Before Yan Chunsheng could react, the carriage started moving again.
His eyes followed the whip marks on the ground, and his legs became weak with fear.
There were deep whip marks all over the ground. If this hit him on his body, he would not die but would be disabled.
Since when did that mean girl Yan Shiqing have such an expert beside her?
She is not his own daughter, she was brought back from outside by Niang and Suyun. Could it be that she is some kind of noble person, or the daughter of some criminal minister?
How else could it be explained to the people around her?
And how to explain the incident about the young master who came with a bunch of thugs last time?
Capital City, Zhenguohou Mansionxdw8
In the study room, there is a man who looks to be about twenty-seven or eighty-years-old, wearing a small silver crown inlaid with jade, a black straight-leg court dress, and a gold-threaded brocade belt of the same color around his waist, with a face like a crown of jade, sword-shaped eyebrows and starry eyes.
At this moment, he was staring at the note in his hand, his eyes were lowered, and his whole body exuded the aura of not letting anyone enter.
"Master Hou?"
The man who was kneeling down on one knee still couldn't get an answer from his master, so he asked in confusion.
Ding Beiyu, the Marquis of Zhenguo, took his eyes away from the note and looked at the man kneeling below. From his naturally raised thin lips, he uttered a sentence that made people feel chills all over his body after hearing it: "Send the order and kill without hesitation. I would rather kill someone by mistake."
Thousands, never let go of one."
"Yes, Master!"
The man received the order and stood up to accept the order.
Not long after, a woman who looked like she was in her early twenties, with creamy skin and a slender waist came over with a bowl of red date and black chicken soup.
After she stood still at the door, she reached out and knocked on the door, whispering softly: "Master Hou!"
Ding Beiyu knew who was coming when he heard the sound. He immediately destroyed the note in his hand and said, "Come in!"
Today, the woman is wearing a golden double-breasted stand-up collar, a golden flower braid, and her three-thousand-black hair is pulled into a fairy bun. There are three beaded flower hairpins inserted here and there, with tassels hanging from them, which sway as she steps forward.
Swaying like a moving beauty.
"Master Hou, I heard that you haven't had dinner today, so I sent someone to make a black chicken soup and delivered it to you personally. You can drink it while it's hot!"
After the woman said this, she placed the red date black chicken soup in front of Ding Beiyu.
Ding Beiyu raised his head and looked at the woman's pale face, feeling dazed for a moment.
"Master Hou?"
"Nothing, you go down first!"
Hearing this, Luo Jiaochu glanced at him without leaving any trace, and then gave a simple salute: "Yes, I will come down right now. The government affairs are always busy, and the Marquis must not overdo it."
Work hard!"
Ding Beiyu rubbed his temples with one hand and waved to her, indicating that she could go down.
Luo Jiaocheng had long been numb to this way of getting along. When she exited the study, she didn't go far when she saw Su Zining coming towards her.
"My sister is feeling better today. My sister looks really good."
Luo Jiaocheng knew her status in this mansion, so she did not share her knowledge. When she heard her words, she said: "No matter how good it is, it is just an appearance, but in reality, it is just a ruined body. How can I survive for one more day?"
, that’s all God’s mercy.”
After she said this, she started coughing again.
After a while, I saw that her face became paler and paler, and the embroidered handkerchief covering her mouth was covered in red spots.
Seeing her like this, Su Zining was very satisfied, but she still couldn't help but said: "Sister, my body is not good, so I will take good care of it in the hospital. My sister is responsible for everything in the house. I just need to relax, so
Maybe I can live a few more days."
When Luo Jiaocheng heard this, she held the embroidered handkerchief's hand and squeezed it into her palm, but she didn't feel any pain at all.
Su Zining lost interest when he saw her eyes lowered and she looked like she was letting others rub her. He snorted coldly and led the girl towards the study.
Two-quarters of an hour later, Luo Jiaochou returned to her Qingyuan, and Nanny Luo stepped forward and helped her back to the room to sit down.
"Madam, why are you doing this?"
Aunt Luo smelled the smell of blood on her body and sighed helplessly.
"As long as my son can recover and live safely, I can do whatever I want!"
Luo Jiaochi said, coughing slightly again.
Aunt Luo hurriedly patted her on the back, and after she calmed down the discomfort, she said again: "Miss Jiren has her own destiny, and she will be fine. Madam, please don't worry."
Luo Jiaocheng shook her head gently: "How can a mother not be worried? Since my son was born, he will have haircut in less than half a year. But I have never seen him even once except for the day he was born.
Mammy, do you think she will blame me?"
Nanny Luo was the dowry girl of Luo Jiaocheng. Although she was a master's servant, she was a sister, so she was given the surname Luo in her husband's family. After Luo Jiaocheng's father and mother passed away one after another, she was found by Luo Jiaochi.
With an excuse, I was sent to the residence of Marquis Zhenguo.
Nowadays, Qingyuan has no other servants except Nanny Luo and Su Xin, the girl Luo Jiaochao was originally married to.
"If the young lady knew Madam's current situation, I'm afraid she would be distressed. How could she blame Madam."
What Nanny Luo said was extremely sad.
In today's capital, who doesn't know that the Marquis of Zhenguo has a sick wife who doesn't see outsiders all year round, and that Su Gui's concubine is in charge of all the ministers in the palace?
Who in the Hou Mansion doesn't know that Madam Zhenguo Hou, apart from having an empty reputation, is not even as good as a second-class girl in Su Gui's concubine?
Although she can move freely, the relationship between the Marquis and her is not good, and she can only see the Marquis once a month. She is an invisible existence in the Marquis's mansion.
When Luo Jiaocheng heard the words about her situation, she smiled bitterly, with regret in her eyes: "I brought all this on myself, and I can't blame anyone. If I hadn't been willful and married him back then, I wouldn't be able to do it now."
So. Now I don’t ask for anything, I just hope that God can bless my son to live in peace."
After she said this, she changed the topic and said to Aunt Luo: "Auntie, is Su Xin still in the kitchen? Ask her to come over. I have something to see her!"
"yes!"
Su Xin and Yan Shiqing's adoptive mother Su Yun are full-blood sisters, one is knowledgeable in medicine and the other is knowledgeable in martial arts. However, one is married to Mrs. Ruan's son, Yan Chunsheng, but the other has never married.
When Grandma Luo found Su Xin in the small kitchen, she was cooking: "Su Xin, Madam is calling you. Come over quickly, I'll be here!"
Su Xin looks very similar to Su Yun, and the age difference between the two sisters is only two years. People who don't look closely might think that this person is Su Yun.
"Miss, Grandma Luo said you were looking for me?"
To be honest, Su Xin was a little dissatisfied with her young lady's passive attitude as if she was waiting for death. But as a servant, she always kept in mind that her master's wishes came first and she had to obey her master's orders first. Therefore, no matter how dissatisfied she was, she never expressed it.
.
Luo Jiaochou and Su Xin grew up together. After more than thirty years of getting along day and night, how could he not understand her inner thoughts.
