Chapter 3: Poisoning and Memory

The moonlight was deeper than before.

Winter is approaching again.

The entire courtyard was lit up by Yan Wei with a candle flame.

The fire in the stove was still flickering, and the water on it was steaming.

She lightly carried the lamp to the inner courtyard, twisting her sore neck by the way.

When she arrived at the door of the quiet room, Yan Wei knocked on the door as usual, and only with the permission of the people inside did she put the lantern outside the windowsill and extend the cat's waist in.

This is Yan He's courtyard where he lives alone, and the maid next door has long been asleep.

"I'm sorry old lady, I'm late today." Yan Wei's voice was slight, unsightly gentle.

The candles were dancing in the room, and it was clear that the other party had been waiting for her arrival.

With the sound of the cloak of clothes, the warm words were also passed on: "It's me, who has been bothering you...... Today they have a hard time for you! ”

"No, it's fine." Yan Wei hurriedly waved his hand, signaling that Yan He's family didn't have to worry about himself.

The Q&A tacitly stopped here, and Yan Wei carefully helped Yan He's family to the corner of the courtyard.

Helping her lie down on the "small bed" supported by the wooden frame, Yan Wei turned around and went to the bucket to test the temperature of the water, and only after making sure that the temperature was suitable did she pour the warm water into the square wooden lattice in front of the small bed.

There are two layers of waterproof leakage around the perimeter of the wooden lattice, and there is a small hole in the center for draining water, which is plugged with a wooden stopper, and once opened, the water will naturally flow to the gutter in the corner of the wall next to it.

This is modeled after a modern barber shop, which is just right for the elderly Yan He's family.

There are houses built with simple wooden planks around to block rain, snow and water mist, and there is a charcoal fire prepared by her in the charcoal basin next to it, which is perfect for Yan He's family.

Although Yan Yuxin's mother and daughter have a lot of dissatisfaction with Yan Wei, at least, they are still more convinced of Yan Wei's "imagination" at this point.

Although Yan He's status is noble, she is not treated by the people of the Yan Mansion, and the maid does not treat her as meticulously as Yan Wei.

I was already too tired to move tonight, but Yan Wei always felt uneasy in his heart.

The person who reassured her the most in the Yan Mansion was Yan He's, so she took this opportunity to come over and take a look, and at the same time complete the cleaning.

Yan Wei originally planned to hand over the small object to Yan Yuxin tonight, but seeing that it was getting late, and she was afraid of disturbing Miss Yan's sweet dream and being scolded, she decided to hand over the thing early tomorrow morning.

It can be regarded as the completion of the order.

From the moment he saw the person he called "General Wei", Yan Wei always felt that something bad was going to happen.

But before she could come up with a reason, she was pulled back to reality by Yan He's questioning.

“…… Xiao Yan, how are the two children doing, are they very obedient? ”

Yan Wei hurriedly came back to his senses, and while cleaning Yan He's hair, he replied in a low voice: "It's good, they've been helping people repair houses and build houses recently...... It's just that they've been arguing with me to see you. ”

"It's better not to see each other, as long as the Yan family is involved, nothing good will happen!" Yan Heshi answered cleanly.

Yan Wei knew very well, just smiled slightly and didn't answer again.

Although Yan He didn't know what Yan Wei was thinking at this time, because the two had been together for four years, she still knew a little about Yan Wei's temperament, so she continued in a reassuring tone.

"You must discipline those two children well, and you will have a good job in the future, Xiao Yan, you have been taking good care of them, and they will thank you for your kindness even if they grow up."

Yan Wei didn't squeak, she didn't think about it.

In this other world, she has no relatives except Yan He's family, and those two children are like her relatives.

"That's not what I meant, old lady." Yan Wei replied with a smile, and the unhappiness in his heart gradually disappeared because of this.

"Whatever you think, for those two children, you are already a grace of recreation, and if it weren't for you, I'm afraid they wouldn't know where they would wander."

This is indeed the case, Yan Wei cannot refute it.

