"Steward Tian, please send someone to find a stretcher." Wen Qingzhu stood up, looking very anxious.

Tian Chong immediately nodded, turned around and ordered his subordinates to get the stretcher.

Hearing their words, Wen Qingfang became more and more curious and took a few steps forward.

But he didn't want Wen Qingzhu to turn around sharply and scare her back a few steps.

Wen Qingzhu looked strange and said, "Isn't the sixth sister gone?" Why is it coming again? ”

"After all, it's my sister's maid, and my sister is helping to manage the house for the time being, since she hasn't gone far, let's come over and see, how is Jasmine?"

Wen Qingfang's face was worried, and she said that she was worried.

Wen Qingzhu sighed and stepped out of the way.

Jasmine, who was lying flat on the ground, her whole face was swollen, and her facial features were almost submerged in it.

His hair and clothes were wet, and his face was so white that he looked like a ghost crawling out of a pond.

The moment she saw Jasmine, Wen Qingfang was so frightened that her face turned pale, and her whole body trembled uncontrollably.

"She, is she really alive?"

The Wen family has also stayed in the capital for decades, and Wen Qingfang has heard of the pickling and dirty things in this inner house since she was a child.

But for the first time today, I saw the maid's corpse -

No, it's not a corpse yet.

Because Jasmine coughed heavily.

"Of course I'm alive, God bless, I look like I've been soaking in the water for many days, but I didn't expect to be really alive!" Wen Qingzhu looked extremely happy.

Wen Qingfang raised her hand and shouted to Mama Lu behind her: "Mama, come over and help the seventh sister." ”

After a while, she didn't hear Mama Lu's voice at all.

Turning her head to look, Wen Qingfang found that Mama Lu had collapsed to the ground.

Her dark, thin lips kept wriggling, as if to say something.

Wen Qingfang hurriedly ran over, who knew that Mama Lu was so frightened that she retreated again and again.

He even exclaimed, "Don't come here!" ”

Wen Qingfang instantly guessed that this matter was related to Mama Lu, and turned her head and instructed the maid: "Cuckoo, Mama is frightened!" You bring someone to help her back! ”

The maid named Du Juan understood the meaning of the master, and hurriedly stepped forward and held down Mama Lu's mouth.

The stretcher came, and the steward of Tian instructed his subordinates to help carry Jasmine up.

"Quick, send back to Yanyuan!" Wen Qingzhu hurriedly ordered.

When she passed by Wen Qingfang's side, she quickly said: "Sixth sister, my sister will go back to save people first!" ”

Without waiting for Wen Qingfang to answer, Wen Qingzhu and his party had already walked away quickly.

Wen Qingfang looked at Mama Lu's back and hesitated in her heart.

finally made a decision: "Huang Li, let's go to Yanyuan to have a look." ”

More than a quarter of an hour later, all the maids and wives in the east courtyard were busy.

When Wen Qingfang came, before she walked into the courtyard, a strong smell of medicine wafted out.

As soon as she walked into the courtyard, Xi'er hurriedly came over to stop her: "Miss Six, Miss is very busy now, and she may not have time to receive you, so please go back first." ”

"I came to see how Jasmine is doing, and I heard that she has been missing for days?" Wen Qingfang's expression was very gentle, but she was quietly cliché.

Xi'er felt a little strange, but replied respectfully: "It's really not necessary, Jasmine's condition has suddenly deteriorated, and Miss may still have an infection, so don't let anyone in." ”

"Contagion?" Wen Qingfang's heart froze, but if she fell into the water, how could it be contagious.

At this time, Peony came out with an empty basket.

When she saw Wen Qingfang, her face was overjoyed, and she hurriedly ran over: "Sixth Miss, you came just in time, Miss said that there are still a few herbs missing, she said that the Wen family's treasury has it, and she wants to apply for it." ”

"Well, what herbs are missing, you say, I'll send Huang Li to get them." Wen Qingfang glanced inside the room, the opportunity came.

She had to go see Jasmine for herself.

