The inner room was dark, and the very simply decorated room was only filled with a faint bitter smell.
A few cups of half-drunk tea were placed randomly beside the round wooden table. Chen Jinghuai's servant was leaning on the table and taking a nap with squinted eyes.
When Bai Ruizhu entered the house, she saw such a scene.
However, as she arrived, the boy woke up quickly. Seeing that the person who came was Bai Ruizhu, the boy immediately greeted her enthusiastically.
"Miss Bai, you are here."
Bai Ruizhu nodded casually, looking at the two cups of tea that had obviously been moved on the table and said, "But someone has been here?"
The young man nodded, "Yes, today His Highness the Third and His Highness the Ninth came to see the young master. These two Highnesses have just left."
After hearing this, Bai Ruizhu quickly looked into the tent in the inner room. She said with concern, "Is uncle awake today?"
As soon as Bai Ruizhu mentioned this, the boy immediately frowned, "I haven't woken up yet. I don't know which evil spirit our young master has touched. Since he fell into coma last time, the young master has not woken up to this day."
After receiving such an answer, a look of self-blame appeared on Bai Ruizhu's cold face, "It's all my fault. If I had held on to the side of the boat that day, no matter how poor my rowing skills were, I would not have fallen into the water. If I hadn’t fallen into the water, my uncle wouldn’t be awake today just because he saved me.”
While speaking, Bai Ruizhu looked like she was about to cry again.
The young man already had great sympathy for Bai Ruizhu, who had a crush on his master. Now that he saw her blaming herself, he bravely said, "What does this matter have to do with you, girl? In my opinion, this matter is just You can blame the fourth lady. If she had rowed well, she wouldn't have caused the trouble today."
Bai Ruizhu still blamed herself, and the two had to chat for a while. After Bai Ruizhu's mood was calmed, the boy also knew that Bai Ruizhu was going on a blind date today, so when he saw the soup Bai Ruizhu brought, he took the initiative and said, "Miss , should I give you the medicine today?"
Bai Ruizhu didn't reply, but looked at him with confusion.
After all, during the days when Chen Jinghuai was in coma, he personally fed him the decoction.
Seeing Bai Ruizhu looking at him, the boy felt a little embarrassed. He seemed to be afraid that Bai Ruizhu would misunderstand, so he just scratched his head and said, "Miss Bai, don't you have to go to Lianyi Pavilion today? I think it's inconvenient for you." "
After listening to the boy's words, Bai Ruizhu suddenly put the medicine bowl aside. She was a little annoyed and said, "I just went to meet an irrelevant person. Why did you drive me away today? Am I so unbearable?" Do you want to be seen?"
While speaking, she only wrung the handkerchief in her hands, and her tears fell easily.
Her behavior made the young man at a loss. He quickly begged for mercy and said, "Auntie, what are you talking about? How dare I drive you away? In my heart, auntie, you are our young master's first wife."
Unexpectedly, as soon as he said this, Bai Ruizhu's tears fell even more violently.
"You still say such things, aren't you deliberately trying to bury me? If my uncle hears this, he may not know what he will think of me, not to mention that the one he wants to marry is the young lady from the Jiang family. And with me, a helpless person, What does it have to do with being an orphan?"
The young man who was hit by Bai Ruizhu's series of words felt that he was as big as two heads today.
This white girl is good at everything, and she is especially good to her young master. However, she is a bit intolerable in terms of her crying nature and her temperament.
Of course, even so, everyone in the house still really treated Bai Ruizhu as the young master's wife.
After all, although the young master had seen some girls before, most of the girls he had seen had nothing to do with him.
Only Miss Bai will never leave the young master.
But who could have thought that something like this would happen when the young master came back this time.
Therefore, the servants of the Chen family who originally sympathized with Bai Ruizhu's father and brother being imprisoned now feel even more pity for Bai Ruizhu who has become someone else's wedding dress because of her deep feelings.
"Miss Bai, I really don't mean this. Stop crying. You are just a little dumb and can't speak. You just have to do what you want." The boy said with a sad face.
Bai Ruizhu really stopped crying when she heard this. She picked up the medicine bowl again and walked towards the inner room.
But when she went to the inner room, she motioned to the boy to get another bowl of water for her.
This boy really didn't regard Bai Ruizhu as an outsider. After receiving the order, he left the house.
On the bed in the inner room, the sleeping man with his eyes closed was still as handsome as before.
Bai Ruizhu unconsciously put her hand on the man's face and stroked it gently.
Looking at the other person’s lively yet calm face
She sighed faintly, "Uncle, do you know how much Ruizhu likes you? Ruizhu gave up so much for uncle, but why doesn't uncle like Ruizhu?"
When speaking, her fingers only moved from Chen Jinghuai's eyebrows to his straight nose and thin lips, and finally the slender finger only landed on Chen Jinghuai's Adam's apple.
"Uncle, do you really want to marry that woman? Uncle, please don't marry that woman."
When Bai Ruizhu was talking to herself, her originally gentle eyebrows suddenly became sharp.
"If my uncle insists on marrying her, Ruizhu will have to use some extraordinary means. Although I fell into the water on purpose last time and didn't let my uncle go with me, this time I must let my uncle accompany me on this road to hell. Once. I don’t believe anyone can stop us this time.”
