Her Heartless Evil Man

The rain beat plantains, the cold night, and the shadow of the trees swayed. I sat at the table and tasted Tieguanyin brought by Li'an's trustee the day before yesterday. The tea fragrance overflowed, and the quiet green was dark, warming a cold heart.

"Miss, the ninth lady is coming." ruoqing stood by the door with a curtain and whispered.

"Please." close the tea bowl and shake the teapot. Unconsciously, more than half of a pot of tea has been drunk. "If you are clear, make another pot of new tea."

Mrs. nine is the ninth of my father's wives. Therefore, people in the prime minister's house respect her as Mrs. nine. She is six years older than me, but she is a generation higher than me. In the prime minister's house, she only protects her mother and is friendly with me.

"Yun Qi'er, I heard that you are ill, but are you all right?" the smiling voice was sent to my ear. With her, the house felt quite at home.

"Better, Mrs. nine, sit down quickly." I got up and poured the tea into the Jasper bowl myself. She is my distinguished guest, and I will never neglect her.

"I heard you were ill when I got up early, but I didn't have time to come to see you so late." her eyebrows and eyes were full of sorry politeness.

"Mrs. nine is very kind. I wanted Yun Qi'er to say hello to Mrs. nine." although I was familiar with her, I couldn't lose my courtesy. I bowed down and blessed her.

"I hate those messy rules, which makes people breathless. Yun Qi'er, is it cold?" the ninth lady tasted tea and said inadvertently, which is comforting.

I don't like those rules either.

"Right. Yesterday, I went to the garden to admire the lotus. Unfortunately, it rained, got wet and caught cold. I thought it would be good to keep it for a day or two. Mrs. nine doesn't have to worry about it." I'm sick without rain and I've been used to it for a long time.

"Such a big man doesn't know how to take care of himself. Let your mother know that there is no need to worry." when my mother is not in the house, the ninth lady takes care of me like a mother or a sister. She won't leave me with food and clothes.

"Don't tell my mother." I know she often goes to the family temple to pray for blessings. That's my mother's place. I don't want my mother to worry about me and ignore my worldly affairs.

"Well, I won't say, but you have to be obedient and take the medicine obediently."

"Yes." I smiled faintly. There's no reason why I can't accept such kindness.

"I brought some medicine. You let the girls fry it and take it. Only in this way can you get better. You always have to be cured. You can't hold on."

"Thank you, Mrs. nine." I owe my body, which is my thanks.

"Don't thank so early. I have something to ask you?"

"Look what madam says. What can yunqi do for you? Do what you can do. Just try your best." I've known Mrs. 9 for six years. She never asked me anything since she entered the house. I think it must be very important this time. I'm worried. I don't know if I really have the ability to help her.

"In a few days, people from my mother's family will come. My mother has been thinking of me and sent the servant who came to take a message to say that I want a picture of me. I want to think about it. Yun Qi'er's painting style is the best. You see, I'll ask you for this job. How about it?"

I smiled, "I've received many such assignments, Mrs. Xie Jiu."

I have been in Lou's house all year round. Reading, needlework, painting and playing the piano are my ways to spend my leisure time, but they are all useless. Now when I draw for the first time, I thought to myself that I must draw the best to make Mrs. nine happy and her family happy.

"Do you want me to cooperate?" Mrs. nine looked happy and interested.
