Quickly travel to save the cannon fodder? No, I will just flip the table

Xiao Yuanhuai laughed briefly, and no other sound came out after that. In the darkness, only his eyes were shining, the corners of his mouth were grinning wider and wider, and he was laughing silently and madly. After a while, his smile disappeared and he couldn't help covering his face with his hands, and tears flowed out.

……

It seemed like a long time had passed before he calmed down. He slowly lay back on the bed, eyes open, staring at the ceiling.

It was not until the sky outside began to brighten, around 12:00 a.m., that someone pushed the door open, stopped outside the inner door, and asked in a low voice, "Is the young master awake?"

This is Wang Er, the servant assigned to him by Madam Xiao after his mother left. He is supposed to monitor him. He is not a bad person, but he is not someone he can be approached with either.

Xiao Yuanhuai responded calmly, just like he did in his previous life, and the other party continued to walk in: "Master, are you going to get up? It's almost Mao time."

Xiao Yuanhuai thought for a moment, frowned and asked, "What day is it today?"

Wang Er understood and thought that he was just dreaming, so he added, "Today is the 15th day of June." He then prepared clothes for him and placed them on the round stool in front of the bed.

Xiao Yuanhuai stood up and nodded to show that he understood. Without further delay, he dressed and washed up, then went out to the main house to pay his respects to the elders of the Xiao Mansion.

The country of Dalin values ​​filial piety, and ordinary people usually visit their parents every morning and evening. However, there are many people in a family like theirs, and the old couple of the Xiao family are still alive, so they have not divided the family. There are three legitimate masters in the mansion, the eldest is Xiao Zhen;

There is also a direct aunt, the late Lu Qianqian's mother;

As for the other illegitimate sons and daughters of this generation, they were separated once they got married, and they didn’t have to come during any festivals.

The three masters naturally had many children. For example, Prime Minister Xiao had one legitimate son, three illegitimate sons and five illegitimate daughters; the other two masters also had many children.

Thus, there was a large and lively group of people, and now there was also Lu Qianqian who came to seek refuge...

However, ever since Old Master Xiao retired, the old couple were tired of seeing so much noise every morning and evening, so they decided to allow everyone to come and pay their respects on the first and fifteenth day of each month, as well as at the end of the month and other important days. On weekdays, only their close sons and daughters would be allowed into the courtyard.

Moreover, even on the day when everyone went to pay their respects, illegitimate sons and daughters like Xiao Yuanhuai could not easily enter the house. They would just arrive, bow in the yard, listen to a few words of admonition, feel the harmony inside, and then leave.

Since his mother passed away, Xiao Yuanhuai was happy to be like this. He usually hid far behind others, coming and leaving silently.

Walking on the way to the main house, Xiao Yuanhuai was still wondering if anything had happened recently. It had been less than a year and a month since that incident, so he had to think about it carefully.

But, the 15th of June? It seems that the poor man has just arrived at the Prime Minister's Mansion not long ago, so recently it should be...

On the other hand, early in the morning, someone came to Lu Qianqian's yard to invite her. It was a nanny by Madam Xiao's side, named Zhang, and a little maid. They said that it was a big day for the whole family to pay respects to the old master and the old lady, and they also invited my cousin to come over.

Qianqian... my goodness, yesterday Xiao Yuanchang asked her to go boating in the lake despite her sick body, and today her mother asked her to go to pay respects to others despite her broken body??? They are indeed a mother and son.

Qianqian suddenly coughed a few times, and after finally stopping, she asked Li Ma to help her get up and wash up. However, she struggled for half an incense stick and was still lying on the bed. She started coughing when she got up, and she was about to fall down when she coughed. Then she had to rest, and then do it again...

The maid who came to deliver the message was stunned. Was the cousin about to die? Thinking of this, she couldn't help but take two steps back to the door.

Nanny Zhang was also a little nervous. She just went to lend a hand and saw that her cousin's hands were full of cold sweat, which made her feel a little cold inside.

Ahem, actually, when Ye'er was passing the message at the door at the beginning, Qianqian felt something was wrong, so she asked Li Ma to prepare a towel dipped in cold water for her, and she had already wrapped her hands with it.

Nanny Li felt sorry for her during her illness and remembered clearly what happened to Young Master Xiao yesterday, so she indulged her.

At this time, Madam Li was still choking up and said, "Madam Zhang, what should we do? My young lady is looking like this... I'm afraid she will miss the time to pay her respects. And with this cough, what if it spreads to the old master and the old lady? And we just asked a doctor to see her yesterday, and the doctor said she needs to rest, otherwise she might get sick."

Nanny Zhang agreed, so she had no choice but to report back first.

Qianqian continued to speak intermittently, "I'm really sorry. When I feel better, I will go and kowtow to all the elders in the mansion." She also called Nanny Li to go with her and help her apologize to the elders.

Madam Xiao waited for a long time but no one came. Instead, she received Li Ma's apology. The people around her also reported that she was too sick to get up, and that she couldn't be allowed to enter the room because she was coughing like that. So she turned around and looked at her son.

Xiao Yuanchang nodded and said that he was indeed not feeling well when he saw her yesterday and fainted after a while.

Madam Xiao was helpless. She didn't mean to ask Lu Qianqian to come and pay her respects today. She just wanted to use this as an excuse to propose holding a summer banquet in the mansion, so that she could help her son and Yin Yin's marriage, and also slightly offset some of the kindness of the Prime Minister's Mansion in taking her in.

Who would have thought that this man was so useless. He had been ill for the past few days and was still not getting better. However, in front of everyone, he still asked someone to send some medicinal herbs and supplements for Nanny Li to take back.

What happened in the room was not hidden, so naturally everyone in the yard knew about it. Xiao Yuanhuai was a little surprised when he heard people whispering about this cousin. This was different from his previous life.

Although he didn't pay much attention to it at that time, he vaguely remembered that there was a rumor in the mansion that Master Xiao and his cousin went boating on the lake, and it seemed to be very exciting. Master Xiao was very special to his cousin...

How did he end up being so sick that he couldn't get out of bed, and also offended Young Master Xiao?

He was puzzled, but after all, he did not have a deep impression of this matter in his previous life, so he thought he remembered it wrongly and put it aside. The most important thing was what happened one year and one month later!

But thinking about that poor person, thinking of the last time I saw her, and thinking of myself, a long-lost sense of sympathy arose in my heart. Since I knew she was sick, I might as well go and see her. After all, she is my cousin now!

Qianqian over there was also sighing, this disease will eventually get better, she has to face it, it's only been two days and there's a new problem every day, it's never peaceful, and she can't just start over, alas!

Qianqian couldn't help but ask the system: "System, is there any good solution?"

The system did not answer this question, but said in a strange tone: "Host, someone is here to see you!"

Qianqian shuddered and felt like she was going to have visitor stress syndrome. She couldn't stand coughing again, so she asked weakly, "Who is it again?"

"Your future adulterer..."

"..."
