Chapter 22 Disappointment
The maids and servants passing by bowed their knees to Dou Lianyi and then filed in.

They held all kinds of delicious dishes in their hands, and the fragrance was full of fragrance. Some of them were even something that Dou Lianyi would never see once or twice in the prince's palace all year round.

"Who asked you to send these?"

Dou Lianyi stopped a maid who was about to walk into the courtyard and asked in a low voice.

"When I get back to the young lady, most of the things here are brought here at the request of the young master. He said that Brother Dong was frightened and was ill in bed yesterday. He needs to replenish his body."

The maid stopped and replied honestly.

"Got it, let's go."

When the maid entered the courtyard, Fu Qing was startled and said, "The ginseng whiskers yesterday were not enough to replenish his body."

"Go in and have a look."

Dou Lianyi frowned and did not answer, but took Fu Qing into the yard.

When Dou Lianyi approached the room where Brother Dong lived, not only did Dou Lianyi not smell the slightest smell of medicine, but on the contrary, there was a smell of spilled honey coming from the wide open door.

It's so sweet that it makes you feel dizzy at first smell.

"What is the taste!"

Dou Lianyi subconsciously took a few steps back. Her first reaction was that Lu Shangxuan had done something to harm her.

Fu Qing on the side also felt something was wrong. He stepped forward and stood in front of Dou Lianyi. His face was serious and he looked around alertly.

"Young Madam, are you coming to see Brother Dong?"

At this moment, a maid hurried over, saluted Dou Lianyi and then asked cautiously.

Dou Lianyi recognized that this maid had some friendship with Bai Zhi. She seemed to be called Qing'er. She narrowed her eyes slightly and asked in a cold voice: "What's going on here? Where is Brother Dong?"

Qing'er pursed her lips in embarrassment, as if she didn't dare to tell the truth.

Seeing this, Dou Lianyi's doubts deepened, her face turned cold, and her voice became a little colder.

"Is it possible that I, the young lady, cannot do what you ask?"

"The slaves dare not!"

Dou Lianyi always treated her servants in a good-natured manner, but whenever she spoke in such a stern tone, Qing'er was so frightened that her knees weakened and she knelt down.

"If you still don't explain clearly, I will give you a deed of betrayal and send you out of the county prince's palace!"

"Young Madam, spare your life, Young Madam." Qing'er was so frightened that he didn't dare to have any thoughts of deception. He lowered his head and said in a low voice: "It's Brother Dong who wants to smell the honey and wants to call us." I knocked over dozens of jars of summer honey on the ground, and also poured a lot of it into the aromatherapy stove, which made the whole house smell this sweet and greasy."

This level of absurdity even made Dou Lianyi frown, and she subconsciously asked: "So Brother Dong is still in there now?"

"No, Brother Dong is tired of the smell, and now he has changed to the house on the east side."

"absurd!"

Dou Lianyi finally couldn't hold it back any longer and scolded him angrily.

Qing'er didn't dare to speak. Of course she knew how excessive this young master's behavior was, but she was just a servant, so what could she say?

"Take me now!"

"Yes, young lady."

The three of them came to the east side of the courtyard one after another. Dou Lianyi didn't disturb any of the servants, so she stood quietly outside the window and looked in.

Brother Dong was lying on the bed, his legs crossed and dangling.There were several plates of pastries on his hand, half-bitten and then thrown aside without eating.

The green smoke from the aromatherapy burner by the window curled up, somewhat blurring Dou Lianyi's vision.

She suddenly felt a little ridiculous. How could lard be so blinded in her last life that she wanted to educate him to the point where he could enter the cabinet and become a bachelor?
"Mother?"

Fu Qing keenly sensed that Dou Lianyi was in something wrong. He tugged at the corner of her clothes and called out in a low voice.

"Let's go."

Dou Lianyi lowered her eyes, quickly came to her senses, reached out and held Fu Qing's little hand, and whispered.

After the two people walked away, Brother Dong in the room lazily turned over and bit into a grape handed to him by the maid.

"Young Master, the Young Madam came here just now, and she brought another Young Master with her..."

A servant walked into the room with his body bent and a flattering smile on his face. However, before he could finish his words, Brother Dong angrily grabbed a handful of grapes and threw them at them.

"Shut up, what about another young master? I am the only young master in the county prince's palace!"

Brother Dong's face was full of arrogance and domineering, and he didn't take Dou Lianyi seriously at all.

He is the direct grandson of the county prince's palace, why should that little bastard named Fu Qing be on an equal footing with him!
"Yes, young master."

The servants and maids below were so frightened that they all knelt down, and no one dared to say a word.

This is the time when summer turns to autumn, and the temperature changes in the morning and evening are like a child's face. It's still a little cool in the morning, but it becomes unbearably hot again when the sun shines brightly at noon.

Dou Lianyi had been lying on the deck chair in the courtyard early. The sun above was blocked by the huge tree, which made her comfortably squint and take a nap.

"Young madam, are you still going to the young master's yard today?"

Bai Zhi brought a dessert from outside and put it on the stone table, and asked casually.

"Go to Brother Dong's place," Dou Lianyi opened his eyes, stood up and said a little coldly: "All in all, I haven't seen him for several days."

She was too lazy to dress up. She only applied a thin layer of makeup on her face and wore a light green top and skirt, which gave her a clear and cool look.

A white magnolia hairpin was inserted diagonally into her rolled-up hair, and a few strands of thin silver threads hung down, making her look even more radiant as she moved around.

I don't know if it was a habit left over from her previous life, but Dou Lianyi would feel a little uncomfortable whenever she saw Dong Ge'er's unlearned and unskilled look, so she rarely showed up in Dong Ge'er's yard.

But Brother Dong was even happier when he saw that no one was taking care of him. He was causing a lot of trouble in the yard and couldn't care about studying or practicing martial arts.

So when Dou Lianyi appeared quietly in his yard, she saw him screaming and laughing and asking the servants to imitate the dog crawling for him.

"Young lady!"

A sharp-eyed maid saw Dou Lianyi and was so shocked that she quickly called out.

"It's better to be a dog than to be a human being," Dou Lianyi said in a calm tone: "From today on, how about you all going to live in the doghouse?"

When the servants heard this, they all froze on the spot, neither getting up nor crawling, with a look of fear on their faces.

Brother Dong then raised his head and looked over slowly, with a flash of obvious displeasure on his face.

However, he still walked over honestly and called out in a low voice: "Mom, why are you here today?"

Dou Lianyi glanced at the silent servants in the courtyard and asked with a calm expression.

"Brother Dong, if I didn't come, would you have more fun?"
