obsequious

Lu Xu withdrew his arm from Meiqing's hand as if being stabbed by a needle, "Well, speak well, don't do anything."

Meiqing froze for a moment, forced a smile and said: "Did the concubine do something wrong?"

Suddenly, there was a bang from the next door, as if something had been smashed.

Lu Xu trembled all over, Meiqing looked at him, then looked at the next door, wondering: "What is this sound?"

"Oh, it might be one of my cousins, I'll go see what's going on."

Meiqing nodded, but she felt suspicious in her heart. After he left, she moved closer to the wall and listened carefully to the movement next door.She has been blind for more than half a year, and her hearing is much better than ordinary people.

After listening for a while, there was no sound.

She put all her eggs in one basket, and couldn't tolerate any mistakes. She was thinking about whether to go out and have a look, when she heard footsteps outside the door.

She hurried to the bed and saw Lu Xu walking in with a bruised nose and swollen face. She couldn't help being surprised, and asked, "Why do you..."

Lu Xu waved his hand and explained almost cryingly: "It's okay, my cousin drank too much and punched me by mistake."

"Really? Why didn't I hear anything?"

"I was beaten before I entered the house... an old imperial doctor died recently, and our Master Xu is anxious to find out his recent whereabouts. I have to rush back to my errands."

Meiqing's heart sank, and she said in a trembling voice: "You said...an old doctor died?" The old doctor Song only said to travel around the world, but Meiqing didn't know that he was already dead.

She was so sad in her heart that she couldn't help blurting out and asked, "How did he die?"

"This... Cough, this is not something you should care about." Lu Xu didn't know how to answer her. If he made a mistake, he might get punched, so he simply didn't answer.

Meiqing suppressed her grief and anger, and nodded slowly, but she believed in her heart that the death of the old doctor Song was related to Xu An. The old doctor Xu watched her grow up.

She clenched her fist, Xu An owed her another life.She has to get all these back bit by bit!

After settling her mind, she said to Lu Xu: "You and I just got married, are you in such a hurry to go back?"

Lu Xu hurriedly said: "It's also very good to go to Xu's mansion to do things if you want. I will tell my mother that I will take you back to the city."

Meiqing didn't expect him to agree to her so easily, she only thought that he couldn't delay the errand and couldn't bear to part with the newly married lady, so she agreed to her impulsively, fearing that he would go back on his word, she hurriedly nodded and said: "Okay, I'll clean up now tidy."

That night, Lu Xu hired a carriage and drove into the city overnight into Xu's mansion.

Meiqing said that she had scars on her face, she was afraid of scaring others, so she covered her face with a scarf.

As a guard, Lu Xu only has a rest room in the guard courtyard in the mansion.Meiqing was placed in the small room by him, but she didn't feel anything.

Lu Xu looked embarrassed.

"It's very good here." She felt that the man was very thin-skinned, maybe because she felt wronged, so she spoke comforting words.

Lu Xu blushed and said, "Don't worry, I'll ask the manager to find you a better room tomorrow."

Meiqing shook her head and said, "I'll just follow you."

Lu Xu hurriedly waved his hands: "There are rules in this mansion. It's not right for you to live with me as a girl...By the way, what kind of work do you want to do? I'll ask for you tomorrow."

Meiqing pursed her lips and smiled, "Is it up to me to decide what kind of work I want to do? No matter what, as long as I can stay in the mansion..." She was afraid that Lu Xu would be suspicious, so she added a sentence at the end, "Stay with you around."

Lu Xu choked for a moment, and hurriedly said, "It's late at night, you should rest quickly. Although my place is narrow, it's still clean."

Seeing him fleeing, Meiqing ran out, baffled, and always felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't grasp the point that made her feel like a light on her back.

On the second day, she was assigned to help in the kitchen.

The steward of the kitchen was very polite to her and didn't ask her to do any rough work. It was okay to choose vegetables and serve the dishes, but she was not asked to do any work that touched cold water.

Meiqing was just surprised, and said to the manager that she didn't have to treat her leniently just because she was Lu Xu's daughter-in-law.The steward just smiled without saying a word, how could Meiqing know that all these were Xu An's instructions!

She was arranged to live in the yard where the cook lived, in a small house by herself, and after five or six days, she never saw Lu Xu again.

She faintly felt that Lu Xu would be so indifferent to herself, probably because of her unclean background.But that's okay, she's pure by herself.

That night, she tossed and turned sleeplessly, and the scar left by the childbirth on her abdomen was aching. She lay on the bed with her eyes open, tears flowing silently to her temples.My own child has never hugged him since he was born.

So little person, did you sleep well?Are you full?Have you missed your mother?

She reached out to wipe away her tears, and suddenly heard a sound coming in from the window, which was not clear in the distance, it seemed to be... the cry of a baby.
