I'm already a concubine, who wants to fight with you?

Chapter 158 Serving Since Childhood
Xiao Shirong did not agree immediately.

There must be something wrong when things are abnormal, and she knows very well that Xie Fei is not so easy to deal with.

Xie Fei took the initiative to do something that others could not deny, so there must be something fishy going on.

But Xiao Shirong couldn't figure out what Xie Fei was up to when he took the initiative to ask to take care of a person with syphilis.

After thinking for a moment, Xiao Shirong said, "Are you volunteering to do this? Do you hope that the master will treat you well after he wakes up?"

Xie Fei said: "I dare not ask for the love of my master, but as a concubine of the Pei family, I cannot share the worries of the eldest lady, nor can I add a child to the Pei family. I am always worried and uneasy. Only in this small matter, if I can serve you a little, I will not let my master down."

Having said that, her "motive" is very pure.

Although Xiao Shirong felt that it was not that simple, she really didn't understand what the benefit of doing so was.

After a long while, she said, "Since you think so, then you can serve the master."

The other concubines all breathed a sigh of relief.

After Xiao Shirong left, Xiang Xiaoniang, Wu Shanyue and others looked at Xie Fei, not knowing what to say for a moment.

Xie Fei smiled at everyone and said, "Don't worry, sisters. With the doctor here, the master will be fine."

Wu Shanyue had a complicated expression and said, "But sister, you are also a flesh and blood body, what if..."

"Sister Wu," Fang Qin interrupted her softly, "Since, since Sister Xie took the initiative to make this request, it means that she is willing to serve the master, let's not say anything more."

Xiang Xiaoniang also said: "Yes, Sister Xie knows much more than us. With her around, the master will surely get better soon."

Wu Shanyue was still a little hesitant, but Xie Fei gave her a reassuring smile.

Only after all the "outsiders" in Chaohui Pavilion were driven away did Xie Fei enter the house.

The maids and servants who were serving all looked nervous, and no one dared to look at the bed for even a second.

Xie Fei, however, swaggered forward and asked the doctor, "How is my master?"

The doctor had already given Pei Yuan an injection and some medicine to stabilize his condition.

"Young Master, you have exhausted your energy, your physical strength is exhausted, and your mind is depressed. I'm afraid, I'm afraid..."

The doctor looked embarrassed and didn't want to speak to Xie Fei, a woman.

Xie Fei thought, this is too euphemistic.

It's just that the foundation has been damaged, and I'm afraid I won't be able to have children in the future.

But out of consideration for Pei Yuan's face, I couldn't tell the truth.

It seems that Miao's incident gave Pei Yuan too much of a shock, causing him to become more self-indulgent than before, accelerating the decline of his health.

After seeing the doctor off, Xie Fei sat in the outer room and looked at the prescription the doctor had given him.

The maid stepped forward and said, "Young lady, you'd better not have too much contact with the master."

Xie Fei smiled, "I know, it's okay."

After all, venereal disease is not transmitted through the air, so as long as there is no close contact, it will most likely be harmless.

She handed the recipe to the maid and asked, "Is the mother who serves the master here?"

The maid said, "Mrs. Liu is boiling water in the kitchen. Do you want to call her?"

Xie Fei asked: "Mrs. Liu, how long have you been serving the Master?"

The maid thought for a moment and said, "Probably a few years."

"Master, do you not have servants that you have used since childhood? Like wet nurses, personal maids, etc?"

The maid didn't understand what Xie Fei meant, "Are you looking for someone who has served the master for many years?"

Xie Fei sighed, "I've been married into the Pei family for so long, but I don't know anything about my master. If I can find these people and ask my master what he likes, maybe they will be useful in the future."

The maid finally understood and felt very sympathetic towards Xie Fei for a moment.

"I know your difficulties, but there is no one like you in the mansion."

Xie Fei was slightly stunned. The maid said that when Pei Yuan was a child, he was raised in the Marquis' Mansion, that is, under the name of the old Marquis and the old lady.

When he was ten years old, he was taken to the border by General Pei.

Five years ago, after Pei Yuan returned to Beijing, many of his former maids were dismissed, and even the wet nurse received a generous reward and returned to her hometown.

However, there is only one person who should know something about Pei Yuan.

"After all, Xiang Xiaoniang entered the mansion when she was young, and later became the master's favorite concubine. Perhaps she knows the master better."

Xie Fei was a little surprised, "Mrs. Xiang? Is she from this mansion?"

The maidservant said, "I heard from the old ladies that Xiang Xiaoniang was a born slave of the Pei family and had served the master since she was a child. After the master returned from the border, the first concubine he took in was actually Xiang Xiaoniang."

Xie Fei had never heard of such a thing before, and considering Xiang Xiaoniang's character, it was nothing surprising.

She told the maid to do other things while she stayed to guard Pei Yuan.

It is said that Pei Yuan went to the border at the age of ten. Although he was timid and cowardly and could not fight in the battlefield, he had to learn how to use swords and knives.

General Pei hired many martial arts masters for his only son, and his subordinates also often gave him some pointers, so even if Pei Yuan was a loser, he should still be able to do something.

Coming to the bed, Xie Fei covered Pei Yuan's wrist with a handkerchief and then took his pulse.

This pulse is weak and has no basis, and has nothing to do with having learned any kung fu.

Xie Fei became more and more confused.

In the evening, in Qiongyu Garden, after Xiao Shirong had her meal, she heard from the servants that Xie Fei had been staying in Chaohui Pavilion.

She was very puzzled and asked Su Lu, "What do you think this woman is up to?"

Su Lu lowered her eyes and said, "Perhaps she hopes to take this opportunity to gain the master's love and care, so that her life will be easier in the future."

Xiao Shirong frowned and said, "Do you really think so?"

Su Lu said: "I am just judging others by my own experience, and it is just a rough guess. Madam, you don't have to take it seriously."

Xiao Shirong was still lost in thought.

She also considered Su Lu's words.

At most, Xie Fei wanted to win Pei Yuan's favor, otherwise how would he have a foothold in the future?
But when she thought about Xie Fei's previous eagerness to settle down in the farm, she felt that it was not that simple.

The little Xie Fei made her feel irritated and uneasy.

"Keep an eye on Chaohui Pavilion. Report any unusual behavior she has at any time."

"Yes." Su Lu bowed and retreated.

Nothing happened that night, and after two or three days, Pei Yuan gradually woke up. He lay on the bed, moving his eyes with difficulty, but was unable to take care of himself.

Although Xie Fei did not do it herself, she was always there to guard it, making it difficult for outsiders to figure out what her intentions were.

In the morning, she stopped someone and asked, "Is the old lady not back yet?"

The maid said, "No."

Xie Fei became more and more confused.

The son is about to die, but the mother doesn't even come back to see him. The relationship between mother and son is so bad that it is unbelievable.

While she was thinking, Mother Liu arrived first.

Before, because Xie Fei wanted to stay in Pei Mansion, Chen De went back first, and Mother Liu stayed by his side.

In the past two days, Mother Liu has gotten a general idea of ​​what's going on in the mansion, and can remind Xie Fei of many things.

"Miss, you asked me to invite Xiang Xiaoniang, but Xiang Xiaoniang said that she was not feeling well and it was inconvenient for her to come to Chaohui Pavilion."

Xie Fei laughed, "Is syphilis so terrible?" It seemed as if he would be infected if he took one step into this yard.

She added: "If they don't come, I'll go and ask them myself."
