Soft and crispy waist

As a concubine, you serve your master in everything.

Taking the blame is also one of the responsibilities.

Taking a deep breath, Xia Zheng quickly adjusted her posture, snuggling close to Gu Yizi's arms, holding the pen properly, her small hand curled up in the big hand with slightly calloused hands, her eyes staring intently at the newly changed pages of paper.

She didn't notice that the moment she moved, Gu Yizi's stiff back quickly bent backwards.

But such a distance cannot be completely avoided, and clothes are thin in summer. Her body temperature and the fragrance of jasmine come to you, making your heart flutter.

If she hadn't looked confused when she looked up, Gu Yizi would have doubted her thoughts again.

Restraining that bit of charm, Gu Yizi focused on guiding her hand to copy the words on her scribbles, stroke by stroke.

"Madam, you can see that the young master is busy. I dare not disturb him. If you are not afraid, you can do as you please." Changfeng shrugged and took a step back, indicating that Madam Wang could go ahead without any hindrance.

But Nanny Wang didn't dare to take another step.

Having a beautiful woman by your side is a gentle and thoughtful thing, and she didn't have the tact to disturb him. Moreover, Xia Zheng was favored from the moment she came, and now she could enter the study to serve, which showed that she was very important to the young master. If she confronted her head-on and was blamed, she would be killed by a few beatings.

Helpless, she could only go back and report it first.

When the footsteps disappeared, the recipe was copied.

Gu Yizhi loosened his grip, but before Xia Zheng could breathe a sigh of relief, he heard, "Your hands are weak, and your writing is limp. You need more practice. Write this recipe fifty times, and I'll check it after you're done."

Fifty times!

Xia Zheng's brows were furrowed in resentment, and she pursed her lips, not daring to refuse. She could only take the paper and pen and ink that Gu Yizi had placed on the table, and walked to the small table with difficulty to copy it with ink.

Seeing her pitiful look of being angry but not daring to speak, Gu Yizi inexplicably felt much better. The crystal bowl cake seemed to be more delicious, and the bayberry wine was more refreshing.

When she had copied it for the fortieth time, Xia Zheng couldn't help but go to the toilet. When she came back, Wei Qingqing was walking quickly towards her with Nanny Wang.

When she saw her, Wei Qingqing's eyes were like two pillars of fire, and she wished she could burn her to death immediately.

Xia Zheng, however, bowed politely.

Too lazy to look at her any longer, Wei Qingqing said unhappily to Changfeng who came to block her way: "I'm here to serve soup to the young master."

"Let me go and report it."

Changfeng immediately turned around to report, and came out a moment later, saying with an apologetic smile: "Master is tired today, I will take it in for Madam."

She knew that he didn't want to see her at all, but when she saw Xia Zheng had already stepped into the room, her anger immediately flared up. She opened her mouth to say something, but Nanny Wang hurriedly whispered, "Madam, please don't shout. The young master hates you being like this the most. Don't give the young lady an excuse. Since the young master is tired today, let's go back first."

Nanny Wang could see that Gu Yizi had lost his patience.

Wei Qingqing kept asking for favors, and she had tried to dissuade her, but Wei Qingqing wouldn't listen. Relying on her elder brother's power, she refused to stop after asking Gu Yizi once or twice. She didn't understand that there's always time to come, and a short separation is better than a new marriage.

Such domineering behavior, if it was the person that Gu Yizi loved the most, it would be understandable that Gu Yizi was blinded by her lust, but Gu Yizi was a man who read the books of sages and cared the most about the clan rules and regulations, and restrained himself and restored propriety. What's more, Wei Qingqing was not his favorite person. All the people in this mansion were just nominal figures, and Gu Yizi also acted according to their names.

If you keep making trouble, you will only get bored.

Wei Qingqing did not completely understand. If Xia Zheng was not there today, it would be fine, but since Xia Zheng was there, she just would not accept it.

