Chapter 159 Disappointment
Gu Yunyan said, unknowingly drank the whole cup of ginseng tea: "This tea tastes good, go make another cup."

With a bitter face, Qing Ya replied cautiously: "This ginseng is from the warehouse. Before the girl was ill, the master used most of it specially. Now there is only a little bit left. The servants saw it as a waste, so they used the rest to make tea. Give the girl nourishment."

"You are still caring, knowing that I have been tired for a while." Gu Yunyan yawned, feeling that her eyelids were about to close, and she was so sleepy: "Daddy just sent someone a 1000 taels of silver, and you can help me with that." I put it away. I will never forget your kindness when I go to An Guohou's Mansion in the future."

Qing Ya responded softly, and helped Gu Yunyan to sleep on the bed in the inner room.

She stared at her own girl who was sleeping soundly on the couch, hesitated for a while, and finally told the little maid outside the door: "Young lady likes to drink ginseng tea, and the ginseng in the warehouse is not a good product. I will go to the pharmacy for a while." Come on, you stay here carefully, don't let anyone disturb the girl, or don't stay in Diecui Garden!"

The servant girl agreed, and Qing Ya hurried out of the mansion.

She went to the back alley of the previous restaurant familiarly, and waited for a while but didn't see anyone coming, so she couldn't help being anxious.

Is this person going back on his word and not going to keep his promise?
Qing Ya waited for half an hour, knowing that she couldn't wait any longer, if Gu Yunyan woke up and didn't see her, she might be suspicious.

When she was about to leave, a purse suddenly fell from midair, which shocked people a lot.

Qing Ya looked left and right, saw no one, carefully opened the purse, inside was a thin piece of letterhead: "Your brother is safe and sound, we will be able to pick him up here in three days." '

After reading it several times, she was completely relieved, as long as her brother was fine.

Qing Ya was also not sure what was in the medicine bag that the man gave her.But for the sake of her younger brother, she didn't have time to send it to the pharmacy to ask the doctor to tell the difference.If he was to scare the snake away, would his younger brother still survive?
She gritted her teeth, and trotted to the pharmacy to buy a century-old ginseng, and ran back home with her arms in her arms.

Gu Yunyan hadn't woken up yet, not only did she miss lunch, but she couldn't even get up for dinner after falling asleep.

When Qing Ya saw it, she panicked.

When Gu Yunyan couldn't sleep, Master Gu was also startled, and rushed over anxiously.

Seeing that his daughter was just asleep, with a peaceful look on her face, as if she was in a deep sleep, he breathed a sigh of relief: "How did you take care of her? The girl is sick, why don't you hurry up and invite the doctor to come and see her?"

Trembling, Qing Ya came forward to report: "Master, the girl only said that she was tired, and told the slaves not to wake her up. Unexpectedly, this sleep, but they couldn't wake her up, which frightened the slaves."

As soon as the words fell, Gu Yunyan raised her hand and rubbed her forehead, slowly opened her eyes, and saw that Master Gu was very surprised: "Why is Daddy here?"

Seeing that all the maids serving in the yard were kneeling on the ground, and the sky outside the window was also dark, she was surprised and said: "I didn't expect this sleep, but it's this hour, and it's my daughter who is really unfilial if I make my father worry."

"Whatever you say, as long as you are fine. Is the housekeeper tired these days? Let your sister-in-law help me so that my son won't be able to wake up from sleep." Master Gu thought that she was tired because the housekeeper was tired. It is very distressing.

Now that Gu Yunyan has gained the sweetness of being a housekeeper, she is naturally unwilling to hand over the power of housekeeping she has obtained to others: "Daddy, sister-in-law is not going to give birth to a big fat boy for big brother, so I can't be tired now."

Seeing his daughter's shy face, Master Gu smiled and said: "It's because you have the heart, then continue to take care of it. If you are tired, just tell Dad, you can't carry it alone."

"It's natural, it's late at night, Dad, go slowly." Gu Yunyan sent Master Gu away, stretched her waist, only to feel very tired all over: "Qing Ya came and rubbed my shoulders, everyone else Go away."

Qing Ya's face turned pale, Gu Yunyan only thought that she was being scolded by Master Gu, and comforted her: "Daddy is also in a hurry, and his tone is a bit harsh, so don't take it to heart."

"Yes, girl." Qing Ya was puzzled, Gu Yunyan is still fine now, there is nothing wrong with it, what is the medicine bag that person gave?
She rubbed Gu Yunyan's shoulders, and the latter quickly fell asleep again.

Qing Ya stayed outside and went in to check from time to time, but she still didn't find any changes. She didn't dare to fall asleep all night, and she was haggard the next day.

The man said that he would return his brother in three days, Qing Ya didn't dare to put more medicine, lest Gu Yunyan see the clue.

Except for some that seeped into the ginseng soup at the beginning, everything else was thrown into the brazier and burned completely.

She stared at the powder and the wrapped oil paper burning clean before she dared to leave.

But as soon as Qing Ya returned to Diecui Garden, she saw a woman walking out with a maid who was bleeding head and blood, and she was shocked: "What's the matter, where did you knock it?"

The mother-in-law curled her lips and said in a low voice: "Where is it knocked, it was smashed by the girl with a teacup!"

