In the Ruiyue Courtyard, after Lord Mu Xiaojun and Gu Yutang left, the Cai family called Chunyan to the house alone, intending to ask her a few words in person.

Cai's head leaned crookedly on the golden silk pillow behind him, and his face became more and more unsightly.

These days, Cai's has no appetite, and there are few things to eat, and the whole person looks sallow and sallow, without any energy. Even if you speak, you must be vigorous, otherwise you will not even have the strength to speak, and you will be stumbling when you speak, so that people cannot hear clearly.

Cai Shi clenched the tassel on the top of the emerald bamboo fan in his hand, and the maid who was waiting below took the beauty to beat her legs, looked at Chunyan who was holding her breath, coughed a few times, and asked a few words softly.

"Chunyan, let me ask you honestly, are you the girl who came to my house to serve and listen to the news in my house from Old Madam Feng?"

Hearing Cai's words, Chunyan was slightly stunned, how could Mrs. think of asking her this question today? Could it be that someone said something to his wife? Or did someone go to his wife and sue her?

Chunyan thought about it in her heart for a long time, but she never figured out who said this to Cai?

However, since Cai's asked, then she couldn't respond, she was originally the maid who Feng Lao'an pointed out to serve in Cai's house.

Feng Lao'an was not worried about Cai's family, for fear that after she became ill, she would make trouble in the house for the sake of Gu Lihua and Aunt Hong.

When the time comes, if it reaches the ears of the Shiping Cai family, I am afraid that it will not sound good. After sending away the maids who were originally serving in Cai's house, he took this opportunity to insert Chunyan in.

However, the only people who knew that she was a spy planted by Feng Lao'an's people were Feng Lao'an and the Qi family. Two days ago, the third girl specially called her into Cai's house to serve, in order to listen to the conversation between Cai's family and Mu Xiaojun, she thought that Gu Yutang should know.

Could it be Gu Yutang? Did she say it to Cai?

Chunyan thought about it for a long time, and felt that this matter was impossible, Gu Yutang couldn't do it in order to ask for credit in front of the Cai family, so he told the Cai family that he was a spy inserted in Feng Lao'an's house.

Seeing that Chunyan was stunned in place, and didn't speak for a long time, Cai coughed violently for a while, drank a few sips of the decoction brought by the maid, and said.

"Chunyan, in fact, it doesn't matter if you are a spy sent by the old lady's house. The important thing is, are you faithful to me? Do you have me in your heart?"

Hearing Cai's words, Chunyan said busily.

"Madam, although the slave maid is assigned by the old lady's house, the slave maid is towards the wife in her heart, and only pretends to be a master like the wife. And the wife is very kind to the slave and maid, a few days ago the slave and the maid's mother was sick, and the wife also specially gave me a holiday, just to let me go back to serve my mother. ”

Chunyan's words are actually from her heart.

Although she said that Feng Lao'an was a spy planted by the people, Feng Lao'an people didn't tell her to do those harmful things, and she didn't think about harming the Cai family. She did her best to do everything Cai's orders, and when the maids and wives below gossiped about Cai's behind her back, she would also reprimand a few words.

Cai Shi could also hear Chunyan's heart, waved his hand at Chunyan, motioned for her to stand beside him, and a miserable white hand without any bloodshot tightly held Chunyan's hand.

"Chunyan, I know that you are saying this from your heart, and I also know that you are good for me. But I don't have many days left, after all, you came from your mother's house, and when I die, my mother will not let you go, and you can go back to your mother to serve. ”

"Madam, don't talk that nonsense, Dr. Zhang from Huimin Pharmacy said that as long as you finish the medicines he prescribed, you can live for a year and a half. And there is no wife in charge of the house now, and you still need your wife to support you. Chunyan said this to comfort Cai.

Cai's is already terminally ill, and he has only been alive for the past few days.

But the maids and daughters in the house all hid from Cai's family, and none of them were willing to tell her the truth, even Chunyan, who also had to take care of herself, and didn't dare to tell the truth to Cai's.

"Chunyan, I know what my body is, so don't comfort me. I heard the mother-in-law who was waiting below say that the lord of Mu Xiaojun is a pengpu who escaped from marriage, and he has promised the eldest son of the Pingning Marquis Mansion, and now the people of Mu Wangfu are looking for her all over Chengjiang. I can't keep her in the house, so as not to get into trouble. ”

Cai Shi said, obviously using most of his body's strength, and it didn't take long for him to gasp for air.

"Madam, these trivial matters are free for the old lady Aunt Hong to worry about, you just take care of your body carefully, the old lady will definitely invite the little county lord Mu out of the house."

After Chunyan finished speaking, the maid in the pantry brought the freshly boiled soup, and Chunyan took it and put it on the small table in front of Cai's bed.

Cai Shi looked at the two bowls of soup and medicine on the top of the small table, and fell asleep unconsciously. After waiting for Cai's to sleep, Chunyan instructed the maids who were waiting in the house to say a few words, and then came to Gu Yutang's east chamber.

