Youqing is seventeen years old this year, two years older than her. The two of them grew up together, and they are more like sisters than master and servant.
Youqing was the kind of person who would give up his life for her. In his last life, when he was being chastised by Mrs. Fu, Youqing was mostly the one standing in front of him.
But not long after she married into the Fu family, Youqing contracted a serious illness and died early. Before he died, he held her hand, his eyes full of reluctance and worry.
As for the fragrant plum she was talking about just now, it was the maid given to her by her grandmother years ago after she came to Beijing.
In the last life, Youqing suddenly had a bad stomach before going out, so she had to ask Xiangmei to follow her. Later, it was Xiangmei who led her father to find her. Immediately afterwards, the second aunt, Luo Ruxue and the others followed closely.
Before my father could stop him, the news spread.
After marrying into the Fu family, Xiangmei kept saying that she endured the humiliation and became Fu Shiheng's aunt in order to gain her favor.
However, after becoming the aunt of the Crown Prince of the Duke of Jing, Xiangmei seemed like a different person. She followed the Duke's wife every day to greet her and completely forgot about her original master.
If it was just this, Luo Ran didn't hate her. After all, a good bird chooses the right tree to live in.
What she hates is that when she was slandered by Luo Ruxue for cheating on Song Qingyou, Xiangxue actually stood up and pointed out that she had been entangled with Song Qingyou before she got married, thus convicting her of Hongxing's affair.
Luo Ran put away her thoughts. In this life, she has not seen Xiangxue until now. It must be because of Fu Jinan, but she doesn't know whether she is dead or alive.
Under Youqing's service, Luo Ran took off his clothes, and the marks on his body became clearer.
There are dots of red plums on the snowy peaks, the thin waist is bruised and purple, and the straight and slender thighs, there is simply no good spot.
The most serious problem was my feet. I had been dragging my embroidered shoes for a whole street. It was such a winter day and my heels were already red and swollen from the cold. The soles of the feet and toes were all worn out, dripping with blood, and horrible to look at.
Luo Ran's eyes fell on his chest, and he suddenly remembered what the man said, and his face turned red as blood.
She was young but didn't care. She only cared about the distressed young lady and cried from beginning to end.
After taking a bath, he applied ointment to her carefully, then covered her with the quilt, and cried to comfort her: "Miss, don't be afraid, just sleep, she will be fine tomorrow."
Luo Ran nodded, raised his hand to wipe away his blue tears, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, it just looks scary, it doesn't hurt."
Youqing frowned: "My lady is just trying to comfort me! How can it not hurt! Okay, madam, go to sleep now. My lady will stay by your side and won't go anywhere!"
Luo Ran smiled: "Okay."
Then he closed his eyes obediently.
Having just come back from rebirth, facing a completely different situation from his previous life, Luo Ran thought he would not be able to sleep. Who knows, maybe he was very tired, and fell into a deep sleep not long after closing his eyes.
It was quiet here, but the west courtyard of Duke Jingguo's Mansion was brightly lit.
Chang Ying saw the Lord staring at the clothes on the desk without saying a word and not knowing what he was thinking, so he boldly said: "Sir, I found out that the glass of wine was served by a maid in Cao Guifei's palace. Originally, It’s for His Royal Highness, but..."
But it accidentally entered his mouth.
Fu Jinan's lips curled up slightly: "It's too much of a coincidence to be a coincidence. Put this matter aside for now and help me ask the emperor for something."
Changying immediately cheered up: "Yes!"
He just said that if someone plotted against you, you couldn't just let it go.
Fu Jinan stretched out a finger, gently picked up a pink bellyband embroidered with plum blossoms, and said slowly: "After you get the things, put these together and send them to the Champion Marquis' Mansion."
Early the next morning, Luo Ran was awakened by the noise outside.
"Green again."
Luo Ran's voice was a little hoarse and he called out, but Youqing didn't hear him.
Just as he was about to call again, he saw Youqing coming in with an angry look on his face.
