Yangning Hou Mansion Tatexiang Courtyard main room bright room.

Although Mrs. Xu said that the old lady was sick again in the afternoon and had no strength to speak at the moment, Chen Ying, who rushed back at a gallop, was not in a hurry at this time, but just sat in the bright room and did not rush into the west room. Seeing this scene, Mrs. Ma, who was originally anxious to try to stop people, was at a loss, but as soon as she asked, Chen Ying answered lightly.

"Since the old lady is resting, let's not bother for now. Hengzhi has already asked people to take the post to the Tai Hospital, and when the people come, it will not be too late for us to accompany that Imperial Doctor Lu in. Seeing Mrs. Ma, Chen Ying nodded curtly, and then glanced at the restless Mrs. Xu, as if she didn't care very much, and asked, "I heard that the third girl just stayed here for a while before going back to eat, what about the other little ones?" Although some of our family are calling, but my grandmother is sick, and they are not there to be younger generations, how can this be true? ”

"It's the old lady who needs quiet here, so she specially ordered them not to use it." Although they are husband and wife, Mrs. Xu always has an indescribable fear in front of Chen Ying, and at this time she reluctantly explained again, and when she saw a girl leading Chen Lan into the door, she was immediately relieved, and quickly changed the topic and said to Chen Lan, "Why don't you rest well?" I tossed you for most of the night last night, and the old lady said before that you don't have to come, but you kid just won't listen. ”

Chen Lan knew that this was just Mrs. Xu having nothing to say, so he first stepped forward to bow to Chen Ying and Mrs. Ma, and Mrs. Xu, and after standing up straight, he said, "There is nothing to do in the house after dinner, so come over and see the situation of the old lady." Besides, so many things happened outside today, and the third uncle rushed back from the yamen with all kinds of opportunities, not to mention that I am at home? ”

Although Chen Lan's words were reasonable, Chen Ying felt that she was mocking herself when she heard it, and her eyes suddenly froze. It's just that he has seen too many clues from the expressions of Mrs. Xu and Mrs. Ma, and he is very sure at this time, so he naturally doesn't want to entangle with a junior, so he ordered Chen Lan to sit down with a slight smile. Several people sat in the bright room and talked in a low voice, and the tea in the cups changed cup after cup, until finally it was indifferent, and someone outside finally reported that Imperial Doctor Lu was coming.

This time, unlike the morning matter, Chen Lan and Mrs. Ma and Mrs. Xu avoided the east room together. Because these two are aunts, Chen Lan can't check anything through the crack in the door curtain, and he can't even hear the sound of the voice over there, so he can only hope that the green calyx and jade peony will guard the Zhu family well - after all, it is useless for Mother Zheng to stay in the mansion at this moment, and she left the house with Steward Zheng in the afternoon, and now the most reliable people are only the two big girls.

"I don't know what about that Imperial Doctor Lu, I haven't heard of his name before......" Mrs. Ma thought that when she came this afternoon, Chen Lan was sitting next to the Zhu family, listening and relaying the words of the old lady, she was shocked when she heard that Chen Jiu was also involved in the mutual market fraud case in Datong, Xuanfu, and couldn't help but become impatient again at this time, "Third girl, is that doctor reliable or not?" If it is reliable, it is better to invite someone to live at home, it is better than going to ask for a doctor twice in three days, third brother and sister, don't you say? ”

Mrs. Xu unconsciously glanced at Chen Lan, and saw that she also looked over, her face was also deeply helpless, and she could only sigh softly. Now that the King of Jin sees that the momentum is not right, with Chen Ying's sex, he should not send Chen Xi to the Jin Palace, even so, the marriage with the Luo family may have to be brought back to the table, and the previous quarrel with Aunt Luo is afraid that it will come to an end, and the old lady is so sick at this juncture, why is she not the most anxious? But her mother's family, Guangning Bofu, is too busy to take care of herself, and her son is still young, not only can he not rely on it, but he also needs her protection!

"Second aunt, no matter what, this matter must be approved by the third uncle."

Chen Lan knocked Mrs. Ma's full grumbling back into her stomach with a word, and she continued to sit there patiently and wait, until the sound of sending people out came from outside, and they stood up almost at the same time. Mrs. Ma walked quickly to the door, opened the curtain and looked at it, and when she saw that no one was there, she walked out first. Seeing this, Chen Lan hurriedly stepped forward to pick up Mrs. Xu.

"Three Girls ......"

"Third aunt, who can be called a doctor, she will never fail to see the old lady's current situation. The old lady is like this, we have to cheer ourselves up, and we can't be underestimated. My fourth brother is also not yet at the age of being alone, so he can't leave me, and the sixth brother is still young, so he can't leave you. ”

Mrs. Xu was shocked when she heard this, looking at Chen Lan's calm expression, she suddenly remembered that her son was still protected by an adult like her, but Chen Lan, who was only fourteen years old, still had to look at Chen Yan, and couldn't help but have an indescribable feeling in her heart, so she nodded heavily for a long time, and unconsciously patted her hand gently.

At this moment, they are at least sympathetic.

