"I hope Miss Jiayu can marry Pei Yuanxiu."
After saying this, I saw a hint of surprise flashing in Ao Zhi's eyes, as if I couldn't believe that I would say that, but when he was staring at my eyes, in just a moment, the surprise disappeared.
He seemed to really see the answer in my eyes.
Then, he raised his hands and bowed gently to me: "Thank you Miss Yan."
I smiled and said, "You don't have to be polite. To achieve a marriage is also to accumulate merit. I have not done much good things and I am still looking forward to living a stable and peaceful life in the future."
Ao Zhi just heard this sentence as a joke. He smiled faintly. At this moment, the two girls also walked in front of us, stopped three or four steps away, and whispered: "Miss Yan, are we going back?"
Then I said to Ao Zhi: "Criminal, I'll say goodbye and I'll bother you tomorrow."
"Where will I have to bother Miss Yan tomorrow."
After saying that, he and I walked away.
I didn't say anything along the way, so I took the two girls to the inner courtyard. But after a while, I passed outside Pei Yuanxiu's study. From a distance, I happened to see Han Ruoshi pushing the door and walking out from inside. A pretty little maid stood outside. When she saw her, she immediately shouted in a low voice: "Madam."
Han Ruoshi's spring willow-like eyebrows frowned: "What are you doing?"
The little maid said timidly: "Miss Nangong asked me to come."
"She? What did she ask you to come here for?"
"Miss Nangong said that she felt a little uncomfortable and wanted to ask the young master to come over."
"uncomfortable?"
Han Ruoshi frowned: "She is uncomfortable? What's wrong with her?"
Nangong Lizhu was brought to Jinling by Nangong Jinhong during the war. At such a crisis, she naturally didn't care about taking the people around her. She was transferred here to serve her, of course, Jinling Mansion, the servants of the Han family. Therefore, when the little maid faced Han Ruoshi, she was very cowardly and said in a low voice: "I don't know, but I just heard her crying in the room, and then she said she was uncomfortable and asked me to come and invite the young master over."
Han Ruoshi bit her lower lip tightly.
After a while, she made a gentle smile, gently brushed her sleeves, and then said, "Just tell her that the young master is busy and can't take time. When the young master finishes his work later, my wife will--"
Before she could finish her words, Pei Yuanxiu in the study seemed to have heard the voice outside and asked, "What's wrong?"
Han Ruoshi hurriedly said, "It's nothing, a trivial matter."
She said this, and there was no movement in the study room, but the next moment, the door opened from inside. Pei Yuanxiu walked out and saw the little maid standing at the door, and then said, "What a trivial matter?"
Before the little maid could speak, Han Ruoshi hurriedly smiled and said, "That's right, Miss Nangong feels a little uncomfortable."
"Oh?" Pei Yuanxiu frowned slightly: "Where is uncomfortable?"
"I don't know either. This girl came over without asking clearly, so I was about to call the doctor over and take a look."
Pei Yuanxiu did not speak to her anymore, but turned to look at the little maid: "Is it serious?"
The little maid thought about it and looked at Han Ruoshi's expression. Her head was buried lowered, and her voice was as thin as a mosquito: "I, I don't know. Miss Nangong just locked herself in the room and cried. When I asked, she asked me to come over and invite the young master to come over."
This is actually ambiguous, but a man cannot ignore it as long as he is not a stern heart.
I immediately saw Pei Yuanxiu frowning slightly, and Han Ruoshi's face lowered slightly, and she couldn't see the expression on her face clearly.
However, she reacted quickly, and immediately turned around and said to Pei Yuanxiu gently: "Yuanxiu, if Miss Nangong is really uncomfortable, why don't you go over and take a look. After all, she is unfamiliar with the place. If she can't rely on you, who else can she rely on?"
Pei Yuanxiu said: "You——"
Han Ruoshi smiled softly: "You can't let others say that I'll keep you from letting you go."
Pei Yuanxiu sighed lightly and said, "I will feel relieved if you can be so open-minded."
“…”
"I'm just afraid that you can't get over it and you're sick again."
Han Ruoshi lowered her head and smiled shyly, but her eyes slowly turned red, and she said softly: "If Zitong hadn't been successful, how could I be angry with her?"
Pei Yuanxiu's face froze and he said, "Don't mention this matter again."
“…”
"I'll go over and take a look first, come here later. The sweet soup you asked them to prepare before-"
Han Ruoshi immediately raised her head and opened her watery eyes widened at him, as if she was expecting something. Pei Yuanxiu paused for a moment and said, "Let them prepare, I'll come over and use it with you later."
