Chapter 22: Exploring the Pine Garden at Night
"Miss Second Miss!" Man Xi was really scared and knelt forward for two steps to hold Feng Yuheng's legs, but as soon as he lifted his hands, he remembered the onychomycosis on his ten fingers, and his hands froze in the air, neither rising nor falling.
Feng Yuheng turned against his previous attitude, suddenly held Man Xi's hands and lifted them in front of him.
"Miss Second Miss." Man Xi wanted to pull her hand back, but found that she couldn't pull it back at all.
"Don't move, let me see."
Man Xi was both ashamed and afraid. Her nails had been like this for more than half a year. In order to prevent others from discovering it, she had to get up in the middle of the night to apply konjac every day. During the day, she also chose some light work that was not touched by water, so she had been hiding it for so long. Now...
"Manxi." Feng Yuheng studied her nails, "Do you know what my grandfather did before?"
Man Xi was stunned and nodded subconsciously, "Listen, I heard." There was nothing in the entire Feng Mansion that didn't know about the Yao family.
"Well. I have been close to my grandfather since I was a child. I have read a lot of medical books and learned a lot of medical science. I was young and curious at that time, and I have searched many folk remedies and materials. If I say I can cure you onychomycosis, do you believe it?"
Manxi instantly petrified. Sometimes happiness comes too suddenly and easily cannot resist it. This girl opened her mouth wide, and her upper and lower lips opened and closed for a long time, but she didn't make any noise.
Feng Yuheng slapped her shoulders and then woke her up. Then Man Xi exclaimed: "Really?"
"Fake it." She threw the hands away and leaned back on the back of the chair. "Where did you say before? Oh yes, I'm going to report it to my mother and grandmother."
"Miss Second Miss!" Man Xi's heart suddenly went up and down, fell back into his stomach, and then rose to his throat, "Miss Second Miss, please spare me! Please help me, please help me!"
Feng Yuheng shook his head, "You are the first-class maid next to your mother. Even if you want to save your life, you have to ask your mother to save you. I am just an unpopular concubine. How can I save you?"
Man Xi is also a smart person. She understood Feng Yuheng's words. If she wants to save her status and life, she must recognize the situation in front of her. Although the eldest lady is the master, she is not a safe master. Even if she is a first-class maid, she will be punished from time to time. At the least, she will be deducted monthly rules and at the worst, she will be beaten by a stick. If she has a choice, no one wants to follow such a master. What's more, she has this kind of handle in Feng Yuheng's hands. If she doesn't express her attitude quickly, she will be kicked out of Feng's mansion tonight.
Thinking of this, Man Xi did not hesitate anymore, took two steps back and knelt again, and kowtowed seriously at Feng Yuheng: "The first reason is that I recognize my master is that I am assigned to the mansion and have no choice. The second reason is that I have kindness to myself, which is my own choice to be a slave. As long as the second lady can cure my onychomycosis, I am willing to obey the second lady with the order."
Very good. Feng Yuheng nodded, "Raise your head." She met Man Xi's eyes and looked at her.
Man Xi felt that the second lady's eyes were full of exploration, as if she wanted to see through people, even if her little bit of subtle thoughts could not escape the other person's eyes.
After a while, Feng Yuheng withdrew his gaze from inquiry, but asked Man Xi: "What else do you have to ask for? Let's talk about it together."
Yes, Man Xi still has something to do in her heart, she saw that when people lie and think, the contraction of their pupils will show a special frequency. The ability to learn from the officers in the Marine Force is not for nothing.
Manxi was also a happy person. After hearing her question, he spoke, "Please save my mother too."
"Your mother?" Feng Yuheng understood, "Your mother also gave birth to onychomycosis."
"Yes." Man Xi cried and said, "My mother's illness is worse than mine. It has been more than three years. Not only does she have it on her hands, but also on her feet. She was originally working in the mansion, but later she was discovered by the housekeeper when she got this strange disease and was driven out. Please save my mother too."
So that's it.
"I can help you treat onychomycosis, but this disease cannot be effective in a day or two."
"I understand." Man Xi wiped his tears, "In the future, the second lady just asks me to give me instructions. I will never show any flaws in front of others, and the news from the eldest lady will be conveyed in time.
What a joke, even if the second lady doesn’t treat her, she will find out her fault. Can she be disobedient?
"Okay." She signaled Manxi to get up, looked at her nails again, reached into her sleeve, and touched a small bottle of nail polish from the drawer of the pharmacy. "Come here, I'll help you fool these two days first. When I stabilize my foothold in Feng Mansion, I'll think about treating you."
It is a later story to treat the disease. Manxi felt that the thing that the second lady applied to her was much better than her konjac! The second lady also said that this thing is not afraid of water, and it can be maintained for at least seven days after applying it once, and the color is better than konjac. With this, she doesn't have to get up secretly in the middle of the night every day.
Therefore, people do not have to use money to buy them. If you want to conquer someone, the most important thing is to know what she needs most.
