Chapter 750: The Bride-to-be VS the Black-hearted Maid (3)
"Miss, please don't tease me. I won't be with you forever. I will get married and won't be with you anymore. If you stay alone in the Gu Mansion without making plans for yourself, there will be no one to protect you." Cui'er saved her nose and quickly protected her entire face.
She had long been in love with her second brother Niu, and was just waiting for her daughter to marry him. Then she would follow Niu's second brother back to the countryside to hold the wedding. Niu's second brother loved her the most, her unique little flat nose.
"My Cui'er, you really think too much. My cousin and I grew up together. Even if he really wanted to take Meng Dong'er into his room, he would not necessarily ignore me. My cousin is a noble person, not the kind of person you say." Shi Yi sat up straight and continued to crochet woolen shoes.
Cui Er saw that she didn't take Meng Dong Er's question seriously at all, but was still crocheting shoes for her cousin. She got angry and threw the ball of yarn in her hand away, not intending to serve her anymore.
"Cui Er, look at you, you are so angry. You are bullying me." Shi Yi stretched out his hand to tickle her armpit, but Cui Er burst into tears, which was unusual for her.
Gu Sanmeng, who was separated from them by a curtain, didn't understand why Cui Er suddenly started crying, and leaned his head to the side without realizing it.
"Miss, you think you and your cousin are childhood sweethearts, but does your cousin think so? Look at you, with so many calluses on your fingers, doing these needlework and sewing behind everyone's back every day, making intimate items for your cousin in different patterns, but not telling anyone. I feel so sorry for your kindness!" Cui Er looked like a bloated pufferfish with her mouth puffed up and her mouth open.
"Cui'er, this is between my cousin and me. I am willing to pay for my cousin, this is my intention. I didn't tell my cousin because I didn't want him to feel burdened. Besides, I provide patterns to Qingzhuang Pavilion every year, which is also a considerable income. Thinking about it this way, I am grateful to my cousin for giving me such an opportunity to make money."
Gu Sanmeng behind the door curtain listened to his cousin's gentle voice.
He remembered the rabbit fur socks, mink fur pads, ice silk jackets that he had changed every year since he was a child. He just thought that these were popular styles in Qingzhuang Pavilion, so he put them in the bottom of the box after wearing them for a year, and never thought that they were from her hands.
"Miss is willing to pay for cousin, but Cui'er is unwilling to take this pair of woolen slippers to Qingzhuang Pavilion. Miss has done so many things for cousin, but she didn't even get a good word. Cui'er is not worth it for Miss." Cui'er said as she opened the curtain and ran out.
Gu Sanmeng, who hurriedly hid in the corner of the curtain, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw that she didn't find him.
"Who's there!"
He was shocked. If his cousin found him, and he was Meng Dong'er now, would he... While hesitating, Shi Yi had already walked in front of him.
"Meng Dong'er, what are you doing here?" Shi Yi frowned, obviously very impatient.
This is the contrast she needs. Because things that come too easily are always not easy to cherish. She wants Gu Sanmeng to see that she is more interesting than Meng Dong'er. At the same time, she also wants Gu Sanmeng to understand who he should choose.
"Miss Kang, my young master has woken up, and I'm here to inform you." Gu Sanmeng lowered his head.
Gentlemen never eavesdrop. If his cousin knew that it was him who was eavesdropping outside the door curtain, her impression of him would probably be sour. This was the first time since he woke up that he felt a little bit lucky that he was wearing Meng Dong'er's skin.
"Cousin is awake?" He could imagine how happy she was when he heard the girl's voice. She seemed to no longer care whether he had eavesdropped or not. She walked around the house excitedly for a few laps and said considerately, "Let's go back and see your cousin now. Your cousin has just woken up, and he must want to eat something soft and easy to digest. Wait for me to go to the kitchen and bring the stewed old hen over to nourish his body."
"Did my cousin stew this old hen herself?" Gu Sanmeng thought of the words he had overheard before, and was inexplicably certain that this was his cousin's love for him.
Cui'er, who had gone out, turned back and answered "her" question, "It wasn't stewed by my young lady, but by you? Ever since my young lady knew that my cousin fell into the water, she has been extremely anxious and prepared everything. At noon, she even cried secretly."
"Cui'er, stop talking. Go to the kitchen and prepare the chicken soup quickly."
"Miss~"
Gu Sanmeng was deeply moved. He didn't expect that his cousin would care about him so much and prepare food for him personally. In the past, he only thought that his cousin chose to marry him because of the matchmaker's words, so his attitude towards his cousin was always lukewarm, and he actually didn't care much.
"Miss, there's no need to make a big fuss. You haven't married yet. Be reserved." Cui'er rolled her eyes at "Meng Dong'er". "Some people think that they want to become a phoenix just because they have been serving the cousin since they were young. If you make such a big fuss today, and people with ulterior motives exaggerate it, we can't predict what will happen next."
Gu Sanmeng was actually very uncomfortable because Cui'er was targeting him everywhere. However, when he thought that Cui'er was actually targeting his Meng Dong'er skin, he felt a little better.
Besides, his cousin was not a shrewd person, and with such a vigilant maid following her, he was not afraid that she would suffer.
Therefore, the dissatisfaction with Cui'er was offset.
His dissatisfaction with Cui'er was offset. Cui'er was very dissatisfied with "her" and actually started to drive people away. "The news has been notified, you should go back. Go back and tell the young master to have a good rest. The young lady will come to visit him when she has time."
Cui'er spoke more arrogantly than Shi Yi, the real young lady. Shi Yi really loved her. If she had not secretly agreed to spend her life with Niu Er, Shi Yi would definitely keep her by his side for a few more days.
"Then...what about the chicken soup you made for the young master? Do you need me to take it back?" Gu Sanmeng wanted to taste his cousin's cooking.
After he woke up, he ate the servants' food, which was tasteless. Now, he is thinking about changing his taste.
"Chicken soup? What chicken soup? My cousin just woke up after falling into the water. He is weak and needs a light diet. Do you understand a light diet? Clear porridge with wild vegetables is the most suitable! Otherwise, if the body is too weak, it will not be able to be nourished, which will be a big threat to the body's recovery." Cui Er pushed the annoying "her" out directly, and sighed in her heart that Meng Dong'er was really thick-skinned.
In her opinion, she was not bringing this chicken soup back to the young master, but she really wanted to eat it herself.
