Jie a husband is too arrogant

Chapter 97
The three of them drank until after noon, and the Su family brothers were so drunk that they uttered big words, Zhu Hecheng asked the girls from the two buildings to help the two of them go to the room to rest, and he took the steward out of Zuihuan Pavilion.

From then on, Zhu Hecheng often entertained the two brothers of the Su family, coming and going, becoming more and more acquainted, like old friends.

The two of the Su family also thought that they had money now, and their identities were different, so they were valued by Zhu Hecheng, and they started to walk with their chests up and their necks up.

In Zuihuan Pavilion, they each took care of two girls, lingering and forgetting to return, often not going home, and the money was sent to Zuihuan Pavilion like flowing water.

The daughters-in-law of the two slapped it a few times, but they couldn't stand it, and they began to complain in private that they didn't want the containers from Ji's mansion.

In the afternoon of this day, after lunch, Ji Yuxian pestered Su Jiu not to let her go out, and took a nap with him.

The two were lying on the couch, how could they still fall asleep peacefully, Su Jiu was disturbed by Ji Yuxian for a while, she really felt a little sleepy, she nestled in his arms and fell asleep.

Ji Yuxian, however, made such a fuss that he was unbearably moved, and the pain was unbearable, he hugged the girl tightly to fill the emptiness, kissed her heavily, and was afraid of waking her up and losing his temper, so he dared to pretend No kisses, soothe the commotion in the body.

Suddenly, someone seemed to be talking and walking in the yard outside, awakening the quietness of the summer afternoon.

Ji Yuxian frowned, seeing that Su Jiu in his arms hadn't been woken up, he calmed down.

However, the voice outside became louder and louder, and there seemed to be a woman's voice faintly.

The man's brows were filled with displeasure, he gently placed Su Jiu on the couch, covered her with a thin quilt, and then got up to go out.

After leaving the bedroom, Jin Feng immediately came over to report something, Ji Yuxian's long eyes swept behind him, Jin Feng immediately shut his mouth knowingly, and led Ji Yuxian to the yard.

After staying away from the bedroom and making sure that Su Jiu would not be disturbed when she was sleeping, Jin Feng said, "The woman who lost her hairball and got under our car that day said her cat had entered the Izumo Pavilion and wanted to come in Look for it. The guards at the door refused to let her in without the young master's consent, she was pestering her and refused to leave, making a fuss, so I had to send a few people to find her a cat."

Ji Yuxian frowned slightly, and asked, "Why did her cat come to Ji's mansion? Does she live in the mansion?"

"Yes! This woman is the younger sister of the Third Young Madam's natal family. Her name is Ren Yu. She came to accompany the Third Young Madam! She just entered the mansion yesterday, and the Second Madam agreed!" Jin Feng replied.

Ji Yuxian nodded lightly, "Find her the cat and tell her to leave quickly!"

"Yes!"

Jin Feng responded, and just about to give orders, he saw a white shadow suddenly jumping in front of his eyes, slid up to a crabapple tree nearby and disappeared.

Two or three guards ran over, holding a net for catching cats, and greeted Ji Yuxian.

"Go!" Ji Yuxian said.

Several guards ran under the tree, only to hear the cat screaming, it turned out that it had crashed into the cicada's sticky net and couldn't get out.

In summer, the sound of cicadas was noisy, and the tall trees in the yard were hung with sticky nets to catch cicadas. The cat slammed into it indiscriminately, unable to get out, and screamed loudly.

Seeing Ji Yuxian's displeasure, Jin Feng immediately said, "Hurry up and get that cat down!"

"Yes!" A guard held a long pole and wanted to stab the cat down.

"Don't!" Suddenly there was an urgent shout, and the woman in pink ran over like a gust of wind, and shouted in a panic, "Don't hit it, it will be scared!"

Ji Yuxian's phoenix eyes swept over, and it really was the girl who was waiting beside his carriage yesterday.

The girl waited impatiently, and was worried that others would hurt her cat, so she ran in through the air regardless of the guards' obstruction, followed by the two guards behind the door. Seeing Ji Yuxian, she panicked and said, "This subordinate is negligent!"

