Lan Mei took half a basin of water and gently approached the bed.

Chan is asleep.

Lan Mei didn't dare to disturb, and waited quietly with the water.

Chen slowly opened his eyes. She is already beautiful, and with proper maintenance, she has always been a graceful and luxurious lady. But in the past year, after experiencing a series of blows such as pregnancy and miscarriage of the child, she suddenly got a lot older, and she was too lazy to dress up, and slept on the pillow all day long, so that she exuded a bad smell. Lan Mei could only scrub her regularly, and constantly burned the green clay incense to suppress the unpleasant smell.

Lan Mei put the basin down, wrung out a wet towel, and gently approached it, wiping Chen's forehead.

Chen grabbed Lan Mei's hand, "What's going on over there?"

Lan Mei's hand was grabbed painfully, she didn't dare to resist, she just gently pumped it out, but she couldn't pull it out, so she didn't pull it out, and replied with low eyebrows: "I heard that I fell ill as soon as I came back, and now I am lying in the corner courtyard. ”

Chen groaned, "Sick, will you fall ill as soon as you come back?"

Lan Mei nodded: "The news is true, the slave maid specially sent the little girl to take a look, saying that she couldn't get out of bed, didn't eat tea and dinner, and was not lightly ill." ”

Chen let go of Lan Mei's hand, sat up slowly, leaned against the wall, his face was sallow, but his eyes were not gentle at all, on the contrary, he had a vicious look, "I'm so sick so strangely, I'll be sick as soon as I come back, and I still need to ask a doctor to see her?" Isn't she able to see a doctor herself, and she has cured so many women, but when it comes to herself, she can't be cured? It can't be some trick played by the little prostitute, right?"

She actually used outrageous words like "prostitute" to curse people. This is the first time this has ever happened. Lan Mei was stunned and stupid.

The eldest lady is a well-known virtuous lady, and she has always regarded herself as the lady of the main house of a large family, and she never walks half a step when she walks, and she never speaks with half a dirty word.

What's going on today?

Lan Mei tentatively explained: "What trick can she play, although she has grown a little taller and maturer in the past year, but in the eyes of the slave maid, after all, she is still too young, and she is a girl from a poor tenant's family, where can her mind escape from your eyes!"

Chen didn't appreciate Lan Mei's painstaking sycophancy, threw the wet towel into the basin, splashed a splash, and she slowly lay down: "Go to the bench room and call Mother Liu to me." ”

Bench room?!

Lan Mei couldn't help but tremble, her heart was cold, according to her experience in serving the eldest lady over the years, as long as she went to the bench room to call Liu's mother, it means that the eldest lady will definitely target someone again, and it is hot and poisonous.

This time, could it be her, the dumb aunt in the corner courtyard who fell ill just after she came back?

Mother Liu came soon, she entered the door in front, and Lan Mei closed the door from the outside very interestingly, not daring to eavesdrop at the door, and avoided the hut next to her.

Mother Liu stood beside Chen's pillow and looked at Chen's face.

Chen sighed and said, "You have to make another move." ”

Mother Liu raised her eyes, "There's no need, I was almost killed last year, and no one cared even if I died at that time, but I'm afraid it's not easy to start at the moment, the lord values her very much, after all, she is the one who has entered the palace to cure the five princes, and she has made a contribution to the Liu family, and even the lord has said it everywhere, but it's a pity that she is young, otherwise the court will seal a lady." ”

Chen Shi took a breath, "Do you want to watch her sit big, climb to a high place step by step, and then trample us under her feet?" I have a hunch, although this little woman is small, but her heart is not small, she is an ambitious person, one day she will take revenge, when the time comes, I really want to turn you and my old bottom up, so that the master knows, we still have hope of survival?"

Mother Liu chuckled lightly, "It won't be so exaggerated, how old is she! You and I have eaten more salt than she has eaten!"

Chen shook his head, "I told you not to be careless, why can't you listen to it? This person is really a bane, and he can't be left behind! And Liu Wan, you have also seen that his illness is completely cured! Don't you feel scared? Since she can be cured, it means that she has found the root of the disease, if one day she reveals the root cause of this disease and puts it in front of the master, do you still think that you can still live?"

Liu's mother's face twitched.

"Let's cut down the grass and eradicate it as soon as possible. lest one day it become a curse. As for how to do it, you can do it. I'm sick like this now, and to be honest, there are some things that I can't do. Three or five days at the latest, I want to hear good news from you. ”

After speaking, Chen closed his eyes and recuperated.

Mother Liu stood for a while, then turned around and went out.

"What did you do earlier? Do you want to quit now?"

In the corner courtyard, there was a dumb aunt lying upright in the bed bed, she was indeed sick, her face was pale and bloodless, her eyes were blank, and she looked sick.

Liu Wan paced underground, walked a few steps, and approached the pillow, "Stinky woman, what do you say you are sick, if you don't get sick, we can go outside to eat the famous dishes of Lingzhou Mansion, think about it, what kind of braised colorful phoenix, cold salad three-color silk, and dry pot eight-flavor pills, oops, that fragrant-oh-oh, and dry pot soft buns-"

He was going to be hungry for others, but he hooked out his own gluttony, and swallowed saliva slightly, "You get better quickly, I'll take you to eat!

