Chapter 296 The Second Master is Drunk Again
"You know you're impulsive, but you still don't learn to control yourself. How do I teach you?"
"Chao Chao, Mu Mu, you and Yang Yang are brothers, like real brothers. When you grow up, you will still be the closest siblings. You can only fight against the outside world together, and you must never destroy your own brothers."
The two children wanted to refute.
Yun Qiao then looked at Chen Yang and lowered her voice, "Yangyang, you're not a child anymore. You should be able to understand what I'm saying. Your sister Nian Nian is sick, so she can't respond to you. But you can't call her a fool. You should protect your sister like your two brothers, okay?"
Chen Yang nodded while crying.
"Aunt, I understand. I'll remember what I said."
"I was just a little angry. I kept calling my sister, but she ignored me."
Li Yuan stepped forward and slapped his son. "Didn't your brother tell you that your sister was sick? You bastard, you called your sister a fool? I really want to beat you to death."
"Yuan Niang, don't interfere in the fights between children."
"The children are young, just a few words will be enough."
Chen Jingyan and Gu Heng were still talking happily, not taking the fight between the children seriously at all.
Li Yuan pulled Chen Yang aside and gave him a lecture. She threatened him that she would deal with him when she returned to Chunhui Garden.
Yun Qiao also scolded her two sons, but also praised them. They said that they should stand up when their sister was bullied, but Chen Yang was also their younger brother, and what they should do was educate him instead of beating him with fists.
After their mothers gave them a lecture, they asked them to shake hands and make peace.
By the time it was time for dinner, the three children had reconciled. Children's conflicts come and go quickly.
Chen Yang also picked up some food for Nian Nian. He also apologized and said sorry to his sister.
In the future, he will work with his two brothers to protect his sister.
For the first time ever, Nian Nian reached out and touched Chen Yang's head, then continued eating with a blank expression.
It was just a very subtle movement, but it made Yun Qiao seem to see hope.
She even sounded a little choked up.
"Just now, just now Nian Nian, she was responding to Yang Yang..."
"Yes, you read that right. Believe me, Nian Nian will definitely get better in the future. With so many children, playing and fighting might help her."
"Second brother, do you think this is possible?"
Chen Jingyan looked at Gu Heng and asked.
Gu Heng said: "It is hard to say whether such a mysterious thing is possible or not. Perhaps external stimulation can bring about some miracles."
Yunqiao seemed to have hope.
She looked at Nian Nian with eyes full of love.
Children are the apple of their mother's eye, but Nian Nian is the one she loves the most.
Yun Qiao had wanted to give Gu Heng some advice on how to be nice to Li Yuan during dinner, but she forgot about it because of the noise made by the children.
After dinner, the children were making a fuss, so Yun Qiao asked Li Yuan to take Chen Yang back first and told her not to talk about the children anymore. Chen Yang was a very nice person, but he was angry because Nian Nian didn't respond to him.
After Yun Qiao explained carefully and patiently, Chen Yang also promised to treat his sister well in the future.
Then there is no need to blame the child anymore.
Li Yuan walked in front holding his son. Gu Heng had two drinks with Chen Jingyan today. Looking at Chen Jingyan's three sons and one daughter, he also wanted to have more children.
But now, Li Yuan is divorcing him.
How should this matter be resolved? He was not afraid of business matters, but once it came to feelings, Gu Heng was at a loss.
Gu Heng frowned and followed Li Yuan back to the house with her, not noticing the disgust in Li Yuan's eyes.
"Second Master, you live in the wing room."
Without waiting for Gu Heng to speak, Li Yuan said directly: "I have to take Chen Yang tonight and can't take care of the Second Master. I will let Cuilan go to the Second Master's room to serve."
There is nothing wrong with what Li Yuan said.
Gu Heng said: "Then you should also rest early."
Cuilan is Li Yuan's maid, but she is from Chunhui Garden, not Li Yuan's dowry maid. Although she works under her, Li Yuan knows very well what she is thinking.
When Li Yuan was unwell before, he also thought about taking a concubine for Gu Heng.
I just wanted Cuilan to give it to Gu Heng.
Before opening Cuilan's face, she was asked about it. Cuilan said that she was following the lady's wishes, but she couldn't help but feel happy in her heart. Before her face was opened, Cuilan was arrogantly bullying others by saying that she was the second master's concubine.
