She swallowed unconsciously. Xu Zekun had a cold personality, but he was kind to them. It was the first time she saw the prince give her such a warning look.
Xu Zekun glanced at her and said, "This won't happen again."
Banxia left, her face still pale. When she returned to her room, Lianxin saw her and startled her: "What's wrong with you?"
Banxia drank a cup of cold tea and said to Lianxin, "Looks like I'll have to be more careful with the guy from Yingxue Pavilion from now on."
Lianxin's face was slightly different. They were Xu Zekun's personal maids and had served him for four or five years. They were always respectable and comparable to the average daughters of officials. Naturally, they looked down on Yao Susu.
Although they are not good-looking and dare not have any desire for Xu Zekun, it does not mean that they have no opinion about Yao Susu.
In Banxia Lianxin's heart, the master is dressed in gold and purple, and is extremely noble. Aunt Yao is not worthy of him in any way.
A few days ago, when she saw that the master was ignoring Aunt Yao, she felt indescribable joy in her heart. That's why she was so stupid and hid the fact that Yao Susu was sick. She didn't expect that although the prince didn't show it on his face, he was still thinking about her in his heart.
Lianxin was still frightened after listening to Banxia's story. Fortunately, they did not neglect Aunt Yao and comforted Banxia with a few words. They just did what the master said. If the master valued it, they would also respect her a little.

Yingxue Pavilion
Yao Susu was indeed sick. The old lady told her that Xu Zekun didn't like sweets but liked drinking tea, so Yao Susu thought about working hard on tea.
She had no way to get tea better than the one Xu Zekun had tasted, but she could think carefully about the water used to make the tea.
There was a lotus pond in the Ningyuan Marquis Mansion. One day, Yuzhan picked a lotus and brought it back. Then Yao Susu had an idea: she could use the flower dew to make tea, which would be both clean and elegant.
It was hard work to get the flower dew every morning for a few days. Although it was summer, one had to get up before dawn to collect the dew. After getting up early and going to bed late for a few days, Yao Susu developed a fever. It took two days of drinking bitter medicine to get rid of the fever, but her throat was still dry and itchy.
At this time, Yuzhan came back from the kitchen with the food box and was setting the dishes one by one.
Yuping handed Yao Susu a glass of water and helped her up.
The kitchen was still not very attentive today. There were several spicy dishes and one of the meat dishes looked greasy. If it were usual, Yao Susu would have tolerated it, but now her throat felt really uncomfortable.
"Go and ask the people in the kitchen to make me a bowl of porridge." Yao Susu whispered to Yuping.
Yuping looked distressed. The kitchen was really outrageous. They were not like this when the prince came to Yingxue Pavilion before!
At that time, Mrs. Zhao from the kitchen would diligently send someone to ask the master in advance what he wanted to eat every day!
Now, look what happens when they serve up these leftovers, it makes me angry!
"Just drinking porridge is not enough. Is there anything else my aunt would like to eat? Let's go to the kitchen and talk."
After Yuping finished speaking, before Yao Susu could say anything, Taozhi came over slowly. She had been running outside every day these days and had not done any work at Yingxue Pavilion.
Taking a look at the dishes on the table, Taozhi couldn't help but sneer. What concubines and masters? They are worse than them maids.
"I think Auntie should just make do with it and eat it, otherwise Sister Yuping will go and get turned away again!"
Yu Ping couldn't stand her taking advantage of her misfortune and retorted, "I'd love to go, and I didn't ask you to go! What are you saying here?!"
Taozhi's face turned pale with anger. Looking at Yao Susu's sick but still pitiful face, she gritted her teeth and said, "Hmph, I won't go even if you ask me to! You can't even order me around!"
She said it proudly, and seeing that Yao Susu remained silent, she felt pleased. She relied on her good looks and thought that she could win the old man's favor. What was the result?
Just as he was about to say a few more words smugly, Yao Susu's expression changed slightly, her eyes slowly turned red, and there was a sense of grievance in them, and her gaze was clearly directed behind her.
Taozhi suddenly had a bad premonition. She turned around tremblingly and saw a tall and straight figure wearing black brocade clothes. His face was handsome, but he was faintly shrouded in frost.
His heavy gaze fell on Taozhi and he said softly, "You are so brave."
But just one sentence, Taozhi was already frightened to death. "Grandpa...how could Grandpa be here? Did Grandpa hear everything she just said?"
Her face was pale, the blood had completely faded, and she knelt down to apologize, saying in a panic: "Master, please forgive me, I was just talking nonsense."
In fact, Yao Susu had seen Xu Zekun coming a long time ago. He came at the right time. After tolerating Taozhi for so long, it was time for him to vent his anger.
Yao Susu lowered her eyes, and when she raised them again, there was a hint of tears in her eyes, and even the corners of her eyes were red.
She stood up, but did not move closer to Xu Zekun like before, and bowed politely.
Xu Zekun was extremely furious. He had heard from his mother that Yao was ill, and he was indeed worried. Counting the days, he knew that he would not be able to see her for half a month.
It can be considered a punishment. Today, he came to Yingxue Pavilion by just taking a walk in the garden. He did not tell Yao in advance, so naturally no one greeted him.
Seeing that Yingxue Pavilion was deserted, he thought that Yao Susu was still bedridden, and his heart couldn't help but get worried.
I didn't expect to hear this girl's arrogant words the moment I reached the door. And Yao was just sitting there, looking so pitiful, letting her speak?!
How can she still be called a girl?! She's bullying her master!
Xu Zekun was furious when he saw that Yao Susu had lost a lot of weight and was wearing an autumn-colored dress, which made her look even thinner.
He took a deep breath, stepped past the ignorant maidservant, and came to Yao Susu.
