The hour of Xu.
"Cousin, the old lady has gone to bed. I'll go and report to the master and the mistress." Little Lingling saw Wang Xinlan tucking in the quilt for old Madam Xiao who had just fallen asleep. She walked gently behind her and spoke in a low voice.
In the past, whenever the old lady fell asleep, she would go to Mr. Xiao and tell him.
The old lady went to bed relatively early tonight. Perhaps the bowl of calming tea that the lady had someone send her had taken effect. The old lady did not toss and turn in bed like she did the previous two nights and could not fall asleep.
Not long after the old lady lay down, she began to breathe calmly. She should sleep more soundly today.
Xiao Lingling thought about telling her cousin and then went to report to the master and his mistress.
"Xiao Lingling, I'll go talk to my uncle and aunt today. You stay in my grandmother's room and wait for me to come back. I happen to have something to do, so I need to go see my aunt."
Wang Xinlan carefully tucked in the corners of the quilt for Old Madam Xiao. She stood up and spoke to Xiao Lingling.
Anyway, she was going to go see her aunt, so Xiao Lingling didn't have to make the trip.
Xiao Lingling nodded after hearing this. She blinked her eyes and said, "Then I'll have to trouble you, Miss Biao."
"It's okay. I'm going to go see my aunt anyway, so it's just a side job." Wang Xinlan waved her hand. "Grandma is afraid of heat, but she's just getting a little better now, so don't let her stay cool. After I leave, take a stool and sit in front of her couch, and fan her from time to time with your hand. But remember, cover her with the quilt. She's not fully recovered yet, so don't let her catch a cold again."
She licked her lips and opened her mouth to give instructions.
Although Xiao Lingling has been serving her grandmother all the time, she has always been conscientious and responsible in taking care of her.
Wang Xinlan had no other intention in telling Xiao Lingdang these things.
She had seen how attentive the little girl was as she had been serving her grandmother closely in recent days, so she was naturally very confident in letting Xiao Lingling take care of her grandmother.
But she felt that it would be better if she gave some reminder.
When Xiao Lingling heard Wang Xinlan's words, she blinked and nodded, saying, "Don't worry, cousin. I will take good care of the old lady."
"Well, I'll go out first, and I'll take your turn when I come back."
After Wang Xinlan finished speaking, she turned and walked out of Madam Xiao's room.
She thought that at this time, her uncle and aunt should be getting ready for bed, so she went straight to their bedroom.
at the same time.
"Master, Madam, the water is ready. Let me help you change your clothes."
The maid brought the water for Xiao Yunqi and Madam Xiao to wash into the room. The nanny walked up to the two of them, lowered her head slightly, and opened her mouth to speak.
"No need, Madam Sun, you should go and rest earlier. I will change my clothes by myself." Madam Xiao turned to look at Madam Sun and waved her hand, saying, "And you all should go down as well. The master and I don't need anyone to serve us here."
"Yes, ma'am."
"Madam, I will take my leave."
"I'll take my leave."
When the maid and the nanny heard what Madam Xiao said, they bowed to her and Xiao Yunqi, then turned around and walked out of the room.
"Master, let me wash and groom you today."
Mrs. Xiao took a clean handkerchief from the shelf nearby, wet it in warm water, and walked in front of Xiao Yunqi with the wet handkerchief.
Xiao Yunqi looked at his wife and pursed his lips and said, "Madam, you are tired from taking care of the trivial matters in the courtyard today. I will help you go to bed."
He reached out and took the handkerchief from Mrs. Xiao's hand, then held her hand and carefully wiped the pair of white and soft hands in his hand.
"Husband, there is one thing I can't figure out today. Why did you hide the dream that mother talked about during the day from Xinlan?"
Mrs. Xiao bit her lip, blinked, looked up at Xiao Yunqi, opened her mouth and asked in confusion.
Just as she asked the question in her mind, Wang Xinlan arrived outside their room.
Just as she was about to raise her hand to knock on the door, she heard Mrs. Xiao mention her name.
Wang Xinlan's hand, which was raised in the air, suddenly froze.
Originally, the maid in Madam Xiao's room said she would go and tell Wang Xinlan when she saw her coming.
However, Wang Xinlan said that she would go directly to see Mrs. Xiao, and the maid listened to her and did not come over to pass on the message.
It was precisely because of today's unexpected success that she had the opportunity to hear these words from her aunt.
Wang Xinlan didn't know why her aunt suddenly mentioned her name.
She could have just knocked and gone in.
But she had a vague feeling that her aunt's next words might contain the clues she wanted to know.
So Wang Xinlan chose not to knock on the door, but retreated to a corner, quietly waiting for what Mrs. Xiao would say next.
Although she also knew that her actions were despicable.
But she didn't know why, she just couldn't control herself.
Knowing it's wrong, I still want to continue.
Today, my grandmother acted very strangely when she woke up. She suddenly asked me to go find my uncle and aunt. When I found them, my grandmother asked me to go to the kitchen to prepare pastries. Then when I finished and brought them to her, she didn't eat much.
Wang Xinlan was busy during the day, so she didn't think too much about it, let alone connect these things together. Now that she thinks about it, every step her grandmother took was strange, as if she was intentionally trying to get her away.
In fact, Wang Xinlan is not a curious person.
But at this moment she couldn't suppress her curiosity.
Xiao Yunqi and Mrs. Xiao did not notice Wang Xinlan who was standing outside the house and eavesdropping on their conversation.
There were only two of them in the room, so they had no worries in talking.
Xiao Yunqi listened to his wife's doubts and shook his head. "In fact, I don't know why mother did that. Even if she dreamed that Yi Hao was in trouble, it was just a dream after all. Besides, even if he really encountered something, Xiaolan has been in the mansion for so many years. We have already regarded her as our own daughter. We are all family. It's not impossible for mother to say anything in front of our own family. Don't say that you don't understand. In fact, I don't understand why mother wants to send Xiaolan away."
Madam, do you think that since he came out of his mother's womb, he knows what his mother is up to?
"My husband, don't talk nonsense." Madam Xiao frowned when she heard Xiao Yunqi's blunt words, and said with her mouth open, "Quickly spit out what you just said, it doesn't count. Er will definitely return home safely, nothing will happen to her."
"Don't worry, ma'am. I'm just making an assumption."
Seeing his wife's worried expression, Xiao Yunqi quickly explained.
