Lou Huanhuan's eyes were meaningful: "I will help you."
Chu Yunli looked unbelieving: "I'm not looking down on you, but how can you help me?"
Lou Huan laughed happily: "Anyway, I'll make sure you're fine. As soon as you have some free time, go pick up Fifth Sister's child."
Her tone was firm, but Chu Yunli had doubts in his heart. If the real Lou Jiaojiao was here, in order to protect himself, he might consider agreeing to her. But Chu Yunli had gone through so much, if he was persecuted in the little Shi family,
Death, that would be a wasted life. She suppressed the thoughts in her heart and said: "I will never agree to such a ridiculous thing. You should give up the idea as soon as possible."
Lou Huanhuan looked blank: "Aren't you afraid of death?"
Chu Yunli shook his head: "Third sister, please!"
Lou Huanhuan was unwilling to give in and asked again: "Why don't you think more about such a big matter?"
Chu Yunli picked up the tea cup.
Lou Huanhuan said angrily: "If it weren't for our deep affection, I wouldn't have helped you."
Chu Yunli said politely: "See you off!"
Hong immediately stepped forward.
The yard was deserted, and it felt even more desolate after Hong saw off the guests and left.
A little later, Mrs. Shi came: "What do you think?"
Chu Yunli didn't want to have children with a messy man. Mrs. Shi's proposal itself was ridiculous, and she said, "I haven't thought about it yet."
Anyway, just drag it back.
Mrs. Shi did not embarrass her, nodded, and left quickly.
Another two, Hong came from outside, hurriedly walking, and her face was particularly ugly: "Auntie, I said that the second master is taking a concubine again."
Chu Yunli was pruning flowers and plants in the yard. Now there was no one else in her yard. What kind of business was she doing? She paused slightly when she heard the words: "Oh, which girl is she from?"
Hong's face was complicated and he whispered: "It is said that I found it from a farmer's home in the suburbs. It is very strong and fertile."
The scissors in Chu Yunli's hand clicked, and a main branch that was supposed to be left was cut off.
Seeing this, Hong called out tentatively: "Auntie?"
Any girl with some status in the city would not agree to such a ridiculous thing, and if a poor family in the suburbs is willing to do anything for money, it is possible that the girl does not know the inside story at all.
Chu Yunli nodded: "I'm fine."
Hong was still quite worried.
In the evening, Hong went to the big kitchen to get food, which was the usual two dishes and one soup. There was a meat dish in it. As for the soup, most of it was vegetarian. When Hong walked in with the food box, he had a smile on his face: "
Auntie, today I have the meat soup you like to drink."
When Lou Jiaojiao was not married, she was not picky about food. The reason why she was so happy when she arrived here was because there was a cook in the kitchen. Each cook had her own special dish, and the cook's skill in making meat slice soup was the best. Every time
The next time she has this soup, Lou Jiaojiao will eat more.
Chu Yunli didn't care. She had endured a lot of hardships, but now these meals were quite good. She sat down at the table, and Hong had already handed her a bowl of soup. She took it and said casually: "Sit down and eat too."
There are only two masters and servants in these two courtyards. Lou Jiaojiao is very grateful to Hong, and Chu Yunli is also very kind to her, letting her eat together every time. Hong was reluctant at first, but she couldn't bear it, and now she is used to it.
, he agreed and sat down with a smile.
Chu Yunli would subconsciously eat more of what Lou Jiaojiao liked. She put a bowl of soup to her lips and was about to drink it. Suddenly she felt something was wrong. She took two more sips, stuck out her tongue and licked it to confirm, and then sneered.
Ask: "Whose soup is yours?"
Hong was surprised: "It's Mrs. Jiang in the kitchen. She always distributes the food...I secretly gave her a handful of copper coins for today's soup, so there's a lot of meat. Auntie, what's wrong?"
There is poison in the soup.
After drinking it, your internal organs will fail, and you will most likely die.
"You can't drink this soup." Chu Yunli snatched the soup bowl from her hand. She rubbed her brows. Now, the only person in this house who can attack her is Mrs. Shi.
In other words, she has been reluctant to agree to have a child with another man in Shi Zhikang's name, and Mrs. Shi no longer wants to endure it. Perhaps, before Mrs. Shi finds a new candidate, she no longer intends to keep her.
Her face changed drastically, and the bowl in her hand fell down, smashing it into a mess. Just like her confused heart at the moment, she was completely at a loss: "What should I do now?" She immediately thought of the previous situation where the master and servant were almost killed. At that time,
She was seriously injured and only had one breath left. The master had been starving in the woodshed for so long... If not for her pregnancy, both of them would have died long ago.
But now, the master has just given birth and is unlikely to get pregnant immediately. No one can save them.
Chu Yunli lowered her eyes: "Don't panic!" She turned her head and asked, "How much money do you still have?"
Red is counting: "More than fifty taels."
Chu Yunli nodded: "Well, you go buy some incense, and I'll buy some medicinal materials."
Hong was stunned: "This... incense is very expensive."
Shi Zhilin's money will be less every time he spends it, especially since they need to take care of things separately, and they won't want to run errands if they don't have it.
"It doesn't matter." Chu Yunli asked her to buy two incense and some medicinal materials, and got them at night.
Late at night, Chu Yunli slipped into the main courtyard.
