Thinking that Taoye never said much in front of the fifth young master, he only flattered him blindly.
Sure enough, if he wants to be favored, he still needs to learn more from Hu Meizi's methods.
"You don't have to follow me into the palace today, just stay in the courtyard and keep an eye on me!"
Walking outside the yard, Rong Jiu left Xingyun behind.
"yes!"
Xingyun knew what his master meant. Yesterday Qin's mother led someone to force Nanyun's mother out of the dressing room. The old lady might not be willing to let it go.
After Taoye came out of the main room, she went back to the west wing and prepared to sleep for another hour.
At the second quarter of the morning, Taoye got up and was about to call a boy to ask the doctor to come over.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he left the door, he saw Xingyun coming in with the doctor.
"Miss Taoye!"
Xingyun nodded towards Taoye.
"Brother Xingyun, why didn't you accompany the fifth young master to the palace today?"
The two of them have always been close to the fifth young master.
"It's the Fifth Young Master's order!"
There is always little talk.
"I'll take the doctor to the back!"
With Xingyun around, Taoye is indeed relieved. Even if something happens again in Shouantang, she won't be alone.
"Nanyun, the doctor is here!"
When they got out of the house, Taoye went in first and said something. After Nanyun Niang was helped up, she led the doctor inside.
"Doctor, is my mother seriously injured?"
Seeing the doctor taking the pulse and shaking his head several times, Nan Yun became a little anxious.
"The injuries on her body are one thing. After all, her muscles and bones are not hurt, and there is no major hindrance. But her body is extremely weak. If she doesn't take good care of her, she may only have three or two years left!"
"Please also ask the doctor to take the trouble to prescribe some medicine for recovery. We can think of a solution for how much money it costs!"
Seeing the mother and daughter, one feeling guilty and the other smiling reassuringly, Taoye stepped forward and said.
"Silver is not an issue. When the fifth young master came to invite people, he already stated that the money can come from his side alone!"
"But with her body, it's best to do light work in the future. If she gets involved in heavy work again, no matter how many tonics she takes, it won't help!"
There are two doctors in the Duke's mansion. The one who came here is named Tian. He has received favors from Rong Jiu and is regarded as the wife's head in this mansion.
Today, the fifth young master's attendant personally went to invite him, and Doctor Tian said a few more words.
"Thank you doctor, we know!"
Taoye bowed and said to Nanyun:
"Nanyun, follow the doctor to get some medicine!"
"Your mother, I'm here, it'll be okay!"
Seeing that Nanyun was hesitant, Taoye persuaded again.
In the end, Nan Yun went out with the doctor.
"I know you don't want to implicate Nanyun, but Nanyun is a filial person. Yesterday, Mother Wang threatened you so she was taken away without any resistance!"
"And you also saw how guilty Nan Yun was in her eyes when the doctor said those words. If you really leave, she will probably be depressed in the future!"
Taoye sat by the bed, straightened the quilt for the person on the bed, and said slowly.
She saw that Nanyun Niang had just heard that she still had three or two years to live, and the look on her face was one of relief rather than sadness.
Nanyun is the fifth young master's confidant. If she had made a request, the fifth young master would probably agree.
But the person on the bed has been suffering in the laundry room.
There was only one reason, that is, Nanyun Niang wouldn't let her mention it.
"girl……"
Nanyun Niang He's chapped lips trembled slightly.
"As long as a person is alive, there is still hope for everything. Now, aren't you mother and daughter reunited? Nanyun is helpless in this house, and he is almost at the age of marriage. Can you rest assured? What if another son of the Lu family is like that? Only you are willing to risk your life to protect her!"
Taoye continued.
"If you really feel sorry for Nayun, just stay here to recuperate and let her feel at ease!"
"If she is worried and sad about you all day long, and cannot serve the master wholeheartedly, there will really be no hope for her in the future!"
These words touched Mr. He's heart: "What the girl said is that I will take good care of myself as soon as possible so that Nan Yun can feel at ease and get up to work earlier!"
"You're right to think so!"
Taoye did not emphasize that he was not in a hurry to work, but said with a smile.
Taoye was considerate and good at talking, but he didn't expect that after He figured it out, he could talk well and was nothing like those rough ladies.
Therefore, when Nanyun came back, the two of them had already had a very good chat.
After Nanyun prepared the medicine, Taoye returned to his house, leaving the mother and daughter alone.
Returning to the west wing, closing the door, Taoye sat quietly at the table for a while, then got up and walked to the north of the room, struggled to move the cabinet a little open, reached out and took out a ball of things wrapped in cotton.
After confirming that there was no other movement outside, he opened the layers of cotton cloth, revealing the jade pendant that was as red as blood inside.
Her eyes slowly turned red. The words she just said to Nan Yun's mother were not all for Nan Yun's sake, but also because she thought of her own mother.
My father had died that year, so how would my mother, a weak woman, lead her eldest brother's life? Isn't it like Nanyun's mother suffered the same hardships?
Ke Nanyun can still be close to her mother, but she still doesn't know where her relatives are.
She missed her mother and eldest brother.
However, her weight in the fifth young master's heart is not important enough.
Even though he is in love with her body, the fifth young master is not a lustful person, and it is not easy to check the register.
She actually had some thoughts. If her mother and eldest brother had saved their lives and had not encountered human traffickers like her, they would not have gone far. The most likely place would be in Yunzhou or the prefectures and counties near Yunzhou.
Perhaps, she could first ask the Fifth Young Master to check the local household registration in Yunzhou.
In this way, it will be much easier.
This jade pendant cannot be seen by others. Taoye couldn't help but take it out for a look and quickly put it back.
Seeing the little silver fox next to him purring, Taoye released it, put it in his arms and touched it gently.
The little silver fox is extremely intelligent. It only whines when it sees peach leaves during the day, but does not make any noise at night.
"Sister Taoye! Sister Taoye!"
Taoye heard someone calling her outside, so she put the little silver fox back into the cage, opened the door, and went out.
There seemed to be a dispute at the gate of the courtyard.
From a distance, the figure of the maid outside looked particularly familiar, and Tao Ye took a few steps closer.
"Sister Taoye, it's me, Hehua!"
"Lotus, why are you here?"
They are really acquaintances.
"Brother Xingyun, I know this maid, let her come in!"
Xingyun, who was blocking the door, finally moved away.
"Sister Taoye, please save Mother Tian. The steward of the big kitchen said that she took advantage of the master's status and stole those precious ingredients, so she was locked up!"
As soon as Hehua came in, she took Taoye's hand and said eagerly.
"Speak slowly, what is going on?"
