Chapter 125: Right arm

In the afternoon Ren Yaoqi had just taken a nap, and Mother Zhou personally came to the West Chamber where Ren Yaoqi lived.
"Miss Eight is indeed taking medicine during this period. It is said that Mrs. Fifth feels that Miss Eight is a little puffy. When she returned to her natal house last time, she asked for a prescription for Miss Eight to eat. Miss Eight has already taken it. It's been a while. It's just that Miss Eighth's face is poor, and Mrs. Fifth is afraid of her embarrassment, so she won't let the voices below."
Among the several sisters of the Ren family, Ren Yaoyu is the roundest and the shortest. This makes Wanshi's fifth wife who likes to compare very dissatisfied, even if Ren Yaoyu is a few years older, she will look like this.
Although it is said that the elders like to choose more handsome daughter-in-law for their children and grandchildren, so they are good for life. But the fifth wife Lin sneered at this standard, because she knew that the elders liked the mates might not like them. So even though Ren Yaoyu is still young, she has already started to think about Ren Yaoyu's figure.
Ren Yaoqi raised her eyebrows when she heard it. She remembered that in her last life, the Lin family secretly found something for Ren Yaoyu, saying that eating it would make a woman slim. Ren Yaoyu seemed to be really thin afterwards. A lot. It's just that Ren Yaoqi knows that this kind of medicine is often cold, and taking more is actually useless for women.
Now that Ren Yaoyu was taking medicine, Ren Yaoqi didn't think it was any strange. Since the prescription came from the Lin family, and I didn't see any problems with Ren Yaoyu in the last life, it must have been tampered with while boiling the medicine and added something that shouldn't be added.
"Did you find the dregs of medicine?" Ren Yaoqi asked groaningly.
Mother Zhou shook her head with regret: "Miss Eighth was punished to the ancestral hall yesterday, and no medicine was used today. The medicine dregs from yesterday have been dumped and cannot be retrieved."
Ren Yaoqi originally had the attitude of just giving it a try. Hearing Madam Zhou said that although it was regrettable that there was no evidence, it was not too disappointing.
Seeing that Mother Zhou seemed to blame herself for not completing the task, Ren Yaoqi was about to say a few words to comfort her, but there was a sudden movement outside.
"Who is out?" Seeing Ren Yaoqi frowning, Mother Zhou hurried forward to pick the curtain without saying anything.
Ren Yaoqi had just gotten up for a nap before, and seeing that Mother Zhou had arrived, he sent her in directly. At this moment, the two were talking alone in the second room on the right.
Ren Yaoqi was sitting on the kang by the window, her eyes drooping not knowing what she was thinking, and she did not follow Mother Zhou to find out who it was.
"It's you?" Mother Zhou's voice was a little surprised and seemed to be relieved, then turned her head to look at Xiang Ren Yaoyu: "Miss, it's..."
Before Mother Zhou could finish speaking, the person outside had already appeared by the curtain, holding a red lacquered tea tray in her hand, standing with her head bowed, and looking very respectful and calm, but the hands on the edge of the tea tray It is a bit tight.
Mother Zhou stayed when she saw her come in. , Ren Yaoqi was still sitting on the kang, without moving or speaking, but the pair of crystal clear eyes fixedly looked at the incoming person.
Ren Yaoqi's eyes are very beautiful. If they smile, they will bend into a crescent moon, soft and beautiful, and feel harmless. At this time, Ren Yaoqi did not smile, nor did he sink his face, just faintly, like a very ordinary look.
The atmosphere in the room instantly suffocated.
"Mother Xu?" Ren Yaoqi smiled and called out softly.
Madam Xu lowered her head and put the tea tray in her hand on Kang's table silently. Then she knelt down in front of Ren Yaoqi and said, "Slaves are damned."
"Damn it?" Ren Yaoqi looked at the person who was kneeling in front of him respectfully, and smiled a little jokingly: "Our Ren family is not such an unreasonable person, right? Just let people die? Xu Mother, are you frightening me?"
Unexpectedly, Madam Xu Ren Yaoqi, who has always been gentle and talkative, would suddenly catch her such a usual sentence, and she couldn't help being slightly stunned. The phrase "Slaves deserve to die" is actually used by the servants when they ask the master for forgiveness when they do something wrong. No one really wants to die, otherwise they should say "Master forgive me."
Although Madam Xu was a little uneasy in her heart, she quickly calmed down: "The maidservant is here to deliver the almond dew, the maidservant did not intend..."
Ren Yaoqi looked at her and listened patiently to her explanation, but did not let her get up. Madam Xu seemed to feel that she was justified in what she said, so she sighed in frustration and turned to say, "The slave and maid made a mistake. Please also ask the lady to punish me."
Ren Yaoqi's gaze was always on Mother Xu. Hearing this, he didn't answer immediately. He seemed to really want to punish her.
Rather, Mother Zhou looked at Ren Yaoqi and then at Mother Xu. She couldn't help but speak, "Miss, when the slave came in, she told Mother Xu to go and bring the almonds that she prepared for you. This is also the negligence of the slave and maidservant."
