Duwei Chen died miserably in his mansion, and this incident caused an uproar in Tongcheng.
The government officials searched day and night for the person, but found nothing. Gradually, as soon as the heat wave passed, people stopped taking it seriously.
At the end of summer, Yu Weiyin had to recover from his injury for several days before he could get out of bed.
Externally, she just claimed that she was infected with the cold and was not suitable to see people. It happened that at that time, Yu Song had business matters at hand, so he did not focus on her. She pretended to be cold, but it was not exposed.
Liang and Yu Chutian suddenly changed their temperament and treated Yu Weiyin with extra warmth. They came to offer tea and greetings every day, and were as attentive as maids.
Yu Weiyin didn't criticize it, it was like a mirror, reflecting the person perfectly.
They pretended to be cowardly and pretentious, so she pretended to be fake and acted in every situation.
However, an embroidered screen was set up next to the bed curtain to block the pale sick face, and the strong Yuelin incense was used to cover up the smell of the golden sore medicine.
This happened day and night, but fortunately the mother and daughter did not become suspicious.
After Liang and Yu Chutian left Qifang Courtyard, Yao Xiang removed the embroidered screen and stared at her young lady with distress.
"Miss, you are injured and need to rest now. Why are you so distracted and distracted by dealing with these despicable people?"
Ever since that night, Shao Mo brought Yu Weiyin back, who was unable to move, and almost frightened Yao Xiang to death. She cried bitterly for several days before finally recovering.
Yu Weiyin knew that she was worried about herself, so he stretched out his hand to hold the back of her hand and said with a smile: "Yao Xiang, the two of them lost the book. Now they are so anxious that they go to Qifangyuan every day. However, She just suspected that I had picked up her booklet. If I stay behind closed doors now, she might cause trouble even more. It would be better for the soldiers to come and cover up the water and the earth, so what is there to be afraid of?"
Seeing the red corners of Yao Xiang's eyes, she paused.
"Now, my body and bones are much better and I can already sit down and walk. Silly girl, what else do you have to worry about?"
Yao Xiang rubbed the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, smiled through her tears, and said, "It's all thanks to Duan Lang's gift of plaster! Miss, I'd better thank him nicely."
"oh--"
Yu Weiyin lengthened his voice and actually started thinking seriously, smiling slyly, "Well, Yao Xiang, please come up with an idea for me, how should I thank him?"
"This...servant doesn't know..."
Although Duan Lang and she were both domestic slaves, their lives in the Yu Mansion were very good and they were both contented.
"Yes!" Yu Weiyin clapped his hands and said with a smile, "Duan Lang now has enough food and clothing, but he only needs a wife. How about you let me choose a wife for him to repay his kindness?"
As she spoke, she didn't wait for Yao Xiang's answer and just kept talking to herself.
"I have a good candidate in mind, but I don't know if Duan Lang has the right person in his heart. Yao Xiang, why don't you go to Yongxing Silk and Satin Factory for me and ask him for me. If there is no right person, I will find him. Dad made the decision and arranged his marriage."
Yao Xiang blushed when she heard this. It could be seen that the lady didn't mention herself, so she couldn't help but feel flustered again and hurriedly asked:
"Whose girl does the young lady have your fancy for?"
Yu Weiyin nodded repeatedly.
"I have taken a fancy to a girl from the same family. The girl is handsome and hard-working. She is a perfect match for Duan Lang."
After hearing this, Yao Xiang's face showed panic and she spoke hastily.
"Miss, marriage is not a trivial matter. You can't just make a hasty engagement with that woman just because you like her!"
"Yao Xiang, I am engaged to Duan Lang, why are you so anxious? Why don't you ask me whose girl he fell in love with?"
Yao Xiangnao couldn't help but blushed with embarrassment, but she mustered up the courage to look up at Yu Weiyin.
"Miss, tell me whose family the girl is from?"
Yu Weiyin was impressed by her courage and admired her sincerely. He stretched out his hand and touched her forehead, "Xiao Nizi, that girl's name is Yao Xiang, do you recognize her?"
