After celebrating the entry tea, maybe Lin Shuyao was really uncomfortable, her lips turned pale, and her legs were shaking when she sat on the chair, so she stopped Xia Mingwei and asked her to stay in her yard first.

Xia Mingwei returned to the wing room of her side courtyard. As soon as she entered the house, a woman's anxious voice popped up behind her: "Mingwei, why did you go back to the house? I've been waiting for a while, and I've been hiding from the bed for an hour and almost discovered."

Xia Mingwei was shocked when she heard this.

After turning around, I saw the person in the room clearly before breathing a sigh of relief: "Qinniang, why are you here?"

Qin Niang is a widow. After hearing that the man at home left, she was kicked out of the house by her mother-in-law because she had no children. Later, she had no place to go, so she simply went to Xia Mingwei's house to build a thatched house and settled in.

Apart from loving money like life, Xia Mingwei has no bad impression of this neighboring aunt.

"Your grandmother is not very good. You can find some time to go back and have a look. Now it's the aunt of the Gu family. If you go back, your grandfather will be more concerned."

When Xia Mingwei heard that her grandmother was in poor health, she grabbed Qin Niang's shoulder and hurriedly said, "What's wrong with her grandmother? Isn't it okay if she drinks medicine in the past?"

"It's okay, don't be too anxious. It's just that when I went to see her today, I saw that she was so weak that she kept calling you. You found a loophole and went back to see her. By the way, I'm here to say goodbye to you. I... I found a groom and wanted to move to Shili Lane. Fortunately, it's not far away, and I still have the chance to meet in the future, but I just want to tell you."

Although the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty were open-minded, they still valued the innocent wife.

For a well-known family, even if the concubine enters the door, there is almost never a precedent in Fengyang who marry a woman in a flower building as a wife.

Xia Mingwei looked at Qin Niang and said shyly, and then she knew that the person she met this time was definitely not bad.

Over the years, it has not been easy for Qin Niang. She is always afraid that she will die if she gets old alone in the future, so she tries her best to save money.

She even remembered that Qin Niang had pulled herself twice and said that if she was willing to give her a chance to die in the future, she would leave all the money she saved to herself.

"In this way, Mingwei wishes Qinniang, you and your new husband to grow old together."

Xia Mingwei was grateful for her being able to steal from Gu's house to tell her grandmother's condition. In this high-walled courtyard, hearing any little news about her grandmother was enough to make her cry.

***

Until Qin Niang left, Xia Mingwei's heart was still tightly held.

The concubine didn't even have the qualifications to return to the door. Her grandmother was the person she was closest to and the only person in the family who loved her the most. She was seriously ill and bedridden, but she was unable to serve her.

Xia Mingwei walked back and forth several times in the house. The backyard of Heliyuan was under Lin Shuyao's control. Not to mention leaving the mansion, he had to pass through Lin Shuyao's head when leaving Heliyuan.

It was impossible to go to Lin Shuyao to talk to him that he was going home to visit him. The young lady's attitude towards him made Xia Mingwei unable to understand.

Finally, after thinking about it, I could only put my hope of going home to visit my illness.

She took her into the door, hoping that she would snatch Gu Mingli's favor from Lin Shuyao. Before this goal was achieved, she thought that between herself and Lin Shuyao, she must be on her side.

Mrs. Gu couldn't stay in Heliyuan. Xia Mingwei was a concubine. According to the rules, she was not qualified to go to other hospitals.

The only way to think of was to let Cuiyun bring his words to the old lady, so that it would not be considered a violation of the rules.

About half an incense stick, Cuiyun is back.

"How is it, can the old lady agree?"

As soon as Cuiyun entered the yard, before she stepped into the door, Mingwei went up to meet her.

Cuiyun shook her head.

The result is as expected. Who would agree to go back to visit the hospital with a concubine who had just bought her one day in the mansion?

"But the old lady said that the aunt is the second young master. If the young master lets go, she will naturally not let the young lady or the people next to her stop the aunt from going back to visit the hospital."

Hearing this, Xia Mingwei slowly turned around and sat down. Cuiyun followed her and added a cup of hot tea to Mingwei.

Xia Mingwei raised her hand and brought the tea to her lips, and took a sip as if she was thinking.

She knew in her heart that Cuiyun was from Mrs. Gu's side, and that when she was offering tea today, she was also asked by the old lady to clean up her outfit.

Gu Mingli didn't enter his house last night, so naturally he knew about it.

It was harder for Xia Mingwei to let go of this man than climbing to the sky. She only saw this man vaguely once last night, but in that case,

If he doesn't come to his house, even if he does all his strength, he will probably be useless.

"Let your second young master let it go? I can't even go out of the gate of the Heliyuan and can't see him. How can I let it go?" Xia Mingwei smiled bitterly and said mockingly.

"The old lady said that Gu's mansion is really bigger. My aunt has just entered the mansion. It is not a big deal to get lost when she goes to the Heli Courtyard once. She also said... She also said that it is not important whether the concubine abides by the rules or not. As long as she does her job, it will not be considered in vain."

After the words came, Xia Mingwei didn't reply to her. She stared at the corner of the table, making people unable to see the joy.

Cuiyun hesitated for a moment and continued: "The old lady also said that the aunt was worried that her grandmother was a normal human nature, and it was a kind and filial act. The old lady always met less. As long as the young master agreed, she could go back in the future. If the mansion dared to talk, the lady would not spare her."

In the future, Gu Mingli agreed that he could go back as well?

Haha, this old lady Gu is really good at calculating, meaning that as long as she wants to go back to visit her grandmother in the future, she has to use her means to make Gu Mingli feel at ease and capture his thoughts.

