Zhu Mansion
After Zhu Yao returned from Ning 'an Villa, she stayed in her room and did not go back. She was already feeling unwell, and on the way down the mountain, Li Shiyan suddenly ran over to ask her about Miss Ji. She already had a pretty good idea of what was going on. As a result, she had been depressed ever since she returned. Her mind was heavy and she kept thinking about Miss Ji.
She kept thinking about every word Li Shiyan said, and every time she stayed in the room, she would either be in a daze or in low spirits. Her eyes would turn red from time to time, but when the tears were about to fall, she would force them back.
Her heart was always sour.
It was like being pricked by needles!
In the meantime, Minister Zhu came over a few times. Seeing his daughter like this, he sighed a few times.
In the end, he did not know what to say and could only leave …
Madam Zhu, who loved her daughter dearly, stayed by her side.
Seeing her daughter like this, she felt very sad. Several times she wanted to talk about the marriage between the two families, but she swallowed the words.
She really did not know what to say!
She stayed by her side silently, occasionally saying a few caring words to Zhu Yao.
But Zhu Yao did not listen or reply, just sitting there in a daze.
She looked like a lamp that was about to run out of oil.
"Sigh …"
Cai 'er came in from outside with a pot of wolfberry tea. She walked to Madam Zhu's side and said, "Madam, do you want some tea?"
Madam Zhu replied, "How can I drink tea now?"
She was worried about her daughter!
Cai 'er said with concern, "Madam, why don't you go back to your room and rest? This servant will take care of Miss. It's already midnight." Madam Zhu glanced at Zhu Yao, who was sitting by the bed, and sighed. She got up and walked over. She held Zhu Yao's hand and said, "Yao 'er, Mother knows that your heart isn't feeling well, so there are some things that I can't talk to you about right now.
Mother is worried about you when you are so uncomfortable! Moreover, your father and I are doing this for your own good. We do not want you to suffer in the future. Mother hopes that you can understand and understand this painstaking effort. "
Her tone was gentle.
Zhu Yao still did not move. Her eyes were tired and empty as she stared at the ground. Her hands were tightly clenched together, not knowing if she heard or not.
In the end, Madam Zhu had no choice but to instruct Cai 'er, "Take good care of Young Miss. Don't let her do anything stupid. If anything happens, you must come and tell me."
Cai 'er nodded. "Yes, this servant understands. Madam, rest assured." Madame Zhu was about to leave when she suddenly remembered something. Pulling Cai 'er along, she quietly left the room and asked, "That's right, this time there was a murder case at Ning' an Villa. It's said that Yao 'er found evidence. She also knows something about … the blood test? He even conducted an autopsy?
Yao 'er had always been afraid of those things, so why would she do a blood test? What was going on? Tell me in detail. "
Cai 'er didn't expect her to ask such a question. She was at a loss for words. "This …"
"What is this?"
Zhu Yao had promised Ji Yunshu not to tell anyone else, and Cai 'er had also promised not to tell anyone. Thus, she hesitated for a long time.
Madame Zhu anxiously pulled her back and scolded her, "You, this girl, when did you become like this? Hurry up and tell me, just how did Yao 'er know all of this? If you don't tell me the truth, I'll punish you! "
Cai 'er was terrified. She tried her best to lower her head and shrunk her shoulders. With great difficulty, she managed to squeeze out a few words. "This servant also doesn't know. Those things … might have been learned from a book."
"Do you think I'll believe such words?"
"This servant really doesn't know. Madame, please don't force this servant."
"You're not telling the truth!" Madame Zhu was furious. She also knew that Cai 'er had always been loyal. Perhaps she knew something, but she wouldn't say it.
In the end, Madame Zhu could only leave since she couldn't get anything out of her.
It was late at night, and the autumn wind rustled outside. It was extremely cold. The cold wind blew against the several windows in the room, making 'pa pa' sounds. After Cai 'er saw Madame Zhu off, she returned to the room and hurriedly closed the windows, conveniently blowing out two candlesticks in the room. She walked over to her Young Miss and slowly squatted down, holding Zhu Yao's ice-cold hand.
