Chapter 24: There's a Fire Burning in My Heart

"Not invited?"

In the small courtyard, Hanmei shouted in surprise.

Xiangzhu nodded: "Yes, the general's wife asked Mo Xiao to go to the palace with the handwriting from the queen, but no one was invited over."

"Why, isn't this Dr. Xue recommended to the palace by our general? The general's wife personally sent someone to the palace to invite him, so why don't we not give him this face?"

"I don't know." Xiangzhu shook his head and played with the pigtails in his hand, "It is said that Dr. Xue had to ask our uncle to invite him in person before he was willing to come out of the palace to see a doctor. But our uncle was busy with government affairs and did not go."

"Hey, this is so weird."

Not only Hanmei found it strange, but Wen Yin, lying aside and listening, also found it very strange.

"My young cousin was complaining of hemoptysis this morning. Doctor Xue won't come, so this..." Isn't it time to end the game?

Xiangzhu put the fingers of his right hand in the middle of his mouth, making a silent gesture, and Hanmei closed her mouth consciously.

Then, Xiangzhu added: "The servants who had the insight were afraid that they would not be prepared in time, so they all went to the shops selling paper money and wreaths."

After all, the General's Mansion has not done anything for a long time.

The more Wen Yin listened, the more evil she became.

Although this Jiang Mingshi was not a good person, he would be one less scourge in the world after his death.

But Jiang Mingshi is Song Chengyu's cousin and the nephew of his mother-in-law Jiang. Putting the blood relationship here, it's not like Jiang Mingshi is about to die and just sit idly by.



At lunch time.

Hanmei got the food box back as usual.

Inside the food box, there is no porridge or side dishes.

"Huh?"

Xiangzhu was puzzled.

Wen Yin also looked over.

There are bird's nests, shark's fins, and chicken soup in the food box.

"Something happened to my son, and the eldest aunt of the Jiang family has no time to take care of the kitchen?"

"No, the boys in the kitchen were having a great time lighting the fire today, and the old cook was in a much better mood when cooking. He specially made bird's nests for us to bring back to each room. Miss, you have suffered a lot these days.

, I have lost weight, eat something quickly to replenish my body."

Hanmei took out the bird's nest and brought it to Wen Yin.

I've been craving for her these past few days.

After she finished a bowl of bird's nest and some rice, she was full.

Hanmei Xiangzhu made tea and stayed with Wen Yin to chat about the little things in the house for the past two days.

For example, Brother Cong was so hungry that he sneaked into the kitchen to eat. He was so upset that he had vomiting and diarrhea, so he asked a doctor to prescribe Chinese medicine.

But the child couldn't bear the bitter soup, and it was so hard for Cao Ka Mian that he couldn't sleep for several days and nights.

Things were still going well in the big room. Yan Meishu was a little red before, but after receiving Xue Lin's prescription, her fetal condition became much more stable.

It's true that I haven't eaten anything meatless in the past few days, and I've gained a few pounds.

Then there is Mr. Jiang, who has not left the house for a while due to a headache.

After Mrs. Jiang heard about Jiang Mingshi today, she still went to visit Jiang Mingshi. She sent someone to the palace to invite Xue Lin, but she didn't come back.

summer.

The branches are flourishing.

It seems to be holding up patches of green umbrella.

It was blocked by the scorching sun outside.

A gentle breeze blew by, making the small courtyard feel clear and cool.

But Wen Yin didn't know why, there was still a slight sweat on her cheeks.

Xiangzhu took a handkerchief and wiped it with Wen Yin, and then brought a portion of brown sugar jelly.

"This is a snack brought to the capital from Shu. Try it, miss. It will relieve the heat."

Wen Yin had no appetite, so she asked Xiang Zhu to put the things aside.

"Maybe it's because I've been eating light food these past few days, and suddenly I get angry easily after eating fish. Miss, I'll make you a cup of tea again."

"Um."

Xiangzhu left, and there was a knock on the door outside the courtyard.

Hanmei went to open the door, and several girls and boys outside rushed in, including those around Chen Zhen.

Several people hurriedly said: "Fifth Young Madam, our cousin is gone, please come over quickly."

Wen Yin frowned slightly and got up from the couch, but did not move.

Hanmei was puzzled: "Your cousin is gone, what does it have to do with our lady?"

The leader of the old lady said very unhappily: "You girl, why can't you speak so clearly? Our young cousin is the nephew of your lady's mother-in-law, so we are all relatives. If you have no relatives, come over and let us know, and let's go and tell each other what's going on."

?"

Putting it this way, there seems to be no problem.

Hanmei was also speechless and didn't know how to respond.

Wen Yin smelled something different.

One, two, three, four... six people.

Here are all the people serving Chen Zhen.

Logically speaking, if the people in each room are notified, it would be more efficient for the servants to work separately.

Now, all the people in this group rushed to her... This didn't look like a notification, it was clearly meant to be a robbery.

Seeing that Wen Yin still didn't send her away to follow them, the group of people winked at each other, didn't care about anything else, and simply rushed to Wen Yin.

"What are you doing?"

Hanmei noticed something was wrong and reached out to push the old ladies.

However, Hanmei's strength was not strong and could not withstand the strength of some rough-and-tumble women. She was forced to the ground and finally hit hard on the head by a stone. She fainted on the spot.

Xiangzhu was pouring water in the house, and when he heard the sound, he saw Hanmei lying on the ground, with blood stains on her forehead and clothes.

At the door, my young lady was tied up with ropes and carried outside by a group of people.

Xiangzhu shouted: "You are crazy, you are crazy, this is the general's mansion, you actually dare to rob people in the general's mansion, is there any royal law!"

Xiangzhu picked up the broom next to him and rushed over to fight these people.

But the little girl is a little girl after all, and these people are familiar with each other.

When Xiangzhu rushed over, an older woman stretched out her hand and gave Xiangzhu a big slap on the face.

Xiangzhu instantly felt that the sky was dark and the earth was dark, and stars appeared in front of his eyes.

Xiangzhu forced himself to hold on and continued to chase her. Another burst of stampedes hit her, and she lost consciousness after a while.

Wen Yin started to get scared when she saw that the two girls sacrificed their lives to save her but were poisoned.

What are these people going to do?

"Fifth Young Mistress, don't worry, we won't hurt you."

Wen Yin's mouth was stuffed with cotton and her body was tied with ropes, unable to move at all.

She didn't know what went wrong here. This scene never happened in her previous life.

She still wanted to struggle, but her body told her something was wrong.

Now she only felt a fire burning in her heart, gradually spreading to her limbs, and even her consciousness began to blur.

Her eyes became blurred, and she could no longer see things clearly. Everything had an extra layer of halo...

What's wrong with her?

For a long time, she thought of the bowl of bird's nest she had at noon.

Someone dropped something inside.
