Late at night, Zhu Yuenuan lay on the bed, her hands on her head, but she didn't feel sleepy, and her eyes always fell on the dark window.
Outside the window, the wind whistled through the treetops.
It seems that there are still footsteps in the kitchen.
Zhu Yuenuan tilted her head sideways, her lips pursed tightly.
She still didn't go back to Zhu's house because of Yuecha's obstruction, and because she saw Li Yuniang sitting alone in the hall.
"Knock knock~" There was a knock on the door, and then Yuecha's voice sounded: "Miss." ”
Zhu Yuenuan heard the voice, sat up suddenly, and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
"Miss, the hand-rolled noodles made by Madame, you haven't eaten at night, eat some." Yuecha's voice was very soft, but it came in very clearly.
Zhu Yuenuan thought about it, got up and put on her clothes, went over and opened the door, glanced outside, and found that the light on Li Yuniang's side went out instantly.
"Madame made it herself." Yuecha blinked, pouted at the room over there, and came in with something.
Zhu Yuenuan hurriedly took it and pouted: "Beware of your injury." ”
Yuecha followed behind and persuaded in a low voice: "Madame was encouraged by others for a while, our young lady is the kindest person in the world." ”
"Did you drink ** soup? The sycophants are so obvious. Zhu Yuenuan glanced at her, "Go and rest, it's not early." ”
"Then you're going to eat it while it's hot?" Yuecha pointed to the bowl in front of Zhu Yuenuan.
"Hmm." Zhu Yuenuan nodded.
Yuecha smiled and went back to the study.
Zhu Yuenuan closed the door, turned around and returned to the table, looked at the bowl of hot noodles, and was in a state of mind for a while, before picking up the chopsticks and eating slowly.
When the inky night faded away, and the sky was torn open by a light. Zhu Yuenuan got up and began to boil water to make breakfast and clean the yard.
"Squeak~~"
Just after breakfast, Zhu Yuenuan heard the sound of the door opening behind her. Turned around indifferently.
Li Yuniang walked out and saw Zhu Yuenuan. Footsteps faltered.
"Mother-in-law is early, breakfast is ready." Zhu Yuenuan's tone was as calm as usual.
"Whoa." Li Yuniang was stunned, responded very uncomfortably, lowered her head and went into the kitchen, fetching water to wash.
Zhu Yuenuan didn't care, she didn't follow up and say anything, and she didn't continue her fierce attitude before.
The sharpness between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law seemed to be dissipated in this bowl of noodles with a good morning, and the courtyard of the Chu family once again calmed down.
Li Yuniang guards the shop every day. Hold the sole.
Zhu Yuenuan consciously took care of the housework and was responsible for three meals a day.
Yuecha was the most relaxed, and was ordered to recuperate by Li Yuniang and Zhu Yuenuan at the same time, but she was more ladylike than Zhu Yuenuan.
In a flash, more than half a month has passed, and most of Yuecha's injuries have healed, but the bamboo pieces tied to her body have not been removed.
"Miss." In the afternoon of this day, Zhu Yuenuan gave medicine to Yuecha, and just after leaving the study, Jinqing walked in.
"Jinqing. What are you doing here? Zhu Yuenuan asked in surprise.
"Miss, Second Miss, please come over, saying that there is something to discuss with you." Jin Qing is blessed. Said.
"Yuexin?" Zhu Yuenuan was stunned, but still asked, "Where did she say she met?" ”
"Qiugui Street, Shufu Courtyard." Jin Qing said.
"Okay, I'll be over in a moment." Zhu Yuenuan nodded.
Jin Qing saluted again and left first.
Zhu Yuenuan and Yuecha said a word, went back to the room to change their clothes, and after a little combing, they explained to Li Yuniang where they were going to go out.
to the street. She also went to buy a few small pastries to carry when she came out. A carriage passed by, flying in the curtain. Mo Xiaoyin and Qin Yue's faces were revealed.
Zhu Yuenuan saw it with sharp eyes, and when she looked closely, the carriage had passed, and the direction it was Qiugui Street, she tilted her head to look at the carriage in the distance, frowned, and continued to walk forward. …
When I arrived at Qiugui Street, I soon found the Shu house at the end of the street, but there was no trace of the carriage nearby.
It was Zhu Yuexin's personal maid ring who came to answer the door, and when she saw Zhu Yuenuan, she smiled and saluted: "The eldest lady is here." ”
"Where's Yuexin?" Zhu Yuenuan handed her the pastry in her hand and asked.
"Rest in the house." Yahuan smiled, took the pastry, closed the door, and led Zhu Yuenuan inside.
This Shu house is not big, two in and two out, and the layout is very elegant.
