Aunt Ding couldn't afford to get sick.

In the beginning, most of it was pretended. Aunt Ding just wanted to alarm Xie Jun and make him soft-hearted. Unexpectedly, Xie Jun was ruthless and ruthless, and he never came to Lanxiang Academy.

Aunt Ding went from a fake illness to a real illness, often holding her chest and crying out in pain. We weep during the day, and often cry and refuse to sleep at night. Tossing made the maids around them look depressed one by one.

Especially Wen Qi, she boiled medicine and fed medicine every day, and comforted Aunt Ding, who was living in tears. was boiled thin, and his face was gloomy.

Xie Jun entered the Lanxiang Courtyard and saw Wen Qi first, and immediately became disgusted: "How did you become so ugly?" ”

Wen Qi was aggrieved and embarrassed, and she was about to cry.

Xie Jun is the most face-saving, and even the little maids who serve him closely must be handsome and likable.

Aunt Ding is a beauty, and Wen Qi is also a pretty girl. In the past, I had a little thought about Xie Jun. It's a pity that Aunt Ding is quite jealous, Wen Qi didn't dare to reveal this thought, at most she secretly sent Qiu Bo behind Aunt Ding's back to Xie Jun.

Now that Xie Jun is disgusted like this, all the thoughts in Wen Qi's heart are like bubbles, and all of them have come to naught.

……

Xie Jun stepped into Aunt Ding's room, and a strong smell of bitter medicine came to his face.

Xie Jun frowned, and after seeing Aunt Ding, who was emaciated and haggard, his brows furrowed even tighter: "Hanxiang, why did you make yourself like this?" ”

Aunt Ding was about to get up and throw herself into Xie Jun's arms to cry, when she heard such ruthless and unrighteous words, she was so angry that her heart and lungs were about to explode, and she immediately covered her face and cried: "Yes, yes, I am now old and decrepit, and I am unsightly." Master, let's go find some spring peach and autumn chrysanthemum! Why bother with my disgusting face! ”

As soon as Aunt Ding cried, Xie Jun immediately softened a little, stepped forward and sat on the edge of the bed, and hugged Aunt Ding's thin shoulders: "I feel sorry for you, where is the disgust." ”

"Don't cry! I'm so sick, I can't toss my body like this anymore. Otherwise, when will it be good? ”

Aunt Ding cried more and more heartbreakingly, and her hands tightly grasped Xie Jun's clothes: "You have no conscience." I've been sick for so long, and you don't come to see me. Be merry and happy every day, spoil those two, where do you still put me in your eyes......"

Xie Jun is the best at coaxing people, and he came as soon as he opened his mouth with sweet words: "They are just boring things, where can they match a finger of yours." ”

"After a few months, you'll be well and you'll be freed. So I sent them both away. ”

Aunt Ding cried, raised her head, and looked incredulous: "You still want to keep me?" ”

"You did something wrong, how can you be worthy of Ming Niang if you don't punish him heavily!" Xie Jun didn't relented this time, and said in a deep voice: "Grounded for half a year, not a single day." ”

Aunt Ding was like being struck by lightning, and her slender body was trembling like a pear blossom in the wind.

"Xie Jun! In your heart, am I not as important as Ming Niang? Aunt Ding asked with a trembling voice.

A trace of impatience flashed in Xie Jun's eyes: "Ming Niang is our daughter, you are a mother, you have to compete with your own daughter!" ”

Aunt Ding's heart was like an ice cellar, and it was completely cold.

Xie Jun let go of Aunt Ding, stood up, threw down the sentence "Hello, I'll come to see you when I'm free", and left with his sleeves brushed up.

Aunt Ding's whole body was cold, and she subconsciously wrapped her arms around herself, tears rolling down like raindrops.

The original trace of guilt towards Xie Mingxi was replaced by hatred.

