The two of them had a great time, going on a cruise, going to temple fairs, and guessing lantern riddles. They had a relaxed and happy feeling like the two of them roaming the streets together after Du Ruofu got married.
When he came back, Cheng Yunshuo bought a bunch of gadgets for Du Ruo, making her feel arrogant.
Everyone can see that Cheng Yunshuo dotes on her.
Some people even said privately that the way Cheng Yunshuo doted on her was a bit like Xing Dairong before he doted on her.
All these words fell into Du Ruo's ears.
Her heroic little eyebrows raised disdainfully.
What does it mean to favor Xing Dairong? What does Xing Dairong mean?
She has always been unique in her master's heart!
The next day, Cheng Yunshuo went on errands, and Du Ruo was still immersed in joy. She was walking in the backyard wearing the new things Cheng Yunshuo bought for her.
Qiu Ling and Linglong looked at her, both staying away from her sharp edge.
Neither of them bothered to argue or fight with her now. She was favored and could show off as much as they liked.
They didn't care. If they had the time to argue with her, they might as well go to Lu Lingjun's yard to embroider clothes and drink tea.
Those days are really comfortable!
Du Ruo had no one to compete with her, and she felt a sense of accomplishment in her heart, and even felt a little confused.
These people are nothing more than that!
Today she suddenly received a letter that her aunt was seriously ill.
"Xiaowei, go and tell your master that my aunt's condition has worsened and I want to go back and take a look."
"Yes." After a while, Xiaowei came back, "The young lady agreed and asked the carriage to be prepared."
After hearing this, Du Ruo hurriedly went out. When she reached the main entrance, the guard guarding the door stopped her.
"Auntie, please don't go through the front door or the side door."
"You!" Du Ruo got angry when he heard this.
She has been in the Hou Mansion for so long, and she used to enter and exit through the main entrance because she was a young lady who lived here as a guest.
After she became an aunt, she was brought in through a side door. She didn't care at that time, and later on the day of the Dragon Boat Festival temple fair, she followed Cheng Yunshuo out of the door and walked through the main entrance. In this way, this was her first time after becoming an aunt. Entering and leaving the Hou Mansion once.
Go sideways.
"Do you know who I am! Aren't you afraid that my master will come back to punish you?"
"Aunt Du, this is the rule of the house. Just file a complaint to Madam Marquis. You have to go to the other side today!" The gatekeeper's surname is Cheng. He is a slave of the Cheng family. Guarding the gate is also a big job. Unless you care about someone, you don't need it. As the saying goes, a third-rank official in front of the prime minister's door, and a domestic slave who has reached his level will not be afraid of his aunt.
What he controls is the face of the Hou Mansion, so what if he uses his power to bully others and show off his power?
When Du Ruo heard this, she felt deflated for a moment. She thought of the anger she had suffered as an aunt before, and she snorted, "Let's go astray!"
She still went astray.
Riding a carriage, Du Ruo returned to her aunt's house.
Her aunt's condition worsened again.
His face was pale.
As soon as her aunt saw her, she waved to her. I don't know why. I used to find her aunt annoying. No matter how much she interfered, she didn't want to meet her at all. She even cursed her to die early in private. Now seeing her like this, Du Ruo's heart suddenly tightened.
"aunt!"
"A Ruo." My aunt grabbed Du Ruo's hand and said with a pale face, "Is it okay if you marry me as my concubine?"
Du Ruo raised his eyebrows when he heard this and smiled, "I'm very fine. My master loves me very much."
Hearing this, her aunt's face showed a little bit of relief, "Being a concubine is not a wife. You must control your temper. Cheng Shizi's family is generous, and you should not contradict the mistress. Take good care of the mistress and the mistress, and give birth as soon as possible. A child."
She thought to herself.
Du Ruo didn't want to hear it anymore, "Aunt, you are an old man. My master really dotes on me. There is nothing wrong with being a concubine. I have my master's favor, and the mistress doesn't dare to punish me! "
"Aruo!" The aunt grabbed her hand with strength, and just as she was about to scold her, she spit out a large mouthful of blood.
"Aunt!" Du Ruo called her quickly.
Next to her, her uncle's family members also stepped forward.
"Mom, don't be angry!"
"Slow down, slow down!"
"Aunt, what's wrong?" Du Ruo asked hurriedly.
"The doctor has checked. The illness is too serious. I'm afraid he won't be alive for a few days."
"How can this be done!" Du Ruo stood up with a nervous look on his face, "I'll ask the doctor again!"
"Aruo, the doctors in the capital have taken a look at it. It's not like you don't know, unless you can invite the imperial doctor."
Royal physician...
Except for nobles, how could ordinary officials' families hire imperial doctors, and their families were just low-level officials as big as sesame seeds and mung beans.
At this time, Du Ruo's voice sounded, "I'm going to ask the imperial doctor!"
Her words made everyone else look at her.
"I will go back to find my master. He will definitely be able to hire an imperial doctor!" Du Ruo's eyes were bright.
Her master loved her so much that she told him that he would definitely bring in an imperial doctor for her!
With that said, Du Ruo ran back in a gust of wind.
That night, Cheng Yunshuo came back.
As soon as he came back, he went to her little lotus courtyard.
"Master!"
"What's wrong?"
"My aunt is seriously ill, and she won't be alive for a few days." Du Ruo looked at Cheng Yunshuo pitifully, "I went back and took a look today, and all the doctors said there was nothing that could be done."
When Cheng Yunshuo heard this, he looked sad and said, "Then you should spend the next few days with your aunt."
"No." Du Ruo quickly grabbed his arm, "My brother and the others said that if we ask a royal doctor to come and take a look, there might be hope. Master, please help me bring a royal doctor to my aunt to take a look!"
Please ask the royal doctor...
Cheng Yunshuo's sad face suddenly became solemn.
Is it easy to hire an imperial doctor?
Even if the Marquis of the Qin family wanted to see a doctor, they would only ask Doctor Liu. It would be a great honor to ask the imperial doctor.
Either the superiors are merciful and allow a royal doctor to come to your home with honor and consideration, or else they have to sacrifice their family's great favor and face!
The man in the family has to go to Tai Hospital in person to ask for it.
Even when Qiu Ling had difficulty giving birth, the Cheng family did not go to the imperial doctor.
Of course, if Cheng Yunshuo had been around at that time, Xing Dai Rong would have desperately asked the imperial doctor to come.
Now she is just Du Ruo's aunt...
"Master, I am just an aunt. She has been very good to me since I was a child. Can you bear to see her leave like this?" Du Ruo couldn't feel Cheng Yunshuo's pressure at all and pestered him to continue begging, "As long as you open your mouth, Yu The doctor is here, just get one for me!"
Seeing Cheng Yunshuo's delay, Du Ruo turned his head and looked at him with watery and stubborn eyes, "If you don't help me, I'll be angry!"
At this moment, Cheng Yunshuo seemed to see Xing Dairong.
That kind of agility, stubbornness, coquettishness, and rebelliousness.
Xing Dai Rong once said that Du Ruo is like her.
The reason why Cheng Yunshuo treated Du Ruo differently from the very beginning was because Du Ruo's temperament was somewhat like hers.
Staring into her eyes, Cheng Yunshuo said slowly, "I'll treat you."
