Chapter 388 Daiyu is isolated and helpless
Daiyu held her chin with both hands, frowned slightly, and stared blankly at the prince who was still sleeping.
Perhaps it was because she was tired, or perhaps it was because Jiaorou and Hongxuan’s actions made her feel disheartened.
She felt as if she was walking on a cliff, isolated and helpless. There was no way forward and there was a cliff behind her. She was struggling!
As I was thinking, I lay down on the bed and slept for a while.
"Oh, how could you fall asleep like this, Fu Jin, Fu Jin..."
In a daze, Daiyu felt someone pushing her shoulder. When she opened her eyes, it was Siyu who came over with a maid.
Siyu looked at Daiyu's red eyes and concluded that she was sad again.
She took the food box from Caiyue's hand, glanced at the sleepy Daiyu, and said with a smile:
"This is a bowl of lotus seeds with rock sugar, which is the best for clearing heat.
There's also a plate of lotus root slices. You've been working hard these days, it's time to take a break!"
After saying that, Siyu signaled Xiaowan to quickly serve her master dinner.
Daiyu couldn't swallow it at all. Accidents happened one after another. She felt upset and had no appetite.
Unexpectedly, Siyu glanced at the prince, then turned around and forced Daiyu to come to the dinner table.
Siyu has always had little contact with others. She has always been weak and everyone has always thought that she is delicate and a born sickly person.
Jiaorou watched Daiyu scoop a spoonful of rock sugar lotus seeds, but her eyes were fixed on the table, and she didn't put the spoonful of lotus seeds into her mouth for a long time.
Siyu knocked on the table lightly and said angrily:
"What's wrong, do you want me to feed you?
Even if something big happens, you still have to take care of the baby in your belly!"
Daiyu forced herself to eat half of the bowl of rock sugar lotus seeds while tears were about to flow.
Finally, Siyu looked at Daiyu's haggard and exhausted face and said with a smile:
"Go back and have a good rest. You must be exhausted after coming back these days!
I will just be guarding the prince these few days!"
Daiyu felt that even though she had thousands of words in her heart, she only said one sentence to her:
"grateful……"
She wanted to tell Siyu some things to pay attention to, but was stopped by Siyu. Siyu glanced at her growing belly and turned to tell Xiaowan:
“That’s a packet of supplements.
There are donkey-hide gelatin, longan, old ginseng, cordyceps, and morel mushrooms...
Go back and make some chicken soup for your wife to nourish her."
After saying that, he helped Daiyu to the door and naturally smiled and let her have a good rest.
Daiyu came to her own Cuizhu Garden. For such a long time, this place seemed to have become her paradise!
It seems to be the only light that supports my heart!
Xiaowan brought hot water and Xiaoling brought fragrant tea. The little maids looked at Daiyu's big belly as if they had found a treasure.
A little girl came up to Daiyu with a smile, and after greeting her, she said:
"Fujin, I have something good for you!"
After saying this, she blew a loud whistle with her mouth - and then the long-haired, green-beaked parrot flapped its wings and came to Daiyu's side.
Xiaowan happily took the rack, and the parrot stood on it proudly, shouting in a shrill voice:
"Good luck to the wife! Good luck to the wife..."
Daiyu seemed to come back to life and gently stroked the parrot's feathers with her hands. Suddenly, she seemed to remember something and hurriedly asked the maids to lock up the parrot and take it out.
Everyone was puzzled, but they had no choice but to do as they were told.
It was still early, and the sky was gray and covered with a thin layer of fog. It seemed like it was going to rain soon.
It's spring now, and the bare trees in the yard are beginning to sprout.
Soon, they arrived at the courtyard of the eldest lady.
At this moment, Hongxuan and his brother had just finished dinner and were having fun in the yard with their wet nurse.
Cailian was sharp-eyed. Seeing Daiyu coming with the maids, she hurriedly took the hands of the two brothers and came over to pay her respects.
After the two brothers finished paying their respects to Daiyu, they said in a baby voice:
"Greetings to the Lady..."
Daiyu smiled and hurriedly asked Xiaowan to help them both up. She took out some sunflower seeds from her pocket and handed them to Hongxuan. She smiled and told him:
"Xuan'er, try feeding the parrot, and it will talk to you!"
