Chapter 347 Yixiu 25
The next morning, Yixiu woke up early for the first time.
Perhaps it was her gossipy heart that awakened her biological clock, which had not moved for thousands of years. Yixiu woke up as soon as she opened her eyes, called someone in to wash and dress, and she finished packing in a quarter of an hour.
After eating two pieces of milk cakes, he took Jianqiu for a stroll in the Fu Jin's courtyard with great enthusiasm. As soon as he entered the house, he saw Qi. She was still as quiet as ever. She bowed respectfully when she saw her, and no one could find any fault with her.
Yixiu waved her hand to wake her up, then strolled back to her usual seat. A moment later, Li came in, a look of barely concealed happiness on her face.
"Is the concubine here too?"
As soon as Li Jingyan entered the room and saw Yixiu, his eyes immediately lit up. He hurried over, bowed casually, and sat down next to Yixiu.
"I went to bed early yesterday, and I couldn't fall asleep again when I woke up early this morning. So I just got up early and came to pay my respects to Madam Fu-jin."
"Oh, I got up early too. My sister Geng and sister Song in the courtyard haven't gotten up yet. I was originally worried that I would be bored because I was waiting for them today. Fortunately, you are here."
Yixiu smiled and took a sip of tea, without responding to the conversation, but just muttered to herself that fools have good fortune.
What do you mean "just you"? When has Mr. Qi, who lives across from you, never come early?
But it's also hard for her and her son because they are both obviously stupid. Not to mention those smart people, even those who think they are smart are too lazy to harm them.
Of course, her past self doesn’t count, she was simply a lunatic back then.
"If you're hungry, have a piece of cake. The almond cakes here are always delicious."
Seeing that she was about to speak, Yixiu picked up a piece of cake and stuffed it into her mouth. Li was about to say that she was not hungry, but when she looked up and saw Yixiu's smiling face, she quickly took the cake in her hands and said, "Thank you, Concubine Nara. I am a little hungry."
Although the piece of pastry was not large, she was paying her respects to the lady in her husband's courtyard, and she couldn't eat it all in one go, so she held it in her handkerchief and chewed it slowly.
After finishing a piece of pastry, Song and Geng arrived. They both bowed to Yi Xiu, Song sitting across from Li, Geng sitting next to Li. The three of them gathered together, and the atmosphere in the room finally became a little more lively.
But everyone was a little absent-minded. Not to mention Geng and Li, even Song looked outside from time to time. As the time passed, neither the wife nor the concubine Nian appeared. In another half a minute, it would be time to pay respects. Everyone in the room looked at each other, and they all understood that the two had made up their minds to have a fight.
In the past, if these women were left sitting like this for an hour or two, they would probably have been complaining in their hearts. But at this moment, although there was no sign of the two sides fighting, Li's eyes became brighter. Without Yixiu saying anything, she reached out and touched piece of cake after piece, eating with great interest.
Finally, Rouze was the first to come out. After all, a group of women were sitting in her room waiting to watch the show. As a concubine, it would be inappropriate for her not to show up.
Rouze was still wearing dark casual clothes today, and her complexion was visibly weak. After everyone had bowed and taken their seats, she heard the one at the top ask in a deep voice:
"Why isn't Concubine Nian here?"
This question could only be answered by Yixiu, who had the highest status besides the Concubine, "This... I don't know for sure. Perhaps Concubine Nian is stuck in something."
After Yixiu finished speaking, Li Shi quickly added, "Yes, it's already this late, why hasn't Concubine Nian arrived yet? Could something have happened? Should Concubine Nian send someone to check it out?"
Rouze twirled the coral rosary in her hand twice, her face expressionless. She simply instructed Shiyue beside her, "Send someone to ask. Concubine Nian was fine yesterday, what happened today?"
"That's what I was going to ask Fu Jin."
Nian Shilan spoke before the others arrived. Everyone looked outside and the first thing they noticed was the rouge-red silk cloak embroidered with a hundred flower patterns. The scorching red color was so bright that it hurt their eyes.
"Last night, Fu Jin was feeling unwell. Your Highness was so tired that he had to get up and walk across the courtyard to accompany you even though he had rested at my place in the middle of the night. It really made me feel distressed."
Looking up as she spoke bluntly and sharply, I saw a beautiful girl of about sixteen or seventeen years old pouting with a sly smile in her eyes.
With such a charming look, even if she pointed at her nose and scolded her in a delicate voice, she would probably still find it quite amusing.
Of course, the prerequisite is that he is a man.
As soon as Nian Shilan entered the room, people felt a sense of oppression, as if the originally spacious main hall suddenly became cramped. Everyone couldn't help but look at her, like the moon... no, the sun, surrounded by stars.
She walked in leisurely, her steps clearly unhurried, but when she looked straight at Fu Jin, you could clearly feel her unscrupulous offense.
"Are you dissatisfied with me?"
Rouze had a stern face, still showing no emotion. Even the rhetorical question she asked did not carry any emotion, but instead made Nian, who was below her, frown her beautiful long eyebrows.
There is probably a saying in this world that fate is predestined. Ulanara Rouze and Nian Shilan, two enemies who had never met in their previous life, finally met in this life with the help of the great philanthropist Yixiu.
It had only been two months since the two first met, but they had already become destined rivals and lifelong enemies.
Such a fate is so touching that it makes people sad and cry when they hear about it.
"What you said really frightens me. I'm just worried about your health. After all, this isn't the first time. You should not be shy about practicing medicine. Otherwise, if you keep putting it off and wait for the prince to come and take care of you, I'm afraid that not only will your health not improve, but you'll also be a burden to the prince."
Nian Shilan bowed perfunctorily, and without waiting for Rouze to call her, she stood up and sat opposite Yixiu, holding her handkerchief and said in a deliberately pretentious manner:
"Oh, if Lord Beile really gets sick, who can we women rely on? We can't rely on Prince Honghui, he's only eleven years old this year."
After saying this, she turned to Rouze, who sat at the top of the table, with a half-smile on her face, and said, "I am young and speak frankly. You, my wife, have always been the kindest of men, so I dare to say these things. I hope you won't hold it against me."
