Although he was still anxious at this moment, his expression had calmed down a lot and he was no longer as panicked as before.
As he strode out, he asked, "How is the lady?"
The little maid swallowed and stammered, "Madam... Madam is fine."
The loyal and brave marquis paused, his face puzzled, and asked, "You said the madam is not ill?"
The little maid nodded.
Zhou Yonghou frowned and asked again, "What exactly is it? Please tell me in detail."
The little maidservant was frightened by the Marquis's ferocious appearance, but she was a frequent servant in Minghua Hall and knew that the Marquis was always kind to his servants, so she calmed down.
She reported to the Marquis, "Madam is fine. It was my cousin Lu who suddenly fell ill in the middle of the night. Madam Sang sent me to ask you to come over."
"Have you sent for the doctor?"
When Marquis Zhongyong heard that his wife was fine, he felt relieved. Then he heard that the girl from the Lu family had suddenly fallen ill, so he asked the maid.
The little maid nodded. "Yes, yes. Before I came here, Madam had already sent for the doctor."
Upon hearing this, the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery pondered for a moment before continuing, "Then I'll return to Minghua Hall and wait for Madam. You go and report this to Madam, and let her handle it. After all, it's not appropriate for me, as an elder, to enter a young woman's courtyard."
"Yes, my lord." The little maid accepted the order and was about to turn around and leave.
"and many more."
The Marquis of Zhongyong seemed to recall something and called to the maid. "If you truly need someone to look after you, Minghua Hall is quite far from Qiuli Courtyard, while the Crown Prince's courtyard is closer. If Madam is undecided, please send someone to find the Crown Prince first, and then send someone to find me."
Upon hearing this, the little maid replied, "Yes."
Marquis Zhongyong waved his hand, signaling her to do it quickly.
She bowed and then ran away as fast as the wind.
Watching the little maid run away, Marquis Zhongyong turned and walked into the yard.
Manager Zhang had already stood up at this time, stroking his neck and grinning as he looked at him.
Seeing him like this, Zhong Yonghou couldn't help but laugh out loud. He said with a smile, "I'm wrong about this." "Okay, go back to your room and rest. You don't have to follow me."
Seeing that his own Lord could still laugh at him, Zhang Guanshi could not help but feel even more resentful, but he still did not dare to refute, "Yes."
Marquis Zhongyong looked at him and nodded, then stopped laughing at him. He turned around, flicked his sleeves, and strode towards Minghua Hall.

At Changqing Courtyard, Ye Yunzhou has been avoiding Luo Shuiyao today.
The proud Ye Shizi had never lost face in front of others, let alone in front of the person he loved, which made him feel even more ashamed.
Although they lived in the same mansion, he still couldn't see the person he wanted to see often.
Lying on the roof, Ye Yunzhou stared at the stars in the sky without any sleepiness.
When he heard a noise in the distant yard, he sat up, jumped off the roof, and rushed towards the source of the noise.
After arriving, he found that Chunhua Courtyard was quiet and there was no problem, so he breathed a sigh of relief.
Then he turned his gaze towards Qiuliyuan, and could only vaguely hear the maid shouting something like "Miss, you can't do that."
He thought about it, but didn't go forward. He just stood there and watched from a distance.
Luo Shuiyao waited in the yard for a while before Aunt Zhang walked in from outside with a serious look on her face. Seeing her expression, Luo Shuiyao lowered her eyes slightly so that no one could see her expression.
Nanny Zhang came in, bowed, and said, "Miss, I've learned everything. Miss Lu has suddenly fallen ill for some reason. She's broken out in a rash all over her body, and her face is extremely swollen. I only heard some of it at the door, so I don't know the details."
When Chuntao heard this, she quietly glanced at Luo Shuiyao without making a sound. Thinking of what her mistress had asked her to do, she felt more and more that this matter seemed to be closely related to her mistress.
Realizing that Chuntao was looking at her, Luo Shuiyao looked up and her gaze met Chuntao's. She could also see the doubt in her eyes.
Luo Shuiyao blinked and smiled at her, looking extremely innocent.
Chuntao quickly withdrew her gaze and thought to herself: No matter whether this matter has anything to do with the young lady, it doesn't matter as long as I, Chuntao, bite her to death.
No one except Zhuangzi noticed their interaction. After Aunt Zhang finished speaking, Luo Shuiyao immediately changed her expression to one of worry and asked, "Is it that serious? Let's go check it out now."
When Luo Shuiyao brought Chun Xing and Nanny Zhang to Qiuliyuan, they saw that the door of Qiuliyuan was wide open, the people in the yard were in chaos, and the sound of Lu Zhaozhao crying could be heard from the room.
Luo Shuiyao raised her eyebrows slightly, but still maintained a worried look as she walked into Qiuli Courtyard. A maid saw her and hurried forward to greet her: "Miss Luo, my young lady is not feeling well and cannot entertain you. I hope you don't come near."
The maid also mustered up the courage to step forward to stop them. She knew that her mistress hated this cousin Miss Luo extremely. At this moment, the mistress was sick and couldn't take care of herself. If she knew later that she had failed to stop cousin Miss Luo from going in to laugh at her, then she would definitely not end up well.
Luo Shuiyao didn't intend to argue with a little maid, so she just nodded. "Okay, I'll wait outside. If you need anything, please don't hesitate."
The maid breathed a sigh of relief and bowed again, "Thank you, Miss Luo."
Luo Shuiyao took Nanny Zhang and Chun Xing out of the yard, but they didn't go far. They stood at the main gate of Qiuli Courtyard.
Chun Xing suppressed her anger, and only after she saw the maid leave did she grumble, "Miss, the servants in Qiuli Courtyard are just like her young lady, arrogant and ignorant of etiquette."
Luo Shuiyao smiled when she heard this, "Alright. Don't talk about the master behind his back. If the lady hears, I can't protect you."
Upon hearing this, Chun Xing shut her mouth in disappointment and dared only to mutter silently in her heart.
Luo Shuiyao didn't take it to heart at all. She came to Qiuliyuan just for show and didn't want to have any conflict with Lu Zhaozhao.
If she stayed quietly in her own courtyard, the Marquis's wife would think she was disrespectful if she found out about it later.
She was only separated from the Qiuli Courtyard by a wall, so it would be unreasonable for her to say she didn't hear it. Now that she had made such a gesture, she thought that even if the Marquis knew, she wouldn't say anything more.
Not far from them, Ye Yunzhou watched this scene, his expression becoming even colder.
The people in Qiuliyuan really follow the example of their superiors.
The Lu family really doesn't know how to educate their servants. He had just seen Luo Shuiyao clearly walk into the yard, but was stopped and driven out by the maid. Anger suddenly surged in his heart. He lifted the corner of his robe and walked quickly towards the master and servants standing alone at the door.
Luo Shuiyao stood at the door, looking into Qiuli Courtyard with seeming worry, but in fact her eyes were empty and her thoughts were drifting to who knows where.
