Chapter Twenty-Eight: Sickness, Confusion
"Jiang Ruoyu, do you know what you're doing?" Shen Zhuru no longer argued, but stared at Jiang Ruoyu and asked.
"What to do? Good deeds, of course. Look at the hot weather outside, I have specially prepared ice water for you to cool down, I will treat you well. Of course, with the cool temperature of the ancestral hall, maybe one accidentally gets sick, and that's not something I can control. But even if you get sick, you're just getting a cold, and you can't die. Behold how merciful I am. Giggle......"
Jiang Ruoyu smiled openly.
"Don't hurry up yet."
"No, miss."
Yancui carried the wooden bucket and took the water ladle directly towards Shen Zhuru's head and slowly wet her hair, from top to bottom.
The cold feeling of the ice water was even mentally prepared, but it was poured down like that, so cold that Shen Zhuru shivered directly and gasped.
It was impossible to struggle, and the strength of the two rough mother-in-law around her clamped her tightly, and she couldn't move at all, so she could only endure it.
After pouring a bucket of ice water, Shen Zhuru also looked like a soup chicken at the moment, embarrassed.
The clothes that cling to the skin, a faint mist can be seen faintly floating, because it is too cold, and when it is hot, the moisture is particularly obvious.
"Yancui, take the things away, let's go back."
"No, miss."
The arms that were let go, Shen Zhuru was so cold that she could only rub her arms and move a little so that she wouldn't feel very cold.
Watching Jiang Ruoyu's maid take away the Buddhist scriptures and handwritten copies on the table, and close the door again, you can still hear the sound of locking the door outside.
Leaning against the gap in the doorway, trying to warm up a little by the light shining in.
Fortunately, it was still early in the dark, and the temperature outside was high, and the position against the door was not as cold as expected.
By dusk, the clothes on his body were dry, but there was still a little moisture that had not yet dissipated.
When the door was opened, the heat outside was very comfortable.
"Young lady, your dinner." The old lady who opened the door was holding a plate with a pot of water, a teacup, and two steamed buns.
This is Shen Zhuru's dinner today.
Mama put down her things, lit the oil lamp in the ancestral hall, and then withdrew and closed the door again.
After eating the two steamed buns, it was already dark. Stop and go, and when you are tired, sit down on the table next to you and rest for a while.
Before I knew it, it was late at night, and the lights outside had gone out a lot, and it was a lot darker.
"Why is it so hot tonight?" Shen Zhuru pulled her collar, covered with sweat, very uncomfortable.
I poured a glass of water and drank it, and after a while I was thirsty.
A pot of water was drunk unconsciously, and when I wanted another pot when I was thirsty, I tried it once, but no one paid attention, and Shen Zhuru could only sit on the chair and lie on the table to let herself sleep.
I couldn't sleep during the tossing and turning, and I was so hot and thirsty that I couldn't bear it.
I touched my forehead, but I didn't feel much difference, but it was obviously a little hot.
"It must be because of the cold water that I have a fever. What to do? This is not the way to go. It is necessary to think about the fever to be reduced. ”
"After exercising, after sweating, it should be better."
Shen Zhuru muttered to herself, got up and began to move, bouncing and jumping, tossing and turning so much that she was out of breath and tired enough.
However, after such a toss, my body was tired, but sleepiness hit my heart, and when I sat on the stool to rest, I fell asleep unconsciously.
In a daze, Shen Zhuru unconsciously lay on the table, tossing and turning, and her face was a strange flush.
The closed door suddenly babbled open, and a slender figure stood at the door and stepped into the door of the ancestral hall.
The crescent white clothes, a red Pisces jade pendant held the hem of the clothes, the long black hair instantly fell down on both sides of the cheeks, a white cloth towel covered most of the face, only a pair of eyes as bright as stars were exposed, shining.
"What a stupid woman."
In the low words, it sounded like a reproach, but it also revealed a trace of distress and helplessness.
The palm that reached out was slightly cool, and it was against Shen Zhuru's forehead.
As if finding a fish in the water, Shen Zhuru was unconscious, but he subconsciously approached the slightly cool palm and rubbed it.
Da Heng picked up Shen Zhuru's body, turned around and left the ancestral hall.
When the two disappeared into the night, another figure entered the ancestral hall.
With the same height as Shen Zhuru and the same outfit, another Shen Zhuru, who was alive, entered the ancestral hall and locked the door again.
In a daze, Shen Zhuru only felt a bitter medicinal smell filling her mouth, and vaguely felt a big hand holding her, which made her feel at ease.
It was like the feeling in the furnace gradually disappeared, and Shen Zhuru also woke up halfway, but his consciousness was not very clear.
Vaguely, I seemed to see the strange Mu Fenghua sitting on the edge of the bed and taking care of her carefully, feeding her medicine, taking her temperature, and accompanying her.
The resolute side face, the handsome appearance without any stupidity, seems so unreal.
It should be a dream, how could Mu Fenghua have such a normal time, normal and so charming.
"Young master, let's let the slave take care of the young lady. You haven't closed your eyes all night. ”
The sky outside the window lit up slightly, and the rain that accompanied him couldn't help but speak.
"It doesn't matter. I'll just do it. You go and prepare some rice porridge, and the lady will be hungry when she wakes up. ”
"Yes, young master." Yu Yu answered and left.
"Young master, you replaced the young lady like this, when will you send the young lady back, the slave can arrange it."
"Who said I was going to send her back?"
Qibao was stunned for a moment, and asked uncertainly: "Young Master, if you don't send the young lady back, are you ......?"
"Why not. Sooner or later, you'll have to know. It doesn't make much difference whether it's early or late. ”
"However, in case the young lady gets angry and has the idea of running away......"
"Then run away and catch once."
"But the old lady has already spoken, if she escapes again, the young lady will no longer be a member of the Mu family. Young master, it's not too late anyway, it's better to talk about it a little later. At least wait until the young lady is really reluctant to leave, and at that time, even if the young lady is angry, she will not want to leave. ”
Mu Fenghua thought about it and felt reasonable, so he nodded.
"You have a point. Then take advantage of the fact that the sky is not yet fully dawn and send people back to the ancestral hall. However, explain that the two of them take care of the young lady, and they must not be thirsty and hungry, otherwise I will only ask them. ”
Shippo couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Mu Fenghua bent over, directly picked Shen Zhuru up from the bed and walked out.
Between a few turns, stop at a wall.
Jumping slightly, he entered another courtyard, although this is just a small garden of the Mu family, but it is obvious that the place that came over the wall just now is the courtyard of the house next door to the Mu family, and the wall that is higher than other places is obviously built to distinguish different people.