It must have been Xie Mingxi who instigated and instigated Xie Jun in front of him, so Xie Jun would centrifuge with himself! It must be so! knew that there would be this day, and she should not have given birth to this disobedient and unfilial daughter back then!

……

"Miss Qiyu, the master went to the Lanxiang Courtyard today. I heard that I had a quarrel with Aunt Ding, and I broke up unhappily. ”

Congyu collects news from the house every day, and as soon as Xie Mingxi returns to the house, he immediately comes forward to report it.

Xie Mingxi hummed casually.

Congyu hesitated for a moment, and then asked in a low voice: "Miss, Aunt Ding has been sick for more than a month, and she has not seen any improvement. Won't Miss go to visit Lanxiang Courtyard once? ”

Aunt Ding is sick, and Xie Mingxi has not visited, which is not good.

Xie Mingxi raised his eyes and asked lightly, "What's wrong?" Could it be that there are people in the house gossiping? ”

Congyu didn't dare to hide it, and replied in a low voice: "There are indeed some servant women who have nothing to do and chew their tongues. ”

"It doesn't matter. The mouth is on their faces, and it is up to them to say whatever they want. Xie Mingxi obviously didn't take this matter to heart, and said casually: "Besides, if I go, my aunt will only get sicker." ”

Isn't it ridiculous to go to visit again if you have already torn your face?

Thinking about it, Aunt Ding, who was sick, didn't want to see her.

Congyu had no choice but to stop persuading each other.

Ye Qiuniang had already prepared dinner, and at this time, she brought it over and put the meals on the table one by one. As he leaned over, a touch of silver slipped off his left wrist.

Xie Mingxi glanced at it.

It is a silver bracelet with a delicate color. The price of this kind of silver bracelet is not high, and the maids of Xie Mansion often wear it.

As a cook, it is inconvenient to carry ornaments on your hands. Ye Qiuniang dresses simply on weekdays, and it is the first time she wears a bracelet on her hand.

Ye Qiuniang's face flushed, and she quickly retracted her hand.

Xie Mingxi pretended to smile casually and asked, "This silver bracelet is exquisitely made." ”

Ye Qiuniang's cheeks were slightly hot, but she didn't hide it: "My cousin came to see me today, and he gave me this silver bracelet." I put it on casually. ”

The cousin in Ye Qiuniang's mouth is Zhao Yang, the lover who used Ye Qiuniang as a chess piece in his previous life. Since Ye Qiuniang worked as a cook in Xie Mansion, Zhao Yang always came to Ye Qiuniang once or twice a month.

Xie Mingxi's eyes flashed, and he asked casually: "The cousin you are talking about, could it be that Zhao Yang who worked as a guard in the Linjiang Palace?" ”

Ye Qiuniang has always been down-to-earth and generous, but when she mentioned Zhao Yang, she revealed a little shyness of the girl's family: "Exactly." After my father died, my mother was sick all the time, thanks to my cousin's constant care. ”

After a pause, he whispered again: "Don't hide it, Miss, my mother's condition has worsened recently. I asked a doctor to see a doctor and prescribed medicine. It's just that ginseng tablets need to be used in the prescription......"

The price of ginseng is high, that is, two ginseng tablets a day, which is a staggering number in a month.

The Ye family's foundation has long been hollowed out, and now it is all supported by Ye Qiuniang's salary of ten taels of silver per month. Ye Mu was seriously ill, and she was overstretched again.

The younger brother Ye Jingzhi is now studying in Boyu Academy, and his restraint is also very high.

Thinking of what Zhao Yang said in the daytime, Ye Qiuniang hesitated for a while, but she was embarrassed to say to Xie Mingxi.

Xie Mingxi looked at Ye Qiuniang: "What do you have to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it." ”

Ye Qiuniang's heart trembled, and she knelt down fiercely: "My mother needs silver to treat her illness." My cousin said that Linjiang Wangfu was hiring a cook at a high price, and he had already mentioned it to the steward and asked me to give it a try. ”
