Chapter 11 Did you think it was me...

"Prepare water and take a bath!"

The person below moved really quickly, but by the time she got up, the hot water was already ready.
  I don’t know how much better it is compared to the treatment in Lu Mansion.

It made her feel like she was truly the master for the first time.

In the eyes of Nanny Lin who was hesitant to speak, Gu Wanyu let out a comfortable sigh as she stepped into the tub.
  Xiao Huan, Zhu'er and Guo'er took clean cloth strips, avoiding the wounds, and gently scrubbed her body.
  Nanny Lin's eyes lingered on her red-scarred body for a moment, then she stepped out of the ear room.

She opened a slit with her eyes, looked at the closed door, and quickly closed it again.

After everything was packed and returned to the main room, it was already half past midnight.

"Madam, breakfast has been set up in the main hall, please move over."

"I don't have much appetite, it's getting late, and I have to learn the rules from grandma, so I won't use it. Xiaohuan, Guo'er, you can take it and share it."

"Ma'am, you'd better use some. There's no rush. The old servant ordered Butler Xu to invite a medical girl to treat your wounds after breakfast."

Nanny Lin’s tone was as gentle as ever,

"It seems that the old slave didn't think well and forgot to prepare a doctor and a doctor in the house. He also asked the madam to punish him."

"It's because I'm not thinking carefully. It's because I was too careless. Fortunately, I still care about my health. For the sake of my face, just use a bowl of porridge."

"Thank you, Madam, for your honor."

It's true what she said about having little appetite,
  The most basic criterion for a Yangzhou thin horse is that the body is as light as a swallow and the skin is as thick as gelatin.

There are various whitening and beauty creams beside it, but this body is as light as a swallow, so I can only rely on hunger.

For many years in Lu Mansion, it has become a habit to eat only one meal at noon every day.
  Now after breakfast, I still feel a little bit uneasy with my appetite.
  In the end, the small bowl of porridge was not used up.
  The doctor girl had already arrived, so she put it down and went back to the back room.

I don’t know where Grandma Lin found it, but this medical woman is quite capable. She could tell at a glance where the injury on her neck came from.

Not only did he handle it extremely quickly, but he also saw that her body was in serious condition now.
  "Qi and blood are deficient, and there is cold syndrome inside."

Nanny Lin: "But there are some obstacles in the way of the heir?"

"You still need to have the same good health."

This is said euphemistically, but the meaning is obvious.

Gu Wanyu lowered her head, and others could not see her expression clearly.

Nanny Lin's face looked a little ugly.

"Madam, don't worry too much. You are still young. As long as you take good care of yourself, it won't matter."

The doctor girl put away the medicine box and spoke softly.

"Thank you very much. Please give me a prescription." He retracted his arm and gave Xiaohuan a look.
  Xiaohuan immediately understood, "Doctor Wu, please come this way."

The doctor girl retreated, and Granny Lin's expression had long since returned to normal, "Madam, there is no need to worry, there is no guarantee of having an heir. As long as you take good care of yourself, it will eventually come."

"That's what mama said." She nodded meekly, without pointing out that it was mama Lin who was more worried, "What are the rules of the day?"

"Madam worked hard to serve me last night. Now she is injured and her body still needs to be recuperated. As for learning the rules, it is better to wait until madam's injury is healed before mentioning it. There is no rush."

This is what she was waiting for,
  Ever since they first met yesterday, this old guy has been making rude remarks and making gestures over and over again, relying on the fact that Song Jingzhang sent her to teach her the rules.
  Rules need to be learned, but the initiative should be in her hands.

She doesn't need this kind of slave who is self-righteous, relies on his old age, and may even interfere with her plans.
  Last night, when I stabbed my neck with a hairpin in a desperate situation, I didn’t think too much.

I came up with this idea after seeing Nanny Lin's old face this morning. She should expose her heir's difficulties as early as possible so that she would know that she has no future with her. At that time, she should find a way to return to Song Jingzhang and find another way out, or stay. It's up to her, but if she really stays, she won't be allowed to act like her master again in the future.

Gu Wanyu raised her eyebrows and said, "That's fine, thank you for your consideration, mama."

Nanny Lin said "I don't dare" and then left, apparently looking for the medical woman.

A whole day, Grandma Lin did not show up.

She was also happy to be quiet, thinking of the box Song Jingzhang left last night,

Open it and take a look,
  A whole stack of thick silver notes and various small gold and silver coins,
  Upon closer inspection, there were actually a hundred thousand taels.

To be so generous, I guess I took a lot of bribes in Yangzhou.

When those wealthy businessmen saw these noble children of Sheng Jingxun, they felt as if they were meeting their ancestors. Not to mention the Yin children, even the wives and children would be more than willing to give them away if they had the slightest chance to curry favor with them.

"Xiao Huan, get the box the master gave you." She remembered that there were five hundred taels in it.

"Madam." Xiaohuan handed over the box.

Sure enough, the five hundred taels were lying nicely in the box.
  Four hundred taels of them were banknotes, and the remaining one hundred taels were divided into small and large pieces of silver scattered at the bottom.

I brushed my fingers lightly, and I felt an inexplicable sense of peace of mind in this strange place.

I couldn't help but chuckle to myself, "Money is a man's courage", this sentence is indeed true.

He took out the banknotes separately, gathered the broken pieces of silver together, and put them again into the box given by the owner.
  "Put these broken pieces of silver with you to use as daily rewards and expenses."

Just as he was about to close the lid and hand it to Xiaohuan, he noticed something wrong with his peripheral vision and couldn't help but pause.
  "Madam?" Xiao Huan stretched out her hand halfway, confused.

"Just wait."

Gu Wanyu took back the box, took out all the silver, and touched the bottom with his fingers. Sure enough, the plate was loose.

"This?" Xiaohuan was also very surprised,

The master and servant looked at each other, she raised her eyebrows, and Xiaohuan immediately sent Zhu'er and Guo'er out of the room.

Then I felt relieved and took down the partition.
  Inside was a medicine bottle and a note.
  There were only three lines on the note: One pill a month; Manager Lu of the Huifeng Restaurant in the west of the city; get pregnant as soon as possible.

Gu Wanyu's eyes fell on the medicine bottle again.
  I think this is the antidote!
  He reached out to open the medicine bottle, but only three brown pills came out.
  The joint writing was only enough for three months, plus the nearly one month of traveling, in fact, only two months of antidote were given.
  After eating, we have to go to the Huifeng Restaurant and rely on information and tasks to get the antidote.

The owner of the house is still as cruel as ever.

Xiaohuan was confused and asked cautiously: "Miss, what is this?"

"What else could it be?"

She chuckled and threw the box aside, "The antidote to the poison you took."

Looking at Xiao Huan's shocked eyes, Gu Wanyu changed her posture, propped her elbows on the soft pillow, and leaned on it,
  "Did you think that I was the one who gave you the poison?"

Xiaohuan's eyes widened,

Is not it?
  "Of course not!" Gu Wanyu stared into her eyes, "Me, Du Yueniang, and Lin Wanniang all took the medicine. We all left the house and went to Beijing. Do you think the head of the family would miss you alone?"

She and Du Yueniang were served together under the nose of the householder.
  As for Lin Wanniang, she didn't know whether she was convinced or not.
  However, she has also been trained by the family master for many years. If she only came out as a maid, it is impossible to do so, so there is a high probability that she has taken the poison.

Xiaohuan fell to his knees with a "pop" sound.
