The maids worked together to pull her ashore.

All the women in the family were terrified.

The lady scolded, "Zhuzhu, you are freezing, are you crazy? That's your second sister, how could you push her into the water?"

The Duke's wife scolded: "Zhuzhu, apologize to your second sister!"

She looked anxious and kept winking at her daughter.

Finish it as soon as possible following the steps given by the lady, and go back to the house to warm up.

What if the two girls fell into the water and caught a cold?

If you push your cousin into the water and the news gets out, will you still have a good reputation as a girl?

Shi Yao felt really cold, and two strings of hot tears fell unhindered.

The maids and servants hurriedly took off her wet coat. Banxia put her own ermine coat on her and hugged her, crying miserably: "Miss, Miss..."

The master and the servant cried together, like two shivering punching bags.

Shi Mingzhu saw this scene in front of her, which overlapped with the scene in her previous life when Shi Yao framed her.

It was the same in her previous life. Shi Yao pushed her into the water and she was half drowned. However, Shi Yao hugged her maid and cried, as if she was so frightened that she couldn't speak.

She didn't give Shi Yao away out of kindness, thinking she did it unintentionally and was afraid that she would be punished.

She was bedridden for a whole month, and during this month, Shi Yao went out to visit friends with her grandmother, her mother, and her third aunt, shining brilliantly and completely overshadowing her as the legitimate daughter of the Duke's Mansion.

It was also during that time that Shi Yao and the fourth prince Zhou Shao had an affair, which led to her tragic life and the death of the entire Duke's Mansion...

Regardless of the wrong season, this time she was no longer foolish enough to play the role of a good person. Shi Mingzhu screamed and cried, "Shi Yao deserves it! She pushed me into the water! Grandmother, mother, throw Shi Yao into the water quickly. She was jealous of me and framed me. She deserves to die. She deserves to be drowned, frozen to death, or cut into pieces..."

Snapped!

The Duke's wife, unable to bear it any longer, slapped her and said sternly, "Shi Mingzhu, you are so cold that you are confused!"

Shi Mingzhu fell to the ground and fainted.

There was chaos again by the lake. The old lady had no time to care about her illegitimate granddaughter whom she had just met. She cried and called her darling, and repeatedly ordered Shi Mingzhu to be sent back to the yard.

The Duke's wife regretted it so much that her intestines turned green. She didn't care about anything else and chased after him, wiping her tears.

Shi Yao's sisters-in-law naturally followed the lady.

Only the third wife, Rong, stayed behind to clean up the mess. Her tone softened a little: "Second girl, your elder sister was confused. She didn't mean to..."

Before she could finish her words, Shi Yao rolled her eyes and fainted.

She was too lazy to listen to other people's hypocritical comfort.

At this time, the best comfort is to keep her warm and call a doctor, rather than explaining here that Shi Mingzhu did not mean it.

Rong choked back the rest of her words and calmly ordered the maids to carry Shi Yao back to the yard.

The Shi family has many descendants, but they have a lot of land.

The lady-in-waiting had already instructed the wife of the Duke to prepare a yard for Shi Yao.

As her daughter's marriage was approaching, the Duke's wife was afraid that people would say that the Duke's Mansion treated concubines' daughters harshly and favored the legitimate daughter, which would ruin Shi Mingzhu's reputation. So she cleaned up the yard next to Shi Mingzhu and named it Guanju Courtyard.

Guanju Courtyard is only slightly smaller than Shi Mingzhu's Lanpei Courtyard, and the name of the courtyard secretly coincides with Shi Yao's name, which shows the intention of the Duke's wife.

In the courtyard, all necessary daily necessities are available and the kangs are heated.

When Shi Yao came back, her hair was frozen and the inside of her ermine fur coat was also frozen.

He was pretending to be faint, but in the end he was really frozen to the point of being unconscious.

Rong first asked someone to give her a bowl of ginger soup. The maids helped her take a hot bath and wiped her hair. Shi Yao lay on the warm kang and fell into a semi-comatose state.

Banxia ran back and forth from the kang to the door with anxious eyes, crying: "Why hasn't the doctor come yet?"

The maids dared not say a word.

Rong also remained silent.

There is a resident doctor in the Duke's Mansion, but he must focus on Shi Mingzhu first. Only after he has taken good care of Shi Mingzhu will he have time to see Shi Yao.

If you want to invite a doctor from outside, you have to go to the Duke's wife to get a matching card, and then tie up the carriage to go and invite the person. Won't that take time?

Shi Yao listened to the dripping sound from the kang and waited for a full half hour. Only when she saw the doctor coming did she feel relieved and fell into a coma completely.

This fainting lasted for a whole day and a night.

When I opened my eyes, the room was silent and I had no idea where Banxia had gone.

Her throat was dry and her eyes were burning. Shi Yao was about to call for help when she heard a voice complaining in the room:

"I thought serving the young lady was a good job. My mother spent twenty taels of silver and some money to get me into Guanjuyuan. Who knew I was born with bad luck? As soon as I entered the house, I was unlucky for the young lady. As soon as I entered the house, I fell out of favor. As a result, we were not welcomed anywhere in the mansion.

Today I took the prescription and went to find Manager Wang to pick up the medicine. Manager Wang was sarcastic and gave me a very embarrassing speech. I was so embarrassed that I won't go there again. If you want to pick up medicine again, whoever wants to go can go."

Shi Yao turned her head towards the sound and vaguely saw two figures behind the screen in front of the kang.

They should be two maids.

Another maid stretched her head back in panic.

Shi Yao quickly turned her head, closed her eyes, lay down, and pretended to know nothing.

The maid retracted her head and tapped the forehead of the maid who spoke first: "Keep your voice down, don't wake up the second young lady. If we make a scene, neither you nor I will be in trouble! Can you say that here?"

The first maidservant threw herself on the ground and snorted coldly: "So what if she heard it? Can she eat me? The master is disrespectful and makes the maidservant look down upon. Am I saying that it's not a big deal? What kind of girl is she? She lives a less decent life than us maidservants.

People who came back from Jinling said that they lived in a small house with two entrances and six main rooms in total. There were less than five servants, and Aunt Ji had to embroider to supplement the family income.

When Aunt Tang and the others arrived, they didn't know where the second young lady had been fooling around, but she had actually come back from outside in a donkey cart. Donkey cart! Listen to this, it's so funny! In our capital, families who are a little bit better off use horse-drawn carriages or sedan chairs, but she actually rode a donkey cart without a carriage!

It was obvious that the Third Master didn't like them and their daughter, and didn't give them any money privately. No wonder the Third Master came back last night and only went to see the eldest daughter next door, as if the house was on fire. As for the biological daughter inside, he didn't even look at her, didn't even mention her, as if she didn't exist!

Did you count the boxes that were moved in yesterday? There were four in total. The eldest girl made more than four boxes of clothes in a season! And the dress she wore yesterday was so bright and decent. Others may not know, but how could we in Guanju Courtyard not know? Wasn't that what Aunt Tang brought to Jinling from the sewing room of the Duke's Mansion?

Following such a master, we have no prestige, no dignity, and our pockets are jingling. Forget about rewarding us, and we may even have to pay for her!"

Another maid said impatiently, "Stop talking, I don't like it. The young lady's medicine is getting cold, let's go and give her the medicine, don't delay her illness."

"Okay, I won't say anything - bah!" The maid lowered her head, spat fiercely into the medicine bowl, stirred it with a spoon, stood up and said with a smile, "Let's go and feed the medicine to our good girl."
