After leaving the Qi Shen's residence, Qi Liang no longer had a reason to pester Hua Ru as before. "Sister-in-law, thank you so much today, otherwise I wouldn't know where to go to make up for the money."
"I've said it before, no need to be so polite." Hua Ru Chu wiped her forehead with a handkerchief, looking for non-existent sweat, and said: "I haven't been feeling well these past two days, Third Brother, I'll just head back to my room first, and then I still have to go see Green Aunt."
Qiliang couldn't help but express his concern, "Eldest sister should still pay more attention to her own body, others are not as important as one's own body. Green willow aunt is a careful person, eldest sister should be more mindful of this. Although I'm useless, after all, I've been in the mansion for so many years. If eldest sister has anything she wants to know or any matters she wants to handle, just send someone to inform me and I'll do my best."
Hua Ru's face was filled with emotion, "Third brother is really a considerate person. If there's anything that needs help in the future, sister-in-law will come to find you. With that, sister-in-law will take her leave first."
Without getting a single "come visit me sometime", Qi Liang was somewhat unwilling, but he also knew not to be too pushy. He bowed and said, "Sister-in-law, you go first."
Wei Wei smiled faintly and slowly withdrew her hand from Yun Shu's, her exhaustion evident even from the back.
In order to keep the wall from having ears, they would never discuss anything outside, and as soon as she stepped out of the door, Hua Ruochu became that gentle, elegant, and temperate young mistress.
It was just that among the four of Chunyu, Xiaoyan, Qiu Jing and Dong Fei who were in the house, one of them would definitely be guarding outside. This was a habit they had formed on their own after arriving at the Qi manor.
After taking a sip of hot tea, Hua Ru felt like she had finally returned to her own territory. At Qi Shen's place, she had forced herself to drink half a cup of sweet-tasting brick tea, each mouthful reminding her that she was on someone else's turf.
Yun Shu placed the pastries held by Chun Yu on the tea table beside Miss, and asked out of curiosity, "Miss, didn't the aunt in the palace say that when giving things to people, they must not be given mouth-to-mouth? If someone tampered with the medicine, wouldn't it become our trouble?"
"I understand this principle, other things that need to be taken in are naturally not easy to deliver, but this An Tai Yao is different, have you forgotten where this medicine came from? Besides, I also said let her ask the doctor to check before taking it, don't worry, if the doctor doesn't check, she won't take it."
It turns out that Yun Shu was the one who had obtained this medicine from the other side of the ocean, and it was precisely because Miss You liked to search for things that she would notice those inconspicuous objects. She bought a small amount back and asked several familiar doctors to identify them, then bought everything at a low price and sold it in the Linlang Pavilion.
It's hard for them to get rid of this thing even if they want to.
If the Qi Shen family knew the price they had paid for the goods at first, they probably wouldn't be so grateful to Miss, Yun Shu thought.
After eating some pastries, Hua Ruochu went to Green Willow's place.
Zhi Ruo saw her hastily curtsy and said, "I've seen the young mistress."
"How's Green Aunt doing? Has she woken up?" As he spoke, Hua Ruochu lifted the curtain and entered the room, not surprised to find that the person on the bed was still motionless.
Zhi glanced at Mrs. Dai secretly and replied, "Auntie was dazed for a while after waking up, but now she's fallen asleep again. I'll go wake her up."
"This will not be used to guard those rules, sleep and don't suffer, let her sleep. Has the temperature dropped? What did the doctor say?" He reached out and touched Qing Liu's forehead, still higher than normal body temperature.
"Going back to what Mrs. Hui said, her body temperature had originally dropped a bit in the morning, but it's risen again now. The doctor says that Green Aunt has caught a chill and needs to be taken care of properly, and we need to frequently change cold compresses for her to bring down the fever."
"Where's the medicine? Has it been taken?"
"I've already eaten, I just had breakfast, and this little girl is cooking again, we have to eat three meals a day."
Yun Shu handed the handkerchief to the young lady, Hua Ru Chu took it and spread it open on her forehead, not missing the rolling eyeballs under Green Willow's closed eyelids.
"You all must be careful and serve well, don't make me worry, and also don't make your husband worry."
"Yes, this servant obeys."
"If there's anything, remember to let me know in time. However, you should know that it's not good to disturb the husband's side again, as it's a matter of life and death. Today, the old master and mistress were very unhappy when they heard about last night's incident. If it weren't for your loyalty to the master, they would have disciplined you by now. This can never happen again."
"The young lady did indeed help you this time, but it got her into trouble with the elderly madam and the big madam, who said she didn't know how to discipline people..."
"Cloud Book."
Yun Shu stopped talking with a look of discontent on his face, and his eyes turned to Zhi Ruo and Lü Liu were absolutely not good. Did Zhi Ruo know that she was supposed to protect her master?
At this moment, she was covered in cold sweat, not because of Yun Shu's unfriendly attitude, but because she realized how reckless and wrong she had been. Why hadn't she thought it through at the time?
No matter how much trouble the housewives cause, the old master won't intervene, but if they disturb the young master, even if they are beaten to death and thrown out, the old master won't bat an eyelid.
She forgot that although Lao Taiye is now a toothless tiger, he was once a general who held military power and led troops in battle.
"Slave thanks young madam for maintenance."
"In the future, not making such mistakes again would be the best thank you gift to me." Hua Ru Chu got up and said, "Get up, don't kneel anymore, Yun Shu. Later, go to the Qi Guan family's place and ask Green Auntie for some tonics."
"Miss..."
"It's settled, no matter what, nothing is more important than good health. If Green Lady can't serve Husband anymore, wouldn't I have to raise another concubine? You know, take good care of yourself, if you need anything, come find me, my body isn't feeling too great, so I'll head back first."
"Yes, I will send for the young mistress."
"No need, just stay here and serve, don't let the temperature rise again."
"Yes."
Standing at the door, Hua Ru saw that all the people had left, and Zhi Ruo returned to report in a low voice: "Master, they're gone."
Green willow opened her eyes, and due to the fever, her eyes looked even more spirited. Her face was flushed with a reddish glow, as if she had applied rouge. What a delicate and charming woman she was, like a gentle stream of water. Unfortunately, this beauty was not seen by the person she wanted to see it.
"Help me up." Green willow opened her hoarse voice, the first time she woke up was dizzy, after taking medicine and falling asleep again, this time she just woke up and heard the voices of people asking for peace outside, her newly opened eyes quickly closed again to pretend to sleep.
Leaning against the headboard and drinking half a bowl of warm water, Green Willow felt a bit more comfortable. "Tell me in detail what happened after I fainted, did the young master come?"
"He came when you fainted last night and went out early this morning to attend to his duties. He hasn't returned to the mansion yet."
She cast a sideways glance at the green willow, nonsense, she of course knew that this would be impossible to come, the young master rarely returned to the inner house during the day, even if he did return, most of the time was spent in the study dealing with matters, it was extremely rare for him to come to her place for lunch that noon, it was precisely because of what happened that day that she was certain the young master had her in his heart, it must be so, otherwise why would he have come to her place at that time.
So this fight is worth it.
If she were to recount in detail all that had happened during this period of time, then she would also take the opportunity to sort out the information thoroughly.
The two people in the house have the same goal but different thoughts and are destined not to be on the same boat.
