In the backyard of Gaofu Mansion, the scarred Jiang lay on the bed and fell asleep, still chanting:
"This old slave deserves it, miss. Don't let miss know!"
Gao Hui wiped away her tears sadly and ordered her servant:
"Serve me well. When the time comes, I will help the wet nurse to get up and drink medicine!"
"Yes, miss!"
After ordering the servants, Gao Hui rushed out of the room angrily and walked quickly in the corridor. Her maid Chuntao followed closely behind her. Gao Hui said angrily:
"Tell me, why did my father beat the wet nurse? Don't tell me that the wet nurse is greedy for money. She has been in charge of the money in my room for more than ten years and has never paid a penny less. My father has not paid like this for a long time.
He was very angry. If he hadn't been so angry, he would never have used such a severe punishment on an old servant at home!"
"Slave."
The maid Chuntao hesitated and did not dare to say anything. Seeing her like this, Gao Hui threatened cruelly:
"You think my father is the only one who can crack a whip?"
"I don't dare!"
Seeing that her young lady was so angry, the maid Chuntao was so frightened that she knelt on the ground and cried. Gao Hui frowned and scolded:
"Say it!"
After taking a look at her young lady, the maid Chuntao knelt on the ground and said intermittently:
"My mother, I had trouble with a woman before. That person was engaged to Ouyang Guanren, and she opened a teahouse called Banzhanmian on Ma Xing Street!"
"What?"
The next day, Gao Hui took her maid Chuntao to settle accounts with Zhao Pan'er. As the carriage rumbled forward, she looked at Chuntao sitting next to her and said:
"Zhao Pan'er harmed the nanny like that, I can't just let it go!"
Although Chuntao knew that if this matter came up, it would actually be her mother who was at fault first and she could not blame anyone else, but she could not disobey her young lady's wishes and could only nod in response:
"Miss, in front of you is Osmanthus Alley. I heard they live nearby!"
"good!"
After a while, the carriage stopped at the entrance of Osmanthus Alley. Chuntao helped Gao Hui get out of the carriage. They searched from house to house and finally found the largest courtyard where Zhao Paner lived. They looked at the Xiao Mansion hanging on the lintel.
Gao Hui was inexplicably afraid of the plaque. Could this courtyard be the home of the bad guy?
Because he was not sure whether Zhao Pan'er really lived here, Gao Hui asked Chuntao to knock on the door and inquire. At this time, Gao Hui's face suddenly changed, and he squatted down holding his stomach in pain, and heard his young lady's cry of pain.
, the maid Chuntao came back quickly, she supported Gao Hui and said in panic:
"Miss, what's wrong with you?"
"fine!"
Gao Hui's face was pale. She bent over, covering her stomach with one hand and supporting the maid Chuntao with the other. It took a while before she recovered and said:
"I, I think I'm here. Go and find me a cloak!"
"good!"
The maid Chuntao hurriedly looked for the cloak. Gao Hui wanted to sit on the steps of the Xiao Mansion for a while, but there was a pounding pain in her stomach. She could only bend over and move over step by step. At this moment, Zhao Paner, wearing a green robe,
She was wearing a skirt, holding a basket and getting ready to go out. As soon as she opened the door, she saw Gao Hui walking with a face full of pain and clutching his stomach. She hurriedly stepped forward and asked:
"Girl, what's wrong with you?"
"me."
Gao Hui was hesitating and speechless. Seeing her like this, Zhao Pan'er immediately understood her dilemma and hurriedly said:
"How about you go inside and rest for a while? Come on, I'll help you!"
"Thank you sister!"
Gao Hui only felt the pain in her abdomen was unbearable. She was inevitably a little embarrassed in the alley, so she let Zhao Pan'er help her into the Xiao Mansion.
After entering the Xiao Mansion, Zhao Paner brought a basin of hot water for Gao Hui to clean, and then brought her a set of his own clothes and said with a smile:
"Don't mind if the clothes are old, are they still suitable?"
"It's appropriate, thank you sister!"
Gao Hui's voice came from behind the screen. Soon, she walked out from behind the screen with a flushed face. She had already changed into Zhao Paner's light green skirt and thanked:
"This dress fits me quite well, thank you sister!"
"What's this?"
Zhao Paner raised his head, glanced at Gao Hui and said with a smile:
"How many days is it?"
Hearing this, Gao Hui was a little embarrassed. She sat down next to Zhao Pan'er and said softly:
"This is my first day, I don't know what happened, I just forgot about it all of a sudden!"
"It's okay, you should be fine after drinking this brown sugar water!"
Zhao Pan'er laughed and said, she brought the reconciled brown sugar water to Gao Hui. Gao Hui only glanced at the bowl of brown sugar water and refused:
"Brown sugar water? Brown sugar water is of no use to me. I used to drink it a lot, but it still hurts after drinking it!"
