Raiders of the Duke and Duchess

Shen Luoxin naturally agreed happily and said with a smile, "That's for the best...it will be a blessing. You don't know, my tongue has been numb from the medicine I drank these past few days. I'm probably sick and confused, so I have to give it to myself." It’s really not very smart to prescribe medicine that is bitter and astringent.”

Ziqiu laughed, laughing at Miss Shen for being silly. She probably had laughed enough, so she persuaded without sincerity, "Good medicine tastes bitter... They say doctors don't heal themselves, but Miss Shen can prescribe medicine for herself." Disease, it can be seen that the medical skills are good and serious, don’t you think so, girl?”

Shen Luoxin pulled the corner of his mouth and sneered at her "haha". Ziqiu finally "discovered it" and asked seriously, "So, is Miss Shen's typhoid fever cured now?"

Shen Luoxin nodded and said he felt much better, and then said, "So I will stay here today, eat something delicious, and treat myself. If you are not satisfied with the meal, I will take it from you!" Pretending to be proud With an arrogant look, Zi Qiu smiled and patted his chest, "I understand, I will try my best to satisfy the eldest daughter of the Shen family!"

Ji Wuyan watched them making trouble and said with a smile, "Her typhoid fever is just right. You can make something lighter...don't eat too much and make your stomach upset again."

"Okay!" Ziqiu agreed earnestly and said, "How about I make a medicinal meal for you? I just learned it. Grandma Wang taught it according to the girl's taste. She said she likes light food. I just asked you to go there on the way back. After going to the big kitchen, the cook said that Miss Shen had been eating in her courtyard for the past two days, so she probably didn't eat much, right? It doesn't taste greasy anymore, so it would be best to eat some medicinal food to nourish her stomach. .”

"Okay. As long as it's made by Miss Ziqiu, I like to eat it." Shen Luoxin patted her full belly and nuzzled at Ji Wuyan, "I am much easier to take care of than your girl. I heard that you This girl’s mouth is very selective, right?”

Zi Qiu looked at Ji Wuyan, then at Shen Luoxin, and snickered, "Where did Miss Shen hear this? My girl is very easy to take care of!" He vowed with firm eyes.

"Mother Wang said it." Shen Luoxin told her everything. "Mother Wang also said that about half of the white hair on her head was to come up with new dishes for your girl."

Ziqiu, who just now had firm eyes and vowed, "My girl is very easy to take care of," smiled, nodded furtively, and mouthed softly, "Yes, yes, yes..."

Ji Wuyan folded her arms and leaned on the back of the chair with a helpless smile, but she allowed the two of them to detail how difficult she was to serve in front of her without any rebuttal.

After winter, the stove was lit in the house. The smoke from the silver bone charcoal was light and the sound was small when it burned. There was only an occasional "crackling" sound, which was buried in the laughter and joy. The three people in the house were enjoying themselves happily, and there was no distinction between master and servant. The maid laughed and counted on her fingers how picky her master was and how difficult it was to serve him. Miss Shen, who was staying as a guest, put her hands on her hands and laughed and said, "This turtle "It's true that temperament is hereditary" and so on, but the master just leaned back in his chair, listened with a smile, indulged, and was completely lifeless.

Outside the house, under the steps, in the biting cold wind, Bai Xue was waiting there alone, waiting for a summons that was destined to never come.

It's obviously just a difference between the inside and outside of the door, but it's like a chasm between them.

In fact, until Ziqiu came back, she had vaguely felt that although the two girls Shen and Ji were known to be good friends, it was only on the surface after all. Isn't that what the daughters of the aristocratic families were like? When you meet someone who is like "sister, sister", hello, me, hello, everyone, but behind the scenes, you don't want others to be even half better than you. Shen Luoxin was living here as a guest. If Ji Wuyan really regarded her as her sister, how could he send a little maid like himself to take care of her? Is it really just her fault that no one saw that Shen Luoxin was sick? There are so many slaves in this world who act based on their master’s eyes! As for Shen Luoxin...if she really regarded Ji Wuyan as her sister, she wouldn't have said those weird words just now, right?
But... until this moment, Bai Xue was suddenly unsure.

They seem...to have a really good relationship. If this is the case, then he may have offended not only Shen Luoxin, but also the serious master as well.

Bai Xue twisted the handkerchief in her hand, biting her lip and standing in the cold wind of winter, feeling as if the wind was leaking all over her body, and she was cold.

Inside the room, Zi Qiu saw Shen Luoxin put down his bowl and chopsticks to show that he was full, and then he called out, "Hey, the guy standing outside..."

Bai Xue raised her eyes, and the light in her eyes gradually began to shine. Then she heard Ji Wuyan, who could not tell the difference between happiness and anger, reminded him quietly, "Baixue."

Ziqiu suddenly realized, "Oh, yes, Bai Xue! It's not obvious to the eyes. The girls have all used up their breakfast. What are you doing there? Don't you know how to come in and clean up? Miss Shen is too talkative, and there are no excuses for everything on weekdays." You know that if you are so ignorant of the rules, you will have to concentrate on your errands in our girls' courtyard from now on?"

Bai Xue climbed up the steps, bent down outside the door, and whispered yes, and then entered the house. She lowered her eyebrows and silently put away the dishes, clenching her back teeth where no one could see her.

"Oh, by the way!" Ziqiu said suddenly, "Didn't I just go to Master Chu's place? He happened to be at home today, so I told him about Bai Xue... Girl, what do you think the master said?"

There was a slight pause in the words, and his eyes moved to Bai Xue. As expected, he saw the other person's hands shaking the dishes, and the plates hit the porcelain bowl, making a slight and crisp sound. At that moment of negligence, Bai Xue quickly returned to normal, but her cleaning movements were obviously much slower, obviously she was wasting her time waiting for an answer.

Ji Wuyan naturally noticed it, glanced at Ziqiu who was trying to be mysterious, and asked in cooperation, "What did brother say?"

Ziqiu grinned, coughed, smiled, imitated Shangguan Chu's expressionless face, and lowered his voice, "Our young master said, this Bai Xue... he doesn't know, and doesn't want to know. But It's just a veil, not worth much money. If she likes it, it can be given to her. He has no reason to go back and use it. The young master also said, how to treat and deal with people he doesn't even know. It's all up to the girl to make the decision. She just likes to take other people's hats. She really doesn't have any rules and should be taught a lesson."

After saying that, he grinned and said, "That's all the young master said. Oh, by the way, the young master also said that his reputation has long been ruined, so girls don't have to worry about what they do."

Bai Xue's face turned pale, her hands loosened, and her chopsticks fell to the ground.
