The doctor who consulted them wrote a few prescriptions and told Lord Assistant Minister, "My stomach is cold, and it caused a fever. I just wrote a few prescriptions, and it will be done on time."

The Lord Assistant Minister politely received the prescription and passed it to the butler, Uncle Wang, "Uncle Wang, escort the doctor out and take the medicine outside."

Housekeeper Wang took the prescription and sent the doctor out.

Lord Assistant Minister glanced at the sleeping Nangong Waner, and sighed in his heart, thinking that Nangong Waner was angry at the Assistant Minister couple, he anxiously attacked his heart. In his heart, Lord Assistant Minister was extremely guilty, "Ju Xiang, service Eldest Miss well, when Uncle Wang gets the medicine, remember to fry it for Eldest Miss to consume on time".

Nangong Waner was still in a muddled state from before. It was only until the afternoon when he woke up with a fever. He slowly opened his eyes and laid on the bed in a daze.

Ju Xiang was very happy that Nangong Waner woke up and hurried over, "Miss, you finally woke up. I was worried to death, how did my stomach suddenly turn cold, did you eat something unclean with Miss Liu on the streets yesterday? The master and wife thought that you were angry at the two of them and became anxious, so they all said that the master and wife were crying three times because you went back to your house and closed the door."

Ju Xiang talked for a long time, but Nangong Waner replied dispiritedly, "Oh."

Ju Xiang did not think too much into it. It was normal for him to think that his young miss had gotten sick and did not have much mental energy.

In the end, there were no secrets in Shangjing City, other than that Elder Xiu received the letter saying that Nangong Waner was sick and could not go to class for the time being, there were also other people who knew that Nangong Waner was sick.

Prince Zhan's Mansion.

Elder Xiu was silently sitting in the bamboo forest as he meditated, when the Duke Mansion's butler called for someone from the outside, and the Elder Xiu walked out vigorously. The Duke Mansion's butler passed a letter to the Elder Xiu, "A letter sent by the Assistant Minister’s Residence from the Department of Public Officials, it seems like the Miss Nangong got sick earlier this morning, and requested leave from you."

Elder Xiu received Lord Assistant Minister's letter and took out the letter from the envelope. He looked down at it for a bit, then pinched the white beard on his chin and started to ponder. He pondered over and over again whether he was being harsh on Nangong Waner or not, to the point that his body could not handle it.

"After all, this Nangong Waner is still a mortal." After researching for a long time, Elder Xiu made a decision. In the future, when Nangong Waner came to the Duke Palace to study, he would teach him well.

Liu Estate.

After Lord Liu left the court, he directly returned to the residence without any social formalities.

She pointed at the few portraits with a very amiable expression and said, "So it's like that. Mother has found all the young talents of Shangjing who are of suitable age for marriage for you. Look, it's all here, your father and I have discussed it with each other. We didn't look as good as you choose." "This is the son of Old General Wen. He looks quite manly, but he has been stationed outside the city with Old General Wen for a long time. If you marry him, you will need to go to the other side of the city with him. Mother naturally won't be willing to part with him."

Liu Ru became absent-minded as she thought to cover everything up according to the method that Nangong Waner had taught her, and then started to put on a superficial front, "Un, Mother, what you said is that I don't want to be married outside the city, I just want to guard you and Father."

After flipping over a page of the portrait, she then introduced it, "This is Prime Minister Qin's son, brother of Qin Ruxue, Qin Feng. He looks like a genius, after all, the people in the Qin Residence all look good, but although Qin Feng is the eldest son of the Qin Residence, he is a bastard. His mother is just a girl who warmed Prime Minister Qin's bed. However, the outside world doesn't say such things. It's raised under Madam Qin's name. "

If that's the case, then your father is only an assistant minister," she consoled him. "In Tiancheng, the only exception to being a prince is the Qin Manor, so you shouldn't judge Qin Feng as a bastard, but he was raised under Madam Qin's name.

When Liu Ruyan heard what Lady Liu said, her face did not look good. She did not know what to say.

Lady Liu was not stubborn. "Forget it. No matter what, I just don't have any luck. Naturally, I can't force my way through." As she spoke, Lady Liu flipped through another portrait, which Liu Ruochen happened to look up at as well. When Liu Zhenbiao saw the person in the portrait, he couldn't control the excitement in his heart and shouted out to the Liu Mansion happily, "Mother!"

"This is the son of the Minister of Industry, Xiao Ze. Mother also really likes him as your husband, it's just that Xiao Ze has been in the ascendant recently and even received the appreciation of the Emperor. I heard your father say that Lord Xiao and Official Sun are very close, so if Lord Xiao wants to be engaged with Sir Sun, the Liu Estate should not take over the relationship." With that, Madam Liu threw Xiao Ze's portrait to the side.

After Liu Ru heard what Lady Liu said, the light in her eyes immediately dimmed. Taking the chance when Lady Liu wasn't paying attention, she secretly hid Xiao Ze's portrait inside her sleeves.

Madam Liu once again flipped through the portrait with great interest. At this moment, Liu Ruyi did not even have the mood to reply. She lowered her head dejectedly and stroked the portrait hidden in her right sleeve with her left hand.

It was at this moment that Lord Liu walked into the room. Liu Ru ran over to Lord Liu as if a heavy burden had been lifted off her shoulders, "Father, you came back. Are you tired? Is the emperor angry? Is there anything wrong? "

Lord Liu happily straightened his back, "What happened today? We, the Liu Clan, are not afraid of anything in this world, so why are you so obedient? I'll go out and see if the sun is coming out of the west. "

Liu Ru seemed a little dissatisfied when she heard this, "Since father doesn't like a well-behaved daughter, then daughter should go back to her room." Saying that, Liu Ruo prepared to stride out of Lord Liu's and his wife's courtyard.

Lord Liu called out to Liu Ru, "When you come back, you are always in high spirits. You don't look like a lady from a noble family."

When Liu Ruo heard what Lord Liu said, she stood still. Turning around, she looked at Lord Liu and pursed her lips in dissatisfaction. "Father, if you have something to say, then say it quickly."

Master Liu rolled his eyes, cleared his throat and said, "Today, I had a chat with Master Nan Gong, saying that Nangong Waner was sick, and did not study at Elder Xiu, and is currently recuperating at Assistant Minister’s Residence, in the afternoon, go take something from the treasury, and help your mother and I take a look, our two families have always been close to each other."

When Liu Ruo heard that Nangong Waner was sick, she was naturally very worried. After Master Liu finished speaking, Liu Ruo rushed out like an arrow.

Lord Liu looked at his daughter's flying figure and sighed. "We should get married earlier. We should find a man to manage her."
