Ning Huayue's condition kept coming back and forth, and she didn't get better after several days of trying.
Grandma Wang was uneasy. She felt that she should tell Ning Huayue about this matter in advance, but she was afraid of adding unnecessary burden to Ning Huayue.
She was suffering from all the uneasiness and anxiety all by herself, which made her feel like she had lost her soul recently.
Ji Qin relayed Dan Hong's words to Lu Qing, and she said, "Grandma Wang also went to find the little maid who was originally working as an errand in Qinfang Courtyard."
There was originally no evidence, but because of Grandma Wang's confusion, Lu Qing became more and more suspicious of her.
"Those little maids and slaves have already approached us in advance. Apart from knowing that Grandma Wang went to Qinfang Courtyard that day, they don't know anything else."
Ji Qin felt that this was also a sign of Grandma Wang's guilty conscience. If she didn't do anything bad, she wouldn't be afraid of ghosts knocking on her door.
"Master, although we are almost certain that there is something wrong with Grandma Wang, there is no strong evidence. What should we do next?"
Lu Qing held his chin and thought: "Wait a minute, I'll think of a solution first."
Brother Jiu cannot suffer for no reason. Qiao Siyu paid the price for her madness, and Grandma Wang must also be responsible for her instigation.
"Okay, then slave girl, let Dan Hong continue to watch."
"Well, let her keep a close eye on it. If she finds anything unusual, report it as soon as possible."
Among the people around Ning Huayue, Grandma Wang had the deepest moral integrity. Lu Qing thought that even if she couldn't blame Ning Huayue, she could solve the problem of Grandma Wang and relieve her hatred.
After the explanation, Lu Qing went to the east wing.
The three children all live here. Brother Lan did not go to Mengbi Zhai today. They should play together now.
There is a brazier in the corner of the room, and the room is warm without fear of freezing.
When she stepped into the room, the servant bowed and said, "Concubine Wei."
"What are you guys doing? Why is there no sound?"
Lu Qing walked in doubtfully, and the maid followed and said softly: "The three young masters are tired from playing and have just fallen asleep."
She went to the bed and saw that the three little heads were squeezed together, and they were indeed asleep.
Sitting on the edge of the bed and tucking them in gently, Lu Qing reached out and touched Brother Jiu's back.
The little maid hurriedly said: "All the slaves have checked, and we don't dare to let the young masters catch a cold. We also wiped the sweat off our backs before going to bed."
"I know you are all good, but Third Young Master is weak and needs to be more attentive." Lu Qing retracted her hand and patted Ninth Brother comfortingly, who had already frowned.
She watched Brother Jiu continue to sleep soundly, and lowered her voice and said, "If you work hard, I won't treat you badly. I'll reward you with two months."
The little maid saluted happily and whispered: "Slaves, thank you concubine. I will do my best to serve the three young masters in the future. Please rest assured."
Lu Qing was waiting for the children to wake up in the east wing. She continued to read the book with only half of the words in her hand, and was seriously preparing for the next meeting with Zhu Qingjia.
An hour later, Lan Geer woke up first.
Brother Jiu on his right still had his eyes closed, Brother Yu on his left turned over and opened his eyes in a daze. He caught a glimpse of a familiar figure under the window and murmured: "Mother..."
Hearing the sound, Brother Lan stood up and looked over. He was really his mother.
"Mother." Brother Lan called softly, and Lu Qing turned around when she heard the voice.
"Are you awake?" Lu Qing put down her notebook, rubbed her eyes and stood up.
Brother Yu sat on the bed and stretched out his arms. When he first woke up, he wanted to cuddle with his mother the most.
Lu Qing picked up the clothes laid out by the bed and put them on him, asking with concern: "Is it cold?"
Brother Yu shook his head, raised his arms and kicked his legs in coordination, his eyes still squinted, his cute smile raised.
Lu Qing kissed his forehead, and Brother Yu pouted and wanted to kiss him back.
"mua~"
A wet kiss fell on Lu Qing's cheek, sinking into a nest, and Brother Yu smiled with satisfaction.
Seeing this, Brother Lan also came over and kissed Lu Qing's other cheek. Then, he covered Ninth Brother with the quilt and dressed himself neatly.
Brother Jiu kicked his legs and opened his eyes impatiently.
Lu Qing and the others didn't bother him. They gave him enough time to wake up. When he was about to wake up, she gently picked up Brother Jiu and said, "Mom, can you put some clothes on for you?"
"Yeah." Brother Jiu leaned into Lu Qing's arms and responded with his eyes closed.
She likes to be with her children very much. With the three of them, Lu Qing feels that time passes very meaningfully.
Brother Lan looked at it and asked seriously: "Mom, why don't we have a younger sister? Neither do we have an older sister?"
Lu Qing was funny: "When I was pregnant with you, I didn't know whether you were a boy or a girl. I didn't know this question either."
Langeer got to the bottom of it: "Then who knows?"
Lu Qing replied: "I don't know either, why don't you ask your father."
He easily threw the question to Yan Fuguang. As soon as Yan Fuguang returned home and sat down, Brother Lan asked him why he didn't have any older sisters.
Yan Fuguang asked him back: "Sister is impossible, unless you are a girl. However, if you want a sister, there is still a chance."
Lan Geer opened his eyes wide: "Where is my sister?"
Yan Fuguang lied seriously: "It may appear in two years."
He would definitely love both boys and girls equally, but Yan Fuguang couldn't resist the temptation of having both children. He also wanted to have a daughter.
After receiving the message in his eyes, Lu Qing turned sideways silently, deliberately not looking at him.
He said he didn't want to have children with anyone else, so he wanted her to give him a daughter?
**
Yihongyuan.
Ning Huayue was ill, and the night watch work was usually done by her closest relatives, Grandma Wang and Lingyun.
Xu Miaoyan knelt under the verandah, listening to the sound of the cold wind, feeling numb inside.
She heard Lingyun say to Grandma Wang through the door: "It's getting late. The maid outside has been kneeling for almost a day. Grandma, let her go down first?"
Grandma Wang replied: "Miss is not happy. It will make her feel better when she wakes up and knows that she is kneeling outside. Just leave it alone. You are tired after watching for several nights. Let me take care of it today."
"Okay, then I will bring the quilt to grandma, and you can sleep on the couch outside at night."
"Okay, you can go and have a rest after your work. I'll go in and see the lady again."
Xu Miaoyan moved her unconscious knees. Lingyun paused as she passed by, but she still walked away.
It was too cold, so she knelt outside and suffered. Through the door, Grandma Wang inside lay down and covered herself with a quilt.
At the end of Haishi, the sound of falling snow could be clearly heard in the quiet courtyard.
Grandma Wang had a nightmare.
She shouted: "I didn't kill you...don't look for me! I didn't let you strangle her to death...you went to the garden yourself..."
Her scream woke up Ning Huayue in the inner room. Separated by a wall, Xu Miaoyan tilted her head and repeated in her mind the words she had just heard in her sleep several times.
