Xu slept until midnight. When she woke up in a daze, she found a candle lit by the bedside, and Hanqiao was guarding the bedside with a tired look on her face.
That night, Hanqiao didn't dare to relax. When she saw Mr. Xu slowly opening her eyes, she immediately stepped forward and asked, "Madam, you are finally awake! Look at me, do you recognize me?"
Mrs. Xu had just woken up and was still a little dazed. When she heard her asking this question, she frowned and said, "Aren't you just being clever..."
Hanqiao immediately looked surprised and interrupted Xu's words: "Buddha bless you, you are finally getting better. Madam, do you still remember what happened yesterday?"
After hearing this, Mrs. Xu's memories of yesterday gradually came back to her, and she didn't know what to say for a while.
But Hanqiao didn't use her to speak, and already said to herself: "Oh, yesterday you said you wanted to rest in the room, let the slaves and Hanzhu go out to do whatever they want.
"I didn't expect that when we came back, we would see you as if you had lost your soul. Not only had you changed your clothes, but you were also staring blankly at the wall without saying a word or moving.
"The slaves were frightened at that time. It was getting late and we were in this mountain temple, and we couldn't even find a doctor.
"Later, this slave looked at you as if you were suffering from somnambulism that I had heard of before, so I helped you lie down, hoping that you would be fine after you woke up.
"Hey, I just felt more and more unsure the longer I waited... Fortunately, you finally woke up,"
Hanqiao eloquently explained the reasons why she had arranged for Mrs. Xu clearly, and at the end she even added a little more to swallow.
Mrs. Xu herself didn't even need to use her brain, Hanqiao arranged it clearly, and she was very satisfied.
At this moment, Hanzhu Xunsheng, who had not slept at all outside, also got up and went into the house. Seeing that Mrs. Xu was back to normal, she almost cried with joy.
"Thanks to Sister Hanqiao who knows so much, I was so panicked yesterday."
Mrs. Xu looked at Hanqiao and felt that since Grandma Guo left, this girl has become more and more capable, and she is indeed a good prospect who can be reused.
Thinking of this, she said softly to Hanqiao: "You just stayed like this all night?"
"Yes, the way you were at that time, the servant naturally had to guard you, for fear that something would happen to you, and thought that if you were still not well in the morning, I would take you back to the city to see the doctor.
The slave asked Hanzhu to go to bed first, so that the two of them could have a replacement, so that they would not collapse from exhaustion. Who would have thought that before the slave could ask Hanzhu to get up and change, you would wake up."
"Yes, ma'am, last night was all thanks to sister Hanqiao." Hanzhu didn't know the truth from beginning to end, but now she truly admires Hanqiao.
Mrs. Xu raised her hand and patted Hanqiao and said: "Good boy, I don't remember anything about last night. It's all thanks to you. I'll reward you well when I get back!"
"I don't want any reward, as long as my wife is safe and sound." Hanqiao said obediently, "Otherwise, I won't know how to explain to the master when I go back. Yesterday, before leaving the house, the master also asked me to take good care of you.
Where’s the madam!”
When Mrs. Xu heard this, she felt a little better. She smiled and said, "After all, we have been husband and wife for more than ten years. Although we usually have noisy moments, I know that I still have my heart in my heart."
Hanzhu was confused when she saw that Hanqiao could mention Shen Zhonglei in front of Mrs. Xu with such a calm face.
If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes and heard it with her own ears, she wouldn't have believed it even if her own mother and father told her about it.
Because when Hanqiao mentioned Shen Zhonglei in front of Mrs. Xu, he was so natural and magnanimous, without a trace of hesitation, guilt, or panic.
She suddenly felt as if she had never known Hanqiao.
Hanqiao's back was turned to Hanzhu. Naturally, she didn't know that she was starting to collapse a little inside at this time. She smiled and continued to make Mrs. Xu happy: "That's not it. What the master treats his wife is seen by everyone in the house.
Especially when the old lady came recently. As a daughter-in-law, she has been serving her carefully. The master sees this and will naturally keep it in mind."
"It's true that I am the most filial person." Mrs. Xu said, she couldn't help but think of her natal family again, and then she thought of the troublesome Zhao Haijun. Her mood had just improved.
He fell down again in an instant.
Upon seeing this, Hanqiao thought that the topic of filial piety had made Xu feel homesick, so he immediately stopped talking.
"Madam, it's still early now, so you'd better sleep a little longer. When it's time to burn incense, I'll call you. I won't miss the time."
Although Mrs. Xu had had enough sleep, she urgently needed time to organize her thoughts, so she calmly lay down on the bed again, turned over and faced the wall, thinking in her mind how to completely get rid of the threat of Zhao Haijun.
Hanqiao settled Xu, and when she turned around, she saw Hanzhu looking at him with a strange look.
The two people looked at each other, and Hanzhu immediately looked away in panic.
Hanqiao had thought that Hanzhu was a little weird today, but there were so many things going on at the time that she didn't think about it for a moment.
At this moment, I happened to bump into him, so I pulled him directly to the outer room and asked in a low voice: "Hanzhu, what happened to you today? What did I do wrong to make you unhappy?"
"We have been working together in front of Madam for several years. As sisters, is there anything you can't say to me directly?"
Hanzhu was afraid that she couldn't control her expression, so she quickly lowered her head, rubbed the corners of her clothes and said: "I just feel that I am so useless, but I only came here one year later than my sister. When something happens, I still panic and don't know what to do."
That’s good.”
Hanqiao knew that Hanzhu was a conscientious person, but he didn't fully believe her words.
However, she still raised her hand to rub Hanzhu's head and said with a smile: "I thought it was something! You silly girl, what's the matter? I'll teach you more in the future."
After a lot of ideological struggle, Hanzhu couldn't help but wanted to remind Hanqiao: "Madam really trusts my sister. If you rely on me so much, my sister will definitely repay Madam well, right?"
"It's natural. Don't say that Madam is so good to me. Even if she is not so good, Madam is the master and I am the slave. It is only natural that the slave be good to the master and plan for the master."
Hanqiao suddenly felt enlightened when she heard Hanzhu suddenly mention this.
Hanzhu was not feeling depressed because of her incompetence. She clearly felt that Mrs. Xu favored her, and she felt unhappy.
The sense of inconsistency that I just noticed was instantly explained, and Hanqiao couldn't help but feel funny.
This girl didn't even notice that Mrs. Xu was pretending, let alone help Mrs. Xu find the steps and help her walk down comfortably.
Just trying to be on an equal footing with yourself is a fool's errand.
