Chapter 166: I came to see the funny chapter
Just as Qing'er was about to respond, Gu Yunling said, "Don't see me off. I'm already familiar with the Princess's Mansion, and I've become even more familiar with it these past few days. You can stay and take care of your wife. If you need anything, come to the Duke's Mansion to find me."
"Thank you, Princess." Qing'er quickly bowed to Gu Yunling in gratitude.
Jiang Xiyu was sick these few days, thanks to Gu Yunling who ran around and called so many imperial doctors to treat her.
Otherwise, if Jiang Xiyu fell ill and the people in Yonglin Marquis' Mansion ignored her, she wouldn't know what to do.
Gu Yunling left the Princess's Mansion, but found the gate of Prince Qin's Mansion closed.
She had originally wanted to go see Gulin. Jiang Xiyu was feeling well today, so she wanted to tell him so he wouldn't worry. Seeing that his door was closed, she didn't bother knocking.
She would wait until Jiang Xiyu was completely well before telling him, so that he wouldn't get excited and run to see Jiang Xiyu again, which would make Jiang Xiyu's illness worse, which was not what she wanted to see.
After Gu Yunling left, Jiang Xiyu wanted to check the account books or write some medicinal recipes, but Qing'er, Yu Mama, and Wei Mama all sternly stopped her and told her to rest. She had no choice but to lie down and rest.
Jiang Xiyu ate the ginseng chicken soup cooked by Yu Mama and drank a bowl. Just as she was about to go to sleep, she heard a familiar voice coming from outside, "Is the Madam here?"
As soon as Qing'er heard Liu Ye's voice, her face darkened.
Jiang Xiyu put down the soup bowl and winked at Qing'er.
Qing'er immediately went to open the door.
Besides Liu Ye, there was also Lin Rouyu supporting the leaves outside.
The three of them wanted to go into the house directly, but were stopped by Qing'er with a cold face.
"I wonder what Miss Lin wants to see our wife for?"
Lin Rouyu's face froze and she stopped.
Seeing Qing'er's harsh words, Shuye was immediately furious and wanted to argue with her, but was stopped by Lin Rouyu, "I heard that my sister was sick, so I came to see her."
Qing'er scanned Lin Rouyu from head to toe and said in a cold voice, "My wife is ill, but she's not as seriously ill as Miss Lin. Miss Lin should go back and rest. Don't pass your illness on to my wife. My wife's illness is getting better."
I have to say that Qing'er is really good at arguing with people. She made Lin Rouyu so angry that her face turned green.
Jiang Xiyu was also amused by Qing'er and almost laughed out loud. She directly scolded her in the room, "Qing'er, don't be rude."
Hearing Jiang Xiyu's voice, Lin Rouyu immediately said outside, "I heard that my sister was sick, so I came to visit her."
Jiang Xiyu really admired Lin Rouyu's shamelessness. They had quarreled so much before, but now she could still act as if nothing had happened and called her "sister" all the time. She was deliberately trying to annoy her.
"Ahem..." Jiang Xiyu coughed twice deliberately before speaking, "I'm ill. Miss Lin is weak, so please don't bother visiting her. It would be a shame if I pass my illness on to her. If she gets sick again, it would be a sin."
Although it was also a rejection, Jiang Xiyu felt a lot more comfortable hearing what he said.
Jiang Xiyu refused to let her in, but Lin Rouyu didn't try to force her way in. She just stood outside the door and continued to ask with concern, "I heard that a thief broke into your room last night. Are you okay?"
Lin Rouyu's words made Qing'er, Wei Mama, Yu Mama and others look gloomy.
What does this woman mean?
Are you here to laugh at me, or to threaten my wife?
Jiang Xiyu understood very well that Lin Rouyu was up to no good again, and said with narrowed eyes coldly.
"I don't know where Miss Lin heard these rumors. This is the Princess's residence, and there are so many guards. How could a thief dare to break into the Princess's residence? Moreover, before the Marquis left the capital, he sent many secret guards to guard my Jingyu Garden for my safety. How could a thief easily enter my room? Miss Lin, you are worrying too much."
As soon as Jiang Xiyu said this, Lin Rouyu's face instantly showed jealousy.
Before Xu Rui left Beijing, he also sent secret guards to protect Jiang Xiyu?
Why didn't she see anyone being sent there? Xu Rui liked this woman so much. They hadn't consummated their marriage yet, so why was he so nice to her?
Thinking that she didn’t even receive such treatment, Lin Rouyu almost crumpled the handkerchief beside her.
Lin Rouyu was so angry that her heart ached and her face turned slightly pale. "I heard some noises in Jingyu Garden in the middle of the night last night and thought a thief had broken into my sister's room. It seems I was worrying too much."
Jiang Xiyu rolled her eyes speechlessly. This woman really spared no effort in throwing dirty water on her. "Miss Lin is still awake in the middle of the night. Could it be that she has visitors at night?"
Who doesn't know how to throw dirty water?
Jiang Xiyu's words almost made Lin Rouyu faint from anger.
She stumbled a bit, and Ye Zi supported her in time. Then she glared at Jiang Xiyu angrily and shouted, "Our girl came to care about you out of kindness, but you don't appreciate it. How presumptuous of you."
Jiang Xiyu narrowed her brows slightly, and her voice was like breaking ice, "Qing'er, slap me in the face."
"Yes, ma'am."
Qing'er has long wanted to teach Shuye a lesson.
Hearing Jiang Xiyu's voice, he lifted his sleeves at his wrists and walked towards the leaves step by step with a smile on his face.
Shu Ye then realized what he had said and looked at Lin Rouyu for help, but Lin Rouyu just lowered her head and said nothing.
Nanny Wei and Nanny Yu each grabbed Ye Zi's arm, and Qing'er stepped forward and slapped Ye Zi's face hard.
Ye Zi's head was hit and tilted to one side. He felt a burning pain on his face. He turned around and glared at Qing'er angrily. Qing'er slapped him hard again.
The original face suddenly swelled up, and the leaf struggled and screamed in anger, "Bitch, you dare to hit me."
But his hands were held tightly by Nanny Yu and Nanny Wei, and he couldn't struggle free at all.
"How dare you be so presumptuous in our lady's courtyard? Don't you know where we are? If you dare to be presumptuous again next time, it won't just be a slap in the face."
After Qing'er finished speaking, she looked at Lin Rouyu seemingly unintentionally.
Lin Rouyu lowered her head and felt like a slap in the face, her face was hot and painful.
She looked up and glared at Qing'er fiercely, but Qing'er was not afraid of her at all and glared back at her.
Jiang Xiyu's voice came again, "Miss Lin, this girl of yours has been ignorant of the rules more than once or twice. In the past, I was tolerant of her because you were the Marquis's savior, but she seems to think of herself as the mistress of this mansion. A maid's ambition is even higher than mine, the Marquis's wife. Since Miss Lin can't discipline her own maid, I have no choice but to do it for her."
Lin Rouyu glared directly at the leaves.
Lin Rouyu's resentful look made the leaves drop their eyes in fear.
Before, she was just relying on the Lin family's kindness to Xu Rui, and knew that Xu Rui would treat Lin Rouyu with courtesy, so she took the chicken feather as a token of authority and dared to be arrogant in front of Jiang Xiyu and her maid.
But she never put herself in a higher position than Lin Rouyu.
