Second-hand lady

Chapter 52

The moon is in the dark clouds, the night wind is howling, and the world is a gloomy darkness.

When she was vaguely awakened by the heat, she found that the culprit was the person hugging her. He exuded an unbelievable heat, and when she reached out to touch that person's scorching skin, she immediately regained consciousness.

Being hugged tightly, as if she had become a life-saving driftwood, her waist was pinched with pain.But she didn't care about the pain anymore, Miss Rucui leaned closer to the man's neck, her voice was still a little hoarse after waking up, calling out: "Master Wen, you are sick, let me go..."

The person next to her was sleeping extremely unsteadily, feeling that the person she was hugging for warmth was restless, and tightened her hands more and more, strangling her almost out of breath.It was probably because she was struggling so much that he was annoyed, so he patted her butt with his big hand, and said vaguely: "...don't make trouble."

Miss Rucui was silent for a while, understanding that he is now a patient, cleared her throat, and said politely: "Master Wen, please let me go, I'm going to the toilet!"

"..."

Miss Rucui struggled and got out of bed, put on her shoes and fumbled to light up the lamp on the table, and looked at the man on the bed with the lamp, in the orange light, the crimson jade face exuded a sense of coquettishness, It is different from the usual elegant and elegant demeanor, which makes people's heart throbbing.But Miss Rucui was obviously not in the mood to admire the sickly demon man at this time, she was worried, she quickly put down the bed curtain to cover the cold air outside, and ran out.

"Tsing Yi, Tsing Yi, Mr. Wen is sick, please send someone to call the imperial physician."

The male master of the mansion fell ill, and everyone in Wen's mansion was quarreled.

The butler, Uncle Ming, hurried over in his clothes and stood at the door of the inner room to beg for an audience. After getting permission, he walked in carefully. Seeing the woman sitting in front of the bed applying a cold towel to the patient on the bed, he hurriedly asked, "Ma'am, what's the matter, young master?" How is it?"

"The fever doesn't go away." Miss Rucui pursed her lips and said, with a little melancholy on her brows.

Hearing this, Uncle Ming became even more anxious, "Ma'am, did you call the imperial physician?"

Ru Cui glanced at him, knowing that the butler was confused, and said patiently: "Now that the palace has been locked, I can't enter the palace to call the imperial doctor. I'll send someone to find a doctor in the city."

Tsing Yi, who was washing towels at the side, glanced at her. Someone was also one of the confused members just now.

The man on the bed slept extremely unsteadily, his brows were tightly frowned, and his eyes were half-opened from time to time, the pupils were completely out of focus.At this time, Miss Rucui would lean her head over and smile at him, calling him softly, and when he found out who the person in front of the bed was, she would show a somewhat childish smile, grab her hand and continue to close her eyes.

Butler Ming felt inexplicably sad.

The doctor came very quickly, and the guards who went to invite the doctor almost brought the old doctor here.The doctor was tormented very uncomfortably. He wanted to get angry at first, but before he breathed a sigh of relief, he was pushed to the bed again, and a female voice said hurriedly: "Doctor, don't procrastinate, take a quick look." How is my husband?"

The old doctor glanced at it, and said calmly: "It's just a cold, there's nothing to be nervous about."

Miss Rucui was worried, "Doctor, a minor illness can turn into a serious illness if you are not careful! Even just contracting the cold is very serious for my husband. He is no more noble than those casual men and women." A little injury is a big deal, don't you think so, doctor." After all, Mrs. Wen of her family is very delicate. "Hey, doctor, we went to your pharmacy to bandage the wound today. You said at that time that nothing serious happened. Why did you catch the cold?"

The doctor, who was made a little silly by her series of questions, finally saw the appearance of the sick man on the bed. Isn't it the man who almost broke the threshold of his medicine hall by the young girl when he appeared today?It is really a crime for a man to be born with such a beautiful face, even if he has married a wife, he is still a scourge, causing his medicine hall to be in chaos. Buying medicine all the time, just to stay a little longer and see this man more.And this man came to the door today with a wound on his forehead. Although the wound on his white and jade-like forehead did not destroy his beauty, it still made the little girls furious and cursed the person who dared to hurt him. The doctor could only shake his head and sigh.

"Little madam, don't worry, let Lao Mu take a look first."

The doctor can only comfort the girl who is so anxious that she is about to tear his clothes and question her loudly, and then go to see the patient.

