It was still raining outside, and the courtyard was filled with mud from the rain.
Yazhi is kneeling in the courtyard? Just thinking about it makes you realize how embarrassed she is.
This matter has nothing to do with Yazhi, how can she be allowed to kneel outside?
"Quick! Quick! Let Yazhi come in."
"No!" Qin Huairou categorically refused, "If a maid abandons her master and the master almost dies, if this is not punished, will there be any rules in this family in the future?"
Speaking of which, this family is all stubborn.
Xia Shang had Xia Shang's ideas, and Qin Huairou had Qin Huairou's estimation. It was inevitable to compete with each other.
Looking at Qin Huairou's cold face, Xia Shang felt uncomfortable.
I said in my heart that I tried my best to take you home, but you didn’t even say a word of thanks, and you didn’t give me a good look. Now I don’t listen to anything, and I am even more arrogant than modern women.
Thinking about it, Xia Shang became more resentful: "So, you don't even listen to what I say?"
"My husband wants me to come back and support this family, so I can't mess with the rules of the family. Only rewards and punishments should be measured, and dignity and inferiority should be orderly. This is the way to run a family."
"That's enough! Ahem...it's not your turn to teach me these things!"
Xia Shang yelled, causing the injury, and coughed several times.
Several people around her were shocked. Qin Huairou quickly stepped forward and stretched out her hand, but Xia Shang opened it ruthlessly.
"Xiaoyue, help me up."
Xiaoyue looked at the somewhat surprised Madam, with a confused look on her face, but Xia Shang's hand was already on her shoulder.
Xiaoyue had no choice but to help Xia Shang get up slowly and tremble outside the house.
Li Zhong was so filled with hatred that he wondered how on earth this young master had been deceived. His wife had been extremely benevolent to the Xia family, how could she still be so ruthless?
"husband……"
Li Zhong opened his mouth, Qin Huairou lowered his head and sighed, waved his hand to Li Zhong, then rubbed his forehead and looked very haggard.
Outside, the drizzle is like silk, and I can’t feel it falling on my body, but the coolness can penetrate into my heart. The ground in the courtyard is covered with a layer of water mist, and the sand and soil mixed with the rain have formed puddles of mire, and catkins floating from other homes are spread on the ground.
The yard was full, and there was no movement in the rain, just like the petite figure in the yard.
Although the rain was light, the poor man in the courtyard was already soaked to the skin. His hair was soaked by the rain and stuck to his face. It was so messed up that he couldn't even see his human shape, and his face was so pale that he looked like a delicate person.
Like a female ghost.
Kneeling blankly in the rain, shivering, but still stubbornly refusing to lower his head. It was really heart-wrenching to see.
"Yes! Yes!" Xia Shang shouted twice with great effort, but it didn't reach Yazhi's ears. He was so anxious that he pushed Xiaoyue: "Why are you still standing there? Go over and pull her up with an umbrella."
Xiaoyue was very embarrassed: "Master, my wife said that a maid should be punished if she failed in her duties, and she also accepted the punishment."
"She is not a maid!"
Xia Shang didn't want to explain any more, so he threw Xiaoyue away and walked into the rain regardless of his body.
"Ms. sir!" Qin Huairou came out at some point and grabbed Xia Shang's arm from behind, "How on earth can I get your heart back from this vixen?!"
This tall and beautiful woman should have been a high-flying flower, but now she was looking at her man expectantly like a cat wagging its tail. She knew she was humble, but there was nothing she could do. She couldn't understand.
Just because I am as tall as a man, am I ten times inferior to this petite and flowery woman?
"I am your wife! Sir!"
Qin Huairou said again with tears in her eyes.
At the same time, Yazhi also came back to her senses and saw Xia Shang standing not far in front of her. She was overjoyed and said: "Young Master!"
Those two simple words seemed to consume all Yazhi's strength, a chill filled her heart, and she fell down uncontrollably.
Seeing that Yazhi was unconscious, Xia Shang threw Qin Huairou away in desperation, took two steps over and gently supported Yazhi.
At that moment, Xia Shang didn't think much, he just thought about not letting the unconscious girl fall to the ground directly.
But for Qin Huairou, it has a completely different meaning!
This man once again abandoned himself and chose another woman!
She had sacrificed so much for him, even severing the relationship between father and daughter, shamelessly denying divorce, and risking the disapproval of the world to confront her father. However, these were not enough to win back her man's heart.
As a woman, perhaps there is no greater failure than this.
Seeing her husband carefully sending other women to the room to take care of her, Qin Huairou could not describe her feelings. She could only leave herself in the rain, hoping that the cold would wake her up.
The saying "you express your loyalty and I express my support" is just a hot-headed bastard saying. I thought that this man would wake up from a dream after a serious illness and start a new life. In the end, it was just his own wishful thinking...
…
Yazhi knelt for a whole day, without getting a drop of water or eating anything. How could a delicate woman withstand such abuse? Coupled with the continuous drizzle, even a strong man would collapse.
Xia Shang carried Yazhi to the bed and asked Xiaoyue to grab some cold-repelling medicine. He also ordered Li Zhong to cook some food quickly. The girl was too weak now.
Xia Shang's injury hasn't healed yet, and he has to take care of others. Xiaoyue and Li Zhong don't dare to disobey the young master at this time, and they just do their own thing honestly.
An hour later, the medicine was ready and the rice was cooked.
Xia Shang sat beside the bed and fed Yazhi bite by bite.
To be honest, Xia Shang didn't know who he thought of Yazhi. It was certain that he felt pity for taking care of her and liked her more or less, but the main reason was not because of this.
Yazhi didn't know what Xia Shang was thinking. She only knew that the young master was personally feeding her medicine and food. This was extraordinary care. How could she not be happy in her heart? While eating, she said words of thanks.
Seeing that the young master could wake up, Yazhi was heartbroken.
Only Xia Shang felt that the incident that day had nothing to do with Yazhi.
In ancient society, a servant went out with his master. If the servant was safe and sound in the hands of the master, no matter what the reason, the servant would bear full responsibility. This is beyond doubt.
Therefore, Yazhi blames herself in her heart.
Kneeling down is not about Qin Huairou, but about yourself.
If the young master couldn't sleep, then she would have no shame in living anymore.
"Master, my wife is right this time. The cause of this incident is all because of me. Fortunately, the master is safe, otherwise Yazhiwan will be held responsible for his death."
"Stop talking nonsense and take good care of yourself. I'll go and see if the lotus seed soup is ready for you."
"Yes." Yazhi nodded lightly.
Xia Shang went outside the house and was about to open the door.
Suddenly Xiaoyue rushed in, and saw that the girl's face was pale. She didn't know what a terrible thing she had seen, and her lips were trembling: "No, no, no, no... it's not good."
