Most of them were just pretending at first. Aunt Ding just wanted to alarm Xie Jun and make him relent. Unexpectedly, Xie Jun was ruthless and kept coming to Lanxiangyuan.
Aunt Ding's illness turned from a fake illness to a real illness. She often clutched her chest and cried out in pain. She shed tears during the day, and often cried and refused to sleep at night. The maids around her all looked depressed.
Especially Wen Qi, who boiled and fed medicine every day to comfort Aunt Ding who spent her days in tears. She lost a lot of weight from the pain and her complexion looked gloomy.
Xie Jun entered Lanxiang Courtyard and saw Wen Qi first, and he immediately felt disgusted: "Why did she become so ugly?"
Wen Qi felt wronged and embarrassed, and almost started crying.
Xie Jun values face most, and even the servants and maids who serve him must be handsome and pleasing to the eye.
Aunt Ding is a beauty, and Wen Qi is also a pretty maid. She used to have some thoughts about Xie Jun. Unfortunately, Aunt Ding was very jealous, and Wen Qi did not dare to reveal her thoughts. At most, she secretly glanced at Xie Jun behind Aunt Ding's back.
Now that Xie Jun dislikes her like this, all the thoughts in Wen Qi's heart are like bubbles, disappearing into nothing.
…
Xie Jun stepped into Aunt Ding's house, and a strong bitter medicinal smell hit his face.
Xie Jun frowned, and when he saw Aunt Ding, who was thin and haggard, her appearance had dropped sharply, he frowned even more: "Hanxiang, how did you ruin yourself like this?"
Aunt Ding was about to get up and throw herself into Xie Jun's arms to cry. When she heard such heartless and meaningless words, she was so angry that her heart and lungs were about to explode. She immediately covered her face and started crying: "Yes, yes, I am old now."
He is old and yellow, and is unsightly. You should go find some spring peaches and autumn chrysanthemums! Why bother looking at my disgusting face!"
As soon as Aunt Ding cried, Xie Jun immediately softened a little. He walked up to sit on the bed and hugged Aunt Ding's thin shoulders: "I feel sorry for you, not disgust."
"Stop crying! If you are so seriously ill, you can't keep torturing your body like this. Otherwise, when will you get better?"
Aunt Ding cried more and more heartbreakingly, holding Xie Jun's clothes tightly with both hands: "You have no conscience. I have been sick for so long, and you don't come to see me. Every day is romantic and happy, doting on those two
You bastard, how can you still take me seriously..."
Xie Jun is the best at coaxing people, and he comes with sweet words: "They are just toys to relieve boredom, they are not as good as a finger of yours."
"After a few months, you recover from your illness and the confinement order is lifted. I will send them both away."
Aunt Ding stopped crying and raised her head with a look of disbelief on her face: "You want to continue to lock me up?"
"You did something wrong. How can you live up to Ming Niang without a heavy punishment?" Xie Jun did not relent this time, and said in a deep voice: "You will be banned for half a year, not even a day less."
Aunt Ding felt as if she had been struck by lightning, her delicate body trembling like pear blossoms in the wind.
"Xie Jun! In your heart, am I not as important as Ming Niang?" Aunt Ding asked tremblingly.
A trace of impatience flashed in Xie Jun's eyes: "Ming Niang is our daughter, you, a mother, still have to compete with your own daughter!"
Aunt Ding's heart felt like an ice cellar, completely cold.
Xie Jun let go of Aunt Ding, stood up, said, "You are recovering well, I will come see you when I have time," and walked away.
Aunt Ding's whole body was cold, she wrapped her arms around herself subconsciously, and her tears rolled down like raindrops.
The original guilt towards Xie Mingxi was replaced by hatred.
It must be Xie Mingxi who instigated and instigated Xie Jun in front of Xie Jun, so Xie Jun separated from her! It must be like this! If she had known that this day would come, she should not have given birth to this rebellious and unfilial daughter!
…
"Miss Qizhen, I went to Lanxiang Courtyard today. I heard that I had a quarrel with Aunt Ding and broke up unhappy."
Congyu collects news from the mansion every day, and as soon as Xie Mingxi returns to the mansion, he immediately goes forward to report.
Xie Mingxi hummed casually.
Cong Yu hesitated for a moment before asking in a low voice: "Miss, Aunt Ding has been ill for more than a month and has not gotten better. Why don't you go to Lanxiang Courtyard to visit her?"
Aunt Ding is ill and Xie Mingxi has not visited her, which is not good.
Xie Mingxi raised her eyes and asked calmly: "What's wrong? Is there someone in the house who is gossiping?"
Congyu did not dare to hide anything and replied in a low voice: "There are indeed some servants who make trouble out of nothing and chew their tongues."
"It doesn't matter. You have your mouth on their face, and it's up to them to say what they want." Xie Mingxi obviously didn't take this matter to heart, and said casually: "Besides, if I go, my aunt will only become more heartbroken and sick.
"
I've already broken up with each other, wouldn't it be ridiculous to visit him in a pretentious manner?
Come to think of it, Aunt Ding, who was ill, didn't want to see her either.
Congyu had no choice but to stop trying to persuade him.
Ye Qiuniang had already prepared dinner, and now she brought it over and placed the meals on the table one by one. When she leaned over, a touch of silver slipped from her left wrist.
Xie Mingxi took a glance.
It is a silver bracelet with exquisite colors. This kind of silver bracelet is not expensive and is often worn by the maids of Xie Mansion.
As a cook, it is inconvenient to carry accessories on her hands. Ye Qiuniang usually wears simple clothes, but this is the first time she wears bracelets on her hands.
Ye Qiuniang blushed and quickly retracted her hand.
Xie Mingxi pretended to be casual and asked with a smile: "This silver bracelet is exquisitely made."
Ye Qiuniang's cheeks were slightly warm, but she didn't hide it: "My cousin came to see me today, and he gave me this silver bracelet. I put it on casually."
The cousin in Ye Qiuniang's mouth is Zhao Yang, the lover who used Ye Qiuniang as a chess piece in his previous life. Ever since Ye Qiuniang worked as a cook in the Xie Mansion, Zhao Yang would always come to see Ye Qiuniang once or twice a month.
Xie Mingxi's eyes flashed and she asked casually: "Is the cousin you are talking about Zhao Yang who works as a guard in Linjiang Palace?"
Ye Qiuniang has always been generous, but when she mentioned Zhao Yang, she showed a bit of shyness: "Exactly. After my father passed away, my mother has been sick, thanks to my cousin who often takes care of her."
After a pause, he whispered again: "To be fair to you, Miss, my mother's condition has worsened recently. She invited a doctor to see her and prescribed medicine. However, the medicine requires ginseng tablets..."
Ginseng is expensive, but even two ginseng slices a day is a staggering amount in a month.
The Ye family's wealth had long been emptied, and now it was all supported by Ye Qiuniang's monthly salary of ten taels of silver. As Ye's mother became seriously ill, she was once again stretched thin.
My younger brother Ye Jingzhi is now studying at Boyu Academy and is very high-spirited.
Thinking of what Zhao Yang said during the day, Ye Qiuniang hesitated in her heart, but she had no words to say it to Xie Mingxi.
Xie Mingxi looked at Ye Qiuniang: "You have something to say, but it doesn't matter."
Ye Qiuniang's heart trembled, and she knelt down: "My mother needs money to treat her illness. My cousin said that Linjiang Palace is hiring a cook at a high price. He has mentioned it to the steward and asked me to give it a try." (To be continued.)
