Chapter 393: Countermeasures (1)
No wonder the Xue family pretended to make new clothes for her today, and the relationship was to take her to Shangshu Mansion so that Mrs. Ma and Lu Shangshu could look at each other. If she is taken by others, it seems that she will be packed up and married to Shangshu Mansion......
Ye Qinglan has never had this feeling of gnashing her teeth with hatred. Fortunately, Cui Wan reported to her in time, if she was really calculated by the Xue family, she would fall into passivity. In any case, Xue is her mother-in-law. Taking advantage of the convenience of her identity, she, a concubine, can fight with her mother-in-law in other things. In fact, there is no say in the matter of marriage!
Cui Wan thought about it and gave Ye Qinglan an idea: "Anyway, there are still a few days, you might as well pretend to be sick." ”
"No." Ye Qinglan frowned: "Pretending to be sick can only hide for a while." Even if you are "sick" these days, you can't keep getting sick. When she was "well", Xue still insisted on taking her to Shangshu Mansion, so what should I do?
Cui Wan also had no idea, and looked sad: "Then what should I do?" ”
Ye Qinglan took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down: "There are still a few days to go, and I can always come up with a way." By the way, cousin-in-law, I would like to ask you a favor. I want to write a letter to my father, please send someone to Zhengzhou for me. "Now I can only ask Ye Chengli for help, as long as Ye Chengli doesn't nod, the Xue family doesn't want to manipulate her family affairs at will. However, this letter must not be seen by the Xue family, so he can only turn to Cui Wan for help.
Cui Wan responded without saying a word: "Without further ado, you go write now." Don't go back to Hefeng Temple, go to your cousin's study, pens, ink, paper, and inkstones are all ready-made. ”
Ye Qinglan had no intention of being polite to her, and immediately nodded in response. Sitting at the desk and brewing for a while, Ye Qinglan began to move. Naturally, this letter was to be written, and the tears were extremely miserable. After I finished writing, I deliberately dripped some water on the last two lines. It looked like tears were falling on the letter. As long as Ye Chengli still has a little bit of a father's conscience, it is impossible to be indifferent!
After the letter is written. Cui Wan immediately ordered someone to summon the family who specially delivered the letter in the house, and repeatedly advised: "Ride the fastest horse in the house, be sure to deliver the letter within two days, and hand the letter to the third master in person." If the third master has a reply, you will wait to get the reply and then rush back. After the admonition, he specially rewarded two taels of silver for sealing red.
The family took the order with joy.
"Sister-in-law, thank you." Ye Qinglan sincerely thanked her.
Cui Wan said angrily: "What is polite to me." Although he had already sent a letter to the third uncle, it would take at least four or five days to come and go. I'm afraid that the third aunt will take you to Shangshu Mansion in the next few days, and when the time comes, it will be passed out. It's not good for your reputation. I'll have to think of some more countermeasures. ”
Ye Qinglan nodded silently, and quickly thought of countermeasures in her mind. But there's no good way to think about it. It seems that he can only use Cui Wan's previous method to pretend to be sick for a few days. At least it can be delayed for a while. When Ye Chengli had a reply, the Xue family didn't dare to calculate her so blatantly......
Of course, it is not easy to pretend to be sick and deceive the shrewd Xue family. Ye Qinglan was ruthless, standing in front of the window that night and blowing the cold wind in the middle of the night, and deliberately not covering the quilt when she slept. After a night, my hands and feet were soft and my head was dizzy.
When Rui Xue came to serve Ye Qinglan to change her clothes and freshen up, she was startled by Ye Qinglan's pale face. He asked anxiously, "Miss, what's wrong with you?" ”
Ye Qinglan was also very weak without pretending: "My head is a little dizzy, probably because I have a cold." ”
Ruixue was worried and anxious: "The slave will go and report to the wife, and ask a doctor to come and show the young lady." ”
Ye Qinglan said: "I'd better go and say hello to my mother first!" "The way I look. must show her face in front of Xue, so that Xue can see with his own eyes that she is really sick.
When Ye Qinglan appeared in front of Xue with a haggard and sick face, Xue was startled at first. immediately furrowed his brows: "You were fine yesterday, why are you sick today?" There was a hint of displeasure in his tone.
Ye Qinglan secretly sneered in her heart. On his face, he still looked pitiful and not lightly ill: "I probably kicked the quilt when I went to bed last night, so I caught a cold." ”
It's a coincidence that this disease came! Coincidentally, the Xue family had to wonder if Ye Qinglan knew something. That's why I deliberately pretended to be sick.
"Since I'm not feeling well, I've been resting in the house for the past two days." Xue said lightly, and sent the housekeeper on the side to go out to ask for a doctor. She wants to see if Ye Qinglan is really sick or pretending to be sick today!
Fortunately, Ye Qinglan's disease was genuine, and the doctor with a goatee looked at it and asked, and said, "Miss Ten, this is suffering from the cold and needs to recuperate carefully." The old decay prescribes another prescription, and it can be effective after drinking it for a few days. ”
It turned out to be really sick!
