Chapter 918 Chapter 918
Aunt Chu felt depressed, but she still had to do something.
In the afternoon, Shuangyue came out to look for her and saw that she was still coughing as if she had been possessed by a ghost. She was hunched over, stroking her chest, her face flushed, and she was almost out of breath.
"Aunt, why is it still not okay?"
Shuangyue went to the table to find a teacup and prepared to pour her some hot tea, but when she picked up the teapot, it felt very cold.
"Auntie, there's no hot water either?"
Aunt Chu finally calmed down. The sound of the bellows made her chest ache. "It's okay. You'll be waiting in the yard during the day. You don't have to come back to my room if you want to have some hot tea."
"...Aunt, you should go out and ask a doctor to take a look. You've been coughing for more than half a month."
Aunt Chu shook her head. "It's okay. I'm old now. It's always like this in winter. I'll be fine after a few days."
Frost Moon felt sorry when she saw this.
"Aunt, you are already this age, you should be more open-minded than me. You always advised me in the past, but I don't understand why it happened to me now."
Aunt Chu sat hunched in the room. The back room was dark and damp, just like a dead place. After a long time, Aunt Chu raised her head and smiled reluctantly, "It's okay. I'm just a servant. I'll do whatever the madam tells me to do."
"That Doctor Zhang is not a human being. He didn't even send a message to you, Auntie, when he left this time."
Aunt Chu felt even more uncomfortable after hearing this.
Yes, at her age, it would have been fine if she had just lost face, but no one would know that the bastard had coaxed ten taels of silver from her and left.
She gnashed out her teeth and swallowed the blood, not daring to tell anyone.
It was because before the old man ran away, he came to her to be affectionate, pretending that he wanted to borrow money to get rid of the old woman from his hometown, but in fact he just wanted to make a final profit and then ran away without a trace.
Frost Moon tried to comfort her, but Aunt Chu shook her head and said, "Don't mention him again. It's just a deal. Unfortunately, the old lady is still in a difficult situation. This plot is in vain."
Princess Ming returned, but to no avail.
"Aunt, Madam asked you to come over to discuss this matter."
Ok?
Aunt Chu looked up, and there was no longer surprise and joy in her eyes, only a flash of fear. What else did she want her to do?
Shuang Yue came closer and whispered, "It seems that Fang Ya'er went to the Crown Prince's wife and said something. The wife sent Fang Ya'er away and sent me to invite you. Let's go, don't delay."
Fang Yaer?
"She might complain to Madam, saying that I wouldn't let her stay in the study and have fun."
"No!"
Shuang Yue smiled and said, "You will know when you go there, aunt."
When she got to Xiao Yinxiu, Aunt Chu didn't dare to move forward. Xiao Yinxiu looked at Aunt Chu standing behind the screen, refusing to come over, and snorted, "Why, do you dislike the smell in my room?"
Aunt Chu was extremely terrified and quickly bowed and smiled apologetically, "Madam, what you said is really embarrassing for me."
"Then come over and talk!"
Seeing her sallow face, Xiao Yinxiu thought of what he wanted to remind her and swallowed his words of rebuke and complaint.
After hearing this, Aunt Chu didn't dare to take another step.
Seeing that Xiao Yinxiu was angry, Aunt Chu said, "Madam, you have only been well for a few days. I have been coughing for days, please don't let it infect you."
"Not good yet?"
Xiao Yinxiu frowned and asked with a cold face. Aunt Chu was about to give a proper reply, but suddenly she felt an itchy sensation in her chest and throat. She quickly turned her back and started coughing while covering her mouth.
So serious?
Xiao Yinxiu looked at her coughing and almost vomiting blood, then turned to look at Shuangyue, "Didn't you take any medicine?"
Shuang Yue paused, knelt down and replied, "I heard from my aunt that it is eaten every day, but it is not very useful."
It took Aunt Chu some effort to hold back her cough.
Turning to apologize to Xiao Yinxiu, Xiao Yinxiu waved her hand and said, "Go see the doctor. My room needs my aunt the most."
After giving a few casual instructions, he finally got to the important point, "You two will go to the Prince's Mansion to pay your respects to your elder sister."
Aunt Chu suddenly looked up and said, "Madam, are I and Shuangyue going?"
"You and Yaer."
what?
Aunt Chu was shocked but dared not say anything. She was about to agree but Xiao Yinxiu waved at her, "Come over here and I will tell you."
When they got closer, Xiao Yinxiu said briefly, "The marriage of the two sisters of my eldest sister's family is not going smoothly. I heard yesterday that my eldest sister might have to leave with the prince to return to southern Yunnan before the New Year."
When Aunt Chu heard this, even though she was indifferent to worldly affairs, she was surprised.
"Princess of the County...are you going back now?"
Xiao Yinxiu nodded, "You also find it incredible. When I heard it, I just felt a headache. The capital has been restless these days. The trouble caused by the fourth elder's family, I heard that the eldest sister went back and was reprimanded by the prince."
"This... How can the Princess be so innocent?"
"Humph!"
Xiao Yinxiu sighed, "That's right, but if my eldest sister goes back like this, it will be impossible for the old lady to see the light of day again."
"But--"
Aunt Chu whispered, "The princess begged the master, but he was cruel and would never allow it."
"That's why I asked you to come. Go to my house and cry to my elder sister. If the princess really wants to leave, tell her that if we don't see each other, we may never see each other again in this life. The princess is a smart person. After hearing this, she will definitely have a plan."
Aunt Chu was stunned for a while before she said, "Madam, did Miss Yaer tell you about this?"
Xiao Yinxiu nodded slowly, "She used to serve the eldest sister, and she said that the eldest sister was devoted to supporting the brothers and sisters in the mansion, and was even more concerned about her parents."
"Madam, let Miss Ya'er go back with you. If you say anything bad about the mansion or this house—"
"Humph!"
Xiao Yinxiu sneered, "Don't worry, she's just a maid who served the prince. What's so strange about her? If she has the ability to make my elder sister keep her, I'd be happy to send her away."
It would be much better to have one less person in the prince's room, and there would be no more eyesores, so why wouldn't Xiao Yinxiu do it?
such a pity!
Pei Qiuyun must be disgusted!
Fang Yaer didn't dare to have this intention and go back to the Princess Consort, but she couldn't bear the hardship and couldn't stand being humiliated. After thinking about it, she decided that she had to serve Xiao Yinxiu well. If the lady felt relieved, it wouldn't be difficult to allow her to live a leisurely and comfortable life.
After two consecutive days of diligent service, I finally had the chance today to talk to Xiao Yinxiu about everything.
As expected, upon hearing that the Princess was leaving the capital, Xiao Yinxiu's expression suddenly changed, "Didn't she say she would leave after the New Year?"
Fang Yaer lowered herself to measure the size of Xiao Yinxiu's feet, "It seems that regarding the girls' marriage, the prince has other plans. This is what my mother said the day before yesterday."
"Why don't you come to my room when your mother comes to your house?"
Fang Yaer quickly shook her head, "I'm outside the mansion, and I saw Yu Nu once. After this separation, it will be difficult for me to see you again."
