The maid Chou was startled when she heard Dong Ke's voice. The bowl she was holding fell to the ground with a thud and broke into pieces. She quickly kowtowed and begged for mercy: "Miss, have mercy on me... slave." I used to do menial work, so I have no experience in serving people and giving them medicine."

Dong Ke frowned: "Why do you, a guy who does rough work, come to my father and serve him medicine?"

The maid didn't dare to raise her head, her whole body was trembling violently. "Yes... it was the lady who ordered the slave to come over and serve her."

Dong Ke clenched his fists, and there was a surge of anger in his heart. For a moment, there was nothing he didn't understand. All this was done by that woman from the Jiang family. She had resentment in her heart and took advantage of her father's serious illness, so she thought It was said that Lu Yao knew that Ma Li could see people's hearts over time. Now, could her father see clearly what kind of snake-hearted woman Jiang was hiding under her skin? Dong Ke sat down with a cold face and said: She took out a handkerchief from her pocket and gently wiped the concoction spilled on Dong Yong's face and body. Jiang Xiumei walked in and saw this scene, pretending not to know and asked, "Hey, what's going on? Okay. ,What are you doing kneeling on the ground?"

Dong Ke raised his eyes and looked at Jiang Xiumei coldly: "Ms. Jiang, you asked a girl who does menial work to come over and serve my father to drink medicine. What do you want?"

Jiang Xiumei couldn't help but was slightly startled. She quickly explained: "Ake, don't get me wrong. I won't deliberately let a girl who does menial work serve your father to drink medicine. In the past, there was no one else who served your father personally except me. Someone else. I hurt my hand just because I was making medicine for your father..." She spread her hand out to show Dong Ke her injury. "My hand is so badly injured that I can't even hold the soup bowl. , so I casually called a girl to come in and wait on her. Who knew that this girl is so stupid that she can’t even do such a simple task as feeding people a soup."

"It's a waste of money for our House to keep such a waste. Come on, drag this girl down and find someone to sell her to. Our House does not raise idle people."

As soon as she finished speaking, the housekeeper answered outside, and immediately took two boys and walked towards the maid. The maid was startled, her face turned pale, and she grabbed Dong Ke's dress tightly. "Big girl. , please save me, don’t let Madam sell me. If I are taken away by someone, it will be tragic, my whole life will be over."

Dong Ke frowned, a bit of unbearable flashing in his eyes. She turned to look at Jiang Xiumei: "It's not my fault, this girl, what are you doing?"

Jiang Xiumei pinched the handkerchief, pressed the corner of her mouth, and smiled: "Okay, for the sake of the big girl, I will spare this girl just once. Butler, please retreat with others..." Butler In response, Dang even exited the house. Dong Ke asked the girl to boil the medicine again. Then she looked at Jiang Xiumei and asked: "Tell me, why did my father suddenly become seriously ill? Wasn't his health very good before? Why? Suddenly you became bedridden and fell into a coma?"

Jiang Xiumei found a seat not far away and sat down. Then she pinched the handkerchief, covered the corners of her lips, and began to sob in a low voice. "I don't know what happened. Your father came from the east three days ago. After he came out of the hospital, something was wrong with him. He had a fever at first, so I called the doctor and gave him a decoction to drink, but it didn't work at all."

"Later on, Master Hou's condition became more and more serious... and now, there is no cure, and he is on his deathbed. Ake, tell me, if your father has some shortcomings, what should this huge Hou family do? .Your brother is still young, only fourteen or fifteen years old... How can he bear the heavy responsibility of the Hou family?"

"Wow, I really think the sky is going to fall. You should think of a way to save your father. Your father has treated you very well over the years. He loves you the most. You can't see him. I won’t save you until I die.”

Dong Ke was upset by her crying. She heard that her father was coming out of the East Courtyard, and something was wrong with her body. A bit of suspicion flashed in her eyes... The East Courtyard was the place where her mother lived. Ever since After my mother passed away, my father sealed that place. On weekdays, no one was allowed in except my father and her. Okay, why did my father go to the east courtyard? Why did he not get sick after going to the east courtyard? Did you get sick? Dong Ke was not at ease, so he called the doctor over and asked. The doctor sighed and shook his head: "Miss, there is nothing I can do about Mr. Hou's condition. I can't find out the cause at all... His pulse is weak and weak... no matter how you look at it, it looks like a symptom of a terminal illness."

"I'm afraid, Lord Marquis, there are only a few days left. You can go down and prepare the funeral arrangements for the Marquis..." Dong Ke's heart suddenly trembled. Her face became extremely ugly. Jiang Xiumei cried when she saw this. It became more and more fierce. Dong Ke yelled impatiently: "My father hasn't died yet, why are you crying? If you want to cry, get out and cry..." A bit of anger flashed in Jiang Xiumei's eyes, and she gritted her teeth. Staring at Dong Ke. She wanted to refute Dong Ke, but thinking of the plan, she had to suppress the anger in her throat. Her fingers twisted the handkerchief tightly, her face looked ugly. Without a word of argument, he walked out of the house. A bit of surprise flashed across Dong Ke's eyes. When did Mrs. Jiang be able to endure it so much? It's really strange. In the past, Mrs. Jiang was a master who would not suffer any losses. Today, She actually changed her personality? She didn't know why, but she always felt that something was wrong, and it seemed that everything was weird. The doctor inserted a few needles into Dong Yong. Dong Yong, who had been in a coma, took a breath and opened his eyes. Woke up. Dong Ke's eyes were filled with joy. She rushed forward and held Dong Yong's hand. "Father...are you okay now?"

