But as soon as the two of them walked around the winding corridor, before they could leave the area of Jin Yu Courtyard, they saw a little servant girl hurriedly running towards them. As soon as she saw Jin Zhen, she let out a long sigh and said, "Fortunately, we made it in time." Then she looked at Sun mama and pulled Jin Zhen to the side.
If Sun mama had been present when the bowl of medicine was delivered to the Willow courtyard, she would have recognized it at this moment. This was the servant who served the guest physician in the guest courtyard. It was also her who personally brought the strong aphrodisiac to the Willow courtyard.
Of course, Jin Zhen was no stranger to this servant. Seeing her in such a hurry, her heart skipped a beat: "What happened?"
The servant leaned to the side and blocked Sun mama's line of sight. Then she took out something from her bosom and handed it to Jin Zhen: "Just now, someone placed this thing in front of Doctor Xu's door. Doctor Xu told me to bring it to Miss and ask Miss to help identify it.
Jin Zhen took it in her hand. Although the thing was wrapped in white cotton, her heart couldn't help but beat faster. She was afraid something bad was about to happen.
She quickly opened the cloth and looked inside. Her head exploded with a "weng" sound — it was her shoe.
Only one!
"Who sent it?" When she asked this question, her voice trembled. Her originally rosy face instantly turned pale. Her hands holding the shoe were tightly clasped together, her knuckles turning white.
"I don't know." The servant shook her head, "It was placed in front of Doctor Xu's door, but we asked all the servants. No one saw a stranger come in."
Jin Zhen took two deep breaths and stuffed the shoe into her sleeve. She patted the servant, "Quickly go back and tell Doctor Xu that I know. Tell him not to worry." Then she turned around and took the initiative to pull Sun mama. Her words were hurried, but her attitude was much better: "Sun mama, let's go quickly. Don't let Second Miss wait."
Sun mama didn't know what was going on. She just saw the little girl who had come to talk run away like a wisp of smoke. Jin Zhen was practically running the entire way to Willow courtyard. There were several times when she wanted to slow down a bit. Her old bones couldn't handle running like this. But Jin Zhen was like a fire burning in the house, completely ignoring her.
When they finally arrived at the Willow courtyard, Granny Sun leaned against the door and panted heavily! Na Jin Zhen lifted her skirt and rushed inside. She didn't stop until she reached Feng Yu Heng's room. She anxiously shouted: "Second young miss! This servant Jin Zhen requests an audience with Second Miss! "
There was no movement inside for a long time.
Jin Zhen knocked on the door a few more times. Seeing that there was still no response, she quickly turned around and ran into the other room.
That room was where Feng Zirui lived. When Jin Zhen went in, she saw an empty bowl on the table. There was still some medicine left in the bowl.
She was stunned. She stared at the bowl, then at Feng Zirui who was lying on the bed. She felt her legs and stomach cramping.
"Yo!" Huang Quan, who was by Zirui's side, turned his head and looked at Jin Zhen playfully. "Isn't this Miss Jin Zhen, who serves Eldest Madam? Why are you standing there?"
Jin Zhen felt as if her heart was about to jump into her throat. In a sharp voice, she asked: "Where is the second young miss?"
"Miss is tired from taking care of the young master. She is resting in her room."
"I'll go find her." Jin Zhen didn't have time to talk to Huang Quan. She turned around and returned to Feng Yu Heng's room. Thinking about it, she simply knelt down. She knocked on the door and anxiously said: "Second young miss, please see Jin Zhen. Second young master sent the wrong bowl of medicine. It really was sent by mistake! "
The door opened with a "squeak". Feng Yu Heng, who was behind Wang Chuan, walked over and stood in front of Jin Zhen. She frowned and asked in confusion: "Yi? The medicine was personally made by Doctor Xu. How could it be wrong? Besides, if it was sent by mistake, it should be the servant who sent the medicine from the guest courtyard. What is Miss Jin Zhen doing? Quickly get up. The floor is cold. "
She reached out her hand to help Jin Zhen up. Jin Zhen was stunned.
