Chapter 428 So close but still so far away
It turns out that when she really smiled, she was so beautiful.
Zhang Gui was stunned, and was also stunned by Miss Su Er's indifferent smile. He looked at her dullly, watching her take the sachet from his hand. At that moment, her plain hands accidentally brushed past his coarse cloth clothes. It was obvious that this was just a small move, but it made him unconsciously hold his breath and his heart beat faster.
Once again, standing in front of her so close, so close.
But it's still that far.
"It's rare that you have the will."
The cold voice came again, with a little softness and a little fatigue that she had never concealed for days. She picked up the sachet and put it on the tip of her nose and smelled it. Then she leaned over to the railing and thanked him unsuspectedly.
The woman closed her eyes and smiled slightly, her eyebrows still frowned, as if she was worried.
But such a real and fragile Miss Su Er was something that Zhang Gui had never seen before.
After being stunned, Zhang Gui suddenly realized his identity at the moment. How could a humble servant look at his second lady boldly? He hurriedly bowed clumsyly, lowered his head, and replied, "I heard from Mr. Fan mentioning that the second lady was seasick, so I went to ask Mr. Lin for a prescription when I was at the Lin family. I crushed the herbs to cure seasickness into foam and put it in my sachet. I thought, in this way, if the second lady wanted to take a boat again in the future, I would not be afraid."
I don’t know whether Zhang Gui was nervous when he saw Miss Su Er or Zhang Gui didn’t know how to serve his master. When he talked to Miss Su Er, he would subconsciously lower his voice a little bit. This panicked and inappropriate response would inevitably make Miss Su Er feel a little confused.
Su Jinxin is smart and alert. It is difficult to deceive her. Zhang Gui himself knows this more than anyone else. Therefore, he did not intend to deceive her. He told her everything she asked. So, Su Jinxin asked several questions with tentativeness. Apart from the initial nervousness, Zhang Gui did not ask Su Jinxin to pick out any problems. As for Su Jinxin’s questions, Zhang Gui would tell her everything, and if he didn’t know, he would just say that he didn’t know. In the end, Su Jinxin naturally beat her.
After relieving the doubts in his heart, he laughed at himself for being too careless and making a fuss. Of course, this cannot be blamed on Su Jinxin. If it were the maid and maid who usually served her, Su Jinxin would not need to ask much, but Zhang Gui, a servant, didn't care much about it on weekdays. At this moment, he suddenly jumped out and said that he was willing to share the hardships with the Su family. How could Su Jinxin not doubt his other intentions? Fortunately, she said a few words to Zhang Gui and saw that this person was honest and honest, not like a villain who was good at catering to her, so she felt relieved.
"So that's the case. Thank you for your worries." Su Jinxin smiled slightly and thanked Zhang Gui, but as soon as she finished speaking, a nausea appeared in her throat. She hurriedly covered her mouth and started to retching.
vomit……
With one hand holding the railing and the other hand touching the chest, Su Jinxin retching and his face turned pale.
"Miss Second, are you okay?" Zhang Gui changed his color in panic and wanted to reach out to help him, but he was worried and could only worry about it.
"It's okay." Unexpectedly, the seasickness this time was even worse. Su Jinxin vomited until her face turned white as paper, and her head began to become drowsy. There have been too many things in recent days. After that, she never could sleep peacefully for a day. Even if she fell asleep, she would wake up in the middle of the night. In the nightmare, she saw that she was criticized by thousands of people. The people in Lin'an called her unfaithful manner, and her cousin seduced her cousin to do incest, and even called her shameless, and it was time to tie the stones to sink into the pond... Thinking of this, Su Jinxin's chest hurt again, and then her abdomen became more and more uncomfortable, like fire.
My body shook, and my hands on the railings also relaxed a little.
"Miss Second, be careful." A pair of powerful hands held her in a hurry, cautiously for fear of blaspheming her.
Seeing Su Jinxin looking at him, Zhang Gui hurriedly withdrew his hand, "I'm over the rules."
"Get back, there's nothing to do with you here." No matter what, she is also the second lady of the Su family. How could a servant see her so embarrassed? Su Jinxin turned cold, "You are loyal to me, I am very pleased, but you have to remember that you are just a servant!"
After scolding for a long time, seeing that Zhang Gui was still standing foolishly, Su Jinxin suddenly smashed the sachet in his hand towards Zhang Gui's face, "Get down!"
This second Miss Su is too difficult to serve. She changes her face when she says she changes her face. She is really moody. It is the first time that Zhang Gui has grown up to be so old. Although there is still no change in his face, he sighs helplessly. Only he can tolerate such a bad temper.
"Yes, Miss Second." Su Jinxin's face was so pale that Zhang Gui didn't dare to stimulate her, so he hurriedly bowed and said with a leave.
Shortly after Zhang Gui left, Qiaolan hurried over, held Su Jinxin and said worriedly, "Miss Second, could it be that the medicine you took recently had a problem?"
The best Chuzhou white lotus is an extremely expensive tonic medicine. Zheng Xueying took ordinary Chuzhou white lotus and was miscarried, not to mention the best Chuzhou white lotus with the strongest medicinal effect. However, the prescription for this antidote was given to her by Lin Zhaoyun, so there should be no problem. Su Jinxin stroked her chest and retching for a while, and almost vomited the sour water and bitter gallbladder in her abdomen, but she was still feeling uncomfortable.
"Since she has been drunk, there is no reason to give up halfway. It may be a temporary discomfort, don't worry." The Su family was convicted. She was a daughter of a fugitive prisoner who returned to Lin'an and was easily recognized. If she recovered her appearance and entered Lin'an with another identity, she would have the opportunity to help the Su family escape this disaster. Su Jinxin was completely powerless and could only rely on Qiaolan, "Help me in and lie down for a while."
Qiaolan helped Su Jinxin and walked a few steps, but stopped talking, "Miss Second, did you scold Uncle Zhang just now? I once heard people in the mansion say that Uncle Zhang is very honest, unlike Aunt Zhang, who is snobbish and sarcastic." For some reason, Miss Second, her temper has indeed been a bit unpredictable in the past few days. Although it was difficult for people to get close to, she rarely scolded her servants, but today she even scolded someone as honest as Uncle Zhang. Alas, it may be that the death of Young Master Cousin could not be accepted by the Second Miss, so she changed her temperament.
"Zhang Gui complained to you, and I want you to plead for him?" Su Jinxin looked angry. It was probably because Zhang Gui ran to Qiaolan to tell him that Qiaolan was so timely.
"No, no, Uncle Zhang is not such a person." Qiaolan hurriedly explained, "Miss Second, you may have misunderstood Uncle Zhang. He is a good person."
Qiaolan's ears are soft, and Su Jinxin said angrily, "I know people and face but not my heart. How do you know how much hidden under his face?"
The second lady said it was right, but Uncle Zhang didn't look like a bad person either. Qiaolan thought about it and nodded obediently and said, "Yes, yes, I know I'm wrong."
