Chapter 180 Spicy Dinner
As Mengxi and the others arrived at the Begonia Garden, the little girl outside the gate turned around and ran into the garden when she saw them.
"Stop, you blind little bastard. Didn't you see the Second Master and Second Madam coming over? Why don't you come over to pay your respects? What are you running for? Are you in a hurry to be reincarnated?"
When Zhiqiu saw the maid's expression, she knew something was wrong and how could she let her go as she wished, so she hurriedly called out to stop her and started scolding her.
When the little maid heard the shout, she dared not run away. She quickly stopped, walked back slowly, fell to her knees with a plop, and said:
"I was very happy to see the Second Master and Second Madam coming. I wanted to tell Aunt Cui to come out and greet them. I didn't want to offend the Second Master and Second Madam. I beg them to forgive me "
"My aunt is sick, how can we let her come out to greet you? You are such an unruly girl. I don't know how my aunt Cui usually trains you. I'll forgive you this time. Be careful next time. Get up."
Mengxi glanced at the gloomy Second Master and said to the little maid on the ground. The maid responded quickly, got up, stood aside, and followed the four people into the courtyard.
The four of them arrived at the door of the room. Just as Hongzhu was about to go forward to open the door for the Second Master and the Second Mistress, the door was pushed open from the inside with a creak. Wu'er came out, and when she saw the four people standing outside, she subconsciously wanted to close the door and turned back. Zhiqiu grabbed the door and pulled it open. Wu'er staggered and almost fell. She quickly let go, held on to the door frame, and stood looking at them stupidly.
"Why are you hiding when you meet the Second Master and Second Madam? " Hongzhu scolded in dissatisfaction.
Wu Er was shocked when he saw Zhi Qiu's aggressive look. He knelt at the door, blocking everyone and shouted:
"Hello, Second Master, Hello, Second Madam. Second Master and Second Madam are here. I will tell Auntie to come out and pick you up."
Mengxi frowned, wondering why she had never noticed that Wu'er had such a loud voice before.
The Second Master's face sank, and without saying a word, he walked around Wu'er and went in. He was familiar with the place and went straight to Aunt Cui's bedroom. Mengxi was a little confused as it was her first time here, but seeing the Second Master going straight to the east room, she followed him in.
When they entered the room, they saw that the bed curtain had just been drawn. Si'er stood there in panic, looking at the four people who pushed the door open. It seemed that his whole body was trembling, and he even forgot to greet the second master and the second mistress. Seeing Si'er being so rude, they were secretly shocked and looked into the bed together. They saw a person sitting in the pink gauze curtain, motionless. They thought it was Aunt Cui. It was nothing. Why was Si'er so abnormal? Mengxi wondered puzzled.
Zaojian Zhiqiu walked forward and lifted the gauze curtain. Zhiqiu screamed "Ah", blushed immediately, and turned away. Hongyu also screamed and turned head away, not daring to look at the bed again.
Just now, Zhiqiu's body blocked the sight of the Second Master and Second Mistress. Mengxi didn't see what was going on in the bed. When she heard Zhiqiu's cry, she was secretly shocked. What did Aunt Cui do to scare Zhiqiu, who was as cute as a little pepper in her family, so much? When Zhiqiu moved away, Mengxi also looked into the bed curiously:
Damn! This is so ridiculous!
I saw Aunt Cui leaning on the bed, wearing a pink, hazy and transparent gauze. A circle of white pleated gauze was lightly fitted on the upper part and draped over the sexy shoulders, making her look infinitely soft and attractive. Apart from that, there was nothing else on. Her snow-white shoulders and thighs were exposed, and two red buds were faintly visible.
Even Mengxi didn't dare to look at her lower body again. Aunt Cui was even more terrified. She stretched out her hands into the bed, trying to grab something to cover her shame. But the bed was empty except for the pink sheet under her, just like her body. She grabbed for a long time but didn't catch anything. She looked at the Second Master and the Second Mistress with a pleading face like a pug.
As expected of Mengxi, in the TV beauty pageant in the previous life, she had seen women wearing only three-point clothes. She was stunned for a moment, then calmed down. A faint fragrance floated into her nose. The fragrance was unique and strong. After careful identification, it was faintly composed of musk. Musk? Although this substance can excite people and stimulate lust, it can also make people infertile. This Cui Yi Niang is simply crazy. She really did everything to seduce the second master. She would rather not have children! In this ancient time when filial piety comes first and having no offspring is the greatest, in this era when concubines are just tools for men to reproduce, this alone can kill her.
Zhiqiu gently tugged at Second Madam's clothes from behind. Mengxi looked at her and saw her nodding towards the door and pointing at Second Master. According to Zhiqiu , they should go out now and leave this erotic scene to Second Master, letting him clean up the mess.
When Zhiqiu reminded him, Mengxi remembered that the Second Master was still by her side. Her body stiffened for a moment, and her face became slightly hot. She thought to herself: The Second Master likes strange fragrances by nature. Under the stimulation of this strong musk and the fragrant fragrance of his concubine, he must be bleeding from his nose, right?
When he thought of this, he didn't even dare to look at the Second Master, for fear of seeing an embarrassing scene.
She took a step forward, preparing to go out with Hongzhu Zhiqiu first. She caught a glimpse of Aunt Cui staring at the Second Master with watery eyes. Her heart was moved, and she suddenly remembered that the Second Master had blamed her for not coming and delaying Aunt Cui's treatment. Her anger rose again. She thought he wished that the three of them would leave earlier.
