Dong Gong Mei

Chapter 159
Gu Hansu was so anxious that he was about to vomit blood: "Then when will Your Highness come back?"

"I can't tell. It depends on the progress of the disaster relief. If it is fast, it will be three days, if it is slow, it will be one month."

"..." Gu Hansu completely gave up struggling.

Seeing that he was in a hurry, He Kui kindly said, "If you are in a hurry, I have carrier pigeons here, and I can send a message for you."

What's the use of sending a message?

The prince can't come back.

Gu Hansu leaned back on the chair and thought about it, but decided to follow He Kui's suggestion: "Where is the pigeon?"

When Zhao Xiwei woke up, it was an early morning with little sunlight.

The cold air condenses into a misty layer on the windows, the warm silver frost charcoal is burning in the room, and orange peels are placed on the smoker basket. The sweet and fragrant smell diffuses, making people feel more at ease.

There was still a faint pain in the lower abdomen, Zhao Xi frowned slightly.

Jinxiu came in with the boiled medicine in her hand, and seeing her leaning against the bed, she exclaimed in surprise, "Miss, you're awake! Great, Doctor Gu said, you'll wake up at dawn, and you really did!"

"Doctor Gu?" Zhao Xi was slightly taken aback.

"That's right, it was Doctor Gu from Jishitang, the maidservant and Mother Liu cried for a long time at the entrance of the pharmacy, and he was moved!" Yin Bao came in with hot water and washed Zhao Xiwei's face.

After washing his face and rinsing his mouth, Zhao Xiwei took Jinxiu's hand and slowly drank a bowl of dark medicine.

Still feeling weak, she simply leaned against the bed, slowly recalling what happened yesterday, and clearly remembered that Xu Yunjiao kicked herself, and then she fainted from abdominal pain.

After thinking about it, he still asked, "What did the doctor say?"

"The doctor didn't say anything." Jinxiu relayed Gu Hansu's words to Zhao Xiwei, and said worriedly, "Miss, does your stomach still hurt? I'm afraid it will be even more uncomfortable when the little days come at the end of the month... ..."

Zhao Xi nodded slightly, and said truthfully: "It still hurts, but I can still bear it."

But what made her feel strange was that Xu Yunjiao's kick was not light, but it definitely wouldn't make her fall into the root of the disease.

Why can't I go to the doctor?
It's just that she is really uncomfortable right now, even if she moves a little, the pain in her lower abdomen will still tear her whole body apart.

Under such circumstances, she didn't have the energy to think about other things, she just wanted to rest quietly with her eyes closed.

When Jinxiu saw this, she brought a warm Mrs. Tang over: "Miss, you can stick this on your stomach, it will make you feel better. This is how my servants sometimes use this method when their stomach hurts. Gradually, their stomach will warm up and the pain will ease. gone."

"Okay." Zhao Xiwei obediently let her put Mrs. Tang on her abdomen. The warm temperature came through the small clothes, and the pain really eased.

Her spirit recovered a little bit, she looked at the few maidservants who were busy in the room lightly, and asked softly: "What's the matter with Zhao Chengyu?"

Before Jinxiu could speak, Yinbao replied angrily: "The old lady shielded her! Because of a hairpin, we made a fuss in Rose Garden and injured you, and the old lady didn't say a word to her!"

Zhao Xi smiled slightly.

Jinxiu said: "The old lady also has her difficulties. It is not easy to take charge of the big family, and it is also difficult to level a bowl of water. It is good to put it down gently like this. If it spreads out, it will lose the face of the big family. It also tarnishes the reputation of the ladies."

Sometimes, indifference is the crueler punishment.

The old lady must be extremely disappointed in Zhao Chengyu, right?Or, it was because of the girl's reputation.

After all, the stain of a jealous sister has settled on the body, and it is difficult to wash it off.

Thinking about it this way, the old lady is indeed a clever ancestor of a big family.

Zhao Xiwei thinks he can't do it, at least he can't let his child walk into the abyss step by step.

When a child does something wrong, he should be punished if he should be punished, spanked if he should be beaten, and educated if he should be educated.

The interests of the aristocratic family and the reputation of Miss Qianjin are all illusory labels.

Only by letting children choose the right path and have a happy and stable life is the direction that is really worth striving for.

But this is not her interference, the old lady naturally has the old lady's decision.

Yin Bao was even angrier: "Then what shall we do from now on? If she takes the opportunity to make trouble next time, can we just swallow it?"

"There won't be a next time." Zhao Xiwei said softly, making the two maids startled.

Zhao Xi sat up a little bit upright, saw Zhuzhu cleaning Duobaoge with a feather duster, and called her, "Zhuzhu, come here."

Pearl's back stiffened, she put the feather duster away, and walked over with her head down.

Before Zhao Xiwei could speak, she knelt down in front of the bed with a "plop" and said, "Your servant is guilty, please punish me!"

Yin Bao was full of surprise: "Pearl, you are so good-looking, what crime have you committed?"

Jinxiu quietly retreated aside thoughtfully.

Only Yin Bao still tilted his head and stared at Pearl curiously.

Zhao Xiwei didn't bother to cover up for her, so he said directly: "Tell me, how did you disclose the matter of Rose Garden to Zhao Chengyu."

Pearl shook her body, hurriedly crawled two steps closer to the edge of Zhao Xiwei's bed, tears slowly fell down: "Miss, please forgive me, this servant really didn't mean it!"

As she said that, she touched her head to the ground, kowtowed more than a dozen times without stopping: "Miss, please forgive me, I know I was wrong, I really didn't do it on purpose."

Zhao Xi frowned slightly.

Jinxiu had no choice but to pull her back: "Miss asked you something, you can answer it well, yes, yes, no, no, why bother to humiliate yourself like this? If you really did something wrong, it's useless even if you knock your head off. If you don't If you make a mistake, the lady will naturally forgive you."

Only then did Pearl stop crying, she wiped her eyes with her sleeves, and then she spoke in detail.

"Cuilian and I were maidservants bought together. I was ten years old and she was 11 years old."

Pearl lowered her head, and her voice was a little anxious, "We were divided into the second lady's room from the beginning. The second lady saw that we were about the same age as Miss Yu, so she gave us two to be Miss Yu's playmates. One of us Sleeping in the same bed, eating at the same table, after a long time, we are not sisters but we are as close as sisters."

"Although Cuilian sometimes has a bad mouth and a bit of a temper, she is really nice. When I first came to Zhao's residence, I missed my parents very much, and cried secretly every night. This made the Second Madam and Miss Yu both It’s very annoying, saying that if I cry like this again, I will sell it and don’t want it.”

"At that time, there was a famine in my hometown, and my parents couldn't support me, so I bought it from a rich family. If I sold it again, I don't know if I would survive... I was so scared that I cried all night. It was Cuilian who pleaded for me. She talked with me when she had nothing to do, we are fellow villagers, so we talked about our hometown when we had nothing to do, and slowly I got used to Zhao's house."
