With that, Yi Qi Mancao turned around and trotted away in a hurry.

Looking at Yi Qi's hasty appearance, Yi Qi chuckled lightly and shook his head helplessly. Then he turned around, and with Cuizhu, he walked leisurely in the opposite direction to Yiqi vine grass.

Cuizhu's eyes were full of doubt, but she didn't say anything along the way.

Back in his boudoir, Yi Qiwan hurriedly went into the house and put on warm clothes. Then he wrapped himself in the quilt and shivered, sneezed, and said, "It's so cold." ”

Cuizhu sent the stove to Yi Qi Wanxi and asked, "Why is the third young lady still wearing so thin?" ”

In the morning, Cuizhu also specially reminded her to wear more clothes because she was worried about Yi Qi Wanxi's body, but Yi Qi Wanxi only smiled and didn't think so.

"It's not about coming back soon." Yi Qi took it with a slight smile.

Yi Qi Wanxi knew that after what she had to do was done, she had to get out as soon as possible. The best way to get out is to leave no one with a reason to leave themselves.

So she didn't dress warmly, just to cough more and give everyone, especially Yi Qi Mingzhi, a feeling that she was not in good health.

In this way, as long as she asks Yi Qi Mingzhi to leave the table first on the grounds of ill health, Yi Qi Mingzhi will agree. Nor will anyone else have any words.

"The third lady doesn't care about her body too much." Cuizhu said, turning to make a stove.

Yi Qi Wanxi didn't answer, feeling the warmth from the palm of her hand to her body.

"But Young Master Wang didn't come to propose marriage for the fourth miss, right?" Cuizhu squatted on the ground with a stove and looked up at Yi Qi Wanxi, "Why did the third lady say that at the banquet?" ”

Yi Qi Wanxi said indifferently: "I have made the wedding dress for her, of course I have to help her put it on." ”

"But the slave maid can see from the way the fourth lady looks at you." Cuizhu's face was full of worry, "Now you and Miss Fourth are in a fight." ”

Yi Qi Wanxi lowered her eyes slightly and looked at the ground, the corners of her mouth raised slightly, and her tone was cold: "This is just the beginning." ”

Hearing this, although Cuizhu was very puzzled, seeing Yi Qi Wanxi's somewhat terrifying expression, she secretly swallowed her saliva and swallowed all the doubts that came to her mouth into her stomach.

After catching a cold during the day, Yi Qi Wanxi's condition became more serious, and she had a high fever that night.

Cuizhu went to report to Yi Qi Mingzhi, and as soon as Yi Qi Mingzhi paid attention to it, it made the people of Yi Qi Mansion panic.

In this way, Yiqi's mansion naturally became noisy.

Everyone can't sleep peacefully, and so is Yiqi Mancao.

"Why is she so much going on?!" Yi Qi Mancao, who was woken up by Aunt Ji and Yiyun, sat up from the bed suddenly, pulled up the pillow and threw it on the ground.

Yiyun and Aunt Ji brushed and knelt on the ground.

Aunt Ji opened her mouth tremblingly and said, "The master said, let you go." ”

"I still have to sleep!" Yi Qi Mancao said angrily, and lay back in the quilt with his side brushing, "Don't go!" ”

"Fourth Miss......" Yiyun said with some concern.

"It's my birthday today, can't you let me get a good night's sleep?!" Yi Qi Mancao sat up again, very angry, "And what does her illness have to do with me, it's not that she doesn't care for her body!" It is better to die early so as not to harm others! ”

Hearing this, Aunt Ji and Yiyun looked at each other, and then said in unison: "Fourth Miss, don't say stupid things." ”

"No matter how much you hate Miss San, she is also your own sister. If the old lady knew this...... Aunt Ji only felt a chill behind her.

"What if my mom and dad know?" Yi Qi Mancao snorted coldly, "If you have the ability, you will kill me today!" I don't have to suffer those sins yet! ”

"Fourth Miss......" Yiyun called her cautiously, and was about to say something, but was frightened by Yiqi Mancao.

"Get out!" Yi Qi Mancao said, lay down suddenly, and angrily pulled the quilt on.

Seeing that Yi Qi Mancao was really angry, the two of them couldn't say anything, so they got up timidly.

