Bai Zhanjun, who was worried, sent Dr. Xie away and walked slowly to Jin's bed, followed by Bai Qi. Because the epidemic is easy to infect people, they deliberately separated several layers of gauze curtains, and the father and son kept enough distance from her.

Kim was in a coma at the moment, her hair was messy, her face was yellow and dull, and her eyes were blue. Such an appearance is really unpleasant, even though he knows that she is seriously ill, Bai Zhanjung's gaze does not want to linger too much.

He quickly turned around and walked up to the Yun clan with his hands in his hands, and asked with a frown, "Who has Madam been in contact with recently?" ”

"Madame has never left the house for a long time, and she only comes into contact with people in the house on weekdays." Recently, the Yun family, who has been in charge of the house and everything is going well, is as beautiful and moving as ever, and today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, she deliberately wore a peach-pink cloud brocade cardigan dress, looking festive and delicate.

Sure enough, there is no harm if there is no contrast, compared to the dying and unsightly Jin, the beauty of the Yun family is more and more set off. Bai Zhanzhu's gaze at his concubine looked very soft, and he nodded and ordered: "Call all the maids in the house." ”

Yun bent his knees.

After a while, all the servants were all standing in the front hall, and the butler Xie Jiu was standing at the front.

Xie Jiu handed over the roster and whispered, "Master Qiqi, except for the bamboo peach next to the eldest lady, the rest are here." ”

Bamboo peach?

Bai Muguan was a little impressed, as if she was a little girl with an inconspicuous appearance and a quiet and introverted temperament, who specially served Bai Mingnuan closely.

"Where is the bamboo peach? Why not come? Bai Zhanzhuan sat on the top and asked in a deep voice.

Xie Jiu's eyes flashed, and he replied stubbornly: "Back to the master, Zhutao is sick." ”

Sick? In other words, if the maid is sick, she is allowed to rest for two days, which is not a big deal, and Bai Zhanchun will not ask at all. Today is very different, Jin's is suffering from the epidemic, and Dr. Xie said that the disease must be transmitted by someone, otherwise it will not be good to cause the epidemic.

"What's wrong with her? Where are the people? Bai Zhanjun couldn't help pinching his eyebrows, it was freezing outside the house, and the charcoal fire was burning inside the house for heating, and the air could not circulate, so he felt so stuffy that he couldn't breathe.

This time Xie Jiu didn't dare to answer easily, and turned his head sideways to the maid beside him, the maid's name was Chunmei, who was also the one who served Bai Mingnuan, and when he saw this, he could only speak boldly: "Master, Zhutao went out of the house a few days ago to buy rouge gouache for Miss, and it became hot that night." At first, she didn't take it seriously, thinking that she was cold outside during the day, and she couldn't get out of bed after looking for some medicine to drink, and yesterday she was getting worse and worse. Miss is kind-hearted, and took advantage of the Chinese New Year to order her to go home and rest for a few days, but unfortunately Zhutao has no father and no brothers, so there is no place to go. ”

It sounds like this maid is still in the white house. Bai Muguan's heart skipped a beat inexplicably, as if he realized that something was wrong.

Bai Qi seemed to understand a little, and gasped: "Could it be that this contracted the epidemic outside, and only infected her mother after she came back?" Then my sister gets along with her day and night, isn't it ......"

"Hurry up and invite Dr. Xie back!" Bai Zhanchun still dared to think deeply, slapped his head and hurriedly commanded, "Chunmei, you go and bring the eldest lady." ”

Before Xie Jiu and Chunmei walked out of the door, they saw a plain figure fluttering in, and their faint voice was exciting: "Father and brother don't have to worry too much, Ming Nuan is safe and sound." ”

Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, but Bai Mingnuan is wearing an untimely milky white floor-length skirt, if it weren't for the skirt embroidered with a few chrysanthemums with light yellow silk thread, I am afraid it will be suspected of being a mourning dress. I haven't seen her for more than a month, her clear eyes are as calm as ice, her slender and straight neck is wearing a necklace made of pearls, and her temperament is more detached than before.

Xiangyun couldn't help but be attracted to her, and whispered in Bai Muguan's ear: "Miss, why does she look so much like the crown princess?" ”

It's amazing!

Bai Muguan's heart sank, and the coldness on his lips floated. It is undeniable that in just over a month, Bai Mingnuan's charm has improved more than a little. It seems that Bai Zhanjun did not tell the truth to the royal power, and what kind of grounding and punishing Bai Mingnuan was just to cover up people's eyes.

It is said that Bai Mingnuan's appearance and temperament are similar to Ye Shiying, they are both slender and thin beauties. It's just that Ye Shiying's face is more delicate and beautiful, and her talent for reading poetry and books since she was a child is beyond her reach, like a snow lotus in the Tianshan Mountains and like an orchid in the empty valley. And what about Bai Mingnuan? The timidity of arriving in the capital for the first time is gone, and the white dress wrap is also very beautiful, like a flower blooming on ice and snow.

Sure enough, Bai Zhanchun was not surprised and did not accuse her of dressing too plainly, but only said with concern: "You are too thin in winter when it is cold, beware of catching a cold." Your mother is now very sick, and my father does not want you to be bedridden as well. ”

"Father is right." Bai Mingnuan lowered his eyes, and the corner of his eye couldn't help but glance at the girl in scarlet clothes. It doesn't matter if you don't glance at it, this trance saw the red gold ruby collar around her neck. What a gorgeous and dazzling collar, estimated to be worth a thousand gold?

