Guard Chief Ying Zheng was confused as to where this strange maid came from. He saw Chen Ruping walking in with her legs crossed, and quickly followed her. The three of them walked to the corridor in silence, and Chen Ruping turned around and asked the maid: "The fifth young master is back. I heard that the eldest lady has not been sleeping well these past two days, so I came over first to see... Is the madam still in there? ?”
"My maid congratulates the Fifth Young Master on his safe return!" The maid bowed to the captain of the guard and then said, "My wife was tired just now. The eldest lady ordered someone to send my wife back first."
"That's fine." Chen Ruping didn't seem to want to run into Mrs. Song, and his expression relaxed when he heard this.
Although Wei Changying was confused about the presence of an unknown maid in his yard, he was more concerned about his younger brother. When he saw Chen Ruping finished asking, he walked to the inner room first.
When he opened the door, he saw Wei Changfeng wearing a half-worn home-style robe under the west window. Xu Shi had just taken a bath, and his long hair was scattered on the couch. Although his hair was disheveled, he was sitting upright behind the couch, concentrating on a book in front of him.
Except for him, there was no one in the room... The empty courtyard was completely different from the laughter and laughter that could be heard outside the wall all day and night... Luyi and Luqi probably died in the forest, Lufang and Lu On the temples, there are four little maids of the Zhu generation, and wet nurse He Shi...
Wei Changying looked at the inner room with only his younger brother, and was confused for a moment. At this time, Wei Changfeng was turning the page, and when he heard the door open, he subconsciously cast a glance - his whole body was shocked, and he overturned several cases in one go. , shouted out loud: "Sister!"
"The eldest lady and the fifth young master, please stop talking!" Chen Ruping, who followed the inner room immediately, interrupted the two siblings' attempts to inquire about the current situation with a deep voice, and said hurriedly, "My maid has asked Qin Ge to prepare for the bath. Room... Fifth Young Master, hurry up and change your robes with the eldest lady, I’m afraid Duke Jingping’s wife is coming soon!”
Wei Changying asked in confusion, "What's she doing here?" Although she didn't like Wei Changxian originally, she didn't have any opinion about Xiao Liu's aunt, and she still respected her. But from Wei Xinyong, I learned that this attack was basically caused by Xiao Liu's nephew. Maybe there was no need to lie, since Empress Gu was also involved in this incident - Concubine Deng ordered her nephew Deng Zongqi, Gu The Queen promised the position of Crown Princess of the Liu family, so Liu Xixun is also very suspicious.
Now that I heard that Mr. Liu is coming, Wei Changying can't even call his aunt.
Wei Changfeng and Chen Ruping looked equally unwelcome to Little Liu. Chen Ruping sneered and said, "Since the fifth young master came back first, Duke Jingping has sent someone over to visit him almost every day! Everyone comes here. It was Duke Jingping's wife or the second young lady and other female relatives. The old lady made people take medicine in the yard all day long. She blocked their request to visit the couch on the pretext that the eldest lady was seriously ill and needed a complete rest. After hitting a wall, I thought of introducing the doctor... Fortunately, the eldest lady is back, and I will meet Duke Jingping's wife today to make them give up!"
Duke Jingping was unwilling to lose everything and seemed to have made up his mind to stab Wei Huan and Mrs. Song in front of Chief Wei. The matter was urgent, and Wei Changying and his brother had no time to explain what happened. Wei Changying immediately went behind the screen to take off his outer robe.
Chen Ruping followed behind the screen to serve. Her hands that were undressing Wei Changying were trembling unnoticeably, causing Wei Changying to look at him suspiciously—because it was early autumn, and Wei Changying did not wear many clothes. She quickly took off her robe and handed it to Chen Ruping, signaling her to take it out to Wei Changfeng... But Chen Ruping didn't leave. She hugged the robe and said in a hoarse voice: "The hairpin on the eldest lady's side is crooked. , Maybe it was touched by the bamboo hat, so you should take it off first to avoid falling and falling! "
Wei Changying did not doubt that she was there, and raised his hand to touch his temples - when she raised her hand, the sleeves of her coat naturally slid down, revealing a section of Sai Xue Qishang's forearm. On the arm, there was a bit of bright red Gonggong sand, which was bright. Desire dripping.
Seeing this scene, Chen Ruping let out a sigh of relief!
