Wei Yang was weak and fell asleep after talking for a while while lying down.
She had so much fever that she had no strength left in her body. She leaned on the bed and talked to General Yan, which made Yan Gui frown.
"It's getting late, you should go back and rest."
General Yan was about to say, "I'm not tired or sleepy." But when he saw his son's fierce eyes and then looked at Wei Yang who was already in low spirits, he listened to his son for once.
Wei Yang opened her eyes, her dark pupils containing a little starlight, and she forced herself to stand up: "Uncle Yan, I will see you off."
General Yan waved his hand and said, "No, no, just take good care of your health."
Yan Gui's gaze moved down to Wei Yang's fair forehead, and as it slid across her forehead, there were dense beads of sweat on it.
Wei Yang had no choice but to give up and told Konggu, "Konggu, see the old general and General Yan off for me."
Konggu escorted General Yan and his son to the gate of the courtyard on behalf of the girl, bowed and watched them go away. Just as she was about to turn around, she saw Mother Sun still standing in the courtyard.
He asked doubtfully, "Is there anything else, Madam Sun?"
Mother Sun nodded and said, "I don't know your personality, so I dare not arrange a maid for you. Miss Konggu, you see, I'd better wait for you to choose one yourself. Or I can bring someone here now and let you choose one for me."
Konggu cursed inwardly, "You old rascal." But she didn't show it on her face, and said softly, "I dare not make this decision for you, young lady. How about Madam Sun ask General Yan for his opinion?"
Mother Sun choked, smiled awkwardly and nodded: "Then I will have to trouble you and Miss Youlan tonight."
"I wouldn't say it's a bother, this is my duty." Konggu smiled, but his eyes were unusually cold.
Looking at a little girl who had just grown her hair holding a lantern and leading the way, and another older girl serving Grandma Sun as she walked away, Konggu snorted coldly, closed the gate and went into the house.
"What did you talk to Mother Sun about?" Youlan came out to pour water and happened to see it. She glanced at Konggu and asked curiously.
Konggu took a deep breath and whispered, "It's okay, is the girl asleep?"
"Go to sleep. I'll watch over you tonight. You and Xiaocao go to sleep." Youlan looked back at the courtyard with lanterns hanging, and said to herself in surprise, "Is there no maid in the mansion? How come Brother Lian didn't assign a girl to guard the gate?"
Fortunately, she was used to her and Konggu serving the girls, and now that Xiaocao was added, she didn't take it to heart and turned around and went in.
The lanterns hanging under the eaves flickered on and off, illuminating the empty valley with a mood that changed from sunny to cloudy.
This mother Sun has too much power. She even dares to intimidate a girl.
Under the coercion of Youlan, Xiaocao firmly refused to go to bed and insisted on staying by the girl's side. In the end, Konggu said that she was too rude. What if she didn't find out that the girl had a fever at night and delayed her treatment
The guilty Xiaocao held back his tears and followed Konggu back to his room to sleep.
In the middle of the night, Wei Yang woke up once, drank some water and fell asleep again after being served by You Lan. You Lan reached out and touched the girl's head, which was getting hot again, and hurried out.
In the evening, General Yan came back after seeing the old general off. He was now sitting in the outer room, fearing that Wei Yang would get hot again in the middle of the night.
Seeing Youlan coming out in a panic, he immediately stood up and asked, "Miss, are you feeling hot again?"
"yes."
Yan Gui ordered in a deep voice: "You go and boil the medicine, and I'll give the girl a massage, so she'll get better faster."
Youlan nodded without hesitation and went out to boil the medicine.
Yan Gui walked into the room with light steps, reached out to touch Wei Yang's forehead, and sighed slightly.
