The servants hesitantly closed the door - Qiu Yilan shook off Ou Qinglan's hand and frowned: "Miss Ou, my brother is not doing well right now. Can you please go back first? There is really no manpower here to receive you now. !”
If Qiu Jinglan was doing well now, she wouldn't mind having a few perfunctory words with this young lady who wanted to be her sister-in-law. But now Qiu Jinglan is still in a critical stage, and Qiu Yilan is simply restless. She has no good feelings for Ou Qinglan who is still bothering her at this moment, and is only bored!
Ou Qinglan noticed her hesitation and said: "I just... just want to know how your brother is doing... I don't mean anything else."
"He is not well." Qiu Yilan emphasized again, "We are all worried now, so we really have no intention of receiving guests."
"Why is it bad?" Ou Qinglan wanted to know more carefully, "I was so disappointed yesterday that I fainted! When I woke up, I was already at home... I heard someone said that your brother was seriously injured! I... I was worried. night… "
How could Qiu Yilan have the heart to tell her everything right now? He just said: "Anyway, you go back first! Let's talk about this in a while, okay?"
Ou Qinglan was stunned for a while, then realized that if she went down again, she might offend her, and then she said angrily: "Okay!"
Just because something was going to happen that day - Ou Qinglan agreed to leave. Although Qiu Yilan was impatient, she had to send her out.
As a result, the two of them happened to step out of the threshold, and the two carriages stopped at the foot of the stone steps almost at the same time!
After that, two young women jumped out of the car almost at the same time. As soon as they got off the car, they pointed at each other and cursed -
This one said: "The broom star! You are making a fool of yourself all day long. If anything happens to Ruan Lang this time, it will definitely be your fault! You still have the nerve to come!"
The other one said: "The news that has been spread throughout the government and the public is that you are deaf?! The assassination of Ruan Lang this time is probably done by the person behind you. I don't know if it is because you are such a charming and unwilling person. Ruan Lang doesn’t want you anymore, he did it deliberately!”
This one was furious: "Bitch! How could I be willing to harm Ruan Lang! And why doesn't Ruan Lang want me anymore? He hasn't ignored me since he kept his filial piety, but he has ignored you?!"
That one sneered: "Since you know that I haven't seen Ruan Lang for a few days, how come I'm the one who defeated him!"
When the two of them were arguing here, they noticed Qiu Yilan and Ou Qinglan on the steps, who were talking to each other. They immediately trimmed their hair on their temples, trimmed their skirts, and came up to greet them: "I'm here to say hello to the princess!"
Qiu Yilan looked at Hua Shen and Penglai Yue, who had become more delicate and cool after two years, and then at Ou Qinglan, who looked suspicious, and felt confused: "I'm sorry, what are you doing here?"
"I heard that Ruan Lang was assassinated and was seriously injured! I haven't slept all night, I'm really worried!" Hua clutched the handkerchief deeply, and tears suddenly flowed out, looking pitiful, "So I dared to come over and inquire about the situation..."
Penglai Yue took a cold approach, unlike Hua Shen, who laughed freely and cried whenever she wanted. But at this moment, she also frowned, showing a clear look of worry.
Seeing this, if Ou Qinglan didn't know that these two were her love rivals, she would be a fool instead of a straight person. Her face changed immediately and she scolded: "Who are you two? What are you with Mr. Ruan?" relation?!"
Hua Shen and Penglai Yue were stunned when they heard this, and looked at her with strange eyes - looking at her clothes and demeanor, we ladies couldn't run away. Because they were in casual clothes, I couldn't tell whether they were banned, but... Even if they were banned, these two red-card bosses who came from the top brothels in the capital also have their own arrogance - especially Ou Qinglan, although her words were full of jealousy, but she said "Mr. Ruan". Exposing her relationship with the assassin was just that!
It's not as friendly as "Ruan Lang" they can call him!
Therefore, Hua Shen and Penglai Yue both ignored her and continued to beg Qiu Yilan: "Please show mercy to the princess and tell me something..."
Ou Qinglan couldn't help but be furious!
She has beaten her own brother since childhood, not to mention that these two are not serious women at first glance
Immediately, he took off the long whip from his waist and whipped it in front of the two of them: "How brave! I dare to turn a deaf ear to my lady's questions!"
Qiu Yilan frowned, raised her hand to hold her wrist, and finally avoided the danger of Hua Shen and Penglai Yue's appearance being ruined suddenly: "Miss Ou, this is the door of Ruan's house!" Although she didn't like this very much either. The two of them came over now, but after all they had good intentions. If Ou Qinglan, who was jealous, was disfigured on the spot, the entire Ruan family would inevitably be discussed in the future!
Ou Qinglan bit her lip and said sorry to her first, then glared at the two people and sneered: "For the sake of Sister Lan, I will forgive you this time! If you dare to despise me next time, look at my whole life." I won’t kill you!”
Hua Shenshen and Penglai Yue both had a look of resentment in their eyes. However, due to the double gap in identity and force, they had to stay humble and say: "I know it!"
"If you know, why don't you get out of here!" Ou Qinglan shouted angrily, "Don't you know that the Ruan family has not yet passed the period of filial piety? You came here now because you were afraid of causing trouble to Mr. Ruan?!"
Seeing that these two people were still hesitant to leave, Qiu Yilan sighed inwardly and said, "My brother is not very good now, but he will be fine in two days."
People like Hua Shen and Penglai Yue, who are obsessed with romance, have the most thorough minds. When they heard this, they knew that these two days were the most critical days. Their expressions changed and one of them said: "Ruan Langji People have their own destiny, everything will be fine!"
