Chapter 409: Go with me?
Wen Jiu listened and nodded hesitantly: "Then why has she been ill for so long? I miss you and worry about her health. I can't even eat."
Xiaodouzi, who was standing beside her, twitched silently when she heard this. "We're hosting a banquet for several gentlemen this afternoon, and the young lady almost ate enough for four people by herself, which frightened Aunt Gui so much that her face turned pale."
Just now, Prince Beile asked about the girl's diet, and Nanny Song replied, "The girl ate a little less snacks today, probably because she was thinking about Prince Beile."
But the fact is that the girl ate too much at mealtime today, not too little snacks.
Or maybe their girl is smart. She laid out everything in front of the prince to prevent others from stabbing her in the back.
To be honest, the girl said it in a soft and coquettish voice. Not to mention that the girl did nothing wrong, even if she did, I would not have the heart to blame her.
He felt sorry for a eunuch like him, let alone a gentleman like the Prince.
Sure enough, the next thing he heard was Prince Beile gently say, "What's the big deal? Is it really going to make you lose your appetite and sleep? You're usually pretty brave when you're with me, but when you meet someone else, you turn into a sickly cat?"
The Fourth Master was amused and rubbed his forehead to warm the wine.
Wen Jiu pinched the Fourth Master's shoulders in a very servile manner: "You are spoiled and arrogant. Jiu'er is the treasure in my hand, but in the hands of others, she is just a concubine. Naturally, she is afraid of making mistakes."
After hearing this, the Fourth Master felt a little uncomfortable. His request to make Jiu'er a concubine failed, and she would have to suffer for a while.
He immediately pinched the mischievous little hand that was warming the wine: "Okay, stop hanging around me all the time, sit down and rest."
He waved to Xiaodouzi beside him and said, "Let Madam Sun come in."
Wenjiu immediately pulled his hand out of the Fourth Master's hand and straightened his clothes.
The Fourth Master looked at her puzzledly: "What's wrong?"
"It's not appropriate to be too rude when meeting the people in Fu Jin's courtyard."
The Fourth Master felt a little uncomfortable when his arms were empty. He stared at the warm wine for several times, but in the end he didn't move.
As they were talking, Nanny Sun came into the room with a smile on her face and bowed to the Fourth Master from a distance, saying, "Greetings, Lord Beile. May you be blessed."
The Fourth Master waved his hand, indicating that there was no need to formality.
Nanny Sun gently supported her and said, "Miss, are you okay?"
"Did the Lady tell you what it was about?" asked the Fourth Master.
Nanny Sun replied immediately, "Just now, Miss Liu came to our Jinghao Hall to cry again. She is too weak, and Fu Jin can't say anything or scold her. Miss Liu keeps saying that it was Miss Wen who harmed her. Fu Jin is at her wit's end and would like to ask for your advice, Lord Beile." Nanny Sun said this, glancing at Wen Jiu with a vague look. She was secretly surprised. Lord Beile protected her like the apple of his eye. If you think about it carefully, it has been quite some time since he last saw Miss Wen. Why did he think she looked even more beautiful?
The Fourth Master frowned slightly when he heard this: "It's just a small matter. Let the Lady make the decision."
After hearing this, Nanny Sun immediately smiled and said, "Beile can trust Fu Jin, Fu Jin must be happy. In fact, Fu Jin originally did not want me to disturb Beile. Fu Jin said that Beile, you have finally returned home and you should rest well.
It's just that Princess Liu is making such a fuss right now, and Fu Jin is worried about Prince Beile's health. Thinking that Prince Beile will be going on a southern tour soon, she's already listed all the things you need to bring, just waiting for you to take a look."
As she said this, there was a hint of uneasiness in her eyes. She was not sure whether the prince would go over.
The Fourth Master nodded and said, "In that case, let's go."
As soon as these words came out, Madam Sun responded with a smile on her face. She glanced at the wine warmer with a vague look.
She thought to herself, it doesn't matter how these concubines succeed, in this backyard, only their wife is the real master.
The Fourth Master suddenly turned around and looked at Wen Jiu: "Do you want to go with me to take a look?"
Wen Jiu was stunned: "Huh?"
The smile on Nanny Sun's face faded a little, and she couldn't help but look at the Fourth Master carefully.
The Fourth Master just casually picked up a cloak and put it on Wen Jiu, and slowly helped her mark the buttons of the cloak: "Let's go and take a look."
After saying that, he held Wenjiu's hand and took her out of Qingliang Pavilion. Wenjiu was pulled by the Fourth Master and faced the cold face of Nanny Sun in a daze.
The sight of this nanny hiding behind him and glaring at people looked a bit eerie. Wen Jiu simply ignored her and followed the Fourth Master slowly towards Jinghao Hall.
In fact, Nanny Sun was not in a good mood at the moment, especially when she saw the Fourth Master pulling the wine warmer's hand.
The prince has never been interested in women. Even if he favored his concubine a little in the past, he never acted like this.
It would be fine if Wenjiu was just an ordinary concubine, but unfortunately she is favored by Concubine De. The last time she entered the palace, the Emperor seemed very kind to her. If the rumors in the mansion are true, and Wenjiu is really pregnant, there will be endless troubles in the future. It is better for Concubine Fu to deal with it as soon as possible.
There is a distance from Qingliang Pavilion to Jinghao Hall. The Fourth Master was still concerned about Wenjiu's health, so he walked slowly with her all the way.
The weather was good today, with a gentle breeze. The two of them walked slowly and leisurely for a full three-quarters of an hour before reaching Jinghao Hall. Behind them, Nanny Sun's face was as black as the bottom of a pot.
As he walked through the doorway, the scent of medicine hit him.
There were two people in the house near the river, and they immediately stood up and greeted each other.
Liu's eyes were red, obviously she had just cried. In just half a month, she looked dull. Her thick black hair had turned slightly yellow, and her lips were frighteningly white. She looked listless. While paying her respects, she even coughed twice.
Wen Jiu saw Liu and couldn't help but frown. What was going on? Liu had framed him and made herself look like this?
No woman would do such a thing that is not worth the loss, right?
Wen Jiu couldn't help but look at Ulanara, but saw that she was dressed very appropriately today, with delicate makeup and hairstyle. She was obviously well prepared in such a gorgeous outfit.
At this moment, Ulanara smiled gently as she offered the Fourth Master a cup of tea. She added, "Lord Beile, Sister Liu's health is getting worse. I really have no other choice but to ask you to come and take a look. I hope I didn't disturb Lord Beile and Sister Wen. Please don't blame me, Sister." As she spoke, she nodded and smiled gently at Wen Jiu, and pushed a small plate of crab roe pastry towards Wen Jiu. "Sister, have some snacks. Consider it my apology to you as your wife."
Upon hearing this, Wen Jiu subconsciously looked towards the Fourth Master. She wanted to see what the Fourth Master would say.
