After another half a month, Xie Jingxi's condition was much better. Other than the fact that she was severely sick, her pregnancy was much more stable, and when Pei Zixi came over to check her pulse, he suggested that she should go out as appropriate. Only like this, Gu Yun could be considered completely at ease, and promised her that he would go see Lady Sun.
It just so happened that Gu Yun was afraid that she wouldn't be able to take it if she didn't eat, so he changed the way he wanted her to eat more, and even took advantage of the fact that she was going to go out to bargain with him, "Drink another half a bowl of porridge, and if you drink more, I'll let you go out for an extra hour."
It was not that she did not want to drink it, but the porridge was made from meat soup and she could not even see a single bit of it. Even if she drank it, she would have to vomit, there was no need to go through so much suffering, let alone drink it, she just wanted to vomit. "Xuanchen, you should just keep me locked up, hurry up and carry it away, otherwise, what happened just now will be vomited as well."
Seeing that she was really upset, Gu Yun did not force her, but instead personally carried her down the congee and hugged her, sighing, "What are you going to do about it? I heard that you would need to vomit at least two or three months.
Xie Jingxi's entire day's worth of food could not even compare to her usual amount of food for a meal. After half a month, her face had already become the size of a palm, and looking at Gu Yun, how could she not feel pain in her heart? Xie Jingxi held his hand, "Don't be angry.
Gu Yun held her hand, and rested his head on her shoulder. Because he had lost his body when he was giving birth to the Lady Ji, he had always had a bad impression of women, so not only did he wish to have his own child with Xi, he was also afraid.
"It doesn't matter whether he's a girl or a son, I still want to beat him up when he's born. I want to make his mother suffer like this, so it's only right for her to be beaten up."
Xie Jingxi didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Then when I was alive, I wouldn't want you to see it in front of me, it would make my heart ache."
How could she not when Xi was on the verge of death?
"I'll accompany you tomorrow. In the future, you can't even go out by yourself."
"Sure, as long as it doesn't disturb you, I can't wait for you to spend all day with me." Xie Jingxi raised her head and smiled at him, "I happen to be going to the temple to pay my respects. I don't mind him tormenting me, as long as he is fine, we will be fine."
Xie Jingxi had invited the Lady Sun to meet him at the Zen Yue Temple on the outskirts of the city. Gu Yun had brought Zheng Peiru here before, and the smell of the outside was extremely good to deceive people, and it just so happened that today, Gu Yun and his wife had went out early in the morning, and since the weather was not hot or cold, it was time for them to go out for a stroll. Xie Jingxi had been cooped up at home for half a month, so it became luxurious for him to come out.
Gu Yun saw that she was pitiful and felt that it was his fault. But he was afraid that the carriage would bumpy, so he forcefully pulled her into his embrace and turned her into a human cushion so that she could lean on him. "Be good, we'll go out and look later.
"Ah?" "Really?" Xie Jingxi had not seen his grandmother for a long time, how could Gu Yun be so considerate towards her?
Gu Yun thought in his heart: Is it easy? I have been fighting with my wife all day, afraid that she would trip me up.
After accompanying Xie Jingxi to the incense hall, they followed the temple's little Sha Mi to the backyard. Gu Yun and the temple's little Sha Mi spoke to Fang Shen while Xie Jingxi went to the other temple, and Lady Sun came over first. It seemed like she had already talked with Zheng Peiru before him, and Zheng Peiru's eyes were still red, she was probably crying.
"Mrs. Gu, I didn't know anything previously, so I have troubled you." Zheng Peiru saw that she was about to kneel down, and was about to stop her, but was stopped by Lady Sun: "This head should be able to kowtow to you."
Zheng Peiru kowtowed to Xie Jingxi in the end. Xie Jingxi was at a loss of what to do, and hurriedly helped her up, "How can you say it like this, it's nothing much. Since you're back, you should go and apologize to your sister-in-law.
"Exactly." Lady Sun brought Xie Jingxi to the outer room to talk, "As a sister-in-law, I have to take care of her, and her family can't make things difficult for her, as long as she returns, it's better than anything else. Our family must thank you, I trouble you to personally come over and bring her back, and when you heard that she was sick, how are we supposed to feel about it?"
Zheng Peiru should not be so foolish as to reveal Shen Huanzhi. As for whether or not Lady Sun will guess it later, she was implying that she will help keep the information of the people in the Zheng Family secret, that Lady Sun is a smart person, that she knows what's important and what's not, so Xie Jingxi was slightly relieved.
"This concerns Miss Zheng's reputation and cannot be taken advantage of by others. Speaking of which, Shen Family people are also very brazen. On the way, I even met that second wife from Shen Family."
