When Jiang Yu returned home, it was already approaching evening.

Gan Peilin asked Liulan and Crispy Core to prepare dinner, and was thinking that he was coming over, but Lu Yao came by himself.

"Madam, the master has drunk too much, so I won't come to accompany you to dinner." Lu Yao presented a brocade box as he spoke: "This is the medicine prepared for you by Imperial Doctor Qian." ”

"Okay." Gan Peilin asked Liulan to take it and asked Lu Yao: "Have you had dinner?" The small kitchen has prepared a lot, pick a few things you like and use some of them. ”

Lu Yao shook his head a little embarrassedly: "No need madam, my subordinates are not hungry." ”

"Ryulan." Gan Peilin nodded at her gently: "You can accompany Lu Yao to use some." There are many preparations left and right. ”

"Yes." Liulan promised to smile at Lu Yao: "You're welcome, there are many delicious kitchens." Follow me. ”

Lu Yao's heartbeat accelerated by her laughter, and he hurriedly followed him out.

There is the word Qian Yun in the brocade box, which says to swallow warm water before going to bed. So Gan Peilin asked the crispy core to prepare warm water.

"Miss, are you going to sleep so early? The crispy core can't help but be curious. "But when the Governor has dinner, you will only eat two pastries. Why don't you wait for the slave to bring you something? ”

"No need." Gan Peilin rubbed his shoulders: "I'm a little tired, but I'm still taking medicine, it's better to go to bed early." ”

"That's good." Crispy Core hurriedly went to prepare water.

In fact, Gan Peilin still understands in his heart that Jiang Yu can get drunk, I'm afraid it's not easy. And even if you really want to get drunk, it shouldn't be Jiang Yin and Wu Wei's wedding banquet. Neither of these people is very important to him.

But he used this excuse not to have dinner, which is a little intriguing. Maybe something bad will happen this night. Maybe he didn't want her to be uncomfortable at all, so he simply went along with his wishes.

After taking it with warm water, Gan Peilin took the pill and leaned on the soft cushion to close his eyes and recuperate.

After placing the things in the room, the crispy core slowly retreated.

Before I could get off the corridor, I saw the swallow hurrying over.

"Where's Madame?" Swallow asked impatiently.

"Shh Crispy Core gestured softly and said in a low voice, "The lady has just taken the medicine sent by Imperial Doctor Qian, and she has already rested." If you have anything to talk to Madame about tomorrow, I'll talk to you. ”

"Tomorrow?" Swallow's heart pounded: "It's too late tomorrow." ”

"What's wrong?" Crispy Core couldn't help but get nervous.

"Master......" Yanzi frowned, and after thinking about it, she still couldn't hold back: "Oh, forget it, you have to know sooner or later anyway." When the master came back from outside, he went directly to Princess Zhen. Look at this posture, I'm afraid I'm going to rest there tonight. ”

"......" Crispy Core was startled, and quickly turned around and walked onto the corridor, but when his hand was only a finger's distance from them, he suddenly turned around.

Yanzi hurriedly followed, and when she turned around, the two of them almost kissed.

Crispy Core hurriedly grabbed Yanzi's hand and strode down the corridor, only then did he frown and said, "Forget it." ”

"Forget it, this kind of thing, there are countless times when there is a first time." Yanzi was so anxious: "Do you want Mrs. to stay alone in the empty room in the future?" Besides, Princess Zhen is in power, and the hearts of the people in this house are about to become unpredictable. We'll have to let Madame figure it out. ”

"Swallow." Crisp Xin sighed and said solemnly: "I have served the eldest lady for so many years, how can she sleep like this?" Even if I was not feeling well, she would let me stay by my side and talk. Or fiddle with the incense to relieve boredom. It's only dinner time, and she wants to sleep, don't you understand? ”

Yanzi was stunned and couldn't answer.

Crisp Core was also full of helplessness: "That's it." The eldest lady's temperament is impossible to kill them all. ”

"Ugh." The swallow hung her head and said, "I also know that Madame has a good heart. But Princess Nazhen doesn't look like a good stubble. I heard that early this morning, she went to Jiang's mansion to greet Mrs. Taiwei. said that it was a greeting, not a flattery. Mrs. Taiwei almost bit Madame's life last time, and she must have hated Madame in her heart, and she was afraid that Madame would retaliate against her if she thought about it. Therefore, Princess Zhen automatically sent it to the door, and of course she would accept it. Once these two join forces, our lady will ......"

The crispy core didn't say a word, just walked out slowly.

The swallow walked with her, and no one looked good.

Liulan went and returned at this time, and her expression was also not very good. "You know that, too?"

The two girls looked at her together and couldn't help but nod.

"What does the eldest lady mean......" Rulan asked with some concern.

The two girls didn't say a word.

Exiting the first courtyard gate, the courtyard was quiet and panicked.

But not the entire Metropolitan Governor's Mansion is so quiet, there is always a place for trouble.

Cuiyun quickly stepped into Ao Li's room, and said without bothering to salute: "Sister Ao, have you heard?" ”

"I heard." Ao Li didn't hide his emotions, and looked at Cui Yunchao with a dull expression.