It is true that he just contracted the wind-cold, and the high fever caused by the wind-cold, as long as he is allowed to reduce the fever.

"Be careful not to let the patient's temperature rise again. When cooling him down, you should also pay attention not to let him be blown by the wind, so as not to let the high fever persist. I will prescribe the side medicine first and ask the patient to drink it, and then we will see the situation. .”

While the doctor was talking, she prescribed the medicine. Miss Rucui listened carefully to the precautions. Since there was no complete pharmacy in the mansion, the guards had to follow the doctor back to the medicine hall to get the medicine.

"Doctor, I'm very worried about my husband. You can rest in the mansion today, and I will send you back tomorrow. That's it, doctor, go back quickly."

"..."

The corner of the old doctor's mouth twitched as he watched someone finish speaking on his own, and then rushed to the bed to change the head towel for the patient on the bed, doing it himself and not letting the maid take over.The old doctor had no choice but to go back to the medicine hall to grab the medicine with a sullen face and follow the guards who had carried him earlier.

"Really, young people are frizzy when they do things. There is no need to be so nervous..." The old doctor muttered.

Hearing the old doctor's complaint, the guard hurriedly clarified the matter for his wife, and said, "Doctor, my wife is usually nice to others, but she is a little anxious when it's about the adults. This is also my wife's respect for the adults. And adults really can't get sick, otherwise..." The Queen Mother, the Emperor, Su Wang, and Zhen Guogong are all in a hurry... Any one of these big men can crush people to death.

The doctor was startled, squinting his old eyes and asked, "Who is your lord?" When the guards came over to invite someone earlier, they only said that their lord was sick, but didn't say who it was.Because it was dark, he was carried directly into Wen's mansion by the guards, so the doctor didn't notice where he was, and naturally he didn't know the identity of the sick person. He thought it was the young master of some powerful family, and Seeing how young he looked, he guessed in his heart that he might be a small official who had just started serving.

The guard smiled at the doctor, with a proud expression on his simple and honest face, "My lord is exactly Mr. Wen Liangwen, the grand master of the court, and also the emperor's military adviser."

Miss Rucui cooled Wen Liang according to the doctor's instructions, seeing his restless sleep, she felt a numb pain in her heart.

She felt that it was Duke Zhen's fault that Wen Liang caught the wind and cold. If he hadn't hit Wen Liang with a teacup today and splashed his clothes wet, he wouldn't have caught a cold because he didn't change in time.But Zhen Guogong is her husband's biological father, and also the father-in-law she wants to be filial to, and she can't show dissatisfaction and anger, otherwise she will be called unfilial.

However, she really felt that Mr. Wen would sleep so restlessly now, it must be the father and son's quarrel today.Or blame yourself for causing their quarrel?But no matter how generous she was, she couldn't agree that her father-in-law wanted her husband to divorce her.

At this moment, there was another rush of footsteps outside the door. Yu Sheng, who was only wearing a thin coat, helped an old lady over. Both of them asked about the situation anxiously, and Tsing Yi answered them one by one.

"Okay, how did the third young master get sick?" the old woman asked sadly, wiping her tears.The old lady is Yu Nai in the Duke of Zhen's mansion, she is Yusheng's biological mother, she was originally a maid beside Wen Liang's mother, and when Wen Liang was born, she happened to give birth to a child, so it was arranged by the former wife of the Duke of Zhen. Being Wen Liang's nanny made Wen Liang respect her very much and regard her as his elder.After Wen Liang got married, she took Madam Yu into the mansion to take care of her.

Miss Rucui replied, "Nurse Yu, it may be that your husband got wet when he was injured today, and then he got sick because of the cold wind when he went out. It's all my fault, I didn't notice that your husband was sick." There is also a bit of self-blame in the voice.

During the day, they left without attending the banquet at the Duke of Zhen's mansion. Miss Rucui was worried at the time, so she dragged him to a medicine hall for the doctor to see the injury. I didn't care about it, and it was fine until I went to bed at night, but who knew that I would have a high fever after sleeping until midnight.

The housekeeper knew about Wen Liang's injury in the Duke of Zhen's mansion, but Nanny Yu and Yu Sheng didn't know about it. Hearing her narration at this time, they knew that their young master probably had a quarrel with Duke Zhen again. This time, Duke Zhen actually injured his son directly, which surprised them a little. Although Duke Zhen had also violated the family law when Wen Liang was naughty when he was a child, it rarely happened since Wen Liang went to the border.