Peony said a few flavors of medicine, and Huang Li took the sign and left.

The smell of medicine coming from the house was getting stronger and stronger, and there was even a smell of burning grass and trees.

"Seventh sister, where is this?" Wen Qingfang suddenly became curious about Wen Qingzhu's medical skills.

Peony carefully observed Wen Qingfang's expression, and then explained: "This is a special kind of acupuncture, similar to moxibustion, except that the medicine used is prepared by the young lady herself. ”

"I see, but don't you really need help here?" Wen Qingfang still wanted to go in and take a look.

Mama Lu's reaction just now was very wrong.

In the past few days, Mama Lu has been helping her take care of the Wen family, and she has almost no time to go out.

If Jasmine really pushed Mama Lu down the pond, she should have died a long time ago.

Just now, Wen Qingzhu and the others had a problem picking up jasmine by the river!

"Actually, it's needed, but Miss said that Jasmine's condition has deteriorated a little seriously, and she really can't affect others, not to mention that it's still Miss Six's daughter." Peony tried her best to persuade her not to go in.

But the more she said this, the more curious Wen Qingfang became.

Suddenly, there was an exclamation from the green pottery: "Peony! Come on! Miss fainted! ”

Hearing this, Peony immediately turned around and ran into the house.

Wen Qingfang followed without hesitation.

When they arrived at the door of the maid's room, a puff of green smoke wafted out.

Wen Qingfang stopped in an instant and covered her mouth and nose with a handkerchief.

The smell of medicine here is ten times stronger than in the front yard just now.

Not long after, Wen Qingzhu's coughing sound came from inside.

Wen Qingfang thought about it and walked in.

A little maid opened the window and fanned the wind vigorously with a fan.

The green smoke in the room slowly dissipated.

Wen Qingzhu sat on the edge of the bed, wearing a mask on his face, covering his mouth and nose.

took a side look and found that Wen Qingfang was about to take off the veil.

She hurriedly stopped: "Don't take down the handkerchief, peony, hurry up and change a mask soaked in potion for Miss Six." ”

Peony next to her received the order and immediately brought a new mask.

Wen Qingfang found that all the people in the room, including Jasmine lying on the bed, were wearing masks.

She hurriedly changed her mask and put it on.

After resting for a while, Wen Qingzhu lifted the quilt and took out Jasmine's wrist with a gloved hand.

On the wrist was a dense light brown dot.

Seeing this scene, Wen Qingfang's scalp instantly went numb.

Her heart was like countless ants gnawing at her, and she had a strange fear in her heart.

Almost subconsciously, Wen Qingfang took a few steps back.

How is this possible!

I have never heard of any lesions caused by falling into the water.

"Miss, I've got the herbs." Outside the house, Huang Li was stopped by the little maid, and could only call Wen Qingfang inside.

Wen Qingfang heard this voice and hurriedly turned around and went out.

Standing at the door, she said apologetically to Wen Qingzhu: "Seventh sister, I still have something to do over there, take this herb, I'll leave first." ”

"Well, sister, go slowly, peony, go and send Miss Six." Wen Qingzhu turned his head to look at the peony.

The peony was about to come out, Wen Qingfang hurriedly shook her head: "No need, no need!" ”

After saying that, she turned around and left with the maid.

Not long after leaving Yan Garden, Wen Qingfang met Mama Lu who came over.

"Miss, you're not going to see Jasmine, are you?" Mama Lu looked a little flustered.

Wen Qingfang was shocked: "Look, Jasmine is indeed or, but the situation is not very good now......"

When she mentioned Jasmine, she thought of the dense dots on Jasmine's wrists, and her scalp was still numb.

Mama Lu's face turned pale, she looked left and right, and said in her ear: "Miss, the day before the Yuan Festival, the slave and maid sent someone to push her to that pond, it's been ten days, how can she still be alive!" ”

Hearing this, Wen Qingfang followed with a white face: "This, this is impossible, did someone save her on the way?" ”

"Impossible, the slave waited a quarter of an hour before leaving, and ordinary people don't want to drown in half an hour! What's more, she also has several big stones on her. "Mama Lu is getting more and more scared, how can Jasmine come back to life!

