Chapter 188 - 188 Rushing Joy
188 Rushing Joy
As soon as she fell asleep, she fell into a deep sleep. She wished she could sleep until the end of time…
When she opened her eyes again and saw the familiar sky-blue bed canopy above, she realized that she had returned to Yuheng Garden.
Feeling a heavy weight on her chest, she looked down and saw the calico cat lying on the brocade blanket with its green cat eyes fixated on her.
“Meow—”
The calico cat yawned lazily, its white beard trembling slightly. In the next moment, a petite figure rushed in from the outside.
“My Lady!”
A brocade curtain embroidered with a cat playing with a peony was roughly beaten up and brushed down, swaying in midair.
Juan Bi heard the commotion and rushed to Gu Yanfei’s bed in one breath. Her face was filled with anxiety as she said anxiously,
“You’re finally awake. I was really worried. You’ve been sleeping for three days and three nights!”
“Grumble…”
As if to verify Juan Bi’s words, the sound of hungry stomachs came from below, where the calico cat was squatting.
Gu Yanfei and the calico cat on top of her stared at each other. The cat meowed softly and licked its right front paw. Its mocking tone seemed to be saying, ‘It’s not me!’
“… No wonder I’m hungry.” Gu Yanfei grabbed the back of the cat’s neck with one hand and lifted it up. At the same time, she sat up.
As soon as the kitten, which was about four months old, was pinched in the vitals, it revealed its dumbfounded look again, its claws spreading into pink plum blossoms in midair.
Hearing Gu Yanfei say that she was hungry, Juan Bi hurriedly shouted outside and asked someone to quickly get food.
There was a small kitchen in Yuheng Garden with a stove and stove. Over the past few days, the porridge and chicken soup had been kept warm on the stove, thinking that they would be ready to eat when the girl woke up.
Soon, the maidservant handed in a bowl of shredded chicken porridge and handed it to Gu Yanfei. Gu Yanfei was not in a hurry to wash up and change her clothes, so she sat at the table by the window and ate first.
After eating a bowl of porridge, she was still not satisfied. She asked for another bowl of steaming chicken soup noodles and finished all the noodles and soup before feeling more comfortable.
While she was eating, the cat’s mouth never stopped either. It basked in the light and ate some boiled chicken shreds.
Juan Bi served at the side. As she tore chicken shreds for the cat, she rambled on about the past three days.
“Miss, after you fell asleep in the manor that day, we thought that you were just tired and were momentarily exhausted, so I carried you to the couch to rest. Unexpectedly, the next morning, you still didn’t wake up. This worried the Eldest Young Master so much that Granny Pang almost pinched you.”
“Afraid that you’re sick, the Eldest Young Master quickly sent a car to send you back to the capital. In the past two days, not only has he invited several doctors from the capital, but he has also specially invited the imperial physician to the Marquis Mansion to take your pulse…”
Gu Yanfei finished the last mouthful of chicken soup. When she put down the spoon, she asked casually, “What did the imperial physician say?”
Juan Bi tried her best to recall the imperial physician’s genteel words and answered truthfully, “The imperial physician said that you’re mentally and physically exhausted and have lost your vital energy. You’re also devoid of yin and yang, causing your exhaustion… You have to recuperate well these few days and can’t work too hard.”
Gu Yanfei wiped her mouth with a handkerchief and picked up the teacup before the cat could reach its claws into it.
Amidst the cat’s dissatisfied meow, she took two leisurely sips of tea.
Seeing this harmonious scene, Juan Bi’s face lit up with a silly smile again. The anxiety of the past few days had been swept away, and only then did she feel that everything was normal.
Gu Yanfei took two more sips of tea before giving the teacup to the cat. At the same time, she asked, “Big Brother…”
Before she could finish her sentence, the maidservant’s clear voice sounded outside the curtain. “Miss, the Eldest Lady is here to visit you!”
“Big Sister is back?” Gu Yanfei raised her eyebrows and her eyes lit up.
A few days ago, Gu Yunzhen’s maternal grandmother held a birthday banquet and brought Third Madam Yan and Gu Yunzhen to the Yan family to stay for a while.
“The Eldest Lady returned yesterday. As soon as she returned to the residence, she came to Yuheng Garden to see you.”
As Juan Bi spoke, her hands did not stop. She tidied Gu Yanfei’s hair slightly and skillfully tied her black hair behind her head with a headband before putting a cloak on her.
After a while, Gu Yunzhen arrived leisurely.
She was wearing an aqua-green embroidered green collared jacket with green plum branches, matched with a green plum bamboo skirt. The well-tailored jacket made her figure look exquisite.
