Chapter 274: Chapter 106: Desolate
Yueyao had fallen asleep at Tingzheng’s bedside.
Nanny Deng didn’t wake Yueyao but took a blanket and covered her with it, sitting in the chair, watching over Yueyao and Tingzheng. Nanny Deng was very saddened to see Yueyao frowning even in her sleep, the young lady had not only to take care of herself but also to look after the young master, which was truly exhausting. If the Old Master and Madam were still here, who knows how heartbroken they would be.
As dawn was breaking, Tingzheng awoke and the first thing he saw upon opening his eyes was Yueyao sleeping beside him. Tingzheng, puzzled, said, “Sister.” Why was his sister by his bed? He must be seeing things!
Tingzheng’s call startled Yueyao awake, and seeing Tingzheng awake and looking at her, Yueyao hugged him tightly, tears welling up in her eyes. Her brother was alive, nothing bad had happened to him, it was so good, truly very good.
Wiping away a tear, Nanny Deng gently said, “Young lady, the Fourth Young Master must be hungry, it’s time for breakfast.” Not just the Fourth Young Master, the young lady needed to eat too!
Hurriedly, Yueyao said, “Tell sister what you’d like to eat, and I’ll have them prepare it?”
After thinking for a moment, Tingzheng said, “Milk and egg custard.”
Yueyao, smiling, instructed Mu Qiu to tell the people in the main kitchen to prepare it, “If the people in the main kitchen won’t do it, then go back to Lanxi Courtyard and have the Kitchen Maid prepare it.”
The people in the main kitchen didn’t refuse to make it, but they were very slow. Tingzheng had already finished eating the milk and egg custard sent from Lanxi Courtyard by the time the one from the main kitchen arrived.
Yueyao directly told the Kitchen Maid who brought the milk and egg custard, “Which main chef made this? Tell her she worked too hard, this custard is awarded to her to eat.” After saying that, she turned around and went back inside, finding it unworthy to argue with such people.
Yueyao stayed with Tingzheng until Doctor Tang came to give Tingzheng a follow-up examination. Touching his beard, Doctor Tang said, “Young lady, don’t worry, the Fourth Young Master just needs to rest for two more days and he will be well.”
Yueyao wanted Tingzheng to recuperate at Lanxi Courtyard, but Nanny Deng refused, saying, “Young lady, rest assured, I will take good care of the young master.” It wasn’t that Nanny Deng didn’t want to accompany Tingzheng back to Lanxi Courtyard for recovery; it was that the Fourth Young Master had already moved out of Lanxi Courtyard and there was no reason for him to return just because he was sick.
Yueyao didn’t insist, she believed the incident with Tingzheng was an accident, and Lady Mo had only used a little trick, not going so far as to harm Tingzheng. Because, even if something happened to Tingzheng and she was fine, Lady Mo wouldn’t benefit at all.
Like a little adult, Tingzheng took Yueyao’s hand and said, “Sister, you should rest too! Sister, you’ve lost a lot of weight recently, you can’t get sick like me.”
Yueyao, touching Tingzheng’s forehead, smiled and said, “Okay, sister will listen to you and go rest right now.” Then she asked Tingzheng what he wanted for lunch, planning to arrange for the Kitchen Maid to make it and bring it over.
By the time Yueyao was heading back, it was almost noon.
The sun was high in the sky, there were no clouds and not even a breeze, and the nearby flowers, plants, and trees looked listless, even the cicadas seemed too hot to chirp.
After walking for a while, Yueyao was tired, even though Qiao Lan was holding an umbrella over her, she was sweating profusely. Yueyao saw a shaded turn ahead and pointed, “Let’s rest over there!” Lanxi Courtyard was indeed a bit far from the front courtyard, she wondered why the Great Grandfather had built it so secluded.
With a troubled expression recalling yesterday’s events, Yueyao sat on a stone lost in thought. The Maid nearby didn’t dare disturb her and all was very quiet.
Suddenly, there were footsteps approaching from a distance, growing closer, accompanied by voices. Listening to the conversation, it was two maids, talking as they walked. One maid said, “Did you know? Previously, the mansion was abuzz with rumors that the Third Young Lady was a jinx, having doomed the Second Old Master and Second Madam. Now it seems the rumors weren’t unfounded, the Third Young Lady almost doomed the Fourth Young Master too. Everyone in the mansion is saying that whoever associates with the Third Young Lady will be cursed!”
Before Nanny Hao could scold them, Yueyao collapsed to the ground. Nanny Hao froze for three seconds before crying out hysterically; Qiao Lan and Hua Lei were shocked into a daze.
The two maids were so frightened they turned pale and their legs went weak. But by then, no one had the capacity to deal with these two instigators.
Nanny Hao immediately carried Yueyao back to Lanxi Courtyard, while Hua Lei hurried to inform Lady Mo that they needed a doctor, simultaneously sending someone to fetch Doctor Tang.
Upon hearing that Yueyao had fainted upon hearing the rumors, Lady Mo’s lips curled into a cold sneer, “With such little savvy, you dare to play tough with me? You’re still too naïve.”
Upon hearing the news, Peng Chun wore a complicated expression, but quickly left Lian Mansion. He went to a low-lying, uneven alley and handed a bag to someone, saying, “Make it clean, leave no trace.” He wasn’t sure if the Third Young Lady had truly fainted or was pretending, but the timing couldn’t be better.
