Chapter 445 Leaving the House (Part 2)

Looking at Cui'er's feet dangling in the air, Aunt Qin understood everything.

Although malaria is serious, it is not incurable. She is still young, so why would she die?

Aunt Qin felt stars in her eyes, her stomach made a buzzing sound, and she passed out.

When she woke up, it was already dusk.

The room was quiet. The two maids who usually served her were sitting outside the door, chattering away.

"I saw three ninesou on the table, so I played a ninesou. Who knew that Mrs. Wu would win. Tell me, is this bad luck?"

"At least you won four games in a row and made up for the money you lost. I won more than 200 coins at the beginning, but I lost 100 coins in the end. In total, I lost more than 300 coins."

"Speaking of which, Grandma Wu has been really lucky these days. You see, when the four of us were playing cards together, why did we choose her to help?

I was rewarded with two taels of silver!"

"Why should I be jealous of someone who makes money from a dead person? After all, that child was a pitiful person, she lost her life at such a young age. If not, I would not have given her a beech coffin.

That little bastard even got a beech coffin!

Aunt Qin couldn't bear it any longer. She jumped up from the bed and ran to the door. She pulled the bolt hard, but the door didn't budge. It was obviously locked.

She was so angry that her whole body was shaking and her face was burning like fire.

"Open the door. Open the door for me!" He pulled the bolt again randomly.

She wanted to pull the little bitch out of the coffin, open her heart and see if it was white or black.

It was a pity that she was so kind to her. She gave her all her old clothes and never forgot to give her gifts during festivals.

What good did she get from Eleventh Lady that she would frame her like this?

She was puzzled at the time. She was fine. But the disease of "malaria" was something she had heard about from the Second Lady. She also said that the disease could be transmitted to humans. When the Second Lady said this, there was a human plague in Shanxi that year. Otherwise, she would not remember how Cui'er, an illiterate little maid, could know so much. Thinking back, it was clear that she was instructed by someone.

How hateful that I guarded against it day and night, but it was still difficult for thieves to find a home. In the end, Cui Er, that little bitch, was the one who got into trouble.

Aunt Qin's shouting brought the two maids' idle chat to an abrupt end.

One of them said awkwardly: "Auntie, please don't make it difficult for us. We are just following orders."

Another one echoed, "Yes, Auntie. If you have anything to say, just tell us and we will pass it on for you. As for opening the door, we dare not do that. If we are infected, we are not like you, Auntie, who can invite the imperial physician to come for consultation and eat ginseng and Polygonum multiflorum freely. We don't have such property."

"Bah!" Aunt Feng slammed the door angrily, "I'm not sick at all. Who said I was sick? When my son comes back, he will come and settle the score with you."

"Son!" a woman said with a smile. "How could Auntie have a son? Even if she gave birth to a son, he was the Fourth Madam's son. When did he become your son? I see that you are not only sick, but also seriously ill..."

Before this woman finished her words, another woman advised her, "Why are you talking to her like this? You might as well take care of your spirit instead of wasting time." Then she added, "By the way, today, woman Wu said she would set up a gambling game at her house tonight. Are you going?"

"Go. Why don't you go? I won't go. How can I get back the money I lost?

The two of them were talking back and forth. Aunt Ren Su slammed the door loudly, but she pretended not to hear it.

Aunt Qin's hands were sore from clapping, but the two maids outside ignored her. Her heart gradually sank.

Those maids are the best at bullying the weak. In the past, those people saw that the second young master was favored by the marquis, and they were afraid that the second young master would have a good future and would be able to take care of them more, so they fawned on her. How could this ever happen?

She looked at the hand that was knocking on the door with a look of despair, and sat down on the ground.

"How could this happen? How could this happen?

If it was at home, the lady would be more cautious because of the Feng Shui of the house. But now, it was in the remote Fallen Leaf Mountain, and no one would respond. Not to mention killing a few people, even if they set a fire, if it didn't burn for a long time, I'm afraid no one would find it.

How could I be so stupid?

The thought flashed through my mind. I felt like a fish on a chopping board. No matter how much I jumped, I couldn't escape the fate of being gutted.

No. No. No.

She didn't want to admit defeat. She couldn't just stay depressed like this. She still had the Second Young Master.

The letter had been sent. As long as the Second Young Master came back, they wouldn't dare to do anything to her.

The thought flashed through her mind and she became worried again.

The letter was sent by Cui Er. What if Cui Er didn't send the letter at all?

Then, then she can only wait to die.

But how could the Bodhisattva let her die?

For so many years, the Bodhisattva has fulfilled her wishes. This time, he will definitely fulfill her wish as well.

Thinking of this, she immediately stumbled into the warm room at the back.

The attic was empty. There was nothing!

She then realized that this was the villa of Luoye Mountain. It was not the house of Yongping Marquis Zhong. But where was her Bodhisattva?

Where did her Bodhisattva go? He stayed at her home in Yanjing... She forgot everything when she left... Maybe that's why the Bodhisattva got angry and left her alone here.

