As night fell, in the flower hall of the West Crossing Courtyard, Fang Rongru prepared dinner and invited the whole family to gather together for a meal.
Fang Rongru was very grateful to Master Yuan Wu. She had suffered a lot these days because of her hand.
Previously, because she was unhappy and had a bad temper, she didn't like anything, and she didn't even want to get close to her children. Even Xiao Liao just managed to deal with it. Fang Rongru finally felt better and let the servants serve delicious food to the family to celebrate.
The two families finally gathered together for dinner again. Except for Xiao Youduo, who was still in the academy, everyone else was here.
Xiao Youfeng felt much calmer after being beaten. He was really sick because of his bad temper before. Until today, after his father Xiao Liao personally went to his room to have a secret talk with him, he finally solved the knot in his heart and became energetic.
It's much better.
No one mentioned the bad things, everyone worked hard to create a harmonious atmosphere, and laughter could be heard from time to time.
Seeing that she was almost done eating, Fang Rongru's expression suddenly changed drastically, her laughter stopped suddenly, and everyone's eyes fell on her.
"You guys go back and have a rest." Fang Rongru said eagerly.
After the three children left, without waiting for Xiao Liao to ask, Fang Rongru covered her shoulders with pain and panic on her face: "No, my hand is fine. The will-o'-the-wisp is spreading from the shoulder to the body."
"How could that happen?" Xiao Liao stood up suddenly.
"Master, hurry up, find Master Yuan Wu quickly." Fang Rongru endured the pain and said urgently.
Xiao Liao was also anxious: "Where should I find him?"
"Tenryuji Temple."
"It's late at night, and the city gate has been closed. Even if you want to go, you have to go tomorrow." Xiao Liao stepped forward, "You let me take a look first."
"No need to look, it's about here." Fang Rongru raised her hand and gestured at her shoulder blades.
Fang Rongru had seen the wound herself, and it was really scary. She didn't want others to see it, especially Xiao Liao.
"Early tomorrow morning, I will quickly go and invite Master Yuan Wu."
Xiao Liao suddenly slapped his head: "Oops, Master Yuanwu said that he doesn't have enough magic power, and it will take too much to treat your hand, and it will take ten days to recover."
"So even if we find him, it won't help." Fang Rongru looked panicked, "Look for Jingkong, yes, go find him quickly."
"Master Jingkong has been in seclusion for three to five years. There is no one who doesn't come out of seclusion for three to five years." Xiao Liao recalled what Yuan Wu said.
Fang Rongru glanced over her shoulder and grabbed Xiao Liao's hand in horror: "Ten days, I can't last ten days. Please think of a way quickly, I don't want to die."
"Don't be anxious, don't be anxious, I'll think about it, I'll think about it." Xiao Liao's eyes flashed, "You will die, I promise."
After hearing Xiao Liao's assurance, Fang Rongru finally calmed down a little. She didn't know if it was an illusion, but she felt the pain in her shoulder blades spreading rapidly towards her chest. For the first time, she felt that death was so close to her.
"Go back and rest quickly, I will think of something." Xiao Liao personally sent Fang Rongru back to the room.
Xuan Bao and Princess Rouping had dinner together. The second brother Xiao Kexiao and the third brother Xiao Keren, who had returned from an outing, also came to Qinse Courtyard. As soon as they came back, they heard about Xiao Mingzhu's trouble in Lingyun Court, so they hurried to see Xiaowa.
Xuan Bao, who was eating heavily, had no time to talk to his second and third brothers, but with Xia Yu around, her clever mouth explained clearly what happened.
Of course, Xia Yu didn't mention a word about Xuan Bao's injury. It was because the county chief didn't want to talk to Xiao Mingzhu, so he avoided seeing it.
This explanation was reasonable and reasonable. Princess Rouping and the two brothers didn't think there was anything wrong with it. Now Xuanbao's dislike of the second wife and Xiao Mingzhu is obvious and everyone knows it.
It was just too much of a coincidence that the fifth uncle came. Others didn't notice, but Xiao Keren had doubts in his heart.
"Mom, if she doesn't mess with me, I won't mess with her either." Xuan Bao put down his chopsticks and patted his round belly with satisfaction.
Princess Rouping sighed softly and nodded: "I can knock the pearl."
"This person is thick-skinned. She knows that I don't want to see her but still keeps getting closer to her. I don't know what she is thinking about. She brings her brother with her every time."
Xuan Bao seemed to say it casually, but Princess Rouping's eyes lit up. She habitually looked at Aunt Ying who was waiting beside her. The eyes of the master and servant met in mid-air, and there was no need for words at all.
Xiao Keren lowered his head and took a sip of tea and thought thoughtfully. Maybe the little doll applied eye drops to someone. What she said was the truth. It was obvious that Xiao Mingzhu roped in his eldest brother to deal with Xuan Bao, which was tantamount to dealing with his mother, and even with the eldest brother.
The house is the enemy.
Thinking of what Xuan Bao asked and what he asked himself to do before, Xiao Keren didn't realize that there was something wrong with his elder brother, but he had always deceived himself and refused to believe it, but now he had to believe it.
"By the way, mother, I have something to tell you. It's time to move out of the second room." Xiao Kexiao said suddenly.
Before Princess Rouping could react, Xuanbao had already taken over with a smile: "It seems that the second brother has all the foreign affairs of the Hou Mansion in his hands."
"You are the only one who is smart." Xiao Kexiao raised his hand and pinched Xuanbao's left cheek, "Well, not bad, I did eat well. There is more flesh than before and it is easier to pinch."
"I hate it." Xuan Bao had just slapped the second brother's hand on the left, when his right cheek was pinched by the third brother.
"Mom, they bullied me." The little doll pretended to be aggrieved and complained.
The somewhat solemn atmosphere dissipated after the brothers and sisters started joking. Princess Rouping smiled and said, "I think it's good if you don't bully them. How can they bully you?"
"Mother is wise." Xiao Kexiao and Xiao Keren said in unison.
Xuan Bao pouted and squeezed into Princess Rouping's arms. She hugged the little baby and turned to Aunt Ying: "The internal affairs of the Marquis Mansion have been taken care of."
"Princess, don't worry, the Third Young Master is secretly helping you. Now, except for a few people in Xikuoyuan who sold their lives to the second house, everyone else should be rushed and transferred. The Hou Mansion is already under our control.
"That's good. I heard that Fang Rongru is getting better, and it's time for the second wife to leave." Princess Rouping said firmly.
Aunt Ying stepped forward and bowed slightly: "Princess, the news just came, the second lady's health is getting better and worse."
Princess Rouping didn't believe it: "Didn't you say it was great during the day, but now it's no longer good?"
"Mom, good will be rewarded with good and evil will be rewarded with evil. If someone like her gets better, then God will really look down upon her."
Princess Rouping understood Xuanbao's words as soon as she heard them. Others didn't know the reason for Fang Rongru's poor health, but she knew it best.
"Mother is soft-hearted?" Xiao Keren pointed out.
Xiao Kexiao shook his head: "It is not appropriate to delay this matter any longer."
"Don't be soft-hearted, please ask them to leave early in the morning." Princess Rouping was really determined.
The few of you chatted for a while, Xuanbao excused himself because he was tired, and the two brothers naturally wanted to send her back. The three of them saluted their mother and left Qinseyuan.
