Chapter 645 Uneasy
After the Xueniang family arranged everything, they came to greet Haitang and asked her to go into the palace to kowtow to the princess to thank her. However, Haitang repeatedly resisted, saying that the princess was busy, so she should not disturb her. If she wanted to, she could just kowtow to the palace a few times.
Xue Niang kept talking, but in the end she became a little unhappy. She had always been good-tempered, but she had clear grievances. She couldn't help but said: "Begonia, you have to be grateful as a human being. We are where we are now, isn't it because of the princess?"
After spending your whole life in the palace, why are you... not even willing to kowtow? Is it possible that the princess canceled your slave status and became a good citizen, and you think you have gold under your knees? "
"No, Snow Lady, we have known each other for a long time. You should know that I am not this kind of person." Haitang hurriedly explained, but she didn't know where to start.
When the news of Miss Zhongyi Houfu's death spread, she was frightened. Although everyone said that Miss Zhongyi Houfu died of a recurrence of an old disease, she was sure that it couldn't be such a coincidence. Someone must have done something to her.
Although she fell into the world and became a singer, and lived in some dirty places, her hands were still clean. No matter how bad the environment was, she never had any intention of harming others.
But this time she always felt that the death of Miss Zhongyi Houfu was related to the last time Mrs. Quan Si took her and said a lot of encouraging words to the Gao family. If this were to happen, wouldn't she have indirectly killed someone?
Haitang felt uneasy, but she didn't dare to tell anyone, let alone ask Mrs. Quan Si. Some things were better not known, because the more she knew, the sooner she would die.
As Xue Niang said just now, the princess was very kind to her. In the end, she even arranged a good place for her. When she arrived in Xue Niang's husband's hometown, as long as she had this piece of paper, no one would doubt her past.
I only know that she came from the palace, not
Knowing whether she was a singer or a maid, the identity of a singer was not honorable after all. Xue Niang deliberately misled her at that time, vaguely saying that she was a sister in the palace, so her husband naturally thought that she was also a maid and took care of her in every way.
It’s Xue Niang’s maiden sister.
When she arrived in a new place, no one knew her, so she could find a good family to marry and live the life of an ordinary person. How nice it would be.
But when she thought that all this might have happened in exchange for human life, Haitang felt very uneasy. She didn't dare to blame the princess because she felt indescribable.
"Haitang, what's wrong with you?" Xue Niang noticed something was wrong with Haitang and saw that Haitang was speechless, so she guessed, "Do you not want to go back to the countryside with us? If you really don't want to, just say it. Liu'er and the others will also
Still there, if you really don’t want to leave, it doesn’t matter. I think the princess probably has good intentions, but if you really don’t want to, she won’t blame you.”
"No, Xue Niang, it's not that I don't want to leave, it's just..." Haitang really didn't know what to say. Could it be that she wanted to tell Xue Niang that she suspected that the princess was a ruthless person who would kill people without blinking an eye for her own benefit? Let's not mention this.
Everything is just her guess. Even if it is true, the princess has not harmed them. She shouldn't think so.
"Perhaps you have lost some of your wishes?" Xue Niang speculated again.
"No, Xue Niang, I know you care about me, but I really have nothing to do. I just kowtow to the princess... Just kowtow for me, I really..." Haitang became anxious after being forced to ask.
He made an excuse and said, "You know my previous identity. As soon as I enter the palace, I feel... Maybe in your opinion, this is just a small thing, but I feel that as soon as I enter the palace, I feel like I become a singer again. I...
…It’s so uncomfortable.”
"That's it!" Xue Niang couldn't understand, but after thinking about it, her identity as a singer was indeed disgraceful. It was actually understandable that Haitang had such thoughts, and she shouldn't be too harsh.
While they were talking, someone knocked on the door outside. Haitang went out and looked a little ugly. Standing outside was Mrs. Quan Si with a smile on her face.
No matter how much she didn't want to see Mrs. Quan Fourth, Haitang still had to welcome her into the house.
Mrs. Quan Si was a little surprised when she saw Xue Niang, and then said: "Begonia, you have guests here, am I disturbing you?"
"In other words, we are just chatting about everyday things. Why bother with a small family?" Xue Niang completely saw that something was wrong with Haitang this time, so she took the lead and made some remarks.
"That's good." After Mrs. Quan Si said this, she smiled and did not continue, but just looked at Xue Niang.
Xue Niang understood that Mrs. Quan Si must have something to do with Haitang and she should leave first, but seeing that Haitang looked wrong, she was a little worried.
Haitang couldn't guess the purpose of Mrs. Quan Si's visit, but she also knew that she was definitely not here to visit. Some things could not be avoided, so she said to Xue Niang: "Sister Xue Niang, I will come to you after I have packed up. There will be more trouble in the future."
You are."
"Then I'll leave first and come back to see you tomorrow." When Xue Niang heard what Haitang said, she breathed a sigh of relief, nodded and left.
"Mrs. Fourth, please sit down. I'll make you a pot of tea." Haitang was a little nervous and didn't know what Mrs. Quan was going to say. In order to ease the atmosphere, she planned to talk while drinking tea.
"No, I'll just say a few words. Haitang, please sit down." Mrs. Quan Si had a smile on her face and looked very sincere.
But the more this happened, the more frightened Haitang was. She remembered that Mrs. Quan Si had such a smile when they persuaded Mrs. Gao together. She was not sure whether the death of Miss Zhongyi Houfu had anything to do with Mrs. Quan Si.
But she was certain that it was definitely not for Gao's good that Mrs. Quan Si tried so hard to persuade her.
Now that Mrs. Quan Si is talking to her again with such a smile, how can she not send a chill down Haitang's spine?
After reluctantly sitting down, Haitang asked unnaturally: "Fourth Mrs., I'm about to leave. The affairs of the tea house have been clearly explained... Oh, this is a small gift I made. It's not something valuable. Please keep it."
Just think about it."
Haitang said, hurriedly went into the house and brought out an exquisite jewelry box made of wattle to Mrs. Quan Si.
"Thank you, eh! This jewelry box is so exquisitely made. Haitang, you are such a clever girl." Mrs. Quan Si kept praising her after taking it.
Haitang smiled: "It's just a little thing I made in my spare time. It doesn't count. Many girls in the countryside can make it up. Fourth Madam, you come from a wealthy family. These country things can't be compared with those inlaid with gold and silver."
"Actually, I also lived in the countryside when I was a child." Mrs. Quan Si also smiled and sighed, "When life was the most difficult, I went to the mountains with my sisters to collect firewood and dig wild vegetables. But I was young and didn't understand anything.
