A glance at the spring breeze

On the second day, Ruan Lan woke up from the tub, unsurprisingly caught wind and cold.

Looking at the sky outside the window, it is not bright or dark, and the sun is far away in the sky, so it should be early morning.Based on this calculation, he was unconscious in the bucket for nearly two hours.

He felt himself shivering from the cold all over his body, and his hands and feet had been soaked in the water until he lost consciousness.However, the breath exhaled from the tip of the nose is hot - it should be a fever.

The scar on his hand was completely soaked by the bucket of water, and the skin around the wound was wrinkled and rough to the touch, and it hurt even more than last night when he touched it.

As soon as Ruan Lanfu stood up from the bathtub, she immediately felt dizzy and dizzy, and almost fell into the water again.He reluctantly walked out of the bathtub with trembling legs, picked up the clothes that were still on the ground last night, and put them all on his body.

"Bang bang bang."

At this moment, Ruan Lan was a little slow to react. After hearing the voice, she reacted for a while before realizing that someone was knocking on the door.

How could someone knock on the door so early in the morning?

Before Ruan Lan could respond, the people outside opened the door and came in talking to themselves.

Ruan Lan poked her head out from behind the curtain, looked towards the door, and saw a slender middle-aged man standing there with a wooden box on his back, muttering, "Hey? Where are the injured?"

This outfit should be a doctor.

Ruan Lan didn't want to make a sound at first, she was going to wait for the man to turn around and leave before coming out.Unexpectedly, at this moment, his right leg suddenly began to convulse and throb, and he staggered forward.In order to maintain the balance of the body, the tiptoes had to make a sound on the ground.

The doctor came in after hearing the sound, pulled open the curtain in front of the tub with a serious face, and said to him, "You actually hid here. It's not a good thing to hide your illness and avoid medical treatment."

Ruan Lan was dragged by the doctor to lie on the bed.The doctor put the medicine box in front of the table and said: "I heard from your family members that you have explained the situation. You don't need to be afraid. I will definitely keep this secret."

family?What family?

Did the family know he was here? !

After being startled, Ruan Lan regained her composure.After careful consideration, I finally denied the above speculation in my heart.

No... If Ruan's father and Ruan's mother knew what happened to him, they would never send just one doctor.It must be that King Yu's subordinates followed him here last night, and then pretended to be his family members this morning, and went to the street to find a doctor to treat his injuries.

Could it be that Yin Xian couldn't wait to humiliate him, so he wished for his body to recover quickly so that he could satisfy his beast/desire again?

The clothes Ruan Lan wrapped around her body were already in tatters, and the wound on her arm was directly outside. The doctor took his pulse and held his arm to look over and over again, asking: "Did you touch the water last night?" ?”

Ruan Lan was quite weak, and nodded with half-opened eyes.

"I'll give you some medicine first, remember, don't touch the water for two days." The doctor handed over another medicine bottle and said, "And this, after I leave, you can apply it on the wound behind you ,"

"...Okay." Ruan Lan knew where the "injury" he was talking about, and turned her head in embarrassment.

"I brought you some heat-clearing and throat-clearing medicine. Your voice is already very hoarse. You should try to speak as little as possible these days and drink more warm water." The middle-aged doctor bowed his head and wrote a prescription, then recited it I went to the medicine box, "When I leave later, I will find the waiter in the shop and ask him to cook this medicine for you, but I don't have enough herbs on my body, so you can take this prescription well, and when you have cultivated strength here, you can use it." Go to a pharmacy to get the medicine. Take it twice a day for seven days."

Ruan Lan thanked, "Please trouble the doctor. I don't know what the doctor's name is?"

The man replied: "My surname is Meng, so I'm called Doctor Meng."

Not long after Doctor Meng left, Xiao Er brought him a bowl of boiled medicine and brought him a new set of clothes.Ruan Lan guessed in her heart that it was probably because Dr. Meng saw that his clothes were ragged and unseemly, and asked Xiaoer to bring them.

After changing her clothes, drinking the medicine, and lying on the bed for a deep sleep, Ruan Lan was ready to go home.

Before going home, she was apprehensive, but she didn't expect that as soon as she entered the door, she found out that her father happened to be away from home, and Ruan Lan's mood suddenly relaxed.

Although the mother is still in the mansion, Ruan's mother has always had bad eyesight. As long as Ruan Lan hides the hoarseness, it is impossible for Ruan's mother to find out that he was injured.

In this way, he can confuse this injury in front of Ruan's mother.

"Master..."

When she opened the door of the room, Ruan Lan saw that his personal maid, He Xiang, was looking at him with red eyes, her face was gray and haggard, and the face of the sweet guest was sunken. weak.

"He Xiang...why are you crying?"

Ruan Lan supported He Xiang to sit down at the table, and patted her on the shoulder lightly: "But what happened?"

