C50

Difficult to sleep, cold and hot all over, I tossed and turned in bed, and Lush got up four or five times in the night to look at me. I didn't want to worry her, so I lay on my side, listening to the clicks of the clock in the outer chamber, watching the bright paper light up as the sun began to shine.

A pair of warm hands lightly touched my forehead, and then a cool handkerchief fell on my head. I opened my eyes, and there were only a few lights lit inside the room. It was very dim, and in the orange light, my grandmother was sitting on the edge of my bed, wearing a Beverly Blossom jacket.

"Grandmother," I began, startling myself, my voice flat and nasal.

"Don't get up! Lie down and rest. " Grandmother quickly helped me lie down, and Red Jade quickly brought me two pillows. I rested on them for a long time before I could catch my breath.

"Miss!" Lu Ping brought the medicine cup over with two rims of red in her eyes.

I smiled at Lu Ping. My throat itched and I couldn't help but cough. Grandmother quickly grabbed my hand and Red Jade sat on the edge of the bed to help me breathe.

"Hurry up and bring the medicine to your master to drink." Grandmother's brows tightly wrinkled, sternly looking at Lu Ping, the tears in Lu Ping's eyes swirled, brightly reflecting the light. Hong Yu saw Lu Ping's appearance, and took the medicine bowl, spooning after spoonful for me to drink, while Lu Ping wiped her tears away.

"Grandma, it's not Lu Ping's fault." It was obvious that my grandmother could not bear to blame me, but she would not pity Lu Ping.

"Silly child, why are you so stupid?" Grandmother wiped her eyes with a handkerchief. "Why didn't you tell Grandmother when you were in the water?" Isn't this telling Grandmother to worry about you? "

"It's nothing." After drinking that bowl of bitter medicine, my mouth was filled with a bitter taste, making me feel even more uncomfortable. Lu Ping, knowing my habit, passed a cup of tea to Hong Yu by the side, not daring to step forward.

"Even if you fell into the water, I still don't know how you're going to look. You're asking Grandmother to die from anxiety!" The more she spoke, the more tears welled up in her eyes and her voice became choked with sobs.

"Red Jade carefully tucked me in." "Miss, you don't know, I came to see you in the morning, and you were just sleeping, so I went back to the old lady and told her that you had caught a cold, and that even if you fell asleep you wouldn't be able to see the doctor, and the old lady believed me, because in the afternoon you started crying and shouting, and the old lady got anxious when she heard that, and she ran over even before she could eat lunch, and when she saw me, she blamed me for lying about your illness and for not really coming to see you, and she even fainted for a moment, causing us to invite two doctors in, and after waking up the old lady had a good temper." Hong Yu smiled as she explained to me. Only Hong Yu would dare to say such silly words.

"You talk too much!" Grandmother was amused by Red Jade. She used the handkerchief to wipe the tears from her eyes, but the expression on her face was much more relaxed.

"Thank you, grandmother, for worrying." I slightly squeezed Grandmother's hand. There were a lot of wrinkles on it, but it was very warm. It felt like a family member. I never expected my grandmother to worry about me like this. I always thought I was alone.

"All of you go out! Let's talk. " Red Jade took the servants in the room and left, closing the carved door behind her.

"My grandmother's tears fell again, and she gently caressed my hand." Why are you so stupid! " A tear fell on the back of my hand, slightly cool, and then slid down the back of my hand and disappeared into the layers of quilts.

"Even though your aunt was unfaithful, could your grandmother believe you?" Grandmother's eyes were bright as she stared straight at me.

I smiled, which touched my throat. I couldn't help but cough a few times. "Mother Feng, who was by my mother's side, is a smart person."

"What's more important than your body?" My grandmother sighed. She understood what I meant: as long as I didn't mention my illness, my mother wouldn't tell her that I had fallen into the water. She wouldn't know what had happened at the party, and she wouldn't have a chance to ask.

"Not next time." My curled up fingers loosened and were completely wrapped around Grandmother's warm hands. I felt extremely relieved. The warm atmosphere and the gentle light made me feel extremely relaxed. I couldn't help but close my eyes. I could faintly hear Grandmother's sobbing sounds.

When he opened his eyes, the sky was bright, and the bright sunlight shone through the window. On the kang table, there was a pot of fresh blue grass.

Lu Ping came in with the medicine. She was wearing a pink skirt and orange arms. When I woke up, she jogged over.

"Did you see me wake up so excited?" Although his nose was still blocked, his body felt a lot lighter. Seeing such a lively scene, he immediately felt his heart brighten a lot.

"Miss." Lu Ping came forward and held my hand. She was so excited that she couldn't even speak.

"Am I not done?" I smiled and patted the back of her hand.

"You don't know! "Yesterday, you didn't wake up. In the afternoon, young miss suddenly cried out in her dreams and started crying uncontrollably. You were spouting nonsense. You really scared this servant to death." As Lu Ping spoke, her tears flowed uncontrollably as they slid down her cheeks and onto the front of her shirt. Not long later, she was drenched.

"Alright, alright. Am I not fine now?" I wiped her tears. "What did I say?" I am not dreaming, how can I speak nonsense?

"Miss has always been saying that she doesn't want to. She's always tearing up." Lu Ping kept wiping the tears from her eyes. The powder on her face was wiped away, revealing the green in her eyes.

I was relieved that I didn't say anything.

"Miss," Lu Ping sat on her feet and fed me medicine. "You can trust the old lady once." She looked up into my face, afraid I might be annoyed.

"Why do you say that?" I was a little surprised that Lushin would say such a thing. Had my grandmother said something to her?

You don't know, the old lady was really pitiful yesterday." Lu Ping lowered her head. Her hands also stopped moving. She picked up the medicine bowl and sat there in a daze, reminiscing about what happened yesterday. "When the old lady came in, she was in a hurry. One of her coat buttons was wrongly buttoned, and on one of her feet was a pair of sleeping shoes." "When I heard what Lu Ping had said, I smiled and curved my lips. Grandmother usually didn't dress up well, but she was still very neat. I had never seen such a grandma before.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw Miss, the old lady became anxious, I called Sister Hongyu to the doctor, and then I told Sister Hongyu to go into the house and get the medicine to dissolve the phlegm, turning our people and the people the old lady brought, and the wife came back to say that she didn't know where Sister Hongyu put the medicine. When the old lady got angry, she stood up and was about to go look for it herself, but who knew that the moment she turned around to carry the medicine onto the ground, we were frightened, so we hastily went to get someone else. When Lu Ping recalled what happened yesterday, her face had a hint of a smile. Thinking back to what happened back then, such a terrifying incident was now somewhat amusing.

"I know." I took the medicine from Lu Ping's hands and drank it all at once. Why does it always have to be fed to me, spoonful by spoonful, when it was so bitter?

"Why is it that Miss doesn't want to trust the madame?" Lu Ping took the empty bowl from my hand, but didn't go down. She sat on my feet and continued to question me with her eyes.

"Did Grandmother reprimand you yesterday?" I rolled onto my back on the bed.

"This servant understands." Seeing that I changed the topic, Lu Ping lowered her head in disappointment. She stood up and slowly walked out.

All of a sudden, Lu Ping ran back and stood beside the bed. She whispered, "I just feel that the old mistress loves you so much, but the young lady is holding it in. If the young lady isn't happy, the old lady will be sad."

I silently looked at Lu Ping for a long time before lying back on the bed. Lu Ping took the medicine bowl and left. How could I not understand such a simple logic? "Yes, I should have trusted my grandmother, but why can't I trust the people around me?"
