cpa300_4(); I looked at Li'er's clear, expectant eyes, smiled, and was about to speak when I heard the heavy breathing of the people around me.

Subconsciously looked back, only to see Pei Yuanxiu looking at me.

He had always been calm and calm, even at this time, but perhaps because we were standing so close together, the close distance made his breath blow directly into my face and ears, and I could immediately feel the hot temperature of the breath, as if it were a flame.

I fell silent.

I looked at him for a moment, but neither of them said anything, I turned my head to look at Li'er, still smiling and said, "Li'er will go play by herself, my mother won't go." ”

"I'm not going again. She pursed her lips slightly, "Really." ”

"My mother has a lot of things to do, and she doesn't have time to play. ”

"What's the stuff to do, can't you go and play all day?"

“……”

This girl probably just said it unintentionally, but when I listened, my face couldn't help but sink slightly.

Indeed, I really have nothing to do in that mansion, and I don't have anything to manage, after all, major matters are decided by Han Zitong and Pei Yuanxiu together, and Han Ruoshi has always been in charge of small matters in the mansion, if I really want to open my mouth to take care of things, I am afraid that Han Zitong can make me more embarrassed in front of those attendants and maids.

Thinking of this, a look of embarrassment flashed on my face.

Although it was only for a moment, Li'er seemed to catch it, she immediately seemed to feel something, bit her lower lip, looked at me a little timidly, and after being silent for a while, she asked softly: "Mother, are you really not going?"

I smiled: "Mother is not going." ”

Although this answer was gentle, anyone could feel that I said these three words without hesitation, this time, even Li'er didn't say anything more, just lowered his head in disappointment, Wu Yanqiu looked at me, after all, he only sighed softly, and then said: "Since this is the case, then the lower official will not force Mrs. The next official sent Miss Li across the river. ”

I nodded, and then bowed my head to Li'er and told her a few words, and after she listened to them one by one, she said to me seriously: "Mother, don't worry, I won't let him buy me something." ”

I smiled and gently stroked her head.

Wu Yanqiu said: "Two, farewell." ”

Pei Yuanxiu waved his hand at him.

I waved my hand too.

When the boat turned around and slowly sailed into the mist on the river, we turned around and walked back.

As soon as I turned around, I saw his gaze, looking at me almost intently.

Although he looked calm now and his eyes were calm, just now, when Li'er and Wu Yanqiu asked me if I wanted to cross the river, I clearly felt the anxiety and heaviness in his breathing, like a string that had been stretched too tightly and would be broken if I didn't pay attention.

I glanced at him, didn't say anything, just lowered my head and walked towards the carriage in front of me, he seemed to stop behind me, but quickly followed.

Sitting in the carriage, still as quiet as before, I sat by the window, lifted the corner of the curtain and looked out, but I could always feel the familiar gaze looking at me, and several times I even felt that his gaze almost turned into a real hand, about to touch my body.

But, from beginning to end, he didn't say a word.

Finally, when the almost unbearable journey came to an end, the carriage stopped at the gate, and he got out of it first, and then took me down.

I stood still, nodded to him, and then turned and walked in.

This time, I felt his gaze as well, and although I had been standing in the doorway, his gaze seemed to be wrapped around my body, and I could feel the heaviness he brought with every step.

My footsteps slowly stopped.

Then, I heard him call my name behind me: "Qingying ......"

“……”

"I have something I want to tell you. ”

I didn't look back, but after a moment of silence, I said, "If it's the same as last night's words, don't say it." I understand it all, but I don't want to hear it. ”

He stepped forward: "I—"

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly heard a chaotic and hurried footsteps in front of him, and when he looked up, he saw several attendants and maids, all holding some paper bags in their hands, and ran over in a hurry, and when he saw the two of us standing at the door, he hurriedly stopped, and immediately came over to salute.

"Childe, ma'am. ”

"What's so rushing?"

"Back to Gongzi, Miss Ruoshi's illness has worsened, and we are about to decoct her medicine. ”

"What?!"

His brows suddenly tightened, and he asked, "Where is Yao Lao?"

"Yao Lao has passed. ”

Hearing that Yao Lao had passed, his face softened a little, and then he remembered something and raised his head to look at me.

I looked back at him, too.

"You-"

“……”

For a moment, both of them seemed to be speechless.

