In the afternoon, when Jia Zheng was taking an examination of Baoyu, Baoyu was beaten several more times, which made Jiamu's heart ache to death.

Jiamu and Mrs. Wang each gave a good plaster for reducing swelling and clearing away heat, showed love and affection to Baoyu, and then specially called Xiren to beat her so that she could take good care of her.

When the attacker returned to the house, Qingwen had already waited on Baoyu to apply the plaster.

The maids in the room carefully flattered Baoyu, and at night, Baoyu finally showed a little smile on his face.

This night, it was supposed to be Musk Moon's turn to watch the night, but since she restrained her feet and attacked people on top, she was duty-bound.Xiren took off his remaining make-up and changed his skirt and jacket before returning to the Nuan Pavilion.

At noon, Sheyue spoke ill of Xiren in front of Baoyu. Xiren thought about it for a while, and she had been acting cautiously during this period of time, without leaving anything behind.Except for the first night when Xiren accused Li Nanny in order to protect himself, which indirectly caused Li Nanny to be kicked out.

Baoyu is Xiren's immediate boss now, and Xiren must not let Baoyu become suspicious of her and separate from her.

"Here, Mrs. Tang, I'll fill you up." Qingwen handed Mrs. Tang to Xiren.

"It's hard for you to think about it. It's warm outside the warm pavilion. It's not as cold as the kang in your house. It won't be used today." Baoyu laughed.

"Stop messing with her!" Qingwen smiled and gave Baoyu a sideways glance, "She is always aggressive, but she has not been ill for a long time, so she came to take care of her at night. What a hard life!"

"When did you get sick?" Baoyu was surprised and asked the attacker.

Xi Ren was stunned, hadn't she recovered from her illness long ago?As Xiren was about to explain, he suddenly saw Qingwen carrying Baoyu and winked at her quietly.With a thought in Xi Xin's mind, the words that were about to come to his mouth were swallowed.

The whole afternoon, Xiren was deliberating.No matter how she chooses the wording, she can get back the matter of Nanny Li and get Baoyu's understanding or even sympathy as much as possible.

Qingwen gave her this trick, which was really a good starting point.

"A few days ago I caught a cold, so I asked Madam Li for leave to recuperate. You forgot?" Xiren explained to Baoyu, and at the same time made a veiled gesture to Qingwen to thank her.

"Ah, I remembered!" Baoyu patted his forehead, "It was also you who went out that night. You got up at night and went out. You only wore a small jacket. Sure enough, the next day your nose was stuffy and you were sick!"

"That's not true." Xiren had already inquired about the cause and effect of the original owner's illness. Now that Baoyu brought up the details, she was not timid, "I said that I have a good physique and I am not afraid of the cold, but the next day I was slapped in the face. It's really embarrassing!"

"These days I've been so busy with my illness that I've forgotten about your recovery." Baoyu couldn't help but blame herself.

"If you want to count on you, the day lily is cold." Qingwen laughed and scolded, "Didn't you see that Xiren hasn't slept in the past few days? It was because I was afraid that her illness would relapse, so I replaced her."

"Since the illness is not fully recovered, why don't you stay for two more days?" Baoyu asked with concern.

"If it's normal, I'll just be lazy. If I don't pay close attention to such a serious matter as your illness, let alone the old lady is worried, it's just myself. I worry about my heart and lungs all day long, so I don't have the time to recuperate!" The attacker showed his loyalty.

"Where's Nanny Li?" Baoyu said suddenly, "with her in charge, the house won't be chaotic."

Baoyu took a pair of small scissors from Qingwen's sewing basket, went to the window, and casually cut the wick.Xiren and Qingwen looked at each other. Although Baoyu looked indifferent, it was obvious that he didn't mean to ask at this moment.

Qingwen has always been outspoken, she sneered, "If Madam Li hadn't been in charge, how could Xiren and I have been taken down for questioning!"

"Ask the crime?" Baoyu's hand trembled, almost poking the flames out.

"The night you were sick, Nanny Li, She Yueqiuwen and others were there, Qingwen and I were not there, do you remember?" Seeing that Qingwen was very angry, Xiren took up the topic.

"I remember." Baoyu nodded, "It's true that you are not there."

"But when the old lady interrogated you why you were sick, Nanny Li testified that Qingwen and I were the main culprits, we were the ones who made you sick." Thinking of Nanny Li's shameless actions that day, Xi Ren couldn't help but vomit.

"How come? It's obviously me..." Baoyu said halfway, her face flushed suddenly.

Qingwen snatched the small scissors from Baoyu's hand, slapped them in her sewing basket, "Nurse Li has a loving heart, and she can't bear you to be scolded by the old lady and the wife, so she put the shit bowl in Xiren and I are on the head, it’s really a good plan!"

"I didn't mean that, how could I let you take the blame for me..." Baoyu was at a loss and hurriedly explained.

"Of course you don't need to dirty your hands. Someone will make plans for you." Qingwen sneered, "Since you miss your loving and thoughtful Nanny Li, why do you need us to make trouble in front of you? Simply kick us out, because of your darling Wouldn't it be better if the smart man gave way?"