Ji Yuxian waved his hand and let the two go down.

Ren Yu walked up to Ji Yuxian, rolled his big eyes, and said shyly, "You are Brother Ji, right?"

Hearing her address, Ji Yuxian's eyes flickered lightly, and the corners of his lips pursed, "Don't intrude when you live in the mansion, and don't let your cat intrude!"

Ren Yu nodded obediently,

He smiled innocently, bit his lip, and said, "Brother Ji, don't let someone hurt Snowball, please? It's actually quite obedient, but it's just that it's not used to it when it's just here, so it was scared and ran in here in a panic!"

The girl's voice is delicate and cute, which makes people unbearable to criticize.

Ji Yuxian nodded lightly, and told Jinfeng, "Help her catch the cat!"

Jin Feng responded, jumped onto the crabapple tree, and caught the sticky net and the cat down together.

The girl looked at it in amazement, puffed her cheeks, and said in a pretty voice, "This brother is so powerful, like a fairy, he flew up all at once!"

Hearing her exaggeration, Jin Feng chuckled and gave the cat to her, "Hold it well, don't throw it away!"

Ren Yu bent his eyes and smiled, nodded heavily, gently stroked Baimao's back, rubbed his face against the cat's head, and said in a coaxing tone, "Snowball, did you hear what brother said? Don’t run around, if you run around, there will be no fish to eat!”

The cat nest calmed down in her arms and let out a soft cry.

Ren Yu waved at Ji Yuxian and Jin Feng, and said with a smile, "Thank you two brothers for your help, I'm leaving!"

After finishing speaking, she turned around and walked out, her skirt fluttering like a flower.

Ji Yuxian also turned back and asked quietly, "How is Ren Zhier's illness?"

Jin Feng whispered, "Without your order, she is still like that!"

The corners of Ji Yuxian's lips curled into a sneer, "She helped me, so she was spared, but if her body recovers, her mind will be alive, so let's just be sick like this!"

Jin Feng nodded, "Yes!"

Ren Yu went back to Ren Zhier's Tangfeng Courtyard, the maid Taozi was about to go out to find her, when she saw Ren Yu she was relieved, "Where did miss go, it took me so long to come back!"

Ren Yu raised his eyebrows, walked briskly into the yard with Xueqiu in his arms, and said coquettishly, "I won't tell you!"

Tao Zi looked at her young lady with a smile and followed behind.

"Did sister drink the medicine?" Ren Yu asked.

"The medicine has just been boiled, and it's still hanging out!" Tao Zi replied.

"Then I'll go and have a look! My sister doesn't like Snowball, so you help me hold it and give it a bath. It must have been dirty when I ran up a tree just now!" Ren Yu handed the cat in his arms to Taozi.

"Yes, Miss!" Tao Zi carried the white cat to her room, while Ren Yu straightened her clothes and went into Ren Zhi'er's bedroom.

"Sister!" Before entering the door, Ren Yu yelled crisply.

Ren Zhi'er was half leaning on the couch to doze off, when she heard this, she frowned, opened her eyes and watched Ren Yu jump in, and scolded, "You have already grown up to be a big girl, so you can't be more cautious!"

Ren Yu didn't care, sat on the edge of the low couch dangling his legs, pouted and said, "Got it!"

Ren Zhi'er lingered on the bed for a long time, her eyes turned blue, her cough and shortness of breath got better after entering the summer, but she still looked weak and weak.

Ren Yu took the medicine bowl and blew it, and carefully fed it to Ren Zhier, "The doctor said that this medicine should be drunk while it's hot!"

Ren Zhi'er frowned subconsciously when she smelled the sour and bitter taste, and reluctantly opened her mouth to take a sip, and hurriedly took a candied fruit and put it in her mouth.

While feeding her medicine, Ren Yu asked curiously, "Sister, I have been here for two days, why haven't I seen your young lady here?"

Ren Zhi'er licked the corners of her lips with a handkerchief, and said, "Young Madam is usually in the Izumo Pavilion, and no one is allowed to enter there, so you can't see it!"

