"The Warbling of the Oriole" - Chapter 117

Sizhen and Ruying lived next door to each other in two warm rooms not far from the main courtyard of Fu'an Hall. The rooms were similar in layout to the west wing of the guest courtyard of the second house, but because they were the residence of the old Duke and his wife, they were more spacious and bright.
Ru Ying's neighbor used to be An Ru Yun, but now it's Qi Si Zhen.
After what happened to Ru Ying yesterday, she took medicine last night and slept soundly all night. When she opened her eyes in the morning, she looked at the unfamiliar room and was momentarily disoriented.
Moving my body makes my back ache and my legs feel weak; it feels like my whole body has been crushed under a millstone.
"Is the young lady awake?" Hearing the voice, the maid outside the tent came over and lifted the curtain, saying, "Is the young lady about to get up?"
Ru Ying had already remembered that this was the residence of the old matriarch of the Duke's mansion, and she nodded.
The maidservant helped her wash up, gave her food and medicine, and then Sizhen arrived.
Sizhen expected to see a disheveled young woman with red and swollen eyelids from crying, but Ruying, apart from looking a little haggard and pale, showed no signs of dejection.
Last night, after my eldest brother left, my grandmother said that when this Miss An met your eldest brother, she was given both Five-Stone Powder and aphrodisiacs. One thing led to another, but it was all by chance. Could it be the will of God? She is now your eldest brother's woman. He is fond of her and does not want outsiders to know, so he asked you to come and stay with her for a while.
Sizhen was also stunned. What was going on? She knew that her cousin Ruying was quite fond of that young master of the Cen family. She herself thought it was a match made in heaven. With her older brother's interference, not to mention the Duke, even her aunt would have a hard time getting past her. Fortunately, her cousin Ruying wasn't the type to commit suicide. She asked, "Are you alright, sister?"
Seeing that Sizhen looked at her with sympathy and pity, and had no intention of blaming her, Ruying said, "Thank you for coming to keep me company, Sister Sizhen. I've taken the medicine and I feel much better."
For a moment, neither of them knew how to continue the conversation. They were both somewhat cautious.
Sizhen, being an unmarried young woman, naturally had to be discreet about such matters, as mentioning them would hurt Ruying's feelings. Ruying tried to cover it up, as it involved Qi Shixiang. She didn't know how Qi Shixiao had reported to the Old Madam, and she was afraid that revealing too much would expose the truth and ruin Qi Shixiao's plans.
Sizhen asked, "Does my sister have any plans for the future?"
Ru Ying said, "Right now, I need to get my health back on track. Then I'll go back to Anyuan and discuss with my mother the matter of breaking off the engagement with the Cen family."
"My older brother..."
When Ru Ying thought of Qi Shixiao, she couldn't help but recall the absurd scene the two had shared in the study. Her face flushed slightly as she said, "The young master is a good person. He and I didn't want this to happen either."
Sizhen said, "Cousin, let me tell you the truth. I've never seen my elder brother give a second glance to any young lady. Yesterday, my elder brother personally asked me to accompany you. I'm his sister, I know him, he must care about you to do this."
Ru Ying said, "Sister Sizhen, I can't make decisions about these things, so I won't think about them anymore. Sister, please take me to pay my respects to the Old Madam in a little while."
Sizhen said, "You can't get out of bed right now and need to rest for a few more days. The old lady specifically asked me to tell you not to be too formal or reserved, and to relax and focus on getting better."
Ruying didn't go to the Old Madam's place, but Qiuxiang did. She was ordered by Qi Shixiao to visit Ruying at Fu'an Hall, so she first went to pay her respects to the Old Madam.
The old lady accepted her greeting and said, "You are in charge of the affairs of your young master's courtyard. Did you not notice at all the young master's feelings for this Miss An?"
Qiu Xiang respectfully replied, "Reporting to the Old Madam, I only learned of this a few days ago, on the night of the Second Young Master's wedding banquet. The Young Master instructed me to take the half-drunk Miss An back to the guest courtyard."
"In your opinion, what did your young master do to Miss An that night?"
“This servant dares not speak falsely. That night, the young master avoided others and was in a narrow alley behind an old tree with Miss An. When this servant arrived, Miss An was already drunk and unconscious. The young master personally wrapped a cloak around her. Miss An’s dress and cloak were also soiled.”
The old lady didn't ask any further questions, but instead asked, "When did it start?"
Qiu Xiang said, "This servant does not know. Qing Shu said that when Miss An first arrived at our residence, the young master displeased her for some reason. He wanted to give her a hairpin, but she refused. The hairpin on his table has been left unsent for a long time."
The old lady couldn't help but feel a little sad. Her grandson had searched the entire capital but couldn't find such a fine young man. Who would have thought he'd run into a wall with Miss Anyuan?
