"My son is gone, so what if he smashed something? Since I was young, who knows how many good things I've smashed! I originally didn't believe that my son died of an illness, it's just a child's fever, how can so many Imperial Physician s be saved? Stop pretending to be kind and hide it from me, do you think I, Xie Jingqi am a fool! "
"Alright, you're not an idiot. Then go investigate. When you find out, avenge our son." Gu Heng flung his sleeves and left the room, he then walked into the study alone without a care in the world.
Ever since Xie Jingqi got pregnant, she basically spent the night alone in the study. As long as he could get a match with Xie Jingqi, her mood would become inexplicably irritable, so he couldn't help but avoid her. Gu Heng pinched her forehead and closed her eyes distractedly for the whole day and night, her head seemed to have been thrown into a pot of porridge, in front of him was the look of her big brother dying, in the next moment, Xie Jingqi was going crazy, she was tangled up to the end, only leaving behind a smiling face.
"Second Master." Suddenly, a woman's voice appeared beside his ear. Gu Heng abruptly opened his eyes and saw that it was Yue Wen.
"You don't need to attend to me here. You can leave now."
When Yue Wen was about to become an adult, she was one of the few concubines Lady Zeng gave him. At that time, she had been studying for a few years, so she arranged for her to do some chores in her study room. Yue Wen had a quiet and refined appearance, and although she wasn't very choosy, she knew her limits. This was also the reason why Gu Heng was able to keep her safe.
Yue Wen knew that it was so, so she did not say much, only said yes, and went back down. However, she went back to the kitchen to make another bowl of porridge and made a few exquisite dishes. When she came back to the study room again, Gu Heng was already asleep on the table.
Yue Wen gently placed the lunchbox on the table. Looking at Gu Heng's sleeping face, he hesitated for a while, but in the end, he still went to grab a piece of clothes and lightly draped it over his body. Who knew that when she was about to leave, Gu Heng would suddenly grab her wrist.
Gu Heng's voice was very vague, and it was hard to tell if it was Jing Qi or Jing Wan, but Yue Wen was sure that the person he called was not the Second Young Master, because the Young Master did not think of her in his heart.
"Young Master, please get up and eat something."
Yue Wen spoke softly. After a long while, only then did Gu Heng let go of his hands and raised his head, "I actually fell asleep, didn't you say that I don't need to come in and serve you?"
Gu Heng rubbed his brows, but he was not slow at all, "I heard from the person beside Young Master that you haven't eaten in a day and a night, no matter what, don't make yourself hungry, I just cooked some rice porridge and made a few small dishes, at least warm my stomach for now."
It was likely that no one could reject such a girl who spoke so softly. She was not aggressive and considerate. Even the rice porridge cuisine seemed to be warm from her words, comforting and comforting. Gu Heng was indeed a little hungry, so he picked up the porridge and started eating.
"What's happening with second young mistress?"
"When I heard that Second Young Mistress went to the medicine store first and wanted the prescription for that day, I didn't see anything on it, so she took it to my wife's place." Coincidentally, Imperial Physician Pei came over to get his safety vein, so Second Young Madam asked Imperial Physician Pei to help his take a look. "
Yue Wen paused for a moment, then added another bowl for Gu Heng, "Imperial Physician Pei has seen, there is no problem with the recipe. For some reason, Young Mistress wants to gather the girls who went through the motions of making the medicine that day, saying that she will interrogate them alone, hearing that their wife is angry, and also alerting Marquis. In the end, the Imperial Physician Pei came out and gave Young Mistress a safe vein, and gave her some advice on how to be pregnant, and urged her on about diet, and so on and so forth. "
Gu Heng listened to him in silence, thinking that it was all thanks to the Imperial Physician Pei, so he decided to thank him more in the future, "I'll be staying here for the night, you should go and clean up now."
Yue Wen replied softly, "Yes."
It was said that the Marquis' Wife was not lightly angered by her, and had laid on the bed for a few days without getting off the ground. No one was in charge of the household, and it was so chaotic that they were like chickens flying and dogs jumping. The Lady Xu was so worried that a few strands of her hair had turned white when she heard Xie Jingyi's words.
I heard a few times that the Marquis' Wife could not manage it, and that the had to watch over it for a few days. In front of me, it's obvious that the aunt told me to listen to it, because I'm a junior, so it's not good for me to interrupt, and this matter is indeed something Jing Qi doesn't understand.
The Lady Xu sighed, "She's fine, why can't she be half as sensible as you. She also blames me for spoiling her too much, did I send that chatty girl away?"
"At that time, Young Master sent her to the Manor."
