Mammy Tang held the little bloody hand and shouted, “How did you hurt? Where are the sharp thorns from?”He Danggui wiped the teardrop at the corner of her eyes with her another hand and shook her head without speaking. Mammy Tang was so anxious. Suddenly, she remembered that Third Miss was very fond of the gauze coat with magnolia flowers. Could it be that... Thinking of this, Mammy Tang suddenly grabbed the gauze coat on the table and shook it. Then, dozens of fine thorns were shaken on the table. Mammy Tang’s face turned pale. She said in a low voice, “What kind of thorns are these? Why are there many thorns in the coat?”He Danggui raised her injured hand to her eyes and checked. Then she said, “These thorns are tough and have fine white hair on the tip. If I am not mistaken, they should be thorns of the Xifan cactus.”“The Xifan cactus?” Mammy Tang remembered that she had seen this kind of plant with thorns in Second Miss’s y

He Danggui explained to her patiently, “Once they eat something bad, even if they just have diarrhea for one or two days, it will be very difficult for our family to explain to other big families. After all, those Misses and Childes are treasures of their own families. Even when they sneeze or lose some hairs, their elders would be sad for they couldn’t replace them to suffer the pain. If they catch any disease in East Yard, even though everyone knows that it is an accident, no one will forgive us! Mammy Tang, do you remember that half a year ago, the Second Sister came back to her grandpa’s family, Sun’s Family, for a few days but got a headache after catching a cold because she fell into the water while boating on the lake. Although Sun’s Family is Second Aunt’s natal family, and Second Aunt has a good relation with them, she still got mad about this and aggressively came to Ms. Wang who is in charge of Sun’s Family to ask for an explanation.”Mammy Tang nodded and sa

Mammy Tang had been the closest maid of Madam Luo since she was 12 years old. When she was 19 years old, she came into Luo’s Family together with Madam Luo who was at the age of 15. She never married in her life and was loyal to Luo’s Family. The rule that servants should keep distance with masters was very essential for her. She hated the servants who betrayed their masters, so she never bitched about people of Luo’s Family.Fourth Miss, Luo Baishao, was the biological granddaughter of Madam Luo. Mammy Tang wouldn’t bitch about her in general. Although He Danggui said that Fourth Miss sprinkled itching powder on her chest “negligently”, Mammy Tang wouldn’t judge whether it was right or wrong. Mammy Tang recognized that Fourth Miss had made a mistake since that was a handful of poison but not soil. It was impossible for a person to walk on the road with poisons, and then sprinkled the poison on others by mistake. However, to protect Fourth Miss’s reputation from being d

He Danggui wiped tears and shook her head, “Well, I don’t know. I just heard Su Mei Yard belonged to the first wife of Third Uncle. After she passed away, Third Uncle planned to lock it. Because it would be Second Brother’s study when he grows up. However, the whole family of Third Uncle went to the north for business, so Su Mei Yard was empty. I don’t know when Second Sister settled into Su Mei Yard. I just heard from my maids that almost 10 maids and mammies coming from West Lateral court went to Su Mei Yard to work. And they also said Second Sister is fond of the flowers in Su Mei Yard, so she begged Second Aunt for the key of the Yard.”Mammy Tang said nothing but signed, “Alas, Second Miss is doted on by her mother! But I believe Second Mistress Luo can distinctly keep separate between public and private. She knows it fairly well that what she can touch and what she can’t. It’s impossible for her to settle into Su Mei Yard without saying a word to the Third Brunch.

Liao Zhiyuan thought it over and enjoined uneasily, “Gao, my sister is clever and lively. Although she doesn’t know Kungfu, she has a lot of spooky ideas, speaks strangely and behaves very differently from all women. I can’t tell you her situation clearly in a few words. But after you find her, you must seal her Daxue acupoint and mute acupoint first. She won’t be able to escape in this way! Sometimes she will talk nonsense. Don’t believe a word of hers; sometimes she will say that she is not my sister. Don’t buy that, either. I saw her born with my own eyes, and she is my sib sister indeed!”Gao Jue frowned and reluctantly nodded. He thought, “What a troublesome woman. Given this situation, I’ll bring a burlap, and then knock her out and put her in it when I find her.”Liao Zhiyuan continued, “My sister is 16-year-old. So, when you…hold her into the carriage, you must be careful… The only way you can hold her to the carriage is on her arms, like this.” Lia
