"Sister Liuli, please help pass the message. Our eldest daughter has fainted again!"
Peilan stood outside Xuanrui Hall, begging desperately to a person who looked like a maid.
"Perrin, it's not that I won't help you pass the message, but the lady is having a heart-to-heart with the 'new' young lady she found."
The maid named Liuli was the top maidservant beside Madam Li.
She is about the same age as Peilan, and both are born in the Marquis' Mansion. They have been working in the mansion for about the same time.
However, Liuli was someone close to Madam Li, and was naturally superior to Peilan and other servants who served in the young ladies' and masters' courtyards.
Not to mention, the current Zhou Qingcheng...tsk tsk!
Liuli didn't show it on her face, but she was shaking her head in her heart.
And when she spoke, she couldn't help but emphasize the pronunciation of a few words.
Her implication was clear: the real eldest lady was back, and that idiot from Weirui Courtyard was about to fall out of favor.
Even though their wives were kindhearted and reluctant to part with the child they had raised for over ten years, and insisted on keeping Zhou Qingcheng in the Marquis' Mansion, she could only be an adopted daughter.
It is no longer possible to be the eldest daughter of a noble and respectable marquis as in the past.
Therefore, after the news of the real and fake daughter spread, the maids and old women in Zhou Qingcheng's yard ran away or became "sick".
There were four first-class maids, four second-class maids, eight third-class maids and four servants, a total of twenty servants in Weiruiyuan, but only Peilan and a third-class maid were left.
You can't blame those people for changing with the wind; that's just the reality.
Liuli felt that if Peilan's mother had not died and her stepmother had not been in charge of the family, with no one to help her take care of things, she would have been transferred to another courtyard by her family to work.
There was probably no other way for Peilan to stay in Weiruiyuan.
If that's the case, why bother trying so hard to help Zhou Qingcheng plan - haha, in order to see the lady, and to make the lady feel distressed, he even started pretending to be sick!
Yes, Liuli didn’t believe that Gu Qingcheng was sick again.
Although this young lady has been weak since childhood, the Marquis's Mansion has carefully cared for her for more than ten years.
Whether it's ginseng and bird's nest, snow lotus and white fungus, no matter how much it's worth, as long as it's good for the young lady's health, the lady and the marquis will get it back without any regrets!
The Marquis even sacrificed his reputation and asked Doctor Qin from the Imperial Hospital to personally examine the eldest daughter and prescribe a prescription for her health.
After these years of careful care, the eldest lady no longer has any major health problems.
At most, I would catch a cold or cough a few times every time the seasons changed.
She is just a little bit weaker than other rich girls, but is far from being bedridden.
A few days ago, when the Marquis' Mansion just discovered that the child might have been taken away by mistake, Zhou Qingcheng "fell ill".
The lady, the marquis and the prince were all in a state of panic. Finally, the imperial physician came and took their pulses and found that there was nothing serious.
The imperial physician gently reminded Zhou Qingcheng to relax and rest well.
What this meant was that Zhou Qingcheng was worried that she was a mistaken child and would be kicked out of the Marquis' Mansion, so she pretended to be sick.
[Humph, it's only been a few days, and the young lady is sick again! ]
Liuli secretly complained to herself that she had already had a criminal record, and now talking about being "sick" sounded fake.
Liuli doesn’t believe it anyway!
Perrin grew increasingly anxious. "I know Madam is busy, but our young lady is truly ill."
She has served the eldest lady for several years and is very familiar with her physical condition.
Maybe the eldest lady had pretended to be sick before, but this time, she was really sick.
Perrin could see clearly that the eldest lady looked very bad and her breathing was rapid.
Perrin had a bad feeling, feeling that the eldest lady seemed to be really becoming very sickly.
She couldn't help but wonder, could it be that this incident of the real daughter and the fake daughter had caused such a shock to her young lady that she had contracted some strange disease?!
"Sister Liuli, please help me."
Perrin was so anxious that tears were about to come out.
Her family refused to help her, and she was grateful for the kindness shown to her by the eldest daughter in her early years.
Furthermore, Perrin had an inexplicable feeling that her eldest daughter would not remain silent.
Even if she really can't stay in the Marquis' Mansion anymore, the eldest lady still has a fiancé.
The eldest lady's fiancé is the legitimate son of a Duke's family and the future crown prince.
After careful consideration, Perrin felt that staying with the eldest lady might not necessarily be a dead end.
Even if there is no future in following the eldest lady and no one helps her to make connections, she will not be able to go to other courtyards.
As the only maidservant beside the eldest lady, if something happened to the eldest lady and the lady held her accountable, she would be the first to be punished.
Now she is tied to the eldest lady, and only when the eldest lady is well can she be well.
Thinking of this, Peilan made up her mind and decided not to tangle with Liuli. She shouted towards the courtyard at the top of her voice: "Madam! Madam! It's not good! The young lady is not good!"
"Please save the young lady! Madam! Madam!!"
In an emergency, people can always stimulate the potential of their bodies.
Perrin didn't even know that he could have such a loud voice.
Screams came through the gate and into the yard.
Li, who was sitting in the main room, could hear it clearly across the huge courtyard.
She frowned and turned to look at Nanny Su.
Madam Su hurriedly said, "I'll go out and take a look!"
Li nodded slightly.
Nanny Su hurried out.
Li still maintained a sitting posture. She glanced at Gu Erya, who seemed to have suffered a major blow.