That's right! She was too anxious. As soon as she saw that pair of shoes, she thought that the matter of that night must have been exposed. Especially since the shoes appeared in front of Doctor Xu's room at this critical moment. It must have been exposed by this Second Miss.
Ever since she lost the shoes that night, her heart had never felt at ease. She always thought about when and where the shoes would appear in whose hands. Now that she finally had an idea, it was the result she didn't want to see the most. Not to mention … … the other party only gave her one shoe.
But how should she answer now? The medicine wasn't sent by her, but she was in a hurry to admit the crime. Jin Zhen knelt in front of Feng Yu Heng. For a moment, she was dumbfounded.
Feng Yu Heng curled her lips into a sneer. This was what it meant to be thrown into chaos. She had tricked Jin Zhen into becoming flustered.
If the shoes were sent to Doctor Xu's room, Doctor Xu would have a guilty conscience. He would definitely think of today's matter. Even if Concubine Mother Han didn't say it on the note, she understood that it was impossible for the Shen Clan to speak directly to this doctor. Then Jin Zhen was the perfect bridge. Doctor Xu's shoes would inevitably fall into Jin Zhen's hands. Jin Zhen was afraid that the matter between her and Li Zhu would be exposed, so she had to retrieve the bowl of medicine in front of her to ask for forgiveness.
"Doctor Xu's servant was too careless." Feng Yu Heng helped her smooth things over, "But since mother told Miss Jin Zhen to keep an eye on the prescription, then naturally she wanted Miss Jin Zhen to pay more attention to the Second Young Master's illness. Even sending the wrong medicine, Miss Jin Zhen really didn't do a good job. "
Jin Zhen lowered her head and admitted her guilt in a trembling voice: "It was this servant's negligence. I didn't go to the guest courtyard to watch. I don't know … … Did the Second Young Master take the medicine? "
She raised her head and looked expectantly at Feng Yu Heng. She hoped that the empty bowl in the room next door wasn't the medicine that had been drunk!
"He didn't drink it." Feng Yu Heng really gave her hope. Seeing Jin Zhen let out a sigh of relief, she followed up with another sentence: "The medicine is still there. Miss Jin Zhen should quickly send it to father."
"Ah?" Jin Zhen was stunned again, "Send, send it to who?"
Feng Yu Heng pretended to be surprised, "Of course it's for my father!" Then her face turned red, "I also understand medicine. This medicine must have been brewed by mother for Doctor Xu to give to father. Miss, quickly send it over."
"No, no, no, it's not." Jin Zhen shook her head, "It's not for master."
Feng Yu Heng was even more surprised: "How is that possible? You servant girl, don't speak nonsense. If this medicine isn't for father, then who else in the manor can drink it? "
Jin Zhen felt her legs tremble as she knelt on the ground. She felt that no matter how she answered, it was a trap. After thinking for a while, she gritted her teeth: "It must have been brewed by that doctor himself."
Feng Yu Heng raised an eyebrow and pulled Wang Chuan outside: "Then I want to ask doctor Xu why he brewed this medicine in the manor. What does he want to do?"
"You can't ask! Second young miss, please wait! " Jin Zhen turned around and crawled two steps. She grabbed Feng Yu Heng's skirt, "Second young miss, please wait!" She couldn't let Feng Yu Heng ask. Once she did, doctor Xu would definitely give her up. Although this matter was ordered by the head madam, she had always been the one to pass on the message to doctor Xu. The head madam definitely wouldn't come forward to confess. Even if she did, she was the head wife. What could the Feng family do to her? In the end, she would still vent her anger on herself. Jin Zhen thought for a while. Her eyes spun a few times before she finally opened her mouth: "This servant will send it! This medicine is indeed for master. It was mistakenly sent to second young master. Please forgive me, second young miss. This servant will bring the medicine to master to drink. "
Jin Zhen finished speaking and stood up. She wanted to take the medicine that was already in Wang Chuan's hands.