Wei Changying followed a group of strange men on behalf of his younger brother and then came back. What happened in the end was not only malicious speculation by outsiders, but also worried by his own family. Although the old lady and the front guard Zhang Ying looked calm before, but...how can we rest assured if we don't confirm such a big thing
But if Wei Changying took it seriously... If he asked tactfully, wouldn't he stab her heart again? Even if Wei Changying is still in perfect condition, has just experienced life and death, and is trying to protect his younger brother, after finally returning and listening to such questioning, he may be sensitive to think that his family dislikes him. Fortunately, although Wei Changying was not as quiet as most ladies, she ordered the Palace Guard Sand that every woman would order.
Chen Ruping completed the task assigned by Mrs. Song with a little trick, and it was the result that Mrs. Song wanted to risk her life. A huge boulder fell in her heart, and her footsteps when going out were a little lighter.
She hurriedly dressed up Wei Changfeng as if he had returned from a long journey, gave him a few words and asked him to return to Liuhuayuan first. She also called the maid Qin Ge, whom Wei Changying had seen before, and asked her to serve Wei Changying well. After taking a bath, he took three steps and two steps at a time, then rushed back to the upper room to report the good news to Mrs. Song.
Wei Changying did not notice the main purpose of Chen Ruping accompanying him back to Shuangting. Instead, he noticed that none of the maids he saw after entering the bathroom he knew. He had met Qin Ge in front of him because he was busy. Looking at Wei Changfeng, he didn't ask any further questions. At this moment, he frowned and said, "Who are you? Where are the original people here?"
Qin Ge stepped forward and bowed, saying: "The eldest lady needed to rest before. There were too many people in the yard, so the old lady sent some away. Let the maidservants come to serve the eldest lady, maid Qin Ge, they are Yan Ge, Jiao Ge, Han Ge .”
The other three maids saluted together: "I have met the eldest lady!"
Wei Changying thought for a moment, thinking that maybe the little maids like Zhu Lan were too lively, and he was afraid that they would not be able to keep their words, so he sent them away. However, Lvfang and Lvhuan were relatively stable, so they were sent away anyway. gone? Could it be that they are not reliable enough
Moreover, what about He
She then asked: "Has my wet nurse been sent away too?"
Qin Ge smiled awkwardly and said: "Of course Aunt He is still here, but she is worried about the eldest daughter day and night. She had a fever yesterday. The old lady was worried that she was over sick, so she ordered her to be sent to the outer courtyard first."
Wei Changying frowned: "Fever?"
"Miss, don't worry. Although Aunt He was sent to the outer courtyard, the old lady sent a doctor to see it. She said that it will only take two days." Qin Ge said hurriedly, "After that, she will definitely recover. Come to serve the eldest lady.”
Wei Changying breathed a sigh of relief. She was also tired. She had to deal with Xiao Liu for a while, so she stopped talking, nodded, undressed and stepped into the bath.
After bathing, Qin Ge and Yan Ge came up to help her change clothes. After all, they were new ones. They were not as familiar with Wei Changying's preferences as the four people in the green room, so it took a lot of effort to satisfy her.
After leaving the bathroom and returning to the inner room, Wei Changying saw that Mrs. Liu hadn't arrived yet, so he leaned on the couch and fell asleep for a while, letting Jiao Ge and Han Ge wring their long hair with handkerchiefs.
She originally decided to take a nap, but she was really exhausted these past two days, so she lay down and fell asleep.
I don’t know how long it took, but Wei Changying was woken up by someone. He asked vaguely why, and then he listened to the music of the piano and whispered in his ear: "Miss, the wife of Duke Jingping and the eldest young lady are here."
"Huh?" Wei Changying was at a loss for a moment, then suddenly came back to his senses, grabbed Qin Ge's hand and said, "Where is he?"
"The boy from the old lady's place ran over just now. He said he had just visited the old lady and was on his way here." Seeing Wei Changying about to sit up, Qin Ge hurriedly held her down again and said with a chuckle, "Today is five The young master came back to visit the eldest lady. The eldest lady has recovered a lot...but she has been ill before. Where can I get up now? Both the wife of Lord Jingping and the eldest lady are tolerant and kind-hearted people, so they will not be together. The eldest lady cares about it.”
After being reminded by her, Wei Changying, who was sleeping in a daze, remembered that there was no need to wash up and go out, so he lay down again with peace of mind and said: "I can't get up right now. Just right."
Qin Ge pursed her lips and smiled: "That's what the eldest lady said."
The preparations were made here, and after waiting for a moment, Chen Ruping came in accompanied by Xiao Liu and Su. Smelling the smell of medicine, he sighed and asked about the situation in the yard. The person standing outside was Jiao Ge. , through the half-open window, I could only hear Jiao Ge's soft reply: "... The fifth young master came back safely today. I heard that the eldest lady couldn't get up from the bed, so I came over to see him first. When the eldest lady saw the fifth young master, he felt a lot better. . Now I have some mental strength.”
