Back at Ningyuan, Xu Wanning was a little tired. She ate a few bites of lunch and then went to bed.
In addition to always having trouble sleeping when she was first reborn, Xu Wanning also had an extremely troubled sleep during her midday nap today.
The past she never dared to recall suddenly came back to life.
Xu Wanning dreamed of Pei Heng.
At the age of seventeen, Pei Heng was a little green but high-spirited.
That young man was dressed in red, with tall black hair, red lips and white teeth, and a face like a crown jewel. No matter where Xu Wanning went, he was the most talked about topic among the rich ladies of the aristocratic families. Every word was full of admiration, and every word was full of admiration. It's adoration.
At the Haitang Poetry Club, Xu Wanning was a merchant's daughter and could only sit at the back. But Pei Heng was sitting at the head of the table. People kept toasting to him, praising him for being young and promising, capable of literature and military, and having a prominent family background. The Emperor With good luck, the future is bright.
Although Pei Heng drank a lot of wine, he seemed to have a good drinking capacity. He kept smiling lightly and nodding slightly, and he was so well-mannered that it was scary.
However, I heard that Pei Heng still drank too much.
At that time, Xu Wanning was a little dizzy from drinking, so she was helped down to rest.
She didn't know that she had actually fallen asleep. When she opened her eyes, she saw only a pair of joking eyes, pointing at her with their index fingers. Those noble ladies and rich ladies were all mocking her for being shameless, recommending herself as a pillow, and delusional. Fly up a branch and become a phoenix.
Xu Wanning was naked, with bruises and pinch marks all over her body. The white sheet underneath her body had a little bright red virgin blood on it, openly telling everyone present that she was no longer perfect.
Everyone’s cynicism and pointing fingers are still a frightening nightmare when I think about it now!
"Ah..." Xu Wanning screamed and sat up.
She was so confused that she opened the quilt and looked at herself and then around her, her expression frightened and full of fear.
When Hongmei rushed in, she saw her young lady lifting the quilt in confusion, and her heart sank suddenly.
The lady had that nightmare again.
"Miss, don't be afraid, don't be afraid, my servant is here."
After Xu Wanning caught Hongmei, her emotions slowly began to calm down: "I had a nightmare."
"Yes, it's just a nightmare, it's over." Hongmei felt sour in her heart, and she was so worried that she wanted to kill herself.
If only she hadn't been sick at that time, she would have been able to go with the young lady. With her by her side, such a thing might not have happened.
"As long as it's a dream, as long as it's a dream." Xu Wanning patted her chest, and her panicked eyes slowly became calm.
After drinking a cup of tea with Hongmei's hand, Xu Wanning calmed down and asked, "Is there any news from Chen Wang?"
"Yes. He said it was all done."
"That's good. Come and serve me. Doctor Jia has been here for so many days, and I want to ask about Cui Qingping's situation."
Hearing the words Cui Qingping again, Hongmei's heart stopped.
She is not stupid either. Looking at the attitude of the young lady and the actions of other masters in the house these days, Hongmei has a vague idea in her mind, but this idea is too erratic and Hongmei cannot grasp it.
If you can't catch it, don't catch it.
Lu Yao knew that Ma Li would win over people's hearts over time. As long as she took good care of her and protected her, the evil spirits would always show their true colors.
The boy named A Yuan assigned to Jia Xu was playing pebbles in the yard, yawning out of boredom.
"I asked you to take care of Dr. Jia, but you are lazy here. Did the Hou Mansion give you money so that you can come and take care of him in old age? Aren't you going to take care of Dr. Jia?" Hongmei scolded the boy angrily.
A Yuan looked aggrieved: "No, it's because Dr. Jia doesn't want to be treated lightly. He said that his prescriptions are all secret and cannot be seen by the second person."
"But you shouldn't be lazy. Others should say that even a servant in the Hou family is cheating..."
Xu Wanning shook her head: "Forget it, Hongmei, he's right. Many people can't cure smallpox scars, but Doctor Jia says it can. Then his prescription must not be spread to the outside world, and it's normal that he doesn't need anyone around him. "
A Yuan's approval was overwhelming, but the young lady was sensible.
"Doctor Jia works so hard, so he should take some supplements to nourish his body. You go to the kitchen and ask them to stew a cup of bird's nest and bring a cake over in the morning and afternoon."
