Chunni didn't know what happened, but she could hear a tremor in the young lady's voice. She helped the young lady up in the dark, and then intuitively found the teapot that was warm on the stove.
After drinking a cup of hot tea, Qingguan's cold limbs finally felt relieved.
"Miss, where is Yue Niang?" Chunni murmured.
"She and Qian Fu are on their way back. You go to the backyard and wait for her."
"Then Miss, you..."
"Nothing. Just go ahead." Qingguan said weakly.
Chunni did not dare to disobey, glanced at the young lady worriedly, and quietly retreated.
The room was silent except for the pounding of his own heart. She reached out and covered her chest.
It was really dangerous today. If she hadn't made a decisive decision and frightened him with ghosts and gods, it would have been difficult to escape. However, with his ability, he can only bluff him for a while. When he comes back to his senses afterwards, he will definitely become suspicious.
Qingguan clenched his fists, and his rapidly beating heart slowly calmed down.
Three quarters of a hour.
In the quietest place in the inner courtyard of the Su Mansion, there was a courtyard where the lights were still on.
Su Ziyu stood at the entrance of the courtyard, waiting quietly.
After a while, a maid in green clothes hurriedly came over and said apologetically: "Third Master, please come back. Madam... she has rested."
Su Ziyu sighed slightly. It was expected that his mother would not see him.
Six years later, after something happened to the Qian family and the Sheng family, his mother was disappointed with him and the Su family, so she moved into this courtyard with the green lantern and ancient Buddha as her company, and stopped caring about worldly affairs.
As long as he comes back from the army, he must come to say hello. It's a pity that out of ten times, it's only because of my mother's mercy that I can see him once.
Today is Qingming Festival. My mother misses her old friend and will definitely not see him. It’s just an obsession in my heart, always hoping that a miracle will happen.
His eyes darkened, and he said in a deep voice: "Tell me to take good care of my servants, and don't make my wife work too hard."
"Yes, Third Master." Qisu said.
Su Ziyu walked out with her hands behind her back, walked to the dark place and stopped again, looking back.
The courtyard door slowly closed, and just as it was about to close, the lights in the courtyard suddenly dimmed, and there was no light in front of my eyes. Only the faint fragrance of apricot blossoms floated in with the spring breeze.
Su Ziyu sighed lightly, turned and left.
He walked very slowly, as if strolling in a leisurely courtyard. The moonlight illuminated his face, which made him look noble and noble. Suddenly his feet stopped.
Something seemed wrong, but I couldn't tell what was wrong. Su Ziyu frowned, looking down at his slender figure under the moon shadow, and was stunned.
Tonight, what Qian Mansion and his party encountered were definitely not ghosts and gods, but people. Under the shadow of the moon, there is her shadow. It must be her, Gu Qingwan.
How did she, a girl from a boudoir, escape from a deep house? Who was traveling with her
Why did she come to Qian Mansion and why did she know Qian Ziqi's yard. As far as he knew, this person should have never been to the capital.
Did he miss something? Su Ziyu's heart beat suddenly, and there was a pain in her chest.
British government.
Yin Lifeng was lying on the bed, feeling drowsy, and something seemed to be crying in his ears. He forced his eyes open, and it turned out to be his mother Qiu.
He was about to turn over, but there was a burning pain in his buttocks, and he couldn't help but let out an "ouch".
When Mrs. Qiu heard her son calling, she felt heartbroken. She said with hatred and resentment: "The old guy with a dark heart actually did something cruel. My son, how are you? Do you feel any pain?"
Yin Lifeng glanced at her angrily and shouted at the top of his lungs: "Why are you crying? It's just ten marks."
Qiu's tears welled up even more. She has never touched this son with a finger since he was a child. He got ten slaps for no reason, all because of that little bitch.
"Stop crying. While you're at it, help your son think about how to get that woman back."
Mrs. Qiu's face paused, and she said with hatred: "You are still thinking about her. If it weren't for her, how could you have been beaten?"
Yin Lifeng turned his head away irritably, unwilling to listen any more.
Qiu didn't mean to scold or love. She sat there for a long time and said softly: "Son, your mother will give you as many women as you want, but you can't make a fool of yourself just for one woman. This This time I was not only tired..."
"Okay, don't say any more. I don't want anyone but Gu Qingwan."
"Absolutely impossible, unless I die." Qiu was furious when he heard that his son was still thinking about that lunatic.
Yin Lifeng was furious when he heard this, picked up the pillow and threw it on the ground.
Qiu was so angry that her eyes were filled with stars. She swayed and was about to fall down. A pair of hands supported her. When she looked back, she saw that it was her daughter Dai Mei. She was about to wail a few times, but was stopped by her daughter's look.
Mrs. Qiu understood, glared at the person on the bed, and went to the outside room.
The mother and daughter walked out of the yard. Yin Daimei waved the servants behind her to move away. She took Qiu's hand and said, "Mom, don't pay attention to him. The imperial concubine has told the government to arrest him and stop trespassing. Father, these ten The purpose of taking note of the board is to prevent him from causing trouble outside.”
How could Ms. Qiu not know this truth, but her son was the flesh that fell from her body, so how could the mother not feel distressed.
Yin Daimei added: "As for that Gu Qingwan, she is not earth-shatteringly beautiful. Over time, she will naturally fade away."