After applying the nail polish, Feng Yuheng called Madam Sun in and changed the water in the bathtub again. Manxi remembered that she had tried the water temperature with her hands before. Now the second lady is so cautious, she thought that this disease would be extraordinary. Manxi became more and more afraid of her strange disease, and she only hoped that her strange disease would recover as soon as possible.
Without letting Man Xi serve, Feng Yuheng took a bath by himself, leaving Man Xi to tell her the purpose of Shen sending the three of them over, as well as some secrets about Feng Mansion she knew.
As she expected, the Feng family really wanted to remove her halfway and exchange her position as the ninth prince's concubine to Feng Chenyu. Feng Jinyuan suddenly changed his mind this morning, which made Shen start to feel panic. But there was no breakthrough in Feng Jinyuan, so Shen could only supervise Liuyuan to ensure the interests of his daughter.
After taking a shower, Man Xi came over with a new set of clothes.
"This is sent by the servants of the mansion. Each of the three masters has a set of clothes. There is also a clothes for the underwear. It's too late, so the lady can just change into the clothes for Feng Yuheng to wear them." Man Xi said as she opened the clothes and prepared them to wear them for Feng Yuheng.
Feng Yuheng put on his inner clothes and went to see another gauze skirt. The water-red gauze looked good, but when he touched it, it was as hard as a blade and the material was as rough as sandpaper. It would be strange if such a skirt was worn on his body, the skin would not be worn out.
"Who brought the clothes?" she asked.
Man Xi replied: "It's Mama Li. I and Baotang are only required to serve the second lady in person. All these dealings with the Gongzhong are done by Mama Li." As he said that, he touched the gauze skirt and frowned, "Why are you so hard?"
"A old slave, even if it is Shen's wet nurse, she has no right to make a decision privately. It is obviously Shen who is mixing me with it."
Man Xi was worried: "What should I do? If I go to Gongzhong to pay additional expenses, I will definitely be discovered by the eldest lady."
She waved her hand, "It's okay, don't tell others first, I have my own idea about this."
Man Xi nodded, picked up an empty basin and poured out the used bath water.
Until this girl finished her tossing, Feng Yuheng finally had time to be alone.
Even though she has experience in survival for the 21st century, she has to admit that the amount of information she received on her day back to Feng Mansion was too large.
The complex interpersonal relationships and all kinds of so-called relatives in this mansion opened her eyes. Although she accepted Man Xi, the word "safety" is still far away from her. There is no such thing as "bright" in this kind of place. Except for the brainless Feng Fandai, everyone is a master of Yin people.
She believed that she was never afraid of open swords, but she had not practiced hidden arrows for many years.
It seems that she has to practice hard, but she still can't let go of something in her mind. Why did Feng Jinyuan suddenly change her mind?
His eyes looked out the window, and it seemed that when the night was late, he would have to stroll around the Feng Mansion.
The reason why I was able to visit Feng Mansion at night was really thankful to Feng Fandai for the old clothes she sent.
Although most of the clothes I had been short a few years ago, fortunately, I didn’t eat well in the mountain villages in the past few years and couldn’t keep up with the nutrition. This small body didn’t look too obvious, so I could still wear it if I made up my mind. It was better than the sandpaper-like skirt. She was even less willing to put on the dirty clothes she wore during the day just after taking a shower.
Feng Yuheng decided to wear the old clothes in the mansion tomorrow, and she couldn't always let others come to her to make things difficult for her. She had to take the initiative and find some unhappiness for those who were idle and had nothing to do.
At midnight, a thin figure floated out of the Liuyuan in a few moments.
With the memory of the day, I followed the original road and first came back to the main hall set up in the Mudan Courtyard.
In the late night, Feng Mansion lost the hustle and bustle of the day. Apart from the rustle of the cool breeze blowing through the branches and leaves in the late summer, it was deserted everywhere.
Her target was Feng Jinyuan's study, but she was not familiar with Feng's mansion. In addition, she was short in calves and finally touched the study, and she was so tired that she was panting. Feng Yuheng immediately decided to put the matter of physical exercise on the agenda.
Feng Jinyuan's study is located in Songyuan. This garden is worthy of its name, with a faint rosin scattered everywhere. After learning about Feng Jinyuan's character, he felt that he was not worthy of pine. After planting pine trees all over the garden, he did not see any improvement in his style, so that the rosin was contaminated with lust.
When Feng Yuheng entered the yard, she faintly saw the candlelights in the building surrounded by pine and cypresses, and people swayed from time to time, and she knew that she was the right bet.
It was early to predict that Feng Jinyuan would not go to bed early tonight. What happened during the day was extremely sudden. The authenticity of the whispering thing needed further investigation. This time, it would definitely not be too early to get the news.
If you didn't dare to walk into the yard easily, it would be impossible for the wealthy family to have no defense at all. It would be absolutely wise to enter rashly.
The weather is changing at the end of summer, and suddenly dark clouds cover the moon. Feng Yuheng hides behind a rockery through the night.
Looking around, apart from dwarf pine, there are also many tall cypresses.