Feng Qing and I will remember your kindness from the start. From now on, if you have anything you want to help Lord Gu with, please feel free to say it, we will definitely do our duty. "
"Lady Zheng, you're too serious. I'm even embarrassed if you say anything more."
Lady Sun laughed, "Forget it, I actually have something I want to ask you today."
Xie Jingxi was suspicious: "If you have something to say, then just say it."
The Lady Sun didn't seem to know how to answer, "I know this question is a little difficult, it's fine if you don't know or don't want to say it, it's related to your second family's Fourth Miss."
Xie Jingxi's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that Lady Sun knew about the matter between Fourth Miss and Zheng Heinian? No, she definitely did not know, otherwise she would not have asked. If Lady Sun was only there to spy on her, then Lady Sun would be too confused, and would cause people to look down on her.
"Fourth Miss is currently in Former Crown Prince's residence. After I entered, I did not have much contact with her, but I do not know what you would like to ask."
"Now that things have developed to this point, I won't hide some things from you." Lady Sun considered and told her, "My third brother, He Nian, is not a person to be trifled with. I have recently heard some gossip about him and Fourth Miss, originally it was nothing, but now Fourth Miss has a close relationship with him, if I were to ask for confirmation, I am afraid that he will cause trouble for my family."
Once Lady Sun said this, Xie Jingxi understood the relationship between Zheng Family and others. Zheng Heinian was in the third place in their generation, but he was not in Zheng Fengqing's room, and was located in the second house of Zheng Family, where Zheng Fengqing's second uncle lived. He was also his second uncle's younger cousin. Previously, she said that Old Madem Zheng's sons couldn't be raised by one generation, but since Old Madem had three sons, it was true that the eldest would not be able to raise them up, while the second eldest would barely be able to explain it. However, because he was not the patriarch of the family, he did not have any share in the clan's matters.
In this way, the Second Branch could not help but feel dissatisfied, especially after the Empress had lost her strength. The Second Branch could not help but have many ideas in its mind, which was to say that to a certain extent, Zheng Fengqing's room would still have to worry about the Empress' position, but the Second Branch would not do so. Especially if she knew that the so-called grandson born in Fourth Miss was actually Zheng Heinian, it was not hard to imagine how the Second Branch would choose.
Zheng Fengqing and Lady Sun were not confused, the way to nurture the young royal grandson was their last resort, nurturing was one thing, but once the young royal grandson's true identity was revealed, then no one could escape from their Zheng Family, and they would all have to accompany the young royal grandson to death. From the perspective of the major wife, how could they support Zheng Heinian's bloodline to ascend to the throne?
If her Lady Sun could hear some rumors, then there would be even more people who could. To be able to think of Gu Yun and Xie Jingxi, the first ones she could think of were them, but after making contact with them, if Lady Sun still couldn't see the bottom between the Gu family's eldest young master and the Grand Mistress, then it would be a waste of so many years.
Lady Sun made the right choice. Before this, Xie Jingxi had also thought about this question, why would Lady Sun, such a wise person, allow Zheng Family to choose to nurture a little royal grandson, and only spoke a few shallow words that should not be spoken by her. Only now did she realise that there were also many differences within Zheng Family, and if Zheng Family was so naive as to think that nurturing a person with Zheng Family blood would allow them to rise from the ranks, then that would be the end of the line. If others did not mention it, the Former Crown Prince Concubine Lady Shi would definitely know about it. If even if the Little Emperor were to succeed one day, then the real royal family would be the Shi Family or the Gu Family. Then, who could openly recognize someone with the status of Zheng Family, and at that time, the first person they would have to get rid of would be Zheng Family.
Therefore, Xie Jingxi looked at Lady Sun meaningfully, "It's best to not spread some gossip. Fourth Miss's current identity is very sensitive, regardless of whether it's true or not, we have to avoid a little suspicion. Furthermore, in these years, Former Crown Prince only has this one person who came here with us, and it was before we entered the palace.
The Lady Sun understood tacitly, and looked at her gratefully, "Mrs. Gu has done a great service to my Zheng Family, there is no way to repay Feng Qing and I, please bestow upon me a bow."
Xie Jingxi did not dare to accept, and immediately helped her up, "If Madam Zheng continues like this, I will not dare to speak to you again, it's just a few words, it's nothing much."
Xie Jingxi was unable to stay for long, she spoke a few more words with Lady Sun before leaving. After Zheng Peiru left the house, Lady Sun patted her hands, "You earned your life by yourself, so you should learn more from Mrs. Gu."