"Oh!" Ren Yu rolled his eyes and asked again, "What does the young lady look like? Does your eldest son like her?"

Ren Zhi'er looked up at her, and said with a smile, "You are a girl, why do you ask this?"

"I'm curious! Sister, tell Yuer quickly!" Ren Yu took Ren Zhier's sleeve and acted like a baby.

Ren Zhi'er put down the medicine bowl, and said, "I think you are too busy, if you have nothing to do, you can go home, so as not to accompany me through the illness!"

The two are sisters of the same mother. Ren Yu is lively and smart, and she is the youngest in the family. Ren Zhier has always loved this sister very much.

Ren Yu pouted and sat on the edge of the couch, muttering, "I don't want to go back! My parents asked me to stay with my sister. I have to wait for my sister to recover from illness before going back!"

Ren Zhi'er was a little tired, closed her eyes and rested her mind, and said casually, "Then you should calm down and don't bother me!"

"Understood!" Ren Yu pulled the thin quilt beside her to cover Ren Zhi'er, looked sideways at the full-blown acacia flowers outside the window, and pursed her lips with a smile.

In the Izumo Pavilion, Su Jiu woke up when she was asleep, and opened her eyes to see Ji Yuxian sitting beside her, reading a book in her hand.

The afternoon sun came in and shone on the man's dark red robe, like a cloud of red clouds unfolding. The silver thread embroidered on it flowed like a stream of light, against the man's jade-like profile, exuding a quiet and noble beauty.

The man's long and narrow eyes turned around, and he smiled dotingly, "Are you awake?"

Su Jiu nodded, and tilted her head to rest on his lap. Her voice was a little hoarse just after waking up, but there was something lazy and charming in her ears.

"You didn't go out?"

Ji Yuxian caressed her eyebrows with Qingjun's long fingers, "No, it's rare that you are at home, so I don't want to go out!"

Su Jiu felt lazy in her heart, and asked, "What time is it?"

Ji Yuxian said, "It's time to apply."

Su Jiu stretched and stood up, about to put on her shoes and get down.

Ji Yuxian hugged her waist from behind, resting his chin on her shoulder, his voice was sexy and sweet, "Where are you going?"

"There are some matters in the firm that I need to discuss with Chang Huan," Su Jiu said.

"Going so late? When will you be back?" Ji Yuxian was a little unhappy.

"I don't know, come back after discussing!"

"Then I'll wait for you for dinner!" The man turned his head slightly and kissed her earlobe.

Su Jiu looked back at him, leaned over and kissed him on the lips, and said with a smile, "Okay!"

The man became greedy again, trapped her in his arms and kissed her again.

It took a long time for a cup of tea before Su Jiu went out, licked her slightly swollen lips, and strode out.

As soon as I arrived at the gate of the courtyard, I saw a woman standing there pleading with the guard guarding the gate, "Brother guard, please let me in. I'm a woman, I don't know martial arts, and I don't bring any weapons. I'm afraid I might get hurt." Your son is not up?"

"This is the rule, girl, please go back!" The guard was begged by a delicate little girl, his face flushed, but he still stopped her from entering.

Su Jiu walked over, and several guards greeted him hurriedly, "Young Madam!"

Ren Yu stared at Su Jiu with wide eyes, and said blankly, "So you are, you are,"

Su Jiu chuckled, "Miss Ren!"

Ren Yu immediately smiled, "Hi, Young Madam!"

Su Jiu smiled lightly, looked at the food box in her hand, and asked, "Is there something wrong?"

"Yeah!" Ren Yu nodded obediently, smiling innocently, "Brother Jin helped me catch the snowball at noon, and I personally made cakes for Brother Jin, thank you!"

It turned out that he was looking for Jin Feng, Su Jiu raised his brows, and said with a light smile, "It happens that Jin Feng didn't go out today, so go in!"

Seeing what Su Jiu had said, the two guards immediately retreated to the two sides.

Ren Yu's eyes sparkled, and he grinned, "Young Madam is so kind!"

Su Jiu pursed her lips and walked out of the courtyard.

Ren Yu stood there, watching Su Jiu walk away, then turned around and made a face at the guard and entered the yard.

