The whole weird world is waiting for me to go to heaven

Chapter 281: Beauty Like a Flower

Chapter 281 Beauty Like a Flower (XVIII)
After sitting for a while with Liu Sheng and drinking two cups of tea, Xiaoxiao left with her maid.

"Fourth Lady, are you going to Miss Liu to learn again?"

As soon as she returned to the Lu family, Xiaoxiao went to the old lady's room and helped her massage her legs and shoulders. The old lady admired Xiaoxiao's unique technique and asked casually.

"Yes, Grandma, Sister Liu is very capable, and I am clumsy and cannot understand many things."

"If you can't understand, then learn more. I don't object to you getting close to Miss Liu. Her reputation as a miracle doctor is well-known far and wide. I heard that even nobles in the capital have inquired about her and wanted to invite her to the capital for medical treatment, but she is unwilling to do so. I don't know why in our small place." The old lady shook her head and sighed.

Xiaoxiao smiled deeply and replied, "Sister Liu is a person who is indifferent to fame and fortune. She was born and raised here, so she wants to give back to the local people, especially the poor people in Qingshui. She treats them for free..."

"Okay, let's stop talking about that." The old lady became unhappy when she heard about the dirty places in Qingshui and stopped talking.

She pressed her temples and looked extremely tired.

"Yes, grandma." Xiaoxiao calmed down and just massaged silently.

Aunt Zhang, the old lady serving the old lady, saw that the atmosphere was a bit awkward and said, "The fourth young lady is also filial. Because of the young lady's illness, she went to various clinics in the city to seek famous doctors, but those who were not brave enough said they dared not treat it. Only Miss Liu had the courage to come."

"Who would have thought, oh wow, it actually worked."

Aunt Zhang told the story so vividly that even the old lady laughed.

In Aunt Zhang's mouth, the old lady is still the unmarried lady, and she has never changed this way in most of her life.

The two of them had a special bond, so the old lady naturally took Zhang Ma's words very seriously.

"Yes, Miss Liu was only a teenager at that time, still a little girl, but she had such courage. Fusheng and Shousheng originally said that they would send her away as a liar." The old lady recalled the situation at that time and shook her head with a smile.

"Of course, it's also thanks to the young lady's keen eye that she can see that Miss Liu is extraordinary and is willing to employ her." Aunt Zhang said jokingly.

Xiaoxiao also nodded: "Grandmother is wise and brave, and has a good eye for people, and is willing to give Sister Liu a chance."

"You, little rascal, it was you who forced me to do that by saying you were willing to guarantee your life." The old lady tapped her little forehead and said with a smile.

"Fourth Lady dare not, it is still Grandmother who makes the decision. It is also God's will. May Grandmother live a long life."

Xiaoxiao spoke in a pleasant way, making the old lady and Aunt Zhang smile at each other.

Then Xiaoxiao took off her shoes and socks, knelt on the couch and gently pressed the old lady's temples.

The old lady closed her eyes and enjoyed it, sighing comfortably.

She can't live without Xiaoxiao now.

Although Xiaoxiao is not her biological granddaughter, she is well-behaved and obedient, and is willing to coax her and serve her. Who can not like her?
Besides, how could she let her own grandchildren, the spoiled young masters and young ladies, do these things to serve others?

"You said that your brothers and sisters would be half as troublesome as you."

The old lady had been resting her eyes, but she suddenly frowned as she thought of something.

The little, soft hand gently brushed the old lady's brow: "Grandma, don't frown, it will cause wrinkles."

"You are such a liar, my grandma's face is already full of wrinkles."

"Grandma doesn't look old at all. I'm not lying."

The old lady knew that Xiaoxiao's words were only words of comfort, but she couldn't help feeling a little happy.

Aunt Zhang also smiled: "The young lady does look young, perhaps because her children and grandchildren are filial and she doesn't worry too much."

"Ah, you come to scare me too, why aren't you worried?" The old lady sighed, "There's still no news from the eldest house..."

Halfway through her speech, Aunt Zhang coughed lightly.

