"What? Leave her?" Lou Xiliu was shocked and almost jumped up in anxiety. She just came back and she didn't know that the Marquis was poisoned. "How to save her? Didn't you say that the Marquis would go see her in the next two days and find that she was missing something?"
A puppet? We can't steal it."
Cao Xiwan said righteously: "I never steal. I'll go to the Marquis and tell him directly. It's just a small matter."
Are you tired of living? Lou Xiliu was dumbfounded. Even if she was the Qingluo female ghost, Marquis Nankang would kill her if he knew she sneaked into the secret room and stole a puppet.
She winked at Lou Xiliu, hinting that she had poisoned Mr. Hou. Mr. Hou had no time to do anything these days.
"...???" Lou Xiliu couldn't understand the hint of her wink.
This happened for half a month.
Liu Ruhai also accepted his fate and started prescribing prescriptions for Feng Xiaochu.
"Sixth Young Master comes to visit you in the study from time to time, doesn't he?" He was still asking while cooking the medicine.
"Yes. The Sixth Young Master is trying to please me and flatter me. Su Jintian also wrote a letter of recommendation to Yang Qinghe. I have known for a long time that in the yamen, there is no one who is not a sinister person. He has to control his subordinates, especially the Sixth Young Master.
For a young master with a background like the young master, Su Jintian must have heard that Mrs. Hou was pregnant and felt that the sixth young master had no chance to inherit the title, so he became strict. This person is really a snobbery——!"
She sighed and did not mention the news of Mrs. Hou's pregnancy at all. She asked Xiliu to take it back to Su Jintian. She was sure that the pregnancy would be safe and nothing would happen.
In her opinion, regardless of whether the child is a boy or a girl, if it is a boy, it is the legitimate son. If it is a daughter, Lou Shuluan will definitely get pregnant again. Even if she takes ten thousand steps back and cannot give birth to a legitimate son, the wife will still find a mother's family.
His sister was given to the Marquis as his concubine, and she gave birth to a child and took her as his heir.
Su Jintian naturally had to trust her when it came to the affairs of the inner house. In this way, the young master of the second wife was shunned by Qingluo Biying because his wife was pregnant. Yang Qinghe successfully obtained the letter of recommendation.
In the second room, the master and his wife were anxious, but the Marquis was still recuperating. No matter who came, the second steward would stand in the way. The second master quickly invited Liu Ruhai to the lotus courtyard to discuss it, and asked how many days it would take for the Marquis to recover.
Liu Ruhai was not in a hurry. He wore an apron and cooked medicine in the kitchen every day, and occasionally visited the second and sixth rooms.
After his secret persuasion, the Sixth Young Master was also able to bend and stretch, and his face became thicker and thicker. He used to ask Sanxi to come and give her gifts, but now he comes to her door himself.
"Sixth Young Master, even if you don't become a lord, you might still be able to do something on your own in the future." As she spoke, she was carrying a blue fruit to Luoyuan. She stopped in front of the kitchen door and chatted with Liu Ruhai. She was still chewing it in her mouth.
Holding the fruit sent by the Sixth Young Master.
"Want to eat?" She handed one to Liu Ruhai.
Liu Ruhai thought that she had to tell the Sixth Young Master that there was still hope for him. At least Cao Xiwan had no interest in eating the fruits of the Yang family. Because Lu Xiuyun must have twisted her ears and warned her. Is it better to side with the Crown Princess or Song Liangdi?
There should never be any vague questions.
She sat on the verandah, eating fruit, basking in the sun, squinting her eyes and recalling: "Xiuyun felt that Father Lu didn't have her in his heart. It didn't matter whether he had Xiao Chu or not. If I had known this, Xiuyun would have entered the palace, and Xiao Chu would be here
It would be nice to stay with Dad Lu outside the palace and support him until his death."
"It's not like Miss Lu doesn't leave the palace."
"She and the eldest lady grew up together. The eldest lady is gentle and tolerant and has no parents. She is very kind to us girls. She is especially the best to Xiuyun. Xiuyun may stay in the palace her whole life."
"As for Su Jintian's proposal of marriage..."