Before she had a child, the yard was full of people. Even late at night, there were people who were alert. It was not easy to go in and out without disturbing people.
Nowadays, there are more. She seems to be walking around in the courtyard and the garden with great arrogance. With a little effort, she can avoid everyone. However, there is a maid on duty in the main courtyard at night, so she took a detour before getting in.
The room where Mrs. Shi puts incense.
Early the next morning, a woman came into the yard.
At that time, Chu Yunli stood under the eaves and waved his arms.
When the mother-in-law saw her, she was stunned for a moment, then opened her mouth and said, "Auntie, what news did you hear last night?"
Speaking of which, the confinement period after the miscarriage has not yet been completed, and Mrs. Shi can't wait so impatiently. She is really not a kind person. Chu Yunli was confused: "What happened last night?"
The mother-in-law said what she said casually. Something should have happened. The master and the servant were still paying it back. It was obvious that something had been planned and something went wrong. They had to report this matter to the madam. She casually excused herself and left in a hurry.
Hong looked at her back and stamped her feet angrily: "It's so deceiving."
Who says it’s not?
No, Xiaoyao won't last long. Chu Yunli said: "Go and light the incense."
Hong couldn't understand why the master spent more than twenty taels of silver on incense, but he obediently went in and lit the incense burner.
The next day, Chu Yunli found no more abnormalities.
It was another night. When Chu Yunli got up early, he said that Mrs. Shi had an emergency last night and had been up all night. She said she had a headache and stomachache. Mr. Shi didn't show up last night. The Shi Zhilin brothers were so miserable that they called a doctor.
, just saying that Mrs. Shi ate something unclean.
Mrs. Shi had not gone out, and all the food and drinks were in the house, so the cook was detained, and the doctor went to the kitchen to check in person, but found nothing.
The wife at home was ill, and Chu Yunli went to visit her. She arrived at the entrance of the main courtyard smoothly, but was stopped by her mother-in-law: "Auntie, my wife is unwell and cannot see guests."
Just at this moment, Shi Zhikang, who looked exhausted, came out of the yard and said, "Don't cause trouble."
Chu Yunli stressed: "I said my wife is sick and I just came here to visit."
"You don't have to worry about it." Shi Zhikang said in an impatient tone: "Just leave if I let you. Don't get stuck here."
Chu Yunli did not leave: "But I am really worried about Madam, please let me see her."
Shi Zhikang frowned: "You really have no complaints about your mother treating you like that?"
He is quite self-aware.
It would be difficult for any other person not to feel resentful if he was treated like that by Mrs. Shi.
Chu Yunli sighed, as if she had accepted her fate: "I am already yours, and I can't leave the house in this life. Madam... I want to live a happy life, and Madam is willing to take care of me. Now that she is ill, there is a problem at home.
There is no other female family member that I should serve by my side. Young master, I have served you for a long time, and now I just want to die well, so you can be me."
The implication is that she wanted to please Mrs. Shi, so she was so attentive.
These words made sense. Shi Zhikang hesitated for a moment: "Then you can meet me."
Chu Yunli was able to enter the house.
As soon as he entered the door, he smelled the incense inside. It was very similar to the incense that Chu Yunli bought in his house, and this was also the incense used by Mrs. Shi. Chu Yunli glanced at the smoking incense burner and quickly looked away.
, walked to the inner room.
When Mrs. Shi saw her, she frowned slightly: "What are you doing here?"
Previously, the master and servant had drugged the soup. Madam Shi thought that Lou Jiaojiao could no longer cause trouble for her, but she failed. She couldn't figure out what went wrong. She also thought of finding an unfounded accusation.
I checked into the woodshed, but before I could make any arrangements, I fell ill.
If you are sick, you must recover first. Your health is important! Once you recover, it will not be too late to take care of them.
Chu Yunli's face was full of worry: "I want to take care of Madam." She lowered her head: "These yards are very empty, and the food delivered is not as good as it used to be. I am really worried. Madam, I really want to spend my whole life.
Serving the young master..."
When Mrs. Shi heard these words, her thoughts were similar to those of Shi Zhikang. Lou Jiaojiao came to beg her to make her life better.
"You don't need to do this."
"Yes!" Chu Yunli stepped forward and rubbed her forehead: "My mother used to like my crafts best. You can try it."
Mrs. Shi was dizzy and sober after being rubbed like this. She was a little surprised: "Your skills are better than those of doctors. Where did you learn them?"
"I figured it out myself." Chu Yunli's fingers were neither light nor heavy: "You just need to think it's suitable."
Mrs. Shi could no longer say anything to drive her away, so she closed her eyes and enjoyed it.
For the next half, Chu Yunli stayed in the house. In addition to helping Mrs. Shi rub her forehead, she spent the rest of the time talking to her to relieve her boredom. She also brought a bouquet of flowers from the garden, trimmed them and put them in a vase.
By the window outside. With her around, all the maids who served Mrs. Shi were kicked out to wait outside, and they only occasionally went in to deliver things. As for Hong, she kicked her out.
Mrs. Shi's head no longer hurt. Just after she thought she had recovered, she vomited again day and night. This time, she also vomited yellow bile. Her throat and head were extremely sore. Dr. Li was called in in the middle of the night.
, the medicine was re-prepared, but with little effect.
So, even in the middle of the night, Chu Yunli was still called to the main courtyard.
