Across the Market

Chapter 240

Seeing Xie Tong's suspicious eyes cast on her, Zhu Fu nodded lightly and said, "I've been bored here for so many days, and I also want to go out for a stroll. It just so happened that the county lord had such a proposal, so I agreed. Come down." He shook the lake blue dress again, "Look, this dress was also sent by the county magistrate, doesn't it look good?"

Although she was smiling, it seemed that she was deliberately smiling for someone to see. The smile did not reach the bottom of her eyes, and her eyes were always dark.

The girl said: "Yes, Mr. Xie, the county master is waiting for the girl."

Xie Tong didn't answer, he turned his head to the maid and said: "I have something to say to Miss Zhu, you go down first."

That servant girl is the maidservant next to County Lord Liuguang, so naturally she only listens to County Lord Liuguang, and the County Lord naturally doesn't listen to a foreigner giving orders to him.

She twitched and said: "Mr. Xie, don't make things difficult for your servant. The county lord told me to invite the girl to go immediately. The slave and servant dare not disobey the county lord's order. If Mr. Xie wants to say something to Miss Zhu, you have to ask." County lord, slaves and maidservants cannot be masters."

Someone opened the door and came in. It was another servant girl from the mansion. She was holding a red lacquer tray and said with a smile: "Miss Zhu, the weather is hot, and the county lord specially asked the servant to bring iced pear soup to the girl. The county lord said, As long as the girl eats this pear soup, she will definitely be full of energy."

Hearing this, Xie Tong glanced at her coldly, his eyes were like knives, and the little girl shut up immediately in fright.

"Bring the soup here." Xie Tong ordered, and the maid immediately walked up to Xie Tong with a red lacquer tray.

Zhu Fu saw that Xie Tong seemed to be feeding herself with his own hands, so she quickly waved her hand, then picked up the small bowl on the tray and drank it all.

Xie Tong's hand holding the spoon was a little tighter, and he looked at Zhu Fu with a cold handsome face, as if ten thousand worms were gnawing at his heart.No matter how powerful he is, he can't interfere with Shen Yulou's marriage, and he doesn't know how to comfort her. This is the first time he feels that things are really difficult.

Shen Yulou dived into the water to save Cao Jinshu, but Cao Jinshu grabbed him like a life-saving straw, he refused to let go no matter what, and kept clinging to his neck.Shen Yulou was restrained, his limbs could not be stretched, coupled with the rapid flow of running water, after several overturns, he was submerged.

Because of Cao Da's kindness, he only thought of saving Cao Jinshu, so he only held Cao Jinshu high above the water, but he drank a lot of water.

When he woke up again, it had been several days later, and he only felt a headache.

"Yulou, are you awake?" Aunt Shen was sitting on the edge of the bed. Seeing that her son had finally woken up, her eyes were obviously brighter. Just right, you have to lie down and rest well. Your master and mother have told me that you fell into the water to save Miss Cao."

Shen Yulou's mind went blank for a moment, and after realizing the purpose of his visit to Jinling this time, he suddenly woke up.

"Mother, I've been in a coma for a few days? Where's Ah Fu? Why are you here?" He was impatient for a while, and there were too many questions in his mind, so he asked them all at once.

Aunt Shen was really upset when she saw that her son asked Afu about that girl as soon as she woke up. Did he know that it was his own mother who stayed by his bedside day and night.

Aunt Shen's complexion immediately turned bad, but she was afraid that her son would be worried, so she just replied: "That girl is fine, she lives in the county lord's mansion and provides food and clothes for offerings, what can she do? All right, all right, you still care about her. Take care of yourself, the doctor said, you are in good health, so you are fine, but you still have to take good care of yourself."

"Mom, I'm fine, I can get out of bed." He lifted the quilt and got out of bed, but Aunt Shen held him down and didn't allow him.

"You are the flesh that fell from my mother. It hurts my son's body and hurts my mother's heart." Aunt Shen kept a straight face, obviously upset, "And what about you? You don't listen to your mother again and again, Yulou , do you want to be mad at your mother!"

Shen Yulou said: "Mother, son doesn't dare, son just..."

"Okay, okay." Aunt Shen didn't let him continue, "You have been in a coma for several days, and it was Dean Cao who sent someone to pick me up and Yuzhu. When you were sick and unconscious, your master and mother were still there There is Ms. Cao, but I come to visit you every day, and I use all the precious medicinal materials to decoct your medicine. Especially Ms. Cao, seeing that you have not woken up, she sat beside me silently and waited for you together, without saying a word Yes. Such a good girl can't be found even with a lantern."

Shen Yulou understood the meaning of what his mother said, but he didn't want to mention it, he just asked, "Where is Yuzhu?"

"It's the first time for Yuzhu to come back to play in such a big place, and I see that you are fine, and you are outside this time." As soon as Aunt Shen finished speaking, there was a sudden burst of firecrackers outside.
