Chapter 39 Stepmother Difficulty 4
"Yun Niang, you don't need to be polite." Dongtao hurriedly turned sideways to avoid the doctor's salute.

Although she is the eldest maid next to the eldest lady, their presence in the house has always been relatively weak, and Yun Niang is a medical girl, so no one wants to be friends with her.

"Excuse me, Yun Niang, please go to Liuguang Courtyard with your slave. My wife is feeling a little unwell, and I would like you to take a look at her." Dong Tao's attitude was very respectful. Yun Niang nodded, picked up the medical kit, and followed Dong Tao.

"Hmph, I think it's because he knew that the eldest girl was seriously injured, so he pretended to be injured. Otherwise, how could the eldest girl look good after being beaten like this?"

Dong Tao, who was walking in front, paused for a moment, then turned her head sharply and glared at the maid who spoke, "You can arrange it, madam? Do you want to die?"

The maid was frightened by Dongtao and took a step back. Her face turned pale, but she quickly regained her composure and said, "I'm not wrong. The lady was beaten like this, and Madam doesn't know how to persuade her."

A maid next to her pulled her. No matter what, she was the eldest lady. Even if she was not the boss in the house, it was not something they could cause.

"As a slave, can you speak to the master?" Dong Tao raised her eyebrows and glared at the maid with disgust, "Just wait and receive your punishment!"

After Dong Tao finished speaking, she walked out of Meiyuan with Yun Niang, who had been silent all this time, completely ignoring the fearful expression on the maid behind her.

Rewards and punishments have always been clear in the Hou Mansion, and there is a special steward to take care of the maids. Once a maid makes a mistake, the steward will teach her a lesson.

Dong Tao was right just now, even if the eldest lady has no sense of presence in the house, she is still the eldest lady, not the little maids like them who can talk about it.

Yun Niang followed Dong Tao all the way to Liuguang Courtyard, and took a breath when she saw the injuries on Tang Xin's body.

The main reason was that Tang Xin's waist looked really scary. She hurriedly went up to check it out, and finally breathed a sigh of relief. Tang Xin's injury looked scary, but it was actually not as serious as Xiao Yue's.

Yun Niang put medicine on Tang Xin's back, and then Tang Xin asked, "How's it going, Miss?"

"As I said, Madam, it may take several months." Yun Niang replied respectfully.

Although Xiao Yue's wound was inflicted leisurely, the skin and flesh are delicate and delicate. It will naturally take a while to recover from such a grievance.

"Please, Yun Niang, please keep an eye on me these days. I'm afraid she'll get fever at night." Tang Xin said and winked at Dong Tao, who understood and withdrew.

"Yun Niang, if the old lady asks, please tell the old lady that my injury is not serious."

Yun Niang looked at Tang Xin in surprise. Others were eager to take this opportunity to highlight the injury, but who knew that when Tang Xin came here, she actually did the opposite.

However, Tang Xin's injury should be fine after a few days of recovery, but it may take some time for the bruises on his body to subside.

Yun Niang nodded and left the medicinal wine for Tang Xin to apply every day.

Since Tang Xin was lying on the bed and it was inconvenient to see guests off, Dong Tao specially sent Yun Niang to the door and stuffed a purse into her hand, "Thank you so much, Yun Niang, my eldest daughter, please give me a snack. "

Yun Niang pushed it once but didn't push it away, so she accepted it and promised Dongtao, "Please don't worry, eldest lady, I will take careful care of the eldest lady."

With that said, Yun Niang said goodbye to Dongtao and returned to the yard carrying the medical box.

The doctors like them also have courtyards in the mansion. As soon as they arrived at the courtyard, they saw people coming from the old lady's courtyard.

She had to go to open the door again.

The incense slowly burning in the room was long. The old lady who was leaning on the couch slowly opened her eyes and looked at the person kneeling on the ground. "Tell me." "Reply to the old lady, everything has been taken care of by the eldest lady. I just need to stay in bed for a few months."

The old lady's eyes flashed with pity, but she just whispered "Yes".

The maid who was kneeling on the ground continued: "The eldest lady is indeed injured on that side. The doctor said it was nothing serious, but the servant secretly took a look and found that the eldest lady's entire lower back was bruised and she looked very scary. "

"My servant quietly inquired about it. The eldest lady specifically told the doctor that she would not be allowed to treat her illness as serious, but rather that it would be treated as mild."

The old lady slowly closed her eyes and waved to the maid on the ground, who immediately withdrew.

"Osmanthus, tell me, what does she mean?"

Osmanthus osmanthus was Grandma Wu's old name. Later she combed her hair and became a mammy, so the old lady would occasionally call her by this name.

Aunt Wu was sitting on the stool at the feet of the old lady and was beating her calves with a mallet.

Upon hearing the old lady's question, Grandma Wu replied respectfully, "I think the eldest lady knows that she is afraid, and she doesn't want the eldest girl's reputation to be damaged."

The old lady snorted coldly, "She is smart and knows how to sell well."

After a moment of silence, the old lady spoke again, "I still dote on Sister Yue too much on weekdays. Niang Xin is right when she says that jade cannot be used until it is polished. It's time for me to let go."

"I'm old and useless. How many more years can I watch?" The old lady lamented with a sad face, "The boss disappeared and was nowhere to be found. If I hadn't been so angry, I would have just given up."

"Old madam, what are you talking about?" Nanny Wu said quickly, "The uncle is still waiting for you to find him. No matter what, if you don't find the uncle for one day, there is still hope for one day."

Not to mention the Yongding Marquis Mansion, even the emperor was making arrangements to find people, but they all disappeared and no one knew where they had gone.

The old lady has always been a resolute person. She adjusted her mentality and sighed, "From now on, let her take on the responsibilities of the mistress."

These words brought a hint of relief and a hint of worry, and finally turned into reality. Mother Wu did not dare to raise her head or answer the words, and the room fell into silence.

Because Tang Xin was injured, she lay leisurely in bed for half a day. In just half a day, when she found out she was injured, people from the second and third rooms came to visit her.

"Speaking of which, the first room has been really unlucky recently. Why are the sister-in-law and sister Yue injured?" The speaker was Wu Chun'e, the second roommate, who always had a lively and cheerful personality.

"Second sister-in-law, be careful what you say." Shen Yuxue stopped her softly. She always had a quiet personality and was strict about everything she did. She was afraid of making mistakes.

Wu Chun'e couldn't help rolling her eyes and quickly took it back. If she hadn't happened to meet Shen Yuxue from the door, she wouldn't have wanted to come with her.

But she still had a smile on her face, "That's what the third brother and sister said."

The two of them entered the Liuguang Courtyard hand in hand, and were immediately greeted by a maid, "Second Madam, Third Madam, my eldest lady is in the room. It is not convenient to welcome guests. Please come in with two servants."

When the two of them entered the house, they saw Tang Xin half leaning on the bed. Seeing them come in, he smiled at them and said, "Second brother and sister, third brother and sister, I'm really sorry. It's not convenient for me to welcome guests. I was neglectful."