If Gu Mingli's eyes were placed on him, over time, the status of the Hualou lady in the main house would naturally be lost, and Mrs. Gu would also change to a satisfactory daughter-in-law.

The way I am holding myself is just a ladder.

But the sentence that the words "least meeting" really hurt her heart.

Silent... The room was as quiet as if a thin needle fell to the ground, and the sound could be clearly heard.

After a long time, Xia Mingwei took a deep breath before she made a decision, and spoke word by word: "Go and ask me about the second young master's itinerary tomorrow."

"The second young master will be in Xiehuyuan all day tomorrow."

"Xiehuyuan is not the eldest son's yard?" Xia Mingwei frowned and asked.

Although she had just entered the mansion yesterday and Mr. Gu had just returned to his mansion yesterday, Xia Mingwei had heard the little maids mention more than once about his residence in just this day.

These girls were trying to go into the yard to serve, but Xiehu Courtyard did not accept a single maid, and there was only one guard, and it was a confidant brought back from the capital.

"The eldest son is not in the yard tomorrow. He wants to check Fengyang's official account, so he sent the second son to go to the yard to reconcile the book tomorrow, and the yard is clean."

Xia Mingwei hesitated: "After all, it's the eldest son's yard. I'm afraid it's not good for me to go there, otherwise we'll..."

Before she could finish her words, Cuiyun interrupted her: "There are no one else except the eldest son in Xiehu Courtyard, and the wife has checked it. The eldest son will go to the prefectural courtyard to check the accounts tomorrow, and the courtyard will be even more empty. The second young master is the only one. It would be more appropriate for the aunt to go there, otherwise I would have to be taken first by someone at night, and I would have to be in vain."

Upon hearing this, Xia Mingwei sighed helplessly, as if she had compromised: "Okay, I understand."

After saying that, he got up and walked to the bed, and used scissors to cut two crescent bends on both sides of the waist of the skirt with scissors.

He turned to Cuiyun and said, "Find a piece of purple yarn and fill it with two holes. Remember, the fabric of the yarn should not be too transparent or too thick."

Since you want to do it, you must be foolproof.

In order to go back to see her grandmother, tomorrow, even if she uses all her strength, she will take Gu Mingli down.

***

The second day.

Xia Mingwei got up early, sat in front of the bronze mirror and tied up a black hairpin with a white jade peach blossom hairpin. Then, according to Cuiyun's technique yesterday, she left a small strand of hair on her forehead until her cheeks were not folded.

Finally, I changed into a modified wide-sleeved radish skirt.

Cuiyun looked around, but was stunned.

The woman in front of her has skin as snow as snow, and her neck is delicate and concave and convex and concave bones that make people unable to take their eyes off.

A strand of black hair left on her cheeks made her look even more charming.

It was not until the two of them left the door that Xia Mingwei walked in front that Cuiyun understood why she had cut off both sides of her skirt yesterday and had to make up with yarn by herself.

After all, the fiber yarn is gauze material and cannot be covered tightly no matter how hard it is.

The woman's purple skirt and outstanding appearance are extremely gorgeous. The two crescent vacancies on both sides of her waist are even more colorful. When she walks, her waist is faintly visible, and even when she looks from behind, she looks charming.

With Cuiyun on the side, Xia Mingwei arrived at Xiehuyuan smoothly.

Upon admission, Xia Mingwei discovered that the Xiehu Courtyard is equivalent to Gu Mingli's Mingli Courtyard.

There are several large jars in the front yard, full of lotus flowers. It is now in the flowering period, so when you enter the hospital, you feel that the whole yard is full of vitality.

Xia Mingwei also discovered that Xiehuyuan was as Cui Yun said that there was no servant.

Walking through the front yard, the atrium is a lake, and the lake is full of lotus flowers.

Xia Mingwei followed Cuiyun to a long corridor between the lotus pond, and a small pavilion was connected to the end of the corridor.

Gu Mingli sat in the pavilion.

When he was about to reach the pavilion, Cuiyun raised his chin and signaled Xia Mingwei to go over by himself, handed the eight-treasure food box in his hand to Xia Mingwei, and then stepped out.

The old lady had instructed her not to stay aside. This new aunt was an innocent girl. She was afraid that she would not be able to let go if she had someone else.

At that time, if you miss this opportunity, you will be afraid that the person in the main house will be vigilant to look at the young master tighter, and it will be difficult to get close to it in the future.

Xia Mingwei took the food box, took a deep breath, calmed down and squeezed out a bright and gentle smile before raising her foot to the pavilion.

When I approached, I found that in addition to Gu Mingli, there was another person in the pavilion. The man stood in front of Gu Mingli, wearing a blue long gown, an ink belt around the waist, and his figure was upright.

Xia Mingwei just came in the direction she just came and was blocked by the pillar.

Seeing Gu Mingli sitting next to the man with straight look, Xia Mingwei had a vague guess in her heart.

But now, the two people in the pavilion had found Xia Mingwei approaching. Even if she wanted to retreat, she couldn't retreat. So she gritted her teeth and tried to go out and continue walking into the pavilion.

"Mingwei, why are you here?" Gu Mingli stood up and looked at the approaching person.

Although the two of them had not officially met, he naturally knew this concubine.

Besides... the two met last night.

Gu Mingli said in a gentle tone, and as he stood up, he raised his hand to support Xia Mingwei, as if the two had already fallen in love with each other for many years.

"The weather is hot, I'll give you some sweet soup to Lilang to get rid of the heat."