When Qiu heard the name, her eyes shone sharply, "This lunatic, I don't know what kind of charm he used, he made the seventh child of the Jiang family fascinated, and even harmed your brother... It's really a disaster."
Yin Dai said with a sneer, "The Qian family's blood is flowing on her body, how can it be any better? Think about that Qian Ziqi back then..."
A gust of night wind blew by, and Yin Daimei shivered in fright. Thinking of the Qingming Festival today, she stopped talking.
Qiu didn't know it at all, so she patted her daughter's hand and said, "Thanks to Ziyu this time, although this child is quiet and silent, he treats you sincerely and treats us well."
Joy filled Yin Daimei's heart, as sweet as eating honey.
"When you have time, tell him that I won't let him wait in vain these few years. When the time comes, the dowry will be three points thicker."
"Mother?" Yin Dai frowned.
The mother has two daughters, but she has a special regard for her. In order to make her live longer, she had to keep her by his side despite the pressure from all sides, and now she has to add makeup to her... Yin Daimei rested her head on Qiu's shoulder, "My mother has been really good to me."
Mrs. Qiu stroked her daughter's jade-like face and said, "If I don't treat you well, who will I treat well? Son, the only thing our women can rely on in this life, apart from our parents, is our children."
Yin Daimei muttered in her heart that she still had another subtitle.
"Your brother's marriage also needs to be considered accordingly. You can no longer follow his whims."
Yin Daimei nodded with deep understanding.
Yin Lifeng and others left and called "Xiao Zhong" several times.
Xiaozhong entered the room and said hurriedly, "My Lord."
"Go and find out what's going on with the Gu family?"
Xiao Zhongwei said: "Sir, today is the Qingming Festival, and all the prefectures are busy offering sacrifices and sweeping tombs. How can anyone go to other prefectures to inquire about this matter?"
Yin Lifeng felt right and lowered his eyes in frustration.
He didn't know how he came back, but he felt friendly when he saw Gu Qingwan for the first time. After several interactions, this woman's shadow appeared in my heart and eyes. Just the thought of her marrying Jiang Hongwen made her heart feel like it had been cut by a knife.
Yin Lifeng took two deep breaths, unwillingness flashed in his eyes, he would never give up. Gu Qingwan, you can only be mine in this life.
Qingwan, who was missed by others, was sleepless in the middle of the night, her heart was anxious, and she was tossing and turning. She fell asleep when the rooster crowed, but she had lingering dreams, and various faces and figures appeared in turn.
Slowly, she seemed to be back in the Qian Mansion again, hiding in the sycamore tree, with the sky full of fire. When the arrow hit, she screamed in pain and sat up from the bed suddenly. She was dripping with cold sweat when she touched her body.
Yueniang heard the commotion, lit a candle and came in. Seeing that the young lady looked wrong, she hurriedly hugged her in her arms, patting her back and humming a tune softly, just like before.
Qingguan smelled the familiar scent of Yueniang's body, and her mind slowly relaxed, sleepiness came over her, and she fell into a deep sleep.
The next day, she was awakened by the sound of rain outside the window. When she got up, she realized that she had slept until dusk, and both Yueniang and Chunni were guarding her bed.
Qingguan licked her lips, which were a little dry, and said, "Give me a cup of tea."
As soon as the voice came out, Qingguan himself was shocked and hoarse.
Chunni quickly poured hot tea. Yueniang helped the young lady stand up and let her lean on her. Only then did Qingguan realize that she felt weak.
"What's wrong with me?"
Yueniang's eyes were red and she said: "At dawn, the young lady's whole body was burning hot. The fever was so severe that she couldn't wake up no matter how much she screamed. Chunni begged his wife and asked a doctor to see the young lady, but he didn't see any reason for it. He just said it was... There was a cold wind and I got chilly."
Qingguan held the pulse of his left hand with his right hand and examined it carefully. He found that he was indeed suffering from cold, and he was fine after just a few cups of medicine.
But Yueniang sobbed: "Miss, I have rarely been sick in these years. I just went there yesterday and fell ill when I came back. It shows that the place is not clean. Please don't go there again in the future."
"Yes, miss. I have heard from Yue Niang that it is spooky and scary. I am afraid there is something dirty nearby."
The son is silent and his strange power confuses the gods. I was frightened last night and my clothes were soaked with cold sweat. It would be strange if I didn't fall ill if the cold wind blew again.
Qingguan lay down weakly, "They are all my relatives. Even if there are ghosts and gods, it is because they miss me and will never harm me. Don't think wildly."
Yueniang and Chunni looked at each other, and what the young lady said seemed to make sense.
"I'm sick, who has been here?"
Chunni said hurriedly: "My wife came over personally to take a look. After staying for half a cup of tea, the second lady and Aunt Zhang also came."
Qingguan asked curiously: "Why did your wife come here?"
Yueniang said: "My lady is getting engaged soon. Even for the sake of the family's face, my wife wants to come over and have a look. If the Jiang family doesn't find out about it, wouldn't it be a joke that the Gu family treats the lady harshly."
"Yes, miss, I went to beg my wife, and my wife immediately sent for the doctor without even a moment's delay." Chunni spoke very crisply.
Qingguan smiled faintly, waved to the two of them, and said, "I have reached an agreement with Master Qi. The engagement is just a temporary measure. We will make plans after two years." The two loyal servants were shocked. , Yueniang said: "Miss, why is the Jiang family from such a good family background..."