As soon as these words came out, Yao Xiang's face turned red, but her eyes suddenly lit up.
"Okay! The lady is making fun of me again! I can't spare the lady this time!"
After saying that, he reached out and wanted to scratch Yu Weiyin's creaking nest. Yu Weiyin's body had just recovered a little, but he was not strong enough to withstand her repeated pestering. After a while, he began to beg for mercy.
"Hao Yaoxiang, stop now, please, ah, help..."
Yao Xiang thought that Yu Weiyin's words just now were a joke on her. She became more and more embarrassed and didn't know how to deal with herself, so she didn't stop. When she was about to continue her attack, her arms suddenly tightened and she could no longer use her strength.
When she raised her head, she was dumbfounded, "Shao Mo?"
Yu Weiyin was lying on his back on the couch at this time. When he saw Yao Xiang's arm being held by Shao Mo, he was startled and his eyes showed confusion.
"Shao Mo, why did you come in?"
Shao Mo, on the other hand, only glanced at her, then hurriedly lowered his head and said in a deep voice: "Mo thought the young lady was ill... Mo, Mo will get out immediately!"
Seeing him hurried away, his tall and straight body almost tripped when he passed the threshold. Yu Weiyin was both shocked and amused.
Yao Xiang screamed loudly.
"Miss! This Shao Mo is a pervert! He breaks into the lady's boudoir without permission, you must punish him!"
Following Yao Xiang's gaze, Yu Weiyin lowered his eyes. He was only wearing a moon-white tunic. When he was playing around with Yao Xiang just now, the collar was a little loose, revealing a small piece of jade-like snow skin, and the shape of a ditch could be vaguely glimpsed.
Her face suddenly turned red, she hurriedly raised her hands to cover it, and said angrily: "Yao Xiang, what are you looking at?"
Yao Xiang hurriedly opened her eyes and stepped forward to arrange her clothes. The glance just now made even her blush and her heart beat. Then Shao Mo would definitely...
Thinking of the young lady's jade-like skin and beautiful curves being peeped by that person, Yao Xiang couldn't help but get angry, as if she saw a cabbage being raped by a pig.
"Miss, I really feel that Shao Mo is unkind to the lady."
Yu Weiyin's cheeks were hot.
"You weren't the one who brought him here because you kept tickling my creaks. He was also worried about my safety."
"But Miss, you didn't call him by name, so why did he come in without permission? Doesn't he really regard himself as a slave?"
Yao Xiang exclaimed, "Everyone in the mansion is saying that he wants to get close to you, Miss, so that he can become the uncle of the Yu Mansion in the future!"
Yu Weiyin's heart trembled slightly, but he pretended not to care, "These are just what others say, do you believe it?"
"That slave is thinking about the lady! Shao Mo was bought into the house by the lady, so he should fulfill his duties as a slave. He actually wants to be the girl's pillow. He really wants to eat swan meat!"
"Okay, Yao Xiang, don't say that, he's not that bad either."
Yu Weiyin frowned slightly and sighed.
"When the matter at hand is resolved, I will find a reason to let him out of the house. Why do you have to be so repulsive to him? After all, without him, I would have died several times in my life."
When Yao Xiang heard that Shao Mo was going to leave, she couldn't help but raise the corners of her lips.
"It is his duty to protect the young lady. Why should the young lady treat him differently? The husband-in-law whom the young lady will marry in the future is either rich or noble. How can he be a slave?"
Yu Weiyin opened his mouth, wanting to say something for Shao Mo, but in the end he said nothing more.
Yao Xiang was devoted to her, and she had no intention of changing other people's thoughts. Anyway, Shao Mo would leave the Yu Mansion sooner or later, it was only a matter of time.
But through a carved window, the people standing outside the window suddenly felt chilled after hearing these words.
Find a reason to let him leave the house...
Just a slave...
The fist tightened again and again, almost crushing the meridians of the arm, and finally turned around, leaving only Xiao Mo's back.
