Chapter 259 Goodbye Ye Yunxing
Chapter 259
After Nanny Zhang wrapped up the thing and put it away, Luo Shuiyao sent her out.
Afterwards, Luo Shuiyao took out a headband from the cabinet. She had gotten this headband from the Marquis's wife, and she had asked Chuntao to make a new one and send it back.
When she was holding the headband in her hand, she smelled that there was something wrong with the smell. Now, after some days, the smell of the headband has become even lighter. However, if you put it to the tip of your nose and sniff it carefully, people who understand pharmacology can still smell some medicinal smell.
Thinking of this, and remembering the headband that the Marquis's wife was wearing today, Luo Shuiyao suddenly had a bold guess in her mind: Could it be that the Marquis's head disease was caused by this headband? But if that was the case, it didn't make sense at all.
Madam Hou once said that she developed these headaches after falling into water as a teenager, over 20 years ago. If Lu Zhaozhao had done this, it would be impossible, leaving only one possibility: Lu Zhaozhao's mother. The article also mentioned that Madam Hou had a close friend since childhood. Could she be involved in this incident?
But why did Lu Zhaozhao's mother want to harm the Marquis in this way? The two of them had a deep friendship since childhood, and there must be some unknown reason. The original text does not explain this at all, which makes it difficult to bear close consideration. The more I think about it, the more I feel that there is an unfathomable secret hidden here.
Moreover, the Marquis' wife had never been on guard against Lu Zhaozhao. As she grew older, although the disease caused by cold herbs was not fatal, it was enough to make her bedridden and extremely weak.
But how should he bring this matter to the Marquis' wife's attention? If he told her directly, how should he phrase it so that she would be alerted without getting herself involved?
Luo Shuiyao sat in front of the window, her brows furrowed, her chin supported by one hand, and her eyes wandering out the window. From this direction, she could just see the direction of the yard where Ye Yunzhou was.
"Ye Yunzhou?"
When she thought of this name, her eyes suddenly lit up and she stood up, thinking to herself: "Yes, it's not easy for me to do this myself, but if Ye Yunzhou does it, wouldn't that be the perfect choice?"
But then she felt discouraged again. She had no idea what Ye Yunzhou had done. If she sent the message to the Hidden Dragon Division, it would be fine if Ye Yunzhou received it successfully. But if he wasn't there and others saw it, it would probably cause some unnecessary trouble.
After thinking for a moment, she decided to hold it in for now and wait for two days. It wouldn't be too late to tell him when Ye Yunzhou came back. It would only be two or three days, so it didn't think it would have much of an impact.
After thinking this through, Luo Shuiyao looked up at the sky and realized it was already getting late. She quickly asked Aunt Zhang to bring some water, washed up, changed her clothes, and hurried to the dining hall.
When she arrived at the dining hall, she saw both the Marquis' wife and the Marquis present. Ye Yunxing stood to the Marquis' wife's left, while Lu Zhaozhao sat below him. Luo Shuiyao paused slightly when she entered, but soon, without hesitation, she stepped forward, bowed, and sat down next to Lu Zhaozhao.
Lu Zhaozhao was quite well-behaved today. If you looked closely, you could see a noticeable red mark on her face, though it was no longer as red and swollen as it had been yesterday. She was being particularly well-behaved today, sitting quietly and without making a sound, devoid of her usual liveliness.
On the contrary, Ye Yunxing, upon seeing Luo Shuiyao sitting down, immediately smiled and said to her enthusiastically: "Cousin Luo, please take a look and see if there is anything you like to eat. I will move some over for you."
Luo Shuiyao accepted Ye Yunxing's enthusiasm calmly. After all, she hadn't seen Ye Yunxing for a long time, so she whispered a few words to him.
Lu Zhaozhao sat between the two of them, raised his eyebrows slightly, but a hint of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes.
She really couldn't understand why one after another valued this village girl so much. She was obviously the one who had a close relationship with their mother, and she was obviously the only one qualified to be brothers and sisters with them. Why was it that as soon as Luo Shuiyao came, she could steal all the limelight that originally belonged to her?
Lu Zhaozhao thought resentfully in her heart, if only Luo Shuiyao were not there, if she had entered this marquisate alone, she would have become her aunt's favorite, and the most favored person in the eyes of the Ye brothers, and would not have been neglected like she is now.
Seeing Ye Yunxing and Luo Shuiyao chatting affectionately, Madam Hou was filled with joy and satisfaction. Suddenly, her eyes fell on Lu Zhaozhao, who was sitting alone, and she felt a surge of pity for her.
Although the child often made mistakes, she was still young. Since her mother was gone, it was up to her to teach her the things she did wrong.
So, she said softly, "You brothers and sisters haven't seen each other for quite some time. Let's get together today and have a good meal. Whatever you like, just call for the dishes. If there's nothing you particularly like, have the servants bring up some new dishes. You're all still young, and it's time for you to grow up. Don't try to follow those girls and boys from other families and try to lose weight. As a girl, it's better to have some flesh to look healthy and pleasing."
Luo Shuiyao, who was talking to Ye Yunxing with her head tilted to one side, sat up straight upon hearing this and nodded in agreement, "Aunt and Lord Marquis work so hard every day, you should use them more."
The Marquis's wife smiled and nodded, saying, "Hurry up and have your meal. You guys can go down and play by yourselves later. You don't have to accompany us two old guys."
The Loyal and Brave Marquis rarely spoke up and agreed, "Ah Xing has another day off tomorrow. You can have some fun in the mansion today. Tomorrow, go to the accounting office to withdraw some money. Ah Xing will take your two sisters out for a good stroll. I recently heard from my colleagues that there's a place called Qingyu Tower in the capital. It's full of strange and bizarre things. You should go and see it. Don't be trapped in the mansion all day. Young girls are so lifeless."
The Marquis's wife rarely heard her husband talk so much at once, and he was so considerate. She couldn't help but laugh and joke, "Your husband's colleagues are so idle that they even spread the news of a small shop opening in the market. They are just like us women."
She had been at odds with the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery for quite some time because of her concubine. Later, she went to apologize, buried her concubine with honor, and even set up a memorial tablet for her in the ancestral hall. Only then did the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery gradually reconcile with her.
Ever since they got married, they had always been loving and affectionate. In all the years since, the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery had never been so angry with her. Although they were now reconciled, she couldn't help but feel a chill in her heart whenever she recalled the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery's cold expression a few days ago.
