Chapter 23 Three more pills
  It’s good to wait for the future.

Gu Wanyu put down her teacup and stood up. She originally wanted to call Xiaohuan and Zhuer to come in and help them wash themselves.
  But just after taking two steps, I suddenly remembered something,

After thinking for a moment, he raised his voice and said, "Xiaohuan!"

Xiaohuan immediately walked in quickly, "Madam."

Gu Wanyu saw that there was no one else behind her, so she waved.
  Xiaohuan came forward,
  "You also saw it at the beginning. There are only three pills of the antidote, and each person needs to take one pill every month. Last month, you and I took two pills. Now, there is only one pill left."

Xiaohuan's expression suddenly changed, and she raised her eyes and looked carefully.
  "What do you mean, ma'am?"

"Don't worry too much. The head of the family left a note. You can go to the Huifeng Restaurant in the west of the city to find Manager Lu. It's hard for me to leave the house. Even if I do, there will be people watching."

"This slave understands that there is no need for the master to go there in person. This slave can just go and investigate."

Gu Wanyu nodded, "You can go tomorrow. Tell the public that I gave you a day off. Let's see what's going on. Let's find out first."

"If Manager Lu asks about it, he will tell me that I was given by the Marquis to the noble young master with whom I have made friends. Let's see how he reacts."

"Slaves save it."

The next day,

Gu Wanyu, who thought she was missing only a small ring, suddenly found that there was only a bamboo left beside her.
  Guoer, on the other hand, has always been waiting in front of the door to deliver messages and would not come in easily.

"Why don't you see Nanny Lin?"

"Go back to Madam, it seems that there was some accident at home, Nanny Lin, and she left the house in a hurry yesterday afternoon."

"Nanny Lin's home is in Beijing."

"Yes, it's just in the west of the city. As for the details, I don't know."

Gu Wanyu nodded, her eyes closed in deep thought, "I didn't think carefully. I thought that Aunt Lin and you were both around, so I gave Xiaohuan a day off. I didn't expect that Aunt Lin There is something going on at home, so you have to do a lot of work."

Zhu'er blinked,

Did it turn out that Nanny Lin was leaving the house without informing her in advance?
  Grandma Lin was really too bold.
  Even if the wife is just a concubine, she is also the master who I have personally ordered to serve. How could she...

Then he came back to his senses and shook his head fiercely, "There's nothing wrong with me, slave. This is my job, not to mention working hard."

"Well, in my courtyard, you and Guo'er are the only ones who are the most down-to-earth and reliable. Later, go to my dowry to get two golden peanuts. You and Guo'er can take one together and play with it."

Gu Wanyu sighed softly and turned to look for the chess records.
  Zhu'er bit her lip and finally said, "Thank you, madam."

When Xiaohuan came back, he found that the atmosphere in the room was strangely calm.

He silently bowed and bowed, before he spoke,
  Then he heard his master coming towards him and said,

"You're done having fun outside, are you happy?"

Xiaohuan blinked, a little confused.
  When he caught Zhu'er's gaze from the corner of his eye and saw that there was no sign of Nanny Lin in the room, he understood what she meant.
  Immediately, he stepped forward with a cautious smile and said, "Madam, don't be upset. I was fascinated by the scenery of Shengjing for a while, so I came back late. Please forgive me, madam."

"Oh, I didn't know that there was something going on at Nanny Lin's house. After you went out, you found that Zhu'er was the only one left in the room. It doesn't matter whether I'm upset or not. I'm just going to suffer a lot for her today."

Gu Wanyu put down the book in her hand, raised her index finger and tapped her forehead.
  "You, you have been spoiled by me on weekdays. Why don't you go and make Zhu'er suffer?"

Xiaohuan smiled shyly, stepped forward and took Zhu'er's hand, "Good sister, it's my fault that I am ignorant. Ever since I left the house last time and saw the scenery of Shengjing, I have been remembering it. I beg Madam to let her go for a day." It's your day off, go out and take a look, I've worked hard on you today, please forgive me, sister."

Saying this, he blessed Zhu'er,

After all, Zhu'er was still young and thin-skinned. She acted like this in front of Gu Wanyu, so she couldn't keep her face off.
  "Why is Sister Xiaohuan like this? It's nothing more than a trivial matter. A servant is a maid, and it is her duty to serve her master." "As long as my sister doesn't annoy me, it's fine. I'll embroider a purse for my sister another day."

Xiaohuan opened her clever mouth and coaxed Zhu'er into smiling with a few words. She took her hand and called her sister. At the same time, there was a hint of dissatisfaction with Grandma Lin in her heart.

Seeing that it was almost done, Gu Wanyu smiled slightly and said, "Okay, since Zhu'er is generous and doesn't care about you, I will spare you."

"Zhu'er has worked hard today, so let's go down and rest first. And Guo'er, please tell her to go back to the room together. Xiao Huan will be here to take care of her."

Zhu'er said a few more polite words, and seeing that she really wanted him to go down and rest, he called Guo'er and left with a lot of thanks.

The room returned to calm, with only one or two nightingales chirping in the distance.

Gu Wanyu picked up the tea cup, took a sip, and then spoke quietly,
  "how?"

The matter between Nanny Lin and Zhu'er and Guo'er was just a sideshow.

Neither the master nor the servant cared about it.

It was just for others, even Song Jingzhang to see.

Xiao Huan also calmed down his thoughts and reported: "Master, you have guessed. I went to Huifeng Restaurant to find Manager Lu. The first thing he did was to ask you why you didn't go to Yong'an Marquis Mansion."

Gu Wanyu smiled contemptuously and said nothing else.

"continue."

"As soon as I followed your instructions, Steward Lu's expression suddenly turned ugly, especially when he heard that I was just the young master of the Xungui family. His expression made him want to drive this servant out."

"According to the master's instructions, I was supposed to deliver the news in exchange for the antidote, but you did this."

Xiao Huan raised his head to look at her, and then continued: "But Manager Lu also knew that you couldn't find out any news about the Yong'an Marquis Mansion here, so he gave the slave a medicine bottle."

"Let me tell you to find a way to find out the identity of the master as soon as possible, or find a way to attach yourself to a powerful nobleman."

After saying that, Xiaohuan took out a medicine bottle from his sleeve and presented it.

Gu Wanyu took it and opened it to take a look.
  Still three pills.

He took one pill casually, poured the remaining two pills back into the bottle, and handed them back to Xiaohuan.
  "Take it yourself and take it for the month as soon as possible to avoid suffering from the poison again."

"Thank you madam," Xiaohuan said with a grateful face, holding the medicine bottle tightly.

After coming back to his senses, he asked cautiously: "Madam, what did Manager Lu say?"

Gu Wanyu sneered and held her forehead, "I'll think of a way, you go down first."

Xiaohuan left quietly,

Gu Wanyu supported her forehead with one hand and played with the antidote with the other, gradually becoming lost in thought.

That night,

In a villa on the outskirts of Beijing,

Song Jingzhang gathered here with his staff and several ministers who followed him, drinking tea and talking.
  "Your Highness, I'm sorry, I'm late." Marquis Yong'an came over in a hurry, bowed his hands in greeting,
  Song Jingzhang waved his hand casually, "It's a small matter, sit down."

Marquis Yong'an sat down, picked up the teacup and drank a few sips.
  It really looked like he was late unintentionally and rushed here in a hurry.
  Several staff members looked at each other and remained silent.

Mr. Li, the Minister of Household Affairs, laughed and took the lead in saying:
