Gu Old Madam originally did not like the two maids Yin Lan and Yin Zhu.
Her sharp old eyes swept over Yin Lan, thinking she was pretending to be delicate, did not give her face, and said indifferently, “Since this is the case, help her to the nearby Cuiyu Pavilion to rest first, and I will have someone call a doctor to take a look at her. Li Mama, you go along too.”
Yin Lan was a little anxious, “Old Madam need not worry, Mingxue Studio has good ready-made cold medicine, no need to trouble the Old Madam again.”
Gu Old Madam's old face suddenly sank, “What, I can't even speak in this manor now?”
Yin Lan bit her lip to calm herself and said, “This servant did not mean that, it's just that the young lady suddenly developed a high fever... This servant is anxious in her heart...”
“That's enough! Shut up!” Gu Old Madam had long disliked Qin Shi, so naturally she did not have a good expression towards the people she sent either. Today she finally found an opportunity to suppress her, and sternly said, “You are just a maid sent by the Censorate, after all not someone from my Bo Mansion. I don't need a maid like you to teach me what to do!”
She turned her head to the side with an icy expression, and said to Li Mama behind her, “Li Mama, outsiders are always outsiders. Ying is after all the legitimate daughter of the second room of my Bo Mansion. How can her health be left for an outsider to take care of? You personally take two maids to take Ying to Cuiyu Pavilion, and send two servants, one to call a doctor from outside, and one to grab some medicine to treat colds.”
Li Mama, relying on her power, glared fiercely at Yin Lan and said, "Yes, this old servant will go do it now."
After speaking, she pointed to two maids serving in Yongshou Hall, "Go, support the second young lady well."
At this moment, Gu Ying's mind was a little confused, and she did not know what kind of messy stuff she had drunk, but it was so powerful!
She was almost scorching hot, her whole body was as hot as burning up, and she was powerless to struggle.
Yin Lan knelt there, held down by two maids, her eyes red, "Old Madam! This servant has done nothing wrong, why does Old Madam treat this servant like this!"
Gu Old Madam didn't even bother to look at her and said, "Take her away, don't disturb everyone here."
Gu Ying shook her head silently, her eyes fixed on Yin Lan tightly, and mouthed to her, "Think of something, go find the eldest young master..."
Yin Lan suddenly held back her tears and lowered her head, no longer confronting Gu Old Madam head-on.
Gu Ying's body leaned crookedly into Li Mama's arms. She really couldn't muster any strength, she could only let Li Mama take her to Cuiyu Pavilion.
...
After sitting in Huichun Pavilion for a while, Liu Jianren happily got up to bid Gu Old Madam goodbye, “Old Madam, I am feeling a little uncomfortable, I want to go back and rest for a while before coming back to accompany you.”
Gu Old Madam naturally did not object.
Liu Jianren curved his lips and waved his hands as he walked out of Huichun Pavilion.
After Liu Jianren left Huichun Pavilion, Jiang Yin also silently left Huichun Pavilion from the corner.
Liu Jianren looked around the corridor for a long time, but couldn't find the direction of Cuiyu Pavilion.
This Bo Mansion was magnificently built, not big but not small either, definitely several times bigger than his family's manor.
He stood on the corridor and scratched his head, impatient to find someone to ask.
Unexpectedly, this person appeared at just the right time!
"Brother Jiang! You came at just the right time!"
"Brother Liu." Jiang Yin walked over with an indifferent expression, dressed in white, as handsome as the moon in the sky.
Liu Jianren and Jiang Yin were just acquaintances. He had only heard that he was the son-in-law of the Gu family, but was an excellent scholar, very talented, so he naturally did not dare to underestimate him.
He hurried up and laughed, "Brother Jiang, your advice to me yesterday was very good. That second young lady must be waiting for me now. I need to go comfort her well."
"Brother Jiang, did you see it today? That Gu second young lady's face turned so red after drinking your tea! What a beautiful lotus blossom coming out of the water! So charming and alluring! Those lips, that little nose, that little face, it really makes one want to press her down hard under one's body and torment her well!"
Hearing this, Jiang Yin smiled slightly, his laughter was very low, almost inaudible in the wind and snow.
His eyes were cold, and his heart was somewhat strangely uncomfortable. Although he also hated Gu Ying for treating him that way, he still didn't like other men talking about her body in front of him like this.
He looked at Liu Jianren in front of him, whose eyes were reduced to a narrow slit due to obesity, his expression very deep, "Brother Liu, if you go west, walk for one tea time, you will see Cuiyu Pavilion."
Liu Jianren was completely unsuspecting. He patted Jiang Yin on the shoulder with his big hand and said in brotherhood, "Thank you for pointing the way Brother Jiang. When I succeed in this matter, I will certainly not forget Brother Jiang's kindness!"
Jiang Yin faintly curved his lips, his expression calm, only his eyes were deep and unfathomable.
After watching Liu Jian leave the corridor, he coldly turned and walked straight to Cuiyu Pavilion.
...
Inside Cuiyu Pavilion.
Gu Ying was helped to lie on the couch. Li Mama looked down at her without saying anything, then turned and went out.
Gu Ying's mind was fuzzy. She could only first take off the thick cloak on her body with her small hands grasping her clothes.
There was no one else in Cuiyu Pavilion. It was usually used for guests to rest.
She hurriedly got off the bed and groped around. The two maids outside were gone too.
She pursed her red lips, and her hoarse voice softly called out twice.
But still no one outside responded.
She staggered to the door, her small hands scratching at the door, only to find that she couldn't open it at all.
"Come...come!"
Gu Ying's hoarse voice patted the door.
They had actually locked the door...
She was almost desperate, and also realized that today's play must have been deliberately designed to target her. Soon they would definitely arrange for Liu Jianren to come over...
By then, after consummating with Liu Jianren, even if she didn't want to marry him, she would have no choice...
Her heart ached, and her fingertips sharply embedded into her palms. She then quickly found a sharp object and stabbed it hard into her thigh. Fresh blood flowed down her skirt.
She finally regained some of her senses.
Just as she opened the window, preparing to jump out in desperation, the room door was pushed open.
A steady pace entered the room. The cold wind blew snowflakes in from outside, cold to the bone.
Gu Ying sobered up a little more. Her body was half leaning against the window. She looked back to the door.
The person smiled and asked, "Second young lady, how do you feel now?"
Gu Ying's face changed, her body almost unable to stand steady, "Jiang Yin?!"
Jiang Yin was not in a hurry either. His smiling eyes watched her escape actions.
"You...how did you get here?"
He looked calmly at Gu Ying's messy hair bun, her hair like silk flowing down her back.
The more disheveled she was, the more beautiful he thought she was, beautiful enough to captivate one's heart.
Jiang Yin walked over and easily picked her up.
