Although Mrs. Cao came down the steps by herself, she felt she had lost face and went into the house with a sullen face.
Luo Shi still lowered his body and waited on the side attentively, without even looking at Tao Ye.
Even Taoye admired his forbearance.
"You all get up!"
Gu Yunqing knew that Shouantang was using this matter to embarrass Taoye. The biggest reason was that her mother-in-law didn't like them and their son. She probably also had the anger from the conflict over Rong Hui a few days ago.
Tao Ye, this maid, used to have a smooth life by her side, but when she went to Ajiu's side, she was in all kinds of troubles. She felt a little guilty when she thought about it.
"Mother, please go to Maoguo Duke's Mansion first. My son is responsible for things here!"
Mrs. Mao Guogong personally sent someone to invite her, so Gu Yunqing had to go there.
"Then let Huicao and the others stay, and you should leave here as soon as possible!"
Gu Yunqing nodded, gave instructions to his son, and took Biyun and Bixiao outside.
"Fifth Young Master!"
Taoye saw the group of cyan figures raising their legs to leave. Not only did she not get up, but she called out anxiously.
"What, it hurts so much that you can't walk?"
Rong Jiu walked to Tao Ye and asked in a deep voice.
"No...Xiu Yin is seriously injured. There may be a lot of chaos in the sewing room at the moment. I want to ask the fifth young master for permission to let her go to the slave room to recuperate!"
Not hearing Yunzhun's words, Taoye took two more steps on her knees, gently tugged on the corner of the robe of the person in front of her, raised her head, her eyes were red: "It was Xiuyin who was protecting this slave, so that I could see you safely." Fifth Young Master, I beg you!"
"Can!"
Rong Jiu's eyes moved from the brown scars exposed on the side of the scattered cuffs to the knees stuck on the bluestone, and nodded.
"Thank you, Fifth Young Master!"
After hearing this, Taoye looked happy, followed Huicao's support and walked quickly to Xiuyin, who was already a little confused. She was about to move forward while holding her hand.
Gu Yunqing kept four second-class maids, and it was more than enough to support them. But with Tao Ye standing there, the other three had no room to intervene.
"Sister Taoye, Miss Xiuyin is with us, just watch from the side!"
Huicao advised.
"Okay, I'm sorry to bother you!"
Her knees hurt a little from the knock just now. She took two steps that were not very smooth and she was not pushy. She thanked a few people and walked aside.
Xiu Yin was seriously injured and had to be supported by two maids on the left and right. Therefore, it took a long time to return to the outer courtyard.
"Go and ask the government doctor to come over!"
As soon as they entered the courtyard, Rong Jiu ordered Gui Yun and entered the study.
"Be careful, don't get hurt!"
Taoye watched Huicao and others help move Xiuyin to the bed.
"Sister Taoye, we don't want to stay in the front yard for too long, so we're going back first!"
"Okay, thank you for your hard work!"
After sending Huicao away, Taoye took her own dress and put it on Xiuyin.
Nanyun went to fetch some water again.
"Xiu Yin..."
Although there were people supporting her along the way, the injuries on her body were not minor. Xiuyin's messy temples were covered in painful cold sweat. Taoye felt extremely guilty while wiping her gently.
Since being separated from his family, this is the first time someone is willing to risk his own life to save himself.
"Between you and me, there is no need to say anything about guilt. Today it was my carelessness in doing things that caused you trouble. Moreover, the old lady and Aunt Luo were originally targeting you. If that plan really hits you, you will probably end up in trouble." Disabled!"
Xiuyin took Taoye's hand and shook her head.
Taoye's heart was even more panicked. Since Xiuyin could see that the old lady and Aunt Luo were here for her, it was not difficult to think that the torture she suffered today was all because of her.
But Xiuyin always took the blame on herself.
"Don't worry, I have excellent wound medicine here that the Fifth Young Master rewarded. I'll take care of the wound behind your back first!"
It has happened, and there is no point in saying more.
Tao Ye has been injured every now and then since she entered this courtyard, and her gestures of applying medicine have become more and more skillful. With Nan Yun's help, the medicine has been applied to all the wounds on Xiu Yin's back before the doctor came.
The medicine had the effect of soothing labor pain, so when the doctor came, Xiu Yin had already fallen asleep.
"Don't worry, Miss Taoye. Although this girl is seriously injured, her muscles and bones are not hurt. She will recover after a while. I have some medicine for her injuries. Remember to give it to her. In addition, I will prescribe a few more medicines. Give it to the girl to drink, take it internally or externally, and the injury will heal faster!"
"If there are other symptoms of discomfort in the future, Miss Taoye will have people look for me again!"
"Thank you doctor!"
Taoye took the medicine and bowed to thank him.
"I don't want to be a girl's gift. If there is nothing else, I will go back first!"
"Walk slowly!"
Although the doctor was extremely humble, Taoye still sent the person outside the hospital in person.
When he passed by the study when he came back, Taoye thought for a moment and then changed his steps.
"Don't worry, Fifth Young Master, our people are here at Maoguo Duke's Mansion. Any news will come immediately!"
As soon as she walked to the door, Taoye heard Xingyun's voice reporting. Taoye was startled and stopped in a hurry.
"Who's out there?"
Before she could think about the meaning of that sentence, Xingyun suddenly appeared in front of her.
"I'm here to see the fifth young master..."
Taoye wanted to run away immediately, but she didn't dare to move her feet.
"Let her in!"
Rong Jiu's voice came from inside.
"yes!"
Xingyun stepped aside. Taoye didn't want to go in at all, but he didn't dare to disobey orders. He lowered his head and carefully walked to the desk and saluted.
"What did you hear?"
A faint question made Tao Yexin couldn't help but raise her voice.
"This slave heard the last words of Brother Xingyun, and the Fifth Young Master has placed manpower in the Maoguo Duke's Mansion!"
She really only listened to one sentence today and was discovered. If she said she didn't know, she would be suspected and listened to more words.
"I'm having a good sleep today!"
"Why don't you act out a realistic play to fool this young master like you did in the academy?"
Rong Jiu stood up from the desk, walked to Tao Ye, and said jokingly.
"I know my crime, please master, please punish me!"
She had already taken advantage of Qingmei's incident to reveal the incident of eavesdropping in the academy, but she was not panicking and admitted her mistake frankly.
"Get up and come over here!"
Rong Jiu crossed the peach leaves and sat down on the collapse.
"Sit!"
Taoye looked at the familiar celadon medicine bottle in Rong Jiu's hand and sat down obediently.
She had experienced the last time when the medicine was applied. When her leg was suddenly lifted and placed on the knee, she didn't make a sound and just supported her body with her hands.
The injury on her knee was quite serious. Not only was it bruised, but the skin was also broken. It was extremely painful to rub it, but she endured it.
After the medicine was applied to both knees, Taoye's eyes became more red.
"Thank you to the fifth young master! I also thanked the fifth young master for the palace doctor's affairs!"
The doctor's words were a little too thoughtful and polite just now. Someone must have given him instructions.
"Xingyun, bring the things in!"
