Three families hire each other, the mistress of the marquisate accidentally offends the treacherous

Wutong Courtyard.

The years are quiet.

Jiang Qingyue sat in front of the window, listening to the rain, drinking tea, and playing chess with himself.

Lu Huan came over and reported in a low voice:

"Madam, the prince frightened his horse on his way back home and fainted."

"Oh."

Jiang Qingyue raised her head: "Is it serious?"

"It's hard to say. I heard he was covered in blood. It doesn't look good."

"Yeah." Jiang Qingyue took a sip of tea slowly, without any sign of anxiety.

"Ma'am, would you like to go and have a look?"

"No rush, just wait."

"Yes."

Jiang Qingyue put down the teacup, picked up the chess piece, and just as she placed a move, Bai Wei came back.

As soon as Bai Wei entered the room, she told everyone what happened at Miaowenyuan, and her tone was excited when she talked about Chu Wan'er's fate.

"Madam, you didn't see it. Aunt Chu was soaked in the rain for half a day. She looked like a chicken soup. She was in such a miserable state.

“When I returned to the house, I had fainted and it looked like I had caught a cold and had a fever.

"Madam is so kind that she even asked me to clean the room and make the bed for her."

Jiang Qingyue interrupted her and asked about Chu Wan'er's situation in detail.

He asked, "Have you called a doctor?"

Bai Wei shook her head: "When I came out, it was not there yet. A nanny fed me a bowl of ginger soup."

Jiang Qingyue nodded, then stood up and said to Bai Wei:

"Let's go, let's go take a look ahead."

"Yes."

Then he instructed Lu Huan, "Watch the Wutong Courtyard carefully. If anyone comes, just tell them I'm not here."

"Yes." Lu Huan initially thought that the lady didn't go because she was waiting for a message from the front, but now she realized that she was waiting for Bai Wei to come back and hear the news from Miaowenyuan.

Zi Su was left behind and was taken care of by Lu Huan to get familiar with Wutong Courtyard.

Jiang Qingyue took Bai Wei out of Wutong Courtyard and went to Shuming Courtyard where the prince lived.

When they passed by a deserted place, Jiang Qingyue called Bai Wei to her side and whispered the news that Xue Feimu was injured.

Bai Wei was so shocked and frightened after hearing this that she was speechless.

Just now at Miaowenyuan, she only heard that the prince had returned, but she didn't expect such a thing to happen.

I originally thought that the prince didn't come because he was also dissatisfied with Aunt Chu's behavior, but I didn't expect it to be like this.

"Madam, is the prince seriously injured?"

Jiang Qingyue saw her concern, remained calm and sighed.

"I don't know yet. I just heard what the maid said. I'll have to wait and see the details when I get there."

"Yes."

"Now Aunt Chu is also sick, and the prince is injured. Because of Aunt Chu, the prince doesn't like me, and I'm afraid he doesn't want to see me either. If you are smart today, I will order you to stay and take care of the prince. You seize the opportunity."

Hearing this, Bai Wei was pleasantly surprised and was about to kneel down and kowtow to Jiang Qingyue, but was held back by Jiang Qingyue.

"Hurry up and get up. It's not good to be seen by others. You treated me sincerely in the past, so I will naturally help you now. You know my character. I will be kind to anyone who treats me well, but if someone treats me badly, I will pay them back tenfold or a hundredfold."

Bai Wei was so moved that she almost cried, "Thank you, Madam. I will definitely remember your kindness. Even if I win the favor of the prince one day, I will still be your servant."

Jiang Qingyue smiled and said, "That's not necessary. Just don't hurt me in the future."

Bai Wei's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly expressed her loyalty:

"Madam, rest assured. I will never do that. If I have any intention of harming you, I will be struck by lightning and die a miserable death."

"Don't say such things." Jiang Qingyue waited for her to finish speaking and pulled her hand down.

"Let's go, the old lady may have arrived."

"Yes." The two continued to move forward, with Bai Wei following half a step behind.

On the way back, Jiang Qingyue instructed Bai Wei on some things. Bai Wei listened carefully, wrote them down one by one, and treated Jiang Qingyue's words as if they were God.

Soon, they arrived at Shumingyuan.

The yard was brightly lit, and servants were coming in and out, making it very noisy.

The old lady was sitting in the outer room, looking anxiously at the doctor in the inner room, her expression looking very unhappy.

The eldest wife was crying uncontrollably. If you didn't know, you would have thought Xue Feimu was dead.

Jiang Qingyue walked to the door, covered her mouth and nose with a handkerchief, went into the house, pretended to cry, and walked forward quickly:

"Madam, how is the prince? Qingyue came here immediately after hearing the news, and she was very worried."

The old lady felt even worse when she heard the sob in Jiang Qingyue's voice.

If anything happened to Xue Feimu, it would be a disaster for the Marquis' Mansion.

