Xu Rongrong's body improved visibly.

In the past few days, Xu Chaoqian would come to Wutong Courtyard as soon as he was on duty and introduce the rules of the Chinese Valentine's Day Banquet to her.

Seeing his firm attitude, Xu Rongrong could not escape the feast.

So, she called Luo Shu to her side and handed her a list with the names of some herbs. In Luo Shu's puzzled eyes, he gave her detailed instructions for a long time.

Luo Shu wrote them down one by one, and finally frowned: "But this slave can't get out."

The eldest girl beside the female family members cannot leave the mansion at will. This is an unwritten rule.

Xu Rongrong reassured: "It doesn't matter, I have a way."

As soon as the two of them finished talking, the royal doctor came to check his pulse.

Due to Lu Shangshu's instructions, even though Xu Rongrong's health had improved, the royal doctor still came to the house twice a day to diagnose her pulse.

Today's pulse condition was much calmer, which made him quite satisfied, and he ordered: "You don't need to take the previous prescription anymore. I will make up another prescription and ask the medicine boy to deliver it later."

Xu Rongrong said warmly: "Why bother the palace doctor every time? Just leave the prescription and let Luo Shu go out to buy it."

This is a trivial matter, so the royal doctor naturally doesn't make excuses.

He finished writing the prescription, dried the ink, handed it to Luo Shu, and took the medicine boy away.

After receiving Xu Rongrong's instructions, Luo Shu followed out the door. When the concierge was about to stop her, she took out the prescription: "This is the prescription prescribed by the Master Shangshu's Mansion for the eldest lady. If you stop me, I will tell the master to go."

The concierge looked at each other and didn't dare to stop him.

Luo Shu was very busy this morning.In addition to taking the medicine according to the prescription, she also bought several more medicines from different pharmacies based on the list provided by Xu Rongrong.

The little girl was only thinking about getting things done as assigned by her own lady, and she didn't realize that there were a pair of eyes following her behind her.

After returning home, she handed Wen Yao the medicine prescribed by the palace doctor for ward rounds and suffering, and she quietly took the medicine Xu Rongrong ordered into the room.

"What did Miss buy these for?"

Xu Rongrong opened the paper package, smelled the sweetness of the medicinal materials, and said with a smile: "Just in case of emergency, you go outside and guard it for me."

After Luo Shu heard this, he carried a thread basket and went out.

In the house, Xu Rongrong ground medicinal materials into medicinal powder.

Under the porch, Luo Shu was embroidering a purse while guarding the yard for the young lady.

……

People in Wutong Courtyard were very busy, but in the Baicui Courtyard separated by a courtyard wall, the sound of broken porcelain could be heard.

This courtyard is more than three times larger than the Wutong courtyard, and the serving girls are also beautifully dressed, but at this moment their pretty faces are pale, and they dare not show off their dignity.

In the room, Xu Minmin, the third daughter of the Xu family, was losing her temper: "I'm afraid my father has lost his mind and gone crazy. Why should we hire a doctor for that person? I saw her walking steadily in the yard today. This is not a waste of our work." One game?"

The second young lady, Xu Yaoyao, comforted her: "You, when you persuaded your mother to poison her, I didn't agree with it."

"We're not here for you!"

"She is our eldest sister after all. If anything bad happens to her, my father will be heartbroken."

"What kind of sister is she? I only have you as my sister! Look at how soft and weak she is all day long. A daughter of a sixth-grade official, who can show her weakness?"

"Stop talking. If someone with intentions spreads this to my father, be careful he will punish you." Xu Yaoyao frowned. His father was the most honorable person. He stayed in the position of Sixth Rank Chao Yilang for six or seven years. This is usually the most annoying thing to talk about.

"I'm not afraid." Xu Minmin didn't care. "He doesn't even dare to show off his anger in front of his mother."

While the two sisters were talking, Mrs. Xu Liu walked in.

Seeing a layer of broken porcelain pieces on the ground, he frowned and said: "You need to change your temper. How old are you? You still break things easily! If you break this tea bowl, the whole tea set will be unusable. Your father only lasted a year." How much salary? Can you afford to waste it like this?"

Xu Minmin hugged Xu Liu's arm and said coquettishly: "Mom came just in time. I was angry. The man in Wutong Courtyard seems to have recovered. I'm afraid my sister won't be able to go to the Chinese Valentine's Day Banquet."

Xu Liushi patted her head: "Don't worry, what if she can go to the Chinese Valentine's Day banquet? Mother has already made arrangements and will never let her have an easy time."

Seeing her categorical statement, Xu Yaoyao, who was standing behind, felt slightly relieved.

My eldest sister is soft-tempered and dare not say a word in the Xu Mansion as her mother squeezes her into balls. But after all, she is born with a good appearance. If she really gets a good match at the Chinese Valentine's Day banquet, I'm afraid it will be difficult to handle.

I hope my mother's plan will succeed.

……

In the evening, heavy rain came suddenly.

Heavy rains in summer are often accompanied by lightning and thunder, and the sky is dim and bright, which makes Xu Rongrong feel very bad.

Luo Shu was shaking the rain off his umbrella in the corridor, his soaked hair sticking to his forehead, looking quite embarrassed.

She looked at Xu Rongrong who was in a daze and said, "Miss, please come in quickly."

Xu Rongrong did not answer. Through Luo Shu's face, she saw another face in her memory - Luo Shu's only brother, Luo Qiu.

Unlike Wen Yao, Luo Shu was not born into the Xu family, but was brought into the family when he was eight years old.

Back then, the Luo family suffered a catastrophe and had no choice but to sell their youngest daughter. When the skinny Luo Shu was brought in by Ya Po, Xu Rongrong caught his eye at a glance. The confused and uneasy look on the little Luo Shu looked very much like himself at that time.

But unlike himself, Luo Shushang has his elder brother Luo Qiu to rely on.

Luo Qiu couldn't worry about his sister, so he traveled north and south with the Xu family, making a living by doing odd jobs, and finally stayed in the capital with the Xu family.

After Luo Shu was sold to Jiangnan by the Xu Liu family in his previous life, Luo Qiu spent five years finding the whereabouts of his sister. When Xu Rongrong learned that Luo Shu had been bought by several farmers and worked day and night, he almost went crazy. .Luo Qiu also wanted to rescue his sister, but he was helpless against the powerful farmers. He was beaten all over and had to come back for help.

It was the same evening with heavy rain, lightning and thunder, and the seven-foot-old man, with wounds all over his body, fell dying in front of the Hou Mansion, begging her to rescue Luo Shu.

That night, she broke into Mu Rong's room despite the heavy rain, knelt down and begged, begging him to take action.

That was also a night she would never forget. She smelled the strong smell of alcohol on Mu Rong's body. She watched him coldly say "You go and do it" to Mu Yi, and then closed the door heavily.

Then, he staggered towards her without emotion.

Her wet dress fell into pieces in his hands.

Her fragile struggle became vulnerable to his demands.

There was a violent storm outside the door, and her voice was sobbing inside the door.

Half a month later, Mu Yi brought back two boxes of ashes from Jiangnan.One is from Wen Yao and the other is from Luo Shu.

After all, Luo Shu couldn't bear the hopeless life and didn't want to drag his brother down, so he eventually drowned himself in the river. And Wen Yao had died two years ago, from the brothel disease.

In her last life, she knew it was too late after all.

In this life, everything will change!
