In troubled times, the daughter-in-law returns

Chapter 21 Ruthless
"What kind of person you are has nothing to do with me," Sikong Ye said indifferently, "I just want to know when your illness will recover."

Lan Kexin felt desolate in her heart, she said weakly: "If it is possible..., I would like to... immediately... recover..." But the illness came like a mountain, and it went like a thread, she could what to do?
Barely standing up, she tugged at the bell rope at the head of the bed.

There are such bell ropes in the master's room of the city lord's mansion, which look exquisite and beautiful, and are very decorative. The bell ropes are twisted with gold threads, and the other end is tied with a bell, which is in the servant's room.This is actually used to notify the servants to come and serve. After all, as a person of status, it is indecent to yell when you need to employ someone, especially if you are a lady.

Pulling the bell, Lan Kexin lay on the pillow with half-closed eyes, her breathing sounded like a broken bellows, rough and unpleasant.

Qiong Zhi quickly rushed in, saluted Sikong Ye first, then stood there bewildered, she didn't know who was trying to order him.

Lan Kexin accumulated her strength for a long time before she said: "Medicine, bring me the medicine, I... want to take it!"

Qiong Zhi turned to look at Sikong Ye, but didn't move.

Sikong Ye said coldly: "Who are you serving?"

Qiongzhi shivered and retreated.

The medicine Lan Kexin was taking was hung on the stove over a small fire, and she could take it at any time. She put a towel on her hand and brought in the medicine bowl. She saw that the two people still kept their original posture and remained motionless.

Lan Ke didn't move, it was because she couldn't move, she was ill for so long, she could barely eat, it was strange to have strength, she even thought it was a miracle that Lan girl could live till now!
Walking quickly to the bed, first put the medicine bowl on the low cabinet by the window, and then helped Lan Kexin to sit up.

Lan Kexin couldn't sit still by herself, so she helped her up and immediately slid down softly.

Qiong Zhi was so anxious that a layer of cold sweat broke out on her head, and her fingers began to tremble slightly. She had no choice but to grit her teeth and pull the bell cable.

Rui Zhi quickly rushed over, feeling the strange atmosphere in the room, she was terrified.

Qiongzhi quickly winked at her, telling her to come closer, Ruizhi walked over with her hands and feet, and was pressed by Qiongzhi to sit on the side of the bed, asking her to hug Lan Kexin, while Qiongzhi herself blew Lan Kexin until it was cool. The hot soup was fed to Lan Kexin's lips with a spoon.

Lan Kexin took the medicine with her open lips that were almost peeling, and tried hard to swallow it. From her expression, it could be seen that this process was very painful, but she was still enduring it, and there were even tears in the corners of her eyes.

Ruizhi was very distressed, and asked in a low voice: "Miss, can I take it?" It was only half a spoonful of medicine just now!It's already so difficult!
Lan Kexin closed her eyes, her chest heaved violently, and just as she was about to nod, she opened her mouth, and with a "wow", all the medicine she took just now spit out.

Qiongzhi was unprepared and was sprayed all over the face.

She didn't even bother to wipe her face, first picked up the handkerchief to help Lan Kexin wipe off the stains around her lips, and asked anxiously: "Girl, how are you?"

Lan Kexin's face was covered with sweat, and she had fainted.

Ruizhi hugged Lan Kexin, tears streaming down her face, "Gu...girl..."

Qiong Zhi wiped the stains on his face indiscriminately, put down the medicine bowl, turned around and knelt down in front of Sikong Ye, before he could speak, tears came down, "Young City Master, you have already seen it, our girl It’s not that she refuses to take medicine, it’s that... she can’t take it! Young City Master! Please pity our girl! It’s not easy for her to be such a good girl!”

Sikong Ye's expression loosened for a moment, and after a long time, Ruoyou Ruowu sighed, "I will find someone to come and see her again, you all take good care of her!"

After that, he got up and left.

Qiongzhi fell on the ground, tears soon wet the ground in front of her eyes, she knew that the young city master was indifferent, but she didn't know that the young city master could be so cruel!The girl is already like this, yet he doesn't even have a single gentle word!

Or, the young city lord's heart has been completely taken away by that vixen?

Later, an old doctor with white beard and hair came to the City Lord's Mansion, accompanied by a female disciple. The master and the apprentice came to give Lan Kexin a diagnosis and treatment. Insert it into the stomach through the nostrils, and directly inject mild medicine and various tonic soups.

After going on like this for three days, Lan Kexin's physical condition finally stabilized. She was able to pull out the pumpkin vines and drink liquid food and medicine normally, but she was still very weak.

Qiong Zhi and Rui Zhi were already very satisfied, and said happily: "The girl finally came back from the gate of hell!"

Lan Kexin was lying weakly in the middle of the quilt, she was so thin that she was out of shape, she looked very pitiful, she didn't want to talk, it was too much effort.

Rui Zhi said quickly: "Girl, although the young city lord has not come over these few days, he will send someone to ask about the girl's situation every day, and the young city lord will not go to that vixen's place either. It can be seen that this time Girl, you scared the young city master!

"Let's just say, after so many years of friendship, how could the Young City Master ignore it! This is a friend in need! Girl, I'm afraid you will be rewarded for your hardships in the future!"

"Is it...?" Lan Kexin had a bitter face, "If so, why didn't he come to see me in person?"

Qiong Zhi glared at Rui Zhi, and hurriedly said: "Girl, you also have to be considerate of the Young City Master, he is always very busy."

Lan Kexin closed her eyes, and her words were as light as smoke, "Am I not considerate enough for him?"

Both Qiong Zhi and Rui Zhi were silent, they have never seen anyone who is more tolerant than their own girl, okay?
Mu Xue didn't pay attention to Lan Kexin's situation. In her eyes, Lan Kexin was just like a passerby.

It's just that Sikong Ye didn't show up for three consecutive days, which made her a little bit puzzled, because she needed to rely on Sikong Ye's power, so she hoped that Sikong Ye could give some references for her action plan, although she might not adopt it.

She also needs to know more about Sikong Ye, lest he become a resistance to her leaving.

Jiang Kui asked Mu Xue to go to the Rouge shop together, and this was the first time the two met outside.

Mu Xue tidied up briefly, and took Xiao Ning to the appointment.

Because her appearance was so outstanding, she attracted crowds of people almost as soon as she showed her face. The three floors outside the cosmetics shop were full of people vying to see her beauty.

It took Jiang Kui a lot of effort to squeeze in, and when she saw Mu Xue sitting leisurely inside choosing rouge, she suddenly realized, "I said why are there so many people outside, so there is a stunning beauty sitting here!"

The two are already familiar with each other, and they occasionally make some harmless jokes.

Mu Xue picked up a box of rouge and said, "This color is very suitable for you, but it's not fragrant enough, I think..."

Before he finished speaking, a sharp voice suddenly came from outside: "The one inside is that vixen!"