"If they turn their faces ruthlessly in the future, I'm afraid you will be sad......" Yan He sighed faintly, she naturally knew the importance of those two children to Yan Wei.

"They won't be like that, they won't!" Yan Wei assured categorically before he finished listening.

"If you have this faith and heart, they will definitely feel it, and they will definitely return it to you in the future, haha." Yan He smiled with satisfaction, her plans for the future could not be known to Yan Wei now.

Get everything done early in the middle of the night.

When she returned to the simplest maid's room in the Yan Mansion, Yan Wei not only felt that the room was foggy, but she fell asleep after being too tired.

I don't know when or by whom the window that was originally open was closed.

At this time, a pair of slender jade hands were gently pushed away, and Yan Weicai, who had been sleeping on the bed for a long time, turned around and left satisfied.

"If it weren't for my father and that old woman who valued you, you would be a corpse by now...... Hmph, Yan Wei, just thank me, this is just a little punishment for you by Miss Ben. ”

The more Yan Yuxin, who was scolding in her heart, thought that this move was cheaper for Yan Wei, but it was not good to kill her directly, which was her only regret at the moment.

The turbid gas in the room was all inhaled by Yan Wei, and there was a misty incense in the corner of the room.

returned to her bright mansion, Zhu Qingqing had been waiting there for a long time, and she was relieved to learn that the matter was finally done.

Before leaving, Zhu Qingqing also quietly instructed Yan Yuxin to let her find a good reason to send Yan Wei away tomorrow.

The next morning.

The Yan Mansion is more noisy than ever.

When Miss Yan saw the scene "belatedly", it was Yan Wei holding the quilt and shrunk in the corner of the door, trembling.

She shrunk into a shrimp shape out of fear, and looked at Yan's mother, who kept insulting her, with a frightened face.

She didn't know what was going on, only that her cheeks hurt and her body hurt.

“…… Dead girl, how did you bring back the contagion, this is going to die-"

"If it is infected with the eldest lady and the lady, how good it is, my mother! ——”

The fake shouting for the sky and grabbing the ground shows that he has always done his best to the Yan Mansion.

shouted in surprise, indicating that his identity in the Yan Mansion was different from Yan Wei's.

Many maids and servants wanted to get closer, but when they heard Yan's mother say loudly that this disease was contagious, although they didn't know what was going on, no one dared to step forward easily because of the danger to themselves.

A few bold people were encouraged to look forward, and they were frightened to retreat again and again at a glance.

At this time, Yan Wei's messy hair had not been taken care of, her cheeks were swollen bigger than a melon scoop, and her exposed arms had been scratched out of the quilt by her, and the scratches could be clearly seen.

This scene is even more terrifying than the appearance of a ghost!

"Yan, Yan Wei?!" Yan Yuxin cautiously leaned forward and shouted uncertainly.

The two maids beside him protected Yan Yuxin and tried their best to stop him.

It wasn't until Yan Wei heard her name and looked up at her in confusion that Yan Yuxin took a few steps back as if she was frightened by something.

"It's better not to come here, Miss." Yan's mother turned around, and instantly changed to a flattering appearance.

"This disease, really...... Contagious? Zhu Qingqing also rushed over when he heard the news and asked.

She had already heard the maid's report, and she probably knew something.

Yan Yuxin's legs were weak, and he was carefully helped back to his yard by the maid.

The mother and daughter passed by, their eyes met, and they each smiled knowingly.

I didn't expect the effect to be so good!

"Yes, ma'am, there is a village near the slave's hometown that has contracted this disease, and several people have been infected and died." Yan's mother said it very well.

Zhu Qingqing glanced at Yan Wei, then at Yan's mother, and thought for a moment before turning his head and instructing the maids: "Everything is handed over to Yan's mother, what should you do?" ”

Hearing this, the maids and servants looked at each other, and then dispersed in a hurry.

No one wants to get into trouble because of this.

"Yes!" Yan's mother stood respectfully and replied seriously.

"Who am I? …… Is the 'Yan Wei' they shouted just now my name? Yan Weise shrank his head and thought, afraid in his heart.
