After drinking a cup of cold tea, she felt uncomfortable in her stomach and she didn't even know what was stuck in her throat. She walked around countless times throughout the night and opened the window to see if there was any news outside.
But the night outside was as dark as ink, and the whole night was calm and there was no news.
Is the matter settled
She hugged her knees and slowly straightened up. She was a little dazed as she looked at the sky outside which was gradually getting brighter. Then she slowly put on her shoes and stood up.
If something happened, they should have given a message at least - this is Yunxiufang, and Zou Qing knew that she could pass on the message to help people save lives.
There was no news all night, so does that mean everything is really fine
Thinking of this, she breathed a sigh of relief, but then she couldn't help frowning and feeling sad for herself. She was so worried about him, tossing and turning and unable to sleep because of him, but he was not even willing to send her a message that he was fine.
She had just risked offending her backers and helped him get rid of the Guanzhong Marquis.
The blue veins on her forehead were throbbing violently, and she reached out to cover them. She felt dizzy for a moment and almost fell down. The maid who was running errands for her came in to report the news. She was shocked to see that she looked so bad, and asked her hurriedly if she had caught a cold and whether she wanted to see a doctor.
She shook her head without even thinking and asked her, "What happened? Is Ruyuan okay? Has she been notified? Is there any trouble?"
The old woman hurriedly replied, "Miss Ruyuan was just frightened, it's nothing serious. The doctor has examined her and said that she will be fine after taking some medicine, but she needs to rest for a while. The servants of Guanzhong Marquis have also sent a letter to inform her. An old man came to collect the body for her. I heard that everyone else has already dispersed..."
My mother sneered and looked disdainful.
Guanzhong Hou has always been interested in women and is not very good to his servants. Moreover, he is a man with no plan, so his subordinates will not get any benefits from following him.
Even if they are family children, if they encounter such a thing, they can just find an excuse to run away. There will be no victims to chase them. Will the government really interfere and take care of these fugitives
She hummed, thought for a moment, and said, "Give him some silver and say that we have done our best. We did not expect the Marquis of Guanzhong to die in a woman's belly."
The old woman nodded and smiled, "That's right, mom is really kind. If it were anyone else, who would be willing to take care of this matter? He clearly won't listen to advice. We have tried to persuade him, but he insists on doing it his own way. Tsk tsk tsk, he is like a wolf and a tiger all day long. Even a man of steel can't stand it!"
These words were too unbearable to hear, but they were from the orphanage after all, and they were used to saying these things, so they just spoke without thinking.
Mom frowned, a little impatient: "Okay, do as I say, take care of everything, and don't make it difficult for others, go ahead."
She sent the loyal servant away because such loyal people were likely to become stubborn. If they were instigated to cause trouble, and if one of them died or got injured accidentally, things would easily get out of hand.
Secondly, she had not been involved in many deaths. She had suffered enough when she fell into this abyss, so she was always extra kind and soft-hearted to the girls under her. As for other people, although she had to kill them because they were Zou Qing's enemies, she would naturally relax a little if she could. She would feel more at ease if she relaxed.
The old woman saw that she was in a bad mood, rubbed her hands together, didn't dare to say anything more, and turned away.
Mom sat on the edge of the bed and waited for a long time, then went to the back to take a look at Ruyuan.
Ruyuan was having a high fever. When the little girl who served her saw her mother coming, she couldn't help crying: "The girl was so scared that she kept shouting even when she had a fever..."
Guanzhong Hou was a piece of shit. He never showed any mercy to girls. Ruyuan was already trembling with fear under his hands. Such a beautiful courtesan was tortured beyond recognition, and he suddenly died in her belly. No wonder she was so scared.
Mom was silent for a while, then she held Ruyuan's hand, felt her forehead, and sighed, "Forget it. It won't help if she stays in the building like this. Why not send her outside to rest for a while?"
Sent him to rest, which is called rest, but in fact it means he doesn't need to receive guests anymore.
But Ruyuan is one of the most beautiful courtesans in Yunxiufang. There has only been one most beautiful courtesan in all the years, and Yunxiufang has only been able to obtain the title of most beautiful courtesan among so many brothels in the capital for three years.
Sending one away just like that
The little girl looked at her mother with tears in her eyes and didn't react for a moment.
It was Ruyuan, who had a high fever, who reacted and held her mother's hand. It took her a long time to say the word "thank you".
Given a choice, who would want to sink into such a place
She couldn't leave, and if she could, she would have escaped long ago.
My mother smiled bitterly, shook her head, and said earnestly, "You don't have to thank me. To be honest, I am the one who has let you down. You should take care of yourself outside. I will give you this little girl to serve you. You can take all the money you have saved over the years. You don't have to come back again."
Ru Yuan never expected that this day would come, and tears flowed like rain.
But my mother didn't want to talk about this anymore. She was very panicked. She didn't know why, but she felt uncomfortable all over today, as if something was going to happen.
After she made the decision, she let out a long sigh, then stood up and asked people to prepare to send Ruyuan out of the city. However, she paced around anxiously, urging the people around her every few moments to ask if there was any news from Zou Qing.
I just don’t know what happened, and there has been no news at all.
There has been no movement in Zou Qing's house in the alley.
She couldn't help but become even more panicked - she knew who Zou Qing was going to help deal with. Because she knew that, she became even more nervous. After all, if you weren't careful, you might even lose your life, which always made people more worried.
Finally it was noon. She didn't have the heart to care about the girls' quarrels and complaints about Ruyuan. She curled up on the bed and took a nap. After sleeping for a while, she suddenly heard a shout.
It was the waiter outside. She sat up hurriedly, not caring about anything else, and asked hurriedly: "How is it? Is there any news from Master Zou? Did he say anything?"
The nanny who came in looked a little pale. She wiped the cold sweat from her forehead and looked at her. After hesitating for a while, she said, "Mom, I'm afraid something has happened... ... Things are not going well with Master Zou..." (To be continued)
