Chapter 18: Delusion
"County Lord, just eat a little."
In Yining Hou's Mansion, the maidservant Acui sat on the edge of the bed, holding a bowl of porridge in her hand, and was coaxing her own lady bitterly.
And Cui Yalan just lay on the bed, staring at the gauze tent on the top of the bed with dull eyes, and there was no movement.
"Where's the county lord?" Cui Yi's anxious voice came from outside the door, Cui Yalan's eyes finally brightened, and she sat up from the bed.
At this time, Cui Yi had already hurriedly come to the house, and when Atsui saw this, he hurriedly got out of the way.
"Yalan, I just came back, and I heard that I was sick, how is it, are you okay?" Cui Yi looked at his sister's pale face, felt distressed in his heart, and yelled at the maid in the house: "How do you all take care of the county lord, I was not at home for three days, and the county lord was taken care of by you and was sick, what a bunch of waste." โ
Seeing this, the maid in the house quickly knelt down and did not dare to raise her head.
"Atsui, you take them down first, I have something to say to the prince." Cui Yalan leaned against the head of the bed, her voice a little weak.
"Yes." Atsui stood up and retreated with a few maids.
As soon as the door was closed, Cui Yalan opened her mouth tremblingly: "Big brother, I... I saw her the night before yesterday--"
As Cui Yalan spoke, that face appeared in front of her eyes again, and her hands involuntarily grabbed the brocade quilt on her body.
"Who?" Cui Yi snubbed, Cui Yalan's words made him a little confused.
"Chu... Chu Yue..." Cui Yalan's voice trembled more and more.
"What?" Cui Yi's face was shocked, his body did not stabilize and shook twice, and then immediately stabilized.
"No way, you must be wrong." Cui Yi hurriedly denied, "That day... After the accident that day, the queen mother apparently found her body at the bottom of the cliff--"
Thinking of the scene that day, Cui Yi's face gradually turned pale.
"Big brother, I'm sure, I'm not mistaken." Cui Yalan looked at Cui Yi and said firmly.
Cui Yi was silent for a moment, and then immediately shook his head at Cui Yalan: "Impossible, how can a dead person appear, Yalan, you must have seen the wrong person." โ
Cui Yi's tone was very firm this time, there is no reason for a dead person to appear in front of his sister.
"Big brother, you just believe me, I really didn't read it wrong--" Cui Yalan was in a hurry, her chest was blocked, and she began to cough violently.
"Okay, don't talk about it, I believe you can't do it?" Cui Yi hurriedly said, in fact, he didn't believe it, but when he saw his sister's appearance, although he didn't believe it, he couldn't bear to argue anything.
I obeyed my sister first, and then I talked about it when my sister got better.
"Big brother, we have to find her, if the events of that day are known to the queen mother, then we will be finished." Cui Yalan grabbed Cui Yi's clothes, her face was full of beads of sweat, but her eyes were full of coldness.
"Okay, good-you good, look at you sweating profusely, you have to have a good rest, big brother will go and help you find someone, ah-" Cui Yi coaxed Cui Yalan, but he didn't take it seriously in his heart.
Cui Yalan hadn't slept well since she came back the night before yesterday, as soon as she closed her eyes, her mind was full of Chu Yue's appearance, and now that her brother came back, she felt a little relieved, and soon closed her eyes and fell asleep.
Cui Yi gently took out his sleeve from his sister's hand, covered the quilt for his sister, and went out.
It's just that as soon as he went out, there was an exclamation from the courtyard.
"Shizi, Shizi, what's wrong with you, come on, go and ask Dr. Zhou--"
---------
In a blink of an eye, it was noon, Ah Zhu and Jiang Rouman sat opposite each other at the table, Ah Zhu held the rice in his hand, and did not touch the dishes on the table for a long time.
"What? Isn't it appetizing? Jiang Rou asked Ah Zhu.
"It's not... Iยทยท", Ah Zhu put down the chopsticks, wanted to say something, glanced at the young lady, picked up the chopsticks again, and let out a long sigh.
"What are you, why didn't you say it?" Jiang Rou raised her eyes to look at Ah Zhu.
"I said before, I won't ask what Miss will do in the future..." Ah Zhu swallowed and vomited, and put the chopsticks into his mouth without catching anything, but he didn't realize it.
"Just ask, look at you like this, I can't eat." Jiang Rou put down the dishes and chopsticks, and there was a joke in her tone.
"Alright! Then I'll get it straight. โ
As she spoke, Ah Zhu solemnly put down the dishes and chopsticks, took a deep breath, and looked very solemn.
"Miss, how can you choose an Oiran! You came back to Da Zhou just for... In order to come to the green house, do you want to be an oiran? You obviously promised that Mr. would take good care of himself, and he said before that you wanted to be the boss, so be it, and Ah Zhu will admit it, it's good if you're happy, but... But now you want to be a prostitute and choose an oiran, are you doing the right thing? Is that right, the prince--"
Ah Zhu spoke very quickly, poured out all the words in his stomach in one go, and said very angrily, Jiang Rou just poured herself a glass of water and quietly listened to Ah Zhu vent her dissatisfaction.
"How? Is it all said and done? Jiang Rou looked at Ah Zhu and took a sip of the water in the cup.
"Hmm" Ah Zhu nodded, she still had a lot to say, but considering that the other party was her own young lady, she still chose to be merciful.
"Okay, I'll answer you," Jiang Rou put down the cup in her hand, and her tone became solemn, "In the future, there will be many ridiculous things, and you must accept it if you accept it, and accept it if you don't accept it." โ
Jiang Rou had no way to explain to Ah Zhu, there were still many things to do in the future, so in order for Ah Zhu not to ask endlessly, she had to take a tougher attitude.
Sure enough, Ah Zhu saw Jiang Rou's attitude and immediately deflated.
"Ah Zhu, you have followed me since I was a child, you should know what kind of person I am, since you said that you will always follow me, I just need you to believe in me, I promise you, nothing I do will hurt myself!"
Jiang Rou looked at Ah Zhu and said word by word, she really needed Ah Zhu's trust.
"But the prince is still waiting for you to go back! The way you look, still... Also..." Ah Zhu couldn't say any more.
"I know what you're thinking, I can assure you that no one can touch me--"
Jiang Rou's tone was resolute.
"Alright! Miss, can I ask you one more thing? Ah Zhu sighed and asked cautiously.
"You say."
"Did you do this voluntarily? Are you happy? Ah Zhu smelled it, and this was what she cared about the most.
Jiang Rou didn't expect Ah Zhu to ask like this, and her eyes froze for a moment.
Voluntary is voluntary... As for being happy, the soul of the Chu family is still wandering, what qualifications does she have to be happy.
It's just that Jiang Rou still nodded lightly at Ah Zhu, she wanted to reassure Ah Zhu.
"That's good." Ah Zhu's voice was very soft, and he didn't say anything more.
That's it, since Miss insists on this, she has no choice, she can only try her best to help do what Miss wants to do. As long as the young lady can be happy.
Outside the window, another black shadow flashed by, bringing a breeze.
Jiang Rou instinctively looked out of the window, only to see two leaves falling from the window danglingly.
"What's wrong?" Ah Zhu looked at Jiang Rou looking out the window, and also looked out the window.
"Nothing."
Jiang Rou replied lightly and shook her head.
Looks like she's been thinking too much lately! There was obviously nothing outside, why did she always feel as if someone was staring at her behind her back.
