Chapter 38 Repaying the favor
"I must repay the favor of saving my life. I will personally go to the Xie family to thank them one day."
Madam Feng almost squeezed out these words from between her teeth, and each word was as heavy as a stone. After that, she waved her hand and chased Master Feng out with an irritable look on her face. She felt annoyed when she looked at him for a moment longer.
Master Feng didn't dare to say anything more and walked out with his head down.
Old Madam Feng was lost in thought for a while with a gloomy face, then she let out a long sigh and leaned back against the pillow.
"Why should the old lady get angry over such a small matter? The Xie family is just a small business, how can we afford you to come to our door in person? Just send a few servants to tell them, and at most you can prepare a generous thank you gift."
Chun Guijia stepped forward and knelt behind the old lady to massage her head, speaking softly to comfort her.
Chun Gui's family had been the old lady's maid since childhood and was married to Feng Ding as a dowry. The old lady originally wanted to give her to Old Master Feng as a concubine, but she would rather die than agree, saying that she only wanted to serve the old lady. After becoming a concubine and giving birth to a child, it was inevitable that she would have to divide her thoughts.
The old lady appreciated Chun Gui's kindness and did not force her to obey. But she was afraid of gossip, so she still arranged a husband's family for her.
Chungui's family was also a ruthless person. Although he married her, he secretly found a bowl of medicine to cut off her chance of having children. She usually did not go home, just like when she was a maid, she stayed by the old lady's side day and night. This guard lasted for fifty-five years.
The old lady trusts Chungui's family more than her own children. If others dare not say something, it doesn't matter if Chungui's family says it.
The old lady sighed again upon hearing this, and waved her hand with a tired look on her face, "Now even you have become confused. You only let the servants come to thank you for saving my life. If this gets out, will the Feng family still have the face to save?"
Chun Gui's family knew that the old lady cared most about her reputation, so they dared not say anything more after being scolded.
The old lady sat in silence for a while, then pushed Chun Guijia's hand away and said, "Go and ask someone to prepare some gifts. I will go to the Xie family in person tomorrow.
After the beginning of the dog days, the weather gets hotter day by day.
The Xie family's villa, located halfway up the Lianyun Mountain, was not troubled by the summer heat because of its open terrain.
He ate fruits picked from the foot of the mountain every morning, and drank clear spring water from the mountains. Xie Liuzheng lived in the villa for more than ten days and felt that his face had become rounder.
Xie Xiangyu seemed to be in a much better mood, but she was still worried about the Feng family. Taking advantage of the fact that only the mother and daughter were in the room, she pulled Xie Liuzheng to sit next to her and asked softly, "We have been out for more than half a month, and there has been no movement from the Feng family. Should we leak some information?"
"Mom, don't worry. I will make my own arrangements." Xie Liuzheng comforted Xie Xiangyu with a smile.
She reached out and scooped up a cantaloupe from the ice basin. Qiuyue was so scared that she quickly took out a handkerchief to help her wipe her hands. She complained in a low voice, "Young lady, just tell me what you want to eat. Don't dare to get it yourself. This ice water is very hot. Young lady's hands can't stand it."
Xie Liuzheng smiled and looked down at her as she wiped the water droplets from her hands bit by bit, but she was thinking in her heart, compared to trudging barefoot in the snow in her previous life, this little bit of cold was nothing.
As they were talking, sisters Xie Liuhui and Xie Liufang came in carrying a flower basket. They knelt down to greet Xie Xiangyu with a smile, and then greeted Xie Liuzheng.
Xie Xiangyu saw that the flower basket was at least one or two feet high and was filled with colorful flowers, which looked very fresh. She quickly waved to the two of them to come over.
"Although it is early in the morning and the sun has not yet risen, it is already very hot. You should not stay in your room. If you run out, be careful not to catch a heat stroke."
Xie Liufang was young and had gotten to know Xie Xiangyu well. He knew that Xie Xiangyu was cold on the outside but warm on the inside and loved the younger generation the most. He became much bolder and leaned against her to act like a spoiled child. "It was because the weather was so hot that we were worried that Aunt would get bored in the house, so we got up and went to the garden to pick young branches to make this flower basket. We also picked some fresh flowers to put in it so that Aunt could watch and relieve her boredom."
Xie Xiangyu was raised as a boy since she was a child. In addition to reading and writing, she also had to learn business matters. She had no brothers or sisters. Later, she got married, but she did not have any romantic feelings for Qin Guangjin and was still devoted to him.
She naturally loved Xie Liuzheng very much, but she rarely showed her feelings and was too close to her. In short, Xie Xiangyu had lived to be over 30 years old, and there was almost no chance for someone to please her so much. She was particularly moved by the attentiveness of the Xie Liuhui sisters.
She raised her hand and touched their red little faces, and said distressedly: "I appreciate your kindness, but you should never mistreat yourselves like this again. You and Liu Zheng are both my juniors, and I love you so much that I can't bear to let you suffer."
The two of them snuggled up to Xie Xiangyu, calling her "Auntie" and throwing out nice words as if they were free.
The servant came to report that Fang Cheng wanted to see Xie Liuzheng for something. Xie Liuzheng got up and went out to meet Fang Cheng in the flower hall.
After paying respects, Fang Cheng said, "Miss, the Feng family has received the news. I believe there will be an explanation soon. Should we go back to the mansion and wait?"
Xie Liuzheng smiled and waved his round fan. "No need. We are being bullied now. We can't stay in Yangzhou. We have to live in the countryside to avoid disaster. What's the matter with us suddenly returning to the mansion?"
Fang Cheng nodded and said "yes", then talked about the second thing.
"I asked someone to keep an eye on Qin Guangjin and Lu Zeming. The two haven't seen each other again. But... Qin Shou is a little strange."
Xie Liuzheng put down her fan and looked at Fang Cheng intently.
Fang Cheng said quickly, "Qin Shou has been locked in his room and has never walked outside. But he was injured to begin with, and he has no food or clothing during this period, let alone money to pay for medical treatment. Maybe his injury hasn't healed yet, so it's normal for him not to go out. I may be overthinking it."
Xie Liuzheng encouraged Fang Cheng calmly and sent him out. He sat on the chair and frowned.
No matter how seriously injured a normal person is, as long as he is still alive, it is impossible for him to be locked in a room for several months without even showing his face.
Could it be that Qin Shou’s injuries worsened or he was even dead?
Xie Liuzheng shook his head to deny his guess. Qin Guangjin treated Qin Shou as his sweetheart. Qin Shou's injuries worsened, and it was impossible for Qin Guangjin to remain indifferent.
Fang Cheng had just walked to the door when he was called back by a servant, who said Xie Liuzheng had something to tell him. He quickly turned around and returned to the flower hall.
"Send someone to find a way to get into Qin Shou's room and take a look. Be careful and don't reveal your identity." Xie Liuzheng felt inexplicably uneasy. After giving Fang Cheng the instructions in a deep voice, he was stunned for a while.
Fang Cheng waited for a moment, and seeing that she had no other instructions, he slowly retreated to the door. Unexpectedly, Xie Liuzheng suddenly spoke again as if she had been awakened, "Keep an eye on Qin Guangjin, and never let him out of our sight."
"Yes!" Fang Cheng didn't dare to guess Xie Liuzheng's thoughts and responded solemnly.
