It was said to be the beginning of next month, but now it is already the last few days of this month.
Chi Yunzhi has already prepared several drinks, and Lanxiang and Juye are the best. Chi Yunzhi plans to let the two of them go to the store first, teach the staff, and then make other arrangements.
Naturally, the two had no objection to this.
Just as Chi Yunzhi expected, the story of Chi Miaoyan and Zhang Youxing spread throughout Shangjing like wildfire.
And N versions have been passed.
"I think that guy must have been the first to do this. Everyone who knows him knows what kind of person he is."
"That's right! He was molesting women on the street a while ago. How could he resist seeing such a beautiful woman?"
"I think it's that woman's fault. Maybe she wants to become a phoenix in this way!"
"That's quite a clever trick!"
Everyone was talking about it, and the servants of the Chi Mansion would be stopped and questioned whenever they bought something.
They didn't dare to make up stories about the young ladies in the mansion, and they had to endure other people's inquiring gazes when buying something.
Some even directly grabbed people and wouldn't let them leave.
The maids cried and complained to Chi Bingwen, but there was nothing he could do.
This matter has been spread out, and the most urgent thing is to marry this troublesome daughter off as soon as possible!
These days he claimed to be ill and did not dare to go to court. He hid at home and did not see guests, like a turtle hiding in his shell.
But those rumors will still spread into the mansion.
He is so annoyed!
Finally, he remembered Li who was forgotten in the yard.
They are all good daughters she taught!
Doing such a shameful thing!
She has completely lost his face!
Chi Bingwen went to Li's yard angrily.
Weeds in the yard grew out from the cracks in the stones, fallen leaves covered the ground, and an old woman was decocting medicine under the eaves.
When she saw him coming, tears came to her eyes, which were smoked by the fireworks.
"Master! Are you finally here to see Madam?" The old nanny happily opened the door.
Chi Bingwen was puzzled. Why was the nanny so happy just because he came?
As soon as he stepped onto the stairs, he was almost vomiting because of the strong smell of medicine.
The anger in his heart was diluted a lot at this moment.
In the dim room, Li was lying on the bed, her cheeks sunken, her face dark from smoke rings, and she was so thin that she looked unrecognizable.
Looking closely, it feels like the oil has run out and the lamp has gone out.
Chi Bingwen's heart trembled suddenly. He hadn't set foot here for only half a month, so how could such earth-shaking changes have occurred here?
"How did you become like this?" Chi Bingwen couldn't help but lower his voice.
"Ahem, master, I have been feeling unwell recently, so I won't get up to pay my respects to you." Li tried hard to lift her heavy eyelids, and an ugly smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.
"Where are the servants in the courtyard? Why is there only one nanny serving them?" he asked again.
"These lowly maids are always flattering the powerful and bullying the weak! Seeing that Concubine Zhou and Concubine Pei are favored, they are always attentive to her. But seeing our Madam like this, they just give her a perfunctory treatment! Now, there is not even a trace of her!"
The nanny was so angry that she cried, as if she wanted to express all the grievances that Li had suffered.
Chi Bingwen was silent for a moment. He hadn't paid attention to this side for a long time.
This place has become something he doesn't recognize.
"What's wrong with you? Didn't you say you just sprained your ankle?" Chi Bingwen asked, looking at her face.
Li was also a great beauty, otherwise Chi Bingwen would not have been interested in her.
Now he is so thin that he looks like skin and bones, which is a bit scary when you look closely.
"The doctor couldn't figure out the cause and just prescribed some medicine for colds. My foot feels much better now." As she spoke, she gently moved her feet, partially lifting up the quilt.
"I'll let Yan'er come to take care of him." Chi Bingwen couldn't stay here any longer. He felt extremely suffocated here.
He turned and walked away, his face solemn.
Chi Miaoyan was unwilling to take care of Li, so Chi Bingwen slapped her.
My stepmother is sick, so how can we as children not take care of her?
When Chi Miaoyan arrived at Li's place with a swollen face, she found that Pei and Chi Yichun were also there.
Pei ordered the maid to clean up the fallen leaves, and the weeds in the cracks of the rocks were cleared away in an instant.
All the windows in the room were opened, the light was much brighter, and it gave people a transparent, bright and comfortable feeling.
Chi Miaoyan was dissatisfied, but seeing Chi Yichun kneeling in front of Li's bed, she could only kneel down and serve him.
Even Aunt Zhou came to sleep with him.
At this time, she was four months pregnant, but she didn't look pregnant at all.
But everyone knew she was pregnant.
"Sister, you came here to take care of me even though you were pregnant. It's really hard for you." Pei hurried forward to help the person over.
Zhou gently stroked her slightly bulging belly with both hands.
It was just a short time after Zhou arrived when Chi Bingwen heard the noise and came over, wanting to take Zhou away with concern.
"You are still pregnant, you should have a good rest. There are other people to do these things." Chi Bingwen frowned slightly, and the anxiety in his eyes was about to overflow.
Li opened her eyes slightly and saw this scene.
This is the man she has her eyes on.
"I just changed my place to rest. Master, don't worry too much. I always feel that this doctor is a bit perfunctory. Why don't you find another doctor?"
Zhou gently pushed Chi Bingwen's arm.
Chi Bingwen responded and planned to go there in person.
Chi Yunzhi was busy in the kitchen all day, and Cuicui had become familiar with her a long time ago.
Every time she came, she could make delicious drinks, and Cuicui could always have a sip.
Zhuyin came in from outside and told Chi Yunzhi about Li's illness in her ear, her face beaming with joy.
It seemed that she was happiest when she saw Chi Miaoyan and Li in trouble.
Chi Yunzhi handed her the prepared mango sago with a smile, "Come and try it. The store will open at the beginning of next month, and you will be responsible for introducing it."
When Zhuyin saw this novel thing, she quickly took it and tasted it carefully.
The drink was naturally also sent to Qian's yard. As for the old lady, she planned to deliver it there personally.
When Aunt Jiao saw Chi Yunzhi coming over with a food box, her face was filled with joy.
The old lady has woken up now, and the timing is just right.
"You clever girl, what good stuff have you come up with for me, an old woman, to taste?" The old lady was so happy that her mouth stretched behind her ears, revealing her gums with few teeth.
"Grandma, just try it and you'll know." Chi Yunzhi opened the food box with ease and took out the bowl inside.
Aunt Jiao also got a small bowl, which still had a few unmelted ice chips in it.
One sip makes you feel comfortable all over and the summer heat is dispelled a lot.
The old lady suffered from the summer heat and had not been able to eat for the past few days. She became thinner.
Chi Yunzhi would find ways to prepare something for her to eat every day, not very cold, but with some coolness.
The old lady was amused by her filial piety.
She really likes the cool taste.
"What are you going to do with those four shops?" the old lady suddenly asked.
