Inside the carved wooden window, a pale and frail girl was lying on the bed.
"Cough cough cough..."
The girl coughed suddenly and trembled violently, causing her to open her eyes uncomfortably, "Water..."
She burned so much that she felt like all the water in her body had evaporated, and her chapped lips longed to be moistened by water.
She struggled to get up from the bed and tried to get some tea on the table next to her to quench her thirst, but when she was about to get up, she rolled to the ground in pain.
"iris!"
Iris' name was called, and she looked over in confusion, only to find Peony standing at the door with a water basin and a pale face.
Shaoyao quickly put the basin aside and ran over to help her to the bed.
Iris grabbed her arm and pointed to the tea beside her.
"You want to drink water? Just wait, I'll pour it for you right away." Shaoyao immediately rushed over and poured a cup of tea, feeding Iris to drink it.
But Iris only drank half the glass and coughed up all the remaining water.
She was so ill that drinking water was a torture.
When Shaoyao saw her good sister like this, she burst into tears. She held back her tears and said, "Liuli, hold on tight. The lady has already gone to see the doctor. You will definitely be fine."
Iris smiled when she heard the word "Miss", and soon fell asleep again.
When Shaoyao touched her forehead, it was still very hot, so he could only take a handkerchief and soak it in water to apply a cold compress to her.
After another half an hour, Shaoyaolu changed the cold compress bandage for Yuanliu several times, but Yuanliu's body still showed no sign of fever, and Gu Changan did not come back.
Even the most obtuse person can detect something is wrong.
Why would the city doctors refuse to come to the Gu family for no reason? Someone must be behind it.
The only one who has reason to do this is the Marquis who had a conflict with the young lady yesterday.
Shaoyao pursed her lips, glanced at the unconscious Iris on the bed, and secretly made up her mind.
Before leaving, she changed the veil on Iris's forehead and went to see the courtyard where Gu Weirou lived without any hesitation.
Naturally, Gu Weirou would not see Shaoyao, and the person who came to see her was Bichi.
Bichi looked at Shaoyao condescendingly and mocked: "Wasn't the eldest lady very powerful when she ridiculed my young lady? Now that something has happened, she will come to our young lady for help. Why don't you be so flattering to me? Get out of here!"
After Bichi finished speaking, he took the other maids and blasted the peony out.
Shaoyao had no choice but to leave.
After Bichi and others left, they went to Gu Weirou to ask for credit.
Gu Weirou chuckled and said: "As majestic as you were yesterday, you are in such a miserable state today. No matter how powerful you are, Gu Changan, you are still under the control of your father."
"I want to see how Gu Changan will kneel in front of dad and beg for mercy today."
She knew that Gu Changan valued his two maids. Now that something happened to the maid, no doctor in the city would save her.
Gu Changan could only ask Gu Yuan.
She was looking forward to this scene very much and made sure to choose the best position to watch it.
Gu Weirou stood up and asked, "Where is dad now?"
Bi Chi paused and immediately understood what Gu Weirou meant, and replied: "Still at Young Master Qing's place."
Gu Weirou smiled and said, "It's just in time. I also went to see how my brother is doing."
Gu Weirou took Bichi and soon arrived at Liu Weiqing's yard.
As expected, Shaoyao was already kneeling in front of the courtyard door. She grabbed the hem of Gu Yuan's clothes and begged humbly.
"Master Marquis, I beg you, Iris really can't hold on any longer, just let the doctor take a look at Irises, just one look, just one look!"
She can only do this.
Gu Changan is away and he doesn't know when he will come back, and Iris' condition is getting worse and worse.
Gu Yuan made up his mind to teach Gu Changan a hard lesson this time, and he would definitely not give Gu Changan a chance.
Instead of waiting for Gu Changan to come back and be humiliated by Gu Yuan, it would be better for her, a maid, to suffer it on his behalf.
But Gu Yuan could kill Gu Changan, but he would not be merciful to her maid.
Gu Yuan kicked her over, "Isn't Gu Changan very powerful? You dared to ride on my head yesterday, but today you only dare to ask me, a maid, to beg me?"
Shaoyao endured the pain and crawled towards Gu Yuan again, begging humbly: "Miss is doing this for us. If the Marquis wants to blame, just blame us, don't take it out on the Miss. I just ask the Marquis to do good and be noble."
Save Iris’ life!”
Gu Yuandao: "Your master is born with a mean bone, and you, a slave, are equally mean. Unless Gu Changan kneels down and begs me, that Iris will just wait for death."
Peony suddenly felt like it was struck by lightning.
She never imagined that Gu Yuan would insult Gu Changan like this.
Gu Changan is his daughter, how could he say that.
Shaoyao endured the soreness in her nose. She really felt worthless and wronged for her young lady.
"It just so happens that you are here now. Gu Changan whipped Wei Qing so many times yesterday, so I want you to try this, so that Gu Changan will not think that he can climb on top of me."
Gu Yuanchong smiled slightly at Shaoyao.
He immediately called his servants over, and Shaoyao was immediately held down by four or five big men.
She struggled desperately, but how could her strength be compared to so many people? The whip was about to come down.
Shaoyao even closed her eyes.
However, the expected whip did not fall, but instead there was a scream.
Shaoyao was surprised to find that the hands that were originally on her body were loosened. She regained her freedom and opened her eyes, only to find that the big men who were restraining her were lying on the ground in pain.
Beside her, there were several fist-sized stones scattered around.
"Master Marquis, to insult my maid while I am away is unbecoming of the head of your family." Then, at the entrance of the courtyard, the girl's voice sounded coldly.
Shaoyao looked over in surprise, "Miss!"
Gu Changan was standing there, weighing a stone as big as an egg in her hand. She must have just used the method of throwing stones to knock down all the people around Shaoyao to the ground.
When Gu Yuan saw Gu Changan appear, his eyes became colder. Not to mention that as soon as this rebellious girl came and disobeyed him again, he felt his heart burning.
But he knew that Gu Changan was just a paper tiger now, "Gu Changan, you haven't even found a doctor yet, yet you dare to treat me like this. Do you really want your maid to die?"
Upon hearing this, Shaoyao's face turned a little pale. When he saw that there was no one behind Gu Changan, he immediately grabbed Gu Yuan's clothes and said, "Master Hou, don't be angry. The eldest lady didn't do it on purpose. She did it to save..."
"Shaoyao, get up." Gu Changan interrupted her.
Shaoyao was stunned for a moment, but said anxiously: "But..."
Gu Changan walked over and helped her up: "Believe me, it'll be fine."
Gu Yuan looked at Gu Changan who was so close to him and said sarcastically: "If you can't find the doctor, I'll see how you can save your maid. But if you are willing to kneel now..."
Gu Changan smiled at him, "Who said I didn't find the doctor?"