Dong Yong was startled. He didn't expect that when he opened his eyes and woke up, he would see his daughter. He couldn't help but his eyes were filled with trance. "A'ke? Is it you? Why are you here?"

"Father, my daughter heard that you are seriously ill, so she came to see you..." Dong Ke's voice was choked with sobs. Dong Yongyong couldn't help but feel a sore nose: "I thought you would never want to see me as a father again. When Yun Sheng just died, I forced you to reconcile with him, but you almost severed the father-daughter relationship with me if you refused. I thought you would hate me for the rest of your life and never step into this house again. The government is here."

As he spoke, his eyes were filled with tears. He held his daughter's hand tightly with his backhand. Suddenly he remembered something, and a bit of panic flashed through his eyes. He turned his head and looked around the room. "Where is Mrs. Jiang, where is she?" ?”

Dong Ke didn't understand why, so he replied truthfully: "She has been crying here. I felt upset, so I kicked her out."

Dong Yong struggled to sit up, but it was a pity that he had been unconscious for so long and had not eaten at all to replenish his strength. Moreover, he was able to wake up now only because the doctor gave him an injection. This awakening time was only temporary. It doesn't mean that his body has recovered as before. He held Dong Ke's hand excitedly and said quickly: "Ake, listen to me, you leave the Hou Mansion immediately. Never come back again... No matter Whatever happened to me, don’t ever step into this prince’s mansion again.”

"Let's go, hurry up. Don't stay here..." Dong Ke was startled, but he didn't expect that his father would drive her away as soon as he woke up. She was a little sad, and looked at Dong Yong sadly: "Father, you ...You don’t want to see me? Are you still angry with your daughter?”

Dong Yong looked at his daughter's sad look. He felt heartbroken. He quickly shook his head and explained: "No, don't think too much. In my father's heart, no matter what you did wrong, he will never blame you."

This is his and Feng Wan's daughter. The apple of his eye that he loves most, he only hopes that she can be happy... But he doesn't know that a lot of pain is caused by himself. He feels sorry for this daughter, He was also full of guilt. Now, the entire Hou Mansion was controlled by Prince Rui, and Jiang Xiumei was also working for Prince Rui. He still couldn't guess what Prince Rui's purpose was. But for Akko, this matter was definitely not the case. A good thing. Three days ago, after he went to the east courtyard, he felt something was wrong with his body when he came out. Not long after, his whole body became hot, and his consciousness gradually began to blur. When he woke up again, Prince Rui was sitting next to his bed. Prince Rui smiled at him gently: "Master Hou, you don't have to worry about what will happen to your body. I'm just using you to catch a big fish...Mission accomplished. Finally, I will restore your body to its original state."

He wanted to ask again what King Rui was going to do, and his consciousness fell into chaos again. When he woke up again, he saw Dong Ke. He was not stupid, there was nothing he didn't understand. The big fish that King Rui is talking about is his daughter Dong Ke. Or is it that the drunkard's intention is not in the wine, but in the general's mansion behind his daughter? Yun Luan or the King of Banquets? In short, Dong Ke is nothing in the Hou's mansion. Good thing. Dong Yong figured this out and kept urging Dong Ke to leave quickly. Dong Ke didn't want to leave because she didn't understand what her father meant. She was so uncomfortable that she thought Dong Yong wouldn't even leave until now. Forgive her as a daughter. Her eyes were red: "Father, you are not in good health now. How can you leave now? No matter whether you are angry with me in your heart or not, as a child, I will not do anything at this time." Can walk."

Dong Yong's eyes were full of anxiety. There were some things that he couldn't explain clearly. Maybe Jiang Xiumei had controlled everything inside and outside the house and had her people planted. If his slightest move came to their ears, Here, I am afraid that Ake will be in danger and will not be able to leave the Marquis Mansion. "Ake, be obedient and nothing will happen to your father. The situation in this mansion is a bit complicated now... I will explain it to you when the matter is over. clear."

Dong Ke frowned, and suddenly she smelled a faint fragrance. Yun Huai looked around the room, feeling a little uneasy. He glanced at the window and door, where several figures were shaking. He pulled. Pulling Dong Ke's sleeve, he leaned close to her ear and murmured in a low voice: "Sister-in-law, I always feel that there is something weird in this... Why don't we leave first. As for Mr. Hou's illness, we can go to Fourth Sister and ask her Please ask Divine Doctor Lu to come over and check on the Marquis."

"With the medical skills of Miracle Doctor Lu, the Marquis' condition will definitely improve."

