As this person gets older, his temper should become softer and softer. Some things that should be compromised must be compromised.
It's a good thing that Zuo Yucui still wants to leave at this age.
Ai Huaming has already started to have a headache.
Chu Yunli returned to her room. Apart from Zuo Yucui's love of eating, she was not particular about what she wore, nor did she have high requirements for living in this room. This room was very simple. As for Chu Yunli, she would be in her own room.
Within the scope of ability, let yourself live the best life.
According to her wishes, the furnishings in this room must be changed. However, she probably won't be able to live here for long, and she is too lazy to move. After being busy for a long time, she was about to lie down.
Just at this moment, the door was pushed open, and the housekeeper beside Zuo Yucui came in with a bowl of medicine.
"Master, it's time to drink medicine."
Seeing the medicine, Chu Yunli remembered the bitter taste in her throat. She stared at the medicine bowl and said: "In the past few days, I have had nightmares every day. This soothing soup seems to be of no use. Who made it? And again?
Who deserves it?"
The housekeeper's surname was Zhou. She was a maid in Ai Mansion. She was good-looking when she was young, but she was tabooed by the second wife at that time. She was specially married to a groom. The groom had a bad temper and was quite capable. He liked to beat people after drinking too much.
Even when Mrs. Zhou was pregnant, she was still beaten and kicked, and the five-month-old fetus was knocked out alive.
Zuo Yucui came back from outside that day and happened to see Mrs. Zhou running out to ask for help, half-blooded. She was only Ai Huaming's concubine, but compared with other concubines in the mansion, she had much more freedom. She could go out and invite as many as she wanted.
The doctor and even the people around him can come in and out at will through the side door.
When Zuo Yucui saw her miserable condition, she felt compassion for her. She ordered someone to find the doctor and then asked two nursing staff to restrain the crazy horseman.
After Mrs. Zhou saved her life, she wanted to follow her. In other words, Mrs. Zhou wanted to leave that fierce man in her dreams.
Zuo Yucui wanted to help her, so she agreed. She thought that after taking the person to her side, she would send him away after a while. As a result, Mrs. Zhou was smart, clever, and very capable. The master and servant trusted each other, and they have come to this point.
.
Hearing what she said, Mrs. Zhou immediately thought of the conspiracy. This Ai Mansion is very big and hides many innocent souls. She has been in the manor for many years and has heard many secrets. She thought about it and said, "I will go outside and get it myself."
The medicine that came back was prepared by Xiao Lu."
This medicine is not very effective, but as long as you drink it for half a month, your five internal organs will be damaged, and your body will be so weak that you can't even get out of bed, and it will be difficult for gods to save you.
Chu Yunli must have been drinking for four or five days before she came. She thought for a while: "Call Xiaolu over and find some powerful women. I want to interrogate her!"
Mrs. Zhou was surprised: "Would you like to see a doctor first?" She lowered her voice: "Then the bride is still waiting to catch you."
"She must be able to catch it." Chu Yunli said with disapproval: "The body is my own. I really can't sleep peacefully these days. I haven't taken anything special, except for that medicine!"
Seeing that it was getting dark, the yard became lively again. The little maid kept struggling and crying, looking very pitiful from a distance.
Chu Yunli was sitting on the porch. The maid came closer. Before she could ask, Ai Liyang and his wife arrived.
Mrs. Chang said with a straight face: "Auntie, what are you doing? As a master, you can't beat or scold the maid at will. What's more, you are only half a maid yourself. No matter what happens, you shouldn't make it such a big deal.
"
She looked at Mrs. Dali and said sternly: "Let go!"
Mrs. Dali lowered her eyes, not daring to look at her. She looked scared, but her hand did not loosen at all.
Chang was furious and screamed: "I asked you to let go, are you deaf?"
There was such a big movement, and Ai Huaming rushed over. He had a headache just now, and now his head hurts even more: "What is this fuss about?"
Ai Liyang took the lead and said: "Dad, my aunt wants to teach this little girl a lesson for no reason. No matter how master we are, we have to be unreasonable. Are you right?"
"For no reason?" Chu Yunli asked: "I suspect that this maid poisoned me, why can't I ask? Or do you think that face is more important than my life?"
Ai Liyang looked surprised: "Poison?"
He looked at the maid: "Is there any misunderstanding?"
Ai Huaming looked cautious: "We must ask clearly about this matter." He ordered: "If you come, please go and ask a doctor first."
Chu Yunli had already looked at the maid: "Who asked you to change my medicine?"
The maid cried and fussed: "I don't understand what you mean? Aunt Zhou gave me the medicine. I can take whatever medicine is given to me. It has never been changed."
There was a doctor in the mansion. Under Ai Huaming's urging, the doctor came almost at a trot. After entering the door, he walked to Chu Yunli at his signal: "Auntie, reach out!"
Chu Yunli stretched out her hand and said: "I haven't been able to sleep well for many days. I drank medicine for a few days and could barely keep my eyes open from midnight until dawn. Before, I thought I was too tired from busy preparing for the wedding.
Today it suddenly occurred to me that I was too tired, so I probably couldn't wake up. This inability to sleep is unusual in itself. I finally squinted for a while and had nightmares again and again."
The doctor lowered his eyes and said after a while: "My aunt is very angry. She must have too many things on her mind. As for the poisoning... I haven't noticed it yet."
Chang frowned: "Are you sure you read it correctly?"