Yes, it must be like this. Otherwise, how could I become like this today?

Aunt Qin could not help but kneel in the middle of the warm room, facing the east with her hands clasped together. She closed her eyes and chanted: "Bodhisattva. The believer Feng has devoted herself to Buddhism for so many years. She has never stopped burning incense and flowers.

Before she finished her words, there was a creaky sound of a door opening from outside the warm room.

Aunt Qin jumped up and rushed out, then she saw a familiar face.

"Mother Du!" She was stunned.

"Auntie Qin!" Auntie Du's cold face was still so friendly and kind. But at this time, in this place, Auntie Qin shuddered. "I'm here to see Auntie Qin's illness on the orders of the lady!" Auntie Du said and took a step back. Immediately, two burly women who looked like men came over and held her arms on the left and right.

"Mother Du, you can't do this!" Aunt Qin immediately understood her, she struggled and shouted, "The Second Young Master will not let you go when he comes back!"

Mother Du smiled. She took out a hand-sized glass bottle from her memory. She pulled out the cork. She stepped forward and pinched her jaw...

At this time, Eleventh Lady received the news of Mother Tao's death.

She went to see the lady.

Since being frightened, Xu Sizhen has been bedridden and has not been attending classes. He is even more timid than before. At the slightest sign of trouble, he would nervously pull at the sleeves of those around him.

The weather was very hot, and out of consideration for Xu Sizhen's health, the lady only placed a piece of ice in the northeast corner. After staying in the house for a long time, I didn't feel it, but when I came in from outside, I still felt a slight coolness.

The brothers Xu Si'e and Xu Si'e were leaning on the pillow, shoulder to shoulder, with their heads close together. The former was chattering something to the latter.

Hearing the noise, he looked up and saw Shiyi Niang coming in. Xu Siyi immediately slipped off the kang and ran towards her. Xu Siyi weakly called out "Mother".

Eleventh Lady touched Xu Si'e's head, nodded towards Xu Si'e, and asked the two brothers, "What are you doing?" "Telling fourth brother about Mr. Zhao's class." Xu Si'e took Eleventh Lady's hand and asked her to sit on the kang. He then climbed onto the kang and sat next to Xu Si'e.

"Oh." Shiyi Niang smiled and chatted with them: "What did Mr. Zhao say?

"Mr. Zhao told me the stories of Sun Zhongmou, Cao Cao, and Sun Quan.

Eleventh Lady thought for a moment and said with a smile, "Mr. Zhao has already picked up the chapter about brothers in the book "Youth Learning" that you are talking about?"

Xu Siyi nodded, his eyes showing admiration. "Mother is amazing. I knew what Mr. Zhao told us right away."

That's because my mother also read "Youth Education"! "Xu Sizhen, who had not been able to get a word in, smiled and naturally knew what Mr. Zhao was striving for.

Everyone was chatting and laughing, and the begging atmosphere was very harmonious.

The news of Mother Tao's death circled around Shiyi Niang's tongue several times and then returned to her throat.

Things dragged on like this until dinner, when Eleventh Lady came to say goodbye to Xu Sizhen.

"Mother, do you have something to say to me?" Xu Sinye looked at Shiyi Niang earnestly with his dark eyes.

"You figured it out!" Eleventh Lady said frankly, and she was a little curious. "How did you figure it out?" Xu Sizhen smiled and said, "Because my mother was a little absent-minded today."

What a sharp child.

The thought flashed through her mind, and Shiyi Niang felt even more reluctant. But if the Queen of Heaven heard it from someone else, she would probably be even more sad!

"I have something to tell you, but I don't know how to start." Eleventh Lady's tone was very hesitant. At noon, Tao Cheng came to report the death. She said, "Mother Tao has passed away!" As she spoke, she carefully observed Xu Sizhen's expression.

Xu Sizhen's calm expression froze there, then slowly turned into surprise. Then slowly turned into pain...

Shiyi Niang held him tightly in her arms: "He has dysentery. Chief Steward Bai even asked the imperial physician to come and see him...

Xu Sizhen's body was shaking. He choked and said, "That's why I'm sick. That's why Mother Tao didn't come to see me!"

It is an affirmative sentence, not a question.

Eleventh Lady felt sad.

Xu Sizhen was nothing more than a child waiting for love.

"No," said Shiyi Niang in a low and calm voice. "She came to see you. You were unconscious at that time!"

The truth cannot be hidden.

Rather than explaining it later, it is better to be honest now.

Xu Sizhen raised his head. His face was covered with tears and his eyes were full of doubt.

"When Mother Tao saw you like this, she cried so hard that she fainted.

"Eleventh Lady explained softly.

"We were afraid she would bother you, so we let her go the next day.

Xu Sizhen was relieved immediately.

The lady hated people crying, especially when he was sick, saying it was unlucky.

"Then, can Chaxiang come back to serve me?

He looked at Eleventh Lady eagerly.