Cuiyun saluted and said in a low voice: "The royal gift is good." It's for the princess again, and it's not realistic to say that you don't care about it. Originally, I thought that there would be a way on Madame's side. But so far there has been no movement. I'm afraid I admit it. ”

"yes." Ao Li sighed: "You also said that it is a good fate given by the emperor, and the identity of the other party is more prominent than this one in our house." What if you don't admit it? ”

Cuiyun didn't say a word.

However, a little maid came in and saluted before saying, "Second aunt and wife, go and take a look, Xinghua ......"

"What's wrong?" Cuiyun asked with a frown.

The little guy was a little embarrassed and said, "Lang Zhong said that the scars on her body are afraid that they can't be cured, and they will definitely leave traces in the future." She hadn't taken any medicine or eaten in days, probably ...... Can't survive tonight. ”

Ao Li sighed faintly: "Finally, she has also been beautiful." I'll give her one last ride. ”

Cuiyun hurriedly said, "Sister Ao, don't go." She's already like this, and it's in vain to go. What's more, the master doesn't like her, and she offends the lady again, so you're not afraid of getting into trouble? ”

"It doesn't matter." Ao Li was not embarrassed for her, and said gently: "You go back first, I'll take a look myself." ”

Cuiyun moved her lower lip, and finally nodded: "Then sister, go and come back quickly, don't delay too long." ”

Ao Li didn't say anything, just smiled at her. When a man is about to die, his words are good.

She really wanted to know if Xinghua had anything to say to her before leaving.

Pushing open the door of the room, there was a musty smell.

Xinghua sat upright on the chair, looking at the person who walked in and sneered.

Her smile is inexplicably creepy.

"Why are you here? Why not Gan Peilin? Isn't she most eager to see my jokes? And you, didn't you let your master drive me out of the house just so that she could see my jokes? Xinghua's voice was no different from usual, and she couldn't even hear hoarseness.

But her chapped lips, pale cheeks, and the rancid smell emanating from her body made Ao Li feel that death was approaching, and she was extremely afraid.

"Do you have any other wishes?" Ao Li asked.

"Huh." Xinghua looked at her with some surprise: "Are you sympathetic to me?" ”

"Yes, not really." Ao Li sighed: "I warned you a long time ago, don't rush in. You don't listen, you have to take the fire out of the fire. I took it and planted it myself, and burned it beyond recognition. How not to regret it. But I really didn't come here entirely because I sympathized with you. I wanted to ask if there's anything else you haven't said. Maybe you haven't finished this road, I can walk it for you. ”

Xinghua looked into her eyes and suddenly understood.

"Do you know why the master spoils me?" Xinghuarao smiled: "When he was young, he once met a girl and became acquainted because of Xinghua. And this girl, I finally know her identity. It is Mo Chuxue next to Princess Zhen. ”

"What?" Ao Li couldn't help but be surprised: "Mo Chuxue? ”

"Maybe it's because of the name Xinghua, or maybe it's me and she have some similarities." Xinghua smiled slightly: "In short, the master's favor is just a kind of sustenance for the feelings of the year." What is going on, the master doesn't say, I naturally don't know. But Mo Chuxue must be the one who can compete with her husband Gan Peilin. If you want to fulfill my wish, make good use of it. ”

Ao Li nodded and said, "Don't worry, I will prepare a lot of silver for your mother's family." For the rest of their lives, they will no longer be hungry and poor. ”

"Thank you." Xinghua smiled lightly: "My sister-in-law gave birth to three girls in succession, and she only had a son at the beginning of the year." The whole family is very precious. It's a pity that I haven't been able to go back to see my little nephew. I don't know if the things in my room are still there. ”

Xinghua got up, endured the pain, and knelt down towards Ao Li: "The master doesn't like to eat sweets, and he doesn't like to be noisy when he is watching official business." But he also has a weakness, and that is Mrs. Taiwei. On the surface, they are mother and son discordant. But Mrs. Taiwei's casual words, the master will remember them. In addition, every year on Mrs. Taiwei's birthday, the master will prepare congratulatory gifts in advance. That's all I know, Sister Ao, Second Aunt and Mrs. Ao, please, send me back what I prepared for my little nephew. ”

"Okay." Ao Li nodded. "Don't worry."

Xinghua kowtowed solemnly to her: "You go, I don't want you to watch me die." ”

Ao Li didn't say anything more, frowned and turned away.

She didn't want Xinghua to know that she came here this time to see what happened to her. If she still doesn't get the slightest pity from Jiang Yu, maybe one day, her lower wings will be worse than apricot blossoms.

With heavy steps, Ao Li went directly to the wing where Xinghua used to live.

She asked the maid to find out what Xinghua had prepared and rubbed it carefully.

After a while, the little guy hurried over.

"Second aunt and wife, Xinghua...... No, she's ......"

"Alright." Ao Li interrupted her: "Just do what you want." ”

"Yes." The little girl agreed, but couldn't help but ask: "Do you want to tell the master......"

"No, you don't." Ao Li smiled bitterly: "The red candle is flickering, the spring night is a moment, who wants to let this kind of thing ruin the interest." It's not too late to talk about tomorrow and tomorrow. You go out. ”

I didn't expect Xinghua's death to make me so uncomfortable.

Ao Li sat empty in her room until dawn.
