Soon it was lunch time, everyone at the table was eating with their own thoughts, Xiao Ting ate deliciously, Xiao Mei looked up at her from time to time, she had already received a report that Xiao Ting had seen the yard, it stands to reason that she should do something.
But now she didn't mention a word, so she didn't know what to do.
The meal was finished quickly, and when leaving, Xiao Ting asked the eldest lady about Qi Yiniang's condition.
The eldest lady didn't expect that she would talk about this matter, she helped the old lady's footsteps, she smiled peacefully, and said: "Miss Six, don't worry, Younger Sister Seven has a mother to take care of her, so you can go back to the palace with peace of mind!"
This is the rhythm to catch people.
For the first time, Xiao Ting saw the gentleness and sternness of the eldest lady.
In the past, she took it too much for granted. In this era of polygamy, there is no such thing as a peaceful backyard.
Xiao Ting smiled and said: "My lord will pick me up later..."
Before she finished speaking, she was interrupted by the old lady, "The prince is here to pick you up, why didn't you tell me earlier, girl?"
After speaking, let the lady go to prepare.
Xiao Ting smiled silently, raised her feet and followed Xiao Mei, and when she was about to overtake her, she said: "I haven't thanked my sister for helping me clean up the yard. After my sister's dress, it is indeed much brighter than before. It's just that my sister has some things. Please put them back, otherwise my sister will not feel comfortable living here."
Dare to touch her things, and don't look at yourself
After finishing speaking, Xiao Ting went to see Seventh Aunt alone.
Only Xiao Mei was left angry, wishing to eat her.
"Hmph, let's wait and see."
The depressed courtyard gives people a sense of oppression as soon as they step in.
Xiao Ting thought to herself: "Qi Yiniang is seriously ill, and the maidservant who waited in the yard disappeared immediately, these people really are."
All the way to the back room, there was a sick and delicate beauty lying on the bed, eyes closed tightly, covered with a thick quilt on a hot day, half of her black hair was hanging down beside the bed, slashing across the ground, but no one cares about it.
The windows were tightly shut, and there were actually two braziers beside the bed, and a wave of heat rushed towards my face.
Xiao Ting frowned slightly, and took a few steps forward, there was a soup bowl on the round stool beside the bed, it was dark and smelled like medicine.
"The windows are so tightly closed, I'm afraid that good people will get sick from boredom."
Perhaps the room was too quiet, even though Xiao Ting's voice was not loud, she still woke up the beauty on the bed.
Qi Yiniang's small face was whiter than paper, she had lost a lot of weight, her eye sockets were sunken, which made her eyes look bigger, but at the moment she was looking at her indifferently.
Her lips were dry, with layers of white skin. She seemed to want to speak, but when she opened her mouth, she didn't say a word.
"Qi Yiniang, lie down quickly."
Xiao Ting stepped forward to help her lie down, and when she touched her hand, she was startled, why is this hand so cold, like a dead person.
Poured warm water over, Xiao Ting helped Qi Yiniang to use some, but no one came in during the period.
After a while, Seventh Yiniang finally spoke, "Miss Six is back, are you alright?"
The day before yesterday, she was the one who invited the master to let Hong Shao take Xiao Shi to play with Xiao Ting, because she was afraid that the child would see her like this.
Xiao Ting knew what she was worried about, so she reassured her, "Don't worry, he is playing with Xiao Shizi in the palace, and they are fine."
Knowing that her son was not here, Seventh Aunt felt relieved.
"Qi Yiniang, are you sick?" Xiao Ting still couldn't hold back and asked her.
Seventh Yiniang shook her head and said: "Sixth Miss is now a princess, Fourth Sister can rest assured."
The fourth sister she was talking about was the original owner's biological mother, a confidante who died early.
Seeing that she didn't want to mention it, Xiao Ting didn't ask any more, just told her to rest.
Seventh Yiniang didn't agree, so she pulled her to say something about the family, and Xiao Ting was about to leave.
It can be seen that Seventh Aunt has only been here for a few days.
Before Xiao Ting left, Seventh Yiniang took her hand and said, "Miss Six, can I ask you to do something."
"you say."
"Can you get Xin'er out of here?"
Facing her expectant gaze, Xiao Ting didn't know how to answer. Xiao Shi is the young son of Xiao's mansion, so he will naturally be taken care of by someone, and his father will also take care of him. Why would Qi Yiniang say this to her
Qi Yiniang also seemed to feel that her request was too much, and explained: "I, what I mean is, before he is ten years old, can you help me take care of him and don't let him stay in this mansion."
Xiao Ting was thoughtful, as soon as she left the yard, she ran into the third girl Xiao Ya, both of them were taken aback when they met.
Xiao Ya first took a look at the yard, and after confirming that it was where her mother lived, she sweetly called Sixth Sister, and then entered the yard.
Xiao Ting and the others had only walked a few steps when they heard Xiao Ya's screams coming from inside.
"Don't be so verbose, I know what I'm doing?"
"Do I count on you if I don't rely on myself?"
"Don't worry about me, just take care of yourself..."
Thinking of Hong Shao telling himself the day before yesterday that the third girl, Xiao Ya, was not the daughter of Seventh Yiniang, nor was she the master's daughter. Few people knew about this, even Xiao Ya herself didn't know.
On weekdays, Aunt Qi seldom interacts with people, she is very low-key, and the master seldom goes to her yard, so the eldest lady does not pay attention to her on weekdays, but after the birth of the tenth son, it is different.
That was the only aunt in the mansion who gave birth to a male besides the Da Furen's son Da Gong Zi.
Therefore, Seventh Aunt's illness is related to Da Furen!
Although Xiao Ting is not very familiar with the matter of the back house, she understands it now.
The reason why Aunt Qi asked her to take care of Xiao Shi was probably because she was afraid that the eldest lady would harm Xiao Shi.
