Chapter 489 Don’t be afraid, I’m here
Daiyu, in her middle dress, lay quietly on the bed, while Jiaorou was locked up in the woodshed again. Alas...
She tossed and turned, feeling increasingly uneasy.
"Zicuckoo..."
Zijuan heard the call and quickly put down her work and walked quickly to the bedside. Seeing Daiyu's solemn expression, her heart tightened and she asked softly:
"Girl, are you feeling unwell?"
Daiyu sat up slightly and said to Zijuan in a low voice:
"Take someone and secretly deliver a few quilts and winter clothes to Concubine Jin. Also, be careful with her daily food. Don't let her suffer any injustice."
When Zijuan heard this, she was stunned at first, and the tent she was arranging in her hands fell down.
She hesitated for a moment before slowly saying, "Miss, in your opinion, this matter..."
Daiyu took off the plain hairpin on her head and gently placed it in a brocade box beside her. She also took off the pearl flower and put it into the brocade box as well.
After doing all this, she sighed and said quietly:
"It's probably because of Duke Tong's Mansion!
They thought that even after the eldest wife left, our family was still living a lively life, and Siyu and I were both pregnant!"
Zijuan's heart suddenly tightened and she almost dropped the brocade box in her hand.
She couldn't help but sigh, it's really like entering a deep sea once you enter a mansion, the reputation is well-deserved!
Daiyu was tugging at the embroidered quilt blankly, her eyes empty as she muttered to herself:
“When I came back from the Pagoda Temple that day, I felt that something was not right with the prince.
The prince seemed a little dazed, very different from his usual self."
Daiyu continued:
"Before Concubine Concubine got into trouble, I had already told the prince to spend more time with Siyu.
After all, Concubine Jin is weak."
However, the prince did not take her words to heart at all. During those days, he was busy like a top, never resting on the ground, and was hardly ever in the mansion.
The more Daiyu thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong. She frowned and continued to analyze:
"It must be the Duke of Tong's Mansion that put pressure on the prince, which is why the prince is so desperate to search for him every day."
She thought of Xiao Lingzi, who was the eldest lady's man and might have been bribed by the people in the Duke's Mansion a long time ago.
"When he saw Siyu and her son were dead, he realized his goal was achieved, so he just walked away!"
Thinking of this, her mood became heavier. The Prince Rong's Mansion, which was once bustling with activity, had now become so deserted.
It was a vast expanse of white earth, so clean that it made people feel chilled.
Daiyu understood that the women in the palace were pitiful!
They are like delicate flowers, suffering from the wind and cold, and withering one by one!
Thoughts surged like the tide. Daiyu lay on the bed, listening to the whistling wind outside the window. The sound of the wind was sometimes like crying and complaining, and sometimes like wild roaring. She couldn't fall asleep for a long time!
Time passed minute by minute, until three o'clock in the morning, when Daiyu's eyelids gradually became heavy and she finally fell into a sleep in a daze.
……
The fat lady stood aside, watching Tiechui busying around for Lianhua like a spinning top, and a nameless anger rose in her heart.
"Iron Hammer, you kid, I really don't know what to say to you!"
The fat lady grumbled angrily, "Even if you want to bring Lotus back, at least say hello to Aunt Wang!"
Tiechui was concentrating on blowing air at the medicine in his hand, but the bowl of medicine seemed to be against him and would not cool down no matter how hard he blew.
He replied casually without raising his head:
"Mom, didn't you ask me to bring my sister back?"
The fat lady choked and became even more upset:
"I asked you to bring her back, but she's so sick now, how can we not tell Aunt Wang!"
Unexpectedly, Tiechui ignored her and turned around and walked back to his room.
Ever since Lotus was brought back, she has had a persistent high fever and has been talking nonsense.
This made Tiechui very anxious. He hadn't slept for two days and had been staying by Lianhua's bed, taking care of her with all his heart.
Tiechui, as usual, carefully lifted up Lotus and gently fed the medicine into her mouth with a small spoon.
After feeding the medicine, Tiechui picked up a clean handkerchief and carefully wiped the corners of Lianhua's mouth.
"Don't come over here, don't touch me!"
Lianhua actually grabbed the quilt and started talking nonsense again.
Tiechui was extremely anxious, so he had to touch Lianhua's forehead again out of concern.
"It's not hot now, why are you still talking nonsense?" Tiechui muttered to himself, his brows tightly furrowed, his face full of worry.
He secretly regretted that if he had known that his sister was hurt so badly, he should not have let that hateful boy go so easily!
"Lotus, lotus..."
Tiechui gently shook her body and kept calling her name. At this moment, he really wanted Lianhua to wake up so that they could have a private chat!
After a while, Lotus's body gradually calmed down and her breathing became steady.
At this moment, she was sleeping very soundly, as if she was having a sweet dream, with a smile on her lips.
Tiechui then lay down at the head of Lianhua's bed with peace of mind, and his body slowly relaxed due to excessive fatigue.
His eyelids became heavier and heavier, and finally slowly closed, and he fell asleep.
When Tiechui woke up, the night was as dark as ink and everything was silent. Only the occasional barking of dogs outside broke the silence of the night.
Tiechui looked around blankly, and when his sight fell on the scene beside him, his heart suddenly tightened and he almost screamed in shock.
He clearly remembered that he was lying on the edge of the bed before, but now, he was lying naked next to Lianhua!
Just as he was startled, a gentle voice sounded in his ears:
"Brother Hammer..."
Tiechui looked over when he heard the sound, and saw that Lianhua had opened her eyes and was staring at him with those beautiful yet sad big eyes.
"Lotus, you...why did you wake up? Are you no longer feverish?"
The sound of the hammer was a little trembling. This was the first time that the two of them were so close to each other in their own home.
Lotus gently held Tiechui's hand and said softly:
"Brother Tiechui, I thought I would never see you again..."
Before she finished speaking, a layer of mist appeared in Lotus' eyes.
The tears of grievance flowed down her pale cheeks like a flood that broke through the dam, landing drop by drop on Tiechui's dark arms and dripping deeply into Tiechui's heart.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here!
This is my home, and from now on it is your home!
You are my wife, Iron Hammer, and no one will dare to bully you anymore!"
Tiechui's hot lips kissed Lotus' lips all at once, and Lotus lay in Tiechui's arms. The candlelight flickered, and Lotus moaned shyly:
"Brother Tiechui, hold me tight..."
