Chapter 188 I don't have you in my heart
"Master, I don't have you in my heart at all."
Zhuifeng was making sarcastic remarks on the side, Zhao Jingyu tightly grasped the handkerchief and slowly said: "It's just a gathering among friends, you think too much."
Chasing the Wind: ...
I see. This is what it means to deceive oneself.
"Master, the Queen seems to be trying to find you a wife. She told the Emperor that it was pitiful that her brother was still single."
Zhuifeng deliberately muttered the three words "strangely pitiful", which made Zhao Jingyu feel overwhelmed.
woman?
Women are good, fragrant, soft and charming, but he is also afraid of women.
He and his brother walked on thin ice in the harem when they were children, and were accustomed to seeing all kinds of women's faces.
Concubines, palace maids, and nannies, this led to Zhao Jingyu not having much interest in women. If he had to say something, it might be because he valued his life.
But Su Jin is different. She seems to have no interest in anything, so all her expressions are written on her face.
In addition to being interested in food and drink, this woman should also like good-looking people.
The last time they got together, Su Jin kept looking at the three of them.
Thinking about it, Zhao Jingyu touched his face. He was still very confident about his appearance.
"She pursues her own affairs, and I live mine."
Zhao Jingyu turned around and got into the car. Zhuifeng also jumped in, picked up the lantern of Prince Rui's mansion, and they walked safely in the wind and snow.
The patrolling soldiers would not come up to check when they saw the lanterns, so Zhao Jingyu could pass through unhindered.
**
Yong'an Marquis Mansion.
Zou fainted and the situation was not optimistic.
Imperial Physician Zhang arrived, checked her pulse, and said to Gu Zhao, "The old lady has been worrying too much lately, and she is exhausted, and she has been exposed to the cold air. This winter, we must not let her catch a cold."
Can’t catch the wind?
That means you can't even leave the door, right?
Gu Zhao was feeling depressed. His wife had been with him for such a long time, but this was the first time she was so seriously ill.
"When will this person wake up?"
"It will take several hours. Even if he wakes up, he will be too weak to get out of bed. He will have to take medicine for a few days and then see how he develops."
Imperial Physician Zhang wrote out a prescription and gave detailed instructions before he stood up and said goodbye.
Not long after Imperial Physician Zhang left, Mother Li came again.
But Mother Li was not able to enter the house. The maid at the door told Mother Li that the old lady was sick and would not see anyone.
Mother Li frowned, feeling unlucky.
She had brought Mu Yanluo and her son here, intending to get Lin Wanhui out of the woodshed under the pretext of taking care of her grandson, but who would have thought that the old lady would fall ill.
Mother Li smiled and said with concern: "You need to rest well, but the old lady has always been in good health, so I believe she will recover quickly this time."
"Oh, I'm afraid it won't work."
The old woman lowered her voice, looked around to make sure no one was around, and said, "I heard that he was so exhausted that he couldn't get out of bed this winter."
"Ah, so serious?"
Although Mother Li was worried, she could not hide her joy in her heart.
Can't get out of bed all winter?
Then, wouldn't this Marquis's Mansion be without a steward?
Hahaha, isn’t this a great opportunity?
And since the old lady can't get out of bed, doesn't that mean Gu Changqing is the only one who has the final say in the mansion?
Even if there is an old marquis above him, he is old and doesn't take care of anything except handling official business!
The more Mother Li thought about it, the happier she became. She was afraid that she would laugh out loud, so she had to leave in a hurry.
After thinking about it, she suddenly felt that she didn't need to ask the old lady for help with this matter, so she should go to Gu Changqing.
So she carefully came to the study, choking with sobs, "Master, Yun'er is your only child, so I brought him back secretly. But now, the baby's mother has divorced and left the house, Yun'er has been exiled, our mother is locked up in the woodshed, and the old lady is sick again. There is no one to take care of this child. Master, please be kind and let our mother come out to take care of the child..."
Gu Changqing was already in a bad mood, but when he mentioned Gu Ziyun, he was reminded of the regret in his heart.
After thinking it over, he finally agreed to Mother Li's proposal.
After all, Zou was sick and there was no one left in the house, so Lin Wanhui had to take care of the child.
Although there is a wet nurse, it is better to have a relative nearby.
Thus, Lin Wanhui, who had been imprisoned for the second time, finally saw the light of day again.
This time Lin Wanhui learned her lesson. Besides, since Zou was ill and couldn't see anyone, Lin Wanhui didn't have to go to see her. With such a big trouble avoided, Lin Wanhui felt that she had finally made it through her time in the Marquis' Mansion.
Look, Su Jin is gone, the old lady is seriously ill, who is left in the Marquis' Mansion? There is no one left, so she has to take over!
So she went to Gu Changqing first and cried, expressing her feelings. She also implicitly said that there was no one in charge of the Marquis' Mansion now and she wanted to share the worries for the old lady.
Gu Changqing said calmly: "Mother asked Butler Sui Yu to go find her."
Butler Gu Suiyu?
Who the hell is Gu Suiyu!
Lin Wanhui looked unhappy, but still smiled and nodded, and served Gu Changqing comfortably before returning to Luoxuexuan with a cold face.
"Mom, you're back!"
When Gu Ruyu saw her coming back, her eyes immediately turned red: "I didn't dare to go out during this period. The servants in the mansion dared to bully me. They didn't dare to do that when my mother was here!"
After Lin Wanhui was locked up, the servants in the mansion immediately changed their attitude towards Gu Ruyu. The main reason was that the mother and daughter had a bad relationship with others, and now that Lin Wanhui was in trouble, everyone ignored Gu Ruyu even more.
Gu Ruyu was originally very panicked because her elder brother was sent to the army and Lin Wanhui was imprisoned, but now everything is fine because Lin Wanhui has been released.
"Hmph, whoever bullied you, remember this. Now that I'm out, they won't have a good life in the future!"
Lin Wanhui was determined to succeed, no, it should be said that she felt that her position as the mistress was a sure thing.
Mother Li said happily, "That's right, Third Miss, from now on, the mistress of the Marquis's Mansion can only be our young lady, and the master has even let our young lady be the housekeeper!"
"Great!" Gu Ruyu was instantly delighted. She grabbed Lin Wanhui's hand and said, "Then can I find a good marriage? Mother, didn't you see Gu Suiyu's betrothal gifts? There were two full boxes of corals and night pearls..."
Gu Ruyu spoke sourly, but Lin Wanhui sneered: "That's nothing, you will definitely be better than her in the future!"
"But..." Mother Li said worriedly, "The fourth young lady is now the housekeeper. If she takes the power, will she give it to us?"
"Oh!" Lin Wanhui said nonchalantly, "Are you afraid that you can't deal with Gu Suiyu?"
Didn’t I use Lin Yousheng to almost ruin Gu Suiyu?
Now that Su Jin is gone, it’s much simpler.
"Tell the accountant that I want to check the accounts. Also, send some money home. Now that Su Jin is gone, our Lin family can move back to the capital openly."