She is just a fire-making maid, picked by that fake Guanyin Tao Yurong, how could she enter the study!

"This soup must be drunk while it's hot. Take it inside. I'll wait here."

Knowing that this young lady was stubborn, Changfeng said nothing and just went inside with the food box.

Xia Zheng followed behind, and when she returned to the small table, Gu Yizi, who was sitting on the Arhat couch, was already facing Changfeng with his palms facing up.

Changfeng understood and immediately opened the food box and took out the soup.

As soon as she opened the lid, Xia Zheng smelled the rich aroma of fermented glutinous rice, which was a sweet soup made from fermented glutinous rice.

What a coincidence.

While Xia Zheng was secretly thinking, Gu Yizi had already tasted it.

I don’t know if it was because I had eaten the bowl of cake first, or because I had been used to eating the food made by Xia Zheng recently, but this sweet soup was a little hard to swallow. I reluctantly took two more bites and then handed it back to Changfeng.

Changfeng took the food box out together, and then he heard the snorting and angry footsteps gradually fading away.

"Have you finished copying? You're just getting distracted."

Xia Zhengru was like a student caught by her teacher, so she lowered her head and continued writing furiously.

Gu Yizi stood up and wanted to go over to check on her writing, but he hadn't taken two steps when he felt a sharp pain in his abdomen. Realizing something was wrong, he quickly rushed out of the study.

Xia Zheng carefully wiped the cold sweat from her forehead, thinking that Wei Qingqing's wine was too pure and rich, and it worked so quickly. I'm afraid she won't be able to rest tonight.

The combination of yam and fermented glutinous rice is a natural laxative.

This was also the method she had originally planned to use to keep Gu Yizi. After all, she couldn't tease him, so if she wanted to keep him, she could only do it in a way that would not hurt these useless people.

However, she had originally added wine-fermented duck to her dinner. The portion was not large, so it would only be enough for two or three bowel movements. When she realized that Gu Yizi was using her as a shield and didn't want to go to Wei Qingqing's place, she quietly took this dish off the list under the pretext of going to the toilet. Unexpectedly, Wei Qingqing happened to bring this sweet soup.

Fearing that Gu Yizi would discover her little conspiracy, Xia Zheng hurriedly copied the last few articles, found an excuse, and hid back in the small kitchen.

The news of Gu Yizi's abdominal colic was quickly transmitted to Fanghua Courtyard by the doctor. Wei Qingqing had just picked up the chopsticks and had not yet moved when someone came to tell her that her sweet soup caused Gu Yizi's abdominal colic. The cook beat him with ten boards and drove him out of the house. She was confined to her room for ten days and copied the Lotus Sutra thirty times to pray for Gu Yizi.

Wei Qingqing was so angry that she threw her chopsticks to the ground. "Bitch! It must be that bitch who did this!"

……

After Wei Qingqing was confined to her house, Fanghua Courtyard became much quieter, with only Xia Zheng and Aunt Huan coming to pay their respects every day.

Aunt Huan was also a person of few words. She basically just showed up, said a few words to the young lady, and then left. Today was no exception. She left early. Xia Zheng was about to follow her, but the young lady stopped her.

"Has the young master asked you to serve him recently?"

Xia Zheng shook her head truthfully.

"You have to pay more attention. The Wei family is under house arrest now, so you have to hurry up. I will only promote you after the Xue family's daughter comes into the family. Do you understand?"

"I understand. I will do my best."

As soon as she finished speaking, Caiwei brought over a bowl of dark brown medicinal juice.

"Drink it."

Xia Zheng understood that most wealthy families would not allow illegitimate children to be born before the legitimate son was born. It was different for a concubine of status like Wei Qingqing, and she, a concubine, naturally could not get pregnant before her master.

Without hesitation, he picked up the medicine bowl and drank the bitter liquid in one gulp. "Thank you, Madam, for your reward."
