Chapter 257: Do You Know Who You Are?
After a period of chaos, the young master of the Duke of England's mansion woke up slowly, and the old lady cried with joy.
"Jin'er, how are you?" the old lady asked excitedly.
Lin Wangjin looked at the old lady with a dazed look in his eyes.
His lips moved and uttered a few vague words.
"Who are you?"
Old lady, “…”
Everything went dark before my eyes and I fainted again.
"Old lady!"
Several maids and old women exclaimed in unison.
After all, the old lady had just broken her leg and had experienced great sorrow and joy, so her body could not hold on any longer.
The room became chaotic again, and the doctor rushed to treat the old lady.
Lin Wangjin moved his lips again and slowly closed his eyes.
"Jin'er!"
The third young lady grabbed her son's hand, her face full of panic, her body swaying.
She was already extremely weak, and now with this shock, she felt dizzy.
So, before Wang Mama and others who were sent to Daliushu Village came back, several masters of the Duke's Mansion were unable to get out of bed.
The whole inn was filled with gloom and the smell of medicine.
Several maids and old women crowded in the kitchen, making medicine for their respective masters.
"Tell me, how come this young master was fine and suddenly passed away?" a woman whispered.
"How could she be dead? I'm afraid she fainted. The little girl is ignorant and thought she was dead, so she screamed in fear." Another woman said, "I'm afraid the old lady will punish the little girl severely after her death, and she might even sell her out..."
"That little girl is also naive. The young master has a bad heart to begin with. When she yells like that, isn't she cursing the young master?"
"That's fine, but it almost scared others to death..."
"That's right! At that time, I thought the young master was faking his death..."
"Who says it's not? It's really enough to scare people to death..."
Several maids and old women gathered together and talked in low voices.
Thinking of the scene at that time, they all patted their chests, looking frightened.
"It's a blessing that the young master is fine, otherwise our Duke's Mansion would be..."
"Shh! Stop talking nonsense! If this gets out, will you be dead?"
"If you ask me, hurry up and get the young master a wedding..."
"That's right. Didn't Mother Wang go to that village today? There's a little girl in that village who is very blessed. Who knows, if the young master marries that little girl, his health will improve..."
"It's hard to say. Who knows whether it's a blessing or a curse?" said an old woman, curling her lips.
"What do you mean? Over the years, our family has been searching, both openly and covertly, for a lucky little maid for the young master. Now that we've finally found one, could it turn out to be a disaster?"
"Why not? Don't you think about how bizarre things are happening today?" The old woman said mysteriously, "The old lady just sent someone to propose marriage, and several masters here have fallen ill. The young master almost..."
When the old woman said this, she gave them a look that said, "You understand."
The other people looked at each other.
"Could it be... that I have offended some immortal?"
"Could it be that... instead of bringing good luck, it's bringing disaster?"
"That little girl, isn't she a disaster?"
"You can't say for sure. Look, before I even enter the door, I've already brought bad luck..."
"That can't be..."
Several maids and old women were confused and uncertain, and began to speculate.
It’s almost time to label Xiao Tangbao as a disaster.
Lai Fu, the inn's waiter, pretended to fetch some water and heard everything.
Combined with what the shopkeeper said, my eyes lit up and I felt that I had found the truth.
"I'm afraid my mother and sisters guessed wrong." The servant said with an air of prophecy, "If that little girl is truly blessed, would she be willing to be a concubine? If she doesn't want to be a concubine, and your family forces her to do so, won't troubles ensue?"
Lai Fu has become familiar with these third-class maids and servants in the past few days, so he doesn't hide anything when speaking to them.
"What Lai Fu said does make some sense..." a woman said after thinking for a while.
The other woman looked shocked.
"Could it be that the old lady tripped over the threshold, and the young master almost..."
I didn't dare say the word "died young".
After all, this is a big taboo for the master.
However, even though she didn't say it, others understood.
Then, several people exchanged glances, and the old woman continued, "Perhaps today's incident is retribution for forcing the young girl to come to celebrate the wedding..."
"Pah, pah, pah! You're going to die! You only know how to gossip all day long. I'm afraid you must be tired of living!" The housekeeper rushed in from outside, spat in the face of the old woman, and pointed at the maids and servants and cursed: "Have you forgotten the rules of the mansion and want to be kicked out?"
Several maids and servants were so frightened that their faces changed drastically, and they immediately began to kowtow and curry favor with the housekeeper.
"Mother Li, please be magnanimous and don't bother with us rough people..."
"Please, Madam Li, please don't say this in front of the masters..."
The housekeeper, Madam Li, glared at them fiercely and shouted, "I'll let you off this time, but be careful when brewing the medicine. If you keep gossiping, I'll beat you out with a stick!"
“Yes, yes, yes…”
"Thank you, Mother Li..."
Several people thanked Mother Li profusely.
Although Mother Li scolded these people, she also had some doubts in her heart.
Although she didn't hear everything these people said, she did hear some of it.
After the medicine was ready, Mother Li took the medicine to the old lady's room.
The old lady had just woken up, and she was served by her eldest maid Ziyun and Zizhu, who had secretly cried with red eyes.
Zizhu fell down with the old lady because she was supporting her.
Although he didn't get hurt from the fall, he still had to be punished. He would be beaten when he got home.
If she wasn't out of town and there wasn't a shortage of manpower, a girl like her with red eyes from crying wouldn't be allowed to get in front of her masters.
"Jin'er...how is it?"
As soon as the old lady regained consciousness, she asked about her grandson's condition in a weak voice.
"In reply to the old lady, the doctor said that the young master is no longer in danger and just needs to take good care of his body." Ziyun replied in a low voice.
"Help me go see Jin'er..." said the old lady.
Now she is not only worried about her grandson's health, but also his brain.
After all, her grandson's question "Who are you?" scared her to death.
After the old lady finished speaking, she struggled to get up.
As a result, when she moved, the piercing pain almost made her faint again.
"Old lady, please be careful!" Ziyun quickly held the old lady down and said, "You can't move your legs now."
Zizhu took the medicine bowl from Madam Li and advised with red eyes: "Old Madam, you should drink the medicine first. I just checked and the young master is asleep."
"Yes, old lady, you should also take care of yourself." Mother Li also stepped forward to advise: "Young Master has always been filial. Now that you are well, you can save him from worrying about you, right?"
Although the old lady was worried about her grandson's head and wanted to check it out, she was unable to do so. She had to suppress her uneasy mood and was helped by Zizhu and Ziyun to drink the medicine.
"Ziyun, go see if the young master is awake." The old lady said, "If he is awake, you..."
The old lady paused, her heart almost gripping her chest.
Finally, he said with some difficulty: "If he wakes up, ask him... if he recognizes who you are?"
Ziyun was slightly stunned, then he understood what the old lady meant.
"yes."
Ziyun agreed and walked out quickly.
