Yunzhu already knew Xingchen's general condition from Nanzhu, and knew that he was paralyzed and unable to move.

He must be thirsty and want to drink water. Thinking of the scene when she held Mr. Tong's head and moved him when he first arrived, Yunzhu hesitated, not knowing whether she should go in to help.

At this moment, she saw the thin and slender hand, which was weakly placed down, and then raised again after a moment.

Leave.

When she saw the hand hanging down again, Yunzhu gritted her teeth and walked in.

He reached out and took the water cup, and handed it to the other hand; "Drink it."

"Thank you, my young wife." Xingchen recognized that this was the young lady who had helped him before but was scared away by him, and thanked her with a smile.

After taking the cup of water, because he couldn't move, he carefully moved it to his mouth, for fear that a sudden movement would spill the water on the bed.

Yunzhu, who had already moved one step away and was waiting for him to finish drinking, helped put the cup back to its original place. Looking at Xingchen's cautious movements, she felt a pang in her heart and stepped forward as if possessed by a ghost. She took the cup with one hand, and with the other hand supported his neck to help him lift his upper body, then handed the cup to his mouth.

Xingchen knew why the young lady had been scared away before, so he didn't want to embarrass her again. At the same time, he was also afraid of being seen and misunderstood by others. However, if he struggled and refused, he was afraid of hurting her kindness.

Xingchen also gritted his teeth, lowered his head and finally drank the water.

Listening to him gulping down the water, Yunzhu couldn't help but say, "Young Master, whistle slower, slower."

After drinking most of the cup of water, Yunzhu laid the person down, put the cup back and was about to walk out.

Nanzhu and Tuzi came in, one carrying a bottle of iodine medicine and the other holding two buckets of steaming water that also smelled of herbs.

"I, I came to find you, and saw Master Tong wanted to drink water, so I got him some water." Yunzhu explained nervously.

Listening to her explanation of not receiving her, Xingchen felt very guilty. It was all his fault. He could have just endured the thirst. It wouldn't kill him, but he made the young lady so panic.

What would happen if this matter got to her husband's family?

"Thank you, Yunzhu. It's also our fault that we were careless and went to get medicine for Master Tong together, and didn't leave anyone here." Nanzhu also felt Yunzhu's nervousness, but didn't dare to say it openly. No one here would slander you or anything.

"I just happened to meet you. It's just a small favor, there's no need to thank me. Miss Nanzhu, you go ahead and do your work. I'll go back to the room and wait for you." After saying that, Yunzhu walked out. Before leaving, she glanced at the person on the bed and saw his guilty look.

Yunzhu's heart skipped a beat and she hurriedly quickened her pace to leave.

I went back into the house, covered my chest and said to myself, I haven't done anything wrong, why should I do this.

Thinking of this, she suddenly felt much better. She picked up the embroidery string and started embroidering. After about half an hour, Nanzhu came back. When she saw her embroidering, she stepped forward and snatched her clothes away. "Madam said that the light is not good at night, and embroidery hurts your eyes."

"Okay, I'll remember that. I won't embroider at night anymore." Yunzhu was very happy to be cared for.

After Nanzhu finished washing up, Yunzhu went to bed. They stayed in one room with two beds facing each other.

"Nanzhu, tell me, after my problem is solved, how should I thank Madam? It seems that Madam has no shortage of money." Yunzhu couldn't sleep and chatted with Nanzhu.

"My wife helps people not for the sake of gratitude. She once said that as long as the people she helped live well in the future, and if they meet someone who also needs help, they will help according to their ability, and that will be the best reward for her." Nanzhu always bows to her wife when she talks about her.

"I am so lucky to have met you, Madam." Yunzhu said from the bottom of her heart.

Nanzhu smiled; "Who isn't?"

"Nanzhu, can you help me find something to do starting tomorrow?" Yunzhu turned sideways and discussed with Nanshen and Nanzhu.

"Okay, actually I'm worried about this too. This time I went out with a maid. If Madam arranges me to do other things, I won't be able to serve Madam. It's a good opportunity that you can help me now." Nanzhu agreed readily.

There will definitely be no problem if the lady chooses the right person, so Nanzhu is very relieved.

After all, there are some things that men are not suitable to do.

"By the way, Yunzhu, when I went to get the medicine soup just now, I heard them say that they would have barbecue in two days. You probably haven't eaten it, it's delicious." Nanzhu also turned sideways and said to Yunzhu excitedly.

"Barbecue?" Yunzhu had never heard of it. "Yes, it's lamb, beef, potato chips, chicken wings, whatever.

Put the food you want to eat on bamboo sticks, grill it over charcoal, sprinkle it with seasoning and you can eat it." Nanzhu counted on her fingers and found that ten fingers were not enough.

"Does everyone have something to eat?" Yunzhu asked curiously.

"Yes, my wife said that, especially when eating barbecue, it creates a better atmosphere when there are more people around. Yunzhu, you don't know that barbecue is eaten while it is being grilled. The taste will be worse if it gets cold, so we all rush to eat it as soon as it is served, and it is always scalding hot." When she said this, Nanzhu suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

"Yunzhu, don't laugh at me. When you follow us for a long time, you will become like this." Nanzhu emphasized again.

She remembered that Beizhu and the others had talked about this matter, saying that no matter how dignified and virtuous a woman was, she would no longer be dignified and virtuous after living with the lady for a long time.

Even Nanzhu herself didn't know when she started to become a complete foodie.

Yunzhu listened with a smile, longing to be like Nanzhu and the others, longing to truly become a part of them.

Because of this conversation with Nanzhu, Yunzhu slept soundly that night and had a dream. She dreamed that the lady took her away and left this sad place.

The next morning, Yunzhu washed up, had breakfast with Nanzhu, then followed Nanzhu out of the room and followed her.

When Nanzhu went to wash the clothes of the lady and the two, she helped wash and dried them. When Nanzhu went into Xingchen's room to clean, she followed. She had never done such rough work before, but she tried hard to learn, and she didn't feel wronged at all. She helped Nanzhu go to the kitchen to bring medicine to Xingchen, and helped wash vegetables when she saw the kitchen was busy. When she was free, she embroidered the uppers of shoes, or looked at the door of the inn from the front window. The lady told her

However, she had arranged for someone to look for her dowry maid Xiaoyi, and she was looking forward to Xiaoyi coming in through that door every day.

There was another thing that made her a little nervous. The lady and her husband sent someone to the Fu family to give them three days to sign the divorce agreement and prepare her dowry, and also to pay her more than 16,000 taels of silver as compensation.

She had never dared to think about divorce at first, let alone the compensation of more than ten thousand taels of silver.

As for the dowry, she had already made up her mind to die, so why would she care about it anymore?

But now it's different, it's hers, why should she sell it cheaply?

The three-day deadline is coming tomorrow. Will the Fu family sign and agree?