After saying that, Bai Ruizhu seemed to have made some kind of determination. She only took a mouthful of the soup and wanted to feed the bitter soup into Chen Jinghuai's lips through mouth-to-mouth contact.
But as soon as she took the decoction in her lips, someone slapped her on the back.
Bai Ruizhu was hit with a palm, and all the decoction in her mouth spurted out instantly.
Realizing that there was someone in the room, she looked behind her cautiously.
He saw a beautiful young man with a tall nose and deep eyes standing behind him, and a young man as gentle as jade.
They stood behind him like ghosts.
Bai Ruizhu panicked and said, "Who are you? How did you break into the general's mansion!"
However, no one responded to her question. Instead, the handsome young man with the tall nose and deep eyes took away the medicine first, and only put a silver needle into the medicine bowl. Within a moment, the silver needle turned black.
"There is indeed something wrong with this medicine. I can't explain how Brother Jinghuai could remain unconscious for a small drowning. It turns out you are really causing trouble!" the young man said as if it was none of his business.
Knowing that her traces were exposed, Bai Ruizhu said no more. She suddenly pulled out a dagger from her sleeve and stabbed the young man straight.
It's just that she is weak after all, and the young man can only dodge. Bai Ruizhu rushed to nothing.
She was about to change her direction and stab the boy, but the boy curled his lips and said with a smile, "You'd better not move. I just planted the heart-eating Gu on your back. Every step you take will make you miserable."
Although the young man warned like this, Bai Ruizhu obviously did not take the young man's warning to heart.
Then she took just one step, and her heart felt really painful.
Bai Ruizhu couldn't bear the pain, and the dagger in her hand clattered to the ground. She covered her heart in pain and squatted on the ground.
She looked at the two people in front of her angrily and wanted to curse a few words.
However, at this moment, the door of the room was pushed open. At the same time, the servant who had just been ordered could be heard loudly saying, "Miss Bai, the second lady asked the villain to urge the girl..."
Before the boy finished speaking, he was stunned by the scene in the room. He was holding a bowl of water and stared dumbfoundedly at Bai Ruizhu being suppressed to the ground by the Ninth Prince Zhao Lang.
He obviously didn't understand what they were doing.
As soon as Bai Ruizhu saw the boy, she immediately changed her fierce expression. She only looked pitiful and said, "Ahu, help me! These two people broke into my uncle's house without permission and want to humiliate me!"
Hearing this, the young man still looked dumbfounded. It took him a while to recover, "Your Highness, Third Highness, Your Highness, Ninth Highness, why are you here?"
Seeing the young boy suddenly barging in, Zhao Yanzhen, who was watching coldly, didn't panic at all. He just said with a serious face, "Go and invite the two ladies over. I have something to say."
"Ahu, don't go! Help me! They are bullying me!" Bai Ruizhu asked for help in a stern voice.
Looking at the two princes who dare not offend on one side, and the pitiful Bai Ruizhu on the other side.
The boy was obviously at a loss as well.
Bai Ruizhu cried out and begged again.
The contrast between strength and weakness is clear at a glance.
The boy naturally thought that these two princes were bullying Bai Ruizhu.
Therefore, he could only plead with Zhao Yanzhen, who seemed to be easy to talk to, "Your Highness, Miss Bai is a girl after all. Even if she bumped into you two, you two can just ask the girl to apologize. Why should we make it so embarrassing?" "
Zhao Yanzhen seemed too lazy to talk nonsense with the boy. He only said to Zhao Lang, "Alang, help Miss Bai aside and sit down."
Zhao Lang did as he was told, and even because Bai Ruizhu was bewitched by the Heart-Eating Gu, he very gentlemanly carried Bai Ruizhu to the yellow pear wood armchair nearby.
After helping Bai Ruizhu maintain some dignity, Zhao Yanzhen asked the boy, "Can I invite the two ladies over now?"
The boy obviously didn't understand the situation yet. But Bai Ruizhu shook her head vigorously at herself. The boy also stood hesitantly at the door and refused to leave.
Seeing this, Zhao Yanzhen's already serious face became even more indifferent, and although his voice was very calm, the meaning of his words was extremely harsh.
"What? Are you going to disobey my king's order?"
Although Zhao Yanzhen's expression remained as usual, there was a faint aura of coercion from a superior person around him.
Naturally, the boy didn't dare to linger any longer. Although Bai Ruizhu was still calling him not to leave, the boy could only say, "Miss Bai, I will be back soon."
After saying that, without waiting for Bai Ruizhu to reply, the boy hurried away.
Soon the first lady and the second lady of the Chen family arrived in the east chamber where Chen Jinghuai was.
When the two of them saw His Highness the Third and His Highness Ninth being in the same room as Bai Ruizhu, they both had blank expressions on their faces.
Bai Ruizhu saw that there was no room for change, so she loudly begged for mercy to her second wife Bai Suyi, "Auntie, save me!"
After all, these two ladies were Bai Ruizhu's aunt. At this moment, she saw Bai Ruizhu's painful expression. Although she knew that it was not easy to offend these two people, she still felt a little unhappy.
"Your Highnesses are holding the pistil beads privately. What do you want to do?"
Zhao Yanzhen did not answer immediately, and only asked Zhao Lang to put a new silver needle into the soup brought by Bai Ruizhu.
Within a moment, the silver needle turned black.