Because of the trouble with the little county lord of Namu in the Ruiyue Courtyard, Gu Yutang only felt extremely tired, and after returning to the East Chamber, he collapsed on the couch. It wasn't until Da Han urged her to get up for dinner that Gu Yutang reluctantly got up from the couch.

Gu Yutang sat in front of the dresser, brought hot water from the big cold, and after freshening her up, he combed her with a simple snake bun again.

From the jewelry box in front of the bronze mirror, he immediately selected a few jade hairpins and inserted them in Gu Yutang's hair, and there was a string of jade beads embedded under the jade hairpin.

Looking at the girl in the bronze mirror who didn't look like she had slept enough, Da Han sighed and said.

"If the girl didn't sleep enough, don't go to Mrs. Lin's place, if Mrs. Lin looked at the girl with sleepy eyes, she thought that a few of us were serving her closely, and she didn't take good care of the girl."

Hearing Da Han say this, Gu Yutang hurriedly replied.

"No, grandmother knows that my lunch today is in the sixth uncle's house, and she accompanied the little county lord to make a fuss, and she didn't take a nap, so her body was naturally sleepy. When I got back from my grandmother's house, I got a good night's sleep. ”

Gu Yutang knew that Da Han was worried about whether this time would be the same as the last time, obviously it wasn't her who caused her to have a high fever, and in the end she had to come out to take the blame and was locked up in the firewood room for more than ten days.

Two days ago, Gu Yutang specially went to beg the Lin family, and the Lin family called Mama Liang to release Da Han, otherwise Da Han is still locked in the firewood room, waiting for the Ya Po to enter the house, and he will sell Da Han.

Da Han now complains to himself a few words, he didn't speak for her, and it is reasonable to save her in time.

Gu Yutang didn't care, turned around and took Da Han's hand behind him, and said.

"Da Han, a few days ago, my grandmother called Mama Liang and locked you in the firewood room for dozens of days, which made you suffer. It's all because I didn't go and explain to my grandmother in time, I didn't save you in time, and I let you stay in the firewood room for so many days and suffer those sins. ”

Da Han seemed to be startled by Gu Yutang's sudden move, and suddenly broke free of her hand that was holding her tightly, with a slight smile on his face.

"The girl is serious, what is this? Last time, Da Han was negligent, knowing that the girl had a wind chill, and opened all the windows in the house, causing the girl to lie on the couch for several days, everything was Da Han's fault, and the girl didn't have to blame herself. ”

Da Han said, looking at Gu Yutang's eyes changed slightly from usual, and became a little afraid and awe-inspiring.

She herself knew that she and the girl were separated by some distance after all. The girl is the third girl of the Gu family in Chengjiang, and she is the heart of Mrs. Lin and Mrs. Gu, even if she makes a mistake, she is protected by Mrs. Lin and Mrs. Gu, and in the end, it is not them who serve the girl.

And she is not as good as Ah Hua, Ah Hua grew up with the girl since she was a child, and she was the eldest lady of the Gu family who came to serve the girl, and Ah Hua knew everything about the girl. Even what the girl likes to eat, what she doesn't like to eat, what she likes, and what she doesn't like, Ah Hua knows it by heart.

The most work she has ever done is to give someone a hand. Helped Ah Hua to buy that, helped the girl deliver the letter to the Jiang family's brother, the girl handed over the more important things to Ah Hua to do, and never thought of handing it over to her.

The girl didn't believe her after all? Is it difficult to achieve it, because she didn't grow up with a girl since she was a child?

Da Han was unwilling, but he didn't dare to come out, looked up at Gu Yutang in front of him, and said.

"Girl, the son of the Jiang family called Brother Shi to hand over the news, saying that after you asked Mrs. Lin to say goodbye, the son of the Jiang family came over in person, saying that there was something important to talk to the girl alone."

Gu Yutang didn't seem to notice the strangeness in Da Han's eyes, she only felt that today's Da Han was a little different from the past, but she didn't notice what the difference was.

Gu Yutang didn't care, thinking that it was not a big deal, so he said: "Da Han, you go and call Ah Hua to come in, let Ah Hua wait for me to change clothes!" Don't go with the hall, you just stay in the courtyard and guard, and Ah Hua will accompany me. ”

Da Han got Gu Yutang's order and went down immediately. A moment later, Ah Hua walked in, muttering as he walked.

"Girl, what's wrong with Da Han today? How do you see that I look unhappy? Could it be that the girl made her do something she didn't want to do?"

Hearing Ah Hua say this, Gu Yutang also thought of something wrong with Fang Cai Da Han, could it be that Da Han was still complaining about her in his heart? Complaining that she didn't get her out in time?

Gu Yutang thought so in his heart, so he instructed Ah Hua: "Go and ask the cook lady who is waiting in the small kitchen to make a few snacks that Da Han loves to eat, and send them to her house." I'll talk about it when I get back. ”
