Yun curled her lips and smiled slightly, and replied: "I know. These brother and sister are very quick."
I don't know if she was answering Shihua or Liuxiang. She hesitated for a moment, then ordered, "Go call Cuizhi over."
"Yes, ma'am." Liuxiang responded and turned to look for Cuizhi.
After a while, Cuizhi came back with a paper bag in her hand. Yun asked, "Have you finished everything I asked you to do?"
Cuizhi nodded and said, "Madam, everything is settled. As soon as we get back home, Aunt Zhao will take care of it. It's settled."
"Yes." Yun responded, "Let's get started!"
Liu Bi prepared a large basin of cold water in the bathroom. She was a little worried, "Madam, there's no need to do this. Your body..."
"It's okay. I have my own ideas." Yun's voice remained gentle, but his eyes were very determined.
The cold handkerchief wiped across the still delicate skin, and big goose bumps immediately appeared on the smooth skin.
The bone-chilling cold seeped into his skin, and Yun's body trembled slightly unconsciously.
She gritted her teeth and persisted. After a while, her face began to flush unnaturally, and her head began to feel dizzy and painful...
Hoo, it’s done!
"Madam, Madam Wu from Rongxi Hall is here."
Cuizhi came into the room to report. Yun, who was lying on the bed, raised her hand and motioned Cuizhi to invite the person in.
"Madam Wu, I have already said that Madam is ill and cannot get out of bed..."
As Cuizhi spoke, she brought in a middle-aged woman who was in her forties.
She was thin and had no flesh on her face, which made her eyes look too big and her mouth sharp. She looked smart, eloquent, and not someone who would easily get the better of others.
Madam Wu bowed halfway to Yun and saluted, "This old servant greets Madam. I am following the old lady's order to invite Madam to Rongxi Hall to discuss important matters."
She said she was respectful, but she secretly glanced at Yun. She saw Yun lying on the bed with her clothes on, wearing a velvet windproof brace with fur on her head. Her face was pale, but her cheeks were red. She knew that she was indeed sick.
With the help of Liuxiang, Yun struggled to half sit up. Liubi quickly put a very thick and soft cushion behind her. Yun leaned on the cushion, panting twice, and then said.
"Hello, Madam Wu. Madam Wu, as you can see, I caught a cold the other day, and because of the theft, I was very anxious and upset, so I can't go to the old lady's place."
"Uh, this... Madam, I am just a messenger. There is an urgent matter on the old lady's side, and I need to discuss it with you. Madam, please... please don't make things difficult for a servant like me..." Madam Wu was unwilling to give up and said in a cowardly manner.
"You old man, are you blind or have no eyes? Don't you see how seriously ill the young lady is? There is nothing to do in the mansion, so why are you rushing to let a patient take care of the household chores?"
Nanny Zhao happened to come in from outside and witnessed everything.
She usually despised the people in Rongxi Hall who took advantage of their age and schemed against Yun. She was brought here by Yun, not a child born in the Marquis's Mansion, and she would not tolerate these old people who took advantage of their power.
"You, you, this is the old lady's order. In the Marquis's Mansion, the old lady is the most honorable. The madam is the daughter-in-law. In this world, how can a daughter-in-law not respect her mother-in-law..."
"Okay, Aunt Wu, go back and tell the old lady first. I'll change my clothes and come over."
Yun used her eyes to stop Nanny Zhao, who was about to lose her temper, and agreed.
"Miss, your body..." Madam Zhao was a little unwilling.
"It's okay, it's just a minor illness. Besides, there is a palace doctor." Yun patiently comforted the wet nurse.
Seeing that she could not persuade him, Madam Zhao glared at Madam Wu fiercely. Madam Wu saw this and curled her lips provocatively, "Yes, then I will go back."
But she thought to herself: Humph, why are you acting like a lady? In the marquis's mansion, the old lady is the boss.
Nanny Wu walked away with a proud look on her face. Everyone quickly surrounded Yun and asked, "Madam, how is it?"
Yun waved her hand to indicate that it was okay. Cuizhi brought a bowl of steaming, black medicine and said, "Madam, the medicine is here. Drink it quickly."
Yun asked Madam Zhao to get this bowl of medicine from outside. It could control Yun's cold and prevent it from getting worse, but on the surface, she still looked as if she was seriously ill.
Rongxi Hall.
Old Mrs. Xiahou, wearing a dark red brocade robe with auspicious cloud patterns, sat calmly on the rosewood couch with half-closed eyes. Her plump, slightly plump fingers were casually dialing a string of red sandalwood Buddhist beads in her hand.
The bracelet was mellow and had a rounded patina, which showed that it had been played with for a long time. As the beads rolled, they shone with a dark purple glow and exuded a faint fragrance, which was obviously very valuable.
This bracelet was given to Yun after she entered the mansion. As old lady Xiahou was a devout Buddhist, she spared no expense and went through many twists and turns to get it for her.
It is said that it was blessed by a famous master, and it is the kind that you may not be able to obtain even if you have money.
"Mother, Yunniang said that she is sick. Look at this matter..."
Xiahou Wenyuan pounded his hands anxiously, his brows furrowed, and it was obvious that the task at hand was not easy to handle.
Indeed, as soon as he left the yamen, he was blocked back to the place where his beauty was hidden in Qingzhi Lane.
As soon as Xiahou Zi'an saw him, he reported to him with a sad face how Lu Meimei had failed to show off and was instead taken to Jingzhao Yin for conviction and beaten in public. He also handed him a list of Yun's stolen dowry.
Holding the thin booklet in his hand, Xiahou Wenyuan felt as if it weighed a thousand pounds. He glanced at it briefly, and his mind was full of thoughts, ready to explode.
Most of the jewelry and head ornaments could still be found, but the precious fabrics and gold and silver ingots had all been used up. How could they be found to fill the hole?
Oh, it’s true. It feels good for a while, but now I have to pay back the debt as heavy as a bucket.
He always coaxed Yun well and she trusted him very much.
He had never thought that one day, Yun would ask about these things and even report them to Jingzhao Yin.
He had kept a mistress behind Yun's back, and he couldn't (too shameless) come forward to beg Yun to ask Lu Meimei to forgive this debt.
Not only him, but also Zi'an, cannot recognize the thief as his mother in public at this time.
Zi'an is currently the most dazzling young talent in the entire capital. In the future he will win the top three places in the imperial examination and bring honor to the Marquis' Mansion.
Moreover, he and the eldest daughter of the Liu family were about to get married. All he had to do was wait for her to break off her engagement with that good-for-nothing, and then he could marry into the Liu family openly.
Minister Liu has been very popular in recent years and is greatly favored by the emperor.
Rumor has it that the emperor has chosen him as the chief examiner for the next spring exam. If Zi'an can get the help of the Jiang family, it will be a sure thing for him to win the first place in the imperial examination.
Thinking of Liu Yunrong, the eldest daughter of the Liu family, Xiahou Wenyuan's heart suddenly tightened and he groaned inwardly.
More than a month ago, after Zi'an's repeated efforts, Liu Yunrong finally agreed to break off the engagement with that good-for-nothing and marry Zi'an.
In order to arrange the marriage as soon as possible, he racked his brains and secretly stole the key to Yun's private vault. He took out a lot of head jewelry and valuable ornaments from the vault and secretly sent them to the Liu family as a betrothal gift.