Han Ruoshi then smiled and said, "Okay."
Pei Yuanxiu turned to the little maid and said, "Let's go."
The two left.
Han Ruoshi stood at the door of the study, watching Pei Yuanxiu's back disappear on the path, and then turned around and walked into the study. I wondered if it was because it was too late at this moment, or the light in the study was too dim. The moment she turned around, I seemed to see her face darkened, and even in such a night, there was an indescribable, dangerous murderous intent.
It was not until she closed the door that I walked around the path here.
The two girls followed me all the time, silent. They probably knew that the intrigues and jealous things in the big family should not ask too much. They quietly sent me to the gate of the inner courtyard and did not go further.
My steps were quite relaxed, but I couldn't feel relaxed at all. I walked back to the room with such an almost entangled mood. Before I could sit down, I heard a strange noise coming from Han Zitong's room, and I hurriedly walked in.
As soon as I entered the room, I saw that she had woken up. Her face was as pale as paper, she barely supported her upper body, and straightened her arms to reach the cup on the small table beside the bed.
But she had been sick for so long and had slept for several days, and had long lost strength. Her arms slipped softly, and she fell down in a mess again, almost taking the little bite down.
I hurried forward: "Be careful!"
While saying that, he helped Xiaoji firmly and looked down at her: "Do you want to drink water?"
She was sweating coldly and couldn't even speak, and she was left with only breath. She nodded at me. I picked up the cup and poured half a cup of warm water, then returned to the bed and sat down, helped her up, and put the cup of water to her lips.
She was probably too thirsty and drank the water in just a few seconds.
I lowered my head and wiped the water leaking from her neck and asked, "Do you still want it?"
She shook her head depressedly, I gently put her back on the bed, put the water cup back on the table, looked back at her pale, bloodless face, and I asked softly, "Are you a little healing?"
She didn't look at me, just asked, "How long have I been sleeping?"
"It's been several days."
“…”
"Does it feel uncomfortable?"
“…a little.”
I didn't expect that someone who was so stubborn would have such a frank time. Maybe it was really uncomfortable, so I walked over and sat back to the bed, lowered my head and asked, "Do you want to eat? Do you want to drink some water?"
She shook her head.
I sighed and took one of her hands. She had been stiff for a moment. I didn't know what I was going to do, but I saw me put her hand on my thighs and gently kneading her arm. Suddenly, her originally stalemate expression softened and her breathing became longer.
I have been sick like this and have been lying for a long time. I know that after a long time, I will feel so uncomfortable that I can’t say it. Kneading and relaxing like this is good for people.
She looked at me for a while and asked softly: "Are you taking care of me these days?"
I didn't answer, but looked down at her so thin that her back was showing bone shape, and said calmly: "Pei Yuanxiu has also come in to see you, and Miss Ao Jiayu."
"..." Her throat seemed to choke and asked, "Where is my sister?"
I didn't say anything.
Feeling the arms pressed under her fingers hesitating for a moment, the paleness and weakness on her face became more obvious, as if she didn't want her to wake up, she slowly closed her eyes.
I said at this time: "It's good that you wake up. The medicine has been delivered long ago, but it's too hot and I haven't given you drink it. Now it's a lot colder. Do you want to drink a little?"
She didn't speak or moved.
I said, "Drink some."
“…”
"At least take a sip. I'll explain to the doctor, otherwise I'd think I'd dumped the medicine and won't give it to you."
“…”
"You are always so sick and can't get up. It's with me again, so I have to take care of it."
“…”
She smiled bitterly, tears flashed in the corners of her eyes, and she choked for a while and said, "Who really cares about me?"
“…”
I didn't say anything, but rubbed her arms for a while, then put them back, got up and said, "Put the medicine on the table. If you want to drink it, just drink a little. Only after you drink the medicine can your health be better."
“…”
"In two days, the house will hold a wedding."
I heard her breath suffocate.
I pretended not to see her face suddenly darkened, and said calmly: "You are the second lady of the Han family after all. You can't really be sick and not show up, right?"
“…”
"I'm tired, I'm going to rest."
After saying that, he turned around and walked out.
However, I did not immediately return to my bedroom and lay down to rest, but stopped at her door. I heard the sound of gritting teeth and panting inside and gasping slightly heavier, as if she was supporting herself to do something. After a while, I heard a squeak. Someone pushed open the window.
Then, it drizzled, and the sound of soup being poured into the flower table outside the window.