At this moment, the doctor came out, and the old lady and Jiang Qingyue immediately went to greet him:

"Doctor, what's wrong?"

"Don't worry, old lady and young lady, the prince is not in danger of his life."

Hearing this, the old lady breathed a sigh of relief.

"Amitabha, that's good, that's good."

"Where are you injured? Is it serious?"

"The leg is injured, the bones are dislocated, it looks a bit serious."

"Will that cause any root of disease?"

Speaking of this, the doctor hesitated: "I can't be completely sure now, but based on experience, as long as you take good care of yourself, there shouldn't be any problems later."

The doctor said this cleverly. If the injury heals, it is due to his diagnosis and treatment. If it doesn't, it is because he didn't take good care of the patient during recuperation.

It takes a hundred days to heal a broken bone. Who knows what will happen during such a long period of rest?

"That's good. Just tell me what herbs you need."

"Okay, okay, I'll go get the prescription right away."

"Doctor, may we go in and take a look now?"

"Wait a little longer until everything inside is cleaned up."

"Yes."

Jiang Qingyue made way and looked towards the inner room. She saw the maids carrying basins of blood. Her brows were tightly knitted, with a handkerchief under her eyes, looking sad and distressed.

In fact, it was because the smell of blood was too strong that she disliked it.

Sun was still crying nearby. The old lady looked at her with disgust, thinking that she always cried whenever something happened.

Fortunately, he just needed to rest for a few months. If he really died, this Sun family would be of no use to him.

Looking at Jiang Qingyue again, she looked towards the inner room with a worried look on her face, not saying a word.

The old lady glanced behind her and asked:

"Why didn't Chu come?"

Jiang Qingyue pretended not to hear this and covered her face with her handkerchief pretending to cry.

A maidservant below immediately responded: "Should I go and pass the message?"

But before anyone could leave, Agate came into the room and looked at everyone in the room, feeling very flustered.

"This servant greets the old lady, the eldest lady, and the young lady."

After Manju finished speaking, Li Mama whispered in the old lady's ear:

"This is the maidservant serving Mrs. Chu."

The old lady looked unfriendly: "What are you doing here? Where is Chu?"

When asked this question, Agate was frightened. She raised her head slightly and looked at Jiang Qingyue. Seeing that Jiang Qingyue didn't even look at her and had no intention of paying attention to her, she quickly glanced at the old lady.

Then he gritted his teeth, knelt down in front of Jiang Qingyue, kowtowed, and said:

"Madam, Madam Chu is very ill. Can I go and get a doctor?"

Just before she came here, she went to Wutong Courtyard first.

In this matter, as long as the young lady gives her nod, no matter what happens to Aunt Chu in the future, the young lady will be responsible for it. It has nothing to do with them, and there is no need to trouble the old lady.

But when she got there, she heard that the young lady was not at home, so she had no choice but to come to Shumingyuan.

The old lady was also here, and she couldn't go past her, so she asked both of them, but she knelt down in front of the young lady.

The old lady was about to curse, but when she thought of the fact that Chu was liked by Xue Feimu, she held back and looked at Jiang Qingyue.

Jiang Qingyue had nowhere to hide, so she said directly:

"Madam, please make the decision here. Because of Aunt Chu, the prince and I have already had a grudge. I will not ask about Aunt Chu's affairs. Otherwise, I am afraid that I will not be able to be a couple with the prince."

The old lady didn't expect Jiang Qingyue to speak so bluntly, and she had no room to refuse.

Jiang Qingyue was telling the truth. If she still asked Jiang Qingyue to do something under such circumstances, it would mean that she didn't want the couple to be happy.

Jiang Qingyue's words caught her off guard.

The old lady was angry, but she couldn't vent it on Jiang Qingyue.

She looked at Agate and frowned:

"Why did you get sick when you were fine?"

Agate trembled with fear when she heard the old lady's impatient tone, "Auntie got caught in the rain."

"Aren't you from a military family? Why are you so desperate after getting caught in the rain? Just drink some ginger soup and take two doses of medicine. Don't you see there are so many things going on here? Why are you still causing trouble?"

The old lady didn't know what happened in Miaowen Court. She just thought that Chu Wan'er accidentally got caught in the rain and was making trouble here.

She is not Xue Feimu, so she will not feel sorry for her. When she thought that Xue Feimu was like this, Chu Wan'er was still making trouble, she couldn't stand it at all.

He became more and more excited and louder as he spoke, and at the end he just kicked the person out.

Agate had a bad start. Seeing that the old lady was angry, he was shocked and scared. He did not dare to stop and quickly crawled out of Shumingyuan.

The old lady was angry and was about to scold Jiang Qingyue when the medicine boy came out:

"The prince's wound has been treated with medicine and healed. Old Madam, First Madam, and Young Madam, you may go in and see the prince."

After hearing this, the old lady didn't care about the blame anymore and immediately went into the inner room in two steps.

