Chapter 397: Seeing Each Other and Settling the Issue
Fuhetang was the courtyard of Old Lady Guo, which was quite far away. Si He brought Hongdou and followed the maid for a long distance before they got there.
At this time, there were only female members in Fuhe Hall. In addition to Mrs. Guo, there were three other wives of the Guo family and five girls who had reached the age of marriage. Their appearances were different, some were pretty and some were ordinary.
However, their expressions were complicated, even a little nervous, but when they saw Si He's arrival, they seemed relieved.
After Si He walked into the room, she secretly looked at their expressions and it seemed that something bad was going to happen.
Si He calmly bowed to Madam Guo, and then she said, "Qu Jie'er, you will go out with Ping Jie'er and the others later. The Guo family has raised you so well, and it's time to repay them. Remember to abide by the rules and follow the arrangements of the eldest lady when you are away from home."
Hearing this, Si He was quite surprised. She had expected the old lady to make things difficult for her, but she had never expected that she would actually let her go out with the girl from the Guo family?!
This is simply unbelievable!
Moreover, this is definitely not as simple as just looking at each other!
Thinking back to what suddenly happened to the Guo family the day before yesterday, Si He seemed to have roughly guessed what happened.
If it was really as she guessed, this was not a meeting at all, it was simply giving the girl away.
It seems that it is difficult to deal with the person that the Fifth Young Master offended.
Hongdou, who was standing behind Si He, became a little excited and trembled slightly when she heard the old lady's voice. However, she still remembered what Si He had said before, so she tried hard to restrain herself.
Because she lowered her head and stood relatively far back, and everyone's attention was on Si He, only a few maids waiting not far away noticed her abnormality, and they just thought she was feeling unwell.
At this time, Si He also keenly felt the surge of Yin energy in Hongdou's body. Seeing that Mrs. Guo was waiting for her reply, she obeyed without asking any more questions.
Seeing how obedient she was, Mrs. Guo was very satisfied. Her expression improved a little and she no longer found fault with or scolded her like she did yesterday. She also briefly introduced several ladies and girls to her.
Then the maid brought in several sets of beautiful clothes and jewelry, which were prepared for the meeting. In short, they were to make her dress more decently.
Seeing that Hongdou was indifferent, Bizhu, who was standing by, had no choice but to step forward silently and take the tray containing clothes and jewelry.
After that, Mrs. Guo reminded them impatiently, and the old lady didn't say anything more. She asked them to leave first, dress up as soon as possible, and go out in the afternoon.
Seeing her obedient agreement, the girls from the Guo family couldn't help but look complicated, and had no choice but to return to their own courtyards.
On the way back to the yard, 'Hongdou' followed Si He closely with her head lowered. Although she had calmed down at this time, her dull appearance still made her look different from that of an ordinary maid.
After Bilian and Bizhu noticed something was wrong with Hongdou, they immediately kept their distance from her, trying to stay as far away from her as possible.
However, although they pretended to be calm, their expressions still revealed panic.
Si He naturally noticed the change in their expressions, but pretended not to know.
Ever since the remnant soul took over Hongdou's body, he had expected such a situation to occur, and he didn't really expect it to hide the truth. After all, the yard was filled with yin energy, and it was normal for people with weak fate to have health problems if they lived there. Even if someone discovered that Hongdou was abnormal, they wouldn't be too surprised.
Originally, she wanted to use this incident to do something, but something unexpected happened today, causing her to change her plans.
On the way back to Qingyinyuan, everyone had different thoughts.
At Fuhe Hall, Madam Guo San finally spoke up: "Mother, I just noticed that the maidservant beside Sister Qu seemed to be in a strange state. How about we move Sister Qu to another courtyard? After all, Sister Qu is still useful. If something happens to her, it would be more trouble than good."
Madam Guo frowned slightly upon hearing this. Qingyinyuan had had its problems before, but after being cleansed by the sorcerer, nothing was left of it. The place simply had a heavier yin energy. While the reason Qu Jie'er was arranged to live there was to suppress and hone her, so she could be better controlled, she certainly didn't intend to harm her.
Just now, when I heard that there was something wrong with the maidservant beside Qu Jie'er, I couldn't help but feel a little surprised, "Is that maidservant's fate so weak?"
You've only been here for two nights and you're already feeling unwell?
The wizard had indeed said before that people with weak destiny should not live in Qingyinyuan, but Sister Qu's destiny is not weak, and she has been in Qingmu City for so many years without any problems, and the maid is also alive and well. How could it be so shortly that she has developed health problems?
Mrs. Guo asked again: "Did you see it wrongly?"
She really didn't pay attention to the maid just now.
Madam Guo San said, "I originally thought I was mistaken, but after observing her carefully for a while, I felt that there was indeed something wrong with the maid's condition. She was like... like the maids who had gotten into trouble before."
Mrs. Guo's brows furrowed even tighter, and she looked at the others, "Big Boss's wife, what are you guys thinking?"
Madam Guo's face was slightly grim. She didn't like this illegitimate son, Guo Jiaqu. After all, Guo Jiaqu almost harmed Yue Jie'er, and she was also that bitch's daughter. But in this situation, Guo Jiaqu was indeed useful. With his extraordinary appearance, there was hope that he could rescue her son. She thought for a moment and said, "Mother, let's talk about it when we get back this afternoon. If Young Master Yang sees Sister Qu and agrees to let Feng go, we can naturally find her a new place to live. We don't need to waste half a day. As for that maid, tell her not to follow us. If she really feels 'unwell', we can deal with her."
A little maid, not worth mentioning.
If Guo Jiaqu can make this happen, that would be great. If he fails, he will have to stay in that yard forever!
Mrs. Guo listened to her words and nodded thoughtfully, "Old Master's wife, please pay more attention when the time comes. Make sure this matter is done and rescue Brother Feng."
"Of course." Mrs. Guo Li nodded seriously. Since it was related to her son, she would definitely do her best to make it happen.
Madam Guo added, "Old Third Wife, please go and invite Master Yunguang over later. Remember, be low-key and don't make a fuss."
Although the mage had said before that all the dirt in Qingyin Courtyard had been eliminated and that the yin energy was just a little heavier, now that there was another maidservant acting strangely, it would be more reassuring to ask the mage to come and take a look.
Mrs. Guo San nodded in agreement.
Mrs. He, the second wife of Guo, remained silent. The old lady glanced at her and said, "Second wife, when the time comes, you should go out with the eldest wife and help out."
Mrs. Guo was very reluctant. She really didn't want to get involved. If something happened in the eldest wife's family, and she had to pick out some concubines to settle the matter, it would be a huge loss. But since the old lady had spoken, she couldn't refuse and could only obey.