The old lady saw Zhang Ma's eyes drifting towards Xiao Xiao behind her, and knew what Zhang Ma meant, so she didn't say anything else.

Xiaoxiao seemed not to hear anything and just concentrated on massaging the acupoints on the old lady's head.

The old lady liked this about her: she was smart, but she didn’t show off her intelligence.

This granddaughter was outstanding, smart and well-behaved, but she was not young anymore. The old lady thought of those dirty looks and thought it would not be good to keep her here any longer.

The old lady thought for a moment and said, "But, Si Niang, you should focus on your work from now on and stop running around."

Xiaoxiao didn't say anything, just waited quietly for the old lady's next words.

"You are old enough, so we can start arranging a marriage for you."

"Yes, grandmother."

When the old lady heard Xiao Xiao's obedient answer, her heart softened. She pulled her to her side and said, looking at her obedient appearance, "You must remember that grandma is doing this for your own good." "After you get married, you will have a husband to protect you and you will be spared a lot of trouble."

"You don't know how many evil things there are in this world." Seeing Xiao Xiao's confused face, the old lady emphasized, "Do you still remember the girl from the Wang family who played with you when you were a child?"

Xiaoxiao nodded: "Remember, Sister Jia."

"She didn't listen to her parents and had a secret meeting with a poor man, and ended up getting pregnant..."

"Grandma, what... should we do?" Xiaoxiao widened her eyes.

"What can we do? The man is unwilling to marry her, let alone marry into her family. The Wang family can only lock her up in a house in the countryside and send her to a nunnery after she gives birth to a child."

The old lady's small eyes opened wider, full of shock and confusion. When she looked deeper, she felt a hint of coldness, but it seemed like her illusion.

"Therefore, women should take good care of their bodies and keep themselves clean," the old lady said finally.

……

At night, Xiaoxiao accompanied the old lady to eat some porridge and waited until the old lady rested before leaving.

After returning to her room, Xiaoxiao glanced at the two maids sweeping the yard and asked, "No one has touched my room, right?"

"No, young lady, you have ordered that no one is allowed in." said a lively and quick-talking maid.

Xiao Xiao smiled gently: "Okay, I was making a longevity painting for my grandmother yesterday. If you go in, it will mess up my beads and embroidery thread. It will be bad."

"Miss, we absolutely dare not do that." The quick-talking maid spoke first.

The other maids also said they dared not.

The young lady looked gentle and kind, but somehow she made people inexplicably fearful and afraid to act rashly.

Xiaoxiao looked around before opening the door and going in.

As soon as I entered the room, I saw a huge embroidered table on the floor. On the table was a huge piece of red silk with a half-embroidered "Shou" character on it. There were a lot of beads and embroidery threads scattered around, making a mess on the floor.

Go further in and lift the curtain, and you will see her embroidered bed.

The body that had been lying on it was gone.

As if it was just her illusion.

Xiaoxiao slowly approached.

Under the layers of red gauze, the light red brocade quilt was spread out smoothly, as if it was brand new.

Xiaoxiao sat on the bed, gently stroking the surface of the quilt.

Thinking back to this morning, the body had become slightly stiff and was lying on her quilt, pressing the quilt down a little.

A thick blood color spread across the light red quilt. After a night, it darkened and solidified into a dark color, forming a circle of deep black pattern.

It’s a nice pattern.

But at this moment, all of this no longer exists.

Even the strong smell of blood in the air disappeared.

Xiaoxiao smiled gently and stroked the quilt.

Suddenly, the smile on his face froze, and his hands stiffened, as if he touched something.

She scratched it gently with her tender fingers.

A small hard piece, and some crumbs were picked off.

I raised my index finger and saw some black debris on the tip of my nail, which was as pink as a petal.

I put my nose close to it and smelled the familiar smell of blood.

Light and appetizing.

She lowered her head and took a closer look. On the aqua-red quilt, there was a dark, circular mark the size of a fingernail.

It's inconspicuous and can be completely ignored.
