Forty-one: decoction

In the afternoon, the old lady found Su Yao to Chang Xizhai and asked how things were, Liu He's child was not saved, but his life was saved, which was a good thing.

"Pity my unborn grandson." The old lady looked sad, and took the decoction brought by Su Yao, "I heard that this time it is the maid next to the eleventh girl who sacrifices her life to protect her?" You have to make good arrangements, don't let outsiders gossip, and it doesn't hurt to give more money. ”

Su Yao nodded.

"What do the people in the government say? It's been a night, don't tell me they didn't find out anything? ”

"My son sent people to ask twice, and they said that there were too many people on the street last night, and there was nothing special about those two gangsters, and it was not easy for a group of ordinary people to get together."

The old lady snorted coldly: "The royal money to feed them, I don't know what they want!" ”

"Yes, yes, yes." Seeing that the old lady was about to get up, Su Yao hurriedly stepped forward to help.

"By the way, I think it's weird." The old lady stood still and turned to look at him, "That villain didn't pick last night when there was no one in the backyard, it is estimated that there is a thief in the house, and he doesn't steal anything but hurt people, it is estimated that he went to the fourth lady." ”

"What the mother said is that the son has already sent someone to investigate this matter, don't worry."

"That's it, I'm tired." The old lady raised her hand, "You go down." ”

When I came out of Chang Xizhai, there was only a ray of sunshine in the sky, and it was cloudy for a whole day, and it was finally brighter.

As soon as he turned the corner, he saw Su Yunyao and Su Qianyao and the four sisters hurrying in the direction of Tianning Xuan, so he asked out loud, "Where are you going?" ”

Several people stood still, first greeted him, and then Su Qianyao replied, "The twelfth sister is worried about the fourth lady, and a few of us are also worried, so we want to go to Tianningxuan to see the fourth lady together." ”

Su Yao nodded with satisfaction, approached and looked down at Su Wanyao.

She had never been vocal and much like her mother, her temperament and appearance were very similar, and her body was not good, but now she was frightened, and everyone had a kind of hostility, like a frightened fawn.

Only then did Su Yao feel that he rarely felt sorry for this youngest daughter, but her sisters treated her so well.

When his father did this, Su Yao was a little ashamed.

"Wan'er is not in good health, you sisters have to take good care of her."

Several people should be in unison.

Su Yao said again, "I never expected what happened last night, thanks to you who are still thinking about your sister, you have to always respect and love each other so much." ”

After a long time, Su Wanyao raised her head, looking at her father with a somewhat complicated look, and after a while, she spoke, "Daddy, can I go to see my mother with my daughter?" ”

There was a burst of embarrassment, and Su Yao originally planned to return to Yu Hongyuan. But since the youngest daughter had already asked, even if he didn't want to go, he would say, "Daddy is just going to see your mother, and I happened to meet you, so let's go together." ”

It was rare for Su Wanyao to show a smile.

Liu He looked at the black ink-like decoction in her hand and was stunned, and the pain on her back shoulder from time to time reminded her that she was not dead, she was still alive.

After a sigh, Liu He put down the bowl in his hand and asked, "Qingyan, you have to go to Qinzhuxuan to see Wan'er, I can't get out of this door now, I'm afraid that she will be wronged and dare not say anything, and, how is Qingsi's injury?" ”

Because Qingsi was stabbed twice in the stomach, she had just escaped death at this time, and she was recuperating in bed, so Qingyan was solely responsible for taking care of Liu He.

"The slave knows that the lady is worried about the girl, so she sent someone to ask, and the Lisheng girl of Qinzhuxuan said that a few girls will come to see you in a while, Qingsi's injury is fine, and it will be good to raise it for a while, but it is the lady you, but you have to be raised." Qingyan said while holding up the box on the corner of the table on the side, "Liuyunzhai prescription just sent this, I heard that it is a century-old mountain ginseng, it is the marriage brought by the mother's family of the third lady, and when the lady's injury is raised, the slave maid will give you water to drink." ”

"Such an expensive thing." Liu He smiled self-deprecatingly, "Where did I get drunk?" The third lady is really generous, this old ginseng who married me was given to me like this. ”

Kang Jinglan's maiden family is in the medicinal herb business, and the second lady of the Su family, Fang Li's family, is an old friend, and the two families have unique insights into doing business, each has its own strengths, and the older generation does not deal with it, and their father's generation somehow got along.

Who can do this job-stealing thing? But the strange thing is here, Father Kang and Father Fang hit it off at first sight, and they also had a very good relationship with Kang Jinglan and Fang Li.

Qingyan felt that it was inappropriate, and handed the bowl of soup medicine to Liu He, wanting her to drink more or less, otherwise how could the wound be healed?

But Liu He's meaning is clear, his body is already like this, and it is too late to make amends, so why suffer that sin?

"Lady, look away, and our girl, you have to think about the twelve girls, drink a little more, and heal the injury quickly."

Women who have lost their children are very fragile and sensitive in their hearts, and Liu He is the same, she wanted to die, but Su Wanyao is still young, so she can't just leave it alone.

Liu He really listened to what Qingyan said, obediently took the decoction, and drank it all.

