Kick out the general as soon as you are reborn

Guiranju

Liu Yanyan sat upright on a round-backed chair, drinking tea leisurely, and looked at the guard Liu Da in front of her. "Tell me, where did Madam Zhao go today?"

The guard stuttered, "Madam Zhao, I went to the several dowry shops that the Duke's Mansion gave you and wanted to buy on credit, but the shopkeepers refused, saying that you had told me to pay for everything I bought. She started to curse at the door of the shop. After the people in the shop ignored her for a long time, she left, cursing, and went to a shabby shop to buy pens, ink, paper, and inkstone, and put them in the second young master's study."

Liu Yanyan nodded and glanced at Yuzhu. Yuzhu took out a purse from her arms and handed it to the guard Liu Da. Liu Da took it and kowtowed repeatedly.

Liu Yanyan raised her hand and said, "Get up, there's no need to do this. This is a reward for you." Why was she kowtowing so sincerely?

Liu Da said loudly, "Thank you, madam, for the reward." Then he turned and left, touching the purse in his arms, extremely excited. If he took this money home, his family would be able to survive the winter.

Liu Yanyan looked at Yuzhu and said, "Liu Da, what's wrong? Why are you so happy?"

Yuzhu bowed her head and reported, "This winter, it was particularly cold. Half of Liu's house collapsed. After it was repaired, he had no money left. Yesterday, I saw his mother coming over and she said that the family was having trouble making ends meet."

Liu Yanyan's eyes were unhappy. "Why didn't you report this? If his family can't make it, how can I bear it? This kind of thing should have been told long ago."

Yuzhu lowered her head and said, "Yesterday, Liu Da didn't let me report it. He said that the wages would be paid soon. I can get by, and I don't want to worry you."

Liu Yanyan looked at Yuzhu, a little disappointed, "This kind of thing must be reported immediately in the future. If something goes wrong, it will be too late to regret it. How about the other maids, old women, and guards at home."

Yuzhu nodded and replied, "Everyone else is doing fine, don't worry."

Liu Yanyan nodded and said, "It's good that nothing happened. Go get 10 taels of silver and give it to Liu Da."

Yuzhu nodded quickly and said, "Okay, ma'am. I'll go now." Then she turned around to get the silver and gave it to Liu Da.

Yuzhen was making the bed and serving Liu Yanyan.

Liu Yanyan casually asked, "Is Lin Rou's fever gone down now?"

Yuzhen was stunned. "Madam, I don't know much about my cousin's condition. The doctor has been there and the fever should be gone."

Liu Yanyan waved her hand and said, "Call a little maid to ask."

Yuzhen nodded, "I'll go right away."

Watching Yuzhen leave, Liu Yanyan's eyes were complicated. This little maid was loyal, but a little dull. She would need to be taught well.

A quarter of an hour later, Yuzhen hurried back and said, "Madam, my cousin's fever has not subsided yet and she has started talking nonsense. The old lady is guarding her in the yard."

Liu Yanyan did not show any expression on her face. "Don't answer based on guesswork in the future. This is not good and may cause mistakes. Put on your cloak for me and let's go see Lin Rou to see if she is dead or not.

With trembling hands, Yuzhen put on the cloak for the lady, took the hot water bottle, and then followed her to the cousin's yard.

Liu Yanyan walked into Lin Rou's yard and saw Xiaotao boiling water outside with a small stove. The maid was looking at this and that. Who was in there?

When she pushed open the door of Lin Rou's room, she saw the old lady sitting far away on a chair next to her, and Nanny Zhao was applying a towel to Lin Rou's forehead.

The old lady looked at Liu Yanyan with a gloomy face. "How dare you come here! You took Rou'er to Princess Huai'an's tea party and ignored her. She fell into the lake and lost her reputation. She also developed a high fever."

Liu Yanyan smiled bitterly, "Mother-in-law, you are wronging me. I asked her to follow me all the time, but she sneaked away after we sat down. When I was about to ask the maid to look for her, I found her surrounded by people, hanging wetly on Master Lin, holding on to Master Lin and refusing to let go, but she was kicked away. How can I protect her?"

The old lady's face turned pale with anger. "It's your fault. If you cared, how could she be like this? The general's mansion has lost all its face."

Liu Yanyan looked aggrieved and said, "Mother-in-law, you are wronging me. I am just her sister-in-law. Her legs are on her body. I can't tie her up. It's not me who asked her to go away. Besides, I have also invited a doctor from Renshan Hall to come for her! I didn't know she wanted to wash her hair with cold water! It's so cold today, she might..." After saying that, she nodded her head and didn't continue.

The old lady looked at the unconscious Lin Rou with a complicated expression, feeling helpless. Why did she wash her hair with cold water for no reason? Was she really frozen silly? Being silly was not okay.

At this time, Xiaotao brought a basin of warm water and wanted to take the cold water away.

The old lady suddenly asked, "Xiao Tao, why does Rouer wash her hair with cold water?"

Xiao Tao knelt down and cried, "Madam, I went to the kitchen to get water, but I only got a basin of hot water. After the young lady washed herself, there was no hot water left, so I had to wash my hair with cold water."

The old lady frowned and said, "How could there be no hot water in the kitchen? Isn't it always boiling water?"

"Madam, the kitchen staff said that they should focus on the old lady and the mistress, and the young lady's quota of hot water is only one basin."

The old lady sighed repeatedly and looked at Liu Yanyan with unfriendly eyes, but she didn't say much in the end.

When Liu Yanyan heard this, she didn't say anything. All the servants in this mansion were related to each other, and she didn't want to be the first to be blamed for Lin Rou. It didn't matter whether she lived or died.

The old lady became even more annoyed when she saw Liu Yanyan sitting there motionless and obviously didn't want to care about anything. How come her daughter-in-law suddenly became so smart?

Liu Yanyan looked at Lin Rou, whose face was flushed on the bed, and ignored her. The doctor had already been called in anyway, so whether she could survive would depend on her ability.

Xiao Tao knelt down at Liu Yanyan's feet, crying, "Madam, please save the young lady. She really can't bear it like this."

Liu Yanyan gave Yuzhen a look, and Yuzhen strode forward to pull Xiaotao up, "Xiaotao, you can't force Madam like this. Madam has invited the doctor from Renshan Hall. If you do this, won't people think Madam is not going to help you?"

Xiao Tao refused to get up and said, "Madam, Madam, please save Miss, save Miss, Miss can't go on like this."

Liu Yanyan's eyes were unhappy. "I have already asked for a doctor. I am not a doctor. How can I save her? Please don't make it difficult for me. The old lady has always been the housekeeper. You might as well ask the old lady. Maybe she has connections who can invite a miracle doctor."

Hearing this, Xiao Tao knelt down at the old lady's feet and kowtowed, "Old lady, you are the young lady's aunt. The young lady has always treated you as her biological mother. Please save her life. The young lady will definitely be filial to you."

The old lady looked at the unconscious Lin Rou, her heart suddenly softened, and she took out a hundred-year-old ginseng from her bosom, "Take it and make medicine, it's the best medicine, it will definitely save her life."

Xiao Tao hurriedly took it and went out to boil the medicine.

Liu Yanyan looked at the spoiled ginseng and hid her smile. "Old Madam, I really feel sorry for Rouer. My daughter-in-law is not feeling well, so I will go back first. You should also go to bed early."

The old lady waved her hand impatiently. Liu Yanyan bowed perfunctorily and turned away.
