After Ling Yun was astonished, her eyes gradually became sinister, and she looked at Xie Wanyu coldly. Suddenly, she seemed to have thought of her current desolate state, and hurriedly turned her head, trying to pretend not to see it.
It is said that people are judged by their clothes, Xie Wanyu has seen it today.
Lingyun, who had been stripped of her finery and hairpin, now looked worse than the maids in the house.
Xie Wanyu is not that kind-hearted. It is impossible for her to feel pity for Lingyun when she is in a state of desolation and not care about what she did before. However, she is not a vicious person either. "Zhufang, go and give her a piece of silver. Let her have a place to stay.”
"But, madam..." Zhu Fang was unwilling. She had heard about what Ling Yun did because she was also in the palace at the time.
"You go and give it away, but with her temperament, she probably won't want it." Xie Wanyu said calmly.
There is only so much she can do. Now that she has just been kicked out, everyone is waiting and watching. If she is still wandering on the street in a few days, there is no guarantee that she will not be targeted by bandits and gangsters. A woman, helpless and helpless Damn it, I'm afraid it's hard to escape.
If there was a place to stay, it would at least be safer.
Although Zhu Fang was unwilling, looking at Xie Wanyu's pale face, she still couldn't bear to brush her off, so she could only give the money to Ling Yun.
Lingyun looked at the ingot of silver and couldn't help but feel angry, "You are insulting me!"
"If you insult me, I'll beat you with a stick. Don't be ignorant. Our lady is kind-hearted and willing to help." Zhu Fang put the money in front of her.
Lingyun's face turned red, as if he had suffered a great humiliation, and his eyes widened, "Although I am down and out, I can't be humiliated like this!"
Her voice was loud, even a little sharp, completely different from the pride she had before.
Zhufang was already angry, but she saw Xie Wanyu vomiting blood in front of her, so she simply threw the money at Lingyun's feet, "Do you want it or not? However, I heard that Mrs. Ning was drinking bird's nest in the yard. Well, I guess I don't want to see you at all." After saying that, she closed the corner door.
Lingyun looked at the closed door and spat fiercely, "Bah, a slave dares to show off his power in front of me. I will make sure you look good."
She looked at the silver at her feet, looked around, and picked it up.
She has never lived like this since she was a child. Now she is already hungry and her clothes are extremely thin. Her innate pride has long been forgotten by her. She plans to eat something good. .
Just as he was walking out of the alley, a carriage stopped next to him.
"Princess Lingyun!"
Lingyun turned around, and after seeing the person clearly, the color returned to his face.
Qi Ranyuan.
Xie Wanyu was lying on the couch, listening to Zhu Fang say, "My servant secretly looked through the crack in the door. She really picked up the silver."
"I said she wouldn't want it because I was afraid that you wouldn't give it to her. If a woman really lives on the street, her virginity may not be guaranteed. She is certainly hateful, but I will give her a chance." Xie Wanyu said coldly,
She was saved by someone in her previous life, but she saved herself in this life, so she thought it was a good deed.
Zhu Fang frowned, "But I don't appreciate it at all. Madam, why are you doing this?"
At this moment, the little maid at the door came to announce that Xiao Jinmin was here.
Xie Wanyu nodded towards Zhufang.
Then, the door opened and Zhu Fang showed a smile, "The second young master is here."
"Yeah." Xiao Jinmin responded casually and walked in with his hands behind his back.
Although he was recognized not long ago, he seems to have become accustomed to his life as a young master, and it can be said that he is comfortable with it.
Xie Wanyu supported her arms, "If you don't have a good rest in the North Courtyard, why are you still here?"
"My son was very worried when he heard that his mother was poisoned, so he came here to have a look." Although he showed a submissive look, the hatred in his eyes could not be wiped away.
Xie Wanyu said with a smile that did not reach her eyes, "You are filial."
"Being filial to your mother is what a child should do." Xiao Jinmin said loudly.
But Xie Wanyu didn't buy it. He was like this in his previous life, which made her think that her adopted son was a good one. After years of careful upbringing, he raised a white-eyed wolf.
If she had been more careful in her previous life, it would not be difficult to see the hatred in his eyes.
At this time, there was a knock on the door, and the girl who was making medicine brought the medicine bowl in. The strong smell of medicine rushed into the room mixed with air-conditioning, and Xie Wanyu coughed.
Zhufang glared at the girl and told her to get out quickly.
Seeing Xie Wanyu coughing heartbreakingly, Xiao Jinmin wanted to take a step back, but seeing that Zhu Fang was still there, he could only hold back and step forward, "Is mother okay?" He gently patted Xie Wanyu's back twice.
"Madam." Zhu Fang walked over and said, "Second Young Master, please rest. There are slaves here."
She patted Xie Wanyu's back and poured another glass of water.
After drinking the water, Xie Wanyu stopped coughing and said in a hoarse voice, "I don't know what happened. My body is not as good as before. You should come here less often to avoid getting sick."
Hearing what Xie Wanyu said, Xiao Jinmin's eyes lit up. After all, he was a seven-year-old child and it was difficult to hide his inner thoughts.
He knew very well that once Xie Wanyu died, their family of three would be reunited.
Although he was happy in his heart, he still said, "Mother must take good care of her health, and her son must be filial to his mother."
After a few simple words, Xiao Jinmin left.
Xie Wanyu then sat up and looked at the still warm decoction from that night, "I feel much better now. Let's pour it down."
At first, she used medicine to stimulate the poison in her body. Now that the medicine has taken effect, she has recovered somewhat. However, the strange poison in her body is difficult to show, so it has no effect on her body for the time being.
"Madam, you'd better drink a little, I think you don't look good." Zhu Fang said worriedly.
"No more drinking. I'll rest for a while. I guess Xiao Mingxuan will come over soon." Xie Wanyu said.
As the eldest son, Xiao Mingxuan had to do some face-saving work like this.
However, Xie Wanyu thought wrong. Xiao Mingxuan was raised to be extremely arrogant. He felt that Xie Wanyu had usurped his mother's position early on. Now that he saw that Xie Wanyu had adopted another son, he felt that she was also trying to usurp the position of his eldest son. Go.
So I was extremely resentful of Xie Wanyu, so much so that I didn't even bother to do superficial things.
Of course Xie Wanyu didn't know this. Seeing that the sky was getting dark and Xiao Mingxuan still had no intention of coming, she understood a little bit in her heart.
Seeing that Xie Wanyu looked lonely, Aunt He comforted her, "Brother Xuan is busy with his studies now and has too much time to take care of himself. It's not that he doesn't come to see you."
Xie Wanyu sneered, "I am his aunt, and he is just a few steps away from my yard, but he doesn't even want to take a look."
Compared to Xiao Jinmin, Xie Wanyu devoted more to Xiao Mingxuan. After all, this was her eldest sister's flesh and blood, and she cared about family ties. Unfortunately, her sincere treatment only resulted in endless resentment.
"That's all, make the bed, I'll go to bed early."
