Chapter 5

The next day.

Hanfangyuan.

Yao Shi was sitting on the main seat, her face was as cold as water, staring coldly at Nanny Gui who was kneeling in front of her, as if she was staring at a whole roast chicken that she didn't know whether to eat by tearing it up or cutting it up.

"Mother Gui, what did I tell you when I handed Honglian over to you?"

Nanny Gui didn't dare to raise her head, she said in a low voice, "Only the dead can't talk nonsense."

Yao patted the table and scolded: "Huh, so you still remember. But why did Honglian's hoof stand in front of us today, revealing Jin Ying's plot?"

Nanny Gui raised her chin slightly, dripping with cold sweat: "Ma'am, I really don't blame the old slave for this matter. The old slave imprisoned Honglian in the woodshed according to the madam's order, and ordered his subordinates to be tortured to death. The old slave only found out later, It was the third girl who suddenly appeared and took people away on the way."

Yao closed his eyes, tried his best to suppress his anger, took a sip of tea, and said quietly: "Anyway, you are responsible for negligence in this matter. However, it depends on your last arrow shooting Jinying to death in time. For the sake of swearing, I will spare your life, and this will not be an example."

"The old slave thanked Madam for her kindness of forgiveness." Nanny Gui bowed her head and kowtowed three times in a row.

"Get up." Yao shi paused, then asked again: "Where is Honglian?"

Nanny Gui has big arms and a round waist, she got up a bit slowly, and before she could stand still, she hurriedly replied: "The third girl has quietly settled back to her hometown."

"It's really fast." Yao's brows were furrowed tightly, and he held the teacup tightly.

This girl Xue Mi doesn't look like an idiot now, let herself be flattened and rounded, and she must be careful in the future.

Yao shi was in deep thought when he suddenly saw Bitang rushing in, "It's not good, ma'am."

"Why panic?" Yao shi did not raise his eyelids, and poured himself a cup of tea in a leisurely manner.

Bitang took a deep breath and said, "It's the third girl. She woke up this morning and cried out in pain all over her body, and she was rolling all over the floor in pain. Nishang Teyang's maid came to ask Madam to ask Dr. Meng to come and see her."

"Oh?" Yao shi slightly hooked the corners of his lips, revealing an imperceptible smile.

It really deserves it!

Little slut, that fire didn't burn you to death, it's good that it hurts you to death!
Yao Shi gloated at other people's misfortunes, so naturally he refused to go along with Xue Mi's wishes, but he still had to be superficial, lest outsiders say that this mother is not competent at all.

"Nurse Gui, please go to Qingzao Lane to ask Dr. Meng quickly."

Yao's tone seemed to be a little eager, but as soon as his eyes met with Nanny Gui, he shook his head slightly.

Nanny Gui immediately understood that Madam was teaching herself to pretend to go out for a round and then come back empty-handed, so she could just find an excuse to prevaricate.

For example, Dr. Meng is out on a round trip, and he won’t be back for a while; the old sow is about to give birth, and she can’t get away at all.
However, Nanny Gui didn't need to lie.

Because Mencius is indeed not at home.

In the early morning, he went to Uncle Yongchang's mansion to see a doctor for the second son Tan Zhenzhe.

Tan Zhenzhe is Tan Jingyao's second son. Last night, he occasionally felt a cold, with a stuffy nose and a cough.

At this time, Yongchangbo Mansion, in Qingsong Pavilion.

Just as Meng Ziyi got the pulse and was about to give the needle, an arm was grabbed by the boy on the bed.

Meng Ziyi was shocked, staring at him and said, "Second Young Master, what is the meaning of this?"

The young man did not let go, but looked at him carefully, and asked urgently: "I heard that Doctor Meng is from Qinghe County?"

Meng Ziyi felt a little hurt from being caught by him, but he managed to hold back and nodded: "That's right. Why did the second son ask such a question?"

The young man tightened his hand even more, his eyes flashed with surprise, he coughed excitedly and said, "Then do you still remember Xue Mi, the eldest daughter of Qinghe county magistrate? Cough cough, where is she now? "

Mencius Yi was obviously taken aback, his arm was pinched purple and he didn't care about the pain, he shook his head slightly, and said: "Although the villain's ancestral home is in Qinghe, he went to Shengjing to study medicine when he was young, and then his family moved to Qingzao Lane to settle down. The county magistrate at that time was not named Xue."

After a pause, his complexion changed slightly, and he blurted out: "Although the villain doesn't recognize Xue County Magistrate's daughter, the third girl in Changqing Hou's house is named Xue Mi. The villain arrived yesterday. The family is treating her."

"Miss Xue San from the Marquis of Changqing?" The young man slowly let go of his hand, pressed his throat, and then sighed again.

It should be the same name.

He had some impressions of the third girl in the Changqing Hou Mansion. According to the memories in his mind, she often came to the mansion to pester his elder brother to play.

It seems that he is still demented, and his mind is like a three-year-old child.

However, yesterday when Eldest Brother came back from Changqinghou's Mansion, he said that she was much clearer, that she was a different person, and that she liked to ignore him.

It's really fun.

Tan Zhenzhe squinted her eyes, and thought to herself: Why don't you go to Changqinghou's Mansion to visit the third girl after she recovers from her illness, to see and see.In addition, the matter of finding Miyatou has to be done as soon as possible.

Having made up her mind, Tan Zhenzhe felt a little more at ease, looked up and saw Meng Ziyi rubbing her sore arm, and said with an embarrassed smile: "Doctor Meng, I was impatient and abrupt just now, please forgive me .”

"It's okay, the second son is serious." Meng Ziyi waved his hand and took out a silver needle from the needle bag again.

After a few injections, the effect was immediate, and Tan Zhenzhe's cough stopped a lot immediately.

Tan Zhenzhe thanked Meng Ziyi, just sat up from the bed, and came in with Jian Lie to report: "My lord, Miss Anguo's mansion is asking to see you."

"Zheng Zhuoyun's younger sister, Zheng Yirong?" Tan Zhenzhe was startled.

"Exactly." Jian Lie bowed his head and said.

"Please." Tan Zhenzhe hesitated for a moment, rubbed his eyebrows and said.

Not long after, a red-robed girl stepped into the room and greeted Tan Zhenzhe: "Mr. Tan is well. I was surprised to hear that your master is ill. Yi Rong was uneasy, so I came here to visit."

Tan Zhenzhe nodded slightly, "Miss Zheng misses you."

Zheng Yirong ordered the maidservant to present the gift box, smiling like a flower: "That day in the horse race in the snow, I won a snow lotus plant that the young master took as the first lottery. taste."

Tan Zhenzhe coughed twice, and said with a smile: "Miss Zheng is polite. The girl's kindness is appreciated, so I won't accept the pastry. I'm not as skilled as others, and you deserve that snow lotus plant. Take it back."

Jian Lie returned the gift box to the original owner.

The smile on Zheng Yirong's face froze, and she was about to decline, when she heard Tan Zhenzhe say: "Miss Zheng, if you have nothing else to do, please go back, it's about time I took a nap."

Having said all of this, it is clear that an order to evict guests has been issued.

Zheng Yirong was stunned, could only smile in embarrassment, cupped his hands in salute, and said: "Since that's the case, you can take a rest, and Yi Rong will not bother you. You are welcome to visit the Duke's Mansion when you have time."

"Definitely next time." Tan Zhenzhe nodded and smiled politely, "I'm sorry to send you off."

Zheng Yirong stamped the buckskin boots on her feet, turned around and walked out quickly.
