Tangled

Chapter 3
"Mama was joking, Qiqi doesn't dare to take credit for that."

"Mommy..."

"Girl, it's late at night, let's rest first, the old slave will talk to the girl about the rest tomorrow."

Feeling sleepy, Shen Qiqi really couldn't open her eyes anymore, although there were still many doubts in her heart, she still lay down obediently.

Nanny He helped her reapply the medicine, tucked up the corner of the quilt tightly, and was about to blow out the candle and go out, but was stopped.

"Mommy, keep the lights on, I'm afraid of the dark."

Nanny He paused, then covered the candle with a gauze cover.

"Miss, take a good rest, the old slave is outside, if you wake up at night, call the old slave and he will come in."

Nanny He withdrew, met Nanny Lin who came back with hot tea, and stopped her with her hand.

"The girl has already rested, let's put it outside first."

The candles in the room were still on, and the two looked at each other and sighed silently.

Even if it is a girl from an ordinary family, there will be maids watching the night in the house, and the master will get up to check whenever there is any movement, so why let the master keep the lights on all night.

I heard before that the cousin girl was not taken seriously, but I never thought that she would be neglected to this extent.

And the little maids in this courtyard, the movement just now is not light, it has been such a long time, and they have not come out to serve.

In this yard, I really don't know which one is the master.

Both of them were sighing for the master in the house, and only after recovering did they realize, why is Nanny Zhang missing?
The two looked at each other, wondering if she had gone back with the young master, when they heard a soft voice from the west wing.

The two looked at each other, and they both understood what the other had done, but they pretended not to hear, and went to work on their own.

This night's sleep was really not safe. Once the effect of the ointment wore off, it was as if the knee had been pricked by a silver needle.

But his head was muddled, and his eyelids were as heavy as a thousand catties. He clearly heard someone talking in his ears, but he couldn't open his eyes no matter what.

Shen Qiqi struggled for a long time, and finally opened her eyes slowly after being fed a few mouthfuls of bitter medicine.

She looked at Nanny He who was sitting on the bedside holding the medicine, her eyes were a little red, she opened her mouth, but found that she couldn't make a sound.

"Girl, don't panic, it's just the cold air entering your body, take a few doses of medicine and sweat and you'll be fine."

"This is also the old slave's fault. Knowing that the girl caught a cold last night, she forgot to ask the doctor to prescribe two medicines to make her sweat."

If he had taken the medicine last night, he wouldn't have to suffer like this today.

Shen Qiqi couldn't speak, so she could only pat Nanny He, smiled and shook her head.

How could anyone else be blamed for this matter, it was all because of her carelessness that she got sick.

After feeding the medicine, just about to continue to lie down and rest, there was a sudden movement in the yard.

He Nanny frowned, seeing that Shen Qiqi wanted to get up to check, she hurriedly held her down.

"The most important thing for a girl right now is to take good care of her body. There are a few of us old guys out there."

The young master asked them to come here not only to take care of the master, if an outsider stepped into this house today, they would all have lived in vain for so many years.

Now that Nanny He had said so, Shen Qiqi lay down in peace.

After lying down, she couldn't fall asleep either, so she opened her eyes and looked at the top of the tent, listening to the movement outside with her ears open.

"Hello Mammy He. I heard that my cousin is ill. Qing Ning came to visit. I hope Mammy can make it easier for Qing Ning to meet her cousin."

The eldest girl in the Hou's mansion, her speech and behavior are all taught by the empress and princess in the palace. She is full of nobility, and she can be regarded as a tricky person, but she can't find any faults.

Nanny He saluted, but didn't let her in, she still firmly blocked the door.

"Please greet the eldest daughter and the second daughter. My daughter can't see the wind, and I'm afraid that she will give you the sickness. It's better to wait for my daughter to recover from her illness before going to greet the eldest daughter."

The phrase "my girl" clearly shows the closeness, Gu Qingning understands it in her heart, but Gu Qingyun next to her explodes at a single point.

She took a step forward and was about to shout at the top of her voice, but was pulled back by Gu Qingning.

"Ah Yun, since my cousin is still sick, let's go back first, and come back after two days when my cousin recovers."

Gu Qingyun curled her lips, it will be two days, and she will not be in the mansion in two days.

As soon as the auspicious time comes tomorrow, she will be sent to the palace in a pink sedan chair. Whether they can meet again in the future is another matter!

"This is the best white fungus, please ask Mammy to stew it for my cousin."

Gu Qingning asked the maid to bring the things forward, and then pulled Gu Qingyun out.

No matter how dissatisfied Gu Qingyun was in her heart, she didn't dare to shake Gu Qingning's face in front of outsiders, and she only let go of her hand after leaving Qingzhu Xiaozhu.

"Sister, what are you pulling me for? I still have a lot to say."

Isn't it just an old nanny, so what if it's by the elder brother's side, they are the masters of this house.

"She will be carried to the palace tomorrow, and I have to add makeup to her."

Looking at this younger sister of the same mother, Gu Qingning really wanted to knock open her head to see what was inside.

She obviously reads the same book, why is she so stupid.

"Whether the old prince can fulfill his wish or not is up for debate. You add makeup to her? You want to embarrass yourself!"

Gu Qingyun blinked, doubts were written all over her peach-like face, "It's all settled? Can it be changed?"

The old prince appointed her, and the dowry was also accepted, so how could there be any changes?
"Eldest sister, don't you think I'm stupid and you're going to lie to me. Grandma has already said that she has to marry if she is married, and she has to marry if she doesn't."

"Knowing that I'm stupid, I should say less, so as not to make people laugh." Gu Qingning glanced at her lightly.

"There are only a few women in the eldest brother's yard, and they are all in her yard now, one by one 'my girl', don't you understand?"

Seeing her shaking her head in a daze, Gu Qingning reached out and poked her forehead angrily, "If you die young, you must die stupidly."

"She begged to the elder brother, and the elder brother agreed to her. Do you think this relationship can still be formed?"

Eldest brother is a celebrity in the imperial court, not to mention being named a marquis early, and he has saved the crown prince time and time again, so he must be [-]% sure of what he will do.

"Sister, then she really doesn't need to marry?"

Gu Qingyun recollected what Gu Qingning said, ah again, and asked softly: "Eldest sister, why do you think elder brother agreed to help her?"

"How do I know!" Gu Qingning spat angrily.

The eldest brother is cold by nature, and he doesn't get along well with his brothers and sisters in the house. He doesn't even say hello when they meet each other on weekdays. How could she know why his eldest brother would help her.

"If you don't know, you don't know, what are you doing so loudly!"

Gu Qingning ignored the muttering next to her, she turned around and looked at the small courtyard hidden behind the bamboo forest, and slowly lowered her eyebrows.

She is also smart, knowing who in the mansion can help her.

"Elder sister, do you think that since elder brother is willing to help her, will he also be willing to help you and the prince..."

"Gu Qingyun, you have become more and more presumptuous recently, thinking that no one can cure you if your mother enters the ancestral hall to pray for blessings, right?"