The dumb girl on the embroidered soft satin pillow slowly opened her eyes, glanced at the unproductive boy, and said, "Bah, you go to die!"

Liu Wan glared angrily, and was about to return a tooth for a tooth, when Steward Liu walked in with a doctor.

"Why isn't it Dr. Xie?" Qian'er greeted her, "The little grandmother said, it must be Dr. Xie Yulin Xie who came, Dr. Xie gave the little grandmother a look at the illness last year, and he knows the condition of the little grandmother best." ”

Steward Liu smiled: "Doesn't the girl know that Xie Yulin has already become a monk!"

"Monk!" whispered the dumb girl in the curtains.

Steward Liu added: "This is something that everyone in Lingzhou Mansion knows. He had already left home. Our eldest wife is now inviting this Dr. Kim. ”

Qian'er was helpless, "Then please come in and take a look." ”

The dumb aunt herself was too lazy to move, let Qian'er toss, stretched out a hand from the curtain, took a handkerchief, and then asked the doctor to take the pulse.

Dr. Jin clasped his wrist for a while, shook his head and said a lot of half-incomprehensible words such as "loss of qi and blood" and "overwork", and then prescribed medicine, and finally was sent away by Steward Liu.

"Is the medicine still matched?

The dumb aunt poked her head out from behind the curtain: "Yes, why don't you match? And if you want to boil, go to the big kitchen to boil on the stove of decoction, sooner or later, it is best to make the whole house know that I am sick to death, and I rely on the decoction to hang this life." And, you can cry if you want, just when I'm really going to die, you're sad. ”

Qian'er was stunned, recalling the words of the little grandmother, nodded, and trotted.

In the evening, the large kitchen of Liufu was filled with the strong smell of traditional Chinese medicine.

The maids and servants who came to serve dinner in each courtyard and house were inevitably curious, and they all went to the stove to see which house owner was boiling the medicine.

Qian'er lowered her head and blew the fire, her eyes were blurred with tears by the smoke of firewood, she wiped her tears and sighed, "Alas, our little grandmother, for the illness of Brother Wan, ran out to seek the blessing of the gods of the Mother Tower, along the way, I have suffered a lot, my heart is broken, and now I am sick when I sit down, it seems that I can't get better, alas, I hope that the gods from all walks of life will bless us and make our little grandmother better." ”

When the maids and servants in the houses heard this, some nodded in sympathy, some were expressionless as if they hadn't heard, and some secretly laughed.

Lan Rui carried the rice plate and walked into the Shuanghe Garden with heavy steps, "Third aunt, she actually fell ill, I asked Dr. Jin to take a look, now I boil the medicine, look at the face of the girl next to her, she should be very sick, and the girl is crying into tears." ”

The third aunt's eyes were on fire: "I can't imagine that fate is so unfair, I finally look forward to her coming back, even if the fetus in my womb is gone, but I have to join forces with her to bring down that poisonous woman, I just die, and I can die safely - who knows that she herself is also sick-"

Lan Rui wept, "Then let's stay up again, when you're well, it's not too late for us to slowly try to take revenge." ”

The third aunt shook her head too much: "I'm afraid I can't get better, girl, you are still young, you don't know that we are women, this body is already delicate, I have a difficult birth, and I hurt the essence of the body again and again, plus excessive sadness and fear, I really feel that I can't do it, even if I don't accept it in my heart, I struggle here in one breath, but when I close my eyes, I know that I really can't do it - this body, just like the dead branches and leaves of the late autumn branches, more like the butterflies fluttering in the cold autumn wind that night......" Gasping for breath as he spoke, tears welled up in his good-looking eyes, "I really can't be the master myself-"

Looking at the third aunt's sudden appearance of decadence, it really seems that it is not good.

Lan Rui was shocked and frightened, and couldn't help crying.

After listening to the little girl's words, the sixth aunt was also startled, "Why is she sick?

"Listening to her maid Qian'er, it seems to be an incurable disease, and Qian'er is crying there!" the little girl added a scene she saw in the big kitchen.

The sixth aunt suddenly burst into tears, "This is so good, I was just happy for her to come back?"

Liu Mei beside her also had no idea, "She wasn't very strong, she was knocked unconscious by Liu Ying on a stone last year, and after waking up, she was dragged into the bench room by the eldest lady and beaten badly, and this year she took Wan'er and they ran outside for a whole year - mother, think about it, even the iron body can't bear it——"

Liu Shen ran into the door in a hurry, with a smile on his face: "I'll tell you a good news, that little mute from the tenant family, it is Liu Wan's child daughter-in-law, she is going to die, I heard that she has a disease that can't be cured! Hey, it's good that she dies early, everyone has a good morning!"

"Smack-" She received a slap in the face, and the slap was crisp and loud.

"Don't curse people to death with red mouths and white teeth!, and don't let you gloat like this!" the sixth aunt glared at her daughter.

Liu Shen almost blew up her lungs, when did her mother actually protect that little mute?!
