If they really wanted to make a fuss about this, they would have done it long ago. What a pity, her haters are eager to destroy her limelight, so why would they take the initiative to mention such a thing.
Moreover, the Hundred Flowers Banquet is coming soon, and those sisters are all very busy. It would be strange if she does nothing.
Just two days later, just after noon, the sun was shining brightly.
Wu Sheyue squatted under the shade of a tree, holding a jar of garlic in her arms and pounding it all the time. The pigment powder inside was already broken into pieces. Ning'er trotted all the way and slipped into the yard. When Wu Sheyue saw her, she stopped what she was doing.
"what happened again?"
"It's the Fourth Miss." Ning'er whispered in Wu Sheyue's ear, "Just now, a few boys said that there was a commotion over Aunt Liu. It seemed that the Fourth Miss had a rash, her face was red, and she kept shouting It's itchy. Aunt Liu just sent someone to call the doctor. I secretly asked a few questions and felt that the red rash should be the same as the one on your hand, miss."
Wu Sheyue nodded, and the pounding movements of her hands gradually slowed down as she thought about it, "There are still eight or nine days until the Hundred Flowers Banquet. If Wu Lixiang doesn't find the right method, it will be difficult to reduce the swelling quickly. In these few days, you can Stay away from them, don't get accidentally injured by the powder."
Ning'er said cautiously: "Miss, there is also medicinal powder in your jewelry. Something has happened with Miss Fourth. If Miss is always fine, Madam may take action again."
"It's okay, I'll take care of it. You put this in place." Wu Sheyue handed the thing in her hand to Ning'er, then got up and went back to the house.
While Wu Sheyue and Ning'er were talking, Wu Lixiang's rash had already alarmed the whole family. Aunt Liu was so anxious that she almost died. The doctor was still late in arriving (actually, it was not late at all), so she couldn't stand it any longer and ran non-stop to Wu Hantian crying for help.
Wu Hantian was sleeping in Ning Shuang's house at the time, and was disturbed by Aunt Liu who had been looking for her. He became angry and anxious, and called for several doctors to come over.
Aunt Liu was already sad and anxious, but when she saw Wu Han lying with Ning Shuang in broad daylight, looking impatient, she felt angry and turned around to find the old lady.
The Hundred Flowers Banquet is an excellent opportunity to make friends with powerful people, but if you are a little more prominent, you may be favored by the royal family! Something happened to Wu Lixiang at this stall, and the old lady was very anxious. But the rash sounded scary. I didn't know if it was an infectious disease, so I just sent someone over to keep an eye on it.
Wu Sheyue later heard from Ning'er's bribed informant that Wu Hantian's people, the old lady's people... all crowded in the courtyard of Wu Lixiang and Aunt Liu, and the momentum was very large. Then Wu Lixiang cried hysterically alone in the room, as if she had an incurable disease.
But it was such a scene. When the doctor arrived, he glanced at Wu Lixiang casually, and then said to Aunt Liu in an understatement: "This is Taohuafei (now called pollen allergy), and no medicine is needed. But I will prescribe some ointment." That’s fine too.”
Then Aunt Liu cried and dragged the doctor to ask if she could still attend the Hundred Flowers Banquet. The doctor said many nice words to comfort him, but he didn't know whether it was to coax Aunt Liu not to drag him, or whether Wu Lixiang could really get better.
He had a peach blossom moss, and his faults were big or small, but the trouble was known to everyone in the prime minister's house. Wu Hantian had no choice but to go over and take a look, but left without even taking a stick of incense.
The old lady and the eldest lady rewarded many good things, and sent them all to Aunt Liu's yard. I don't know if they will be useful to Peach Blossom Moss.

From that day on, Wu Sheyue no longer got up early to offer tea and greet him.
That morning, she sat in the room and processed the details of the picture frame very carefully - the picture frame that she had told Ning'er not to touch anymore. At this time in the past, she should have been sitting with the old lady in Qunxingzhai for a while.
However, she was less than half an hour late when Jiang Qingxue, who had been cold to her for a long time, came to her door.
This time, Jiang Qingxue regained her usual amiable smile and walked into the west courtyard happily, as if Wu Sheyue had never offended Jiang Ying at all. Hongye behind her was holding a tray, and she didn't know what was under the cloth.
Ning'er ran out, greeted Jiang Qingxue and walked inside.
Jiang Qingxue came to Wu Sheyue's door. Ning'er lowered her head and knocked on the door hurriedly: "Miss, Madam is here to see you. You'd better come out."
After a while, a weak and pitiful voice came from the room: "Is mother here... I, I don't want to go out, please forgive me..."
Seeing Wu Sheyue's refusal to open the door and her pitiful tone, Jiang Qingxue did not pursue her disrespectful words. Her smile became gentler, and she coaxed her with kind words outside the door: "Yue'er, why don't you open the door? Your grandmother has made something good for you. Come out and have a look."
As soon as she finished speaking, Wu Sheyue inside could not help but cry.
"Yue'er, open the door. What's wrong with you?" Jiang Qingxue stepped forward anxiously and patted the door eagerly. Her very caring look was a bit fake, and Ning'er looked aside and lowered her head.
Jiang Qingxue suddenly turned her head and glared at Ning'er angrily, "What's wrong with Miss Third? I didn't even go to serve you with morning tea today! Aren't you a first-class maid? Is this how you serve me?"
Ning'er was very frightened and said: "This... the young lady refused to go out yesterday afternoon... This morning, the servant asked the young lady to get up and go to the old lady's place, but the young lady refused to show up... She also told the young lady not to disturb her and to stay away. .”
Listening to Ning'er's words, a smile flashed in Jiang Qingxue's eyes. She pushed the door open and walked in. Ning'er quickly followed.
As soon as she entered the door, Jiang Qingxue saw Wu Sheyue lying on the desk crying. When she saw someone coming in, she quickly buried her face in her sleeves and cried even more sadly.
Jiang Qingxue frowned slightly, looking worried. She stepped forward and patted Wu Sheyue on the back and said, "What's wrong with Yue'er? Who bullied you? Why haven't you gone out yet?"
As she spoke, she pulled Wu Sheyue's arm. Wu Sheyue cried and dodged a few times, but Jiang Qingxue still saw the bright red rash on her face.
"Ah - Yue'er, what's wrong with your face?"
Wu Sheyue covered her face and cried, evading, "That was it last night..."
Hongye, who was holding the tray, said in surprise: "Oh! Isn't this the same as the fourth lady's!"
"Quick! Show your mother quickly!" Jiang Qingxue held Wu Sheyue's hand and pulled it away. Many rashes appeared on Wu Sheyue's fair and smooth face. Although Ning'er was already prepared, her heart still shuddered.
The red leaves simply turned away and did not dare to look at them, as if they would be infected if they took one look at them.
Jiang Qingxue held Wu Sheyue's chin with one hand, and touched her face distressedly with the other. The raised texture of the rash felt on her fingertips, which actually made her feel happy. (To be continued)
