Five hundred and fortieth chapters despite the peace of mind
Zhou Yue looked at her purse and swallowed. Do all the dandies in Beijing like this kind of thing now? He hadn't been to Beijing for a long time and was becoming more and more unfamiliar with this circle.
Xu Qingan saw that Zhou Yue was still hesitating: "Why, you are not worth a hundred taels of silver?"
He is certainly worth it, not to mention that if Xu Qing'an says it doesn't work, he won't take the money. It's not him who has the final say whether it works or not. Zhou Yue feels that Prince Anyi may have made a deal at a loss.
Xu Qing'an patted Zhou Yue on the shoulder, "Let's go, there's a banquet in front."
The two people walked forward while talking, but Zhou Yue saw Mr. Song not far away. He couldn't help but stop, "I still won't go."
He was a little timid at the thought of having a banquet with Lord Song. Lord Song was unpredictable and not as approachable as Li Xu.
Zhou Yue went to say goodbye to Marquis Anyi and left the Xu family.
Qi Defang happened to be coming from here. The two of them greeted each other at the door, and Qi Defang went to look for Xu Qing'an.
Zhou Yue got on the horse and couldn't help but turn her head and look at the door of Xu's house again.
The red lantern spikes sway gently in the wind.
The people around Prince Xu seemed to be different. They were no longer idle dandies. They were just now very popular, with a bit of nobility between their eyebrows, and they were polite and polite. He looked like a young talent.
Zhou Yue lowered his head and looked at the purse around his waist. He felt a little dazed and confused as to why he came to Xu's house.
…
Xu Qinghuan looked at the hot pot that was simmering in the kitchen. The milky white soup base was tumbling "gurglingly", and the aroma spread along with the steaming heat.
Feng Chu couldn't help but swallow a mouthful. The mutton inside must have been stewed until it was so soft that she wanted to swallow her tongue. She seemed to be so hungry that her legs and feet were weak. If she didn't eat, she would faint here.
Xu Qinghuan nodded to the cook, "It's time to serve." The whole family gathered together to eat, talking and laughing during the meal, which made people happy just thinking about it.
"Don't forget to prepare those boxes of snacks. I'll be out soon." Xu Qinghuan then ordered the kitchen.
The cook smiled and said, "Don't worry, Miss!"
Xu Qinghuan walked out of the kitchen and saw Song Chengxuan not far away. She walked over quickly and said, "The food has been sent to the front in the big kitchen. Mr. Song, why don't you go quickly."
It was rare that there were so many people today, and the Prince of Shunyang County also came to join in the fun, so they simply held a separate banquet in front, and their female relatives gathered in the Tai Madam's house.
Song Chengxuan did not move.
Is it possible that I still have to eat on the table of the female family members...
Xu Qinghuan gently pushed Song Chengxuan, "Go quickly, it won't taste good when the pot is cold." After saying that, she stretched out her hand to straighten Fang Sheng around Song Chengxuan's waist.
Feng Chu immediately turned her head. She felt that the eldest lady's movements had become more and more skillful these days.
…
Li family.
Dr. Chai checked Mrs. Li's pulse, "The injuries on Mrs. Li's body are no longer serious, and they won't have any root causes. However, the old illness needs to be treated well.
The eldest lady probably has a condition left after giving birth."
Before Mrs. Li could speak, Li Xu said, "My mother got wind after she gave birth to me, so she developed a cough." Not long after he was born, he had an emergency. Grandma Wen said she would not survive, and my father was afraid that her mother would be sad, so she lied to her about everything.
Everything is fine, take him to a doctor for treatment.
When his mother realized that something was wrong, she rushed over to see how he was doing. Together with his father, he went to several doctors to cure his illness. However, his mother suffered from this chronic illness because of a lack of physical care.
Dr. Chai Lao said, "I will prescribe a few doses of medicine to the eldest lady. However, the disease is 30% medicine and 70% recovery. The eldest lady should not be overworked anymore and try not to go out when the weather is cold. I will come back for a follow-up consultation in seven days."
Mrs. Li said, "Excuse me."
Dr. Chai got up to write a prescription, and Li Xu immediately followed him. The two of them walked out of the house. Seeing that there was no one else around, Dr. Chai immediately turned around and looked at Li Xu, "Does Master Li know that Second Grandma Kong is pregnant?"
"
Li Xu's expression didn't change at all. "The eldest sister didn't mention it. Will the eldest sister's poisoning cause harm to the unborn child?"
Dr. Chai Lao said, "It can be regarded as a blessing among misfortunes. The dose of medicine administered by that person was very small, and the doctor arrived in time that day, so that it would not cause a catastrophe. I have already prescribed anti-fetal medicine to protect Second Mistress Kong."
The baby in your belly is safe."
Li Xu once again thanked Dr. Chai.
After getting the prescription and sending Dr. Chai away, Li Xu turned around and went to Kong's house.
Miss Li was leaning on the couch and drinking corn porridge. She handed the bowl in her hand to the servant. Then she looked at Li Xu and said, "Do you know everything?"
Li Xu sat on the chair, "Eldest sister, why didn't you tell me before?"
Mrs. Li smiled demurely, "I'm afraid you will be worried. My aunt is already full of guilt towards me. If I say this again, wouldn't it scare her.
Moreover, I didn't expect... I didn't know it when I came out of Northern Xinjiang. I hadn't been feeling well for the past two days, so I called the doctor to see me. The doctor said that the month was too young to be sure, and I needed to check the pulse in a few days... Who knows
Since this happened to him, this child is considered very lucky."
Miss Li's eyes were full of love.
Li Xu looked at Miss Li for a long time before saying, "Eldest sister, you still have to be careful about your food these days, and let the servants you trust around you serve you."
Miss Li nodded, "Don't worry, the stewards around me were all brought from the Kong family. After the persimmons were poisoned, they were even more careful. No one can approach the big kitchen. Your brother-in-law will be here in a few days."
Beijing is in the middle, and there will be more people to take care of you when the time comes.
You don’t have to worry about us, you should focus on your official duties. My aunt has suffered a lot this time, so you have to investigate the case clearly."
Li Xu's eyes deepened and he said nothing.
Suddenly there was a noise in the yard.
Miss Li turned around and asked, "What's the sound?"
"Second Grandma... it's... the official is here."
Miss Li's expression changed and she ordered the steward to check.
"Eldest sister, don't pay attention," Li Xu said, "I asked the Yamen to come."
Miss Li looked at Li Xu blankly, "Ninth brother, what do you mean? Why did the Yamen come to the Kong family?"
Li Xu said calmly, "The matter of elder sister's poisoning has not been found out yet. The two assailants who broke into the Kong family had no time to poison before. The Kong family must have their insiders. I will ask the criminal department officials to take the servants for interrogation now."
, the suspicious person will be found soon."
Miss Li opened her eyes wide and said after a while, "What on earth is going on? How could the Kong family harm me?"
As she said this, Mrs. Li looked at the steward and said, "Help me up, I'm going to see...if someone really did such a thing."
Li Xu stood up, "Eldest sister, for the sake of the baby in her belly, it's better to have a good rest. With me here, eldest sister can feel at ease."
