After eating for a while, someone in Zhao's house suddenly said that Chen Sirui had a high fever.
Mrs. Zhao was so anxious that she burst into tears, said something to Mrs. Chen and hurried back.
Looking at Mrs. Zhao's panicked back, Mrs. Chen sighed with emotion: "Sister Rui is really in trouble. It would be great if Master Yuanguang is still in the capital. You can invite her to come and have a look."
Hearing the name of Master Yuanguang, Fu Zhao's eyebrows moved.
Presumably Master Yuanguang will not return to the capital again.
Fu Zhao picked up the serving chopsticks and gave Chen Yayun a piece of fish.
This child is timid, and her maid is also timid and does not dare to pick up vegetables that are a little further away.
So until now during the banquet, Chen Yayun only dared to eat the dish closest to her.
Chen Yayun was stunned for a moment, then raised her head and smiled gratefully at Fu Zhao.
He glanced at Fu Zhao and said hypocritically in his heart.
Yin Xiang did not know how to hold a child. After holding her for a while, the child felt uncomfortable and started to cry.
When he was in Yueji's house, the child's cry was loud and clear, but now his cry was as soft and soft as a cat's.
He was irritated, "Tell him to stop crying!"
After she finished speaking, she saw people around her looking at her in surprise, as if they thought she was too mean to a child who was less than two days old.
He cleared her throat and tried to make her voice gentler, "Coax him, don't make him cry."
Yin Xiang was at a loss by the child's cry. She blushed and said, "I don't know how to coax a child..."
"Then find someone who can coax children!" He raised his voice impatiently.
Yinxiang looked around and saw those people standing with hands tied. Where could she find someone who could coax the child?
Just when she was sweating profusely, a warm voice sounded.
"Let me do it."
Fu Zhao took the swaddling clothes from Yin Xiang's arms and shook them gently.
When Fu Yi was first born, she helped Cong take care of Fu Yi for a while, so she knew some ways to coax the child.
The child who had been crying a moment ago became much quieter when he was in Fu Zhao's arms.
Fu Zhao hummed a soft tune in his mouth, and the child stopped crying and fell asleep again.
But the child seemed to feel insecure. His little hands came out of the swaddling clothes and grabbed Fu Zhao's clothes at the collar.
"He stopped crying." Fu Zhao wanted to hand the child back to Yin Xiang.
But as soon as Yun Xiang's hand touched the swaddle, the baby whimpered twice, and Yun Xiang was so frightened that he retracted his hand.
Fu Zhao had no choice but to sit down with his child in his arms.
"I didn't expect the fifth younger brother and sister to be able to coax the children." Qian said with a smile.
"I don't know how to do it either. I just learned a little by watching how others coax their children." Fu Zhao said modestly.
Qian looked at the baby's pink little face and couldn't help but think of how her two daughters looked when they were just born, so she said enthusiastically: "Let me give you a hug, too."
Fu Zhao then carefully handed over the swaddling clothes.
The child started crying as soon as he got it into Qian's hands.
Fortunately, Ms. Qian knew how to coax the child. After she coaxed her for a while, the child stopped crying.
After Qian's initiative, others came over to look at the child.
There were not many children in the Hou family, and the youngest, Chen Sirui, was weak and sickly. A slight breeze could cause her to fall seriously ill. Therefore, Mrs. Zhao kept Chen Sirui in the house on weekdays and did not let her go out.
Qian's two children came to Qian's side and looked at their little brother curiously.
The older Chen Yaying also came over and looked at it curiously. It turned out that the newborn child was only so small.
Even Mrs. Chen, who had always been indifferent to the child, was aroused and wanted to take a look at the child.
At the moment, only He is still sitting expressionless.
He was secretly relieved. Those people's attention was on the child, and they could temporarily forget about her making a fool of herself last night.
He doesn't say it, but she is actually very sensitive to other people's cold looks.
In order to protect her fragile self-esteem, she hugged the child over as soon as her heart moved.
She didn't care that the child was only two days old and couldn't be exposed to the wind.
Sure enough, these people's attention was attracted by the children.

Ye Xiang waited in the cold wind for a long time, and finally waited for Chen Xin, who was drunk.
Chen Xin came back from outside. He hadn't drunk enough yet and wanted to find some brothers for another drink.
Ye Xiang trotted over quickly.
Chen Xin was startled by the sudden figure. The boy behind him rushed forward, opened his arms to stop the man, and asked loudly: "Which courtyard are you from? Dare you block the third young master's way?"
Ye Xiang was blocked by the young man. She raised her head and said anxiously: "Master, it's me, I'm Ye Xiang! The young master was taken away by the young lady! It's a cold day, just in case the young master catches a cold and gets sick.
But what should I do!"
When he heard that his son was taken away by Mr. He, Chen Xin suddenly woke up.
He took a few steps forward and asked anxiously: "Where did that woman take my son?"
"I should have gone to Madam's place..."
Just as Ye Xiang finished her words, she saw Chen Xin rushing out.
Ye Xiang quickly followed.
Along the way, Chen Xin became increasingly angry.
Mr. He actually dared to take the child away while he was away?
Mr. He is a small-minded person, and it would be very dangerous if the child falls into her hands!
Chen Xin walked quickly, but felt that he was not walking fast enough, so he simply started running.
The servants guarding Mrs. Chen's yard were startled when they saw the third young master running over.
"Third Young Master, please go in and report..."
Chen Xin didn't listen to those people at all and ran directly into the house.
He pushed the door open with both hands, making a loud noise, and followed the cold wind into the house, blowing out several lights in the house.
The female relatives in the room were all frightened.
The child was also frightened and started crying.
The child was now in Mrs. Chen's arms. As soon as he cried, Mrs. Ma took the child over and coaxed her softly.
Chen Xin walked in with a dark face, walked directly to Mr. He, and asked condescendingly in an unkind tone: "Where did you take my son? If he has any shortcomings, I will never spare you!"
He was stunned for a moment.
In front of everyone, Chen Xin didn't give her any face?
He's heart ached, his throat felt sweet, and his chest was filled with nausea.
Mrs. Chen said angrily: "What are you talking about? What can happen if we hold your son in our arms?"
Chen Xin looked over following Mrs. Chen's voice and saw the child in Ma's arms.
Chen Xin was stunned, not expecting such a situation at all.
Madam He brought the child over. The child was fine. Was the child held by Madam Ma?
Mrs. Ma has a good reputation in the Hou family, and Chen Xin respects this sister-in-law from the bottom of his heart.
Chen Xin's anger dissipated a lot, and he said embarrassedly: "Yes...it's not me. I heard the maid say something and rushed over...Is my son okay?"