Dong Yong glanced at Yun Huai with some surprise, his eyes were full of approval. This boy was quite smart, and he grasped the key point of the problem in just a few words. Dong Ke was still hesitant at first, but now she also noticed Something was wrong. She quickly stood up and said "take care" to Dong Yong, then she pulled Yun Huai around and walked out of the inner room. After leaving the inner room, the faint fragrance was gone. But she felt that her mind was She was a little dazed. Dong Ke felt cold in her heart. She asked Yun Huai in a low voice: "Xiao Wu, do you feel that something is wrong with your body?"

Yun Huai nodded, his young face full of solemnity: "I just smelled a faint fragrance in the room. Now that I have left the room, my head was blown by the wind like this, and I always feel a little dizzy..." Dong Ke felt bad. , she grabbed Yun Huai's arm and whispered: "We will wait and see..." Yun Huai pursed his lips and nodded. The two of them walked to the door of the courtyard, raised their heads and saw Jiang Xiumei standing at the door. Jiang Xiumei did not leave. She had been waiting at the entrance of the courtyard. When she saw Dong Ke pulling Yun Huai out, she raised her eyebrows: "Girl, what are you doing?"

"My father's condition is serious. I have to ask Dr. Lu to come over and treat my father. I'll come back as soon as I go...and please take good care of my father..." Dong Ke kept walking as he spoke, pulling Yun Huai with him quickly. After leaving the courtyard, a dark light flashed across Jiang Xiumei's eyes, and she immediately stopped in front of them. "Girl, I'm afraid you can't leave now..." Dong Ke tried his best to steady his mind and looked at them calmly. Jiang Xiumei: "The Hou Mansion is my natal family. I can come when I want and leave when I want. You have no right to interfere with my freedom to come and go... Get out of the way, otherwise, don't blame me for being rude to you."

Jiang Xiumei sneered, her eyes full of contempt. "Dong Ke, do you really think that the current Hou Mansion is still a place where you can come and go freely? Your father is seriously ill, and now the entire Hou Mansion is under my control...I Say, if you can’t leave, you can’t leave.”

"Come here, please bring the eldest girl and the fifth young master back... They are not allowed to leave this yard without my permission."

She gave the order and the housekeeper immediately brought more than ten guards and surrounded Dong Ke and Yun Huai. Dong Ke's face was as dark as coal. She looked at Jiang Xiumei coldly: "Ms. Jiang, what do you mean? ?My father’s life or death is uncertain now. I want to ask Dr. Lu to treat him. Why do you want to stop me?”

"Do you mean that you don't want my father to get better? Or do you harbor evil intentions and have other purposes?"

Jiang Xiumei sneered, her eyes full of mockery. "Dong Ke, Dong Ke, tell me, how do you want me to say hello to you? I've made it so obvious, don't you understand what it means? My purpose is, of course, I used your father's illness to lure you into the house. Now that you have entered this door, there is no possibility of letting you leave."

"What surprises me is that not only did you come by yourself, but you also brought Yun Huai with you. Ha, this is a good thing. We have another bargaining chip, right?"

Dong Ke's breath was suffocated, and she held Yun Huai's hand tightly. Yun Huai's face was a little gloomy, and he whispered to Dong Ke: "Sister-in-law, it seems that we have fallen into Jiang's trap. "I'm afraid that the entire Hou Mansion is now under her control. It is estimated that she is responsible for Master Hou's illness..." Dong Ke's face was extremely ugly, and there were so many people around, and she couldn't bring him with her. Yun Huai forced her way out. She stared at Jiang Xiumei, a cold light flashing across her eyes. Then, she moved quickly and rushed behind her while Jiang Xiumei wasn't paying attention, grabbing her throat with her fingers. Jiang Xiumei didn't expect that , but in just a moment, Dong Ke actually held her hostage. Her face was ashen, and she yelled in a low voice: "Bold Dong Ke, I am your aunt, how dare you hold me hostage?"

"Let me go, otherwise, I will crush your throat and send you to the west."

Dong Ke sneered coldly. Jiang Xiumei didn't look panicked at all. She raised her lips and smiled softly: "Dong Ke, you might as well give it a try to see if your internal power can still be used... Inside and outside the Hou Mansion, everything is... Surrounded by countless guards, do you think you can break out on your own?"

"Oh, as long as you lift a finger from me, I will have people skin and bones this stinky boy Yunhuai. If you don't believe it, you can give it a try..." The next moment, countless guards appeared, starting from There was a surge of people outside. Dong Ke was startled. She used Jiang Xiumei to threaten the guards not to come close. Unexpectedly, they were unmoved at all and all attacked Yun Huai. Yun Huai could barely deal with three or four adult men. They had the upper hand, but there were dozens of people surrounding him. With his small body, he was no match for them. Within a few rounds, he was captured and controlled his hands and feet. Dong Ke's eyes were full of panic, and he When she tried to use her inner strength to rescue Yun Huai, a wave of heat surged up from her throat... She couldn't help but vomit a mouthful of blood. Her whole body was weak, and she fell to her knees. Huai's eyes were full of worry: "Sister-in-law..." Jiang Xiumei was freed, and her eyes were full of anger. She walked up to Dong Ke, grabbed her hair, and slapped her face twice unceremoniously. "Bitch, how dare you hold me hostage?"
