Chapter 172: Cover-up
"The rules of parenting are not just words, but based on actual deeds!"
Ruzhen's voice was not slow, but it was sharp, "We are not qualified to take care of the affairs in my sister's room, but Sister Yao, you also said it just now: If there is any ugly thing that spreads, people will not say who did it, but they will only look down on the reputation of the daughter of the entire Hou Mansion - this bottle of medicine is not a good object, I don't know what to do with flies and dogs, this slave is hiding from you and I don't know what to do, why not check it and let them all show up, so as to protect your sister's Bingqing Yujie!" β
She said this without leaking, and the courtyard suddenly fell silent, and I don't know if Ruyao was thinking about it or wavering.
Lan Ning in the room was anxious when she heard this, but she was afraid that Ruyao would take a step back and really let them break down the door and search.
Suddenly, I only heard someone sneer, "Sister Zhen is really eloquent, and I am so moved by her righteousness and strict words." β
Ruyao's laughter turned to ridicule, "It's a pity that you are not a man, otherwise you can go to the brocade guard, and it is really easy to refer to the deer as a horse or something." β
Qingyi on the side also sneered: "Our yard is not small, I'm afraid that if we search, we will find something." β
The meaning of this is simply that the two of them are not ready to plant something, and Rucan scolded angrily, "It's really the opposite, how can you interject when the master speaks." β
"Sister Chan still remembers that I am the master here!"
Ruyao seemed to suppress her anger, and said with a soft smile: "My master is useless, and my subordinates have suffered a lot and suffered a lot of sinsβbut today, as long as I stand here and still have a breath, I will not allow you to step through this door!" β
Hearing a bang, it seemed that Ru Yao had broken some vase or something, Lan Ning stabbed the window paper with her fingertips and looked out, but saw Ru Yao standing in front of the door, blocking the menacing servants with her body, and what she was holding in her hand was a sharp piece of broken porcelain. Aimed at his own throat -
"Miss, what are you doing here?!"
"Sister Yao, you ββ!"
Everyone was shocked, and was about to snatch the porcelain piece from her hand, but heard Ruyao say coldly: "There are only two rough maids living inside, not noble figures, but no matter what, they are also my people, and they are my face-whoever wants to step on my face, I will fight to splash blood on the spot today." And get this justice! β
She narrowed her eyes and glanced at the two sisters, "You two are majestic today, forcing your own sisters to death, spreading the word, I want to see who wants such a daughter-in-law!" β
As soon as these words came out, there was a sudden silence outside.
Xiao Gu also lay on the windowsill and watched this scene, the early morning sun shone on Ruyao, her slender body. is so strong and resolute in front of the door, blocking all dangers and disasters from the outside!
"You-"
Ruzhen's voice was astringent, and she hesitated for a while, but she didn't have the courage to make a big fuss after all. She sighed, clenched the bottle in her hand, and said in a low voice: "Sister Yao is so extreme and left-handed, I can't force it." It's just that I'm going to present this bottle of medicine to a few elders, so let them persuade you. β
After that, a blessing was made. pulled the angry Rucan and turned away.
The people of Tang Le Yuan waited for them to leave, and immediately rushed up to gather around Ru Yao, who put down the porcelain piece, sighed tiredly, let them disperse, and then knocked on the door.
With a squeak, the door opened, and Lan Ning was greeted by Lan Ning, looking grateful and frightened, but standing at the door in a daze, as if he didn't plan to let Ruyao in.
"Xiao Gu, she has a high fever from the wind chill."
She said sneeringly, but she was stuck in Ruyao's perceptive gaze, and she didn't know what to say.
Ruyao smiled slightly, and looked past her to Xiao Gu on the bed.
The room was a little dim, and the figure on the bed was a little blurry, but the eyes that sparkled like the morning star of the jewel were open.
Her eyes met hers, and she stared deeply at it, as if nothing needed to be said.
"Thank you."
Xiao Gu whispered on the bed.
The smell of blood in the room was mixed with the smell of medicine, and it was washed away by the fragrance of flowers and freshness in the courtyard, but it became a kind of demagogic sweetness.
Ruyao nodded and said in the same low voice, "I can only block this time." β
After speaking, he didn't look at Lan Ning, turned around and left.
The sound of the door panel closing was clear and crisp, Lan Ning breathed a sigh of relief, and muttered, "Thanks to Miss Ruyao." β
Then he remembered Ruzhen's implicit threatening words outside the door, and suddenly said urgently: "It's not safe here, let's go quickly!" β
"Where are you going? It's daytime, there are many people, I can't walk with an injury, can you still carry me on the cornices and walk on the wall? β
Xiao Gu stood up, gasped hard, and said, "You go and pour the basin of water." β
Lan Ning was stunned for a moment, and Xiao Gu had a pale smile on his lips, "Wipe the blood off my body, and burn the sheets on the spot - since I have a cold, of course I am on bed rest, you be careful, we can fool it." β
Having said that, there was still a bit of gloom between her browsβthis feeling of being seriously injured and weak, this situation of letting others slaughter her life, made her feel uneasy and frustrated.

"I don't know what kind of girl would rush to the courtyard of the cousins in the next room like a dominatrix to search!"
Bihe was still muttering, looking at her young lady's cold face, but she was automatically silenced.
Ruyao picked up the teacup but didn't stop talking, but frowned: Ruzhen Rucan thought that she had caught the handle, and she would definitely refuse to rest...... I'm afraid that there will be a lawsuit to fight in this matter!
"Miss is really scared of me, you are a daughter, why bother with them and take your own life to talk about it."
Bihe was chatting with Qingyi again, but Qingyi glared at her, "Miss must do things for a reason, where can your elm head understand?" β
Ruyao shook her head slightly and sighed: "Actually, I don't know if it's right for Lu Dao to do this. β
She is not a fool, she naturally knows that there must be something strange about the medicine, and there is a lot of uproar at the door of the room, but no one comes out to see what is going on - at that time, she guessed that this medicine must be inseparable from the two people in the room!
And intuitively, at this time, I am afraid that Xiao Gu provoked her - she is so mysterious and capable, and Zhizhu is in her hand and there is nothing missing, how could she be so seriously injured?
In her, I'm afraid that something terrible has happened!
Ruyao bit her lip slightly - intellectually speaking, she should not care about this idle matter, Mingzhe protects herself is what a weak girl in the boudoir should do, Xiao Gu's ability is all over the world but the source is unknown, rashly help her cover up, just afraid that she will get into trouble.
She should have given her over to the elders or the nurses, or left her to fend for herself!
However, she didn't do it after all, but chose to threaten her life to keep the secret behind that door! (To be continued......)
