Chapter 30 (2/2)
The daughter-in-law smiled: “When the servant heard that the master was coming back, she was so happy that she had forgotten everything, so she wanted to hurry up to announce the good news to his wife. The servant is still waiting at the second door. Should the servant ask him to come in?”
Mu s.h.i.+ waved her hand quickly: “Go, go!”
The daughter-in-law ran out in a hurry, everyone in the room smiled and said, “Congratulations, madam, congratulations! Master returned home in triumph, he must have been promoted again!”
Mu s.h.i.+ couldn’t hide her pride, and her face with bruises and wounds glowed: “It’s good for the master to come back, and it’s a great blessing to come back safely!”
When General Yu left three years ago, the Yu Mansion was supported by Mu s.h.i.+ all by herself. It really was not easy. Now that the pillar of the family is back, Mu s.h.i.+ was naturally overjoyed.
During the conversation, the wife from the second door had brought in the young man, who was also a servant of the Yu Mansion. Three years ago, General Yu took him as a personal servant. This time General Yu wanted to come back and sent him to report the news.
The little servant, covered in dust, entered the room and knelt on the ground, “Little w.a.n.g Yong is paying respects to the lady.”
When Mu s.h.i.+ saw that the little servant was the same one as before, she was very relieved, and asked hurriedly: “Where is the master now? How did you withdraw the troops half a year earlier? How is the master’s body?”
Faced with Mu s.h.i.+’s continual cannonb.a.l.l.s of questions, w.a.n.g Yong smiled and replied: “Madam, don’t worry, the master is in good health. This time master has put down the Northern Xinjiang rebellion, so the emperor permitted him to return earlier. The master has already brought troops there to Shaomen Pa.s.s. He can get to the capital in three or four days.”
Only then did Mu s.h.i.+ feel a little relieved, and a smile appeared on her face. She heard w.a.n.g Yong say again: “There is another thing to tell Madam. The house servant sent by Madam to deliver the letter to the master happened to meet the master’s army at Shaomen Pa.s.s. He gave the letter to master, and he heard Sixth Sister was poisoned, and immediately ordered me to send back the antidote he had brought from northern Xinjiang.”
When Mu s.h.i.+ heard that, her eyes lit up. Yu Qianjiao’s injury hadn’t healed. This had always been a major concern for her. Now that she heard that General Yu brought back the antidote from northern Xinjiang, she immediately said with anxiety: “Hurry up.”
w.a.n.g Yong took out a red sandalwood box and said: “The master is afraid of delaying Sixth Sister’s injury, so I rushed back quickly. This is a unique medicine for poison from northern Xinjiang, especially for snake venom and insect bites.”
Mu s.h.i.+ was overjoyed: “Great! Go down and receive a reward. Someone come here, give him a good t.i.tle!”
Then he handed the medicine to Mama Cui: “Hurry up and send it to Qianjiao, the sooner the better!”
After giving orders, Mu s.h.i.+ saw w.a.n.g Yong still kneeling on the ground, and couldn’t help being a little surprised: “Why don’t you go to receive the reward?”
w.a.n.g Yong lowered his head, looking hesitant to say something: “…Master has a message, let me bring it to his wife.”
Mu s.h.i.+ was immersed in the joy of Yu Qianjiao’s salvation and did not notice w.a.n.g Yong’s hesitation. She took the tea served by Shuangtao and said, “What else is there, let’s talk about it.”
w.a.n.g Yong looked awkwardly at the maidservants in the room. Seeing that Mu s.h.i.+ had no intention of evading the issue, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and say: “Master said, please clean up a neat and tidy courtyard.”
Mu’s raised his eyebrows suspiciously: “What? Is the master bringing guests? Where are the guests from?”
w.a.n.g Yong lowered his head, not daring to look at Mu s.h.i.+’s face: “It’s not a guest, it’s… the concubine brought back by the master from northern Xinjiang…”
Suddenly, the teacup in Mu s.h.i.+’s hand fell to the ground, cracking. Mu s.h.i.+ was staring at w.a.n.g Yong, full of disbelief: “What are you talking about? What concubine!?”
