Chapter XIX.

　　The two of them went back to the courtyard together, Yu He whispered: "Young lady, slave girl thinks that Nian Nu'er is a good person. From before, she liked to help you out, and now she's the first one to comfort you when things go wrong. It would have been nice if the person rewarded by madam was her and not Lanzhi." 　　Peony laughed, "She is the only one in this Liu family who still has a conscience. You don't have to be disappointed, it's a good thing that madam didn't reward her to me, think about it, if anything, she can still relieve me, with me, she'll be out of luck." 　　Yu He heard her say such heartbreaking words so calmly, her heart couldn't help but feel a burst of sourness, peeping her eyes, but saw under the slanting sun, Peony smiled serenely, the breeze blew through the wisteria arbor behind her, blowing down the petals all over the ground, lining her with this outfit, lining up her face like a jade, floating as if she was a fairy, a good talent at the end of the day. But this is such a person, but was treated like grass, trampled without pity. 　　Yu He only felt a stream of hot water from his throat down his nose to his eyes, sour and hot, almost unable to hold back his tears, he could only hold it back easily, and said with a forced smile: ''Young lady, don't be sad, this is all temporary. One day you will definitely be able to live a good life." 　　Peony laughed, "With you helping me, I will definitely be able to." Seeing Yu He's eyes uncontrollably red, she couldn't help but lose her smile and backhandedly held her hand and said, "What are you crying for? I'm not sad, what are you sad about? Walk, let's go back first, eat dinner and rest early, tomorrow still have to get up early." 　　Yu He sadly said: "Do you really want to let the doctor to see you?" How can you go after you've consummated your marriage and given birth to a son? 　　Peony laughed, "You girl, how come you're suddenly more anxious than me?" This is an imminent problem, Mrs. Qi's character, who listens to the wind and is thunderous, may soon drive Liu Chang to her room. Liu Chang had already revealed that kind of meaning that day, and today's attitude was also a bit weird, so she had to strategize and plan properly. 　　Yu He sighed, "Anyway, the slave girl is following you wherever you go." What she didn't say in her heart was that if it was her who encountered this kind of man, she would definitely kill the adulterous couple. 　　The master-servant duo returned to the courtyard, Lin mother had been waiting eagerly, seeing the duo come back laughing and joking, her heart was relieved and she greeted them and said, "Young lady, what is it that madam is looking for you for? Is it for the matter of the cousin beating the master? Did he scold you?" 　　Peony was afraid that she was worried, and lightly said, "Definitely a bit angry. But she didn't say anything, she just said that she would ask the Imperial Doctor to come to the house on the next day, so that I would rest early and go there early tomorrow to see the doctor. Then don't want me to go out in the future, and recuperate my body at home." 　　Lin mom heard, thought, this is in the end a scandal, Liu family also soft with a trick. Looking around, she did not see the figure of mama Li and Lanzhi, so she hatefully whispered, "Since we are inviting the eunuch to come, we should treat you together with your other illnesses! This time, we must ask the Master and Madam to come to the door, so that he can make amends to you!" 　　Peony heard that Lin's mother wanted her to pretend to be sick so that she could ask Master and Mrs. He to come to the door to take the blame for herself and to do justice to Liu Chang. In fact, is Liu Chang the kind of person who would easily apologize? He is just a stubborn bastard, not to mention that she doesn't care about it. Although Peony did not think so, but she also felt that she could take this opportunity to get sick again, and logically hide for a while is also a good idea, maybe her "disease" is not yet well, things have been resolved. At that moment, she said, "Mom is right, I will listen to you." 　　Seeing that she was obedient, Lin mom was immediately happy: "Good, I'll listen to mom's arrangement for you at that time, and you can just lie down comfortably." 　　Peony answered, because she saw that Flip had eaten her fill and was fluttering her wings joyfully at herself, "Peony, Daniang!" So she smiled and took a fresh branch and handed it over, "Here you go." 　　Flip was having an itchy mouth, so he joyfully stretched his neck and took it, and began to nibble on it. Peony stood under the porch and played with it for a while, the depression and worries in her heart dissipated by half. 　　Suddenly, she heard the door of the courtyard gently slamming, but it was Jie'er, who had gone to get the dinner, who came back angrily. When Peony saw that she was furious, she laughed and said, "Who has provoked you again?" 　　