After I traveled through the book, I fought back in the Hou Mansion

Chapter 121 Doubt

Chapter 121

The servants of Minghua Hall were restless again tonight. The Marquis' wife wept until she passed out. Doctor Hua was taken back before he even reached home. After a brief examination and prescription, the Marquis finally fell into a deep sleep.

Luo Shuiyao was completely unaware of this.

As for Luo Shuiyao, the master and his two servants left Qiuli Courtyard and wanted to return to Chunhua Courtyard, but they were stopped by Ye Yunzhou.

"Yaoyao." These two words rolled in Ye Yunzhou's throat several times, and finally he couldn't help but call out.

Luo Shuiyao had actually seen Ye Yunzhou standing under a tree not far away, but she pretended not to see him. Now that it was late at night, she wanted to go back to sleep and was too lazy to argue with him, but she didn't expect Ye Yunzhou to call her out.

She turned around and pretended to see him, "Brother, you haven't gone back to rest yet?"

After thinking for a while, he said, "Sister Zhao is fine, you don't have to worry."

Ye Yunzhou frowned when he heard her words. "Why should I worry about her?"

Then he asked, "Why do you call me big brother?"

Luo Shuiyao blinked and looked at him in confusion, "Can't I scream?"

In her heart, she lamented: "Here it comes, Ye Yunzhou is starting to get tired of her. Well! Now that Big Brother doesn't even allow me to call him that, it seems he will definitely dislike her even more in the future!"

Ye Yunzhou didn't know what she was thinking, but he saw that the look in her eyes looking at him was becoming more and more resentful. He pursed his lips and asked softly, "Didn't you always call me Brother Yuan Zheng before?"

A stone fell from Luo Shuiyao's heart: Okay, I was just confused about the change of address, and I thought he hated me so much that he didn't let me call him big brother.

She blinked, her expression innocent: "But you are my eldest brother."

Ye Yunzhou looked at her deeply, his eyes filled with a dark color that Luo Shuiyao couldn't understand, "Changed it."

"What?" Luo Shuiyao was puzzled.

"I told you to change it, call it the same as before."

Luo Shuiyao didn't understand but she didn't bother to ask; it was just a name. "Brother Yuan Zheng, it's late now. I'm going back to rest. We'll see you tomorrow." Without waiting for Ye Yunzhou's reply, she turned and returned to the courtyard.

Chun Xing and Aunt Zhang were left alone and looked at each other in confusion.

Chun Xing secretly glanced at the prince's stern face, then bowed gently and hurried to catch up with her young lady. She thought to herself, is this prince really as scary as Uncle Wang said?

Seeing the two little girls leaving, Nanny Zhang chuckled and shook her head, then apologized to Ye Yunzhou, "Don't blame me, my lord. The young lady hasn't had a good rest these past few days. She must be too tired, so she wants to go back and rest. I hope my lord won't blame her."

Ye Yunzhou watched Luo Shuiyao return to the house, then turned around and said, "Nothing, you should go back and rest too."

After saying that, he turned around and went back to his yard.

Luo Shuiyao returned to the house and found Chuntao Dujuan and the others still waiting for her. She waved her hand, signaling them to go down and rest. "It's late, go get some rest. There's nothing going on over there."

Zhuangzi nodded and turned to leave. He had been worried about the young lady being bullied by the neighbors, but now that nothing was wrong, he could finally put his mind at ease.

Du Juan wanted to help her change clothes, but Luo Shuiyao waved her hand and said, "Go back and rest, I can do it myself."

Du Juan already knew that her young lady did not like to be served closely, so she nodded obediently and then left.

Luo Shuiyao casually took off the hairpin on her head, and her long black hair was freed and instantly fell down. She placed the hairpin on the table, untied her outer garment, and was about to put it on the hanger when a pair of hands took it.

Luo Shuiyao turned around and saw Chuntao still there. She smiled slightly, not surprised at all, "Chuntao, why don't you go to bed?"

Chuntao took her coat and hung it up, then turned around and looked at her, her lips moving but unable to ask any questions for a long time.

Seeing this, Luo Shuiyao didn't press the issue. She sat down leisurely, poured herself a cup of tea, gently skimmed off the foam, and took a sip. She instantly felt much better. She looked at Chuntao and chuckled, "But I want to ask about the sudden emergency of Miss Lu next door?"

Chuntao nodded. She knew her mistress understood medicine. At 3 p.m. today, she had been asked to contact the maid of her cousin Lu next door. Unexpectedly, that evening, Miss Lu had suddenly fallen ill. She absolutely refused to believe that this matter had nothing to do with her mistress.

As a maid, she shouldn't have asked about her master's affairs, but she always felt that the lady seemed to be waiting for her to ask questions.

Luo Shuiyao took another sip of tea and motioned for her to sit down.

Chun Tao hesitated for a while, but finally followed her wishes and sat down beside the couch. However, she sat very reservedly, just leaning against the edge.

Luo Shuiyao pretended not to notice, only sighing softly. "That cousin Lu has been hostile to me ever since she arrived at the Marquis' Mansion. Now her tactics are even more ruthless. "Well, I'm not a piece of clay, so how can I not retaliate?"

Then she looked at Chuntao and asked, "Do you think I'm vicious?"

Chun Tao shook her head. "Of course not. Miss Lu has repeatedly harmed you. If it weren't for your cleverness, you would have been bullied to pieces. And Madam is protecting her. She can't let us suffer in vain, right?"

Luo Shuiyao nodded, very satisfied with her answer.

Chuntao was the most clever of the maids in her courtyard, and she was also extremely talented in arithmetic. What she was pursuing now required someone she could trust, and the errand was too important, so she had to test the waters.

Now she has finally gotten what she wanted. Chuntao knew that it was her who did it, but she didn't tell anyone. She was able to take the initiative to realize her intention and even came to ask about it. She can be said to be bold and careful.

Luo Shuiyao leaned forward and took her hand. "Chun Tao, I want to do something big. Would you like to join me?"

Chun Tao was attracted by her confident look and nodded involuntarily. "Miss, I am willing."

Luo Shuiyao smiled. She pulled Chuntao up, walked to the corner of the bed, picked up a book and handed it to her. "Try to put everything aside for the next few days and study it all the time. Study everything I've written down thoroughly. It will be very useful in the future."

Seeing her serious expression, Chun Tao took it carefully with both hands. She looked at Luo Shuiyao and nodded heavily. "Miss, don't worry, I will never let you down."

"Okay, I believe you."

Luo Shuiyao nodded with satisfaction, "Go down and have a rest, it won't be too late to start this matter tomorrow."

Chuntao bowed respectfully, then retreated, gently closing the door. Luo Shuiyao blew out the oil lamp, lay down on the bed, and soon fell asleep.

At Qiuliyuan, Lu Zhaozhao, with a swollen face, smiled as she watched the Marquis leave. After the Marquis's figure completely disappeared, her face instantly darkened.