But He Xiang stood up suddenly, and knelt down in front of him with a "thump", "Young Master, Young Master, I'm sorry, He Xiang deserves to die!" After saying that, He Xiang began to kowtow on the floor.The sound of kowtow was overshadowed, Ruan Lan couldn't bear it, and quickly helped her up: "He Xiang, what's wrong with you?"

He Xiang burst into tears with a "wow", and the voice continued intermittently: "Your servant...the servant is pregnant..."

"Pregnant..."

He Xiang is the big girl that Ruan's mother arranged to serve Ruan Lan in Ruan Lan's room ten years ago. She has a higher status than other maidservants in Shangshu's mansion since she was a child, and is respected by other servants.

The so-called big girl, although her status is not as good as a concubine, she has the duty of a "concubine".If the male master has any physical needs, the big girl will satisfy them one by one.

But Ruan Lan has always considered herself noble and unwilling to indulge in the affairs of men and women, so she has never had sex with He Xiang.Not only that, but he also thought about finding a good family for He Xiang to marry.

Although the two have never had an actual relationship, He Xiang is still his in name. At this time, He Xiang has committed adultery with someone else and became pregnant. If people in the mansion find out, He Xiang will surely die a happy life according to the family law of the Ruan Mansion. .Either they were beaten to death together with the child in their womb with sticks, or they were tied up in a grass cage and sank to the bottom of the river alive.

He Xiang guessed that the kind-hearted and warm-hearted young master would definitely not want to see the maidservant who had served him die at such a young age.

Ruan Lan sighed hoarsely, "Who is the father of the child?"

He Xiang still sobbed with her head down, unwilling to speak.

"I won't talk to others. Since you have come to beg me, you must have assumed that I will help you, right?"

Seeing that her thoughts had been pierced, He Xiang could only shed tears and said, "It's... Wang Rusheng from the chaifang."

"Wang Rusheng?"

Ruan Lan immediately saw a middle-aged man with a greasy face and a big belly... He couldn't help reaching out and touching his face and chin.

Why did He Xiang fall in love with Wang Rusheng's...?

He Xiang wiped away her tears, and said: "Master, this servant knows I'm sorry for you, but this servant really loves you like a living! The young master's great kindness, the servant will definitely repay you in the next life, and the young master must help the servant and the child in the belly of the servant. My child...Master..."

As she said that, she knelt down and kowtowed again. After a while, her hair became messy, and the top of her head began to bleed slowly.

Ruan Lan was already annoyed by what happened last night, but now the sound of kowtowing heavily disturbed him even more.He suddenly raised his voice and said, "Stop knocking!"

Ruan Lan seldom lost his temper, and He Xiang had almost never been scolded by Ruan Lan before, but now she was too frightened to breathe, thinking that the young master was really angry with her.

Seeing that the expression on He Xiang's face suddenly became terrified, Ruan Lan realized her gaffe just now.He picked up He Xiang who was kneeling on the ground, and said softly, "So does Wang Rusheng know about this?"

"He knows." He Xiang's voice was thickly nasal, "He told me...he didn't know what to do."

Ruan Lan stood up, with her hands behind her back, wandered around the room three times before saying, "Father is not here right now, take this opportunity, you guys hurry up and leave."

He Xiang opened her eyes wide: "Is what the young master said true?!"

Ruan Lan looked at her and breathed a sigh of relief: "When have I ever lied to you? It's you...don't be fooled by other fools."

He Xiang shook her head quickly: "No, no, Rusheng treats me very well, and he will definitely not let me down."

Ruan Lan said: "That's good. I will find a way to get your deed of sale later. After you get the deed of sale, you can go with him."

"Thank you sir!"

Later, Ruan Lan couldn't remember what He Xiang and Wang Rusheng said and did when they left the Ruan Mansion.He only remembered, but one month later, he saw He Xiang again.

He Xiang was captured by Yin Xian.

In just one month, the crown prince Yin Cheng was gone, and Yin Jian began to eradicate the prince's faction in the court and the opposition.Yin Jian didn't know where to get the news that Ruan Lan sent her personal maid out of the capital overnight, so she took He Xiang and Wang Rusheng back together.

At this time, Yin Cheng was under house arrest in the East Palace, and his confidant, Ruan Shangshu, was also suffering from illness because of the unbearable blow.

On this day, Yin Jian came to "visit" Ruan's father who was ill in bed.

Before stepping into the gate, Eunuch Zhang suddenly whispered in Yin Jian's ear: "The people below came to report just now, and the man named Wang Rusheng has confessed that Master Ruan Lanruan ordered him to send the maid Hexiang out of Beijing." , after the Taifu took the pulse, he found that the maid was pregnant for more than three months."

Yin Jian snorted: "What is the identity of the maid?"

Eunuch Zhang replied: "It's Ruan Lan's personal eldest girl. Your Highness, how should I deal with it?"

Yin Xian's eyes flashed a sinister color that others could not detect: "Kill it."

"Yes."

"No, keep it for now...Press her over, let her see with her own eyes how her unconventional master tactfully courts/loves others, and then give her a foot of white silk and let her commit suicide."

"Yes."