Perhaps he didn't expect her to wake up. Youqing had no time to put away the expression on her face, so she changed the topic: "Miss is awake, do you want to drink some water?"
Luo Ran looked at her, then looked out the window, and nodded.
Youqing helped her sit up and brought her a glass of warm water.
Luo Ran drank a whole glass of water with her hand. His throat felt better now, and he asked, "What's going on outside?"
Youqing hesitated for a moment and said, "It's nothing. Have you slept well, young lady? I will send someone to the kitchen now. The master ordered the kitchen last night to specially cook the best blood swallow. It should be just right to drink now."
Luo Ran also knew that he was a little weak now, so he didn't show off.
Youqing saw that she not only ate the bird's nest, but also ate two fried buns and a bowl of porridge, and he was immediately happy.
In the past, the young lady ate too little and her bones were so weak. The weather in the capital was no better than that in the south of the Yangtze River. People could freeze to death when they went out. How could they not eat more?
Luo Ran didn't know why he had such a good appetite today. He looked at the clean porcelain bowl and said with a smile: "Maybe this bird's nest is delicious? It is indeed a reward from the palace. It is indeed better than what we have in Jiangnan."
Youqing sneered: "Isn't that right? Otherwise, why would anyone be staring at Miss's bowl of bird's nests so early in the morning?"
"what happened?"
Luo Ran remembered the noise in the yard in the morning.
Seeing that Miss Qing had finished her meal, she said angrily: "She's not the Second Miss, but her face is just a little injured. I wish the whole government would have to let her go! If you are sick, go and see a doctor. Eat it." Will the bird’s nest be good?”
"Besides, if you want to eat, go buy it yourself! Why do you want this from me, young lady! This is a gift from the emperor to the master, what does it have to do with them!"
Listening to Youqing's nagging in his ears, Luo Ran smiled bitterly: Even Youqing understands the truth, it's ridiculous that he had to die once before he could understand it.
In the last life, because of her second aunt's sweet words, she was willing to give Luo Ruxue any good things. Even when she knew that she also liked her husband, he generously made arrangements to welcome her into the Fu family.
"By the way, the old lady also sent someone here this morning. When she saw that you were not awake, she went back."
You are green and you are talking.
Luo Ran put away his thoughts, nodded, and said, "It's almost time, we should go and pay our respects to our grandmother."
Luo Ruxue must have complained by now.
Sure enough, Luo Ran had just entered Ningfuyuan, and before entering the room, he heard the aggrieved voice of the girl inside.
"Grandma, you don't feel bad for Xue'er anymore, and my sister doesn't feel bad for Xue'er anymore! I wanted to eat bird's nest this morning, but the people in the kitchen said that it was for my sister, and they said they wouldn't let my maid touch it!"
When Luo Ran came in, he saw Luo Ruxue nestling in her grandmother's arms. Her grandmother had a distressed look on her face and shouted while holding her beloved.
Seeing her coming in, Mrs. Li deliberately pulled Luo Ruxue's arm and scolded: "You kid, you are talking nonsense! How could your eldest sister be so ignorant that she competes with you for a bowl of bird's nests!"
"Ouch! Look, Xue'er, isn't your eldest sister here to give you bird's nests?"
Mrs. Luo raised her eyes and glanced at Luo Ran. Although she was not warm, she was not so cold either: "You are here. I heard your father say last night that you were frightened. Are you feeling better?"
Luo Ran bent his knees slightly, bowed, and said, "Thank you for your concern, grandma. I'm fine now."
Hearing the sound, Luo Ruxue sat up from the old lady's arms. Half of her face was swollen. She looked at Luo Ran as if she had been greatly wronged and accused: "Sister, Xue'er has always treated you as my own. Look, sister, if you also like to eat bird's nests, Xue'er, Xue'er doesn't have to eat them."
After saying that, he took the handkerchief and started crying again.
Anyone who saw it would have thought that Luo Ran, the elder sister, was bullying the younger sister in the mansion based on her status as soon as she returned to Beijing.