Xue's suspicions were finally gone, and he was not interested in staying any longer, so he casually ordered: "You can rest in peace for a few days, please be free." It seems that I can only wait for Ye Qinglan to get better and then go to Shangshu Mansion to be a "guest".
Ye Qinglan respectfully agreed, and then watched Xue Shi flick his sleeves and leave, a smile quickly flashed in his eyes. Finally got over this for the time being!
However, when Gui Yuan came over with a black and steaming decoction, Ye Qinglan couldn't laugh anymore, and discussed with a bitter face: "Guiyuan, shall I drink it later?" "Last year, I drank medicine for three months in a row, and she wanted to vomit when she saw the decoction.
Gui Yuan's attitude was very resolute: "The effect of the decoction is not good when it is cold, so Miss should drink it while it is hot!" As he spoke, he brought the decoction to Ye Qinglan's face, and diligently scooped a spoonful and sent it to Ye Qinglan's lips.
Ye Qinglan had to open her mouth and drink the medicine. The warm and bitter liquid slid down my throat, and the taste was so profound!
finally drank the whole bowl of medicine, and Ye Qinglan's face became bitter. Rui Xue hurriedly brought candied fruits, Ye Qinglan ate a few in a row, and the bitterness in her mouth finally faded a lot. I was tired again, and I slept all afternoon. When I woke up, my spirits were much better than before.
The maids were all very happy, but Ye Qinglan frowned secretly. If this continues, I am afraid that it will be fine in two or three days. No, it can't be so fast!
So, that night, Ye Qinglan quietly stood by the window and blew the cold wind like this, and her condition became worse the next day. After repeating this for a few days, the body naturally did not get better.
Not to mention that the Xue family felt strange, even the maids began to mumble secretly. Miss drank the medicine during the day and was in good spirits, why did she recover her original state or even get worse after a night?
Ye Qingfu was idle and came to visit every day. However, she hated the strong smell of medicine, and sat for a while at most at a time before leaving.
Cui Wan also came every day, she knew why Ye Qinglan was sick, and when she saw Ye Qinglan tossing herself so badly, she couldn't bear it, and couldn't help but sigh in a low voice: "You are really, what are you doing so yourself." Just pretend. ”
Ye Qinglan smiled casually: "How can you deceive your mother by pretending." You don't know, as soon as I said I wasn't feeling well, she immediately asked a doctor to come and see me. "If you pretend to be sick, you will be debunked a long time ago.
Cui Wan was dumbfounded, and only said after a while: "Then how long are you going to be sick?" ”
"At least I'll have to wait for my father's reply." Ye Qinglan had obviously already thought deeply: "However, I don't know what my father's attitude is, so I'd better wait for a while to continue to be sick." ”
Cui Wan didn't know what to say, let out a long sigh, reached out and held Ye Qinglan's slightly cool hand, full of pity. Such a kind and lovely girl, but she is a concubine, and there is such a mother as Xue......
Ye Qinglan smiled and comforted Cui Wanlai: "Sister-in-law, you don't have to worry. I'll be fine. ”
Cui Wan cheered up and nodded with a smile. He whispered again: "I asked your cousin to inquire, I heard that Mrs. Ma wanted to set up a family affair for Lu Yi before." But no one is willing to marry their daughter to a sick man. Mrs. Ma had no choice but to settle for the next best thing and met two young ladies. People are happy, but she dislikes that the two young ladies are not outstanding enough. ”
As a result, when I saw Ye Qinglan in Cui's Mansion later, I fell in love with it at a glance. It just hit it off with Xue's who was full of bad water.
The more Cui Wan spoke, the more angry she became, and her voice gradually rose: "This Mrs. Ma is too much, she knows that her son is a sick man who will not live long, and she wants to come to harm other people's daughters!" ”
Ye Qinglan was calm: "It's normal to be selfish as a mother." It was precisely because of that Lu Yi was weak and sick that the horse man felt more sorry for him. I want to pick a good daughter-in-law for him. This kind of mood can be understood. ”
However, forgiveness is forgiveness, she has no intention of sacrificing herself to fulfill others!
Cui Wan looked at Ye Qinglan, who had a calm and soft face, and suddenly sighed: "Who is she fanciing is not good, but she fell in love with you......"
Ye Qinglan raised her eyebrows and laughed at herself: "Who made my eldest person love!" ”
Cui Wan couldn't laugh or cry when she heard it.
The two whispered in the room, but Ruomei, who was waiting outside the door, frowned. She is specially trained and has very sensitive ears. Even if the voices of the two people through the door panel are small, they can hear the ** of ten.
No wonder Miss's illness came inexplicably and abnormally repeatedly. It turns out that there is still this reason...... Such a big thing can be sued as soon as possible!
Ruomei quietly returned to her house, hurriedly wrote a few lines on the note, and then passed the note out in a secret way.
When Gu Xinian received this note, it was three o'clock that night.
Before, he conspired with the prince in the prince's mansion, and drank with a bunch of staff in the prince's mansion, and he didn't come back until the time of the prince. (To be continued......)
