Die Wu sneered, "I confessed yesterday morning that these villagers were slandering me. It's true that my daughter fell into the water, and the people who rescued her were given jewelry as a thank you. But now that she's dead, they come to blackmail us. How can this be? Tell them to leave immediately, or I'll report to the police."
Lotus sneered, "Didn't the people of Hujia Village report it to the police?"
Die Wu shook her head. "The county government said they would investigate slowly, but the people of Hujia Village refused to accept that. They were afraid that the officials would protect each other, so they simply placed the body at the gate of the princess's villa and cried for a whole day."
Zhuang Gu touched her injured waist from the fall in Long En Temple and said bitterly, "When the young lady gets better, we will definitely have a good time with her. It is true that evil people will be punished by evil people, and the heaven has a good eye today."
Rendong told everyone not to tell anyone else and only those in Shaohua Garden should know about it.
Lotus asked in a low voice, "What if my cousin asks?"
"The young lady will tell her herself. We, the subordinates, should not pass on the words directly and scare the cousin."
That's true. My cousin is weak and fragile, not as brave as my young mistress.
Song Guanzhou's illness came like a mountain falling. She was in a daze, and her fever went down. When the news of this reached Xiao Yinxiu's room, she looked a few years older now, with a black spot on her right eye, which made her look even more terrifying.
"It would be better if he died! So that I wouldn't have to interfere..."
Xiao Yinxiu's emotions became increasingly unstable, and Shuangyue and Aunt Chu, the two people who served him closely, were the most unlucky.
The situation also affected the maids and servants below.
Complaining all day long.
It turned out that with the entry of Gao into the family and Pei Chen's promotion, Xiao Yinxiu had to restrain her ability as a mistress in front of this concubine Gao. In the past, all the concubines that Pei Chen took in had to come to her to set rules. But now Gao was different. She came to pay her respects in the morning. If she refused twice, Pei Chen would come to her house the next day and directly say that Gao was not in good health and would not pay her respects as the mistress in the future.
How can this be possible?
Xiao Yinxiu pointed at Pei Chen and was about to scold him, saying that this was not the rule in Dayu Mansion. How could it be reasonable to favor a concubine and neglect his wife?
Pei Chen sneered, "It is not the rule of the mansion to torture a concubine and not let her get up by kneeling for two hours at will."
The two of them were at loggerheads, and would start smashing things and swearing at each other whenever they disagreed.
After three or four times, both of them were exhausted. When Gao came to pay her respects again, Xiao Yinxiu could only turn a blind eye and let her go!
They said a lot of sarcastic things, and Pei Chen happened to hear it all. He turned around and came in, grabbed the man's hair and wrist, and the couple started fighting.
How could Aunt Chu, Shuangyue, and the two little maids be persuaded?
Without the persuasion of the Fourth Young Master's wife, the maids would have received only a few more punches and kicks from Pei Chen.
The whole room was filled with people crying for their parents. Xiao Yinxiu's eye was bruised by Pei Chen. Of course, Xiao Yinxiu was not much worse off. Pei Chen's face was covered with claw marks, blue, red, blue and purple, and she looked miserable as well.
Both husband and wife suffered losses. Pei Chen pointed at Xiao Yinxiu and called her a vicious woman.
Xiao Yinxiu cried and retorted, you ungrateful beast.
After this incident, both of them were humiliated and retreated to their rooms. Qi Yueniang came to look for Xiao Yinxiu three or five times but was not allowed to see him.
As for Pei Chen, with his scratched face, he could not go anywhere and could only stay in Gao's room. If he had time, he would ask his two brothers to ask about his homework. If he didn't have the leisure time, he would just play with Gao.
Compared to Xiao Yinxiu who was crying secretly, Pei Chen was much more relaxed and comfortable.
After the maids brought the letter that Song Guanzhou had been ill for several days, Xiao Yinxiu always felt that there was a crack in the gloomy sky, and the sun was shining down.
It made her feel very relieved.
Aunt Chu replied carefully, "It seems that the fever keeps coming back. Doctor Sun and Doctor Zhao have worked together to prescribe heavy medicine, but it doesn't seem to be stable. Sometimes it gets better at night, but it comes back during the day."
Xiao Yinxiu sneered, "There are many people who died of high fever, let's wait and see."
She felt more and more uncomfortable in this mansion now. "If the fourth son dies, he can marry a better one and save his aunt from worrying."
Oh my God, my lady, why are you still thinking about the useless old lady?
But Aunt Chu didn't dare to say much. From time to time, when she passed by the gate of Gao's courtyard, she heard constant teasing inside. She shook her head and looked at Shuangyue. Shuangyue felt even more sad, "Madam didn't agree to my marriage, and now I don't know what to do..."
"Take your time. Madam is having a hard time right now. I'll keep you for another year or two. Your age will allow you to do so."
Song Guanzhou's illness is really recurring.
It was more annoying than the time she fell into the water and was injured, or broke her legs, and the fever made her feel dazed and had no appetite. In just two or three days, she began to look thin.
Honeysuckle and the others were so anxious that they prayed to gods in private.
Pei An also took two days off and stayed in the room all day and all night. Qin Qingdong heard about it and invited the imperial physician to change the prescription. He also said, "You still have to feed him with decoction. Many medicines won't work if you roll them into pills."
Later on, if Song Guanzhou lost consciousness, Pei An would have to pry open Song Guanzhou's teeth and force him to drink medicine with tears in his eyes.
But I often vomit half of it...
Xu Lingqiao was even more anxious, and she often blamed herself, "I stay in Shaohua Garden every day, and I see how hard she works, but I don't know how to dissuade her, and I let her work day and night."
Speaking of this, Xu Lingqiao, who was always sensible and gentle, even wanted to reprimand Xiao Cang.
Xu Lingbai tried to comfort him, "It's okay. You can't persuade Guan Zhou to change his temper. I think this may not be a bad thing."
"Brother, isn't this a bad thing? If Guanzhou continues to burn, I'm afraid he will become stupid."
Xu Lingqiao became anxious, not caring that the person in front of him was his own elder brother, and angrily said, "It's also my fault, brother. You are a man, it's okay for you to work harder, but you still dragged Guanzhou to stay with you——"
Xu Lingbai didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Forget it, my dear sister. I know you are worried about Guan Zhou. I am too. But please sit down and listen to me slowly."
He comforted his sister and whispered, "I heard Doctor Zhao and Doctor Sun say that Guan Zhou was too worried and had been worrying for a long time. Now it is bursting out, causing internal and external injuries."
Xu Lingqiao nodded, "Of course I know that my cousin is smart and sharp. If I had encountered such an incident, I would probably never get over it in my lifetime, not to mention that my cousin was on the verge of life and death several times in just one year. How could an ordinary person bear it?"
Normally, I didn't pay much attention to it and thought that Song Guanzhou was just chatting and laughing, and had a relaxed mind, so he would definitely get over it soon.
Now, hearing her only mention Song Xinglu, I realized that her adoptive brother, whom she never mentioned before, was actually her deepest concern.
"elder brother……"
Another shout was heard. Song Xinglu stood on the top of the mountain, looking at the magnificent sea of clouds, his figure slightly stunned.
