Chapter 244: Guilt

Liu Man'er touched her body and forgot to bring a knife, at this time, someone outside the door threw a dagger, Liu Man'er looked at the dagger at the door, her eyelashes were lowered, and her outstretched hand was slightly stunned, but she still quickly picked up the dagger and used it to cut the rope on Ye He and Cao'er.

"Cao'er, what's wrong with you?" Seeing Cao'er's pale face, almost falling to the ground, Liu Man'er hurriedly hugged her, gently patted her back, and said, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, my sister is here." ”

"Sister." Cao'er called her in a gossamer voice, Liu Man'er saw her like this, her heart was extremely painful, she scolded angrily, hugged Cao'er, and asked Ye He, "Xiaohe, are you okay?" ”

"I'm fine." Ye He shook his head and said, "It's Cao'er, she seems to have a fever." ”

"This kid has suffered so much before, it's because my sister is not good and didn't take good care of you."

Liu Man'er was extremely distressed when she saw her sick appearance, thinking that she had not had enough food and clothing since she was a child, and as the youngest daughter in the family in the past, she was often ignored at home, but now when she came to her side, in addition to being able to eat, she did not give her too much care, on the contrary, she often comforted herself very sensibly.

The more she thought about it, the more guilty she felt in her heart, and her voice couldn't help but soften for a while, thinking that she had always been timid, and comforted her and said: "Don't be afraid, my sister took you home, it's been a day and a night, you must be hungry, right?" If you want to eat, my sister will go back and cook it for you herself. ”

Cao'er shook her head, just reached out and hugged Liu Man'er tightly, leaned her head on Liu Man'er's shoulder, and said, "I want to eat boiled eggs." ”

"Okay." Liu Man'er nodded in agreement, "What else do you want to eat besides boiled eggs?" ”

"No need." Cao'er shook her head slightly, she hugged Liu Man'er's neck, and said: "Thank you, sister, I never thought that someone would be so good to me, even my father and mother have never hugged me like this, every time I see Tianchen holding my sister and coquettish, in fact, I am so envious, I didn't expect that I could also hold my sister and let my sister make boiled eggs." ”

"It's just a boiled egg, what's that?" When Liu Man'er heard Cao'er say this, her heart became more and more uncomfortable, she had never hugged her before, so she didn't know that she was so thin, light, several meters tall, but it seemed that she was not as heavy as Ye Tianchen.

"For me, I am already very satisfied with a hard-boiled egg, I think the hard-boiled egg is very fragrant, very fragrant, and it is the best thing I have ever eaten in my life." Cao'er whispered: "Sister, you have been good to me since you were a child, do you remember?" In the past, every time my mother boiled eggs, you would always take several of them regardless of the hot ones, and then be chased by your father and mother, but you always couldn't forget to stuff one to me secretly. ”

Originally, in her mind, the memory of the original owner was not so clear to Liu Man'er, but when she heard Cao'er say this, this matter gradually became clear in Liu Man'er's mind.

The boiled eggs mentioned by Cao'er are just "oligopolized eggs", and the so-called "oligopolized eggs" are eggs that are not fertilized and cannot hatch chicks.

Every time the hen hugs the nest, Dong will always take out the accumulated twenty eggs for the hen to hatch the chicks, and then wait for a period of time, she will take advantage of the evening, light a candle in the dark, and put the eggs against the light of the candle, look carefully to see if there are black spots in the eggs, with this, she can distinguish which can hatch chicks and which cannot.

Every year Dong's is like this, even if Liu Man'er is stupid, she also knows Dong's method, the eggs used by hens to incubate eggs at home, even if Liu Man'er is bold, she doesn't dare to take it indiscriminately, so she always hopes that there will be more of this kind of widowed eggs, and every time she comes forward with her eyes, Dong told her that this black spot is the mouth of the chick, Liu Man'er believes in this statement, and she still doesn't know if it's true or not.

But this kind of oligo-egg can not be given to children, Dong they believe that after eating this kind of egg, they will not be able to give birth to children, but on the contrary, this egg is boiled in water and fragrant, for children who lack food and clothing, it is a rare delicacy.

In the past, Liu Man'er would take advantage of their unpreparedness every time and steal several of them, even if it was hot, even if it was sometimes hit by the old willow's pipe, she did not hesitate to do it. She has always been stingy, but she loves her sister.

It is also a hard life for grass, she was born like her own name, like grass mustard, easy to be ignored, when she was born, the family was already overwhelmed, she has always been well-behaved, silent, when she was born, she even cried rarely cried, and occasionally cried humming and chirping like a kitten.