The doctor nodded: "Madam, you can ask others to take a look. Even if the villain's diagnosis is wrong, it is definitely not poisoning."
The maid immediately began to cry out for injustice.
Ai Huaming looked unhappy: "Let him go and give him some money later to appease him."
He looked at Chu Yunli: "Yucui, you are angry in your heart, don't get angry at the little maid..."
The implication is that she is making trouble unreasonably.
Chu Yunli pointed at the doctor: "This is a quack doctor. I want to change him to a doctor."
Ai Huaming looked disapproving: "There is no need to make matters outside of our house."
If she is not poisoned, but invites many doctors to come in... There is no airtight wall in this world. Even if the doctor is not told the truth, outsiders will know what happened in the yard sooner or later. The key is that if someone in the family is poisoned, it is considered a family scandal.
As for those who have a good reputation in this world, they will subconsciously cover up any scandal. Even if the doctors say that Zuo Yucui was not poisoned in the end, if this news spreads to the ears of outsiders, it will also affect Ai Fu's reputation.
influential.
If Zuo Yucui was really poisoned, she would just let it go, but she didn't... It would cause an uproar, and there would be no benefit except embarrassment.
Chu Yunli said rudely: "You are forcing me to leave!"
"Why are you talking about this again?" Ai Huaming rubbed his eyebrows: "Yucui, don't make trouble unreasonably."
"I'm not that unreasonable person. Over the years, except for business matters, when have I ever troubled you?" Chu Yunli's eyebrows were cold: "Either you go outside and invite three or five doctors for me, or you just leave me alone.
How do you teach this maid a lesson? Also, take your son and daughter-in-law away."
This was said rather rudely, and it was not something a concubine should say.
Ai Huaming had not yet had an attack, but Chang couldn't help it anymore: "Father, my father's concubines are respectful in front of us and never dare to speak loudly. They dare not speak out to chase others. Do you want to pamper another woman?"
, you can’t indulge her like this!”
Ai Liyang also said: "Since she's not poisoned, let this girl go quickly. It's getting late, and everyone has been very busy these days, and they haven't slept well. Now that we're done, we should go back and rest early."
He raised his voice and ordered: "Send this maid back... She must have been frightened by what happened today. Let's see if she has any family members and ask someone to pick her up. There will be no need for the ransom money. Think of it as compensation from the Ai Mansion."
"
Mrs. Dali didn't have to listen to Mrs. Chang's words, but when Ai Liyang opened her mouth, a few people hesitated and secretly peeked at Chu Yunli's expression.
Chu Yunli said coldly: "I didn't say anything, who dares to leave?"
She looked at Ai Huaming: "If the master wants to go back to rest, I won't stop him. I have just sent someone to ask for a doctor. It won't take long for him to arrive. Don't worry, I will never wrongly accuse someone. If in the end
If it is found out that I was really overthinking it, the maid is innocent, and I will compensate her." She emphasized: "I will compensate her with my own money."
Mrs. Chang hummed: "You are an aunt, and your father helped you redeem your life in the first place. You have no dowry, and all the money was given by your father. Where can you get the money?"
Chu Yunli looked at her completely: "Then you are wrong. Although I don't have a dowry, I have saved a lot based on my own ability. Now I own two shops and the monthly profit is at least dozens of taels...
…”
Mrs. Chang interrupted her: "That's what father gave you too."
Chu Yunli did not argue with her, but looked at Ai Huaming: "Master, why don't you just say a few words?"
Ai Huaming coughed lightly: "Yucui is different from other concubines. She helps me with my business, and I have to pay her monthly wages."
Mrs. Chang was not persuaded: "She is yours. No matter how capable she is, it is because of your wisdom and knowledge. Everything is yours."
To a certain extent, this is not wrong.
In the eyes of today's people, the person who buys it has no private property, and everything belongs to the master. However, Zuo Yucui is different. She did not run to be a concubine from the beginning, but to serve as a steward for others.
While they were breaking it off, someone came to the door. A maid came in with three doctors. Seeing this, Ai Huaming's face suddenly darkened.
"Yucui, I told you not to involve the outside world in this matter."
Chu Yunli was not afraid: "I also said that if someone wants to harm me, this matter must be investigated to the bottom of the matter."
Ai Huaming was furious, but he didn't get angry in front of several doctors. He just shook his sleeves and looked away.
Chu Yunli is a doctor himself, and he is 100% certain that he has been poisoned. As expected, the doctor's face became more and more cautious when checking his pulse. After the three of them read it and discussed it in low voices, the leader stepped forward and said: "Mrs.
It's someone who has taken inappropriate medicine. If you don't stop taking it, your five internal organs will be damaged and you won't be able to make up for it in the future, and your life will be in danger."
Ai Huaming's complexion changed slightly.
This poison has been put on Zuo Yucui, will it be put into his food one day?
Ai Liyang stepped forward and signaled the steward to send the doctor away, then looked at his father: "Dad, these people were invited by my aunt, and my son does not believe what they said."
It was almost obvious that these people were bribed and said so deliberately.
Ai Huaming looked cautious: "Invite a few more doctors."
Chu Yunli was satisfied: "Sir, it's okay not to investigate further, but you have to compensate me."
Ai Huaming frowned: "What do you mean?"
The two looked at each other, and Ai Huaming was startled and turned to look at his son. It seemed that from the beginning, his son was trying his best to stop Zuo Yucui from investigating.