She was startled, thinking seriously, and actually felt completely unsure. Liu Ruhai laughed and said, "I don't think Ms. Lu would believe it.'
That makes sense! She thought to herself. Liu Xiaozi knew Lu Xiuyun's heart very well. Because Xiuyun felt that her own father didn't care about her, let alone other men? She never dared to get too close to men when she saw them. No matter how much she liked Su Jintian, she would feel ashamed.
, I feel that I am not worthy of Su Jintian. It is obvious that Su Jintian has changed his lovers one after another, and is extremely unreliable. Xiuyun still seems to be blind.
The weather was fine that day, and while she was taking a nap together on the porch, the Sixth Young Master, by chance, did not meet her in the outer study.
Granny Map could only say: "Ms. Cao often goes to Luoyuan to take medicine. Doctor Liu over there prescribes medicine. You should drink it while it's hot."
"Thank you very much." The sixth young master was gentle and polite. After leaving the study room, he rushed to Luoyuan.
Cao Xiwan woke up from her nap. She walked in the sunshine, led Feng Xiaochu with a rope, and walked the puppet in the yard three times a day.
As soon as he heard someone approaching, he quickly brought Feng Xiaochu into the main room and asked her to sit on a chair.
In order to prevent accidents, she had helped Feng Xiaochu comb her hair and change her clothes, pretending to be an ordinary lady.
She even thought of a name, which was Mrs. Gu, the daughter of the Gu family, from Liu Ruhai's relative's family. The mother and daughter in the family were poor and both were sick, and their fiancé since childhood also died. Liu Ruhai kindly gave her medicine for free.
.
However, these were of no use.
"This is..." The Sixth Young Master was quite surprised when he saw Feng Xiaochu who had changed his clothes. He couldn't help but take a second look.
Cao Xi looked at the Sixth Young Master up and down at night, and Liu Ruhai heard her saying to herself: "He looks pretty good."
Liu Ruhai really couldn't bear to extend her claws to the Sixth Young Master, so she quickly invited the Sixth Young Master to enjoy the flowers and have tea in the yard. However, the Sixth Young Master came here because he wanted to see Cao Xiwan, so he couldn't help but keep looking back at the house.
"Sixth Young Master has something to do with Madam Cao?"
"I don't want to hide it from Mr. Shoushi. I want to ask Madam Cao to help Su Baihu have a banquet at Sanchun Tower."
Liu Ruhai smiled and whispered: "There is no rush today. When she goes to talk to Miss Suyun in her aunt's yard, you should think that you met her by chance and then talk to her about it. Miss Suyun must be there for six
If the young master speaks, she will not refuse."
The Sixth Young Master understood this and quickly handed over his hand: "Thank you, Mr. Shoushi."
After sending the Sixth Young Master away, he returned to the inner room and heard Cao Xiwan say to Feng Xiaochu: "Although this one is good-looking, the second wife is looking forward to her children getting married. She wishes she could let the Sixth Young Master become the princess."
So, if this one doesn’t work, let’s look at the next one.”
Was she talking to herself entirely? Liu Ruhai was thinking, and suddenly saw Feng Xiaochu turning his eyes and looking at him.
Cao Xiwan turned around in surprise: "She recognized you!" and saluted politely, "She asked me to help you thank you. Thanks to your superb medical skills."
"...How can you tell the difference?"
"Feel."
Liu Ruhai felt that he had been fooled by her. How could she understand and feel better than him about the puppet?
"I don't quite understand. Mr. Hou deliberately hid it from me before." She admitted sadly, turned around, and started talking to Feng Xiaochu again, "You see, you still need to be well-matched when it comes to marriage. You have to save money by yourself.
It would be nice to have a small fortune. Do you want to be my companion? I will give you a monthly salary. If you stay with me for more than ten years, I will take care of your old age. Usually you lead horses for me, and in fights, I hurt your back.
Follow me and run away. As long as I have a bite, you can't live without a bite. I am a very easy-to-talk person."
She started recruiting now. Does Feng Xiaochu understand? Liu Ruhai couldn't laugh or cry. With Nan Kanghou's temper, it would be strange if he didn't kill her after knowing this.
