Chapter 106: Cover-up

It was the height of summer, but Rong Changning was unconscious at this time, his fever did not go away, and his face was pale as if he had fallen into an evil spirit. The imperial doctor couldn't say anything, and Rong Ling couldn't hide her anxiety. After several doses of medicine, it did not improve, and it lasted for five days.

Xu Yunqiao felt that her opportunity had come again, she covered up the joy in her heart, pretended to be cowardly and cautiously followed Rong Chuan and waited for the opportunity.

If there is a suona sound and the white flags are flying high, it is simply the favor of God!

When the subordinates saw Rong Changning's illness, they also secretly wondered in their hearts, would Lu Liyuan take back the small seals from all over the Hou Mansion? Some bad-hearted subordinates also began to compliment Xu Yunqiao more, and even sprinkled water in the courtyard more vigorously on weekdays.

It wasn't until later that a few bold subordinates chewed their tongues, saying that someone heard the imperial doctor say, 'The second lady has run out of oil and the lamp is dry, and she wakes up and faints, and she probably can't be saved, and even if she doesn't save it, she won't be better'. And the rest began to see the wind, and the rudder was to obey it.

Xu Yunqiao heard it, and happily wanted to set off the cannonball. In the end, I secretly asked someone to serve wine and food, and I ate it myself to ask for a good time.

In just a few days, Granny Zhuang was squeezed out by the maiden mother-in-law of Lujiayuan so much that she couldn't even eat well. As soon as he sat down, he was called by Xu Yunqiao again.

This will Xu Yunqiao is sitting at the desk to add incense, and the corners of his eyes are full of joy.

"Auntie."

Hearing the voice, Xu Yunqiao raised his eyes, and immediately asked with a pleasant face: "Coming?" ”

"I don't know what my aunt called the slave and maid to come?"

"Yo, what do you mean? I can't call you if it's okay? A subordinate is bigger than mine. ”

"Slaves don't dare."

Covering the incense burner with delicate fingers, Xu Yunqiao leaned over slightly, looking down at this Zhuang woman. Thinking about the appearance of her falling into the well and working for Rong Changning, she felt hateful: "I lost an earring, you look for it for me." ”

"Yes." As soon as Granny Zhuang wanted to get up, Xu Yunqiao hurriedly added: "It fell to the ground, you can look for it on the ground." ”

Granny Zhuang raised her eyes, although she knew that Xu Yunqiao was really looking for fault, she had to lie on the ground and look for it little by little.

"You've been in Orogasa for a while, haven't you?"

"It's been almost a year since I went back to my aunt."

"A year? It's been so long. Saying that, Xu Yun got up and walked forward, looked at Granny Zhuang on the ground, gritted her teeth and asked, "Then have you ever thought that in just a few months, Hou Ye will release me?" It's only a few months of work, and the sky in the backyard is about to change again? ”

As he spoke, he pretended not to care and stepped on Granny Zhuang's hand with a thick sole: "You say, is this a turn in feng shui?" ”

She was straining under her feet, and Granny Zhuang could only grit her teeth and endure it, not daring to speak more.

"Regardless of whether Rong Changning is in charge or not, in this Lujia Courtyard, what I say still has to be counted. You, made a note of it? ”

"Slave maid ......" Granny Zhuang's teeth opened slightly, and squeezed out a sentence: "Follow the teachings." ”

But Xu Yunqiao's feet didn't mean to move away at all, and the maid on the side took her eyes and went to bring hot tea.

Xu Yunqiao took the teacup, opened the lid and shook the heat, and suddenly his fingers softened, and a bowl of hot tea fell on Granny Zhuang's shoulder. There was steaming heat outside the thin shirt, and I didn't know what it would look like inside the clothes. And Granny Zhuang endured it all the time and didn't say a word.

Until Xu Yunqiao felt bored anymore, he raised his foot and walked to the side with the corner of his light pink skirt: "Come on, a pair of earrings doesn't matter, you can clean up this and go back...... Hiss, slow. ”

Granny Zhuang, who was just about to clean up the tea cup on the ground, withdrew her hand again, knelt on the ground and waited silently for Xu Yunqiao's second sentence.

