Chapter 215 Preferential Treatment
Xie Fengyue's face was almost healed, leaving only some faint red marks.
She took the glass bottle given by Gongzi Yan and applied it carefully in front of the mirror. The cool touch made her mind particularly clear.
She felt that Gongzi Yan's leaving without saying goodbye must be due to some misunderstanding.
A few days ago, she was caught up in things, blindly digging into the corners of things, which made her unable to figure things out.
After these two days, she felt that things were not as she thought.
Although Gongzi Yan is not an upright husband, he is not the kind of person who talks nonsense. He said at that time that he would marry her, and that was true. As for his sudden trip to Shu, something must have happened that forced him to I couldn't say goodbye to her clearly.
The more she thought about it, the more she realized that was the truth.
Most of the depression in my heart has also dissipated.
After casually changing his clothes, he put on his curtain hat and headed to Lin's Mansion.
Lin Qishu has invited her several times, and she will feel sorry if she doesn't go to the appointment again.
Aunt Lin led her to walk in the mansion, but this road was not to Lin Qishu's yard. She asked, "Where are you taking me?"
Grandma smiled heartily, patted her head and said, "Oh, look at my slave's memory, I forgot to explain to the girl that our daughter is at the old lady's place today, and she asked the slave to take you there directly."
"Today is another day for the ladies to pay their respects to the old lady?" Xie Fengyue asked.
Mammy still had a smile on her face, but her voice was much softer: "It was the day before yesterday, but the girls were filial to the old lady."
Xie Fengyue smiled playfully when she heard this. How could this be filial piety? This was showing her face in front of the old lady on behalf of her father and brother at home.
The sun was scorching, and even though she was holding an umbrella, Xie Fengyue was still sweating when she arrived at Zhongrong Pavilion.
When Lin Qishu saw Xie Fengyue coming, her eyes flickered, and she looked at her as if the savior had arrived: "Sister Yue, I miss you so much."
She had no rules, but Xie Fengyue could not lose them. After squeezing Lin Qishu's hand, she bowed politely to the old lady sitting at the top.
"I heard from Shu'er that your face was injured before. It's been so long and it's still not healed." The old lady waved to Xie Fengyue and asked.
Xie Fengyue sat obediently on her lower right: "Thank you, old lady, for caring about me. I'm almost doing well, but the doctor said I need to stay away from the wind to avoid recurrence, so I put on a curtain hat, but I lost my dignity in front of you. ”
The old lady patted her hand and said distressedly: "Good child, you have suffered. I also suffered from rubella when I was young. I know that you are feeling sad, so what are you talking about?"
While they were talking, the waiter at the door shouted: "Miss Liu is here."
Xie Fengyue glanced at Lin Qishu, who was sitting on the left, through the veil.
She blinked with a complicated expression.
Those who can be reported by the servant are all people with status and status. This Liu Ying is a sojourn merchant girl, and she will never be able to report it. It seems that Miss Liu is getting along like a fish in water in the Lin Mansion these days. ah.
When Liu Yinghuan happily walked in, she saw that the lower right seat where she usually sat was occupied by someone. The man was wearing a curtain hat, and she couldn't see his appearance. After she saluted, she pretended to be ignorant and asked : "Grandma, what is this?"
Xie Fengyue was surprised by Xiao Xiao.
Can Liu Ying call Mrs. Lin her grandmother?
Lin Qishu obviously couldn't get used to hearing this from her grandmother. She rolled her eyes and said, "This is my sister Yue. Please sit down today." Her tone was not good, and the old lady did not interrupt. Instead, she smiled and spoke. : "I am a guest from afar. The moon girl rarely comes to my house this year. Today she is sitting in front of me."
The old lady had already spoken, but Liu Ying had to put it away no matter how reluctant she was. She turned and walked towards Zhou Jiamin, a girl she knew well.
Zhou Jiamin patted her hand comfortingly, lowered her head and seemed to comfort her a few words.
This made Xie Fengyue even more surprised. When did the girls from this aristocratic family become so easy-going as business girls?
Girls from aristocratic families are indeed easy-going on the surface, but that is only for those of the same class. For those girls from common people, they just have eyes on the top of their heads. The better ones can not bully them. Don't be insulting and ignore them. If you meet someone with a bad temper, just saying a few harsh words will be considered a minor offense.
The old lady's expression turned bad after she said something special. After coughing for a long time, she was helped back to the back room by her grandma.
Xie Fengyue lowered her eyebrows and thought. The old lady was in good spirits when she came last time. How could she be in such a bad state after only a month?
After a while, Xie Fengyue got the answer from Lin Qishu.
Seeing that the old lady had left the table, the girls dispersed one by one and gathered together in twos and threes.
The most gathered people were Liu Ying and Zhou Jiamin. At a glance, there were five or six people there.
Lin Qishu rolled her eyes at Liu Ying before whispering to Xie Fengyue.
"Are you also curious about why Miss Liu receives such preferential treatment?" Lin Qishu leaned closer and whispered.
Xie Fengyue lifted the gauze to reveal half of her face, and nodded gently.
She was really curious about what Liu Ying was capable of.
"My grandmother was seriously ill a few days ago, and the doctors in the government were worried. It was Liu Ying who took out her family's ancestral prescription and cured my grandmother."
Xie Fengyue stretched out her hand and pinched her face: "Have you learned to say half of it and half to hide it? It's just a trick, but it won't make her a guest of your Lin Mansion."
Lin Qishu sighed: "My grandmother's illness has been hidden from me. I don't know the details. I just heard that the prescription's name is"
"What is it?"
Lin Qishu pursed her lips at a loss for words: "It's human blood. Liu Ying drained a large bowl of blood every day without letting her grandmother know. After seven days of bleeding, she fainted next to the medicine stove because of excessive blood loss. Someone discovered it, so I took the matter to my grandmother.”
"When my grandmother found out, she lamented her purity and filial piety, and even considered adopting her as her adopted daughter. If my brother hadn't stopped me, I would have had a little aunt."
After Xie Fengyue listened, she asked thoughtfully: "What's going on with your grandmother's illness?"
Lin Qishu suddenly found a close friend: "Do you think my grandmother's illness is strange? My grandmother has three doctors taking turns taking pulses every day. She is obviously in good health, so how could she suddenly become ill?"
After finishing speaking, she suddenly stopped: "But my brother has been checked for several rounds. The government doctor said there is nothing wrong with him, and there is nothing wrong with his daily diet."
Lin Qishu looked sad: "Forget it, she saved my grandmother after all. She can show off as much as she wants. Anyway, she can't touch a hair on my face."
"Is the old lady not treating you as well as before?" Xie Fengyue asked calmly. ”
Lin Qishu thought for a moment and said, "Well, my grandmother would give me anything before, but now Liu Ying picks it first."
She shook her fan lonelyly, "The most important thing is that my grandmother deliberately brought her and her second brother together."