Her voice was choked with emotion. "Young miss, don't think about it anymore. What should be in the past must be in the past. If you and the heir are fated to be together, no one can separate you. It's better to leave everything to fate. This way … your heart will feel better!"
Normally, Cai 'er wouldn't talk about these so-called principles!
Zhu Yao's eyes moved slightly, but she didn't say anything in the end. "This servant has always been with Young Miss, so I know Young Miss's thoughts. You like the heir and want to be with him, but there are some things that can't be forced. Seeing you like this, this servant is very worried and sad. Young Miss, don't think about it anymore, okay?
”
"Cai 'er …" Zhu Yao suddenly called out in a soft voice.
"This servant is here!"
"Have you ever loved someone before?"
"… No!"
Zhu Yao smiled bitterly. She looked at Cai 'er for a while, then suddenly got up and walked to the window. She opened the previously closed window again.
In that instant, the cold wind suddenly poured in, blowing against her face and causing her to shiver. But no matter how cold it was, it couldn't compare to the coldness in her heart.
Cai 'er hurriedly brought over a cloak and draped it over her. Just as she was about to close the window —
Zhu Yao blocked her hand. "It's nothing!"
"The wind outside is so strong. Young Miss, you're not feeling well, so it's better to close the window. If you catch a cold again, what will you do? The gains don't make up for the losses! "
"Go and rest. Don't worry about me."
"This servant isn't tired. I'll just accompany you like this." Cai 'er silently stayed by the side. Seeing that she still wasn't willing to close the window, she found a warm stove and placed it next to her.
It warmed the air a little!
Zhu Yao didn't know how long she stood in front of the window. It was only when the sky was about to brighten that she went to bed to sleep for a while.
But —
She woke up again after only two hours.
It was as if she had a nightmare!
When she woke up, her forehead was covered in cold sweat.
She was also panting lightly.
Cai 'er came in as soon as she heard the noise. She quickly walked to the bedside and asked worriedly, "Young Miss, what's wrong?"
Zhu Yao's eyes were bloodshot. Her face was pale and ugly, and she looked weak and listless. After taking a few rough breaths, she immediately lifted the blanket and got out of bed barefooted. She muttered, "I'm going to look for Shiyan. I'm going to look for him. I'm going to look for him …"
Look for Li Shiyan?
She didn't know what she was dreaming about, but right now, she just wanted to rush to Li Shiyan!
Cai 'er was terrified. Just as Zhu Yao was about to rush out of the room, she hurriedly blocked her way and said, "Young Miss, how can you go out like this? Quickly lie down on the bed. "
"Don't stop me. I'm going to look for him. I'm going to look for him …"
"This servant can't let you go out like this. Young Miss, no matter what, you have to take care of your own body. Don't let Master and Madam worry," Cai 'er said while crying.
Zhu Yao's body was weak, and her whole body was hanging down. If it wasn't for Cai 'er supporting her, she would have already fallen down. And no matter what Cai 'er said, she couldn't dispel her thoughts. Right now, she only wanted to look for Li Shiyan. She couldn't be a bird in a cage forever. She couldn't be controlled by others forever. She wanted to fight for her own happiness.
Otherwise, she would regret it for the rest of her life. Her eyes were red as she grabbed Cai 'er's hand and begged, "Cai' er, take me to see him, okay? Let me see him once, just once. I can't just let it go like this, I can't let Father break off the engagement. I'm begging you, take me to see him!"
Take me to him, I beg you … "
What kind of master would beg a servant?
Cai 'er also cried, but she was also in a difficult situation. On one hand, Madam Zhu had repeatedly told her to take good care of the young miss. On the other hand, she had followed the young miss for so many years.
She was in a dilemma and didn't know what to do!
"Young Miss, with your current body, how can you go see the heir? If something unexpected happens and your illness worsens, what should we do? You should wait until your body is better before going. "
"I don't care about that much. Right now, I just want to see Shiyan and ask him a few questions. If you don't take me to see him, I will die. I will die here."
Eh!
How serious!
Cai 'er's heart was still soft in the end!
In the end, she clenched her teeth and agreed. "Okay, this servant will take you there. But Young Miss, you should quickly put on your clothes. This servant will go call for a sedan chair."