"This is also the Shu family?" Zhu Yuenuan looked at it as she walked, but she was a little puzzled, "It looks more exquisite than the Shu family." ”
"This was originally placed for the second aunt, as a special reading, and now the second aunt has gone on a study tour, Mrs. Shu said that there are too many people at home, which will disturb the second lady's rest, so she asked the second lady to move here to recuperate, and it has been half a month." Yahuan said very carefully.
"Half a month...... As soon as Shu Yaoqing left, Yuexin moved here? Zhu Yuenuan frowned, "Does my mother know?" ”
"Madame doesn't know, the second lady is afraid that Madame will be sad, so she won't let us talk about it." Yahuan shook her head, a little distressed.
"Got it." Zhu Yuenuan pursed her lips and waved her hand.
"Eldest Miss, please sit down for a while, I'll go and invite Second Miss." Yahuan led Zhu Yuenuan to a small courtyard, and retired after serving tea.
The sharpness between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law seemed to be dissipated in this bowl of noodles with a good morning, and the courtyard of the Chu family once again calmed down.
Li Yuniang guards the shop every day and holds the soles of her shoes.
Zhu Yuenuan consciously took care of the housework and was responsible for three meals a day.

"Miss." In the afternoon of this day, Zhu Yuenuan gave medicine to Yuecha, and just after leaving the study, Jinqing walked in.
"Jinqing, why are you here?" Zhu Yuenuan asked in surprise.
"Miss, Second Miss, please come over, saying that there is something to discuss with you." Jin Qing was blessed and said.
"Yuexin?" Zhu Yuenuan was stunned, but still asked, "Where did she say she met?" ”

"Got it." Zhu Yuenuan pursed her lips. He waved his hand.
"Miss, please sit down for a moment. I'm going to ask for Miss Two. Yahuan led Zhu Yuenuan to a small courtyard, and retreated after serving tea.
Zhu Yuenuan looked at the courtyard casually.
The yard is not too big. The room was almost as set up as the outside, with a striking refinement everywhere, and an incense burner was placed on the table directly above, which was burning with curling smoke and a faint fragrance.
She walked out.
In the entire courtyard, six rooms are built in the shape of a "7", and the carved doors and windows are closed.
Only......
Zhu Yuenuan glanced casually, and her eyes stopped on the two rooms on the right.
The door was ajar, and a corner of the pink skirt dragged under the crack in the door, revealing it.
Zhu Yuenuan squinted her eyes slightly, quickly moved away, and paced around the courtyard as if she hadn't seen it, passing by every door intentionally or unintentionally.
After two turns, she returned to the small hall where Yahuan had just taken her with a hint of a smile.
"Eldest Miss, Second Miss is sleepy, no matter how she screams, she didn't wake up, this ......" Yahuan came back, embarrassed.
"Then I'll come back another day." Zhu Yuenuan stood up.
"Don't, eldest miss, the second lady is still in a hurry to find you today, I haven't even eaten lunch, I guess there is something urgent, eldest miss, you have to leave, you have to come back in a while, how troublesome." Yahuan said this, revealing a trace of grievance, "Eldest Miss, you don't know, the second lady is in the Shu family, and she is not happy...... After coming here, I can't see the smiling face every day, and I don't dare to go home and tell my wife that it's rare for me to go to find the eldest lady today. ”
"Got it, then I'll wait a little longer." Zhu Yuenuan listened quietly, looked at the rooms just now, and sat back down.
"Great, the eldest lady will eat some snacks first, I'll go and see, if the second lady wakes up, I'll help her over immediately." Yahuan left happily.
Zhu Yuenuan watched her leave helplessly and picked up the tea.
The tea is clear, and the fragrance of the tea is passed on, and there is a feeling of drowsiness.
Zhu Yuenuan flicked the lid, yawned, raised her glass to her lips, and suddenly, she stopped again, raised her eyes and glanced out, her lips twisted slightly, and her sleeves were blocked, as if she had drunk most of the tea, but secretly it was poured on the cloth.
This tea, this incense......
Zhu Yuenuan slowly lay on the coffee table, motionless.
At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps outside, and four people came in.
It was Mo Xiaoyin, Jin Lan, and Qin Yue!!
"Miss?" Jinlan stepped forward, pushed carefully, and shouted softly.
Zhu Yuenuan didn't move, and her body shook with Jinlan's push.
"Miss." Jin Lan shouted again and pushed again.
Zhu Yuenuan still didn't react.
"Okay, the medicine works, she won't wake up for a while, I'll add some to her later, hum!" Qin Yue said lightly.
"Miss Qin, I hope you are the talker." (To be continued)