... Xiao Liu and Su visibly choked, but Chen Ruping laughed heartily and continued: "The old lady was just telling the wife of the eldest son that the eldest lady fell ill because she was worried about the fifth young master. , today the fifth young master’s wife is back in peace, if the eldest lady can recover, then it will be a double happiness for our family today! I don’t think it will be like this - the eldest wife and the eldest lady will not come here today, The old lady is also about to send someone to the Jingping Palace to announce the good news! Is this a good day? "
Xiao Liu didn't seem to realize it until now. She forced a smile and said, "That's what Grandma Chen said."
She didn't know whether she didn't believe it or didn't give up, so she added, "Now that the child is well, I wonder if we can go in and have a look? If she falls asleep, we can take off the ring and go in..."
When Wei Changying heard this from inside, he winked at Qin Ge in front of him. Qin Ge understood and walked out and said: "The eldest lady is awake and heard that the prince's wife and the eldest young lady are coming. Let the maid come out and invite you two in." "Here!" He said again, "Mother Chen, please come in."
After a while, Xiao Liu, Su and Chen Ruping all entered the inner room with a smile on their faces. They saw that they were only wearing middle clothes and outer robes, with long hair hanging loose. Looking at the guard Zhang Ying on the hidden bag, Xiao Liu looked at her kindly and said softly: "Can Zhang Ying wake up? How do you feel now?"
Wei Changying did not sleep well after being exhausted. His voice happened to be a little hoarse and he was a little short of breath. At this moment, he whispered: "I just saw Changfeng, and I felt relieved. Now I feel much better. But it's still nothing." I didn't have the strength to hear my aunt and sister-in-law enter the yard, but I didn't have the strength to shout, so I had to ask Qin Ge to go out and invite... "
"You child, we are here to visit you, and we will come in sooner or later." Xiao Liu said hurriedly, "If you are anxious and can't rest well, then it will be our fault."
Chen Ruping said with a smile: "The eldest lady has been sleeping in a coma for the past few days. I'm afraid she doesn't know. The prince's wife and the eldest young lady really care about the eldest lady. They come to visit almost every day!" His expression seemed sincere, but there was a hint of teasing that was not hard to detect.
"So that's it!" Wei Changying had been prepared and immediately looked at Xiao Liu and Su with great gratitude, "It's all because of Chang Ying's fault. He was so worried about his fifth brother that he fell ill on the bed and called his aunt and sister-in-law. Worry!”
Xiao Liu's eyes flashed and she sighed: "How can we be worried? If we should worry about your mother!" She seemed to say casually, "I heard she just left you? She hasn't been coughing for the past few days. Do you know it’s better?”
Just as Wei Changying was about to speak, Chen Ruping's expression changed and he immediately said, "The prince's wife is wrong. The eldest lady just has a headache, but it's not a cough."
"..." Wei Changying's heart trembled. While secretly scolding Xiao Liu for being sinister, he was also glad that Chen Ruping was present. However, when he saw that Xiao Liu's test failed, he frowned slightly. Su smiled and smoothed things over: " Mother has been worried about Chang Ying these days, but she has forgotten about it. "
"I have a bad memory as I get older, but you guys are laughing at me." Xiao Liu regained his normal expression and laughed at himself gently.
Afterwards, the two sides exchanged pleasantries for a while. Wei Changying was worried about Xiao Liu mentioning Mrs. Song, so he was impatient and perfunctory for too long. He felt that it was almost done and he ran out of excuses - of course Chen Ruping helped to drive them away.
After Xiao Liu and Su were sent away, Wei Changying's face darkened and asked Qin Ge: "Does mother have a severe headache?"
Qin Ge didn't dare to hide it: "Madam is worried about the eldest lady, so she is so anxious that she has a headache. She couldn't sleep for the past two days, so Dr. Ji prescribed a calming soup. After drinking it, she could take a nap... I wonder if the eldest lady will come back soon. It will be fine.”
Wei Changying knew very well how much his mother loved him and his brother. This time, both siblings were in danger and had to survive in the dense forest. It was difficult, but Mrs. Song might not be safe for a while in the safety of Ruiyu Hall. After hearing what Qin Ge said, he sighed and said, "Go there alone and don't disturb mother's nap. When mother wakes up, report to me immediately that everything is safe."
Although Qin Ge knew that Mrs. Song must have sent someone to tell Nanny Shi a long time ago, she still agreed and went out to ask Yan Ge to run errands. (To be continued)