When Mrs. Xu and Chen Lan came out together, Chen Ying also happened to open the curtain and cross the threshold into the room, his face looked like water, but his heart was filled with a sense of victorious happiness. In the room just now, although he was extremely respectful, he also deliberately pointed out a few things, and seeing that Zhu Shi showed a fierce light but did not say a word, he knew that this time her fangs were really broken. When it was time to send Imperial Physician Lu out, Imperial Physician Lu whispered to him that this must be a small stroke, and the old lady should not have the strength to speak, but that she could not speak for a short time, and he finally gave birth to an indescribable sense of relief.

When he came back this time, the emperor naturally wanted to borrow his ferocity when he suppressed the barbarian rebellion in Yunnan, even if Ding Wei would inevitably win the favor, but if he let the Zhu family die like this, it would be difficult to eliminate the hatred in his heart, and it would ruin his reputation. That being the case, the current situation is ideal! Let that vicious old woman watch everything she has be eaten away little by little, and the pain of cutting flesh with a blunt knife is the real retribution!

Therefore, Chen Ying glanced at Mrs. Ma, who was anxiously coming forward, and then glanced at Mrs. Xu and Chen Lan who were standing together, and then said with a straight face: "Doctor Lu said that the old lady's illness is very bad, which shows that it was delayed in the afternoon!" Although it is an old mistake that has always been made, after all, it is an old person, how can it be so neglected? Also, there are too few people in the Tatexiang Academy, there are two fewer first-class girls, and the second- and third-class ones are either young or don't know how to serve at all, or transfer some skilled hands to serve, at most there are fewer people around us! ”

Sure enough, it came!

Chen Lan's heart tightened, and he quietly and gently dragged Mrs. Xu, and both of them were silent and did not speak. And Mrs. Ma was eyelids jumped, and then forced a smile: "What the third brother said is that I said this to the third brother and sister a few days ago. When I go back, I will be at Ziningju, and I can always pick out two or three suitable people to serve the old lady. ”

At this moment, there was a sudden commotion outside, followed by a girl's voice: "Third master, second lady and third lady, the door reported that the fourth young master's car had just arrived at the West Corner Gate." ”

As soon as these words came out, Chen Lan's color changed slightly, and he couldn't help but tighten his hand holding Mrs. Xu. Chen Ying was stunned and immediately said angrily: "Call people in!" The old lady was sick, and he had the heart to wander out until so late before coming back! ”

Mrs. Xu saw that something was wrong, and hurriedly persuaded beside her: "Master, don't be so angry, maybe something is ......."

"What's the matter? After getting out of the school, we should go home, wandering outside during the night fast, if we are caught by the people patrolling the city of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, wouldn't it be a loss for our family? Chen Ying interrupted Mrs. Xu's words with a cold snort, and said angrily, "This grandmother is still lying on the bed when she is sick, he doesn't come back to visit and accompany her, but runs to the outside field, what kind of rule is this?" ”

At this time, even Mrs. Ma saw Chen Ying's aggressive momentum, only thinking that the long house had gained momentum for a while, and now it was just right to lose face and lose power, so she was happy to watch the jokes on the side. Mrs. Xu was willing to help say a few words, but in the face of Chen Ying's too sharp gaze, she was a little afraid for a while. And Chen Lan had expected this as early as when Chen Ying suddenly rushed back, and when she saw that the room was silent, she opened her mouth softly.

"Third uncle, fourth brother went out this evening, the old lady knows."

"The old lady knows? The old lady can't even speak, and she still has the kung fu to take care of the affairs of the younger generations? Chen Ying suddenly turned her head to stare at Chen Lan, and a thought flashed in her heart in an instant-could it be that Chen Lan sent Chen Yan out to do something? Thinking of this, there was a little ridicule in his eyes, "I know that you, as a sister, have always protected Xiaosi, but what time is it now, even if the old lady agreed, she didn't let him wander around outside during the night fast, right?" Tell me, where has he gone? ”

Seeing Chen Ying's gaze coming, Mrs. Ma and Mrs. Xu, who didn't know where Chen Yan had gone, just frowned separately, while Green Calyx and Jade Peony didn't dare to look directly at the seeping gaze, and their faces were full of anxiety with their heads down. Just as Chen Ying turned to Chen Lan again, and the question on her face became more and more intense, another voice came from the courtyard outside.

"The third master, the second lady, the third lady, and the fourth young master were sent back by the prince of Weiguo!"

As soon as she heard the five words of the prince of Weiguo, Chen Ying's face suddenly changed slightly, and she glanced at Chen Lan with a scrutinizing gaze, and then stepped forward without saying a word and opened the curtain and went out. Chen Lan vaguely heard Chen Ying ask a few words outside the door, and then there was the sound of boots trampling on the ground, thinking that he had gone out to meet someone, and while he was relieved, his heart couldn't help but throb a little.

Most of the things that have already been done have already been done. She was helpless to take this step with unpredictable results, and she had repeatedly warned Chen Yan not to tell Luo Xu that the Zhu family was sick and couldn't speak, but Luo Xu personally sent Chen Yan back, he should have either guessed that something was wrong, or had already said something from Chen Yan's mouth, is this really a natural ancient way?