With Liu Man'er in the family, the troublemaker, the father's eyes will inevitably be more on Liu Man'er's body, and in contrast, the eyes on the grass are very few, but the well-behaved Cao'er never complains.

Thinking of this, Liu Man'er couldn't help but feel distressed, she was also busy during this time, although she was given a worry-free life, but she was not given the care she deserved.

Although there are not many members of the Ye family, most of them are children, even the Fang family is an old child who is not worrying, although he loves all of them, but under the burden, there is less burden on everyone, Cao'er has always been well-behaved and never let her worry, so she ignored her again.

"I'm sorry, Cao'er." Liu Man'er thought of this, thinking of her previous well-behaved, always lowered her head and smiled shyly, her heart felt sour, as if someone pricked her heart with a very thin needle, although it was not very painful, but it made people feel uncomfortable.

"Sister-in-law, what should these people do?" Ye He asked in the back.

"Let them go and let them go home on their own." Liu Man'er said that she was not in the mood to care about these things now.

After Ye He cut the ropes on these children, Liu Man'er walked outside with the grass in her arms, and Ye He followed behind her, as for the matter here, she believed that Ye Yuan would deal with it, so she didn't care too much.

Walking out of the alley, her horse was still parked on the side of the road not far from the alley, circling around the tethered tree, Ye Yuan's horse was still parked there, but with Ye He and them here, he would probably not appear.

"Xiaohe, wait a minute." Liu Man'er put down the grass, rode his horse around the street, and soon found two palanquin drivers.

"It was so cold last night, you two must have contracted the wind cold, so let's go back in a sedan chair today." Liu Man'er said and hugged Cao'er onto the sedan chair, and told Ye He: "Take good care of her." ”

"Hmm." Ye He nodded obediently, and after getting into the sedan chair, he sat inside and hugged the grass tightly.

Liu Man'er nodded, turned over and got on the horse again, still put Shuai Shuai in the basket, said the address of his home in the ears of the two palanquins, and after paying, he went to the street to find a doctor.

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, the hospital was not open, but there was still a doctor in the hospital.

This time Cao'er is very sick, it can be said that it is menacing, after returning home, she has been unconscious, Liu Man'er is in a hurry, for fear that something will happen to her, this ancient medical conditions are not developed, many girls eleven or twelve years old get sick and die everywhere, Liu Man'er thinks more and more worried, and takes care of her in the hospital bed for a whole day.

At night, because she had to take care of Rourou, Cao'er could only be taken care of by Ye He and some servants, and when she returned to her room, Liu Man'er was still a little relieved, and when she hugged Rourou, she was also worried.

Ye Yuan didn't know when she came to her back, Liu Man'er was also startled when she saw it, she looked at her door, and it was obviously closed well.

"When did you come here?"

"I've been here a long time ago." Ye Yuan stretched out his hand and grabbed Liu Man'er: "I've been in the house all the time, but you have been holding the child and ignoring me like this." ”

"I don't have confidence now, you can ignore me when I'm by your side, then I'm not by your side, you must not even think about me."

"yes, I don't miss you." Liu Man'er didn't refute, she smiled, a little helpless, "You see, I'm so busy every day, there are so many things at home, not only to take care of the lives of my family, but also to take care of their hearts, so that they don't go crooked, so that they can grow up healthy and happy, in addition to these, I also have to be busy with business things, where do I have time to think about you." ”

"I suddenly felt that I was quite tired from the day, and it seemed that I had to find someone to help me share it." Liu Man'er put the child in the cradle, and while pushing the cradle, she said unintentionally:

"You said it was a coincidence, in addition to seeing you that day, I actually saw Young Master Yan, Young Master Yan is still as white as jade, handsome and elegant, and more importantly, he has not yet married a wife, and he is also a good hand at doing business, if he can take care of my business in the future, then I can also take good care of the family."

Ye Yuan heard Liu Man'er say this, laughed, and said, "You have said it, Young Master Yan has not yet married a wife, and you have already married." ”

Hearing Ye Yuan's pretended hearty voice, Liu Man'er smiled again and said: "What's this, I heard that before our Great Liang, there was an emperor who fell in love with his daughter-in-law, I don't believe that his daughter-in-law will be innocent, but it's not you and me." ”

"You and me?" When Ye Yuan heard this, his voice changed a little, he broke Liu Man'er's body, looked directly at her, and said, "I don't allow you, I don't allow you to talk to him, you and me, you are not allowed to talk to anyone!" ”

"Ha, then according to what you say, don't I have to go to the house?" Liu Man'er snorted, raised her eyebrows, and sat down on her bed with a big grin.

"I allow you to ...... with me," Ye Yuan sat beside her and whispered.
