Cui Zhiduan and Cui Zhiming walked forward step by step, and finally stopped in front of Aunt Cui.
"Where are you injured?"
Cui Zhiming and Cui Zhiduan shook their heads in unison: "We are all fine."
Aunt Cui's eyes fell on Cui Zhiming, who immediately lowered his head with guilt. The smell of medicinal oil on his body was so obvious that it was difficult to ignore it.
Aunt Cui said, "Zhi Ming, are you going to confess on your own, or are you going to let your great-uncle check it out in person?"
Cui Zhiming, who had just been stripped of his clothes, looked at the maids in the room from the corner of his eye. He suddenly shuddered and quickly looked at his aunt for help.
Aunt Cui also looked over with a calm gaze.
Ye Zhenzhen sighed. Sure enough, she still couldn't hide it from Aunt Cui. She must have guessed by now. She wouldn't be too irritating if she said it, so she slowly told the whole story. At the same time,
Secretly observing her old man's expression——
Mr. Ning happens to be in the house. If there are any problems, you can call him over in time.
Fortunately, things were not too bad. Although Aunt Cui's emotions were excited, they were still within controllable range. She held the hands of the two children with red eyes: "It's grandma's fault. You should have listened to your mother from the beginning.
You shouldn't be allowed to go to Yongxingfang to play with that group of people. Those places are a mixed bag of good and bad, you are worth a lot of money, so don't go there again next time."
Her eyes were full of guilt and fear, and her hands were trembling slightly. Cui Zhiming and Cui Zhiduan were both frightened. They nodded in agreement, but did not dare to refute a word.
Although Aunt Cui was a bit choking, she was in a good mood, and Ye Zhenzhen didn't dare to irritate her too much, and also followed her along.
"Mom, the children are fine, don't be sad anymore. They are very tired from this trip, please let them go down and rest."
Aunt Cui didn't want to let the children out of her sight, so she ordered the maid: "Go quickly and clear out the blue gauze cabinet, and let the two young gentlemen go in and rest."
Qiuting didn't let the little maid do it, and went to clean it up herself. The two of them often rested in the Fuxi Courtyard, but it was less recently, but the usual things were still there, and they were quickly packed away.
"You guys go and have a rest. When Mr. Ning prepares the medicine, grandma will ask you to get up and drink it."
Cui Zhiming and Cui Zhiduan both obediently allowed Aunt Cui to lead them into the blue silk closet. Because their minds were too consumed, they quickly fell asleep.
Aunt Cui waited until they fell asleep before she came out. Ye Zhenzhen immediately apologized: "Mom, it was my fault. I shouldn't have hid it from you."
"You also mean well."
Only then did Aunt Cui realize that she had been holding her little granddaughter, and she quickly went over to pick her up: "You too, you are such an old person and you don't know how to take care of yourself. What's wrong with your hands?"
"When I was going out, I accidentally fell down." Ye Zhenzhen looked at her hands, but didn't care much. She was concerned about Aunt Cui: "Mom, are you okay? Do you want Mr. Ning to give it to you?
Take your pulse?”
It can be clearly seen that Aunt Cui looks tired. It is obvious that the children's calamity has exhausted her mind too much - this is why Ye Zhenzhen wants to modify it in every possible way. If Aunt Cui had known about it from the beginning, she would have
The old man is afraid that he will be scared out of his wits.
"I'm fine, just take a rest." Aunt Cui asked tiredly: "Who are those thieves? They are just a few local gangsters. How can they have the guts to kidnap the husband of the prefect's family?"
Ye Zhenzhen shook her head: "It's not clear yet, Wei Zhen is interrogating."
She couldn't help but think of Cui Weizhen's angry appearance when parting, and she suddenly felt a headache. Although the possibility was very small, she still hoped that he could calm down quickly, otherwise she would really be unable to resist.
Xinning was tired from crying and fell asleep as soon as she was in Aunt Cui's arms. Aunt Cui carried her into the blue silk closet and slept with her brothers. She then looked at her daughter-in-law: "You have been tired all morning too.
, go and lie down quickly."
Ye Zhenzhen shook her head: "I'm not sleepy, mother, you can go and have a rest. I'll wait here to get the children up to drink medicine."
Aunt Cui also shook her head: "Since you can't sleep, you can accompany me to the small Buddhist hall to burn incense and worship the gods and Buddhas."
Ye Zhenzhen rarely engages in such superstitious activities, but this time the children were safe and there might be gods protecting them, so she willingly followed Aunt Cui to the small Buddhist hall to worship Buddha and chant sutras.
The fragrance of Buddha was heavy, and Ye Zhenzhen's heart gradually calmed down while listening to Sanskrit. Even Aunt Cui's mood improved a lot. Apart from anything else, burning incense and worshiping Buddha had the effect of calming the mind and concentrating energy.
I don’t know how long it took, but when Ye Zhenzhen knelt down and her feet were a little numb, she knocked lightly on the outside of the small Buddhist hall. Aunt Cui opened her eyes: "Mr. Fang should have sent medicine over there."
If it was as Aunt Cui said, the medicine was sent from the front, Qiuting came to inform.
The person who delivered the medicine was none other than the kid from Ningkang.
As soon as he saw Aunt Cui and Ye Zhenzhen, he bowed obediently. Aunt Cui asked him a few questions with concern, and nodded in relief when she learned that he was not injured.
Ning Kang first took out a bandage with herbs from his small medicine box and said: "Madam, this is the herb that my grandfather and I pounded for you. Change it once a day. Grandpa said you must not touch it with water. It will be ready after three days."
alright."
Ye Zhenzhen was very confident in Mr. Ning's medical skills and immediately took off the bandage on her hand. Aunt Cui frowned when she saw the wound on her palm.
"It's just a small wound."
Ye Zhenzhen coughed lightly and kept winking at Ningkang. Ningkang understood and quickly helped apply the medicine and tie the bandage. After the bandage was tied, his hand was a little swollen, but at least the dazzling wound was no longer visible.
Ye Zhenzhen didn't give Aunt Cui a chance to speak: "You have to ask Zhi Ming and Zhi to pick it up quickly. If it's too late, the medicine will get cold."
Aunt Cui was blocked by what she was talking about. She gave her a helpless look and went into the Bisha cupboard to wake up the children and drink medicine.
Not long after, Cui Zhiming and Cui Zhiduan came out of the Bisha cupboard in a daze. The maids immediately brought warm handkerchiefs to wipe their faces, and they finally became energetic.
"Kang'er, you're here."
Ning Kang nodded: "Brother Zhi Ming, brother Zhi Duan, I'm here to deliver medicine to you."
The maid brought the pastries, and Aunt Cui let them eat a few pastries to cushion their stomachs, and then brought the medicine and fed it to them herself.
Cui Zhiduan and Cui Zhiming didn't like to drink medicine, but they couldn't bear to see their grandmother being harmed, so they said obediently: "Grandma, let's drink it ourselves."
The two of them seemed to be competing. When the medicine bowl was brought to them, they took a sip and wrinkled their face in pain. Cui Zhiming wanted to drink another bowl, but after finishing it, he could not open his eyebrows.
Ye Zhenzhen took some candied fruits and gave one to each of them. Of course, the children from Ningkang were not left behind either. These boys immediately relaxed their brows.
