Zhong Cainiang walked to Ning Guang's house with a steaming cup of Chinese medicine, and was about to push the door open when a voice came from behind her.
"Miss Zhong."
Turning around and seeing ice tea, Zhong Cainiang's eyes flashed with displeasure, but she smiled and said, "Why is the ice tea girl here? You haven't rested yet?"
"Our wife asked me to come and see my uncle. This is our uncle's medicine, right? I'll just carry it in. Miss Zhong can go back and rest." Iced Tea glanced at the tray in her hand and said with a smile.
After seeing the doctor off, Duan Zhong snatched the medicine bag away, saying that he was worried and wanted to take the medicine himself. This made Mrs. Chen so angry that he seemed to be angry. He also thought that Duan Zhong had served Ning Guang before, so he couldn't bear it.
Instruct Iced Tea and the others to start.
Bingcha had been helping Duan Zhong, but he was asked to give it away midway. His words were particularly sharp, and he pointed at Su Liu every time.
Although he was angry, he really didn't dare to leave. He just watched from another room. Who knew Zhong Cainiang was coming? Bingcha remembered his girl's instructions and simply hid outside and listened to their conversation.
Who would have expected that Zhong Cainiang would give the girl eye drops, and now she would rush to do what they should do. Where would Ice Tea dare to let her get close to Ning Guang? So she followed.
Zhong Cainiang avoided Bingcha's hand and said, "Icetea girl has been busy for a day and should be tired. Brother Ning, I will take care of you. You can go and rest."
"What did Miss Zhong say? We are servants, so we have to say we are tired. My uncle is my girl's uncle, so we are here to serve him. The girl is a guest, how can we do this? We can't do it.
You dare to bother the girl." Bing Cha said with a serious face, and went up to take the tray in her hand.
She emphasized the words uncle and guest. Zhong Cainiang was filled with hatred and said in a slightly dissatisfied tone: "Brother Ning is kind to my Zhong family, so I should serve him. Besides, several years ago, I also
I have served him before and am very familiar with his likes and dislikes. Miss ice tea, stop arguing, Brother Ning is in a hurry to take medicine."
"Miss Zhong, please don't embarrass us slaves. Before she left, she asked me to take care of my uncle. If she knew that I was cheating on you, she would definitely accuse me of being lazy and slippery when she came back tomorrow. I dared to instruct guests to do things. It was inconvenient.
I'm going to be sold." Bingcha refused to give in at all and said, "Girl, please do it."
What she said about iced tea was serious. Zhong Cainiang was stunned for a moment. Wasn't this girl bought by Su Liu halfway? To put it bluntly, she was a country girl. How could she say such well-founded words?
But she didn't know that Bingcha followed Su Liu to visit Cao's house several times, and also visited the magistrate's house. The girls in those wealthy families were all human beings, and she naturally learned from it under the influence of her ears and eyes.
"What are you doing?"
Both of them were clinging to the tray, apparently trying to compete with each other. Suddenly, a scolding sound came out, and both of them looked over.
Zhong Cainiang was the first to react, and when she saw it was Duan Zhong, a hint of calculation flashed in her eyes, and she let go of her hand suddenly. But Bing Cha didn't watch out for her sudden let go, and she couldn't hold the tray in her hand firmly, and it fell to the ground with a crash.
The liquid was spilled all over the floor.
When Duan Zhong saw it, half of his face turned black, and he stared at the ice tea as if he was eating someone.
Iced Tea was also stunned on the spot, looking at Zhong Cainiang: "You..."
Zhong Cainiang looked innocent and said: "Ice tea girl, look at you, I told you that I will just send it to Brother Ning. If you insist on rushing in, it will be better now. The medicine has been turned over. This is terrible."
what to do?"
"I..." Bingcha panicked. He looked at the concoction on the ground and then at Duan Zhong. He was so anxious that he said, "I didn't. You let go on purpose."
Zhong Cainiang's eyes widened and she said: "Iced tea, how can you say that? Do you mean that I deliberately let go and knocked over Brother Ning's medicine to make his illness worse? How could I do this?"
"you..."
"That's enough!" Duan Zhong drank coldly and said to the iced tea: "I've seen your stupid hooves, but you're still wronging a good person. What peace of mind do you have?"
How could Ice Tea have ever been scolded like this? Duan Zhong was in charge of a large group of servants in Guangning Mansion. He always had a dignified attitude. After drinking it like this, he became somewhat aggressive. Ice Tea suddenly panicked and his eyes were red.
Got up.
"Uncle Zhong, I don't have one."
"Call me Director Duan." Duan Zhong said with a cold face: "Where did you come from? Our young master doesn't need you to serve him, so get out!"
"Uncle Zhong, don't blame her. She just wanted to do her duty well. I'm afraid she accidentally got through it, so I'm going to get another dose of medicine. Fortunately, this medicine is prepared." Zhong Cainiang pretended to be a good person.
"Why don't you speak for her?" Duan Zhong shook his head and said, "Forget it, go ahead and make some more medicine. I'm here to watch the young master, and I will definitely not let some messy bitch get close to you." After that, he continued.
He took a pointed look at the ice tea.
Bingcha's face turned red. He couldn't help it any longer, tears rolled down his face, and he turned around and ran away.
Although she was humiliated, she didn't dare to delay the ice tea, and went to look for Mrs. Chen again. Zhong Cainiang was just uneasy and kind-hearted. She had to tell the madam and the young master to go and be wary of this person.