Before Baoyu could answer, Qingwen turned her head and looked at Xiren, "Others belittle you, you should be sensible, don't belittle yourself. But you and I are not relatives, maybe I have evil intentions too! Tang Pozi will keep it for you, whether you like it or not!"

After finishing speaking, Qingwen slammed the curtain and left.

Baoyu stomped his feet and was about to go after him.

Xiren stepped forward to stop her, "You also know her temper. When she gets angry, how can she be distracted to listen to your defense? If you go over now, it will only make her more angry."

"Alas..." Baoyu stopped, sighed a long time, and sat down on the couch.

"The next night, her anger also subsided. Just laugh, she can still take Qiao." Xiren put Qingwen's mother Tang, who had left her, under the bed, "Qingwen has a cold face and a warm heart. Yes, if it wasn't for Nanny Li that day...she wouldn't be so angry."

"Nurse Li is really slandering you..." Although Baoyu was still asking the question, she already believed it eighty percent in her heart.

Although Nanny Li was careful and thoughtful in front of Baoyu, which of the maids and women in the room hadn't been suppressed by her?

Those who can stand out in Baoyu's room are not stupid people. Li Nanny thought that Baoyu didn't know about her rampage, but in fact, she had been accused countless times by a group of maids and wives.

Baoyu was just nostalgic for the past, thinking that Nanny Li was getting older and would retire sooner or later, so she turned a blind eye.

As Qingwen said just now, Nanny Li's misfortune is too much like Nanny Li's usual style of doing things.No matter how much Baoyu defended her against her will, she couldn't say that Nanny Li was a clean and decent person.

"Since the second master doesn't believe me and Qingwen at all, why bother to ask again?" Xiren turned cold.

"I didn't, I just wanted to make sure again." Baoyu had a terrible headache, "My dear sister, why are you angry?"

"The same is a slave who serves others, who is more noble than the other?" Xi laughed angrily, "It's a great credit for her old man to talk. We were busy from morning to night, and we couldn't say goodbye. When something happened I'm still going to be used as a blame. What? Now that I'm getting angry, do I get in the way of the second master? "

"I didn't mean that." Baoyu hurriedly stood up and apologized.

"That's not what it means?" Xiren sneered, and retorted, "If that's not what he meant, he would try us like thieves. If he had that intention, wouldn't he want to eat us alive!"

"I..." Baoyu was tongue-tied and blushed.

Seeing that Baoyu was sweating profusely, Xiren didn't intend to push him any further, "If the second master doesn't believe me, just ask the old lady. There are all witnesses and material evidence, who can rely on her."

Baoyu sat down and murmured, "The old lady interrogated herself?"

"Which old lady doesn't ask about any affairs in your house? What's more, Li Nanny is so decent, even the second mistress thinks highly of her. If there is no old lady and wife's consent, who would dare to drive her out privately? Mansion?" Xi Ren asked.

"Mommy's decency...it's all gone now." Baoyu was stunned for a while.

The attacker opened his mouth, and seeing Baoyu's sad look, he finally stopped beating the dog in the water.

To Xiren, Nanny Li is just a villain who does all kinds of bad things; but to Baoyu, she must have some kind of family affection.If it weren't for this, Baoyu wouldn't have favored an old nanny when Baoyu obviously relied heavily on Xiren Qingwen.

The chiming bell on the Shijin Pavilion in the outer room rang, and the old woman on duty in the outer room turned over the charcoal and coughed twice, "Second Master, go to bed, and talk tomorrow if you have something to say."

"Go to sleep, don't rush this night, we'll talk about things tomorrow." Xiren whispered.

"Okay." Baoyu muffled in response.

Xiren bolted the door, covered the felt curtain, and waited for Baoyu to sleep. Fang was relieved and fell asleep outside the Nuan Pavilion.

A few days ago, serving Baoyu was nothing more than cutting the lamp, cooking tea, doing needlework, and serving the wash... Once you get familiar with the procedures, it is not difficult.Baoyu was generous to others, and even maidservants, big and small, dared to fight with him, but Xiren didn't see any difference.

After tonight's encounter, Xiren can see clearly that the two maids, Xiren Qingwen, really have Baoyu's favor.

You know, even if these young maids in the room are coquettish with Baoyu, they will only pick up when he is in a good mood.Of course, Baoyu is rarely unhappy with girls.

But if Baoyu got really angry, all the smart people would stay away.

Tonight, Baoyu is obviously very partial to Li Nanny, but Qingwen dares to step on Li Nanny, sneering and cursing.However, Baoyu only questioned a few sentences at the beginning, but later gave in a lot.

Xiren tried it, and Baoyu did the same to her.

It seems that Xiren Qingwen is really different from Baoyu.

However, Baoyu's favor and trust does not mean that everything will be fine.In the original book, Xiren was married to Jiang Yuhan, Qingwen was expelled, and died of illness outside the mansion.All Baoyu can do is to write condolences.

All she can rely on is herself.

It was warm under the quilt, Xiren turned over and put his feet on Mrs. Tang, a smoky warmth spread over him.