Forgiveness changed her smile and said, "It's nothing, just that the kitchen is too busy today, and the dishes are not coming out. The slave girl was afraid that the young lady would be anxious to wait, so she asked Kuen Er to wait there, and the slave girl came back to say so first." 　　Peony said unconcernedly, "It's also a fact that there are many guests today, and I don't want them to do it alone, just have them prepare a copy of the meal from the banquet for me to eat." 　　Jiu'er knew that she had always been reckless in this regard, and didn't go into details with her, smilingly answered, and behind Peony's back, she discussed with Yu He in a low voice: "It's really too much of a bully, and the tide is turning too fast! You guys just came out from Madam's courtyard, the young madam's upset with Madam and Prince immediately spread to the kitchen, we went there for half a day, and everyone smiled at us, but just didn't give us any food! I didn't dare to talk to the Young Lady, for fear that she would know and get angry again." 　　In the past, after the young lady and the Prince had a row, there was also such a situation, always have to eat so one or two meals of cold food, only to get better again. This time, I'm afraid it will only be after the young lady has seen the imperial physician that the tide will turn again. Yu He pondered for a moment and said, "You ask Lanzhi to accompany you, she is given by the madam, she came to us here to do nothing else, she won't even be unable to do such a small thing, right?" 　　Jiu'er said, "Good idea, I'll go here." When she turned around, she saw Peony standing not far away and said, "No need, even if Lanzhi goes, the result will be the same. How would she dare to go against the Prince? You have to be careful of being taken advantage of. It's just right, I ate too much greasy food at lunchtime, I don't really want to eat, what they give later is what they give, don't make a fuss, don't make a noise, just bring it back. If I don't eat it, I'll give it to you; it's better than your meals." 　　The more things are complicated, the better, during the day to meet her husband and people cheating, evening by the mother-in-law scolded, the evening by the subordinate difficult, no dinner to eat, she should not be sick? 　　The young lady is just too good-tempered! The young lady is too good-tempered to be bullied and humiliated in this way, and she is really pissed off! 　　Yu He pushed her, "Why don't you go now?" 　　Ju'er pouted and reluctantly went out the door. 　　Peony laughed, "This girl's temper is like charcoal. Kuan'er is a bit too mute again, wouldn't it be good if the two of them neutralized it?" 　　Yu He sighed: "My mother always said that Jue Er's temperament is more like hers, I don't know where I popped out from, I'm not like her at all." 　　As the sky darkened, Kuan'er and Jue'er finally came back, but there were a few plates of cold dishes left over from noon, not to mention the goat's oil on the cakes congealed white, the only thing that was still hot was a plate of cherry quail. Peony casually used some of the quail, then put it down without eating it, letting everyone share the other dishes. 　　This night, not only was the food slow, but also the hot water. Peony waited until late in the evening for hot water to be delivered, loosened her hair and changed her clothes, and only stepped into the bath tub with one foot, when she suddenly heard someone tapping on the door vigorously: "Open the door! The Prince is here!" 　　Coming at this time, surely nothing good! Yu He shuddered in fear and looked at Peony with a pale face, only to see Peony's face go white as well, hurriedly taking her foot back and quickly putting on a red robe. 　　Lin mother also had some drums in her heart, wondering if Liu Chang came to take revenge on Peony for being beaten up by Li Nympho, but thinking of Mrs. Qi's attitude during the day, she was emboldened and commanded Peony: "You lie down, and wait for me to deal with it!" Her idea was, if Liu Chang's attitude was good, then it would be fine, if he wanted to play rough, she would risk her life to make the whole house insecure! 　　Before the words fell, I heard Mrs. Li say outside: "Is the young lady asleep? The Prince is here." It turned out that people did not care about them, and Lanzhi first went to open the door to welcome people in. 　　Lin mom looked at the white face, shaking hands and feet are to the inner room to hide the peony, only to force down the gas to go to the door to receive people, only to see Liu Chang covered with alcohol, half of the body crooked in Lanzhi body standing in the door, a pair of eyes black and blue swelling, as black-eyed chicken like, expression is a forceful and domineering unparalleled: "Your young lady! It's against her! How dare you let that dog come and beat me!"