The yard is very quiet, with old trees lined with shade, pavilions and terraces facing each other, every step is a scene, Ren Yu came in in a hurry last time, this time he looked around, the more he looked, the more he liked the scenery in the yard, and he was not in a hurry to find Jin Feng I picked a lotus leaf from the pond and teased the koi in the pond for a while before getting up and continuing to walk inside.

Going up the steps, walking along the Chaoshou veranda to the depths of the yard, seeing the window in the front room was open, walking over with a pretty voice, hiding behind the window and looking inside.

On the low couch under the window, a man was reading a book with his back on his back. His black hair was like satin, and the red robe on his body was loose, exuding a sense of elegance and elegance.

The girl blushed slightly, put the food box in her hand on the ground, walked lightly to the window, and stretched out her arms to cover the man's eyes.

She used to joke like this with her brothers at home, and they were always amused.

The wrist was suddenly grabbed, the man didn't turn his head, he just smiled and said, "Why haven't you left yet?"

Ji Yuxian was absorbed in reading, and when he heard the movement behind him, he only thought that Su Jiu was teasing him, besides, there was no other woman in this yard who dared to play tricks on him like this.

Ren Yu froze there, the man's gentle and melodious voice was completely different from the previous two times, with a touch of pampering, it made people's heart skip a beat.

For a moment, Ji Yuxian sensed something was wrong and turned around abruptly.

Ren Yu was startled, and hastily pulled her hand and squatted down, and covered her face with the green lotus leaf with the other hand.

Ji Yuxian came out and looked at the girl hiding under the window with a dull expression, "It's you again!"

Ren Yu stuck out her tongue, stood up, holding a lotus leaf in her hand, her pretty face was a little embarrassed, "I, I'm here to find brother Jinfeng!"

"What do you want him for?" Ji Yuxian asked.

"He helped me save Snowball, and I'm here to thank him." The girl said, picking up the food box on the ground, and showing it to Ji Yuxian, "I made the pastry myself!"

Ji Yuxian frowned slightly, "Then what are you doing here?"

"I, I," the girl blushed, and hurriedly said, "I saw the wrong person! I thought, I thought you were Brother Jinfeng!"

Ji Yuxian knew she was lying, and his face became a little paler, "Get out!"

The girl bit her lip, with tears in her eyes, and said softly, "I'm sorry, I really didn't mean to disturb you, so don't be so aggressive! I'm really here to find Brother Jin."

Ji Yuxian took a deep breath, and said softly, "Put the food box there, I'll have someone hand it over to Jin Feng!"

The girl immediately smiled, "Thank you Brother Ji!"

Putting the food box on the ground, Ren Yu pursed her lips and winked at Ji Yuxian coquettishly, took her lotus leaf, bounced down the stone steps and walked out.

Ji Yuxian's gaze fell on the food box, his eyes darkened slightly, and he called Mo Yu and asked her to give the food box to Jin Feng.

Jin Feng was a little surprised when he saw the food box, but he didn't think too much about it. He shared the snacks with a few guards and ate them.

When Su Jiu arrived at the firm, she saw a carpenter downstairs refitting the containers for the time-honored brands that will distribute goods in the firm in the future.

After standing there watching for a while, and pointing out the appearance of the container according to the type of goods, Su Jiu went upstairs.

As soon as he went upstairs, he heard Nangong Bi's chattering voice, as if he was arguing with Chang Huan again.

Su Jiu went in and saw that Qiao An was also there, sitting at the side drinking tea.Annoyed by Nangong Bi's noise, Chang Huan half-lyed on the wooden chair with his ears plugged, pretending to sleep.

"Su Jiu!" Nangong Bi saw Su Jiu first, and immediately came up to him, "Why did you come, I've been waiting for a long time!"

Chang Huan seemed to see a life-saving straw, excitedly said, "Boss, you finally came, I was almost tortured to death by this girl!"

"Bah!" Nangong Bi spat at him, "Who told you that I am a young lady who knows nothing!"

Qiao An came over and poured a cup of tea for Su Jiu, "Master! I'll help Chang Huan sort out the books, you can sit here with Miss Nangong!"

