The whole world is an NPC

Chapter 21 Aunt Hong is sick

Ye Xueying took a closer look and found that Granny Liu was smelling of alcohol, carrying a gourd in her hand and a bag in her arms.She smelled the aroma of braised pork.

"Tell me to watch the night and not give you a sip of wine. No? I'll take it myself." Granny Liu took a sip of wine and cursed a big manager in a low voice.After a few curse words, he started scolding Mrs. Ye again.

Ye Xueying was speechless. She understood a little bit why Granny Liu was a yellow dot.This old woman is full of resentment and has no good impression of Ye Mansion.She felt that everyone was bullying her, torturing her, and mistreating her.So Granny Liu would curse people behind their backs, and would go to the kitchen in the middle of the night to steal wine and meat.

Maybe the other four unknown yellow dots are all people like Granny Liu.Ye Xueying suddenly realized.

Watching Granny Liu walk away coldly, Ye Xueying slid down from the pillar.She quietly sneaked back into her room. By the light, she found that her clothes and hands were dirty, and even her face was stained with dust.

Ye Xueying hurriedly changed her clothes, fetched water and washed her hands and face.Dirty clothes, she threw them in the inventory.

The next morning, Hong Gu woke up. She felt weak and had a fever.She struggled to get her son dressed, and told him to call for someone.

Aunt Gu, the chief steward of the warehouse, heard that Hong Gu was ill and didn't want to come. Then she thought about it and found out that Hong Gu had met Madam two days ago and heard that Madam still had some old feelings for her.Aunt Gu got up and took a look. When she saw Hong Gu, she was surprised and said, "Oh, what's wrong with you? Are you seriously ill? What's wrong with you?"

Hong Gu smiled bitterly and said, "It's not a serious illness. I just caught a cold and had a fever. Aunt Gu, I'm going to ask for leave these days."

Aunt Gu smiled and nodded and said, "It's okay, just rest. I'll ask someone to cook a bowl of ginger soup. You'll sweat after drinking it. Fortunately, you'll be fine tomorrow."

"Thank you, ma'am!" Hong Gu let out a sigh of relief, and thanked her with a smile.

Aunt Gu is gone.Honggu became worried. In a few days, the master would be back.It was really unlucky that she suddenly fell ill at this juncture.

With this illness, my wife can't go to the hospital, nor can I go to the kitchen.How should she complete the task?
People in this era have a saying about disease qi. They believe that sick people have disease qi, and people who are exposed to the disease qi will also get sick.Sick servants are not allowed to approach the master, let alone the kitchen.

Honggu was half lying on the bed staring at the door in a daze, when suddenly a thought flashed through her mind.When the son went out, it seemed that the door was left open.The door bolt is a bit high, and my son used to have to move a small stool to reach it.Today he just opened the door and went out.

Honggu broke out in a cold sweat, struggled to lean out, reached out to touch the banknotes and medicine bottles under the bed board, and found nothing.Hong Gu felt as if she had stepped off a cliff, she was in a hurry.She couldn't believe it and touched it three or four times, and she didn't touch it even under the bed board.

When the morning breeze blew, Hong Gu felt chills all over her body, she shivered and shrank back into the quilt.She was stunned.

When Da Mao came back, Aunt Hong asked her son, holding out hope, "Did you take the things under the bed?"

Da Mao looked under the bed board curiously, and asked, "Mom, what are you hiding underneath? Delicious candy?"

Hong Gu's heart felt cold. She couldn't lie down anymore and wanted to discuss it with Aunt Tian.

She wanted Da Mao to find Nanny Tian, ​​but she was worried that Da Mao would be alone with Nanny Tian.After thinking about it, she asked Da Mao to find a little girl, who she entrusted to bring a message to Nanny Tian.

Nanny Tian came soon after, she was startled when she saw Hong Gu like this, she lowered her voice, and said in a dark voice, "Isn't it a coincidence that you are sick?"

Honggu smiled bitterly and said, "I'm really sick."

"I can see that you are sick. Don't you deliberately let yourself have a fever in order to avoid the task?" Tian Nanny said displeased.

Honggu smiled bitterly and said: "How is it possible? I didn't call you here because of illness."

"What's that?" Mother Tian asked puzzled.

Hong Gu hesitated for a while, then said, "The things you gave me disappeared after last night."

Grandma Tian was taken aback. She carefully looked at Hong Gu's expression, and saw that Hong Gu's panicked expression did not seem to be fake.She said coldly: "This is not a joke, you say it again!"

Honggu said nervously: "Who has time to joke with you? I'm so anxious. It's true. Before I went to bed last night, I put everything under the bed. This morning, I woke up and couldn't find it. Also, I slept with the door closed last night, and in the morning I found the door was open."

Nanny Tian widened her eyes and stood up suddenly.She ran to the door and looked carefully, and saw the small fresh marks of the knife point on the latch.Grandma Tian was so frightened that her whole body turned cold.

Seeing her strange expression, Hong Gu hurriedly asked, "What's wrong? What did you see?"

Aunt Tian lost her voice and said, "Someone pried open the door last night and entered your house."

As soon as the words came out of her mouth, Tian Nanny regretted it.The two women looked at each other with a feeling of impending doom.

Hong Gu asked fearfully, "What shall we do now?"

Grandma Tian now extremely regrets coming here.Honggu must have been caught by people from the Ye Mansion. She is so sick and weird. It must be the madam who is playing tricks to see who will come to see Honggu at this time.As long as you come to see Hong Gu at this time, you will most likely be an accomplice!I was not careful for a moment and fell into a trap!If you go out now, you might be arrested by Madam!
"I'll go find someone to discuss it!" Granny Tian said, running out in panic.

Nanny Tian hurried back to her room, only to find that no one had caught her.She was so lucky that before she had time to think about it, she took her money and gold and silver jewelry and fled abroad.

When Mother Tian walked to the door of the second gate, Mother Wen asked her suspiciously, "Where are you going?"

Aunt Tian pretended to be calm and said, "Honggu is sick. I'm going to buy some medicine on the street."

Mother Wen frowned. It was not a good thing for Honggu to be sick. She asked with concern: "Are you seriously ill?"

"It's terrible, the fever is scary." Grandma Tian said and ran out.

Mother Wen felt that Nanny Tian's expression was wrong, but she was not the only one around, so she didn't want to ask more questions.

Tian Nanny went out and ran away quickly.She took hundreds of taels of silver and ran all the way back to Los Angeles to join her real master.

Honggu was in the room and couldn't lie down any longer.She was reluctant to spend money on seeing a doctor or buying medicine, and wanted to get through it slowly on her own.At this time, she couldn't care anymore. She struggled out of bed, opened the box and asked for money to buy medicine.As a result, she was surprised to find that all the silver hidden at the bottom of the box was gone.She opened the drawer in panic and found that even the copper coins were missing.

alright!At this moment, Honggu herself could be sure that someone really came in last night.He took away her banknotes and poison, and also took away her personal money.