"Speaking of last year, I really want to thank Granny Zhuang. If it weren't for you guarding the door day and night, I wouldn't have been able to sleep well. Recently, the second lady has been seriously ill, and I am also restless and unable to sleep, so it is better for you to guard the door tonight, so that I can also feel at ease. ”

"Everything, follow my aunt's arrangement."

Seeing that Granny Zhuang didn't dare to refute, Xu Yunqiao's heart was extremely happy, as long as Rong Changning was not there, this family would still be counted if they said it themselves.

"Alright, I should rest too, you pack up and go to the door."

Then she turned around and changed her clothes behind the flower screen, and her eyebrows couldn't help but be proud. Granny Zhuang raised her eyes and glanced behind the flower screen, and swallowed her anger to pick up the broken porcelain cup on the ground. endured the pain in his back, and stood in front of Xu Yunqiao's bedroom all night, until the dawn was gray, and he didn't move a place.

……

In the early morning, the Lujia courtyard was so quiet that only the sound of the subordinates sprinkling water and sweeping the yard could be heard, and the maid was tiptoeing to prepare to serve, and from time to time glanced at Granny Zhuang's side, and suddenly a sharp shout broke through this peace: "Second Miss is awake!" ”

"To die?!" Xu Yunqiao in the bedroom turned over and fluttered up from the bed, raised his hand angrily to lift the curtain, and looked at the panicked maid with angry eyes: "What did you say?" "Let's play

"Second ......" The maid froze and gasped: "The second lady is awake, she can eat and read the accounts, and she also called a few mothers-in-law in charge of Steward Yang and scolded her well!" ”

Xu Yunqiao carved his brows in disbelief: "How is it possible?" Didn't you say it couldn't get better? ”

"It's true! The second lady's illness came and went quickly, and the doctor took the pulse, saying that she would be fine after a few days of recuperation. ”

Seeing that Xu Yunqiao was speechless, the maid reminded: "The little boy has already gone to take a look, do you want to go and see it?" ”

"It's not all ...... It's going to be gone? Didn't the people in the Wanqing Courtyard say that she was ...... Are they all out of gas? Why did you suddenly wake up? ”

"Who knows, even the Imperial Doctor can't say why."

The pair of peach blossom eyes rolled slightly, and in a panic, he pushed away the thin quilt on his body: "I have to see, I have to take a look...... I want to see how I can get up today, who was half dead yesterday! Change, change quickly! ”

At the door, Granny Zhuang seemed to have known that Xu Yunqiao would be overjoyed, listening to Xu Yunqiao's panicked voice in the house, she shook her head with a little disdain.

The whole house is piled up in the Wanqing Courtyard, some people are happy and some are worried. Rong Chuan heard that Rong Changning came to his senses and hurried to the courtyard to see, as soon as he entered the house, the black man knelt on the ground.

Rong Changning knelt in front of the desk in a plain white shirt, leaning on the hidden table with his robe on, holding the account book in his hand and coughing red eyes.

Xiao Dong hurriedly handed over the tea: "Miss......"

Rong Changning pushed it away: "It's only been a few days?" There are all these deficits, and the face to tell me that you don't know anything? ”

"Changning, don't be angry...... This is what I didn't find......" Before Rong Ling finished speaking, Rong Changning glanced over and signaled her to silence.

Rong Ling didn't dare to interject, she didn't expect that the first thing Rong Changning did after she woke up was to ask Xiao Dong to bring over the account book and read it one by one, and after reading it, she was so angry.

Even though Rong Ling was shrewd, she couldn't help but panic because of Rong Changning's illness, and this panic overlooked many small things. She didn't know how many hands and feet Xu Yunqiao had moved behind her back in the past few days. The silver was in her arms, but the fault was on her.

Rong Changning was convinced that Xu Yunqiao would not be honest, so he opened his eyes and wanted to read the account and call people over for interrogation. It happened that Rong Chuan came, and when he saw Rong Changning's eyes looking at this person without anger, he was still coughing.

