dongmei put the Jinchuang medicine beside her pillow: "You remember to apply the medicine, I will go to work first, the money...you don't have to pay it back."
Qiuxiang threw the two silver ingots on the ground: "From now on, old age and death will never see each other!"
…
Another three days later, Ning Xi's illness still hadn't improved, and the rumors outside became more and more intense, and everyone knew that Ning Xi had become dumb.
The palace sent someone over, and it was the Qin family who came back and hired him. The Qin family is the nurse of King Zhongshan. It is said that the old concubine and the old prince are in the military camp all year round. King Zhongshan was brought up by the nurse, and the relationship with the nurse is better than that of the biological mother and child. As soon as the Qin family went outside, she would definitely be able to say a few words on behalf of King Zhongshan.
The old lady welcomed Qin Shi into the flower hall and asked Baozhu to serve tea. Qin Shi took a sip lightly and said calmly: "I heard that Mrs. Yong He is not in good health, so I specially brought the imperial physician here to show her. Anyway, she is the biological mother of the future concubine, so we can't neglect her."
The old lady was about to speak, when Qin said again: "Huh? Why don't you see the second girl?"
This is clearly aimed at Ning Xi! The old lady was furious, but the Ma family was at fault for this matter, so they couldn't hide it from her. In the end, the Qin family asked the imperial doctor to show it to Ning Xi.
The results of the examination were unsatisfactory. The imperial doctor prescribed some medicine and said to take it for a few days to see if there is no improvement, I am afraid that I will not be able to speak for the rest of my life.
Qin's complexion became very ugly, put down the teacup, and said to the old lady: "Old lady, it's not that I don't respect you, it's just that the Xuan family has an ancestor's precept that you should not marry a disabled person or a mentally ill person. Man! I'll give you a month, if you still can't cure it, you can only withdraw the marriage to redeem our palace!"
Another three days later, the twenty-fourth of the first lunar month, Ning Xi took the imperial physician's medicine and showed no sign of improvement.
The old lady was in a hurry, and she went everywhere to ask for medicine, but nothing worked.
The girl who gave Lin Yonghe the injection said: "I have encountered a case of this kind of situation before. It was in our village. A little girl, seventeen or eighteen years old, suddenly became aphasia after a high fever. She visited famous doctors but was not cured. , It wasn't until the old man gave him a trick that he gradually got better."