"It will be hard for him." Lady Xu almost popped out her third eye, "Since it's like this, I can't allow her to destroy my good days."
As if having made some sort of decision, Lady Xu spoke with abnormally firm words. Xie Jingyi's heart thumped as she raised her head to look at Lady Xu, "Mother, you won't … "Didn't Father already reject her that day? What are you doing to provoke his misfortune? Moreover, Third Girl is someone who can handle such a thing. Who knows, maybe Father will have other plans for her?"
"I don't care about that much anymore!" Lady Xu slapped the table and stood up, "Look at Second Miss, she needs to do something the moment she looks away, any little scum would be able to bite her tongue and climb up, we have troubled to support her and she will definitely not forgive us. Can't you see that Young Master is already tired of her, she doesn't even have any support in Marquis Mansion, in a few years, that Second Young Madam will be beaten into the cold palace, by then, it will really be too late!"
When he said these words, a thought flashed across Xie Jingyi's eyes. She kept having the feeling that the way the young master looked at the three girls was a little different, and the way the third girl looked seemed to be especially far away from the young master. If it was really like that, then Third Miss would definitely not have anything to do with Second Miss if she really married Young Master.
"Mother." Xie Jingyi considered, "I think maybe it's better to wait for a while longer, since the three little girls are still young, and there's no need to rush for the betrothal ceremony. I also heard from Marquis Mansion Grandmother that Imperial Physician Pei was present the other day, and said that there's a fire in the liver and a weak kidney, and that it's not appropriate for them to be pregnant. These words are out of place, don't you mean that there's no hope for the child to be born in Second Miss?
"In a few years, it will always be something without a trace. Forget it, I'll think over it carefully. If you have nothing better to do, go and take a look at Second Miss. She should at least be able to listen to a few words of yours."
Xie Jingyi returned to the Lu Manor with a heavy heart. In this place, Xie Jingxi was resting for lunch and was still in a daze when she was awakened by the noise outside the yard. Xie Jingxi was suspicious, there were very few people visiting her house, what was going on today.
"Ming Yu, what are you arguing about outside?"
Xie Jingxi asked, but had already gone down to the courtyard to take a look, it was actually the Nan and the Sixth Miss whom she had not seen for a long time. When Sixth Miss saw Xie Jingxi coming out, he ran over to complain, "Big sister Third Sister, Nan already ruined the crabapple blossoms, and even said that he wanted to cut down the trees. It took me so much effort to stop him, please take a look."
Xie Jingxi frowned, she followed over to take a look, only to see that the fully grown, leaf-bearing Begonia had already been grabbed miserably, but fortunately, the Nan was not big and there was still a chance for it to suffer. Ming Yu was currently holding onto Nan tightly, preventing him from fighting. Nan bared her fangs and brandished her claws, and started crying and making a ruckus, "Demon Tree Tree, I want to cut it down, cut it down …"
Nan had raised his for a few months, andhiss body was fine now, but he still did not recognize anyone, and her words were vague and unintelligible. Other than the servants in front of his, and the Aunt Zhao herself, most people could not understand what he had said, but the words that came out of her mouth were extremely clear, and Xie Jingxi knew that someone must have taught him.
"Nan, do you still remember who I am?" Xie Jingxi squatted in front of the Nan, preventing the Nan from injuring him, and hugged him tightly.
She shook her head and smiled as she stood up. With Madame Zhao as her mother, this child would probably not have anything to worry about, and felt that it was a great pity as well. "Forget it, let him go back, what is there to talk about with a child?"
Just as Xie Jingxi was about to pull Sixth Miss back to the house, the Nan relaxed her vigilance and turned to bite her wrist. In pain, Ming Yu let go of her hand, but Nan managed to struggle free and charged towards Xie Jingxi.
"Miss, be careful!"
Seemingly at the same time, Nan already knocked into Xie Jingxi, which caught him off guard, and caused him to subconsciously try to protect. With a twist of his legs, he directly fell to the ground, and Xie Jingxi could only hear a muffled sound, which was probably the sound of bones twisting.
When Xie Jingxi fell, his ankle just happened to be at an unlucky angle, as it was directly pressed under her body. Her hand was also cut by the stone, but Nan did not let him go, and before Ming Yu could catch him once again, he kicked her.
Xie Jingxi was in so much pain that she broke out in cold sweat, but she endured the pain and helped Sixth Miss up first.
When Xie Jingxi saw that something was going to happen, she hurried over, "Ming Yu, quickly stop the two of them!"
But how could one person be able to catch two big kids while looking after Xie Jingxi's injuries?
