C158 (1/2)
Gu Yun guarded the entire time, not moving an inch away from Xie Jingxi. Even when eating and drinking, he had to personally feed his, which made Xie Jingxi a little uncomfortable, and when he went in and out of the house, his face was full of caution. He did not dare speak out loud and did not dare make a sound, as if he was afraid that he would arouse the attention of the little doll in her young lady's stomach.
Only Imperial Physician Pei was busy brewing medicine and giving prescriptions, he did not understand, Grand Mistress's current condition was obviously not very good, why did everyone have an expression that was as though they were going to birth tomorrow?
He had never seen such a worried family.
It was probably Xie Jingxi who noticed Pei Zixi entering the room from time to time, her face blushing slightly, thinking that Gu Yun was not the same as the others, that was so embarrassing, thus Xie Jingxi gave a signal to Gu Yun, and shook his head towards the spoon he passed to him afterwards, then turned to Pei Zixi and said: Imperial Physician Pei, thank you for your hard work, could I trouble you to personally make the medicine for me, is there a problem?
It's a lot of questions, but no one cared too much about Pei Zixi. Only after hearing Xie Jingxi's question did they say, ”Grand Mistress must pay attention to him, this birth of yours isn't stable, don't think about it after you leave the house, let's not think about it too much, don't worry about it for now, take care of your work, and don't drink the Body Nourishing Medicinal Solution anytime soon, and don't eat the other medicines that you usually take. I will give you some prescription to recuperate your body as well as a taboo to eat and drink again. I'm afraid that your appetite won't be too good, don't eat too much.”
”Why are you still here?” Gu Yun suddenly looked at Pei Zixi, there was doubt and impatience in his eyes. After being silent for a long time, his wife did not even drink water.
Pei Zixi, ”...”
How dare the Imperial Physician Pei, which was welcomed wherever he went, be so annoying? He went in and out to serve your wife for half a day, but the old man didn't see it!
Pei Zixi took a deep breath, and didn't lower himself to his level. He thought to himself, There's a day when your Master Gu fell into my hands.
Xie Jingxi said awkwardly: I have remembered everything Imperial Physician Pei has said, everything depends on you.
Seeing that the only Grand Mistress in the courtyard that knew how to speak, Pei Zixi scrawled on and on about the taboos that didn't allow people to notice anything, and that by the time he left, the sky was already dark, so he took the chance and came out to see Xie Jingxi off.
”Are there no problems?”
Pei Zixi nodded reluctantly, ”I still have the same question, whether or not I can keep myself safe will depend on my luck, but I will do my best to recuperate for Grand Mistress.
Gu Yun: ”...”
This must be Pei Zixi taking revenge on him right? Don't tell me he still doesn't know about this, why did he say it out loud to anger him, and the key is what that expression of Pei Zixi's that you've been enduring for a whole year and a half means, gloating about his misfortune. No wonder he can't find a wife, this is too shameful!
Master Gu stopped in his tracks. He initially wanted to send him out of the courtyard, but he didn't want to take a step further. ”Zhao Zhang, send Imperial Physician Pei back to his residence.”
After Pei Zixi left, only then did Gu Yun remember to take care of his previous matters. He glanced at Fang Yu who was standing outside the door of the study, frowned, and walked towards her.
Fang Yu had been standing here the entire time, and when she saw Gu Yun coming over, she opened the door for him with his head lowered. After that, she kneeled down towards Gu Yun and said, ”Eldest Young Master, please punish me, I acted on my own accord and didn't take care of Madam properly, and made her suffer. I …”
”Have you thought about the consequences of sending Zheng Peiru to Hu Xueyong?”
Fang Yu's voice was frighteningly cold, like the Master Gu's warm words just now. Fang Yu couldn't help but shiver, ”Eldest Young Master, I didn't have any other way then, and after shaking off the person I was following, I didn't dare to return to the house, and I didn't dare to reveal myself in any other places either, so I thought about that small courtyard in a moment of desperation. I thought that Hu Xueyong was an outsider and I owed him, so I didn't reveal Zheng Peiru's identity.
”What's the use of me dealing with you!” Gu Yun suppressed his anger, ”Fang Yu, I say you are a smart person, but don't look down on your intelligence. That Hu Xueyong has already entered the Hanlin House and is on duty, yet you treat him as an outsider.
Fang Yu was indeed smart, but she was so smart that she looked down on others. She thought that she could take control of everything, and felt that the foolish Hu Xueyong was just a poor examinee who was attached to Gu Yun, who could make up some nonsense to fool him, what kind of fool was this, he was only a poor kid who had no money or power, but had actually reached this far, and was actually raised by Gu Yun? She didn't think about it, truly a useless trash, how could Gu Yun help him up till today?
”Eldest Young Master, it's my mistake. I won't act on my own from now on. I'll go and take care of the aftermath now.”