I made up my mind and thought to myself:
"Second Master, you forced me to come here because you were afraid of delaying my treatment. You can't blame me for that. Now you want to have an affair with me, but I won't let you succeed!"
Mengxi was furious, but her face remained calm. She turned to look at Si'er, who was standing there like a wooden sculpture. She said to her:
"Why don't you sit down and serve tea, Master?"
After saying this, she didn't even look at the Second Master, but walked straight to the chair beside the table and stood there. Zhiqiu hurried forward and wiped the chair with a handkerchief, helped her sit down, and stood behind the Second Madam, not looking away. At this moment, she really didn't dare to look anywhere else.
Seeing the Second Madam like this, Hongzhu sighed inwardly. This Second Madam has never been at peace for a moment. It seems that she is about to stir up trouble again, but this time is different from the past. This Concubine Cui is the apple of the Second Master's eye. She has been a concubine for only a few days, and she has been promoted to a concubine. Seeing her pitiful look at this moment, the Second Master must be heartbroken. If the Second Madam doesn't do a favor for her at this time, it would be strange if the Second Master doesn't hate her to death. Isn't this asking for death?
If Second Madam continues to behave like this, I'm afraid she will be kicked out soon. Thinking of this, Hongzhu gently called Second Madam and glanced at the door. The meaning was clear: it would be better for her to go out at this time.
Seeing that the Second Madam didn't say anything and just glanced at her indifferently, Hongzhu sighed secretly. As servants, they had no right to speak on the master's affairs. She gritted her teeth and walked forward, wiped the chair next to the Second Madam with a handkerchief, and invited the Second Master to sit down.
When Aunt Cui saw the Second Madam like this, she no longer had time to exchange glances with the Second Master, but looked at the Second Madam with horror.
The Second Master didn't believe that Aunt Cui was sick, fearing that it was just an excuse. But since Aunt Cui was sick, he couldn't just sit there and do nothing. He insisted on bringing Mengxi here, just to remind Aunt Cui that there was a mistress in the backyard, and if she was sick, she should be informed, so that she wouldn't pretend to be sick every other day.
But he never dreamed that his Aunt Cui would be bold enough to prepare such a spicy dinner for him. Although he was experienced, he still felt his ears burning in front of his dainty wife. According to his opinion, he should go to the hall and wait for Aunt Cui to get dressed, and then talk in the hall to avoid embarrassment for everyone.
Just as he was about to turn around, he heard Mengxi asking someone to sit down and watch. He looked at her and saw that she still had a calm expression, as if this matter was commonplace and there was nothing to be surprised about. Seeing Xier's expression at this moment, he couldn't help but think of their wedding. Once she came into the room and ran into him and Hongyu in bed. She also walked in calmly and was about to sit there and watch. He couldn't help but wail in his heart:
God! What kind of wife did he marry? She loves to torment people like this!
Seeing Mengxi already sitting down, he couldn't turn around and leave, as it would be embarrassing for Mengxi. Seeing Hongzhu had already prepared a chair, he had no choice but to sit down. It was clearly not his business, but he sat there at this moment, feeling guilty and not daring to look at Mengxi. He shook his sleeves, and then shook them again, and sat there dryly.
It was not until then that Si'er came to his senses. He hurriedly asked Wu'er, who was still in a daze at the door, to prepare tea for the Second Master and the Second Madam. He took out a thin blanket from the cupboard and covered Aunt Cui with it. Then he turned around and knelt on the ground to kowtow to the Second Master and the Second Madam.
The room fell silent. All eyes were on the Second Grandma. She was looking at her ten little fingers carefully. Maybe Zhiqiu hadn't trimmed them properly yesterday, so she was looking at them over and over again, which made even Zhiqiu feel a little uneasy.
Wu Er came in with a silver tray with two teacups and a teapot on it. She gently placed it on the table, then carefully brought out the teapot and teacups, placed them in front of the Second Master and Second Mistress, and said softly:
"Second Master, Second Madam, please have some tea."
Mengxi looked at her expressionlessly. Wu'er shuddered and almost dropped the teacup on the ground.
After putting the teacups away, Wu'er picked up the tray, walked to the door and handed it to the maid outside, then closed the door, turned around and knelt down next to Si'er.
Mengxi picked up the teacup, blew on it, took a sip, and scanned everyone with his eyes. Si'er and Wu'er were sweating profusely, not to mention Aunt Cui. Then he put down the cup in his hand and said:
"Although it is summer and the weather is getting hotter day by day, there is still cold air coming up from underground. Aunt Cui was dressed so coolly, no wonder she caught a cold and got sick. Si'er, Aunt Cui is sick, have you called a doctor?"
Everyone then remembered that Aunt Cui was ill. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that she was not ill at all, but that the Second Mistress was deliberately looking for trouble.
"Replying to Second Madam, I did not call the doctor."
"You bold servant, Concubine Cui is ill, and you have called the Second Master, but you haven't called a doctor. Is it possible that the Second Master doesn't know how to diagnose the disease? You have delayed Concubine Cui's treatment. How can you be responsible for your life?"
"I know I was wrong, please forgive me, Madam."
"Hurry up and call the doctor!"
After hearing this, Si'er and Wu'er were so frightened that they kowtowed and begged for mercy. How could they dare to go find a doctor? It would be humiliating to stay at home, so how could they ask an outsider to look after the patient?