"Okay!" Su Jiu replied.

Chang Huan and Qiao An hurriedly withdrew.

"Su Jiu, I'm so depressed and panicked, I don't know who to tell, I can only talk to you!" Nangong Bi changed her arrogance just now, and suddenly put her chin in one hand and sighed.

"What's wrong?" Su Jiu asked.

Nangong Bi bit her lip, she seemed embarrassed to say it, and said after a while, "I overheard my father outside the study last night saying that King Zhao asked the emperor to marry me to be his concubine in the morning court!"

King Zhao?Second prince?

Su Jiu looked at Nangong Bi's appearance and asked, "You don't want to?"

"Of course I don't want to. Although there is no main concubine in Prince Zhao's mansion, there are already two side concubines and one concubine. I don't want to marry and compete with those women every day for men!" Nangong Bi snorted coldly.

Su Jiu blinked her eyes, remembering that Ji Yuxian also had a third concubine before, it seemed to be nothing!

"You don't want to talk to your father!" Su Jiu said casually, sipping tea.

"Hey! Su Jiu, you don't understand, if the emperor grants a marriage, even my father has no right to disagree!" Nangong Bi's face was depressed.

"Isn't King Zhao okay?" Su Jiu didn't think it was a big deal to have a concubine, she just didn't like to fight.

Nangong Bi's facial features were wrinkled together, and she said in a low voice, "I have only met King Zhao a few times, and he is quite handsome and kind. But I know that he doesn't really want to marry me at all, he just likes me The military power in the hands of my father and elder brother is to pave the way for him to become the prince in the future. Since he doesn't really want to marry me, if I marry me, it will definitely not treat me well, so I specify not to marry!"

Su Jiu's eyes flickered, so there were these reasons in it, she thought for a while and said, "Then you go and tell your father, the emperor knows that you don't want to, and he won't force you!"

Nangong Bi shook her head, "If the emperor really wants me to marry his son, how can he take my feelings into consideration? He is the emperor, he said what he said, my father is just a courtier, it is impossible to influence his decision,"

Su Jiu let out an "oh", for the powerful generations of officials like Nangong's family would have so much to do.

"What are you going to do?"

Nangong Bi's brows became more and more tightly wrinkled, and she completely lost her usual cheerful appearance. She bit her fingers and thought hard. Suddenly, she raised her head and smiled, "Otherwise, you can marry me!"

"Pfft!" Su Jiu spat out a mouthful of tea.

"Su Jiu, what do you mean? Don't you like me? Am I so ugly?" Nangong Bi was not happy.

"No, no!" Su Jiu wiped her mouth with her sleeve and shook her head.

"Since you like me, then go to my house to propose marriage. My brother admires you very much and will persuade my father to agree. As long as I make a marriage, the emperor will not be able to give me a marriage!" Nangong Bi thought of this "Okay Idea", I feel that I have found a solution, and the more I talk about it, the happier I am.

"No, I can't marry you!" Su Jiu interrupted Nangong Bi's dream and said firmly.

"Why not, do you have someone you like?" Nangong Bi asked with a frown.

Su Jiu shook her head, "No, that,"

"What's so so? Su Jiu, you have always done things freely and neatly. Why did you become such a mother-in-law when you said you liked me?" Nangong Bi spoke like a cannonball, fast and anxious.

Su Jiu thought about whether to tell her that she was also a woman, hesitated for a moment, but said, "I'm already married!"

"Huh?" Nangong Bi looked at her blankly.

"Yes!" Su Jiu nodded again and again, "I'm already married to my wife!"

"Where is it? Why haven't I seen it before?" Nangong Bi's eyes widened, and she looked at her in disbelief.

"In, in the countryside!" Su Jiu made up nonsense.

"So you've already married a lady, so why leave her alone in the countryside?" Nangong Bi asked with blinking eyes.

"He's used to being at home and doesn't like coming to the city."

"Oh!" Nangong Bi was a little disappointed, sighed, and muttered to himself, "You are already married. You are younger than my brother, and my brother is not married yet! Then what should I do?"

