stern wife

Chapter 75
Just at this moment, a figure sneaked out from behind the corner, clutching his chest with one hand, it seemed that there was some very valuable treasure hidden inside, making the person look around worriedly while walking towards the booth , for fear of being discovered by someone.

The boy's eyes lit up, and he warmly stepped forward to say hello:
"My lord, do you also want to appraise treasures?"

The man handed a penny to the servant, and said in a very low voice:
"Yes."

"Please come inside."

The boy opened the curtain to let the man in.

Not long after, an old man's voice came from inside, saying:

"Xiao Lin, help me go to the shop and ask for a bowl of hot tea."

The little servant immediately responded with joy, turned around and walked into the next shop, asked the shopkeeper for a pot of hot tea and two clean teacups, and before handing them over to the old man inside the curtain, he kept He took out a paper bag from his sleeve, threw all the contents of the paper bag into the teapot tremblingly, shook it, then handed the teapot and cup in, and said with a smile:
"Master, be careful, it's hot."

"Well, you go out first, I still have something to talk to this distinguished guest."

"Yes."

After the boy left, the old man inside lifted the teapot and filled the two cups with tea.

The tea water is green and the tea smoke curls up, dispelling some of the cold air.

The old man glanced at a palm-sized jade pendant on the table, smiled at the man very kindly, and said:
"I haven't seen this thing before, so I have to take a good look at it, lest I give you a wrong estimate. You should have a cup of tea first to drive away the cold."

The man did not doubt that he had a light drink of tea, and stammered and asked:
"Shopkeeper, shopkeeper, how much can this thing be worth?"

The old man picked up the jade pendant, moved it to the lighted candle, carefully examined the patterns on it, and comforted him with a smile:
"No rush, no rush, but it's a valuable item..."

In Pei's mansion, Cailuan walked towards Pei Youmin's yard excitedly. As soon as she entered the door, Pei Youmin immediately sent the others down, and asked anxiously:
"But what happened to Pei Xiaoran?"

"No," Cailuan couldn't hide her joy, and said:
"The servant waited outside for a whole day, and found that Miss Six had never stepped out of the house today! I heard from people that the Eldest Young Master went to the camp to practice martial arts today, and the Third Young Master stayed in his room to read, and did not out the door."

"Really?" Pei Youmin stood up with a face full of surprise, and then asked in doubt:

"Then Pei Xiaoran will obediently stay in the house and not go out, you will not be exposed, you will be deceived by her tricks, right? After all, today is her deadline!"

Cailuan raised three fingers and said:
"No, absolutely not! This servant can swear to God! This servant saw Ling Yu, Miss Six's personal maid, go to the kitchen to fetch food for Miss Six, and even pretended to ask her about Miss Six's situation by chance. Ling Yu said, Miss Six's health today It doesn't seem to be very comfortable, so I have been lying on the bed and didn't get off, maybe it was caused by catching a cold when I went out yesterday..."

"Not feeling well?"

Pei Youmin suddenly laughed out loud, clapped her hands and said:
"Okay, okay, it seems that even God won't help her!"

There was an incomparable joy in her heart, and she said in a brisk tone:

"Let's get a good night's sleep tonight, and watch a good show tomorrow."

Cailuan was blessed, and responded with a smile:

"Yes!"

The cold night was short, and it seemed that dawn had dawned just after falling asleep.

Pei Xiaoran slowly opened his eyelids, his body felt hot and cold, heavy and weak, and it was difficult to even move his fingers.

But she still used her will to support her body and sat up, raised her hand to touch her forehead, it was hot.

She didn't ask anyone to come in, and she didn't intend to ask someone to call the doctor. She just took out a short and sharp arrow from her sleeve, and stabbed it fiercely into her calf.

Suddenly, a sharp pain hit her, which instantly cleared her drowsy head a lot.

Fearing that the pain would pass soon, she gritted her teeth and stabbed the other leg several times before finally pulling out the arrow and throwing it aside, her little face that was burned and red had already turned into a scar. pale.

But she didn't feel it at all, she just turned around and took out the gauze from the hidden compartment at the head of the bed with difficulty, wrapping the wound up skillfully.

After doing all this, she got off the bed, walked slowly to the door, opened the door, and glanced outside.

The sky has begun to light up, and a new day has begun, and I don't know what happened to the things she asked her uncle to do.

Just as he was thinking, he saw a woman who was in charge of guarding the gate coming towards him cursing, with a look of anger and impatience that someone disturbed her dream.

When she got closer and saw Pei Xiaoran standing at the door, the mother-in-law was startled, and seeing that Pei Xiaoran's face was pale without a trace of blood, like a little paper man tied in a coffin shop, she was so shocked that she backed away again and again After several steps, he fell to the ground.

She was born obese, and this fall was so strong that she couldn't help crying out in pain.

Pei Xiaoran couldn't help laughing, he suppressed his smile and asked with great concern:
"What's wrong with Mammy? But what's wrong with your legs?"

As soon as she opened her mouth, she finally had a bit of vitality in her body. The woman patted her buttocks and stood up, carefully looked at her for a while, and after confirming that she was alive, she smiled and said:

"Why did Sixth Miss get up so early? I startled the servant."

"It's not too late for Mammy to get up, but what's the matter?"

"Oh," being so frightened that she almost forgot the serious business, the mother-in-law couldn't help but rolled her eyes at Pei Xiaoran, and said with a smile on her face:
"The person at the porter said that someone wanted to see Miss Six. They said they were from the Wu family. Look, Miss Six..."

"Call him in."

"Yes, wait a moment."

The mother-in-law wiped the cold sweat from her forehead, turned around and left quickly, as if a dog was chasing after her.

The yard was quiet, the servants were still sleeping, Pei Xiaoran didn't call anyone, went back to the house, took a wooden basin and a cloth towel, went to the well in the yard to fetch water to wash.

The well water is not cold, and it even feels warm in this bitingly cold morning. Pei Xiaoran was carefully wiping the blood on his hands with a cloth towel, when he saw a man who looked like a servant walking behind the mother-in-law come over.

Before the boy could speak, Pei Xiaoran asked:

"But uncle asked you to come?"

The boy hurriedly said: "Yes."

"Have you got something?"

"Yes." The servant carefully took out something wrapped in a brocade handkerchief from his arms, and handed it over with both hands.

Pei Xiaoran raised his hand to take it, touched the shape, a smile burst out from the corner of his mouth, and said:

"Uncle Lao, go back and help me to thank him well."
