"It stands to reason that she shouldn't be so short-sighted, but who knows what she is thinking? This is not something that a slave would dare to do. If he is greedy for a thousand taels of silver from Master Mo's family, he will definitely die if he is found out. Who would dare to do this if it would implicate the family?" the old lady said angrily.
Meng Shu knew that she was furious, so he quickly took her arm to persuade her, and told other things about her to make the old lady happy.
To put it bluntly, what Grandma cares about is not the thousand taels of silver, but Huang's attitude.
After their grandfather and grandson had finished their dinner, Meng Shu accompanied her for a walk in the garden. After sending her back, she returned to the Fanghua Courtyard where she lived.
"Have you noticed that even though Shu'er was coaxing me, an old woman, just now, she was a little absent-minded. Sometimes when I talked to her, she was distracted and didn't answer questions properly." The old lady looked at Meng Shu's retreating back, then turned to Qi beside her. Grandma said.
Aunt Qi was stunned when she heard this, and then smiled and said: "My servant, look at me, the eldest lady is looking at the sky. It seems that she has something to rush back to Fanghuayuan to deal with."
After hearing what she said, the old lady said with some annoyance: "I was so angry with Mr. Huang today that I talked a lot to myself, but I didn't notice that the girl was in a hurry to go back."
"I think it's not a very important matter. Otherwise, given the temperament of the young lady, I would have told you a long time ago." Aunt Qi said.
"That's right!" The old lady smiled and nodded.
Meng Shu walked quickly and returned to Fanghua Courtyard soon. Even Su Ye and others felt a little surprised.
Is there something urgent, Miss?
"Su Ye, it's getting late, you go and have a rest first!" Meng Shu turned around and ordered.
"Young lady hasn't washed up yet, don't you need servants to serve you?" Su Ye was slightly startled and asked quickly.
Meng Shu: "..."
She almost forgot about this.
"Except for Liu Lu who is on duty at night, everyone else should go and have a rest. I will read for a while and then wash up later!" Meng Shu said with a smile.
"But Miss, it's a little late now. Miss, please read again tomorrow. Don't hurt your eyes." Su Ye said quickly.
"I just flipped through the recipe booklet that Master gave me before and rested for a while." Meng Shu felt that Su Ye was not as easy to fool as before. How did this girl become smarter?
Among the maids around her, Su Ye was the most talkative and courageous. Of course, she had grown up with Meng Shu since childhood and was the daughter of Meng Shu's nanny. Although they were masters and servants, they had a very good relationship.
But this girl is also the most impatient, not as careful and smart as Banxia and Qiu Sang.
Today I am alert.
"Yes, slave, please leave!" Su Ye and others responded in unison.
As soon as they left, Meng Shu waved to Liu Lu to come over.
"Miss." Liu Lu was blessed and was about to say something when she suddenly smelled a faint fragrance and fainted to the ground the next moment.
Meng Shu took back the small porcelain bottle, helped Liu Lu lie down on the soft couch, then walked to the window and opened it.
As she expected, the emperor was standing outside the window.
It's already October, and the weather is already very cold. The cold wind has been howling in the past few days, and the weather has been gloomy. In the next two days, it's probably going to snow.
Meng Shu always wore a big cloak when she went out these days.
On the other hand, the emperor outside the window was still wearing night clothes, which looked very thin.
Meng Shu didn't know how long he had been waiting, but he felt quite cold anyway.
Maybe it was because he came back too late today and made him stand outside the window for a long time, or maybe it was too cold. When Meng Shu opened his mouth, he was surprised.
"Your Majesty, please come in and sit down!"
The emperor came very early today, just to see Meng Shu earlier and talk to her a few more words, but in the end he was in vain.
He had indeed been waiting for a long time, and it was still not easy to avoid the few maids in the courtyard who knew martial arts.
But now that he is strong and healthy and has deep internal strength, he doesn't feel too cold at all.
But Meng Shu actually asked him to come in and sit down, which was an unexpected surprise.
He had been coming to see her for more than half a month, but the girl didn't treat him as an emperor at all. She was afraid that she would just treat him as a protégé who visited the boudoir at night, so... she never let him in.
Today, she relaxed. Does that mean that she is not completely without him in her heart?
Thinking of this, the emperor began to pretend to be pitiful.
Pretending to be sick, he was very good at it.
But... how is he going to get in, through the window?
Meng Shu also discovered this problem.
There are servants guarding the door. Although they are not as good at martial arts as Qingdai and others, they still know some boxing and kicking skills. It is impossible for the emperor to come in without anyone noticing.
Is it possible that, like she did to Liu Lu, she would knock them down with the drug she made and let the emperor in?
If she really did this, it would seem like there was something going on between her and the emperor, like they were having a secret meeting.
But if not, would the emperor be required to climb in through the window?
As a majestic emperor, it is enough to leave him outside the door for more than half a month. It is not appropriate to invite others to come in and sit down and ask him to climb through the window.
Before Meng Shu could make up her mind, the emperor had already climbed in through the window.
"It's so cold!" The emperor trembled slightly and sneezed twice.
"My lord, let me make some ginger tea and bring it to you." After Meng Shu finished speaking, he went to the door to give the order himself.
The maid guarding outside felt a little surprised. After all, Liu Lu was still waiting inside, so the lady shouldn't have to give orders in person.
However, they didn't think too much and quickly went to prepare.
When Meng Shu returned to the inner room, she found that the emperor had moved a small stool and sat beside the brazier.
This look doesn't look like an emperor.
Is he also so informal in the palace?
"Your Majesty, please ask someone to bring in two more charcoal basins," Meng Shu said.
She's not afraid of the cold, and it hasn't snowed yet, so there's no earthworm burning in the house.
For example, my grandmother's bedroom was on fire a few days ago.
"No need to bother, sit down." The emperor pointed to the small stool beside him.
He not only moved a stool for himself, but also for Meng Shu.
Meng Shu paused slightly, then went over and sat down after a moment.
"Your Majesty, the weather is getting colder and colder, and you are also very busy. If you always come to talk to me, it will delay the emperor's rest. If you get sick because of this, my daughter will be uneasy." Meng Shu said.
When the emperor heard this, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
He thought that he had shamelessly pestered her for more than half a month, and in her mind, he was different from others. As a result...she was now trying to drive him away and told him not to come again in the future.
This girl's heart is really hard.
"I am strong and healthy now. I just go out for a walk at night. It's no problem." The emperor didn't dare to pretend to be weak anymore. He even sat down with his head down.
"But..." Meng Shu frowned slightly.
"I just want to say a few words to you, and I won't do anything nonsense. When you go to Guiyun City in the future, it will be difficult for me to talk to you. I have said that I will never force you or force anyone to do anything. "Don't worry," the emperor said softly.