Hearing this, Qing Ya was even more surprised, and asked in a low voice: "What did this girl do wrong to make the girl so angry?"

The servant girl's footsteps were sloppy, her whole face was as white as paper, and she said in a crying voice: "I didn't do anything, I served the tea cup, and the girl suddenly hit me on the forehead..."

Thinking of just now, she shuddered, and urged her mother-in-law to send herself back to apply the wound medicine, lest she would lose her appearance if it was too late.

Qing Ya stood there for a while, then stepped into the courtyard, Gu Yunyan looked over with a smile on her face: "Why have you been here for so long?"

"The maidservant has gone to make tea for the girl," she turned sideways, and asked the little maidservant behind her to offer the teacup.

The little maid was terrified, just now she saw Gu Yunyan smash the teacup on the maid, her head was bleeding, and the bright red blood splashed down, it was very scary.

Even after cleaning up just now, there still seems to be a faint smell of blood in the house.

Gu Yunyan didn't get angry this time, took a sip from the teacup, frowned and said: "This taste is not as good as last time, isn't your tea-making technique rusty?"

Qing Ya repeatedly apologized, and she waved her hand and said: "It's okay, I'll just buy a maid who understands tea art and come back later..."

Before Gu Yunyan finished speaking, someone outside the door sneezed a little.I guess I tried my best to keep the voice down, covered my mouth and nose with both hands, and I could still hear it vaguely in a quiet room.

She immediately turned unhappy, and glanced outside: "Slap your mouth for things that don't follow the rules."

The mother-in-law went out and slapped the little girl's mouth vigorously.

The voice showed that she had used a lot of strength, Gu Yunyan listened, and then she softened her expression with satisfaction: "I will let you do the job of buying a maid."

Qing Ya responded frightenedly. Hearing the continuous sound from outside, the woman was panting, peeking inside from time to time, but saw Gu Yunxiao playing with her fingers, and she didn't have the intention to stop at all, she was immediately annoyed Just now I didn't dare to take the initiative, just to curry favor with the second girl Gu, now the hand hurts from the beating, the maid in front of her is full of blood, she has lost a few teeth, her cheeks are swollen, if she continues to beat her, she may die.

She had to bite the bullet and reminded: "This woman is teaching the servant girl outside, so she doesn't have to disturb the girl's cleanliness."

"You're right," Gu Yunyan nodded. Qing Ya thought she would stop here and winked at her mother-in-law, but the next sentence sent chills down her back: "Then just drag it to the backyard and leave it alone." Continue to slap the mouth where people are, when this mouth can no longer make a sound, when will it stop."

This clearly killed the maid, just because she sneezed unintentionally?
The maids present felt cold on the soles of their feet, as if they had fallen into an ice cave, and looked at Qing Ya in horror.

Qing Ya was also startled, and persuaded helplessly: "For such a maid, there is no need for the girl to bother, just sell it."

Gu Yunyan glanced at her coolly, and when Qing Ya couldn't help but her feet were so soft that she was about to fall to the ground, she nodded slowly: "I'll follow you, take him away."

Not only Qingya, but also the mother-in-law who slapped her mouth heaved a sigh of relief, if she continued to beat her, she might not be able to work with her hands for three to five days.

The maid who was beaten also consciously saved her life. It was better to be betrayed than to be beaten to death.

Diecui Garden returned to its usual tranquility, but the maids were more cautious, and the mother-in-law repeatedly breathed lightly, for fear of angering the suddenly gloomy second girl of the Gu family.

Only now did Qing Ya understand what was in the medicine bag that made Gu Yunyan's temperament so violent?

She panicked and suddenly felt that she had done something stupid.Maybe one day when Gu Yunyan finds out that he has drugged himself, he is afraid that his life will be worse than death.

Gu Yunyan rubbed her forehead, only to feel that she has always been groggy for the past few days, and it is easy to get angry and lose her temper over some trivial matters.Several ladies in charge were scolded bloody by her, and some of them had a strong temper and directly sued Mr. Gu.

"Master, although we are all born in the family, we have been released as slaves by Mrs. Gu a long time ago to work for the Gu family. We are decent outside the mansion and do things well, but when we enter the mansion, we are repeatedly scolded by the second girl. After throwing it all away, how can I control the people in the store in the future?"

Mr. Gu obviously didn't believe it. He was afraid that Gu Yunyan would find out what the lady in charge had done to cover up, and then she would lose her temper: "Since you are no longer a slave of the Gu family, and the deed of prostitution is gone, don't want to If you stay in Gu's house, you can leave naturally."

The lady in charge didn't expect Master Gu to drive her away. Although she lost her slave status, her husband's deed of sale was still in the Gu family. How could she just leave?

Master Gu is so partial to Gu Yunyan, which really disappointed her: "Master, the second girl spends too much, and the accounts are hard to settle. I really have no choice but to ask my wife to come forward and look at the accounts. Otherwise, as time goes by, the Gu family will soon be unable to make ends meet. gone."

He has never paid much attention to these trivial matters. The Gu family not only has land to rent, but also has a shop to make a profit. No matter how much Gu Yunyan spends it, it is impossible for Gu's family to be poor: "What does the second girl want?" Just follow her, now the second girl is in charge of the house, not Madam."
