When Tong Ke and his wife arrived, Tong Xiaoye was already asleep, her face was still pale, there were still tears in the corners of her eyes, her brows were slightly furrowed, and she seemed very unhappy.
"Forget it, don't wake her up." The child wife said softly, "If she gets sick, it will take more time than ordinary people. Her physical condition is not very good."
Xuan Jinmo nodded and said softly: "Okay, then Jinmo will accompany his father-in-law and mother-in-law to sit in the front hall for a meeting."
"No need." Tong Keye said in a low voice, "Please stay with Xiaoye. We are fine. We will come over to see her tomorrow. You go and have something to eat. Xiaoye is sick, so I need you to take care of her."
"Okay." Xuan Jinmo said politely, "I'll send you two out."
Xuan Jinmo accompanied Tong Ke and his wife to leave, but did not go back to Tong Xiaoye's place directly. He ordered Junzi to serve him carefully. He went back to his government office to deal with matters related to Feng Dazhu.
I heard from Tong Ke that Xuan Jinyan was also ill and had some ups and downs.
Feng Dazhu was still unconscious. He was so thin that he was reduced to bones. There were some gray hairs in his hair, and there were wrinkles at the corners of his eyes.
He was less than thirty, but he looked like a man in his late forties. He had stayed in the Xuan family for ten years, and the generosity he had cultivated with great difficulty had disappeared in the four years at the border. He was able to survive because he was in the Xuan family.
In the ten years he spent at home, he developed a reassuring servant's words and deeds, so he quickly gained the favor of General Yan. Together with Axia, he was able to survive until now.
He went to a wild place to stay for the rest of his days, fearing that he would never come back, but he had to live. Without him, Jin Yan would be even more unable to let go.
It was already after midnight when I came back. I read documents in the meeting hall for a while, and Ming Yue helped me wash up. I didn't go back to the courtyard where Tong Xiaoye lived.
As soon as it dawned, Xuan Jinmo woke up, and Mingyue, who was sleeping in the outer room, immediately came in to take care of her. She knew that Xuan Jinmo had the habit of getting up early, and would usually wake up earlier to put things in order. If Xuan Jinmo didn't wake up, she would
Just sit at the table and rest your head with your hands.
"Is there any news over there?" Xuan Jinmo asked indifferently.
Mingyue shook her head, "No, that slave of Juanzi didn't come either."
"Let her come here." Xuan Jinmo rinsed his mouth and frowned slightly.
After a while, Juanzi came in hurriedly, out of breath. He knelt down and said in a trembling voice, "I have seen your master."
"How was last night?" Xuan Jinmo sat at the table, eating breakfast slowly, and asked without paying any particular attention.
Junzi hesitated for a moment and said softly: "This slave is about to go see——"
Xuan Jinmo was slightly startled and said coldly: "She didn't let you wait on her?"
"Yes." Junzi was so frightened that she immediately blurted out, "When the lady woke up at night, she saw the slave beside her, so she asked the slave to go to rest immediately, saying that she did not need to serve her at night. The slave said that the slave could not leave. The lady was very unhappy and said,
She didn't like anyone around at night, so I saw that the lady was unhappy, so I had to leave."
Xuan Jinmo said nothing, put down the food in his hand, and said indifferently: "Okay, since Madam doesn't need it, I can't blame you, so you can go and serve me."
There was fine sweat on Juanzi's forehead and her feet were a little weak. She almost didn't get up and staggered away.
Mingyue thought Xuan Jinmo would go visit Tong Xiaoye, but Xuan Jinmo stood up and said in a calm tone: "Prepare the court clothes for me."
Mingyue was confused, but she still brought the clothes in and helped Xuan Jinmo put them on. She watched him leave with his confidants without glancing in the direction of the small courtyard.
Until noon, Xuan Jinmo did not return to the house. He was a master who rarely spent time at home. Everyone in the house was used to it, but it was basically the same whether he was there or not. Even when he was away, the servants were careful not to go out.
Junzi heard the knock on the door outside, glanced at Tong Xiaoye who was sitting in the rocking chair with her eyes closed, and stepped out softly. She opened the door and saw Mingyue outside. She was a little surprised and said respectfully: "Sister Mingyue,
What's wrong with you?"
"Is Madam here?" Mingyue was really curious about what happened to the newly married man. Tong Xiaoye was really courageous. He even got angry with Xuan Jinmo. It was rare that Xuan Jinmo calmly accepted it. How many women thought of him?
The only one among them!
"Resting." Junzi said cautiously, remembering what Madam said, no one was allowed to disturb her, and she had to stay quietly, "Sister Mingyue, is there something wrong?"
He said this without any intention of getting out of the way, with a humble smile on his face, but his meaning was very clear, that is, my husband is resting now, so if there is nothing important, don't disturb him.
"I'll come over and have a look." Mingyue smiled and had no intention of going in. "The master was a little worried when he left and asked me to come over often. Since the lady is resting, I won't disturb you. If you have anything to say to me,
Just say it."
"Thank you Sister Mingyue." Junzi knows that the master is powerful, but her master is the madam. She has to protect the madam. This is her main responsibility, even if she offends the people around her master. "The madam is still resting, slave.
If you don’t dare to leave casually, I won’t give it away.”
Mingyue left reluctantly and glanced at Junzi coldly. She believed that Junzi didn't have the courage to stop her from entering. Tong Xiaoye must have disagreed with her. I heard that Tong Xiaoye liked to be jealous very much. Could it be that she was a woman?
, would Tong Xiaoye be disgusted if she looks a little pretty? So, Tong Xiaoye is also jealous of her?!
After all, she once served him on the bed——
However, thankfully, Tong Xiaoye's jealousy succeeded in getting her to come back to serve Xuan Jinmo again, while Ping'er and Mi'er's bastards are now staying behind to do hard labor.
"He's gone." Tong Xiaoye's tired voice was a little low.
"Yes, madam, she has left." Kuuzi said softly.
Tong Xiaoye's face was not very good, a little pale. Although he had taken the antidote, he still felt weak and was too lazy to speak. The injury on his arm healed very quickly. Although it was serious at the time, it was obviously not good.
It will leave scars.
When Xuan Jinmo came back, it was already very late and he was a little tired. When he entered the door, he subconsciously glanced at the independent courtyard. The faint lights were dancing, indicating that the people had not rested yet.
After freshening up and eating something simple, Xuan Jinmo read the documents for a while, then raised his head and glanced at Mingyue, "Instruct someone to bring the madam's slave."
"Yes." Mingyue immediately agreed to go out, and soon came back with Juanzi, and said after entering the door, "Master, it turns out that the madam has sent this slave back to rest again. Is it that this slave, Juanzi, is not to the madam's liking? How about I go over and ask?
What kind of slave does Madam want?"
"No need." Xuan Jinmo waved his hand, "You go down."
Mingyue didn't dare to say anything more. She responded and stepped back. She glanced at Junzi. This slave was really strict. Even after asking all the questions, she couldn't find out the reason!
