Visiting Liu Mama
Su Qing didn’t answer when she heard the words, but looked at Wen Mama, who was on one side: “What does Wen Mama think?”
“We can arrive in the Capital in the next few days, and when that time comes, we can disembark from the boat and buy medicinal herbs . How could we allow the Master to accommodate the servants?” Wen Mama slightly lowered her eyes, her face filled with respect .
Su Qing nodded, but there was a troubled expression on her face . “That is not bad . During this time, all I have been thinking about is meeting my mother as soon as possible . Even if I was sick, I did not give the order to go to the shore . My illness is not severe, and it will recover two days later . But Liu Mama broke her leg, if I don’t order the boat to shore and buy her medicine, would you think that I am as Master was too mean?”
These words were Mu Yunyao’s suggestion to prevent Liu Mama from biting back after landing, saying that they were heartless and then tarnishing their reputation .
Mother Wen’s eyelids twitched fiercely, and then she shook her head with a smile on her face: “What are you talking about, Madam? You’re sick and yet insist on sailing . Liu Mama will definitely be able to endure this bit of pain . ”
Su Qing was sick, but she didn’t go ashore to buy medicinal herbs . Instead, she only wanted to travel to the Capital as soon as possible . It showed filial piety and worthy of praise . How could a servant like Liu Mama be more precious than Old Lady? Naturally, she could not delay the return of Su Qing and Mu Yunyao to the Su family’s residence .Su Qing heaved a sigh of relief . “Then, I am relieved . Liu Mama, please rest . We will arrive in the Capital in the next few days . ”
Mu Yunyao also sighed with worry . “Liu Mama, don’t worry . Once the boat approaches the shore, I’ll immediately tell Ying Xue and Jian Chun to help you buy medicinal ingredients . You’ll definitely be safe and sound . ”
Liu Mama’s anger reached its boiling point after her plan failed . When she saw the expressions of Su Qing and Mu Yunyao, she felt a tightness in her chest and almost lost her breath . Her face immediately turned red and purple as her entire face contorted: those two were obviously gloating over her misfortunes!
Wen Mama’s eyebrows twitched and quickly went to the side of the bed to block Liu Mama . She gave a respectful bow to Su Qing and Mu Yunyao, “Madam and Young Miss are kind-hearted . This old servant thanks you on behalf of Liu Mama . ”
Su Qing nodded, “If that’s the case, then Liu Mama should pay more attention to rest . I’ve got a bad headache, and I’m feeling a little nauseous . . . ”
Mu Yunyao hurriedly stepped forward to support Su Qing . “Mother, you’re also sick right now . Hurry back and rest . ” After saying that, she directly helped her walk back .
When the two of them left the room and closed the door, Liu Mama could not help but clench her teeth . “These two really are the ones who don’t know…”
“Liu Mama . ” Wen Mama abruptly interrupted her, her expression exceptionally sharp . “You should be able to calm yourself down and rest right now . Since the Master has come to visit you due to illness, shouldn’t you be grateful that Madam and Young Miss go to see you?”
Liu Mama wasn’t brainless . When she heard Wen Mama’s words, she immediately realized her mistake and became frightened . “Elder Sister, my legs are in so much pain that I’m a little muddled, and my mouth is full of nonsense…I felt really touched that Madam and Young Miss can come to visit me . ”
Only then did the sharp light in Wen Mama’s eyes recede . “If your brain isn’t clear, then speak less . So that you don’t get into trouble from your mouth . ”
“Yes, I understand . ” At this moment, Liu Mama had calmed down as well .
She has been with the Eldest Madam for such a long time, and it can be said that no one had offended her . Suddenly, she heard that the Old Madam had a daughter who lives outside . She could vaguely feel the Eldest Madam’s contempt and disgust towards Su Qing, so she wanted to make things difficult for them and asked for a favor in front of the Eldest Madam . But she completely forgot that no matter how many years Su Qing lived outside and what she experienced, she was still her Master . Not to mention that the attitude of many people in the Su family was still unclear . She rushed forward like this, saying that she might have beaten to death .
Wen Mama walked out and looked in the direction where Mu Yunyao and Su Qing left . Her expression on her face gradually deepened .
Returning to her room, Mu Yunyao called Ying Xue and Jian Chun over . She told them to go to the doctor to buy medicinal ingredients as soon as the boat reached shore and helped Liu Mama treat her leg injuries . After seeing the two of them respond, she waves them to retreat .
Su Qing sighed with indescribable melancholy in her eyes, “Yao’er, no matter what, Liu mama is just a servant . Why would she dare to attack us like this?”
Mu Yunyao held her hand with a slight smile on her face . “Mother, no matter when it was in Xiayan Village or Jingling City, our lives were relatively simple, and we didn’t have that many scheming and intrigues . But the Su family is different . The total number of people there is probably more than the villagers in Xiayan Village . Everyone had their own Master, and every Master had their own plans . Their rule and etiquette are intensely strict . The first wife was in charge of the backyard, and each of the Mamas under her had a distinctive face, just like that Liu mama, although she is not the confidant of the Eldest Madam, yet some of the Su family’s unfavoured daughters still have to greet her when they see her . ”
Su Qing opened her eyes wide, “So it’s like that?”
“Mother, isn’t there an old saying? A third rank official in front of the Prime Minister’s gate and a servant guarding the door of the Prime Minister’s residence were all comparable to a third rank official in terms of the face . Similarly, the Mama who served under the first wife was also different from the rest . Besides, Mother had left the Su family as a child and grew up in the countryside . After that, you had married Father, who was also impoverished . Furthermore, I went into business and became a merchant . In the eyes of the Su Family, these things are very unworthy of their reputation . At this moment, the Su Family is probably angry that we have lost all their face . ”
“If that’s the case, why did they bring us back?” Su Qing couldn’t tell if she was sad or angry . “I would rather stay in Jingling City and be free . ”
Mu Yunyao smiled slightly . “When Mother was walking, she accidentally squished an ant . Could you have experienced the ant’s despair from losing its life?”
“This . . . I’m just not careful . I’m afraid I didn’t notice . . . ”
Mu Yunyao’s smile contained a hint of self-mockery, “Yeah . To the Su family, we’re just like ants that they stepped on . They only think about what they should do and won’t care about what we think at all . Maybe even feel we should be grateful!”
Su Qing couldn’t help but raise a hand to hug Mu Yunyao . She gently patted her back and said, “Yao’er, don’t be sad . They don’t care about you, but Mother does . In the future, if the Su family does not have any thoughts of harming us, then we will respect them from afar . If they still want to harm you, we . . . , we . . . , we will treat them all as our enemies . Even if Mother were to put her life on the line, she would protect you . ”
Mu Yunyao’s eyes couldn’t help but turn red, and her heart ached . “Mother, don’t be so nervous . The ant we talked about just now was just an analogy . Right now, I am an iron nail . If they dare to step on it, they will only let their blood drip . I will also protect my mother and not let her suffer any grievances . ”
“Alright . ”
