Bao Xia looked at the unconscious young lady and stood up and said, "I'll go take a look. You stay and take care of the young lady."
"yes."
Baoxia often walked around the courtyards on behalf of the young lady and was the best at remembering people. She was sure that the woman in front of her was someone she had never seen before, even though she had never met her.
Bao Xia bowed and said in a humble manner, "Excuse me, young lady, I wonder if you can tell me who sent you here?"
The woman pulled the curtain aside, revealing a face covered with scars. Seeing that Baoxia was just startled but did not show any disgust, she nodded in satisfaction and held up a porcelain bottle in her palm.
Bao Xia had no idea what to do, and immediately led the person in with a smile on her face. "This medicine is really useful. I was worried about what to do when the medicine ran out. Now it's good. With this medicine, our young lady will suffer less."
The woman did not say anything, but her breath became a little softer. If a servant is protecting her like this, she thinks the master should not be too bad.
Smelling the faint aroma of wine in the room, the woman raised an eyebrow. After taking the pulse and carefully examining the wound, she said the first sentence, "Washed with wine?"
Contrary to her appearance, the woman's voice sounded very energetic, and not as aloof as her temperament.
Bao Xia hurriedly replied, "Before the young lady passed out, she instructed that she should be cleaned with wine, but what's wrong with that?"
"Very good." If she hadn't been so cruel, she would have had a high fever long ago. It was hard to imagine that such a weak-looking girl could be so cruel to herself. No wonder the prince looked up to her.
After changing the medicine again, the woman took out two porcelain bottles from the medicine box and placed them on the table. She wrote another prescription. Seeing this, Bao Xia carefully chose her words and asked for medicine, "After all, our young lady is a girl. It is not good to have scars on her body. I wonder if the young lady has any medicine to remove scars..."
Suddenly remembering that the girl in front of her had a face full of scars, Bao Xia was afraid of poking someone's sore spot and causing her displeasure, so she quickly added: "I don't mean anything else, it's just... it's just that I have been serving the young lady since I was a child, and I feel uncomfortable when I see the young lady being bitten by a mosquito. Now the young lady is injured like this, most likely to protect us. If she is left with scars all over her body, I..."
Bao Xia's already swollen eyes turned red again, and she looked pitiful. The woman looked at her again and said, "Yes, but not now."
What does this mean? Did it exist before but not now? Or did it exist but not now, and will exist later
Baoxia blinked, hoping the woman would say more.
The woman carried her medicine box on her back and walked out. "I'll come back in two days."
Bao Xia was delighted and ran after him, "I don't know what your name is, Miss will definitely ask when she wakes up, so please leave your name."
"Peony."
"Yes, I thank Miss Shaoyao." Baoxia walked to the side with a smile, talking non-stop, "I wonder where Miss Shaoyao lives, is it convenient for her to come here?"
"convenient."
"Miss Shaoyao, could you please tell me if there is anything my young lady needs to pay attention to?"
"That's good."
"Yes, then I am relieved. I would like to ask you one more question: Did Miss Shaoyao know my young lady before?"
"I don't know her." Looking through the curtain, Shaoyao almost wanted to stay and not leave, as such a big thing had happened but the news was kept secret. The maid acted appropriately and considered everything for her. Chen Qing also said that in order to divert Qin Zheng's attention, one of the maids took off her clothes and tried to seduce him last night.
She was very curious about what kind of master could make them do this. She had seen many servants, and there were some who truly considered their masters, but they were only two of them. However, the eldest daughter of the Hua family received the loyal support of all the servants. There must be something special about her to be able to do this.
When Hua Zhi woke up, it was already another night.
The maids were busy around her, feeding her water and porridge, and only then did she have time to ask what was going on.
Nian Qiu took over the conversation and said, "The old lady said that she will watch over the family, so you can do what you want with peace of mind. The maidservant also kept Yingchun a secret. She told you not to worry, she will do what you asked. Butler Xu knew that you wanted to hire people, so he specially picked people who had served the old and young masters before. He said that they had all been trained before and helped the masters with things, so it would be easy for them to get started, but..."
"Just say whatever you want to say." Hua Zhi listened with her eyes slightly closed. She was still very tired. If she wasn't really worried about these things, she wouldn't want to ask any more questions.
"Yes." Nian Qiu pulled the blanket closer and said softly, "The family can keep it a secret, but the people we bring here can't be kept secret. I'm worried that they will pass on the news to our family."
"Everyone has to stay in this manor during this period. There is no chance to pass on the message to them. Did Butler Xu say who will be in charge?"
"That's not the case, but he asked Xu Ying to come with him."
"Xu Ying can handle this matter, but he can't manage people. He has too little experience. Those who have worked with my grandfather and father won't obey him. You guys observe for two days to see who is suitable, and then hand in your names."
After serving her for a long time, the maids were already accustomed to her way of doing things, so they agreed without saying much.
Then the room fell silent.
Hua Zhi opened her eyes and said, "It's so hard to talk about it. Are all three guards dead?"
"No, no." Bao Xia shook her head repeatedly, "One died, but two were saved. The man left two bottles of medicine last night, and I sent one bottle over. By the way, Miss, there was another woman today who said she was asked by someone to come and see you. The medicine she left was the same as the one left by the man last night. She must have been sent by the man last night."
Saving two people was better than she expected. Hua Zhi sighed, "Did she leave any message?"
"She said she would come back in two days. The woman has scars all over her face. It looks like they were cut by a knife. You should be prepared and don't be scared."
"Our young lady is not afraid of bad guys anymore. How can something that doesn't even scare you scare her?" Fu Dong came in with a bowl of black medicine, and the people beside the bed hurriedly made way.
Hua Zhi felt a bitter taste in her mouth before she even drank it. She sighed, pinched her nose and poured the liquid down her throat. Her heroic look made the maid stare in amazement. Nian Qiu even forgot to put the candied fruit into the young lady's mouth, so Hua Zhi had to take it herself.
"Take good care of those two guards. Don't mistreat them. As for the one who died... keep the matter under wraps for now. I'll compensate his family when I return."
"Yes, Miss, please don't hold on. Go to sleep. The maids will take care of it."
Hua Zhi didn't try to be brave. She closed her eyes and felt drowsy. There was a lot of stuff going on at home, so she had to get better quickly.
PS: Because this is the beginning, I have to be careful not to have too many characters, I have to lay the groundwork, make the plot not too uneventful, and push the plot along, so I always revise it again and again before posting it. Ladies, please read it slowly, it takes a lot of effort for Kong Kong to write it! As usual, I ask for a monthly ticket.