Jiang Qingyue also followed. Sun, who was behind, was still crying and gasping for breath. After being reminded by the nanny next to her, she stood up, wiped her tears, and staggered into the house.

The smell of blood in the room became stronger. Jiang Qingyue pretended to be sad and raised her handkerchief to cover her mouth and nose.

At this time, Xue Feimu was still unconscious, his face was pale, and his legs were wrapped in layer upon layer of wraps. When the eldest wife saw this scene, she burst into tears again.

The old lady felt upset when she heard this.

"Okay, stop howling."

Sun met the old lady's stern gaze and stopped talking in fear.

The old lady sat down in front of the bed, looked at Xue Feimu, wiped her tears, and called out "son" and "grandson" several times. When she saw that Xue Feimu did not respond, she asked the doctor worriedly. She was relieved when she heard the doctor say that he just fell asleep.

The old lady sat for a while, and Jiang Qingyue waited for an opportunity to speak:

"Madam, it's late. Go back to sleep first. Qingyue is here. You can rest assured."

The old lady was old and was already sleepy at this time. She had been making so much noise tonight and could not hold on any longer.

He looked at Xue Feimu and said, "Well, thank you for your hard work."

"You are too kind, old lady. This is what Qingyue should do. It is not hard."

Then she turned to Sun and said, "Mother, go back and have a rest too."

Sun burst into tears again: "No, I have to stay here to watch over Mu'er. I won't feel at ease unless I see him wake up."

"Mother, you should go back first. It will be good if someone stays by your side while the prince is asleep. If he wakes up and sees mother crying, I'm afraid he will feel bad."

"Mother, have a good rest. When the prince wakes up, Qingyue will send someone to pass the message."

Sun refused without even thinking about it, but the old lady spoke directly:

"Go back if you're told to. You can't help much here. You just cry. Even good people are ruined by your crying."

The old lady disliked everything about Sun.

Sun didn't dare to disobey and had to agree.

The old lady went to look at Xue Feimu again, and after coming out, she instructed Jiang Qingyue on many things before leaving with Sun.

Shumingyuan suddenly became quiet.

Jiang Qingyue called Bai Wei and saw Bai Wei looking at her nervously.

She nodded, indicating that she was at ease, sat outside and drank a cup of tea, asked the medicine boy some questions, and then went into the inner room.

After he went in, he came out crying after a while.

Bai Wei hurried forward and asked, "Madam, what's wrong?"

Jiang Qingyue wiped the tears from her face and said, "Go and take care of the prince. He said he doesn't want to see me, and I can't let him get angry for fear of hurting himself. I'll leave this place to you tonight."

Bai Wei responded blankly with a yes, and then she saw the lady leaving a few people for her to command, and then she took the remaining two maids out of the house.

Bai Wei was a little puzzled by the lady's attitude, but when she thought of the prince in the inner room, she stopped thinking about anything else and went into the house with the water.

I have already made up my mind that I will perform well tonight and try to catch the prince's eye this time.

It's late outside.

Jiang Qingyue left Shumingyuan, and the sadness on her face disappeared instantly.

She walked all the way back to Wutong Courtyard without stopping.

Wutong Courtyard was quiet. There was someone guarding the door. When he saw Jiang Qingyue returning to the courtyard, he hurried to greet her with a lantern in hand.

After entering the yard, Lu Huan came forward and the maids retreated.

"Ma'am, are you cold?"

"It's okay. Prepare hot water for a bath." She didn't know if it was her illusion or if she was too repulsive to Xue Feimu. After walking for so long since leaving Shumingyuan, she still felt as if there was a faint smell of blood on her body.

It makes people feel uncomfortable all over.

"Yes, everything is ready."

In the shower room, Jiang Qingyue washed herself inside and out and felt much more comfortable.

After drying her hair, she entered the room through another door of the bathroom.

"what……"

Just as Jiang Qingyue took a step forward, her feet were empty and she was picked up by someone around the waist.

Lu Huan ran over and saw Dong Lingyan’s face full of shock. She retreated hesitantly, closed the door, and went to guard the front.

The main light in the room was blown out, leaving only a small dim light.

The sound of the wind swirled away from the eaves...

Half an hour later, the room became quiet.

In the tent, Jiang Qingyue was sweating profusely and met Dong Lingyan's gaze.

His face was half hidden in the light and shadow, and the light reflected his handsome profile, which looked satisfied.

He was nothing like the cold and stern look that others described him as; instead, he looked somewhat gentle and scholarly.

"You are not allowed to take care of Xue Feimu."

His tone was unquestionable.

"Ah."

"If I hadn't returned last night, what would the general have done?"

"Then I don't mind going to see Master Xue. I'll go to Master Xue's room to accompany you."

Xue Feimu pronounced the word "accompany" clearly, and Jiang Qingyue's face turned red as the scene appeared in her mind.

Dong Lingyan is capable of doing that kind of thing.