Li Yuan was unhappy and didn't give her a good face.
And it just so happened that Gu Heng was angry with her at that time, and left home in a huff to go out on business. Even if she was given the chance, he didn't want it, so he simply ignored it.
Now that Cuilan was asked to take care of the Second Master, Li Yuan had actually long wanted to push Gu Heng out.
Cuilan immediately said, "Second Master, I will wait for you to rest. Madam is not feeling well, so please don't force yourself."
Gu Heng looked at the maid in front of him.
He had no impression of the girl named Cuilan Cuiju.
He just remembered that they were all Li Yuan's maids. When he heard her talking today, he frowned in displeasure.
Although he was unwilling, he did not refuse since he saw Li Yuan's order.
He just hummed softly.
He was already feeling unwell after being drunk today. He was out on business all year round, and was always accompanied by male servants, never with maids. Those male servants followed him all over the country, and now that they were back in Kyoto, Gu Heng asked those who needed to rest to rest, those who needed to go home to see their wives and children to do so, and those who needed to visit their mothers to do so.
Thinking that there is no one to serve me these days, it’s okay to let Cuilan take care of me.
Inside the room, Li Yuan heard Gu Heng's agreement.
Just say a few words to Cui Ju.
Cui Ju's face turned green when she heard this. "Madam, you know exactly what Cui Lan is up to, yet you still let her serve the Second Master. What if..."
"No matter what happens, just do as I say."
Aster was reluctant, but nodded and went out.
He instructed the other servants to serve Li Yuan.
Cui Ju went to the side room and called out to Cui Lan.
"You'd better behave yourself. No matter what the relationship between the Second Master and the Madam is like now, it's not something you can interfere with."
Cuilan smiled sweetly, "Cui Ju, you are just jealous of me. I am prettier than you, I speak better than you, and I am gentler. Besides, the Madam has long wanted me to be the Second Master's concubine."
"I heard everything the Second Madam said to you."
"The Second Madam asked you to come and tell me that I should serve in the Second Master's room during this period of time, but now you come to criticize me. When I become the Second Master's woman, I will be the first one to make sure you are not forgiven."
Cuilan snorted as she spoke, took the foot washing water, turned around and left.
Aster was so angry that she stomped her feet on the spot.
You slutty fox, you have no shame.
Cui Ju had just been thinking about not listening to the Second Madam's words and secretly teaching Cui Lan a lesson so that she could know the situation better.
Unexpectedly, she dared to eavesdrop on the conversation between the Second Madam and him.
What a shameless thing.
Don't even give me face.
Ugh.
Cui Ju couldn't control Cui Lan either, so she could only curse a few words in her heart, then turned around and went back to the second lady's room cursing.
Cui Ju is an honest person who speaks without thinking, but her loyalty to Li Yuan is evident.
Cuilan is very clever in what she says and does, but she harbors selfish motives.
Cui Ju didn't dare tell the Second Madam, as she knew that the Second Madam was now in conflict with the Second Master.
If there was another troublemaker like Cui Lan in the middle, the relationship between the Second Madam and the Second Master would definitely deteriorate even faster.
That night, Cuilan wanted to take advantage of Gu Heng's drunkenness to get promoted.
Before she brought in the foot-washing water, she specially applied lip balm on her lips. A maid like her, who worked in the Marquis's Mansion and received a monthly salary of two or three taels, would make quite a bit of money if she saved it up, so the lip balm she used was not cheap.
She specially chose rose-flavored lip balm today, applied it on her face, and walked into the house with the footbath water.
Gu Heng had already fallen on the bed, closing his eyes and holding his forehead, thinking about how to coax Li Yuan.
But he felt a little uncomfortable in the head after being drunk, so he wanted to sleep for a while.
Cuilan brought some water and quietly walked up to Gu Heng.
She pinched her throat and said, "Second Master, Cuilan is here to wash your feet."
"Second Master..."
Gu Heng nodded and let Cuilan take off his shoes and socks and start washing his feet. After the washing was done, Cuilan didn't even take the water out. She took off her clothes and went to bed to take care of Gu Heng.
"Second Master, I will take you to bed."