Thinking of this, Bai Ming's warm heart was gloomy again, and the momentum that he had originally confident suddenly weakened a little. In the past month, she has suffered so much, only she knows how much she has suffered, from her etiquette and gait to her speech and demeanor, and then to her hard work in learning piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, in order to amaze Bai Muguan and make Bai Muguan sigh to herself. It's a pity that today, the person who sighs about Furu is still herself. She can emulate the charm of the first beauty in the capital, and she can learn the manners of the nobles in the capital, but she is easily blinded by the jewel collar around her cousin's neck.

At this time, Bai Muguan suddenly pursed his lips and smiled, his smile was sweet and harmless: "Shibei should be impressed for three days, and the warm cousin is really like a clear water hibiscus." ”

Bai Mingnuan waved his hand humbly, and said softly: "Where do I dare to bear the praise of my cousin, with my sister and your pearl jade in front, I am unsightly to be in the posture of Pu Liu." ”

Even the speech is different from before. I don't know what kind of master trained her carefully?

"The eldest aunt is infected with the epidemic and is very sick now, and Cousin Nuan should stay in front of the bed to serve, and it is filial piety to not leave the party." Bai Muguan's simple two sentences are obviously pointed.

Jin's life hangs by a thread, Bai Mingnuan is late, if he is not really punished in the house, he is not filial.

Where did Bai Mingnuan dare to bear the reputation of an unfilial daughter, and hurriedly defended: "Before, my father didn't allow me to go out of the house for half a step, but now I heard that my mother's illness suddenly worsened, and I didn't care about anything before I ran out and hoped that my father would forgive me." ”

The half-truths and half-truths are also true, Bai Zhanchun had to cover up Zhou Xuan for his daughter, and said in the future: "That's it, don't mention the past in the future." Since you have the heart to come, hurry inside and see your mother, but don't get too close, beware of being sick. ”

Bai Mingnuan obediently agreed: "Yes." ”

Bai Qi silently led his sister to the inner room of the Jin family. Before leaving, Bai Mingnuan glanced at the collar on the scarlet girl again, and suddenly had a good idea in his mind.

Xie Jiu, who had been busy for a while, came back, and along the road were Dr. Xie and the maid Zhutao, who were invited again. Zhu Tao was held by two other maids, walking staggeringly, one was born with an ordinary appearance of miserable white and frightening, and the cheeks were abnormally flushed, which showed that the illness was not light.

As soon as the two maids beside her let go, Zhu Tao, who had no strength to support, immediately collapsed to the ground, shrugged her head, and was angry: "The slave has seen the master." ”

Without waiting for Bai Zhansong to open his mouth to ask, Xie Jiu hurriedly came one by one: "Just now, Dr. Xie has already seen Zhutao, and she has also contracted the epidemic, but the symptoms have been long and there is no risk of infecting people, so I have the courage to lead her back." ”

A room full of people breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, Bai Zhan stared at Zhu Tao condescendingly with a straight face, and asked coldly: "You damn bitch even dared to go back to the house when you were infected with the epidemic outside, causing your wife to be sick in bed, who instructed you?" What is the intention? ”

Zhu Tao is different from Chunmei and other maids, she is not an old person from Fuzhou, but a maid newly purchased by Xie Jiu in the capital. Bai Zhanzhung suspected that her mind was not pure, and it was understandable. After all, she is not a maid serving the Jin family, if it is said that the unintentionally infected unlucky person should also be Bai Mingnuan, or Chunmei and other maids who eat and live with her.

"Master, the slave and maid have been wronged...... The slave maid went to the street that day just to buy rouge gouache for the young lady, and she didn't deliberately come into contact with anyone, and somehow she contracted this disease. Besides, the slave and the lady have no grievances, so why bother to pay for their lives and kill the wife? Zhu Tao was prostrate on the ground, panting and said, "Two days ago, there was not enough manpower around Madame, so the slave maid went to help and made soup for Madame." At that time, the slave didn't know that she was suffering from the epidemic, otherwise she would never dare to approach the already sick lady! Ask the lord to learn clearly! ”

Dr. Xie stroked his beard and opened his mouth at the right time: "This makes sense." Although Zhu Tao serves the lady of your house, as long as there is no close contact with the sick and no body fluids of the sick, people who are in good health are not easy to be infected. However, Madame is in the middle of illness and her body is relatively weak, so she is naturally the most susceptible to it. ”

Bai Zhanchun thought for a moment, still with a gloomy face, and said coldly: "Come on, immediately drive Zhutao out of the house!" ”

In any case, it was the bamboo peach that hurt the Kim family. But is Bamboo Peach really unintentional? Bai Muwan's eyes flashed, at least she didn't think so. Inadvertently, she and Wang Quan looked at each other, and found that doubts were also flashing in his eyes.

"Master, it's not a pity for the slave to die, the slave and the maid only wish the lady a speedy recovery." After that, Zhu Tao kowtowed her head a few times, and then let the two little guys rudely drag her away.

Whose person is this bamboo peach? Bai Muguan always felt that some "good shows" were about to start.