Looking at Gao Hui who was looking down shyly, Zhao Paner smiled generously and said:
"This is not an ordinary brown sugar water, this is the angelica, astragalus and wolfberry drink I prepared, which is best for regulating menstruation and unblocking meridians!"
Hearing what Zhao Pan'er said, Gao Hui glanced at the bowl of brown sugar water with some hesitation. Seeing her like this, Zhao Pan'er smiled slightly and said:
"Don't worry, there is no sweat medicine in this. It won't knock you out and sell it!"
"I'm not. Ouch!"
Gao Huicai smiled, but she groaned in pain again. She immediately picked up the bowl of brown sugar water and drank it. Seeing how innocent she was, Zhao Paner couldn't help but smile. If she was really a bad person, this weak and weak lady would not be able to do it sooner.
I have been sold hundreds of times, but Zhao Paner really likes such a simple-minded little lady, she is cute and interesting!
After drinking the brown sugar water, Gao Hui gently put down the porcelain bowl and said with some nostalgia:
"It's so familiar. I seemed to have seen my mother drink it when I was a child, but it's a pity that she has already"
Before she finished speaking, Zhao Pan'er already understood what Gao Hui meant. Seeing her sad look, she couldn't help but whisper:
"Is your mother from Jiangnan? The girls over there drink this all the time when it's inconvenient!"
"Well, her ancestral home is Mingzhou!"
Gao Hui nodded. At this time, she felt that she was almost healed, and said with joy:
"It's really useful. I don't seem to be in much pain anymore. Thank you sister!"
"You're welcome, it's just a little effort!"
Gao Hui was afraid that Chuntao would not be able to find him soon and he would be anxious, so he stood up and bowed to Zhao Pan'er to say goodbye:
"Sister, my girl is probably looking for me outside right now. I have to go out and take a look. I'll come back another day to thank my sister for the gift of clothes!"
"It's okay. Girls all have inconveniences. Meeting each other means we are destined. Maybe we were good sisters in our previous life!"
Zhao Paner stood up after Gao Hui, exchanged blessings with her and said with a smile:
"Look at my clothes, you wear them quite well. From a distance, others would think we are sisters!"
"Yeah, thank you sister!"
"You're welcome!"
Zhao Pan'er sent Gao Hui out of the yard. As soon as Gao Hui went out, he saw the maid Chuntao holding a cloak not far away and looking around anxiously. She gave a slight salute to Zhao Pan'er at the door, and then trotted over to Chuntao's side.
, Gao Hui then remembered that she had not asked her sister if Zhao Paner lived nearby, nor had she introduced her to each other. At this time, Yuan Xudong came from the alley, Gao Hui's face changed, and he quickly took the maid Chuntao.
She hid to the side, trying to avoid this bad guy, but unfortunately, Osmanthus Alley was so wide, and Gao Hui was wearing the same light green skirt that Zhao Pan'er often wore, so how could Yuan Xudong not see her?
Yuan Xudong was walking in the middle of the alley, and Gao Hui took the maid Chuntao to the side, with her back to Yuan Xudong. The two of them just passed each other, and the maid Chuntao said in confusion:
"Miss, aren't we looking for Zhao Pan'er?"
"I'll look for you another day, let's go!"
Gao Hui said in a low voice. She walked hurriedly with her maid Chuntao, for fear of being discovered by Yuan Xudong. After walking for a while, before Gao Hui could breathe a sigh of relief, Yuan Xudong's voice suddenly sounded behind her:
"Hui'er, is your nanny okay?"
"Ah~~"
Gao Hui and Chuntao were startled when they suddenly heard Yuan Xudong's voice. Gao Hui turned around and looked at him with fear on his face and said:
"You, what do you want to do? I'm warning you, it's daytime now, I, did I call someone?"
"If it doesn't work during the day, you mean it can work at night, right?"
Looking at the panicked Gao Hui, Yuan Xudong couldn't help but rolled his eyes and said in a calm voice:
"How about we find a place to talk about your nanny and Zhao Pan'er?"
"No, I have nothing to talk to you about!"
After glaring at Yuan Xudong, Gao Hui took Chuntao and was about to leave Osmanthus Alley. Yuan Xudong smiled, took out a knotting book from his arms and said lightly:
"Hui'er, this is a confession written by your nanny Jiang. She paid to frame others. I will send it to the government later, okay?"
"you"
Gao Hui turned to look at Yuan Xudong. She already knew what her nanny had done from Chuntao. If Yuan Xudong really went to the government to sue the nanny, the nanny would be doomed. She glanced at the cutting book in Yuan Xudong's hand.
Gao Hui rolled his eyes and said:
"I don't believe you, show it to me!"
"OK!"
