Chapter 389 The Wet Two
Although Xingxing was a little confused, she still responded obediently.
The effect of the pill had long passed, and the dirt on the face of the old lady of Weibei Marquis was painted with powder by the maid who was reading the storybook beside her. After the old lady of Weibei Marquis said this to Xingxing, the maid came forward and patched up the slightly wrong spots on the old lady of Weibei Marquis' face.
Xing Xing looked at the maid curiously, her hands flying up and down on the face of the old lady of Weibei Marquis. Soon, the old lady of Weibei Marquis became listless and looked seriously ill again.
Xing Xing almost clapped her hands and exclaimed: "Sister is so awesome!"
The simply dressed maid pursed her lips and smiled: "Thank you, Miss."
When the old lady of Weibei Hou had finished applying makeup, Nan Yan, who was standing guard outside, suddenly reminded her loudly, "Old lady, the Marquis's wife is here. She said she came to see how you are doing."
The old lady of Weibeihou snorted.
Fortunately, the minor blemishes on the old lady's face have been repaired, and she looks perfect now.
Despite this, the old lady of Weibei Marquis still left Lady Weibei Marquis alone for a while before letting her in.
Mrs. Pang, the wife of the Marquis of Weibei, was a lady dressed elegantly and respectfully. When she entered the room, she asked the old lady of the Marquis of Weibei, "Mother, are you feeling better?"
The old lady of Weibei Hou coughed twice and said in a hoarse voice: "I feel a little better now. What are you doing here?"
Madam Pang looked worried and said, "My daughter-in-law saw that you invited the Yu family to come over, and she was afraid that you might be tired, so she came to check on you."
As she spoke, her eyes fell on Xing Xing. Seeing that she had not left yet, she was a little surprised, "Who is this little girl..."
The old lady of Weibei Marquis did not comment, but said calmly: "Xingxing and I get along well, so I'd like to ask her to stay with me for a while longer. Isn't this against the rules?"
The old lady of Weibei Marquis was not very polite when she spoke. Madam Pang was used to it and her expression did not change. She lowered her head and said, "As long as mother is happy. Mother is sick, and a happy mood is more important than anything else."
The old lady of Weibei Marquis was quite satisfied and said calmly, "Okay, you go to the warm pavilion to entertain the guests first. I will ask Nanyan to help me over to show my face later."
Madam Pang nodded in agreement and stepped back.
Xing Xing didn't understand anything and looked at the old lady of Weibei Hou with some confusion.
The old lady of Weibei Marquis tapped Xingxing's brow and smiled deeply: "... Wait, the best is yet to come. However, Xingxing, there is something I need you to help me with..."
Xingxing had been chatting with the old lady of the Marquis of Weibei. When the banquet was about to start, the Marquis's wife Pang and two other ladies came over, saying that they were here to visit the old lady of the Marquis of Weibei.
In fact, the old lady of Weibei Marquis knew what was going on, and this was to urge her to show up at the banquet.
Several daughters-in-law vied to support the old lady of Weibei Hou.
The old lady of Weibei Hou snorted coldly, but called Nan Yan to come and help her.
He also called Xingxing to come over and stay by his side.
The ladies of the Weibei Marquis's Mansion had apparently become accustomed to the old lady's bad temper, and they all followed her like little wives, lowering their heads and looking obedient.
When they arrived at the warm pavilion, the ladies who had already received the news stood up to congratulate the old lady of Weibei Marquis on her birthday.
The old lady of Weibeihou smiled weakly.
She coughed twice and said, "I am old now. I get cold at night and feel a little cold when I wake up in the morning. I came here just now. Please forgive me."
The old lady of Weibei Marquis spoke politely, but no one dared to respond with the word "excuse me". They all smiled and said that the old lady was too polite.
When the atmosphere was getting lively, a maid suddenly ran in hurriedly, with a pale face, and kept shouting "Oh no, oh no".
Madam Pang's face immediately turned cold.
Behind the maid, two more people came in.
This time, the ladies in the warm room opened their eyes wide.
However, the way these two people came in looked a little strange - the young man in brocade clothes was soaking wet, with even his hair dripping with water, and he was holding a figure in purple in his arms, who was also soaking wet and shivering.
"mother!"
The young man in brocade clothes was obviously very anxious, "Go find a doctor quickly!"
His teeth were chattering from the cold.
Madam Pang turned pale and cried out in shock: "Yun Yi?! What happened to you?"
The young man in brocade clothes was Zhou Yunyi, the youngest son of the eldest wife of the Weibei Marquisate.
Before Zhou Yunyi could answer, a lady next to him screamed again: "Jia Jia?!"
She rushed over, and seemed to be sure that the girl in Zhou Yunyi's arms was her daughter. She shouted in panic: "...Jia Jia, didn't you say you wanted to go to appreciate the plum blossoms? What's going on?!"
Mrs. Pang looked a little unhappy, but she still quickly asked the maid to take Zhou Yunyi and the girl named Jiajia to the side room where the earth dragon and the charcoal basin were to clean up.
"Wait."
This time, it was the old lady of Weibei Marquis who spoke.
The old lady of Weibei Marquis sat leaning in the chair at the head of the table. Her complexion, which was already not very good due to her illness, now looked even more frosty.
Pang's entire body paused slightly.
Zhou Yunyi's eyes flashed with anger: "Grandma!"
He said angrily: "I know you don't like Jiajia, but human life is at stake, you have to let Jiajia see a doctor first!"
"Oh." The old lady of Weibei Marquis pulled the corner of her mouth strangely. Before she could say anything, the Marquis's wife, Mrs. Pang, looked even uglier and shouted, "How dare you!"
Pang was furious and said, "Ayi, even if you are worried about Miss Wang's safety, you can't be so stupid as to talk to your grandmother like this!"
Zhou Yunyi lowered his head.
Although Pang had reacted quickly and rescued her in front of everyone, Zhou Yunyi was disrespectful to his grandmother because he was "worried about the safety of others and lost his mind for a moment."
But...at this moment, many ladies in the warm room were already making eye contact with each other.
The old lady of Weibei Marquis had already achieved the effect she wanted, and said calmly: "In that case, take Miss Wang to change her clothes."
When Zhou Yunyi heard this, he ignored everything else and hurriedly carried the girl to the side room.
The lady who had just called out "Jia Jia" also hurried over.
The warm room was silent for a moment.
The old lady of Weibeihou leaned back in her chair and said nothing.
Madam Pang's face turned pale and blue, and she didn't know what to say.
The second lady suddenly remembered something and asked the maid who had just rushed in to reply: "What on earth is going on?"
This is probably what many people in the room are thinking.
What is going on?
Why did the young master of Weibei Marquis's Mansion come in out of the blue holding a wet girl?
The maid knelt on the ground and said tremblingly: "To answer the Second Madam, I am just passing by..."