The medicine was bitter, Liu He trembled after drinking it, and almost spit it out, his little face was wrinkled, plus he was already weak, and he was sweating, and there was no trace of blood on his face and lips, which looked extremely pitiful.

The maid Yun'er beside Su Wanyao came in and reported, "Fourth lady, our girl is back, and the lord and the fifth girl, the ten girls, and the eleven girls are all here." ”

Liu He handed the bowl to Qingyan, and collapsed on the bed weakly, Qingyan hurriedly adjusted the soft pillow behind her after putting down the medicine bowl, so that she could lean more comfortably.

"How's your body?" Su Yao asked.

Liu Heqiang pulled out a smile and said, "Let the lord bother." ”

After Su Wanyao entered the house, she held Liu He's hand and looked at it carefully, and carefully pinched the handkerchief to wipe the sweat on her head.

Su Yao is not a person who doesn't feel sorry for his children, it's just that in the past, he paid too little attention to the two of them in Tianningxuan, but now that he sees it with his own eyes, he only feels uncomfortable in his heart, and the feeling of indebtedness makes him feel flustered.

"I will find out the person who harmed you, don't be too sad if the child is gone, take care of your illness is the main thing, these days Wan'er will live with Qian'er first, you can rest assured in Qinzhuxuan, save you from disturbing your illness."

"The Lord is thoughtful." Liu He coughed twice after speaking, and the startled Su Yao quickly stood up and tucked the quilt for her.

"The weather is getting colder and colder, and it is not good for recuperation, you have to take care of the four ladies."

Qingyan and Yun'er bowed their heads together.

"That's right." Liu He looked at Su Yunyao apologetically, "That Miss Lixi is a good person, she saved my life, if it weren't for her, I'm afraid I wouldn't be here." ”

At the mention of Li Xi, Su Yunyao felt sad again, but she still comforted, "You don't have to worry about it, just take care of your illness, otherwise Li Xi will not be able to live in peace." ”

"It's me who has caused her, and I'm sorry for her." Liu He coughed twice, held the handkerchief in his hand and covered his mouth, "Turn around and wait for her body to be better, I will personally go to burn incense and pray for her to help her be reincarnated as soon as possible, and in the next life, she will be a good person and will not have to suffer anymore." ”

"The kindness of the fourth lady Yun'er understands it." Su Yunyao's voice choked and said, "You take care of your illness, you don't have to worry about the twelfth sister with us." ”

"Okay, the fourth lady is not in good health, don't quarrel with her." Su Yao got up and said, "Let's go back." ”

In the evening, Su Ningyuan sent a whole cup of frosted millet cake, saying that Su Wanyao likes to eat this, and also sent a bacon bird's nest cup to Tianning Xuan to make up for the four ladies.

Qin Manhuai was also seriously ill, and he was not happy with the cold weather recently, and he encountered something one after another, and he couldn't hold it for a while, and he also collapsed.

When she got up early the next day, Su Yunyao and the others visited the old lady, and then went to Su Ning Yuan and served Qin Manhuai with a decoction.

The housekeeper's errand is not easy to do, originally Qin Manhuai thought that the Mid-Autumn Festival would be lively and lively, so he asked the maids and the family to go to the front yard to serve, and the fact that there were few people in the backyard was originally only known to the Su family, if it wasn't for the thieves inside, the villains outside would not dare to come in at all.

Although it was unintentional, this matter was also wrong with Qin Manhuai, although Su Yao and the old lady did not blame her, but after all, a child and a maid died, and the two survivors were wounded by stabs, Qin Manhuai felt guilty, and fell ill this time.

The emperor gave a leave during the Mid-Autumn Festival, and yesterday Su Yao took a leave on the grounds that there was something at home, but today he had to go.

Su Yunyao arranged for Lisheng to take some money to Lixi's house, and there was Lixi's younger brother who had not grown up at home, and her parents were farming, Lixi's grandfather was a handyman in the Su Mansion before his death, and later became half a housekeeper after being appreciated by Old Man Su, and then married a wife and had children, Lixi was sent to the Su family when he was young, and served by Su Yunyao, who had just remembered, and he could be regarded as finding a playmate for his peers.

Lixi's mother cried and fainted several times, but she couldn't blame others, she heard that her daughter was doing this to save people, and she felt proud in her heart, she only took half of the money, and let Lisheng take the rest back.

Over the years, their family has received a lot of help from Su Yunyao, and now that Li Xi is gone, they can't bite back, otherwise they are afraid that their daughter will know underground and will not close their eyes.

Lisheng didn't get the money back, but found a private school to teach, for the sake of Lixi's younger brother's future, he paid a part of it first, so that he could have some ink in the future and not rely on sweat to fill his stomach.

"Yingxiaju has been extremely quiet for the past two days, except for the second lady who went to Yu Hongyuan to visit the lord in the evening, the third girl and the seventh girl did not come out of the door." Lisheng whispered.

The moon was dark and the wind was high, Su Yunyao opened the partition window covered with Gaoli paper, and the cold wind entered the room at will.

"The turmoil is not settled, they naturally dare not publicize, and after a while, everyone forgets about it, they are like weeds, and the spring breeze blows and grows."