These days, Mother Zhou was also secretly observing Mother Xu. After all, Mother Xu and Mother Gao were the ones who jumped out to the Ren Yaoqi and Ren Yaohua sisters. She thought that if they were not good, she would be replaced early.
However, after observation during this period, Mother Zhou was very satisfied with Mother Xu and Mother Gao. Madam Gao is enthusiastic and generous, which complements Ren Yaohua's stern and arrogant temperament. The master and servant are unexpectedly harmonious. And Ren Yaoqi's mother Guan Fang, mother Xu, is calm and rigorous, and she is a big deal to be stable and stable.
Li's and Mother Zhou originally wanted to choose left and right hands and help for the two sisters, but Mother Zhou felt that Ren Yaoqi's attitude towards Mother Xu was a bit confusing. Although I handed over everything in my room to Grandma Xu, and Grandma Xu did a good job, Grandma Zhou still felt that Ren Yaoqi did not trust Grandma Xu, and even repelled her a little.
Mother Zhou always wanted to ask what Ren Yaoqi was thinking, but she never found a chance to ask. In her opinion, Mother Xu is really a rare right-hand man. If Ren Yaoqi can accept her, it will definitely be helpful in the future. She thinks Mother Xu can be trusted.
Ren Yaoqi has also been paying attention to Mother Xu quietly for a while. I have to say that this mother Xu is indeed a capable person. If it weren't for Ren Yaoqi's previous life experience, she would have to find a way to win over such a talent for her own use.
Ren Yaoqi never found anything wrong with Mother Xu. She had secretly asked Yuan Dayong to investigate Mother Xu, knowing that she really only had an only son, and her background was completely beyond doubt. The daughter who appeared inexplicably in the last life seems to have never existed.
However, Mother Xu has always been diligent and conscientious in doing things, and she was strict with the maids in the house when she should be strict and tolerant when she should be forgiving. The last time she reminded Ren Yaoqi that the green plum maid sent by Aunt Fang could not stay by her side, Ren Yaoqi let her take care of it. Soon after, she found a good excuse to transfer green plum to Ren Yaoqi’s. In the room, Ren Yaoqi was not involved at all, but Qingmei felt that she had a better future away from Ziweiyuan. When she left, she was very grateful to Mother Xu and even Ren Yaoqi.
The maid named Sydney, because Ren Yaoqi said it could be used, so Mother Xu didn't mention it in Ren Yaoqi's ear again. She was no different to Sydney from the other maids.
It's no wonder that even Mother Zhou looked at Mother Xu with admiration, and at the moment she was thinking of interceding for Mother Xu.
Ren Yaoqi himself also had a strange feeling. It seemed that the mother Xu still had no problem at present.
After thinking about it, Ren Yaoqi bent down slightly, and personally helped Mother Xu, with a very gentle tone: "Get up, I was joking before."
Mother Xu breathed a sigh of relief and said thanks before she got up from the ground.
Ren Yaoqi didn’t ask when Mother Xu came, and how much she heard. He seemed to forget that he was discussing something secret with Mother Zhou just now. He just picked up the cool bowl of almond dew and sipped. Take a sip.
Rather, Mother Xu saw that Mother Zhou gave her a wink and motioned her to withdraw, but she bowed out without saying anything.
Waiting for Mother Xu to leave, Mother Zhou said: "Miss, maid and wife all think that Madam Xu is good and a usable person. You can try her again. If you think there is no problem, what will happen in the future You can tell her to do things. From the last time the young plum maid’s affairs, you can see that Mother Xu has a means. With her by your side, it will be much easier for you to do things in the future."
Ren Yaoqi knew that Mother Zhou was really thinking about her, and when she saw her saying this, she didn't refute her. Instead, she nodded and smiled: "I'm just not used to it. I'll use her after a while. Mother, don’t worry about me."
Mother Zhou was more at ease with Ren Yaoqi than with Ren Yaohua. Seeing that she said this, she left the matter behind and talked about Ren Yaoyu again.
After that, Li sent Xi'er to Mother Zhao Zhou from the main room, and Ren Yaoqi ordered Mother Zhou to go back.
Ren Yaoqi hadn't made a decision on Mother Xu's affairs. She planned to wait for a while to deal with all these miscellaneous things before speaking.
Anyway, following the trajectory of the previous life, even if this mother Xu was ill-intentioned, it will be a few years later. When she was at Ren's house, it was really hard for Mother Xu to find the slightest mistake, otherwise it would be impossible for her to follow Ren Yaohua to Zeng's house because of her greatness.
However, what Ren Yaoqi did not expect was that when she was still taking a nap on the second day, Mother Xu took a bag of things in her arms and took the initiative to find her.
Looking at the half-dried dregs that were wrapped in a piece of indigo coarse cloth and spread on the kang table, Ren Yaoqi lightly lowered his eyes and covered himself. Unpredictable in the eyes. (To be continued