Yuan Xudong naturally knew what Gao Hui had in mind. He just wanted to destroy the knot book. However, he had his own way to deal with Gao Hui. He handed the knot book to Gao Hui and said with a smile:
"Hui'er, if you tear up this knotted book or don't return it to me, then I will go to your house to give you a betrothal gift and marry you!"
"Don't worry, I will return it to you!"
After glaring at Yuan Xudong, Gao Hui took the knotting book and read it in a hurry. Taking advantage of the gap where Yuan Xudong was not paying attention, she hurriedly handed the knotting book to Chuntao. Although her mother was at fault first, but
Chuntao couldn't just watch her die, so she took the knot-cutting book and tore it into pieces without thinking. Gao Hui looked at Yuan Xudong proudly and said:
"This was torn by Chuntao, not me!"
"Yeah?"
Looking at Gao Hui who was quite proud, Yuan Xudong said with a smile:
"Based on our status, if we want to punish a servant, is that piece of paper important? What's more, in addition to the Jiang family's cutting book, I also have several other people's papers, as well as personal and physical evidence!
"
"you"
Looking at Gao Hui who was fuming, Yuan Xudong said directly:
"Okay, let's find a place to have a good talk. You can also refuse!"
"good!"
After taking a deep look at Yuan Xudong, Gao Hui took Chuntao and walked out of Osmanthus Alley. Yuan Xudong followed closely with a smile on his lips.
The negotiation place was chosen in Gao Hui's carriage. The carriage rolled forward, Gao Hui and Chuntao sat on one side, and Yuan Xudong sat on the other side.
Looking at Gao Hui and Chuntao who were very wary of him, Yuan Xudong glanced at Gao Hui's clothes without leaving any trace and said with a smile:
"Hui'er, your clothes are quite special. It shouldn't be your own, right?"
"What does it have to do with you? Also, don't call me Hui'er, I'm not that familiar with you yet!"
"Okay, then I'll call you Huiniang!"
"you"
Looking at Gao Hui, who said that his eyebrows were not eyebrows and his eyes were not eyes, Yuan Xudong said nonchalantly:
"Hui Niang, let's forget about your wet nurse. Anyway, you will be mine sooner or later, how about that?"
"Who is your person? You."
Looking at the angry Gao Hui, Yuan Xudong took out a pink bellyband with peach blossoms embroidered on it and said:
"This is our love token, do you still want to cheat?"
Gao Hui's voice stopped suddenly. When she saw the bellyband, her face suddenly turned red. She stood up and rushed towards Yuan Xudong, trying to snatch the bellyband back.
"Give it back to me quickly, bad guy, bad guy!"
"If you don't give it, I won't give it. I saved you from Ouyang Xu, can't you pledge yourself to me?"
"Asshole, pay me back!"
"If you don't pay it back, you won't pay it back!"
Seeing Yuan Xudong and Gao Hui suddenly fighting together, Chuntao was dumbfounded. They were obviously fighting, but why did she feel like she had goosebumps all over her body?
At this time, Yuan Xudong was being greeted by Gao Hui's fancy fists and embroidered legs. He also took the opportunity to get a little advantage and eat Gao Hui's tofu. It felt so comfortable.
After fighting for a while, Yuan Xudong suddenly reached out and hugged Gao Hui, then looked at Chuntao and said lightly:
"Little girl, your lady and I will talk about something, you go and stay outside for a while!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Gao Hui also looked at Chuntao and said:
"Don't go, Chuntao, don't listen to him, come here and help me hold him down!"
Compared to Yuan Xudong, Chuntao naturally listened to Gao Hui's words more. However, the two of them were tied together and they were no match for Yuan Xudong. The final result was that they were all subdued by Yuan Xudong. What happened next is self-evident. The loser always has to win.
Pay the price.
While the carriage was driving on the street, and Gao Hui softly begged for mercy, saying that she was not feeling well, Yuan Xudong gave her a try and let her go.
After the carriage returned to Gao Mansion, it did not go through the front door but the back door. It turned out that Gao Hui and Chuntao had sneaked out to find Zhao Pan'er. Seeing them like this, Yuan Xudong suddenly had an idea and had an idea in his mind.
A few days later, after Gao Hui was fully recovered, Yuan Xudong sneaked in secretly on a dark and stormy night. It was the back door left for him by the maid Chuntao.
Yuan Xudong has been coveting Gao Hui for a long time. On this dark and stormy night, he finally got what he wanted and was satisfied.
The next morning, in the backyard of Gao Mansion.
In Gao Hui's boudoir, Yuan Xudong hugged the soft Gao Hui and lay on the bed, caressing her satin-like smooth skin and smiled contentedly:
"Hui Niang, you are so beautiful!"
Looking up at Yuan Xudong, Gao Hui said with a complex expression:
