  Chapter 182 Punish a dead horse with caution (4)

Xuan Yin sat on the bed, put her on his lap, and hugged her like a baby. She was too hot. For Xuan Yin who was afraid of the heat and took an ice bath even in winter, this temperature was almost can kill him. Xuanyin's body began to sweat, first on his forehead, then on his back, and finally, there was no dry place. There was a piercing pain in his heart, if what he expected was correct, it should be a precursor to the awakening of Gu worms.

  Damn it, if I knew it earlier, I wouldn't have thrown away the medicine Xuan Yu gave him!

  Ning Yue clung to his body and hugged his neck with both hands, for fear that if the piece of driftwood escaped, she would drown in the deep sea.

  Dongba suddenly remembered the warning of the eldest master, not to let the fourth master get close to things that are too hot, any temperature exceeding the human body will easily wake up the Gu worms. Miss San burned like this... Dong Ba turned pale, knocked on the door, and said anxiously: "Master, come out and let Dongmei in!"

   Xuanyin kissed her forehead lightly: "Do you want Dongmei to come in?"

  Ning Yue shook her head in a daze.

  He smiled lightly and hugged her tightly: "Okay, I won't leave."

  Ning Yue gradually settled down, and fell asleep in his arms, holding his thumb with her little hand, which made him laugh for a long time.

   This night, Ning Yue burned repeatedly, but Xuan Yin didn't go anywhere, just hugged her and sat there all night until dawn.

   It took three days for Ning Yue to completely get rid of the high fever. In these three days, she was almost awake for half a day and burned for half a day. Even the imperial physician was surprised by such fierce symptoms. Fortunately, her condition was under control. On the morning of the fourth day, she got out of bed refreshed.

  Tangli Courtyard returned to its former tranquility, but Ma Ningxin's room was brightly lit. On the one hand, Niuniu had a severe fever and couldn't sleep well; on the other hand, she was waiting for news.

  In the middle of the night, Lian'er lifted the curtain and came in, followed by a thin and small maidservant behind her.

  If Lin Yonghe was here, he would definitely recognize that this was one of the only two maidservants beside her who were not let go by the old lady, and the other one who was not let go was Luzhu. But Luzhu and Lin Yonghe had been together for too long, so it was not easy to bribe her, so Ma Ningxin fell in love with this little maid.

Ma Ningxin gave Lian'er a wink, Lian'er put the latch on the door, and said to the little maid: "You can answer whatever you ask, don't hide anything, and don't worry about it. Since the young lady dares to look for you, I will I figured out a way to keep you."

  The little maid lowered her head and did not speak.

   Ma Ningxin gestured.

   Lian'er took out a one hundred tael bank note from the box: "How much is your monthly payment? It's less than two taels, how many months do you have to earn to earn one hundred taels?"

  The little maid bit her lip.

   Ma Ningxin was anxious, and nodded to Lian'er.

Lian'er took out another bank note, but the little maid was still unmoved by it, Ma Ningxin slapped the table directly: "Five hundred taels! You took the money, and I will let you out of the house! From now on, the sea and the sky will be brighter, and you will never have to go back Come to Beijing!"

  If it were Ning Yue, she wouldn't need to pay a penny, and she could tell the whole story of the little maid just by torturing her. But with Ma Ningxin's temperament, she couldn't do such a cruel thing, so she had to buy her off.

  The little girl thought that five hundred taels would be enough to be a small landlord in the countryside, so she immediately knelt down and said, "Miss, please, this servant will know everything!"

  Ma Ningxin said seriously: "Let me ask you, is Aunt Lin's leg completely healed?"

  The little girl shook her head: "That's not true, I can only walk a little bit, and it's not enough to walk too much."

  Ma Ningxin pondered for a moment, then asked: "Then... what happened to that girl? Where did she come from as a doctor?"