A Yuan was overjoyed. If Dr. Jia couldn't finish the meal, it would be his. "Hey, little one, let's go right now!"
The person ran away quickly.
The eyesore was finally gone.
As soon as the person left, the closed door opened, and Jia Xu came out, saluting respectfully, "Young Madam."
Xu Wanning walked towards him with a smile: "Dr. Jia, let me ask, when can I start treating Brother Ping's face?"
"I am about to report to the young madam. The young madam invites you."
"Doctor Jia please go first."
The two of them asked and answered each other, and entered the house one after another.
"Hongmei, just stay outside and report immediately when someone comes."
"yes."
Hongmei closed the door and stared at the surrounding movements warily.
After entering the room, the two of them were no longer as polite as before. Xu Wanning smiled like a flower and called sweetly: "Brother."
Jia Xu reached out and touched her head with a gentle smile: "Aning, big brother is here."
Jia Xu's real name was Xu Jia. He was the adopted son of the Xu family and was given the surname Xu.
Jia Xu, Xu Jia, he has never shown his face in the Chengyang Marquis Mansion, who knows that he is from the Xu family.
"Are your parents and brother okay?"
"They are all fine," Xu Jia said. "My adoptive father can't get away from business matters. Brother Ting has gone to school, and his adoptive mother has to take care of him. They are all worried about you and want to come and see you." You asked me to come over and you didn’t tell me what it was, which made my adoptive parents very worried.”
"It's all my fault." Xu Wanning blamed herself: "I didn't tell them because I didn't want them to worry."
"Indeed, if they knew that Brother Ping's face was ruined, they might not even be able to sleep peacefully."
Xu Wanning smiled bitterly: "Yes, our Xu family has never had anything to say to him. Brother, do you know the purpose of inviting you here now?"
Xu Jia was silent for a moment and did not answer immediately.
After the adoptive father received the letter, he went to discuss it with him. After many discussions, he didn't know what Aning meant. After all, Xu Wanning only said in the letter that he asked his eldest brother to go to Yancheng if he had something to do. The letter didn't say anything about it. Anyway, After guessing and guessing, Xu Jia immediately rushed to Yancheng.
He came here non-stop. As soon as he arrived, he heard that Cui Qingping, the young master of the Marquis of Chengyang, had smallpox on his face and was disfigured. He was a doctor, so he naturally thought that Aning wanted him to cure Brother Ping's face.
But Aning did not let him enter the house. Instead, he arranged for him to live outside, opposite Bai Qingqing, and gave him a task.
Let him use the name Jia Xu to win Bai Qingqing's trust, and let Bai Qingqing invite him into the house to treat Cui Qingping's face.
Xu Jia never understood it, but he did it anyway.
He knows some boxing and kicking skills, and can easily fly over walls and walls. He monitors the movements on the other side every day. The time Bai Qingqing fainted was the perfect opportunity for him to let the people on the other side know that he was a doctor.
But that time, Xu Jia saw Cui Yunfeng.
The son of the Marquis of Chengyang, Aning's husband, Xu Jia recognized him, but Cui Yunfeng did not.
Because Cui Yunfeng has never met Xu Jia
I learned from my adoptive father that this brother-in-law was affectionate and devoted. Even if Aning could not have any more children, he did not have any concubines by his side. He was a good man who could be trusted with him for the rest of his life.
But he saw Cui Yunfeng at Bai Qingqing's home.
Only then did Xu Jia realize that this brother-in-law was not as good as his adoptive father said.
The silence didn't last long.
Xu Jia thought he understood what Xu Wanning meant, "Aning, I have a way that can not only get rid of Bai Qingqing, but also cure Brother Ping's face."
Cui Yunfeng kept an extramarital affair and deceived An Ning. An Ning definitely wanted to get rid of this woman, but was afraid of being exposed and hurting the relationship between the couple, so he asked him, the eldest brother, to take action.
If Brother Ping's face cannot be cured, then Bai Qingqing, who invited him into the house, will be blamed and die.
Xu Jia has a perfect plan to get rid of Bai Qingqing, cure Brother Ping, and help Brother Ping solve difficult problems.
"No, no, no..." Xu Wanning waved her hand, "Bai Qingqing needs to be removed, but I haven't thought about actually curing Cui Qingping's face."