Another said: "After I return, I will give out porridge and vegetables to pray for Ruan Lang!"
... After the two of them left while thanking Qiu Yilan for informing them, Ou Qinglan asked Qiu Yilan in a low voice: "Who were those two just now?"
Qiu Yilan's impression was a little worse because of her vicious actions before, so she said lightly: "Oh, it's just two of the people my brother knew before."
"That's it?" Ou Qinglan was stunned, "Does he know many people like this...?"
Qiu Yilan speculated that Qiu Jinglan had said before that he was not interested in Ou Qinglan, so he was not afraid to tell this young lady the truth: "My brother has always been familiar with people like them, but he has only temporarily stopped observing filial piety in the past two years. ”
Sure enough, Ou Qinglan, who was still full of life before, was stunned for a moment, and her originally bright eyes dimmed: "... Really?"
Qiu Yilan pursed her lips: "So my brother is not as good as you think."
Ou Qinglan was silent for a while and said, "I'm going back."
"Go slowly." Qiu Yilan naturally wouldn't stop him.
Who would have thought that after Ou Qinglan took a few steps, she suddenly turned around and said, "I'm just going back to think about it. I may not be able to come here."
Qiu Yilan was stunned for a moment before she realized what she meant was that although she was disappointed, she had no intention of giving up on Qiu Jinglan - she was so persistent that she didn't know what to say.
Ou Qinglan had no intention of asking her to answer. After saying this, she turned around and boarded the car gloomily.
After seeing her off, Qiu Yilan returned to the backyard and happened to meet Ling Zui frowning as he walked out of the house where Qiu Jinglan was housed.
"How is your brother?" She hurriedly asked, "It's not convenient for me to go in."
"It's still burning, and it's hot to the touch." Ling Zui sighed, "But those two veteran soldiers can be seen to be very experienced and take good care of them. I can't get involved at all."
Qiu Yilan was silent. She knew the meaning behind Ling Zui's words - if Qiu Jinglan couldn't survive this kind of care, there was really no way she could do it.
"Take care of yourself, too." Ling Zui was silent for a while and said softly, "Your brother can't take care of you now, so you should pay attention to yourself. Don't let him get better, but you are sick, and he will have to take care of you again before he recovers." worry."
"Yes." Qiu Yilan lowered her head and said.
Ling Zui breathed out: "I'll go home and ask my mother if there's anything I can do to help!"
"What about Kuang Qingwu?" Qiu Yilan reminded.
Ling Zui sneered: "Who has the heart to care about such a trivial matter nowadays... Hehe! Speaking of which, after your brother gets better, I also want to ask him, if we get along, what can I say to him?! He It’s okay to hide it from others, but why don’t you tell me at all! In his eyes, I am someone who wants to betray his friends for glory, but I still can’t keep my mouth shut!”
Qiu Yilan was stunned: "You... know?!" Just now, she heard that Ou Qinglan still said "Mr. Ruan", and Hua Shen and Penglai Yue also called "Mr. Ruan". She thought she had shouted out in anger yesterday. The relationship between brother and sister has not been spread at all!
Ling Zui rolled his eyes at her when he heard this: "Why don't you want me to know the news Jiang Jiujiu sent me? It's interesting that Jiang Jiujiu didn't listen to you!"
"It turns out it was Nineteen who said it." Qiu Yilan finally understood. She shook her head, "No, I was just a little surprised, thinking that the outside world didn't know yet."
"It doesn't matter whether the outside world knows it or not." Ling Zui sneered, "Anyway, when your brother gets better, if he doesn't give me an explanation, I won't be done with him!"
Qiu Yilan forced a smile and said, "Yes, I will make him apologize to you later... As long as he gets better!"
After hearing this, Ling Zui looked sad and said: "He will naturally get better, otherwise how can he repay me?"
Both of them were preoccupied. After a few words, Ling Zui left.
Because he was no stranger to the Ruan family, Qiu Yilan didn't want to see him off and went straight into the house.
In the room, Ruan Ciyi was already outside, frowning, staring blankly at the bonsai not far away, unaware of her arrival.
Qiu Yilan went up and shouted, and then she woke up and said, "Cousin Qiu? Are you back? Did General Jiang send you away?"
"Already gone." Qiu Yilan responded, and suddenly realized that something was wrong with her face. He rushed up to check her forehead temperature and said in surprise, "Cousin, are you sick?"
Ruan Ciyi's lips were white, but her cheeks were as red as fire. Hearing this, he touched a handful himself and said, "Ah, a little?"
"What's wrong, it's just too hot to touch!" Qiu Yilan had a headache that she couldn't explain - her brother was still struggling on the line of life and death, and her cousin was also suffering from a severe fever!
She quickly called the maid to help Ruan Ciyi back to her room, and then ordered, "Go to Cuiwei Pavilion to ask for the old doctor Qi!"
"Don't ask the old lady to treat you." Ruan Ciyi didn't have much strength at the moment, but she insisted, "He was busy working for his brother until midnight yesterday, and he just fell asleep not long ago. He is old again - don't delay him, no I can’t treat my brother!”
"Then go out and ask for a doctor!" Qiu Yilan thought the same thing - not only giving priority to Qiu Jinglan, but also saying that Qi Shuluo was not in good spirits, and it would be easy to make mistakes in the diagnosis and treatment of Ruan Ciyi.
The servant agreed, but something happened again - the servant rushed over to ask for instructions: "The prince Zhang Guogong is here to visit, he said he is visiting our young master!"