"I don't think you need to worry too much. Although King Zhao asked for marriage, the emperor did not agree to it, which means that he did not agree. If he agreed, he would agree at that time!" Su Jiu persuaded.

"That's right!" Nangong Bi nodded, and then she felt relieved, "That's right, the emperor didn't agree, what am I worried about?"

Nangong Bi was relieved, her smile spread, and she returned to her heartless appearance.

After sitting for a while, seeing that it was getting late, Nangong Bi bid farewell and left.

After she left, Qiao An and Chang Huan entered the flower hall and let out a long breath.

Qiao An asked, "Miss Nangong?"

Su Jiu nodded, and told about King Zhao's proposal to Nangong Mansion.

Qiao An frowned slightly, lowered his eyes to think for a moment, and said softly, "King Zhao has taken a fancy to the military power of Nangong Mansion!"

Su Jiu nodded, "Nangong Bi just said that too!"

Qiao An smiled lightly, "Even Miss Nangong can see it, and the emperor should understand it in his heart. I heard that the emperor often invites His Royal Highness Prince Rui into the imperial study for discussions these days. It seems that King Zhao is in a hurry. But such a haste will make people Your Majesty has a grudge in his heart, King Zhao's move is really at a disadvantage!"

"Will the emperor marry Nangong Bi to King Zhao?" Su Jiu was still concerned about Nangong Bi's marriage.

Joan shook his head, "Probably not!"

Su Jiu felt relieved, and thought of Xiao Lie again, "The emperor is interested in Xiao Lie, do you want to pass on the crown prince to him?"

"Prince Rui does things prudently, which is deeply liked by the Emperor, but the mother clan of the Empress and Concubine Xian are not vegetarians, so no one can be sure who will be the crown prince in the end until the end."

Su Jiu nodded, secretly hoping that Xiao Lie could become the prince.

She seemed to understand him, although everything seemed indifferent, but she definitely didn't want to fall behind.

After talking about Nangong Bi, several people discussed the business promotion situation of the firm.

Shengjing City has a long history, and there are many time-honored brands in the city. Chang Huan went to discuss it in person. Now besides Guiyuanzhai, there is also a wine shop and a dye shop that have been negotiated.

Now that the business of the commercial firm is booming, everyone in Shengjing City can see it, so Chang Huan used to talk about cooperation smoothly, and the shopkeepers of those shops readily agreed.

As the matter spread, two shops approached Chang Huan before he went out in the morning, willing to move his shop into a commercial firm.

For the time being, there are only eight groups of containers on the first floor, so Chang Huan can't accept all of them, and only waits for the final selection of suitable goods to be brought in.

Several people discussed it, and seeing that it was getting late, Su Jiu and Qiao An went downstairs and left together.

In the evening, the weather suddenly became gloomy, with thunder and lightning, and within a short time, heavy rain poured down.

The wind is howling, the rain is rushing, and it looks like a waterfall falling from the sky.

The summer heat in June was swept away, and her breathing became easier. Su Jiu stood in the corridor, her skirt was wet and she didn't even know it.

Ji Yuxian came from the study room, saw the girl in the corridor frowning slightly, walked over quickly, pulled Su Jiu into his arms, saw her body splashed with rain, and reprimanded her in a low voice, "Standing here in the rain, you're so stupid!" No? What about Moyu and the others?"

After finishing speaking, he turned his head and wanted to call people.

Seeing his uneasy expression, Su Jiu hurriedly said, "Don't shout, it has nothing to do with them, I just think the room is boring!"

Ji Yuxian's handsome face showed some helplessness, and led her into the house.

"If you can't see it for a while, it will make you worry!"

Su Jiu shrugged, and did not quarrel with him, and entered the room obediently.

In the middle of the night, the wind eased, but the rain still didn't stop, it seemed to be getting heavier and heavier, and the crackling of plantains outside the window disturbed people's dreams.

It rained intermittently for three days, and Su Jiu couldn't go out. She read, wrote, and played the piano with Ji Yuxian every day. Now she can play a piece of music proficiently.

In the afternoon of this day, the rain subsided, pattering down on the eaves, dripping down like drops of water, and splashing fine sprays on the grass blades.

