Chapter 29029 Happy Event

Meier swallowed her saliva and continued: "Six days ago in the afternoon, Aunt Cui came to the slave and asked the slave to shut up and not say a word no matter what she saw. She also gave the slave five hundred taels. She asked the slave to go home with the money... and said that in a few days, she would go to help the slave to ask for grace and release the slave. "

Meier was too ashamed to look directly at Chu Qianchen.

Five hundred taels, she would never be able to save so much money in her entire life.

So, she was excited at the moment, thinking that with so much money, she could buy a few acres of fertile land and find an honest man to marry. In the future, her children would be good citizens.

Mei'er lowered her face slightly and continued, "This slave will agree."

"Mama Cui asked the slave to pretend to be sick and come home first. She also told the slave to buy more food and not to go out for the next few days. She said that she would come to the slave after she has finished the matter."

"The slave listened to her words and didn't leave even an inch."

Meier asked for leave from the housekeeper and bought some food, planning to stay at home these days and not go out.

But not long after, she suddenly started to have nosebleeds. At first she thought it was because of the dry weather, but then the nosebleeds became more and more serious.

Slaves like them who serve others cannot afford to be treated like doctors. From childhood to adulthood, whenever they get sick, they have to endure it. Whether it is wind, cold or fever, if they stay up for a few more days, the disease will naturally get better. Meier originally thought that it would be the same this time. , she would get better in a few days, but the result was that she was getting heavier day by day... When she realized that she might not be able to bear it anymore, she was already so sick that she didn't even have the strength to go out and see a doctor.

When Chu Qianchen heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief. Mei'er hadn't been out in the past few days, so this matter would be easier to handle.

Presumably, Aunt Cui also knew the seriousness of the "Seven Days Hidden Day", so she coaxed Mei'er not to go out, lest the disease spread and cause uncontrollable trouble.

Mei'er in her previous life should have died quietly in the "Seven Days Hidden" like this.

She was just a maid in the Hou Mansion, insignificant. What's more, at this time in the previous life, the entire Hou Mansion was immersed in the grief of Chu Yunmu's death, and no one cared about the death of a little maid.

Chu Qianchen asked sharply: "Last time, you told me that you saw the eldest girl at the rockery, but why did Aunt Cui come to find you and seal your mouth?"

"This slave doesn't know." Meier shook her head in confusion.

She really doesn't know!

Chu Qianchen stared into Mei'er's eyes and asked again: "What exactly did you see that day? Tell me in detail."

Mei'er said tremblingly: "That day, my servant happened to be cleaning by the lake, and from a distance I saw the eldest girl walking by the rockery on the other side of the lake..."

"Are you sure you are a big girl? Can you see clearly?" Chu Qianchen asked again.

"This..." Meier tried hard to recall the scene at that time, "What the slave girl saw at that time was only her back, but she didn't see the person's face clearly. Only her figure was the same as that of the older girl, and she was also wearing fiery red clothes.褙子…”

Chu Qianchen nodded and motioned for her to continue.

Meier continued: "The slave didn't pay attention at the time and continued cleaning. After a while, she saw the fourth young master climbing up the rockery alone to pick up the paper kites. The slave only thought that the fourth young master was with the eldest girl, so she didn't go there. Then, the Fourth Young Master fell off the rockery..."

Thinking of that scene at that time, Meier was still a little frightened.

Chu Qianchen pondered for a moment and then asked: "Mother Chen came to see you a few days ago, right? Did you tell her that you didn't see anything?"

Meier became more and more ashamed and nodded, "I regret it..." After saying these words, Meier's energy and energy that she had just brought up suddenly disappeared again, and she leaned weakly on the pillow behind her. .

After asking all the questions, Chu Qianchen said no more. She walked to the window and opened it. A wisp of cool wind blew in from the window, blowing away the blood and death that filled the room.

The room fell into silence until Amber came back, bringing with him the steaming hot soup that had just been cooked.

Chu Qianchen motioned to Amber to put the medicine on the bedside. After Amber returned, she said to Mei'er, "Drink the medicine."

Meier struggled to sit up from the couch. The white tunic on her body was still stained with blood that had not dried up. She looked haggard and embarrassed.

She picked up the decoction with trembling hands, and the strong aroma of the medicine poured into her nose, bringing hope of life.

The bitter decoction went down her throat and into her stomach. Soon, Mei'er felt warm all over her body, and even her cold limbs gradually became warmer, as if she had been pulled back from the gate of hell.

"Second girl..."

After putting down the empty medicine bowl, Meier raised her head and looked at Chu Qianchen by the window. Chu Qianchen was wearing a curtain hat, and the green veil hanging around the hat blocked her face. The spring breeze was gently blowing the veil. Then she danced gracefully, and half of the girl's pretty face behind the veil was vaguely visible.

The golden sunlight shone on her face, her bright eyes, white teeth, slender eyebrows and red lips, which even eclipsed the peach blossoms blooming outside the window, and the girl's face was dazzling.

Chu Qianchen said: "You have to drink this prescription for three more days. I will deliver medicine to you every day. Here are the pastries that Amber just bought. You can eat it first. But you have to remember that you must not Take a step away from this room, do you understand?"

Her voice was calm, but to Mei'er's ears it was like the sound of nature.

Mei'er knew that only the second girl could save her, so she nodded in agreement: "I will listen to you, girl."

She wants to live, she wants to live!

After the things that needed to be done were done, Chu Qianchen didn't stay any longer and said, "I'll leave first and come back to see you tomorrow."

Let Mei'er talk to her aunt about the rest of the matter after she recovers.

This matter not only involved Chu Qianhuang, but also Aunt Jiang. It was inconvenient for me to get involved.

After leaving the house, Chu Qianchen motioned to Amber to lock the door from the outside in case Meier broke her promise.

The movement here caused the woman living next door to poke her head in and look around curiously.

Chu Qianchen gave instructions to Hu Hu. After taking off his hat, Hu Hu walked over and stuffed the woman with a tael of silver and said, "Are you from Wang Dacheng's family? Help me keep an eye on Mei'er." , If she goes out without permission, come into the house and talk to me."

This is one tael of silver! Wang Dacheng's eyes lit up instantly, and he immediately patted his chest and agreed. He took the money and said, "Don't worry, Miss Hubo, I'll keep a close eye on you. Even if King Chen returns to the capital, I won't go watch the excitement." !”

Chu Qianchen, who was a few steps away, felt his heart skip a beat and interrupted, "Is King Chen going back to Beijing?"

There was a tremor in her voice that she didn't even notice.

"Yes, yes!" The members of Wang Dacheng's family nodded repeatedly, guessing that this girl wearing a curtain hat was most likely the second girl, and replied diligently, "The imperial court has issued an official document, and King Chen has arrived in Jizhou. There are still three days. You can enter Beijing. I just came back from Qianqian Street, and everyone is talking about it."
