Chapter 144 Living Like This
"I'll have someone send you some medicine tomorrow."
He paused for a moment after speaking, probably realizing he had said something wrong, and then changed his mind, saying, "It's better if I bring it myself. Your courtyard is getting more and more heavily guarded these days."
Yan Yun was still curious about who Jing Yue really was. After all, Jing Yue was in Changgu City when Yan Yun was there, and when Yan Yun came to Yuanjing, they met again. Jing Yue said he would send someone to deliver medicine.
Yan Yun recalled the two subordinates he had seen in Changgu City, but now he could hardly remember what they looked like.
After helping Yan Yun turn Qing'er over, Jing Yue was about to say something to Yan Yun.
The maids returned from the front yard. Although the front yard was lively, the young lady was still in the back yard, so they naturally had to hurry back as soon as possible.
After the shift ended, they returned to the room, only to find it empty again. They immediately shouted, "The young lady isn't in the room! Quick, go find her!"
Hearing the panicked voices of the maids, Jingyue said, "I have to go too."
He only came to see Yan Yun today.
He told Yan Yun that he needed to study and practice diligently, otherwise he would only be able to be beaten by others in the future.
Although he never said it when he came, he would tell Yan Yun that he was leaving every time he left.
Waiting for Jingyue to leave through the window.
Qiao You wiped Qing'er's face again and fed her some sweet water.
After she finished, she got up and opened the door. Mo'er was sitting outside.
Although Yan Yun didn't know how long she had been sitting, he knew that she had been talking to Jing Yue inside the room and that she had probably heard him.
However, she never revealed what she knew, and Yan Yun was unsure whether he could trust her.
Mo'er immediately stood up when she heard Yan Yun open the door.
She said to Yan Yun, "Miss, I'm going inside to take care of Sister Qing'er."
"Ah."
Yan Yunze went back into the house.
When the maids saw Yan Yun return, they breathed a sigh of relief and immediately brought all the snacks and meals that Zheng Jihua had arranged into the room.
"Miss, this is what the master instructed us to deliver."
Yan Yun looked at the sumptuous meal, which included a whole golden chicken.
Yan Yun hadn't dared to eat the chicken leg that Nan Yunjing had sent before, but he could eat the one that Zheng Jihua had sent without worry. Yan Yun took a bite of the chicken leg.
Indeed, if he doesn't eat meat, he feels weak all over. After eating meat, he feels much stronger, but if he eats too much, he feels greasy. He ate half a chicken leg and couldn't eat anymore.
Knowing that Qing'er couldn't eat anything right now, they could only wait.
Early the next morning.
Yan Yun got up early and instructed the maids to prepare the carriage, while she went to Qing'er's room.
She instructed her maid to find the servant named Stone for her.
When Shi Tou came over, he saw Yan Yun bend down. Although his gaze was first on Mo'er, Mo'er avoided his eyes.
Stone responded to Yan Yun.
"Miss."
Yan Yun pointed at Qing'er and said, "I'll have to trouble you to carry Qing'er to the carriage outside."
"We servants are your servants, Miss. We will do whatever you give us."
Stone bent over, unable to lift Qing'er's legs, so he had to bend his waist almost completely, his face nearly touching the ground.
Mo'er helped Yan Yun lift Qing'er onto the stone's back.
The concubine also got up very early today to come and see Yan Yun.
I drank quite a bit with Zheng Jihua last night, which is why I was late coming here.
As soon as she arrived, she heard Yan Yun talking to the stone.
Hearing Yan Yun's voice, the concubine's already somewhat unsettled heart immediately settled down.
She looked at the old woman beside her, seemingly wanting to say something but then stopping herself.
Just as the adults said, the child she gave birth to was a healthy baby.
Over the years, although Zheng Jihua gave him a lot because she gave birth to his first daughter, he never dared to raise his head in front of the old lady because of this daughter.
Because the old lady often said that everyone in the Zheng family was healthy, who would have thought that the concubine would give birth to a mute daughter.
Recalling those words, the concubine felt as if she were being pricked by needles every night.
Therefore, she was unwilling to face her daughter.
But now she heard her speak so fluently, not at all like a child. It turned out that her child had never been the mute the old woman had described.
The children I gave birth to are also healthy.
The concubine looked at the old nanny beside her.
The old woman naturally knew how much suffering he had endured.
"lady……"
The concubine shook her head.
She didn't want to talk about the past anymore.
After all, who could have imagined that she and Zheng Jihua have drifted apart and grown increasingly distant?
But now that Yan Yun has spoken, she has seen hope again.
She looked at the old woman and said, "Let's go, let's go back."
The old woman asked in surprise, "Why doesn't Madam go and see?"
The concubine said that she had already seen it and gotten the answer she wanted.
"Go see the master."
The woman who drank with Zheng Jihua last night was his concubine, but Zheng Jihua is currently in Lu Lan's courtyard.
Although Zheng Jihua was drunk last night, he still came to Lu Lan's room.
He and Lu Lan spent a passionate night together.
Lu Lan opened her eyes and looked at the man lying on his side beside her. She knew that even though Yan Yun had met Zheng Jihua yesterday, he hadn't said what she had said.
That girl wasn't as stupid as a pig.
Looking at Zheng Jihua's face, she kept thinking about what Yan Yun had said to her.
She was unaware of how much affection Zheng Jihua still held for her.
But it was also last night that she knew that in Zheng Jihua's heart, no matter who it was, Yan Yun was his number one.
She leaned against Zheng Jihua's chest, her eyes like knives.
He had to secure his position; what she wanted to do was far more than just being a wife.
Yan Yun had the coachman take Qing'er and himself to the academy.
Upon arriving at the academy, the gates were tightly shut, and Yan Yun jumped off the carriage.
She walked to the entrance of the academy and knocked on the door.
Is anyone inside?
A voice came from inside the door, "The academy's owner is not here, so we are not receiving any guests at the moment."
Yan Yun found the voice somewhat familiar and tentatively asked if it was Huiying.
The person inside immediately stood up and looked through the crack at the person outside.
Upon seeing that it was Yan Yun, she immediately opened the door. "Miss, please wait a moment."
Huiying removed the door panel.
Yan Yun said excitedly, "So it's Miss who's back."
She hadn't been there for a long time, and hadn't been back in the capital for very long, so naturally she hadn't come to the academy to see them.
When Huiying saw her, she noticed the injury on her face and was immediately startled.
"Miss, your face."
She stepped forward and reached out to touch Yan Yun's face, but then realized that her actions had gone too far and hurriedly withdrew her hand.
But she was still worried and asked Yan Yun how he got so badly injured.
And she had just heard the young lady's voice.
She looked around and said to Yan Yun, "Miss, you..."
Yan Yun shook his head, unable to explain it in a short time. "Huiying, go and find a few older sisters to help me carry Qing'er down."
Hearing this, Huiying glanced at the carriage parked to the side, then immediately went back to the backyard and called out several strong women. They tidied up quickly and efficiently.
Yan Yun pointed to the carriage beside him and said to them, "Please help me get Qing'er down from the carriage."
The women immediately went to the carriage, but when they saw Qing'er inside, they were just as startled as Huiying.
"Miss, what is this?"
Before they could finish speaking, they saw the injury on Yan Yun's face, and their reactions were the same: worry and surprise.
"Miss, how did your face get so badly injured? And how did Qing'er get so badly hurt?"
Yan Yun looked at them and said, "Qing'er will stay here after this, and it will be hard for her. Please take care of her."
"Miss, you're exaggerating."
The women together carried Qing'er down and took her to the backyard.
