Chapter 70: Don’t you even consider whether she has that fate?
He carefully moved his arm out and gently moved her little hand away, then the Fourth Master stood up silently.
After taking a look at the marks all over Wenjiu's body, the Fourth Master's eyes dimmed slightly. He finally took the quilt and covered her tightly, then got up and went out to wash up.
The Fourth Master washed and dressed faster today than usual, and it was still early when he finished. Before leaving, he couldn't help but go back into the tent to take a closer look at the warm wine.
Wenjiu was not sleeping very gracefully, with her whole body straddling the quilt, her little face buried in it, with only her hair sticking out. The Fourth Master was afraid that she might suffocate, so he pulled the quilt open a little.
He then covered her outstretched leg, drew the bed curtains, and instructed, "Don't disturb her rest."
Shanzha and Mrs. Song beside him responded immediately.
The Fourth Master nodded and walked out with big strides. When he reached the door, he suddenly stopped and said, "Tell the kitchen to prepare her meals with more care." He must have rarely seen good food because he usually ate in a hurry.
"Yes." Su Peisheng immediately responded with a smile.
I was very happy for Wen Jiu. To be honest, even if the master didn't give such an order, the kitchen would naturally not dare to look down on Miss Wen. Everyone knows that those people in the kitchen are used to reading the master's eyes.
However, since the master had given the order, it meant that he cared more about Miss Wen. He and the girl still had some brotherly and sisterly feelings, so he was naturally happy to see it happen.
He smiled and told Xiao Xizi beside him to go to the kitchen.
To be honest, Miss Wen is really lucky. She is sleeping soundly, but Lord Beile starts to care about her diet. When other masters go to bed, who doesn't get up early to serve them? But I have never seen Lord Beile care about her.
While he was sleeping soundly with a glass of warm wine, someone in Ruyi Pavilion had not slept all night.
Li sat on the couch by the window, her head supported by her hands, her eyes slightly closed.
The servants all around were kneeling on the ground, not daring to breathe. In the huge room, the only sound that could be heard was the ticking of the pendulum of a Western clock on a Huanghuali wood table with one leg and three teeth.
Suddenly, the curtain at the door moved, Lai Shou opened the curtain, walked in and bowed, "Master, I went to Qingliang Pavilion to take a look.
Li suddenly opened her eyes and looked at him: "Did you find out? Did you order water yesterday?"
Lai Shou nodded gently: "Indeed."
"Bitch!" Li suddenly got angry, and everything on her desk fell to the ground in pieces.
The servants guarding below were so frightened that they dared not breathe, and did not even dare to dodge when things hit them.
Everyone looked unhappy, with some of their eyes having dark circles.
Since the concubine was in a bad mood, they naturally didn't dare to sleep and stayed with her all night.
"Useless, none of them are fit for important positions!" Li's sharp eyes glanced downwards. "Who told this concubine that the Fourth Master doesn't like milk?"
When they saw her look, everyone subconsciously lowered their heads.
After a long while, a maid knelt down and took two steps. "Please forgive me, Concubine. I really don't know why Prince Baylor has suddenly become fond of milk again. I heard this news from Maid Xie in the front yard many years ago. It can't be wrong."
Li's cold gaze swept over her: "Are you saying that this concubine is wrong?"
The nanny immediately kowtowed and said, "Please forgive me, Concubine. This is definitely not what I meant. Please forgive me, Concubine."
Li glanced at her and said, "Go get your fifty strokes of the cane and teach you a lesson."
After hearing this, the nanny's eyes widened instantly. Fifty strokes of the board would cost a person's life.
"Concubine, I know I was wrong, please spare my life!" She kowtowed repeatedly, and blood instantly appeared on her forehead.
Li rubbed her brows and said, "What are you all standing there for? Hurry up and drag him away. Seeing blood so early in the morning is really unlucky."
The young eunuch behind him immediately covered the man's mouth and dragged him out of the room. The bloodstains on the ground were also wiped clean by the maids, as if this person had never been in the room.
"I see that Prince Baylor really likes eating that milk soup. I'll ask the kitchen who made it and have them send me an exact copy."
Lai Shou immediately said, "Yes."
Mrs. Li was already irritable, and seeing the frightened servants kneeling below, she felt even worse: "Laishou and Dongchan stay, the rest of you get out."
After a while, the room became quiet.
"Master, it seems that there is nothing wrong with Nanny Li. Maybe the prince is tired of it and wants to change his taste." Lai Shou advised.
Li continued to rub her forehead. "Who knows what the intentions of the person sent by the concubine are? It's better to kill the wrong person than to let him go. Remember to deal with it cleanly."
"Yes, Master, don't worry."
Li nodded and said, "Oh right, after we get the milk soup back, Dong Chan will go to the front yard and keep watch. As soon as Prince Beile comes back, you can give him the soup and tell him that it's specially made for him. Remember to see what Prince Beile's expression is."
"Yes." Dong Chan agreed immediately.
"Did Mrs. Song go to see Mrs. Fujin yesterday?"
Lai Shou nodded immediately after hearing this. "Master, you are right. Mrs. Song did go. I also heard that Miss Song looked unhappy before she went into the Fu Jin's courtyard, but when she came out, she looked quite energetic."
Li snorted coldly: "You think I don't know what he's doing?
Isn't it just that she wants to go out with the Fourth Master? With her body, she doesn't know if she will come back alive even if she goes out. The Concubine is always a good person, and she thinks that such a person can share the favor of the Concubine. She doesn't even think about it.
"Concubine, that's right." Dong Chan thought for a moment before saying, "Concubine, the Song family is nothing to be afraid of. When Prince Beile goes out this time, why not let the Song family accompany him?
The prince had always been indifferent to the Song family, but now it seemed that he treated the Wen family a little differently. As for the wife, his attitude was very ambiguous, and it was said that she had even given her some rewards.
"This time, Lord Beile will be away for at least two or three months, and at most four or five months. If Wen follows him, she might be out of our control."
Li paused while holding the teacup. "Yes, even you can see that Prince treats her differently."
Suddenly, she put down the teacup heavily: "Little bitch, you want to go out with me, but you don't even consider whether you have the chance! If I had known this would happen, I shouldn't have kept her in the first place." A fierce look flashed across Li's eyes.
In a quiet hall.
"Fujin, the prince stayed in Qingliang Pavilion yesterday. I heard that the head of Ruyi Pavilion was in a bad mood and even sent away a servant this morning. It was Nanny Li, the one you sent over during the Chinese New Year last year. When she came to report, she said that he had contracted a serious illness and died suddenly." Nanny Sun put rose hair oil on her hands and was combing Fujin's hair.
Fu Jin paused holding the comb and glanced sideways at Nanny Sun: "Sudden death?"
Nanny Sun nodded: "That's what the visitor said."
"Oh," Fu Jin continued to stroke a strand of hair on her chest, "You are so cruel."
"By the way, the kitchen said that Prince Beile had a bowl of milk soup at Li's place. Is that true?"
Nanny Sun nodded immediately, "Indeed, they say the Prince uses a very sweet one. The concubine even asked the kitchen for some milk porridge this morning."
Fu Jin nodded and said, "Remember to prepare some for Beile when he comes to eat next time."