The weather was gloomy and the room was dark, so the lights were lit early.

The lights are dim, and the rainy night is more and more quiet.

In Tangfeng Courtyard, Ren Zhi'er probably suffered from the humidity of the rainy day, but felt that her chest became more and more uncomfortable in the past few days, and she drowsy and drowsy after drinking medicine.

A candle lamp was lit on the desk case, the flame was small and flickered unclearly, as if a gust of wind could blow it out.

Faintly, Ren Zhi'er seemed to hear someone talking in the outside room, and she became a little more awake, only to feel chills all over, and wanted to call someone, but her throat was silent for a while.

Just about to try to sit up, Tao Zi, Ren Yu's maid outside, shouted in a low voice,
"Miss, where are you going when it's raining?"

Ren Yu said happily, "After it rained, the pond was full. Young Master took us to appreciate the lotus and catch fish. We caught a big fish!"

Ren Zhi'er was startled when she heard the words, a look of sadness flashed in her eyes, young master?

How long has she not seen the son?

It seems that since Xie Ying's death, she has been ill and has never seen Ji Yuxian again.

She was sick in bed, and the young master went to appreciate the lotus with his younger sister. Yes, Ren Yu was lively and lovable, and he was better looking than her sickly appearance.

At home, mother and father loved Ren Yu a little more.

Ren Zhi'er was thinking wildly, only to feel that there was a big stone in her chest, and she couldn't breathe under the pressure. She gasped for a while and coughed a few times.

When Ren Yu in the outer room heard it, she hurried in, sat on the edge of the bed and stroked her back, "Sister, are you awake?"

Ren Zhi'er looked up at her younger sister's flowery face, and then at her haggard and pale face in the bronze mirror, her heart ached, and she slowly closed her eyes.

"Taozi, hurry up and bring medicine for sister!" Ren Yu shouted.

"Yes!" Tao Zi replied, turned and left.

"Yu'er, I won't get better from this illness for a while, you'd better go home!" Ren Zhier said weakly, leaning on the soft pillow.

"I won't go! My mother asked me to stay with my sister, how can I go back?" Ren Yu pulled up the quilt for Ren Zhier, leaned gently on her shoulder, and said reminiscently, "Sister, do you remember? When you were not married, we often slept in the same bed, and you told me the stories in the playbooks, Yuer likes being with her sister the most!"

Ren Zhi'er heard the words, thinking of the time when she was at home, she was in a trance for a while. At that time, she loved to watch the stories of idiots and resentment in drama books, and hoped to marry a lover in the future. It seemed that she didn't know when it started. Forget it.

Ren Zhi'er raised her hand to caress Ren Yu's face, and said with a faint smile, "Yu'er, you must marry someone who likes you, and it's best that you like him too, so that you can live a life of peace and joy."

Under the shadow of the bed curtain, Ren Yu blushed, "I just like him, and he will like me in the future!"

Ren Zhi'er was startled, and looked down at her, "Do you really have someone you like?"

Ren Yu turned her eyes and hurriedly said, "No! I don't go out all day, and I don't even see a man. How can there be someone I like?"

Ren Zhi'er looked at her suspiciously, and just about to ask again, Tao Zi lifted the beaded curtain and walked in, saying, "Third Young Madam, the medicine is cold, it's time to drink it!"

Ren Yu immediately got up and took it, "Let me feed my sister the medicine!" Sitting by the bed with the medicine in hand, Ren Yu carefully put the spoon under Ren Zhi'er's lips, and slowly fed it to her.

Seeing Ren Yu being so careful and appropriate, Ren Zhi'er felt that she was thinking too much. Her sister was just a little bit playful, and her thoughts were pure. Wouldn't she have any thoughts about Ji Yuxian?
Maybe it's because I often can't sleep well at night, and I become suspicious.

After drinking half a bowl of medicine, Ren Yu suddenly asked, "Sister, you had a dream last night and kept calling Xie Ying, don't come here! Who is Xie Ying?"

Ren Zhi'er's face changed slightly, and she asked in a trembling voice, "Did I call Xie Ying?"

