It was noon, and the weather was warm.
Yan Yunuo, Xu Bingyue, and Yan Yuqing, who had already made an appointment, followed Chen Ji and hurriedly came to the courtyard gate of Xinzheku. Because Bai mama had an appointment with Chen Ji, she was standing outside the courtyard gate and waiting for a long time.
"Mama!"
Chen Ji flicked his horsetail whisk and smiled charmingly at Bai mama: "These girls are Su Wan's little sisters. It's okay to let them go in and take a look, right?"
"Ai, this was originally not allowed."
Bai mama pretended to show an embarrassed expression: "However, since Chen gonggong has spoken, this old slave will naturally give you face. There are not many people in the courtyard now, and Su Wan has just returned. You can go in and see her. Remember to be quick."
As she spoke, Bai mama waved her hand and summoned a servant of Xinzheku.
"Yue Mei, take them to see Su Wan."
Yue Mei was Bai mama's confidant. When she heard Bai mama's words, she immediately stepped forward respectfully: "Elder sisters, come with me!"
According to age, Yue Mei was several years older than Yan Yunuo and the others, but the harem was a place that paid great attention to rank and status. In front of high-level palace maids like them, the people of Xinzheku had to respectfully address each other as elder sister.
Because Su Wan lived in the innermost place, Yue Mei took everyone through almost half of Xinzheku's courtyard. Looking at the haggard palace maids in the courtyard, Yan Yuqing and Xu Bingyue both frowned, and Yan Yunuo's face flashed with discomfort: "Miss Yue Mei, what does Su Wan do in Xinzheku? Is it hard? "
Yan Yunuo couldn't help but inquire about Su Wan's recent situation. She was eager to know how Su Wan was doing here. When she heard Yan Yunuo's words, Yue Mei just smiled bitterly: "This elder sister, what we do in Xinzheku is the most lowly and laborious work. The newcomers are generally pouring night incense, cleaning the toilets of the third hall, or cleaning the weeds of the sixth hall. In short, their lives are cheap, how can they be qualified to say that it's hard?"
Hearing Yue Mei's words, Yan Yunuo's entire face turned pale. Yan Yuqing and Xu Bingyue looked at each other, and they subconsciously shuddered. This Xinzheku, is really not a place for people to stay.
"We're here."
At this time, Yue Mei's footsteps stopped in front of a dilapidated house: "This is where Su Wan lives. She came last and can only live in the farthest and worst room. You guys better be mentally prepared before going in!"
With that, Yue Mei took a deep look at the three of them, then shook her head and turned to leave.
"Sister."
Looking at the dilapidated wooden door, Yan Yuqing subconsciously pulled Yan Yunuo's sleeve.
Yan Yunuo also took a deep breath and stepped forward to push open the wooden door — —
"Creak!" As the wooden door opened, a cloud of choking dust splashed out.
"Cough, cough" Xu Bingyue, who was standing on the far right, choked on the dust and couldn't help but cough. Her coughing alarmed the people in the room.
"Sister Yunuo, you, why are you here?"
The entire room was very narrow. Other than an old wooden bed leaning against the wall, there was only a teetering wooden table and a chair that was missing a corner.
At this time, Su Wan was sitting on the wooden bed and lowering her head to apply medicine on herself. Hearing the movement at the door, she raised her head and looked at the three people at the door with great surprise.
"Xiao Wan!"
Facing Su Wan's gaze, Yan Yunuo's eyes immediately turned red — —
How could the Su Wan in front of her still have the delicate and healthy appearance from a few days ago?
At this time, she was wearing a shabby and thin coarse slave uniform, her long hair was slightly dry and messy, and her originally fair little face was now waxy yellow.
"Xiao Wan, what happened to your arm?"
Yan Yunuo's gaze fell from Su Wan's face to her body, and only then did she realize that there was a long bloodstain on her arm. At this time, the blood from the wound had begun to coagulate. Seeing such a long wound, Yan Yunuo immediately screamed, and Xu Bingyue behind her even turned her face to the side timidly.
