When they came back, they didn't see anyone else.

She was stopped by the aunts just now and didn't realize this problem.

But now...

The housekeeper frowned and said, "Let's take the doctor in first."

"Here."

The little maid raised her hand to wipe away her tears, "Please come with me, doctor."

The little maid brought the doctor in.

Seeing this, the concubines could only hold their handkerchiefs.

"All the ladies, please go back to your own courtyards first. If you are worried about Madam, I will have someone inform you of Madam's condition later."

After hearing this, the group of concubines did not dare to stay any longer: "Okay. Thank you for troubling the housekeeper."

As they talked, they pushed each other and walked away.

As soon as the others left, the housekeeper's face darkened: "Wenming, go and see where everyone in the Madam's yard has gone."

Although he was the chief steward of the entire mansion, most of the time he was only in charge of the area outside the second gate.

The female members of the second gate also have a housekeeper.

If he hadn't found anyone at the second gate today, he wouldn't have wanted to come in.

After all, he was not only a butler, but also a general's subordinate.

But I didn't expect that I would discover such a big mistake by chance!

If he hadn't sent someone to call a doctor right away...

Civilization responded.

After a while, she came back with a group of maids.

The housekeeper ignored them and only asked Wenming: "Where did you find it?"

Wenming replied: "Reporting to the housekeeper, these maids were just in the old lady's yard, playing with the maids in the old lady's yard!"

"Nonsense!" the butler shouted coldly, "You guys are playing during your duty hours?!"

Civilization is also a bit speechless.

When he went over just now, the old lady said:

"Just let them play. They are just kids, playing and making noise will make my yard more popular."

But he didn't dare tell this to the housekeeper at the moment.

I can only wait and tell it quietly.

"We went to play because the old lady and the Madam allowed us to do so!"

One of the maids in green replied with her neck stiffened.

The housekeeper looked at her and saw that she still had pride and resentment on her face.

The housekeeper sneered: "You are right. Then you can continue to play! Be civilized and send them to the old lady's yard!"

A group of maids:???

What do you mean?

Wenming knew that the butler was going to ask the Marquis for instructions directly, so he immediately made a "please" gesture:

"Sisters, please."

Several maids looked at each other, unable to figure out what was going on, so they simply waved their hands and turned away.

The housekeeper's eyes darkened.

This backyard doesn't seem as harmonious as he and the Marquis had imagined!

When the doctor came out, he asked the maid to greet his wife on his behalf, and then left with the doctor.

After they left the second door, he asked, "How is the lady?"

The doctor looked at the housekeeper and hesitated to speak.

The housekeeper was somewhat speechless: "Old Geng, what do you mean by this? Why are you acting like a woman?"

Lao Geng: ...

"You're just like a woman! I... ahem... well, let's talk while we walk."

Damn, I almost failed.

The housekeeper laughed and nodded: "Okay, let's go."

Lao Geng used to be a military doctor in the army.

Later, when he got older, he let his apprentice take over.

I heard that he went back to his hometown to visit relatives.

He was invited back by his own general just last month.

Lao Geng snorted and ignored him.

After walking out of the second gate for a long time, he lowered his voice and said, "Old man, our general's mansion is not peaceful!"

The housekeeper frowned: "What do you mean?"

"Madam has been poisoned, did you know that?"

"What?!" the butler exclaimed and looked at Lao Geng in disbelief.

"Besides, this slow-acting poison has been administered for several years. If it continues, I'm afraid my life will be in danger!"

The housekeeper's face darkened: "Every month the mansion arranges for someone to check the pulse of the family members."

Of course, he did not doubt his old partner's words.

Lao Geng also understood: "I'm afraid there's something wrong with that doctor."

"But the doctor is an old lady..."

The butler's voice suddenly stopped.

I remembered that the maids in the main courtyard were playing in the old lady's yard just now.

But on weekdays, it seems that the old lady and the lady get along very well.

The housekeeper felt a little uneasy and took Lao Geng's hand: "This is a serious matter. Please wait a moment. I will have someone send you to the military camp to find the general. You can tell the general in detail."

"Okay." Lao Geng didn't refuse.

The housekeeper became more and more uneasy, and he hurriedly pulled Lao Geng back to his room.

Grind the ink quickly and write a letter.

He told her everything that had happened at home after Marquis Dingyuan left.

After finishing writing and drying it, he handed the letter to Lao Geng: "Give the letter to the general."

"Okay! Don't worry!"

Lao Geng put the letter in his arms and left with Wenming.

The housekeeper has already arranged for other people to start investigating the matters in the inner courtyard.

To be honest, such a big thing happened in the inner courtyard, but he was completely unaware of it. This was his dereliction of duty.

*

Marquis Dingyuan did not hide the fact that he sent his son to the military camp from anyone.

When Concubine Yi heard this, she just said "I know" and didn't say anything else.

Xiaojiu smiled.

Xiao Shi's face was full of envy.

He looked at his ninth brother and asked tentatively: "Ninth brother, tell me, if I ask the emperor not to go to the Imperial College but to the military camp, will he agree?"

Xiaojiu looked at his brother in surprise: "Xiaoshi, do you like martial arts?"

Xiao Shi scratched his head: "Hehe, I don't really like it. But if I can skip classes at the Imperial College, I might like it a bit."

Xiaojiu:……

"Haha! I'm afraid you will not only have to go to the Imperial College, but also to the military camp. You can't delay both! Look at my elder brother, isn't that right?"

Xiao Shi:⊙﹏⊙

"Oh yeah! Forget it then."

Although he didn't like studying, he could still play with his ninth brother after school at the Imperial College.

If I have to go to the military camp after school like my elder brother did before, then what’s the point!

My eldest brother likes the military camp.

Going to the military camp is like playing.

He doesn't like it!

Xiao Shi's head shook like a rattle.

Xiaojiu just thought it was funny.

In the military camp that Xiao Shi despised, his new good friend was crying and being led by a group of soldiers to run circles.

He didn't want to run.

But his father tied a rope around his waist, so if he didn't run, he would be dragged on the ground.

Looking at his bruised and dirty face, you can tell that he has experienced it.

When Lao Geng arrived at the military camp, Marquis Dingyuan was watching his son running on the training ground.

Seeing his son's body shaking, Wen Zhong frowned even more tightly.

How could he have given birth to such a spoiled, greedy, good-for-nothing kid? !

Hearing that Lao Geng was coming, he asked someone to bring Lao Geng in.

"General."

Lao Geng saluted him first.

Wen Zhong hurriedly supported the man:

"Old Geng, don't be so distant. Why did you suddenly come to see me? Have you thought it through and plan to return to the barracks?"

Lao Geng quickly shook his head:

"No, no, no. General, you misunderstood. I am here to deliver a letter to you."

Go back to the military camp and be ordered around?

Let this old man go!

Now he just wants to enjoy his old age leisurely!