……

In the wing room, Wen Qingzhuping withdrew from the maid who helped, leaving only peony and green pottery.

Jasmine, who was lying on the bed, slowly opened her eyes, and the puffiness on her face had receded.

Except for the fact that his face was a little pale, there was nothing unusual about the others.

"How are you feeling?" Wen Qingzhu asked her softly.

Jasmine sat up and looked up at it, and it was as white as snow, and there was nothing at all.

"It's okay, the slave is good at water, it's okay to stay in the water for a quarter of an hour. It's just that the slave doesn't understand, why do you want to let the slave and maid's hands be small, and you deliberately want Miss Six to see it? Jasmine voiced her doubts.

Wen Qingzhu looked in the direction of Tingqin Xuan, his eyes became deeper and deeper, and said, "Because the second young master is seriously ill, there must be a reasonable reason." ”

Late at night, Yanyuan was as silent as usual.

Several mothers-in-law hid in the shadows and stared at the west courtyard without relaxing for a moment.

In the meantime, listen to Qin Xuan's side.

Aunt Yue changed into dark clothes, supported Wen Qingmei in a cloak, and quietly went out.

Behind them were two strange mothers-in-law, carrying a sack, quietly following.

Halfway through the Yan Garden, they arrived at a side gate in the east courtyard.

Peony led them to a secluded hut in the East Courtyard.

There was only one candle burning in the entire room, and the light was dim.

Aunt Yue helped Wen Qingmei in.

Wen Qingmei lifted her hat, revealing a pale and haggard face.

"Miss Eleven, please come here and lie down." Green Tao pointed to the wooden bed next to him.

The bed was made only an old but clean mattress.

"Mei'er, listen to Sister Green Tao, go over and lie down, you will be well soon." Aunt Yue helped her walk over.

But Wen Qingmei didn't lie down for a long time, only frowned and looked at Aunt Yue.

Aunt Yue didn't know her daughter's thoughts, so she could only persuade again and again: "Mei'er, there is also an eyeliner in the West Courtyard here in the East Courtyard, your seventh sister is forced to do so, you will do it first." ”

Wen Qingmei still refused to lie down.

Wen Qingzhu next to him said lightly: "In two days, the Gu worm will take root in your body, but you won't be able to take it out." ”

Hearing this, Wen Qingmei's body shook and hurriedly lay down.

Aunt Yue turned around and asked the mothers-in-law to open the sack, and a person rolled out of it with a grunt.

It was none other than Wen Mingyu, the second young master of the Wen family.

Lying on the ground, he looked peaceful, and there was even a smile on the corner of his mouth.

Seems to have had a good dream.

Wen Qingzhu instructed her mother-in-law to put Wen Mingyu on the bed and put her beside Wen Qingmei.

"Are the peonies, green pottery, and medicines ready?"

"It's all right." The two replied in unison.

Wen Qingzhu looked at Wen Qingmei, who was looking at her with squinted eyes, and said with a smile: "I suggest that you sleep well, otherwise the situation may be a little bloody, and you may not be able to help but call out." ”

"No, it's okay......" Wen Qingmei drank a bowl of soup before coming again, and now she was extremely tired.

But she was so scared that she could only try to stay awake.

"That's good." As soon as Wen Qingzhu raised his hand, Green Tao handed over a tray.

Under Wen Qingmei's gaze, Wen Qingzhu took a dagger glowing with cold light.

Then he bent down to take her hand and raised the dagger.

Wen Qingmei was so frightened that she rolled her eyes and fainted.

Although Aunt Yue was worried, she could only shut up after all.

She is just a maid of the Wen family, not a child of the family.

If she hadn't become Uncle Wen's roommate, and later luckily carried her aunt, she wouldn't have everything she has now.

And everything she is now is Wen Qingmei.

Looking up, I saw Wen Qingzhu pick up the dagger and slash Wen Qingmei's wrist heavily.