So he shouted: "The second lady just got up, you are so lively?" ”

Rong Changning raised his eyes and saw that it was Rong Chuan, and when he saw that he was still followed by Xu Yunqiao, his face instantly became colder.

"When you first recover from a serious illness, you just toss yourself like this?" Although Rong Chuan didn't have a smile on his face, his eyes overflowed with a trace of sourness: "The imperial doctor told you to recuperate." You must know that the incident of your illness has already alarmed the Holy One, and even if you don't care about yourself, you can't live up to the Holy One's concern. ”

Rong Changning slammed the account book on the desk, turned his head and raised his reddened eyes to look at Xu Yunqiao, who was following Rong Chuan, as if telling Xu Yunqiao word by word: "Don't worry, I can't die." ”

"You don't care about this mess for now." Before Rong Chuan could say the second half of his sentence, Rong Changning asked: "The father has the heart to ask his daughter to recuperate, did he have a decision in his heart?" ”

Rong Chuan glanced at the number in the account book, sat aside and asked Rong Changning: "How much is the deficit?" ”

"Roughly calculated, one hundred and thirty-six taels."

"It's just a hundred taels of silver."

"If we do this rough calculation, it will be one hundred and thirty-six taels for seven days, five hundred and fifty-seven taels for the end of one month, and one thousand one hundred and fourteen taels for two months. Although Baining Houfu has a lot of family property, but this year, seven or eight thousand taels of silver will be used to supplement my purse, I don't know whose purse, I am willing to do it, and my father is also willing to do it? Saying that, Rong Changning's willow eyebrows drooped slightly, and in a blink of an eye, he looked indifferent: "Anyway, I want to marry Baifu after all." It doesn't matter to me who the money goes to. ”

After speaking, Rong Changning looked at Rong Chuan with an indifferent expression, and Rong Chuan turned his eyes to look at those subordinates. Speaking of which, Xu Yunqiao couldn't help but interject: "It's really good that Changning woke up, you don't know how much Hou Ye has to bear these days......

"I'm not dead, my aunt is disappointed, right?" Rong Changning looked at Xu Yunqiao with a smile: "I'm really sorry for you, I couldn't ask you to take back the small seal of the house to the right card." ”

Her unabashed was beyond everyone's imagination, and Rong Chuan shouted: "Changning! ”

Xu Yunqiao also smiled awkwardly: "Changning...... What did Changning say this? The concubine hasn't touched anything in the past few days, it's all the eldest lady who takes care of the housework, and the eldest lady won't ...... after all."

"You shook your hands clean. It's nothing if this is really the eldest sister's negligence, but I'm afraid that someone will worry about it, so I deliberately used the eldest sister to block the gun. The money was put into my arms, which stained the innocence of my eldest sister, and I was the sick and sick person I am now. The things that people are worried about come naturally, right? ”

"How can you spew blood?" Xu Yunqiao's eyes turned red, and he grabbed Rong Chuan's sleeve: "Second Miss doesn't care if she hates me and complains about me, you can't talk nonsense." ”

Rong Changning sneered: "I didn't say it was you, what is my aunt anxious about?" ”

Woo woo crying and crying, Rong Chuan felt annoyed when he saw it, how much did Xu Yunqiao do such a thing, he was like a mirror in his heart.

So Rong Chuan withdrew his sleeve: "Everyone in the house performs their duties, and whoever has a deficit in his hand is asked to make up for it, and those who can't get the silver are deducted from the moon silver." That's it, you need to recuperate, it's not good to toss the house to the end. In the future, I will ask your eldest sister to help manage the affairs of the family. The general is far away in the dome, you can take care of yourself to take care of the old lady for him. Although you haven't married into Baifu, you have to think of the old lady and the general to treat you sincerely. ”

In order to make things vague, his father did not hesitate to turn his words so far, Rong Changning was not easy to refute, and he didn't bother to refute, so he responded: "Yes." ”