"Don't worry."
Su Wan was very satisfied with Yan Yunuo's performance. She smiled weakly at Yan Yunuo: "This was accidentally scratched when I was working in the morning. It's nothing. I've often been injured these days, so I'll slowly get used to it."
As she spoke, Su Wan once again poured all the Jinchuang Medicine powder in her hand onto her wound. The piercing pain in that instant made her face deathly pale and a layer of fine sweat immediately seeped out of her forehead.
"Xiao Wan, let me help you apply the medicine."
Yan Yunuo saw that it was really inconvenient for Su Wan to apply the medicine by herself. She couldn't help but say as she quickly stepped forward. Yan Yuqing and Xu Bingyue behind her also looked at each other and followed her to the bed. The three people busily helped Su Wan treat the wound. Yan Yuqing took out a clean handkerchief from her arms and helped Su Wan bandage her arm.
After doing all this, Yan Yunuo couldn't help but sit by the bed and take Su Wan's hand: "Xiao Wan, I'm sorry. You suffered so much because of me. Don't worry, I will find a way to save you. I will definitely save you!"
"Sister Yunuo, I believe you. You are like my sister. In this harem, you are my dearest person, and Yuqing."
Su Wan's gaze slowly fell on Yan Yuqing and Xu Bingyue: "Yuqing and Bingyue are also good people. I'm really happy to know you sisters."
"Sister Xiao Wan, this is what we should do."
Without waiting for Yan Yuqing to speak, Xu Bingyue stepped forward and grabbed Su Wan's other hand: "Although I'm just a little palace maid of the Shangfu Bureau now, Sister Xiao Wan, I will find a way to save you with Sister Yunuo. You must wait for us."
"En."
After listening to Xu Bingyue's words, Su Wan's eyes flashed and she nodded firmly.
Yan Yuqing, who had been silent, moved her lips several times. Because Xu Bingyue always snatched the right to speak, she had to stand at the back sullenly and look at Xu Bingyue with a complicated gaze …
The four sisters didn't chat for too long before Bai mama sent someone to call Su Wan to continue working.
Seeing Su Wan's thin body staggering while carrying a thick wooden bucket, her figure became more and more deeply engraved in Yan Yunuo's heart — —
The so-called true sisters are like this. They can do anything for you and treat you with sincerity.
Xiao Wan, in this life, I, Yan Yunuo will remember your kindness and remember that you are my sister.
In her heart, she secretly vowed to repay Su Wan. When Yan Yunuo left, her eyes became particularly firm. She will think of a way, she will definitely think of a way … …
After Yan Yunuo and the others left, Su Wan returned to her room again. The heavy wooden bucket had long been taken away by Yue Mei. Bai mama looked at the wound on Su Wan's body that was still oozing blood and couldn't help but frown: "Miss Su, do you want to find someone to call Steward Wang over?"
In the eyes of Bai mama, this Miss Su was not a golden branch or jade leaf, but she was more precious than that. Such a person with such status would cut a knife on her body just like that. It was the first time Bai mama had seen a woman who was so ruthless to herself.
There were many women in the harem who knew how to play tricks, but most of them would cry, make a fuss, or try to frame others. How many people were willing to use their own bodies to make a fuss?
Their bodies were very precious.
"Don't call Wang Yi. Bai mama, you can go to the Imperial Hospital and help me get some painkillers."
Su Wan looked down at the wound on her arm. The wound was very long, and because there was a lot of blood, it looked very scary. In fact, the wound wasn't too deep. When Su Wan made her move, she also calculated the aim. In addition to the strong visual impact of bleeding, such a wound would only leave a very long and ugly scar.
Su Wan wanted to use this scar to constantly remind Yan Yunuo of what she had endured for her, and with Yan Yunuo's saintly character, she would never be able to escape from the palm of her hand in this life.
