While they were talking, Yi Yue walked in with the medicinal food she made for Shi Anran. It was extremely pungent smell of herbs and Shi Anran could not help but wrinkle her nose: "How much longer do I have to eat?"
"Soon, your servant will see that you've gotten better these past two days. Eat some more. When the lord comes back, you'll be done."
Shi Anran nodded, "Then let's do it this way."
After consuming the medicine, Shi Anran went to bed with the help of the few girls.
Lian Xing squatted on the floor and helped her get her shoes and socks. Shi Anran moved her cute and round toes, then laid on the bed.
"Miss, Uncle Yang has sent someone to say that Master has returned."
In the afternoon, while Shi Anran was busy studying chess, Yi Yue walked in.
Shi Anran stood up with a face full of surprise and surprise, "Really? It's been a long time since I last saw father, speaking of it, I really do miss father." With that, Shi Anran stood up and was about to walk out.
Seeing her so happy, Yi Yue suddenly could not bear to say the rest of her words, but now was not the time to hesitate.
Just as Shi Anran was about to choose a dress, Yi Yue stood in front of her, "Miss, this servant hasn't finished speaking."
"Oh?" Shi Anran curiously raised her head and looked at Yi Yue.
"When Master returned, he went straight to Third Concubine's room in delight."
Hearing that, Shi Anran's face changed, "She went? "Why?"
Yi Yue was a little hesitant, but after seeing Shi Anran's persistent gaze, she still explained.
"I heard from Shen Hong that Third Concubine secretly sent a message to Master last night. As for what it was, this servant does not know.
"It's none of your business. Since Third Concubine has been the host for so long, it's only natural that she has some trusted aides. It was also my negligence."
Putting down the clothes in her hands, Shi Anran no longer had the mood to dress up anymore, "Come, let's go to Jian Jia Courtyard. I would like to see what kind of news could make my father so happy."
With that, Shi Anran walked out of the room, Yi Yue quickly followed along, the current young miss's entire body was filled with a vile aura, causing her to not dare to say anything.
The moment he walked out of the Agarwood Courtyard, Shi Anran's expression returned to normal.
Looking at Jian Jia Yuan in front of him, Shi Anran suddenly remembered something, and said softly: "Yi Yue, could it be that Third Concubine suspected that she was pregnant and informed my father in a hurry?"
Hearing her words, Yi Yue's eyes lit up. That's right, how could she have forgotten about that?
"Old master, this concubine only suspects that I have it. I've yet to hire a doctor, and you should know that Eldest Young Miss seems to have some misconceptions about this concubine. She's always …"
Just as they walked closer, the Third Concubine's coquettish voice sounded. Shi Anran and Yi Yue couldn't help but rub the goosebumps on their arms.
Shi Anran now truly admired her father quite a bit, even he was able to listen to such a disgusting voice.
And even though Third Concubine didn't finish her words, all of them revealed to Shi Yu just how miserable she had been during the days he hadn't been around.
Shi Anran curled her lips, she was no longer in a hurry to go in, she was really curious about what kind of nonsense the Third Concubine would speak with her eyes wide open.
Father, your daughter knows that she was wrong, and Aunt has been constantly lecturing your daughter these past few days. Father, don't blame your aunt, after all, your elder sister is still an unmarried woman, so it's not a big deal for her to show herself for the rest of the day.
Hearing Shi Anyi's words, Shi Yu curiously raised his brows, "Wasn't it your aunt who helped me before I left?"
As soon as Shi Yu asked this, Shi Anyi looked at him with some difficulty, as if he did not know whether or not he should say it.
"If you have anything to say, just say it."
After hearing this, Shi Anyi felt like she had eaten a pill to calm herself, and said everything she had to say, "Father, you don't know, big sister seems to be on guard against concubine at all times, and doesn't let us get in front of her at all …"
"Alright, An Yi, let's not talk about it. As long as your sister is happy, it doesn't matter to me what kind of grievances I'll suffer.
Before Shi Anyi could finish her words, she was interrupted by the Third Concubine. However, she had said all that she wanted to say.
Hearing that, Shi Yu frowned, and only after a long while did he speak, "There must be a misunderstanding. Anran is not that kind of person."
Hearing Shi Yu's words, Shi Anran felt that her heart had finally warmed up a little. She no longer hid herself and walked towards the house.
Yi Yue took advantage of the moment when no one was looking, and opened the acupoints of the little girl who was guarding the door.
The sudden appearance of Shi Anran shocked the mother and daughter of the Third Concubine. Shi Anran did not bother with the two of them and turned to Shi Yu, "My daughter heard that father is back, so she acted a little disrespectful and entered without waiting for a report."
Hearing Shi Anran's words, Shi Yu smiled and reached out to touch her head, "Is this complaining that father hasn't returned yet, to look for a little girl like you first?"
"Un, there is one thing. Dad, you left for a long time this time. Your daughter really misses you."
Hearing Shi Anran say that, Shi Yu's eyes also turned red, "Foolish daughter, don't you still have to leave your father in the future?"
Seeing the father and daughter pair acting so happily, Shi Anyi clenched her fists in jealousy.
"Oh right, Father, my daughter was outside just now. I heard the Third Concubine say that my daughter was suppressing her power and not letting it go? Every time this kind of account is sent to her daughter, her daughter would always have Yi Yue and the others personally deliver it to her. How did the atmosphere change when she came to the aunt's place? "
At the beginning, the reason the Third Concubine was so blatantly talking bad about Shi Anran with Shi Anyi was because she wanted to bury a thorn in Shi Yu's heart. But who would have known, that it would actually be heard by Shi Anran, and she couldn't think of anything else to say for a while.
Shi Yu looked at Third Concubine with some suspicion, but when he thought about how Third Concubine should be pregnant, he reached out to pat Shi Anran's hands, "Your aunt might be pregnant, and will inevitably be a little suspicious."
Hearing Shi Yu's reasoning, Shi Anran lowered her head. She naturally knew what her father was thinking right now; her father was only a son, and he was born from the second concubine. Since he was young, he wasn't very close to them, and knowing that Third Concubine was pregnant, he would naturally be exceptionally happy.
"Father, why don't you call a doctor to come to the palace and have a look at Third Concubine. After all, we are not doctors, so we can't let this happy event go for nothing."
Hearing Shi Anran's words, the Third Concubine felt uneasy for some reason. She kept having the feeling that Shi Anran had something bad going on, and so she rejected him subconsciously.
Shi Yu frowned: "That's fine too, let the doctor take a look, and it'll be easier to confirm. What Anran said is right, they are not doctors, and my guess is wrong."
"No, there's no need, old master!"
Sensing Shi Yu's suspicious gaze, Third Concubine tried her best to squeeze out a smile, "Master, I mean, since you just came back today, it's better for you to rest first. I'm not in a hurry."
"It's alright, Yi Yue, go and find a stable servant and ask for Doctor Li to come out."
