Chapter 172: Mocking Face
() What is it like to say that people are caught in the bag?
A moment of embarrassment flashed on Qiu Tao's face, but she quickly returned to normal, looking at him with her chin raised, looking like she was not worthy of him at all.
Steward Liu naturally knew that the maids beside Qin Niang were not half good in their hearts, and they were angry with Gu Chen, so they naturally would not treat him.
Steward Liu was bitter in his heart, but he couldn't say it.
"Young lady, the decoction is ready." Steward Liu didn't hear what Qiu Tao and Qiu Xue scolded him just now, but respectfully brought the decoction to Qin Niang and asked her to feed Gu Chen by herself.
Qiu Tao glared at him indignantly.
Steward Liu only felt that his scalp was numb, and after delivering the decoction, he was no longer an eyesore here, so he hurriedly retreated.
"Go out too." Qin Niang knew that these two girls were uncomfortable, and she didn't want them to be an eyesore here, so she sent them to the outhouse.
Qiu Tao and Qiu Xue were guarding in the outhouse, their ears standing upright, for fear that they would hear something inside.
There were only two people left in the room, Gu Chen and Qin Niang, Qin Niang put the medicine bowl on the table next to her, sat on the edge of the bed, reached out to help Gu Chen's head up, and then fed it to him spoonful by spoonful.
To be honest, she was extremely resistant.
As long as she thought of the child who had not been able to save in these two lives, it was because Gu Chen provoked Tang Wan, and the hurdle in her heart would not be able to pass it no matter what.
She had just given birth, and she was even a little uncomfortable, but now she was asked to serve this man who made her sad and hurt, and she was unwilling from the bottom of her heart.
However, she occupies the position of his wife, and it is her duty to serve her husband's illness, and she should be doing her duty regardless of her personal feelings.
"Ahem......" Qin Niang was not very distracted, Gu Chen suddenly choked and coughed, and the medicinal juice flowed down the corner of his mouth and soaked his clothes.
"Qin'er, don't go......" Gu Chen subconsciously held the hand she was wiping his mouth for, and then, the tighter and tighter he clenched.
Qin Niang's lips were pursed into a straight line, resisting the urge to stab him again, breaking his hand away, and continuing to feed the remaining half bowl of medicine.
Fortunately, Gu Chen was still cooperative, and she still thought that if he refused to drink obediently, she would have to force it.
"Okay, you've finished your medicine, go to sleep." Qin Niang put his head back on the bed, got up and was about to leave.
Gu Chen seemed to feel something, turned over and grabbed her hand, closed his eyes, twisted his eyebrows and said, "Don't go!" ”
Qin Niang remembered the picture she had just seen, and a fire suddenly burst into her heart, she tore away his hand, and said angrily: "Gu Chen, I don't care if you can hear it or not, you listen to it for me, don't think that I will be soft-hearted if I make a little bitter trick, as long as Tang Wan is in this mansion for a day, you and I will never be able to go back to the past!" ”
After speaking, she turned around decisively and walked out of the inner room without looking back.
"Miss, are you leaving?" Qiu Tao saw her come out and hurriedly asked.
Qin Niang nodded, and Qiu Xue immediately went to open the door.
A cold wind poured in, instantly blowing Qin Niang's slightly floating heart to calm down, she took a deep breath, and strode out.
Steward Liu has been guarding the door, and when he saw Qin Niang coming out so quickly, his eyes were full of surprise.
However, looking at Qin Niang's face, he didn't dare to stop her anymore, so he could only watch her leave.
After Gu Chen drank the medicine, the high fever quickly subsided, and by the evening, he had already woken up
Finish.
Steward Liu stood by and saw that he was awake, so he hurriedly ran over and asked with concern: "Young master, you are awake, but there is any discomfort?" ”
Gu Chen's eyes rolled, he glanced around the room and didn't see Qin Niang's shadow, a touch of loss flashed in his eyes, and his lips tightened.
Before he could speak, Steward Liu understood what he was thinking at the moment, and hurriedly said, "During the day, the young lady came. ”
When Gu Chen heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, and then he looked at Steward Liu with anticipation.
Steward Liu was so angry by him that he could only tell the truth: "The old slave specially went to Qinyuan to sell a miserable pass, and then invited the young lady over, unexpectedly, those guards were not good, and put Tang Erniang in, and the young lady saw her sitting next to your bed and fed you water, so she ......"
Speaking of this, Gu Chen's face was already ugly.
The latter words, Steward Liu didn't have to finish speaking, he could imagine it.
Gu Chen's face suddenly sank to the extreme, and he was swishing cold.
"Young master, don't worry, I have already punished the guard who let people in without permission, and in the future, no one in this Fenglan Courtyard will dare to easily let those idle people in." Steward Liu looked at his master's face and knew that he was afraid that he was angry, so in order to prevent the whole Fenglan Courtyard from being ruined, he hurriedly reported the punishment results.
Gu Chen kept his face calm and did not speak.
Steward Liu was very tired, wiped his sweat silently, and added: "The young lady turned back later and fed you a bowl of soup and medicine." ”
When Gu Chen heard this, the cold air in his body was really subsided, and even his face eased a lot.