When the attendants saw us like this, they did not dare to move, nor to speak. I didn't want to embarrass them like that, so I smiled and said, "Go and see." Originally, I should have gone to see it, but now there must be a lot of people over there, and if I go, it will cause trouble for everyone. ”

“……”

"If she's okay, someone will come and sue me. ”

When I finished saying these words, I obviously saw that the attendants and maids secretly glanced at me, and then lowered their heads and quietly looked at each other, as if they all had a little admiration.

I don't have to think about it to guess what they mean.

Pei Yuanxiu also looked at me, but obviously, my "reasonableness" did not make him feel as good or happy as others, on the contrary, his calm face showed a solemn expression more and more.

However, he didn't say anything after all, only nodded: "Okay." You go back and get some rest. ”

"Hmm. ”

I nodded, turned and walked away.

When I walked across the small bridge and returned to the inner courtyard, I could still hear the chaotic sound on the other side, and the whole house was noisy, but fortunately the inner courtyard was still in the same quiet as usual, and I went back to the house, leaned against the head of the bed for a while, and then went to the table and drank a cup of tea, and then went to the couch by the window, and picked up a book and read it.

In this way, most of the day passed.

In the afternoon a maid came and brought me some sweet and sour fruit snacks, which I had little appetite for, so I had to put them aside. After she was done, she came over again and respectfully told me that Miss Ruoshi's condition had eased a lot.

I smiled and nodded, "It's okay." ”

The maid stood in front of my couch and asked cautiously, "Then, does the lady have any other orders?"

I shook my head: "No, you go and do your job." ”

The maid looked at me again, with a hint of loss in her eyes, and then turned and walked towards the door, but only after a few steps, she suddenly stopped again and looked back at me.

I also sensed something strange and looked up at her.

The girl, as if gritting her teeth and making up her mind, walked up to me and whispered, "Madame." ”

This time, I didn't speak, just looked at her calmly.

The maid said quickly: "Childe has actually been dealing with official business in the study these days, and he also sleeps in the study at night, and does not go to Miss Ruoshi and Miss Zitong. ”

“……”

"Just now, the son went to see Miss Ruoshi, and when he came back, he asked the slaves and maids how much Madame had eaten at noon and whether her appetite was good, and asked the slaves and maids to send some appetizing and cool things to Madame to use. ”

“……”

"Madame, rest assured. ”

“……”

"Childe's heart is still on you. ”

She changed her caution just now, and finished these words like a cannonball, and the hesitant look on her face finally faded a little, and she looked at me with a hint of expectation.

I looked at her in silence for a moment, then burst out laughing.

It turns out that this is what it is.

Everyone in the house knows that there is a "cold war" between me and Pei Yuanxiu, and they all see what the Han sisters have done during this time, Pei Yuanxiu wants to marry Han Ruoshi, which has almost become an irreversible fact, and it is no wonder that the courtyard has become quieter and quieter in the past two days, and their side is becoming more and more lively.

However, this maid seems to think differently than ordinary people, when everyone went to burn the hot stove, she came to burn my cold stove, maybe because of Pei Yuanxiu's few words of inquiry, those few instructions, let her see some clues.

The main house is so reasonable, and the son still has feelings for me, and it seems that my status is still unshakeable for a while.

She decided to side with me.

I can't help but say that this little girl has some spirituality, maybe because in such a big mansion, this is a necessary survival skill, and only in this way can she survive.

I smiled at her and said, "You're very clever." ”

The maid laughed at once, lowered her head again, and whispered, "Madame has complimented her." ”

I smiled, got up lazily from the couch, went to the other side of the room, opened the cupboard and took out a silver ingot, and walked back, and as soon as she saw what I was holding, her eyes flashed brightly.

I handed it to her: "For you." ”

"Thank you, ma'am!"

She took it happily, her face flushed with excitement, and she was about to raise her head to say something to me, when I sat back on the couch and said calmly, "However, these things will not be used to sue me in the future." ”

"......" she was stupid all at once.

I said, "Go down." ”

“……”

She couldn't react a little, but when she saw me lying back on the couch with a look of fatigue, she finally couldn't say anything more, so she could only hesitantly retreat.

Another room was left quiet.

But this quietness gradually makes people feel irritable.

I sat up, looked left and right at the delicate, but somewhat empty room, and finally looked at the brocade boxes piled aside.

It was bought yesterday after Pei Yuanhao and Li'er traveled to Yangzhou together, but it was given to Li'er in the name of me and Pei Yuanxiu accepting it.

I thought about it, walked over and picked up the smallest one, and took it apart.
