Xia Qianqian didn't hear the hidden meaning of Xia Dingfeng's words. She only wanted Gu Changsheng to get better soon and live a good life.
Seeing her stunned expression and no reaction for a long time, Xia Dingfeng smiled and said nothing more. If he had a daughter, he would definitely send her to the Gu Mansion. Being a widow is better than being poor all your life!
…
Gu Changsheng fainted after getting on the carriage. Fortunately, this situation had happened many times before, and Qingtong was good at dealing with it. He took out the wooden board of the compartment, let Gu Changsheng lie flat in the carriage with his legs bent, and pulled him back to Gu's house.
Han Yuqing was embroidering in the warm room, and the "Lushan Picture" would be finished soon. Madam Gu and Liu watched her embroidering in the warm room, and praised her from time to time.
Suddenly hearing that Gu Changsheng had fainted, Mrs. Gu's face changed drastically and she hurried to the front yard.
Qing Tong had already come to the corridor in the front yard with Gu Changsheng on his back. Mrs. Gu burst into tears as soon as she saw him: "My son, what happened..."
"Madam, the young master fainted from coughing today." Qingtong said.
"Hurry, send him back to the room." Mrs. Gu followed Qingtong to Gu Changsheng's small courtyard. The servants had already gone to call for a doctor.
Han Yuqing and Liu were also frightened. Liu was pregnant and it was not appropriate for her to run, so she was supported by a maid and followed slowly. Han Yuqing, on the other hand, could not help but jog.
"Miss Han is quite sincere towards my third brother." Liu said softly.
The maid Xier said, "But I don't think the Third Young Master likes her at all."
Liu frowned: "Don't talk nonsense."
"It's true." Xi'er said, "Madam, you don't know that Miss Han used to think the third young master was stupid!"
Liu was shocked: "Is there such a thing?"
"Isn't it? I am a maid born in the Gu family and have watched the third young master grow up. Although the third young master is stupid, he has a good heart and often shares his snacks with us servants. Once, Miss Han saw us and directly called the third young master a fool." Xier said.
Liu's expression turned grim: "Is this true?"
"I heard it myself." Xier said, "I think the Third Young Master doesn't like her now because he holds a grudge against her. But she still doesn't realize it and pretends to be infatuated with her every day. It's really disgusting."
The Gu family had strict rules and regulations, and there was a clear hierarchy. If a servant dared to speak ill of his master, he would be beaten and expelled from the house. Xier dared to say this, so it must be true.
Liu looked at Han Yuqing's back and instantly felt that this woman had a heart as deep as the sea and was definitely not a good candidate for a sister-in-law.
Qing Tong carried Gu Changsheng back to his room and put him on the bed. Mrs. Gu was already crying: "My son, what's wrong with you? Wake up quickly and don't scare me..."
Han Yuqing also started crying: "Third cousin, please wake up. Don't scare us..."
"Madam, Miss Han, the young master is fine. Stop crying and let him be in peace for a while." Qing Tong took out the medicine from the drawer familiarly, poured some water, and fed it to Gu Changsheng bit by bit.
Mrs. Gu asked vigilantly, "What kind of medicine is this?"
"The young master said this is a life-saving medicine, and he fed it to him when he was unconscious." Qing Tong said. This medicine is some yellowish powder, and he doesn't know what it is. But every time the young master takes it, he will wake up soon.
But Han Yuqing was not tactful and asked questions to show his affection: "What is the name of this medicine? Which doctor prescribed it? Is it safe?"
"Of course it's okay. I've eaten it several times." Qingtong said.
Qing Tong is Gu Changsheng's most trusted servant, and Mrs. Gu also trusts him. But Han Yuqing doesn't like him. She suspects that Qing Tong has been bribed by Xia Qianqian.