Qin Niang came to see him, and she also fed him medicine.
Does that mean she doesn't really care about him, does it?
"When did she leave?" Gu Chen looked at him with a look of hope and asked.
Steward Liu, he can't say that people dislike it and leave after feeding the medicine, right? I was so disgusted that I didn't want to wait even a moment longer.
However, in the face of Gu Chen's expectant gaze, Steward Liu said with a clear conscience: "She sat here for a while before leaving, after all, she has just finished giving birth, and her body has not yet recovered, so she should not be tired." ”
When Gu Chen heard this, he nodded again and again: "Yes, it stands to reason that she should be recuperating in bed for more than half a month, but I am sick and confused, and I have always wanted to see her." ”
Steward Liu wiped his sweat silently, looking at him with a stupid look of being extremely satisfied with a little sweetness, he couldn't bear to look over his head and looked out the window.
"Tang Wan is here, what do I have to say?" Gu Chen suddenly remembered that Qin Niang bumped into Tang Wan when she came, for fear that she would say something that she shouldn't have said when she was confused, and the whole person suddenly became nervous.
"Young master, when Tang Erniang came, I wasn't there." Steward Liu glanced at his master with great sympathy, and only felt that he seemed to have a lot of IQ dropped due to his illness.
may say that as soon as he encounters Qin Niang's matter, he becomes a fool.
Gu Chen wrinkled his eyebrows, full of loss and apprehension.
I don't know if he did anything excessive with Tang Wan to make Qin Niang unhappy, otherwise, why did she turn around and leave?
Moreover, when he was sleeping in a daze, he seemed to grab a woman's hand and didn't let go, he thought it was Qin Niang, if, it was Tang Wan's words......
Gu Chen couldn't think about it.
Steward Liu stood aside, and Cheng looked at his house
The master's face changed rapidly, and he knew that he was making up something in his own mind, and he stood aside as air very interestingly.
This way.
After Qin Niang returned to Qinyuan, she took a nap and slept in the chaise longue.
The room was warm, it was almost dusk when I woke up, Qiu Tao ordered someone to bring dinner in, Qin Niang slept very comfortably this night, and for a while I forgot the unhappiness in Fenglan Courtyard before.
As soon as she started eating, Qiu Xue habitually gossiped while adding food to her: "Miss, that Lord Zhou was demoted to guard the city gate because of gambling, and the official position is in addition to two levels, and those concubines in the house have been sent away, and there is only one wife left, Feng." ”
And that Feng is not a master who can stand things, because he married a third-grade official before, he was as proud as he wanted to be, he was high-profile everywhere, stepping on the high and praising the low, and now he suddenly fell from the clouds, presumably it was also very uncomfortable.
"Didn't you say that he sold his concubines? Why didn't he directly dismiss his official? Qin Niang asked.
"Later, Jingzhao Mansion Yin checked, this is a misunderstanding, his concubines were actually just sent to the Zhuangzi outside the city by the Feng family, and I don't know who deliberately spread the rumor, saying that Lord Zhou was so poor that he wanted to sell the dowry of these women, but in fact, there was money in the house."
When Qiu Xue said this, she said, "Miss, the slave just thinks that this matter is actually going to the underground casino at all." ”
What sells women, gambling addiction, these are all rumors, in fact, it is not like that at all.
Someone must have wanted to expose the underground casino so that the government could seal it down and arrest people, so they went around in such a big circle and deliberately opened a gap from Lord Zhou.
"Speaking of which, Lord Zhou is really unlucky." Qiu Tao sighed and said, "A good third-grade general, just because of a thief, he was demoted by two levels, but it didn't take long to be demoted, just because he went to the casino a few more times, and someone used him as a breakthrough and used him to bring down those underground casinos." ”
I don't know who the adults offended this week, and how unlucky things have found him.
"According to me, he deserves it, who let him come in with a lot of fanfare and search the house, and try to search our yard. Moreover, he looked at the young lady with impure eyes, if it fell into the hands of the slave maid, the slave and maid would definitely make him worse than death, and the demote would be too cheap for him. ”
Qin Niang also remembered the situation that night, and she couldn't sympathize with the person surnamed Zhou.
She never thought of herself as a good person, and if anyone wanted to harm her, then she had to suffer the consequences of harming her.
"Who do you say, who has he offended?" Qiu Xue asked.
There are so many people who go to underground casinos in the capital, who is not good to find, but he found General Zhou again, this time, his official position has been reduced to a seven-grade sesame official, and next time, he is afraid that he will lose his official position directly.
"Don't talk about him, the Wenqu Academy will start to hold a fighting competition in a few days, although I don't participate, but you can also go and see the excitement, speaking of which, the dean of the Wenqu Academy is also my teacher, Qiu Tao, you go to a warehouse tomorrow to find a set of four treasures of the study, and give it to him when the time comes, lest the old naughty boy say that I see him empty-handed every time." As soon as Qin Niang mentioned the dean of the Wenqu Academy, her tone was full of helplessness.
"Yes, miss." After Qiu Tao should get down, she said, "Miss, I heard today that Miss Luo Jiabiao got the post of admission. ”