Unexpectedly, Hongxuan, who was smiling just now, threw all the sunflower seeds in Daiyu's hand to the ground when he saw Daiyu trying to please her, turned around and left angrily.
Hongjin, who had just turned three, wanted to tease the parrot with some sunflower seeds, but when he saw his brother throw all the seeds on the ground, he started to cry loudly in panic.
Daiyu hurriedly ordered the maids to get some more sunflower seeds.
At this moment, Hongxuan came running over again, grabbed Hongjin who was still crying, pointed at Daiyu and shouted:
"She was the one who drove my mother away and made my father so angry that he fell ill. Do you still want to acknowledge the thief as your mother?"
After that, he dragged the still crying Hongjin away. Hongjin was only thinking about playing with the parrot and was unwilling to leave. He hurriedly looked at Cailian and shouted:
"Auntie, I won't leave!"
Cailian hurriedly left Daiyu and the others behind, and took the wet nurse to separate the two brothers. After a long while, she walked up to Daiyu with a cup of tea.
Caidie tiptoed over and brought a chair for Daiyu to sit down, while Cailian handed her some tea and knelt down in front of her with a plop.
Before Daiyu could react, Cailian slowly stood up and told Daiyu in a decisive tone:
"Fujin, Hongxuan was just being naughty for a moment!
We have all seen how you behave in your house!
Previously, the wages of night watchmen were increased, and maids and servants were allowed to leave the house and marry freely after they reached a certain age!
Even our indentures are no longer as rigid as before!"
Having said this, he kowtowed to Daiyu again.
As soon as Cailian finished speaking, the maids, servants and old women in the eldest lady's room came over and kowtowed to Daiyu. The huge crowd knelt in the yard.
Daiyu hurriedly asked everyone to stand up and speak, but the servants all said:
"The servants are willing to share the master's worries!"
Xiaowan immediately ordered them:
"Now that your master is not at home, you must take good care of the yard and take good care of the two princes!
This is Fujin's instruction to you!"
Daiyu didn't know how she left. For such a long time, she had never asked others what they thought of her. Today's experience seemed to have given her a huge reassurance.
She left the parrot behind and asked Cailian to give it to Hongjin to play with secretly.
Xiaowan supported Daiyu, and Xiaoling followed behind with a kerosene lamp. It was already late, and at this critical moment, it would be disastrous if Daiyu fell or got hurt.
Unexpectedly, the two maids thought Daiyu was going back to her room, but she insisted on walking forward.
Just in front is a delicate courtyard.
The courtyard gate was closed, and the tightly closed door seemed to separate the inside and the outside into another world.
Xiaowan whispered in Daiyu's ear:
"Fujin, let's go. I'm afraid Concubine is still angry!"
Daiyu insisted that Xiaoling go knock on the door.
Unexpectedly, after knocking for a long time, Caiping finally came to open the door.
Seeing that it was Daiyu, Caiping was about to say, "Fujin, please come in!"
But then she heard Jiaorou yelling from inside: "Ping'er, it's so late, who's knocking on the door?"
Daiyu hurriedly said with a smile: "Sister, it's me, why don't you let the maids open the door for me?"
When Jiaorou heard Daiyu's voice, her good temper immediately disappeared and she shouted impatiently, "Caiping, are you deaf? Didn't I tell you that I won't see any guests today?"
From a distance, I could hear the sound of Jiaorou throwing the teacup to the ground.
Caiping hastily saluted Daiyu. She stuck out her tongue, pointed toward the courtyard, and whispered to Daiyu:
"Fujin, I'm sorry, you should go first!
That temper is coming up again!"
Daiyu had no choice but to pull Xiaowan and the others away. Unexpectedly, vicious shouting and cursing came from the yard again:
"You don't even care about your own daughter, but you're taking care of other people's children!
How can you stick mutton on a dog? "
Daiyu was shocked when she heard this. As soon as Caiping closed the door, she hurriedly asked Xiaoling to hold up the kerosene lamp and insisted on seeing their arms.
That’s right. I was away for those days, and these things happened when I came back. I haven’t asked these two girls how they are!
