"Old madam, don't be so angry with yourself!"
After finally getting rid of Cao's entanglement, he ordered his servants to settle his granddaughter.
In the carriage, Mrs. Chu leaned against the wall with a pale face, and the maids on both sides kept stroking her heart.
"Just a dandy from a run-down uncle's house wants to marry my Yun Rou. What a wishful thinking!"
Mrs. Chu considered herself to be a well-educated person, but when she encountered Mr. Cao's rudeness, she wanted to yell, but she managed to hold it back, but she almost took it back in anger.
The two personal maids waited for a long time before Mrs. Chu's expression calmed down.
Not to mention what Mr. Xie heard about his granddaughter's beauty on his way back home. After returning home, he got angry at Xie Yunrou, who had just woken up, and even ordered the person to be confined in his room.
In the outer courtyard of Duke Jingguo, Tao Ye was sleeping deeply in Rong Jiu's room.
I don't know if it was Nan Yun's illusion, but after the fifth young master left, the girl seemed to feel more at ease, and she didn't move around, she just lay quietly.
Rong Jiu entered the room, first raised her hand to avoid Nan Yun from saluting, and then looked at the person on the bed.
"After the girl drank the medicine, her body was no longer as hot as before!"
Nanyun said softly.
"Fifth Young Master..."
At this time, a weak voice came from the bed.
"woke up?"
Rong Jiu sat down on the bedside and gently stroked Taoye's face with the back of her hand. It was indeed not that hot anymore, but the little maid's face was still pink.
"Has the Fifth Young Master always been with this slave?"
Taoye's voice was hoarse due to fever.
Rong Jiu did not answer Tao Ye's words, but first signaled Nan Yun to step back.
"I have already taken back the injustice you suffered today!"
When there were only two people left in the room, Rong Jiu hugged him in his arms and whispered into Tao Ye's left ear. The two people's faces were pressed together, and there was a special kind of affection, especially the warmth on Tao Ye's body. It hasn't subsided yet, and is warm and soft when touched.
"Slave, thank you, Fifth Young Master!"
Taoye did not ask Rong Jiu how to get justice for her.
Although she was shivering from the cold when she was rescued just now, she also saw who Xie Yunrou was rescued and how she looked with the old lady's grandnephew.
Tao Ye felt uncomfortable being held like this, but there was nothing strange about her face. Instead, she looked extremely attached to Rong Jiu, almost a little sticky.
Rong Jiu saw that the little maid was calm and calm, which made her feel quite strange.
Rong Jiu held peach leaves in his arms for lunch and dinner that day, which made Qing Xing, the waiter next to him, unable to hide the jealousy in his eyes.
She couldn't help but blame Zhao Jin for being slow. If this continued, the Fifth Young Master would become more and more fond of Tao Ye, and she had offended Tao Ye. There would be no place for her in this yard.
After dinner, Taoye drank two more bowls of medicine and fell asleep in Rongjiu's arms.
When I woke up the next day, there was no one around me.
"Nanyun, what time is it?"
Taoye's voice seemed hoarse.
"It's almost time. The fifth young master gave orders before he left. The girl will rest in this room and there is no need to move!"
Seeing Taoye trying to stand up, Nanyun hurriedly raised his voice to stop him.
"It's better to go back to the west wing and sleep peacefully, and there are no such rules!"
It was okay for her to rest in the main room yesterday, but today the fifth young master is not here. If she stays here again, I am afraid that Zhao Jin and others will secretly send a message to the lady in the backyard.
Madam is busy looking for a suitable marriage for the fifth young master these days. Although she is somewhat fond of and tolerant to her, she had already used anti-child medicine before, so she obviously would not let her break the rules.
Although the master's words were there, Taoye's words made sense, and after what happened with the Lu family, Nanyun felt grateful to Taoye, and he obeyed his words on these matters.
After helping Taoye get dressed, Nanyun helped her back to the bed in the west wing and leaned against her.
"Girl, Mrs. Xie personally came to pick up Miss Xie San yesterday. She met the old lady and her young cousin at the door. I heard that a big joke was made. Mrs. Xie was almost pulled to book Miss Xie on the spot. Regarding the marriage between the young lady and the young cousin, now everyone outside is probably aware of what happened in the garden of the mansion yesterday, and Miss Xie San will never have the opportunity to bully the girl again in the future!"
After hearing this, Taoye raised her head and glanced at Nanyun strangely. She remembered that Nanyun didn't like to gossip. Even if she was grateful to her for her mother's affairs, she wouldn't say these words suddenly.
"The fifth young master was afraid that the girl would still be worried and depressed because of her illness, so he specifically told the slave to tell her!"
Nanyun said.
It turned out to be the fifth young master's intention. Taoye's face showed gratitude at the right time, but her heart was very calm.
The fifth young master never acts for just one purpose. He may vent his anger for her, but more often, it is because of considerations that she cannot understand.
"Peach leaves!"
At this time, following a call from outside, a familiar figure entered the room.
"Xiu Yin is here!"
A smile appeared on Taoye's face.
"How come you're like this again after not seeing each other for a few days?"
Xiu Yin sat down by the bed and looked at Tao Ye's weak appearance, her eyes instantly turned red.
"Girl, let me go back to the backyard and take care of my mother!"
Nanyun left the house to the two of them.
"How are you? Are you okay? Master Wu, have you asked the doctor to see you? Why did you fall into the water so well? It's such a cold weather!"
When there were only two people left, Xiuyin felt less scrupulous about speaking.
"I've seen it, it's nothing serious, I just need to rest for a few days!"
Taoye learned from Nanyun that the fifth young master called the young master Pei to come for a consultation yesterday. No wonder the ringing in her ears was not as severe today, and she could hear clearer sounds in her right ear.
"It's true that your injuries behind your back haven't fully healed yet. Why did you get up in a hurry? You weren't afraid of exposing the root cause of your illness!"
Xiuyin's walking was not smooth, and she turned slightly sideways when sitting on the edge of the bed, showing that the injury behind her was still painful.
"I've been fine for a long time. I've been lying in bed these days and I just need to move around!"
"I wanted to come over after hearing what happened yesterday, but Mama Cai stopped me. I was afraid of causing trouble to you, so I endured it until today!"
"Fortunately, you didn't come yesterday. I fell asleep all the time yesterday. Even if you came, you wouldn't be able to see anyone!"
Taoye nodded. He rested in the main room yesterday. Even if Xiuyin came, he couldn't come in to visit.
"Xiuyin, do you have something to say?"
Taoye asked suspiciously when she saw the eagerness in Xiuyin's face and her hesitation in speaking.
"I...actually, when I came here, Mother Cai gave me a few special instructions to remind you!"
Xiuyin looked at Taoye and hesitated for a moment before saying the next words:
"The fifth young master personally went into the water to save you yesterday. Now the servants in the mansion are saying that the fifth young master treats you more favorably than the Duke of Guo treats Aunt Luo. Mother Cai thinks these words are not good, so please pay attention!"