As long as the medicine was in her hands, she would just knock it over halfway.
Unfortunately, how could Wang Chuan do as she wished. Jin Zhen didn't even see when the person in front of her moved. Wang Chuan was already five steps away from her.
"Miss Jin Zhen, I'll go with you! You are the head madam's first rank maidservant. Willow courtyard is far away. It is better for me to carry the tray. "
Jin Zhen panicked: "No need, no need. I can carry it myself."
"Let Wang Chuan go with you." Feng Yu Heng spoke, "Father's medicine is very precious. I am also worried." After she finished speaking, she didn't even look at Jin Zhen. She flicked her sleeve and turned around to return to her room.
Jin Zhen heard the door close with a "peng" and her heart almost jumped out of her chest.
"Miss Jin Zhen, please." Wang Chuan glanced at Jin Zhen then walked forward. Jin Zhen was helpless and could only obediently follow.
Along the way, Jin Zhen didn't know how many times she wanted to knock over the bowl of medicine. Unfortunately, it was as though Wang Chuan's feet had been smeared with oil. There were many times when she felt that she had already touched the hem of Wang Chuan's clothes, but in a moment of distraction, he was already a few steps ahead.
Feng Jin Yuan had just returned to the manor at this time and was in Pine courtyard. This was something that Wang Chuan had heard from the servants along the way. At the same time, he had asked for directions to Pine courtyard and successfully prevented Jin Zhen from taking him astray.
When they arrived at Pine courtyard, Jin Zhen nearly collapsed. She stood at the entrance, unwilling to enter no matter what was said.
Not long later, a male servant came out. Seeing Wang Chuan, he felt that he was unfamiliar, but seeing Jin Zhen, he immediately reacted: "Oh, isn't this Miss Jin Zhen? Could it be that the madam is looking for the master? "
Wang Chuan took the initiative to speak up and replied for Jin Zhen: "The head madam stewed some tonic for the master. Miss Jin Zhen and I came to deliver it."
The male servant did not think much of it because the head madam and the concubine mothers had sent tonics to Pine courtyard more than once or twice a day.
He turned his body and gestured for them to enter Pine courtyard. He then led them to Feng Jin Yuan's study.
"Miss, please wait a moment. I will go in and report to the master."
The male servant entered the study and returned not long later. Once again, he gestured for Wang Chuan and Jin Zhen to enter. He then remained outside to guard the door.
Feng Jin Yuan had originally heard the male servant say that the head madam had sent someone to deliver tonics, so he was not surprised to see Jin Zhen. But when he saw Wang Chuan, his eyebrows furrowed.
He remembered very clearly that this was one of the two maidservants that the Imperial Palace Yu had sent to Feng Yu Heng yesterday. Why was someone from Willow courtyard walking with Jin Zhen?
Wang Chuan was born in the Imperial Palace Yu, so she naturally understood the rules and etiquette. Seeing the Feng manor's master for the first time, she knelt. No matter how much she criticized him in her heart, she still respectfully said: "This servant, Wang Chuan, greets the master."
Feng Jin Yuan nodded, "You are called Wang Chuan?" What a unique name.
"Replying to master, I am."
"Un." Feng Jin Yuan did not know how to speak with Wang Chuan. Just one Feng Yu Heng was enough to overwhelm him. Now, a maidservant from the Imperial Palace Yu had arrived. Who knew what this girl had been taught by the willful Ninth Prince.
Seeing that he did not have anything to say, Wang Chuan took the initiative to speak: "Master, this is the tonic that the head madam prepared for you."
Feng Jin Yuan felt that he finally had someone to talk about: "Why did you bring the tonic that the head madam prepared?" He then glanced at Jin Zhen, "What is going on here?"
Jin Zhen felt that her tongue had become stiff. She did not dare raise her head to look at Feng Jin Yuan.