Aunt Ji picked up the pillow and gently put it next to Yi Qimancao's head, and then exited the room with Yiyun.

Hearing the sound of the door closing, Yi Qi Mancao turned sideways. When he saw the pillow in front of him, he quickly picked it up and threw it out. Then he scolded resentfully: "Annoying! ”

I don't know what the pillow hit, and there was a crisp sound in the dark room.

Yi Qi Mancao didn't care, and angrily pulled the quilt to cover his head.

The wailing broke the silence of the night, making the Yiqi Mansion even more tense.

The maidservant standing in front of the courtyard of Yi Qi Wanxi's boudoir listened to Cuizhu's miserable cry, and couldn't bear to turn her face away.

In the room, Yi Qi Mingzhi sat on a chair, holding a cane in both hands, staring solemnly at the doctor who had been busy in front of the couch for a long time.

The atmosphere was heavy at one point, and the already warm room was suffocated by the heavy atmosphere.

After a long time, the doctor got up, walked in front of Yi Qi Mingzhi, made a respectful gesture, and said, "Master, the third lady is just an ordinary wind chill, drink medicine on time, and pay attention to keeping warm." ”

The doctor was puzzled that the medicine he had prescribed to Yi Qi Wanxi before should be effective, why was it serious. But he was worried that it would make Yi Qi Mingzhi feel that he was a quack, so he didn't ask.

"How long will it take for the third lady's wind chill to get better?" Yi Qi Mingzhi's eyebrows were always locked.

"Generally speaking, half a month at most is about the same."

"Are you sure it's just a normal wind chill?" Yi Qi Mingzhi's tone became a little more serious.

The doctor was frightened by his cold eyes, and secretly shivered, and then said respectfully: "It is indeed an ordinary wind chill." ”

Yi Qi Mingzhi glanced at him in disbelief, and looked at Yi Qi Wanxi on the couch through the bead curtain with a worried face.

As soon as Yi Qi Mingzhi was silent, the atmosphere in the room became very solemn again.

But everyone present, except for the doctor, knew what Yi Qi Mingzhi was worried about.

What Yi Qi Mingzhi is worried about is also what everyone is worried about.

In the winter of more than 20 years ago, a woman also died in such a night.

At that time, no one expected that the woman who was refreshed not long ago would leave forever like that.

Yi Qi Mingzhi didn't expect it, and since then, he has always felt deep guilt in his heart.

However, Yi Qi Wanxi really seems to be just an ordinary wind chill, because her fever subsided in the first day. Although he still had some coughing, his face was bloody.

Yi Qi Mingzhi came to visit her, only let her recuperate with peace of mind, and told her that she must recover from her illness first.

After Yi Qi Mingzhi left, Yi Qi Wanxi sat up from the bed, looked at Cuizhu, who had been silent beside her, and felt that her face was not very good. So he called her close and asked, "What's wrong with you?" ”

Cuizhu walked slowly in front of Yi Qi Wanxi and said with a light smile: "It's okay." ”

Looking at Cuizhu's somewhat far-fetched and bitter smile, Yi Qi Wanxi was a little worried. She vaguely felt that Cuizhu must have something to hide from herself.

"Are you alright?" Yi Qi Wanxi wanted to find out.

But Cuizhu didn't give her a chance, lowered her head and stepped back slightly, and said, "Third Miss is hungry, right?" Cuizhu is going to make you some food. ”

Without waiting for Yi Qi Wanxi to answer, Cuizhu had already turned to leave.

Her steps were a little faltering, and Yi Qi couldn't help but squint her eyes slightly and look at it carefully. She was found to be a little unsteady in her body, and then found that her legs were a little limp.

There were still blood stains on the light-colored clothes and trousers.

Yi Qiwan's heart was stunned, and she looked at Cuizhu who was slowly going out in a daze.

It wasn't until the door was closed that Yi Qi Wanxi came back to her senses.

It turned out that last night I heard my father say that the cane punishment Cuizhu was not in a dream, and the wailing I heard last night was not in a dream.

It's just that Yi Qi Wanxi doesn't understand why her father wants to fight Cuizhu.

Is it because you are seriously ill? It's just a fever, and it doesn't have much to do with Cuizhu, so why hit her?

I don't understand, I want to understand.

