005 The Bull's Knife Trial (1)

But she had no impression of this. Maybe her mother was indeed there, but she was shocked by her father's arms and tears, and she didn't notice that there were other people there. Or maybe, it was just because some strange things that were not originally happened in the dream.

She did not turn her head to see Xie. In this dream at the end of her life, she did not want to see Ning Shenzhi, nor did she want to see Xie. Even Qiu Zhengshen, she did not open her eyes to see him just now.

Her life has just passed for twenty-eight years, but she feels like she has crossed the vast world, experienced the vast universe, and exhausted all her strength and feelings.

The person she kept in her heart was almost dead, and there was only Qiu Zhengshen. Without her, he would only live better, so it doesn't matter if he couldn't let go.

Most of the people she hates have already received the retribution she deserves, and only one Xie is left. Although she hates her, she is the mother who gave birth to her and raised her, and she has never done anything to hurt her. She doesn't want to do anything to her.

It would be best if she and her were just blind to each other and had nothing to do with each other as they have been for so many years.

Now, she just wants to walk the last time quietly alone.

After Xie finished speaking, he walked slowly to the bed in the green yarn cabinet on the east side and sat down. He took out a book from his sleeve, read it in the candlelight, and did not speak anymore.

Qiu Xiyin's wet nurse and mother touched Qiu Xiyin's forehead. The heat dropped, leaving only layers of cold sweat. She touched Qiu Xiyin's back again, and it was soaked.

She wanted to ask Xie to find someone to get some hot water to wipe Qiu Xiyin's body. She looked at Xie's appearance of focusing on reading. Her lips moved several times but she couldn't make a sound.

She is a typical Jiangnan woman with her mother. She is not tall and has a fat appearance after giving birth to three children in succession. She stands with Qiu Xiyin. She is no more than the eight-year-old Qiu Xi, but twice as wide as her. Her fair skin looks dull and rough due to years of work.

She followed Qiu Xiyin from Gusu for more than a month before finally arrived in the capital. The temperament of the capital and the masters of the Qiu Mansion made her panic, especially the mistress of the Qiu Mansion, Xie, the chief mistress of the Qiu Mansion.

She had never seen such a beautiful wife, nor had she seen such a grand wife. She couldn't tell what the momentum was lingering around her, and she could only instinctively fear her, and did not even dare to show off her vigor in front of her.

Qiu Xiyin became ill the day after arriving in the capital. She vomited and had diarrhea and had low fever. Today, she suddenly had a high fever during the day and started to sway, and then fainted. The fourth girl came over and said that she had not taken good care of Qiu Xiyin, so she became more and more frightened.

A girl wearing fashionable clothes like this will definitely get sick. She can't just sit and watch it with uselessness, and she can't even ask for some hot water.

I moved my mother and was about to clear my throat. I pleaded with Xie. A maid with a decent and generous look came over with a tray. It was Dongxue, the eldest maid next to Mrs. Qiu.

Dongxue approached and placed the tray on the table on the head of the bed. She and her mother were sobbed and hurriedly approached and begged in a low voice, "The girl's clothes are wet, so please help me get some hot water."

Dongxue glanced at her unhappy, "Miss Three is sweating in her clothes. Why did you say so until now? The girl has just woken up, don't catch a cold again."

My mother had to keep saying a word. Dongxue looked at her again, but she didn't say anything more, and went out again.

He and his mother carefully pulled up a pillow and leaned against the head of the bed, let go of Qiu Xiyin, and let her lean on it. After this whole set of movement, Qiu Xiyin kept turning his head and looking out the window without moving.

My mother and I didn't pay attention, so we picked up the bowl and kept scooping the rock sugar and tremium porridge in the bowl, while blowing the air to let it cool down as soon as possible.

Xie, who was reading a book, glanced at her, then lowered her head to continue reading.

Her eyes were very fast and light, and somehow, she noticed it with her mother and was so scared that she paused.

After a while, seeing that Xie did not react further, she continued her previous movements tremblingly. Her hands were shaking slightly unconsciously, and the porridge in the bowl slowly spread layer by layer, but the movement became lighter.

"oops!"

My mother was so scared that she suddenly jumped in her heart, but her hands almost instinctively protected the porridge bowl. The porridge in the bowl didn't spill out at all.

"Does the third girl want your saliva when you blow like this?"

However, Dongxue walked over with a tray again, and as she walked, the strong smell of medicine spread out on the slightly cool spring night.

I responded with my mother, and the voice almost squeezed out of my throat. She was so old that she was so bluntly scolded by a teenage girl to ask her master to eat her saliva. Even though she was soft and soft, she felt extremely embarrassed, and her old face was red with a dry face.

Qiu Xiyin remembered this sentence. She was so ill that she was confused at the beginning. In fact, she didn't hear what Dongxue was saying specifically. However, after she completely gained a foothold in Qiu's house, she had repeated this sentence with her mother countless times, and talked to her countless times about how she was taught a lesson by a little girl when she first arrived, her face was lost.

From Suzhou to the capital, she was not willing to follow her, but her grandmother sent all the maids and mothers she used to, but as soon as she arrived in the capital, all the people were sent away by her grandmother, Old Lady Qiu.

Later, she fell seriously ill. Old Mrs. Qiu dismissed her two remaining personal maids in the name of poor service. Because Qiu Zhengshen said that she was afraid that she would not get used to leaving the wet nurse, she stayed with her mother.

Grandma did not like the wet nurse that Xie arranged for her. As soon as she was still in her infancy, Grandma changed her to her mother. Grandma's grandma stayed in Gusu, and she was left with her mother.

When she first came to the capital with her mother, she suffered a lot of grievances and insults, so why didn’t she?

Later, with a little trick, Qiu Zhengshen took action to punish Dongxue heavily. Dongxue, who was a slave but had a lofty heart and wanted to ride on his master's head, finally completely disappeared in front of her.

Later, after her mother was forcibly sent away by Ning Shenzhi, she recalled this sentence countless times. When she recalled Dongxue who said this, she only regretted that she did not take any harm at that time and did not completely humiliate her mother in her life.

At this time, in her dream, she clearly heard Dongxue's original words, but she no longer had the strength to hate. At the end of her life, the grudges could not leave any trace in her heart. She no longer cared about her and her mother, just as she didn't even want to see Qiu Zhengshen again.

Dongxue took the bowl from her mother's hand, looked at her disgustedly, squeezed her away, and sat by herself at Qiu Xiyin's bed, "Girl, this is what the master ordered to stew early in the morning. It has been boiled all day long, and it has been stewed thoroughly. It is most suitable for girls to eat it at this time. Come on, open your mouth and slow down."

Qiu Xiyin ignored her, and she spoke again. Her voice was soft, but she exuded a condescending lesson. "Miss Three, it's not okay to not eat when she is sick. The girl is already a big girl, so she can't be willful. She teaches the master and the wife to worry about her. The girl had such a serious illness just now, but she taught the master and the wife to be worried. Now she has to learn to be more sensible..."

Dongxue was preaching endlessly, accusing her of being "ignorant" in her words. Qiu Xiyin remembered that Dongxue had never preached this way at that time.

At that time, she was as nervous as her mother, and she didn't dare to leave any more, and didn't dare to say more. Dongxue asked her to eat something, which saved her this preaching.

She didn't want to pay attention to her, but Dongxue was too noisy and disturbed the peace of her last time.

"go out".
