MTL - Rebirth of the High Gate Mistress-Chapter 24 From now on, she will still have to rely on herself
Chapter 24 From now on, she still has to rely on herself
Taking advantage of this gap, Jingshu saw clearly that it was the boat woman again.
This woman comes here again and again, obviously she has no good intentions.
Jing Shu’s mind was racing, thinking about how to deal with it.
The woman glanced at the soup bowl that was placed aside intact, and said hesitantly: "Madam, why didn't you drink this **** tea?"
She quietly broke the lock and entered the house, presumably because she was already asleep. Looking at her guilty look, it was obvious that the soup must have been tampered with by her.
She wants to charm her!
What does she want to do to her?
Jingshu calmed down, but did not point her out immediately. Instead, she used a delaying tactic and said, "Why hasn't mother-in-law gone to bed yet?"
The woman hesitated and said: "I, I am thinking about my wife, and I am worried that my wife will not be able to sleep well here alone."
As she spoke, she looked at Jingshu with her eyes.
Jingshu didn't say anything and just walked away from her to get on the bed. However, her eyes quickly looked around, looking for something to defend herself.
The woman probably noticed that Jing Shu was wary of her, so she followed Jing Shu step by step.
While Jingshu wasn't paying attention, she hugged her. Jingshu was so frightened that she shouted, "What are you doing?"
The woman hugged her tightly and said, "Don't be afraid, madam. I'm not a bad person, and I have absolutely no intention of harming my wife."
Jingshu struggled and said, "Let me go. What are you doing?"
Like an old bitch, the mother-in-law sniffed Jingshu again and again, shouting: "My dear madam, you are so beautiful. Please, let me touch you."
Jingshu was so disgusted that she almost vomited.
At this moment, she finally understood what the boat woman was up to. She was ashamed and annoyed at the moment, and said sternly: "You are such a courageous woman, how dare you be rude to me."
That woman had been doing menial work all year round, and she had a lot of brute strength. No matter how hard Jingshu struggled to free herself, she could not leave her clothes. She saw her stretching out a pair of rough, wrinkled hands to reach into her clothes.
In a hurry, Jing Shu saw the dagger that Li Ling used to kill fish hanging on the hanger. He had just left in a hurry and landed here.
Jingshu struggled with the old woman and struggled to reach the dagger. She then pulled out the sharp blade and pointed it at the old woman's face, saying sternly: "If you dare to be rude again, I will kill you."
The old woman calmed down after seeing the sharp weapon. When she saw Jingshu holding a dagger in her hand and staring at her with a pair of almond-shaped eyes full of anger, she was so frightened that she immediately knelt down and begged: "Madam, please spare your life, I am." I just covet Madam’s beauty, but I have no intention of harming Madam, please forgive me, Madam.”
Jingshu held the dagger in one hand, freed up the other hand to untie the cloth straps that tied the bed curtain, and tied the old woman's hands tightly with disgust.
Seeing Jingshu like this, the old woman finally felt relieved after knowing that she had spared her life. She muttered: "Thank you Madam for your kindness. I am willing to repay Madam like a cow or a horse from now on."
As she sat there, she looked at Jingshu eagerly and begged: "Madam, please keep me by your side to serve me. As long as I can stay by Madam's side, I can do anything Madam asks me to do."
Jingshu couldn't stand the old woman anymore, so she picked up a rag on the table and blocked her mouth, saying angrily: "You want to serve me, but I still dislike you for being dirty."
After saying that, she turned around and left the cabin.
She didn't want to stay here any longer.
The white fish belly was dimly exposed in the water and sky, and the rain had gradually slowed down. The cool breeze from the lake blew against her face, and Jing Shu couldn't help but shiver.
She walked to the bow, picked up the pole, and tried to punt away.
At first, the boat slid randomly in the water and did not obey orders.
Jingshu struggled to hold on while trying to find a trick. It took a lot of effort to get the boat to listen to her.
The early morning wind was hard and cool, mixed with rain, which wet Jingshu's clothes. She didn't care about it anymore and struggled to hold the boat back. Every moment between her and Li Ling flashed through her mind uncontrollably.
It's like having a dream.
In just over a month, he made her fall in love with him again, but he let her down again.
She shouldn't be immersed in his tenderness.
In this cold wind and rain, she woke up again.
From now on, she still has to rely on herself!
When the sun showed a small part of its face, Jingshu finally pushed the boat to the shore. The clothes on her body had already been soaked by rain and sweat. She suddenly stopped moving and felt the biting cold.
Jing Shu shivered and took off her shoes, stepped ashore on the cold water, and headed toward her residence in a state of embarrassment.
The moment Ziyun saw Jingshu, he screamed in surprise: "What's wrong with you? What happened?"
Jingshu was speechless and went to the inner room to take off her already soaked clothes.
Her face was pale as a sheet from the cold, there was no warmth in her body, and she was so cold that she had long lost consciousness.
Ziyun didn't care anymore about asking questions. He quickly filled the bathtub with hot water and helped Jingshu sit in it.
Jingshu soaked in the hot water for a while before she came back to life. She glanced at Ziyun, who looked worried and didn't dare to ask more questions. She said to Ziyun, "I'm fine, I just got caught in the rain when I came back early in the morning. "
How can Ziyun believe it?
Yesterday, my young lady went out happily with her uncle, but she was in such a mess after this night.
Most likely it has something to do with my uncle!
Ziyun was silent, but his expression was extremely ugly.
Jing Shu knew that she was not easy to fool, so she explained: "Something happened in the palace yesterday. The prince went back to the city. It rained heavily in the middle of the night, so I didn't come back. When I came back early in the morning, I forgot to hold an umbrella, so I was caught in the rain. ." After saying that, she looked at Ziyun and comforted: "I'm fine, you don't have to worry."
Ziyun's eyes were red, and she held on and said, "As long as everything is fine, Miss."
Jingshu changed into dry pajamas. Ziyun helped her get into bed and ordered **** soup to be cooked in the kitchen for Jingshu to drink.
Seeing that Jingshu's pale face finally had color, Ziyun felt a little relieved and advised: "Miss, don't think about anything else, just have a good sleep."
Jingshu nodded. After struggling all night, she was frightened, scared and tired, so she fell into a deep sleep under the warm quilt.
She slept until around noon, but when she woke up, she felt her throat was tight, and Ziyun felt her forehead was slightly warm.
Obviously ill.
Ziyun wanted to go find the doctor, but was stopped by Jingshu.
There are naturally doctors in this garden, but Jingshu doesn't want to alarm others. She has already caused rumors because she lost her virginity and married into the Duke of Zhen's palace. If this matter is spread, she will not be able to survive.
No matter how open-minded she is, she can't resist endless gossip.
This boat woman will be punished sooner or later, so leave this evil woman to the male protagonist to take care of her daughter-in-law.