Zhong Cainiang calculated the ice tea and was in a good mood. She quickly brewed another bowl of medicine and served it. As she expected, there was no ice tea or snow tea to block her way this time because Duan Zhong was guarding the room.
Ning Guang was drowsy. The two of them helped him up and gave him medicine. He fell asleep again without even opening his eyes.
Mrs. Chen came quickly after getting the news. Duan Zhong glanced at the ice tea behind her and said with a smile: "This small family just can't get on the stage. Even a girl doesn't have any rules."
Bingcha's face turned red, and Mrs. Chen was also filled with anger. She pursed her lips and said, "Director Duan, Ning Guang needs to rest carefully. Why don't we stop disturbing him? I'll let Cui Fu take care of him.
It’s already late today, why don’t you go back and rest?”
"No, the master is sick, how can a servant rest? I won't trouble your family, just let Cainiang and I take care of you here." Duan Zhong waved his hand.
Zhong Cainiang lowered her head, a trace of joy flashed in her eyes, making it difficult to see her expression clearly.
"I am a guest, how can I ask you to serve me? There are servants at home..."
"What kind of guest? I am the servant of my eldest young master. Cainiang is also the young master's sister, so what kind of guest is she?" Duan Zhong interrupted Chen.
Mrs. Chen was choked to the point of being speechless and didn't know what to do for a moment.
"Director Duan, this is not the Guangning Marquis Mansion, but the Su Mansion." Chen Ye walked in, and after hearing Duan Zhong's words, he interrupted and said: "There are guests after passing the door. Could it be that the Guangning Marquis Mansion has given way?
What is the guest’s habit of taking care of his family?”
Duan Zhong was choked so much that he couldn't speak. Chen Ye looked at Zhong Cainiang again and said: "Besides, Miss Zhong is the younger sister of Brother Ning's subordinate, and she is also an important guest. Miss Zhong is an unmarried girl from Yunying, so she is neither
It’s really inappropriate for a servant to take care of an adult man despite being someone else. If word gets out, it will bring a bad reputation to both of them, Director Duan, don’t you think so?"
Duan Zhong was stunned. Well, he didn't care about Zhong Cainiang's reputation. After all, the young master accepted it, but he couldn't care less about Ning Guang's reputation.
Zhong Cainiang's face became hot when she was told that she just felt like she couldn't get off the stage.
"Director Duan, sincerely, I ask you for a gift on behalf of my sister and Brother Ning." Chen Ye saluted Duan Zhong and said: "You see, Brother Ning really needs a rest. There are many people here, so he also needs a rest.
Not good. If Director Duan can't rest assured, you can just stay here. How about I send a girl to be at Director Duan's disposal? In the end, it's all for Brother Ning's recovery."
What he said made sense. Duan Zhong was trying to find fault, but he couldn't find any fault with him. He was just secretly shocked in his heart. This kid had some tricks up his sleeve.
"Miss Zhong, why don't you go and rest yourself? You are Brother Ning's benefactor, and there is no reason for a benefactor to take care of him. If he loses his reputation because of this, Brother Ning will only blame himself." Chen Ye looked at Zhong Cainiang, eyes bursting with emotion.
Give a chill and a warning.
Zhong Cainiang felt the warning in his eyes, her pupils shrank, she lowered her head in a panic, biting her lips tightly, feeling really unwilling.
"I am Brother Ning's foster sister. Now that he is sick, I should take care of him."
She was unwilling to give in. If she got such an opportunity, maybe Ning Guang would see her goodness and look at her differently.
"So, Miss Zhong just doesn't want her reputation and insists on staying in a grown man's house?" Chen Ye's eyes narrowed and his tone was a little cold.
These words were a bit heartbreaking. Not only did Zhong Cainiang turn pale, but Duan Zhong also looked at her with a strange look.
You said that you, a young girl with no status and no status, what does it look like to stay in the house of a grown man? What are your intentions?
Zhong Cainiang's face turned pale and she was suffocated, and said, "I'm just worried about Brother Ning and can't rest assured."
However, no one believes this pale explanation. Worry is nothing but worry. To worry so much that you don’t even care about your own reputation. If you insist on doing so, that is not greatness, but shamelessness.
"Uncle Zhong, you know me, I am really worried about Brother Ning's health." Zhong Cainiang's tears fell down.
Duan Zhong's eyes also flickered, but in the end he felt more pity for Zhong Cainiang. He secretly blamed Chen Ye for being aggressive and merciless, and said: "The young master's words are serious. It's not like a man and a woman are alone in a room. I'm here too."
, there is no such thing as a ruined reputation.”
"As the saying goes, brother Ning has a wise life, so he can't ruin his reputation because of it. The benefactor should be properly supported. How can he let the benefactor turn around and act like a cow? Director Duan's starting point is good.
But we can't frame Brother Ning for injustice." Chen Ye sneered and said lightly.
Duan Zhong's expression changed, and he felt a little embarrassed. But facing Chen Ye's immature but cold face, he couldn't lose his temper, so he forced a smile and said: "Young master, what you said is serious. But I also remind you.
Old slave, it’s also my faulty thinking. Cainiang, you can go and have a rest, I have an old slave guarding this place."
Zhong Cainiang clenched her hands and forced a calm smile. The moment she turned away, a trace of resentment flashed in her eyes.