Nanny Yu's tears flowed more fiercely, and she sobbed: "How can the master do this... The third young master is his child... Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ..." As he spoke, he covered his mouth and sobbed, as if thinking of the deceased former Mrs. Zhen Guogong, and felt even more sad.

Those present who heard Mama Yu's cry felt uncomfortable, Miss Rucui was afraid that she would cry and hurt her body when she was old, so she hurriedly comforted her.

"Why did the third young master get hurt? Third young lady, why didn't you stop them then?" Yu Sheng couldn't help asking with red eyes.

Mother Yu was taken aback, and said sharply, "Yu Sheng!"

But Yusheng ignored her, staring at Rucui, lost her usual calmness and gentleness, resentful, and there was a strong sadness in her eyes.

Ru Cui didn't pay attention to her, removed the already hot wet towel covering Wen Liang's head, and said casually: "Are you questioning me?"

"I didn't mean to question Madam." Yu Sheng said with a suppressed voice: "It's just... I know the pain in the heart of the third young master. The master is the biological father of the third young master, and the third young master also respects him in his heart. It's just that some things made their father and son It's just that you can't sit down and talk calmly. As the third young master's wife, you should have persuaded the third young master at that time not to let him be at odds with the master, which is not good for the third young master... "

Ru Cui threw the wet towel to Tsing Yi, looked up at her, and said calmly: "You don't even know why they are arguing, and what did you say to persuade your husband? Yu Sheng, don't forget your identity!"

Yusheng's face froze, staring at her with cracked eye sockets, she hated in her heart: I just know my identity, so I have stayed in Zhenguo Gongfu for the past ten years to take care of him secretly for the third young master. thing!Instead of being a maid like you who broke the rules, seduced my young master, and then became the mistress of this mansion! ! !My young master should be worthy of a more beautiful girl, not a woman of inferior birth! ! !

"I……."

"Yu Sheng, how can you talk to Madam like that?!" Yu Nam said angrily.

Yusheng's face became more and more rigid, and after a long while, she finally lowered her eyes to cover up the emotions inside, and said in a hoarse voice: "Miss Third Young Master, it's my slave who made a mistake." After speaking, Yusheng knelt down, and said in a low voice: "It's just The slave is really worried about the third young master. The third young master has had a hard time these years. The slave... only hopes that the third young master is well. After all, the master is the third young master's biological father. No matter what, there is no overnight feud between father and son. Madame will persuade the third young master more from now on."

Ru Cui ignored her, and carefully wiped off the cold sweat off the face of the person on the bed. Suddenly, she couldn't help being stunned at the pair of open peach eyes, but saw him showing a soft smile to her, and her heart was filled with inexplicable... joy.

He took the hand she put on his forehead and rubbed it against his lips. His fair face was flushed sickly, but his eyes were very clear, and the smile on his lips never faded.

Rucui tried her best to suppress the joy in her heart, and said coldly: "Yusheng, I don't need others to teach me how to do it! You just do your own thing well. This time, it's just because you really care about your husband. , if you also cross the distance like this next time, don't blame me for not being sympathetic."

Hearing this warning, Housekeeper Ming stood aside tactfully and did not say a word, while Nanny Yu was taken aback and said panickedly: "Ma'am, Yusheng was just confused for a while, and she will never do it again in the future! Yusheng, why don't you?" Don't you thank Madam for your tolerance?"

Yusheng put on a wooden face, bit her lip and said nothing.

At this time, a hoarse voice sounded: "You all step back, let the lady serve here."

Hearing this voice, everyone was overjoyed and looked up into the bed.At this moment, Wen Liang stood up with Ru Cui's arms, his long black hair was hanging down his chest, his pale and sickly face was so shockingly beautiful that people dare not look directly at it.

Yusheng looked at the man leaning on the bed, he had seen such a sickness many years ago, maybe in the year his wife passed away, he was crying in the mourning hall, and after waking up, he fell ill and almost lost his shape Gu Li felt a pang of pain in his heart, and slowly lowered his head.

"I'm much better, I'm worrying you. Housekeeper Ming, Yumao, go and rest first, don't exhaust your body because of me." The voice was a little breathless, as if it was very difficult to say these words, and then said: "Yusheng , what happened just now, I don't want to have a next time."

Yusheng's face was instantly pale as snowflakes outside, and she lowered her head for a while and responded softly.