Judging from Cuizhu's reaction just now, she didn't want to mention it. But Yi Qi Wanxi had her own conclusion in her heart.

She felt that it should be Yi Qi Mingzhi who saw that she was seriously ill and was anxious but to no avail, so she punished Cuizhu.

With Yi Qi Mingzhi's character, Cuizhu is a maid who serves him, and it is not surprising that he would do this.

In this way, Yi Qi Wanxi felt a little guilty in her heart.

After that, Cui Zhu felt that Yi Qi Wanxi was a lot more polite to herself, always paying attention to her feelings and always caring for herself.

Yi Qi is like this, Cuizhu always thinks of the woman more than 20 years ago, and can't help but have a sour nose.

One day, Cuizhu served soup to Yi Qi Wanxi, and Yi Qi Wanxi found that her hands were burned. So he hurriedly took the spoon in her hand and asked, "What's wrong with your hand?" ”

"I just didn't pay attention when I was boiling water, and I was scalded by the water." Cuizhu thought that she had scared Yi Qi Wanxi, so she took her hand behind her.

"Get some medicine." Yi Qi said gracefully, putting down the spoon and preparing to get up.

Seeing this, Cui Zhu hurriedly stopped her and said, "Third Miss, you eat, and the slave maid will go by herself." As he spoke, he chuckled again, "The third lady, like the old lady, is a very thoughtful person, and she is also very gentle. ”

"Old lady?" Yi Qi Wanxi frowned slightly, not knowing which "old lady" Cuizhu was referring to.

Cuizhu didn't speak again, turned around and went to medicate herself.

In Yiqi Mansion, there are not many people who are so gentle, and there are even fewer people who treat their subordinates equally.

So when Cuizhu first took care of Yi Qi Wanxi, she felt that she was very similar to the old lady. So he secretly made up his mind that he would do his best to take care of Yi Qi Wanxi.

Yi Qi Wanxi stayed in the house every day, sitting in front of the window, watching the branches outside the window covered with snow, watching Cuizhu, who was dressed in plain clothes, sweeping the snow in the yard with a broom, and watching the gloomy sky begin to snow again.

Yi Qi Wanxi will think about the outside world. She thought that the whole of Shanghai must be covered in silver.

She wanted to go out for a walk, but she didn't know why, Yi Qi Mingzhi wouldn't let her, the Wang family and the Li family wouldn't let her, and even Cuizhu wouldn't let her.

Yi Qi Mingzhi said that he could only go out for a walk when the weather was warmer. But in the month of Layue, it was very cold every day.

At that time, Yi Qi Wanxi thought of what Cuizhu said before, so she joked with Cuizhu: "Cuizhu, I think I am locked up now." ”

Cuizhu added charcoal fire to the stove for her, smiled and comforted her, and said, "The third lady is recuperating with peace of mind, and she will naturally be able to go out when she is well." ”

Yi Qiwan smiled lightly and didn't say much.

If it weren't for the fact that a doctor came every day, Yi Qi Mingzhi and Wang's Li would also come to visit her every night, and Yi Qi Wanxi really felt that she was isolated from the world.

Cuizhu will go to the market every day, and every time she comes back, she will tell some happy things in the market and listen to Yi Qi.

Yi Qi Wanxi would sometimes smile away, and Cuizhu would show a very satisfied expression as if she had achieved her goal.

Cuizhu also hopes that Yi Qi Wanxi can be happy.

I don't know if it's because I've been stuffy in the house for a long time, Yi Qiwanxi's mood slowly becomes impetuous. I don't draw anymore, I don't read books, and I sit in a daze most of the day.

Cuizhu often frowned when she saw Yi Qi Wanxi, so she thought of a way to make Yi Qi Wanxi happy.

One day, Cuizhu came back from the city, and after entering the house, she took out a bag of still hot retort cakes from her arms and gave them to Yi Qi Wanxi. Then squatted beside Yi Qi Wanxi, looked up at her, and said, "Third Miss, I heard that the eldest young master of the Si family and the daughter of the An family have set a wedding date. ”

"Oh?" Yi Qiwanxi's heart didn't make any waves, "When?" ”

"Next spring."

"Really?" Yi Qi's voice was still soft, with a somewhat relieved smile, "It's good." ”