Ren Yu nodded blankly, "Yes, I also shouted the night before yesterday!"

"Cough, cough, cough!"

"Cough cough cough cough!"

Ren Zhi'er coughed suddenly, and coughed up all the medicine she had just drank, her face was terribly pale.

Ren Yu hurriedly patted her on the back, "Sister, what's wrong with you?"

Ren Zhi'er shook her head, her eyes were a little terrified, and she clutched the quilt tightly. The horror scene when Xie Ying hanged herself flashed in her mind again. She yelled, covered her head with the quilt, and her body trembled.

"elder sister!"

"elder sister?"

Ren Yu put down the medicine bowl and hurriedly lifted her quilt, "What's wrong with you?"

"Don't touch me! I'll be touched!" Ren Zhier shouted in panic.

"Sister, I'm Yu'er!" Ren Yu went to bed and hugged her.

After a while, Ren Zhi'er calmed down, hugged Ren Yu and said in panic, "Yu'er, sleep with me tonight!"

Ren Yu's eyes flickered, and he nodded, "Okay!"

At night, Ren Zhier was in low spirits, so she took off her clothes early and went to sleep. Ren Yu slept on the outside of the bed, and put a glass of water on the small table before going to bed, in case Ren Zhier was thirsty in the middle of the night.

The rain outside the window had stopped at some point, and there was silence, and the candle lamps on the table gradually dimmed.

After the third watch, Ren Yu woke up suddenly, and listened carefully, it seemed that something was hitting the window.

She lifted the bed curtain and looked out carefully, the sound became clearer and clearer, it was indeed someone banging on the wooden window, the sound was not loud, but it made people feel chills down the spine.

Ren Yu's expression changed, and she hurried to shake Ren Zhier awake, "Sister, sister! Wake up!"

"What are you looking out the window for?"

Ren Zhi'er opened her eyes in a daze, and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Sister, look out the window quickly?" Ren Yu panicked.

Ren Zhi'er stood up slightly, looked at the window in the dim light, only heard a "boom", as if something had bumped into it, and there was the faint sound of a baby crying.

Ren Zhi'er's face turned pale all of a sudden, trembling while holding Ren Yu, "Yes, what is it?"

Ren Yu was also very scared, "I don't know, it can't be a ghost?"

This question frightened Ren Zhier so much that she picked up the pillow and threw it towards the window, and shouted, "Go away, go away!"

In a panic, Ren Yu poured water on the small table, and the window paper was splashed wet. Suddenly, a pale face appeared from the soaked window paper, his eyes were dark and staring, and his tongue stretched out to the bottom of his neck. The light flickered, strangely It was gloomy, exactly the same as Xie Ying's appearance when she hanged herself.

Ren Zhi'er's head buzzed, and when she rolled her eyes, she was frightened to death.

"Sister, sister!" Ren Yu shouted in panic.

The white face on the window disappeared in a blink of an eye, leaving only a broken hole through which the wind blew in.

Nianxiu, Ren Zhier's personal maid, was sleeping in the outer room, and was awakened at this time, and ran in, seeing this situation, she panicked.

Ren Yu yelled a few times, seeing that Ren Zhi'er was not awake, she turned her head and said, "Don't be dazed, go and call the doctor!"

"Yes! This servant is going!" Nianxiu hurried out.

The rest of the night watchmen also entered the house, Ren Yu said, "Go and invite the eldest son, tell me that my sister has passed out and is in a critical situation!"

The servants were startled when they heard this, and hurriedly went to the main courtyard to invite Ji Yuxian.

Hearing that something happened to Ren Zhier, Ji Yuxian and Su Jiu came to Tangfengyuan together.

After entering, old man Gu had already arrived and was administering needles to Ren Zhi'er.

Seeing Ji Yuxian rushing towards him, Ren Yu hugged his arm, with tears in his eyes, and said aggrievedly, "Brother Ji, Yu'er was scared to death, because things kept hitting the windows all the time, Yu'er and sister were frightened !"

The girl was wearing a middle coat and a thin outer shirt. The ink was scattered on both sides, and her immature face was full of fear, which made people feel pity.
