Chapter 123 I bet on Aunt Xia, 2

Xia Zheng's illness had not improved for seven or eight days, and the door of Yinlin Courtyard was always closed. It was said that Xia Zheng could not stand the wind. Only when she woke up crying at night and could not be comforted would someone send her to Shushiju to be given to Gu Yizi, and then pick her up early in the morning.

Nanny Liang couldn't leave today because of something, so Shuangjiang went to pick her up.

As soon as they entered the courtyard, Changfeng led Shuangjiang to the side room, complaining, "Why are you so late? I've been waiting for a long time."

"We were delayed on the road." Frost responded in a low voice.

Changfeng didn't notice anything wrong in Shuangjiang's voice, and continued complaining, "How come your aunt hasn't recovered after all this time? The young lady is making a fuss all night, and my prince has to go to court early in the morning. How can we not sleep well every night?"

"Did the prince ask you to pass on the message?" Shuangjiang asked.

"The prince hasn't said anything, but isn't this obvious? As the prince's attendant, I naturally..."

"The prince didn't say anything. It's his own daughter, and the prince is happy to see her. Why would he need you to come?"

Frost's reply startled Changfeng.

Although he was only Gu Yizi's personal attendant, no other maid in the mansion dared to treat him like this.

Turning around to look at Shuangjiang, he was surprised that this little girl was never eloquent even when she was with Nanny Liang. Why was she so outspoken today? Was she bitten by a firecracker or possessed by a ghost?

He reached out his hand and wanted to touch her forehead.

Frost was so shocked that she immediately waved his hand away, took a step back, grabbed her collar and shouted angrily: "What are you doing! Hooligan!"

"What am I doing wrong? I just noticed something was wrong with you, so I wanted to feel your head to see if you got the disease from your aunt and have a fever."

"You're the one who got sick? Bah! It's my aunt's disease that's not contagious, you're the one who got sick!"

"Hey! You really don't know what's good for you. I'm concerned about you, but you're trying to take advantage of me." Changfeng also got angry. If he didn't show his power, people would really think he was a weakling.

"Is there anyone who cares about others as much as you? You come up and start complaining about my aunt, saying that my aunt's illness is contagious. Didn't she just let the prince take care of the child for a few days? Could it be that this child is my aunt's and my aunt can't be sick for a few days? Does giving birth to a child mean that you can become a god and not eat or drink and never get sick?"

Frostjiang was scolded by Changfeng for what he said.

He naturally thought that the child should be raised by a woman, and even if the child was sick, he should get better as soon as possible and not delay the man's career.

But then he thought again, when his mother was sick when he was a child, it was his father who took care of him. This child was originally the child of both of them, and the prince was willing to take care of him, so he was wrong.

"If the young lady hadn't recognized us, we wouldn't have come to you for help." With a snort, Shuangjiang reached out and pushed Changfeng away and entered the house.

I picked up the baby Ruanruan who was playing in the cradle and was about to leave.

Changfeng quickly put his hand on the door railing to stop the person, "That's not what I meant, I was just asking."

"Now that you've finished asking questions, can I go now?"

After being retorted again, Changfeng wanted to say something, but he could see tears in Shuangjiang's eyes but they refused to fall. She looked as if he had bullied her, so he had to withdraw his hand and let her go.

Seeing the person walk out of the door, he was still curious about what was going on with this girl, so he followed her lightly.

Following him all the way to the Chuihua Gate, he saw Shuangjiang suddenly quicken his pace.

She followed curiously and looked around the Chuihua Gate. There was nothing strange around it, so why should she speed up?

"Look, what did I say? I sent it there again yesterday."

Suddenly, a sound came from the back wall of the hanging flower gate.

Changfeng jumped up by stepping on two protruding stones and looked down from the top of the wall. Several old women were standing behind the wall, looking out of the stone window at the door with hanging flowers.

"You picked me up so late, you must have done it on purpose."

"Of course. Now, the young lady is the only one that Concubine Xia can use. Naturally, she wants to keep the prince as long as possible, so that he will like the young lady. Only then can she have a place in the family after she recovers from her illness."

"She's really just a fire-burning maid, she has no brains. Which man would like to take care of a baby? He only likes it when he looks at it occasionally, but he gets disgusted when he takes care of it. What's more, it's just a girl. If she wasn't the first one, there would be no such pomp and circumstance."

"That's right, Concubine Xia's background is so poor, and the new people will all be joining tomorrow, how can she be considered good enough?"

"If you ask me, I'm just unlucky. I can't afford it. Look, I'm sick now. I've missed all the good opportunities. It's useless to struggle any further."

"Come to think of it, are you going to place a bet or not?"

"Down, down, down, I'm going to be the new master."

"I'm also a new master."

"I also……"

One by one, they took out some change and put it into the right hand of a woman, leaving her left hand empty.

Changfeng grew up in this Duke's Mansion since he was a child, so it's natural for him to not understand these things.

Xia Zheng's illness did not get better, so she could not see Gu Yizi. The new bride was going to be arriving soon, and everyone in the mansion was busy getting in line.

Even though Xia Zheng gave birth to a daughter and took a concubine, she was still just a concubine, and Ruanruan was just a concubine's daughter. In this wealthy family's mansion, except for the wife, everyone else had to rely on favors to survive.

Outsiders cannot see much and only look at the surface to flatter the powerful and look down on the weak.

Even though Nanny Liang is in charge in the courtyard, the subordinates have their own ways of dealing with things. They can trip you up behind your back, and you can't find any fault with them, so you can only suffer in silence.

Since they didn't dare to use these methods against Madam Liang, they would naturally go to Shuangjiang.

No wonder the little maid was so angry.

Thinking of this, Changfeng flew over the wall and down.

Several old women were startled when they saw him suddenly land among them. When they saw that it was Changfeng, they were so frightened that their faces turned pale and they turned around to run away.

But the old woman who was collecting the silver felt her left hand sink. She looked down and saw an extra silver ingot in her palm. It was put there by Changfeng.

"I'm betting on Aunt Xia, ten taels."

"We dare not, we dare not. Please don't tell the prince, brother Changfeng." The old woman hurriedly returned all the silver in her hands to Changfeng.

The other maids followed suit and almost knelt down.

"The bet has already been made, how can I take it back? I'm still waiting to win money." Changfeng pushed the silver back. "As for the prince, I dare not lie to him and will report the truth."

After saying that, Changfeng took a big step and walked between the two old women.

Several old women were in tears, feeling that their good days were over.

Changfeng didn't care and walked quickly to Yinlin's courtyard, ready to tell Shuangjiang about the matter and make the little girl happy.

But before he even entered the door, he saw the little girl who had tears in her eyes just now jumping out of the main room like a little rabbit, her smile showing her pearly teeth, which was two times brighter than the sun.

She is really a little girl, she cries when she wants to cry and laughs when she wants to laugh.

Frost didn't even notice the long wind outside the door. He was only thinking about preparing the things his aunt wanted as soon as possible.
