Chapter 7 — After My Father Inducted Seven Nuns, They Immediately Prepared Me A Timetable

In the second half of the banquet, a little maid suddenly rushed out from the side holding a bowl of soup, just straight towards me. If it really hits. The new outfit on one's body will definitely be destroyed. But we will also become extremely struggling in front of everyone. But before that maid could even touch me, Concubine Tan reached out and grabbed her back collar. The bowl of soup fell to the ground. The little maid was so scared that there was no blood left on her face. Concubine Tan asked coldly:

“Who sent you here?”

The little maid could only cry.

“This slave was not careful, it was really not intentional.”

Concubine Tan didn't say anything. Just look towards me. The whole room simultaneously looked towards me. This is a test. If we get angry on the spot, others will say we are harsh. If we easily ignore it, "inadvertent" incidents like this will only become more frequent in the future. I thought for a moment then said:

"There's a guest here today, it's not convenient to interrogate her. Take her down first, guard carefully, don't let anyone come into contact with her."

Aunt Lieu stood next to her and nodded slightly. The banquet continued to take place. Let's change to another cup of tea. My palms were full of sweat. By evening, everything was clearly investigated. That little maid was recommended by Uncle Tam's palace and was only bought into our palace for a day or two. The maid next to Hua Minh Chau gave her two taels of silver and told her to find an opportunity to bump into me. That little maid has a younger brother who is seriously ill at home. Because I needed money urgently, I agreed. After hearing the whole story, I was silent for a long time. If according to the rules. At least that little maid will be sold. But when Concubine Ta heard the words "my younger brother is seriously ill", she slightly raised her eyes and looked at me. She never opened her mouth to ask for love.

“If you want to verify whether this statement is true or false, I can take a trip.”

I nodded. Concubine Ta went immediately. Half an hour later, she returned. There was also a faint smell of medicine on the body.

"It's true. That child has had a high fever for three days. The family doesn't have money to call a doctor. If it continues any longer, his life will be in danger."

“Can it be saved?”

"It can be saved. But you have to use medicine."

“Then save.”

Concubine Ta looked at me.

"You've thought this through, haven't you? Saving her younger brother doesn't mean that the maid is not wrong."

“I know.”

“It was wrong for her to harm you.”

"It's true that her younger brother is sick."

“These two things must be handled separately.”

A little smile finally appeared in Concubine Ta's eyes.

“That's good.”

I didn't beat that little maid to death. Don't immediately sell her. I told Concubine Ta to go save her younger brother. At the same time, tell the housekeeper to take her and her testimony back to Uncle Tam's mansion. In the letter, write only one sentence:

"Someone else's life has been saved for you, so please keep your face."

The next day, Uncle Tam's palace spread the news. Hua Minh Chau was detained. My father asked:

“Why don't you make a big deal out of it?”

“Because she hasn't succeeded yet.”

“But she wanted to harm me.”

“I know.”

I looked at my father.

"But if you make a big deal out of it, the outside world will only talk about the Hua family fighting. She will lose face and you will lose face too. It's better to let Third Uncle close the door and handle the matter at home."

My father looked at me for a long time. Suddenly burst out laughing.

“If my mother saw, It will definitely be fun.”

My eyes immediately turned red.

“Really?”

That night, I sat in front of my mother's tablet for a long time. We tell each story we have learned recently to our listeners. It was said that Concubine Do taught me how to read books. Concubine Qin forced me to stand and attack. Aunt Liu taught me how to talk. Concubine Xie saved that little maid's younger brother, and at the same time taught me how to separate a person's mistakes and suffering and recognize them. Concubine Nguyen said my gait was as if I was being chased by the road. Concubine Song taught us to recognize cracks in gemstones. Concubine Hua forced me to read historical books. I read until midnight and was so tired that I fell asleep on the table. We talked back and forth, and finally we burst into tears.

“Mother, it seems I am no longer as scared as before.”
