Chapter 236: Found Another Mother
Chapter 236: Found Another Mother
After seeing the doctor off, Liu Hong was still a little bit unbelieving.
"How could Xiaoyanzi suddenly become like this? When did she get hurt internally? And it hurt her very foundation. We've been with her the whole time, and we didn't even know that Xiaoyanzi was vomiting blood frequently."
Liu Hong felt extremely guilty. She had done nothing wrong as a sister. Thinking about how she was angry with Xiao Yanzi a few days ago, she felt even more guilty.
Liu Qing sighed. Things turned out to be so serious. Xiaoyanzi was such a fool. She even vomited blood and didn't say anything!
In fact, Xiaoyanzi did not intend to hide it. She was a person who valued her life very much.
Except for the first time she vomited blood, every time her emotions fluctuated, Xiaoyanzi forced herself to suppress that strange feeling.
Not vomiting it out made the situation even worse. Xiaoyanzi never imagined it would be so serious.
At this time, Xiaoyanzi was still unconscious and obviously not well.
Hearing Xiaoyanzi calling for her parents and brother, Liu Qing and Liu Hong felt heartbroken again.
I originally thought Xiaoyanzi was abandoned by her family, but who would have thought that she actually carried a deep blood feud.
He lived heartlessly for nineteen years, only to find out when the truth came out that his only brother was also going to be exiled. Who could accept that?
Liu Qing looked at the imperial edict on the table. This imperial edict was simply Xiaoyanzi's death warrant. If possible, it would be better not to let Xiaoyanzi know her life experience for the rest of her life!
Thinking of this, Liu Qing sighed heavily again. Xiao Jian was really confused. Why did he have to be so desperate as to assassinate the prince and the princess? What good would it do?
After all, it can't really be because of Xiaoyanzi's complaints, right?
Doesn't everyone know Xiaoyanzi's bad mouth? She is very unforgiving with her words, but Xiao Jian actually took it seriously.
All of this was so unbelievable that Liu Qing felt that his brain, which was as big as a walnut kernel, was totally inadequate.
He looked at Liu Hong and asked in a muffled voice, "What should we do?"
Liu Hong was a bit disappointed. "What should we do? We have to do what we have to do. We have to make ends meet. Everyone in the compound needs to eat, and now Xiaoyanzi needs medical treatment. Although the emperor has rewarded her with a lot of money, who knows what will happen in the future? The Huibinlou will open tomorrow, and we have a heavy burden on our shoulders."
Yes, Liu Qing smiled bitterly, this burden was as heavy as a mountain. Even if he was sad, he had to cheer up.
"Then I'll go to the kitchen and take a look and get ready. We've been closed for a few days, so we have to offer some discounts to our old customers when we reopen."
"Go ahead, brother. I'll be looking after Xiaoyanzi today."
Although Liu Qing is a little stupid, one advantage he has is that he is not confused. With Liu Hong's advice, as long as they are willing to work hard, why should they be afraid that their lives will not be prosperous?
Besides, Xiaoyanzi has become a village lady now. Although I don’t know what benefits it brings, it is at least better than being an ordinary citizen.
Hearing Xiaoyanzi still mumbling, Liu Hong sighed and silently went forward to guard her.
I don’t know what’s going on with the Fifth Prince. So many things have happened recently, but he hasn’t shown up at all. Does he really not care about Xiaoyanzi?
At this time in Yonghe Palace, Yongqi, who had been kept in the dark by Concubine Yu and had no idea what was happening outside, was having an awkward conversation with Xinrong.
Concubine Yu had locked him up for these days, and Yongqi's stubborn character had been softened. He had been "forced" to accept the marriage with Xinrong, but the requirement was that Xiaoyanzi must be brought into the mansion immediately three days after the wedding.
Xinrong did not have much objection to this.
In exchange, Xinrong asked for him to give her enough respect as the legal wife in front of others and at home. She would not ask for his favor, she just wanted respect.
This is not difficult, and Xiaoyanzi is definitely not able to adapt to any large occasions. In such occasions, Yongqi really needs a decent wife like Xinrong.
In fact, as long as you make the most difficult choice, it will be easy to retreat step by step and lower your bottom line bit by bit.
Hearing Yongqi's full agreement, Xinrong nodded in satisfaction, "It's a deal then. From now on, I'll take care of the household expenses, and I'll treat Xiaoyanzi well. I won't treat her badly in terms of daily food and clothing. But you have to teach her to respect me. If you can't teach her well, I don't mind teaching her for you."
Hearing Xinrong being so rude, Yongqi got a little nervous. "Oh, don't say that. If you just treat Xiaoyanzi with courtesy, she won't go against you for no reason."
Xinrong didn't believe this. She tilted her head and looked at Yongqi with a slight smile.
Yongqi immediately understood the meaning in her eyes, as if to say, do you believe this?
Obviously Xinrong knew about Xiaoyanzi's heroic deeds in the palace, and he suddenly felt a little guilty.
"Okay, Xinrong, I will definitely try my best to teach her well, please don't be too harsh."
Xinrong nodded: "I'm not an old nanny, so I won't be too harsh. It's fine as long as we don't interfere with each other."
Yongqi nodded repeatedly, he was sure he could balance it.
After saying this, Xinrong had nothing more to say to Yongqi, so she stood up and said goodbye. It was more pleasant to chat with Concubine Yu.
Watching Xinrong leave, Yongqi slowly relaxed. Why did he feel that Xinrong was becoming more and more like his mother? It seemed that his mother had found another mother for him.
Thinking of this, Yongqi felt a little distressed.
The reason he was willing to cooperate now was because Concubine Yu promised him that if he behaved well, she would let him go out to see Xiaoyanzi before the wedding.
Yongqi was using this aspect to explain his helplessness to Xiaoyanzi. Otherwise, if he didn't show up and suddenly got married, Xiaoyanzi would be heartbroken and would definitely hate him.
But these past few days, he always felt something was wrong, as if something was about to happen.
This was mainly manifested in the fact that the young palace maids and eunuchs in Yonghe Palace were always talking in whispers, but when he approached, they scattered like birds and beasts, and when he asked about them, they only revealed some trivial gossip.
But the more this happened, the more Yongqi felt something was wrong.
Thinking of this, he quietly stood up, perhaps he could secretly eavesdrop on the conversation between Xinrong and his mother.
Concubine Yu and Xinrong always chatted in the main hall, which was mostly guarded by palace maids. If he got close, he would be discovered. Yongqi turned around twice and came up with a solution.
He quietly dodged the palace servants, climbed onto the roof from the side hall, and then quietly sneaked onto the roof of the main hall.
Fortunately, he has been behaving well recently, so there are no eight hundred pairs of eyes staring at him like before.
At this moment, a young eunuch was replying to Concubine Yu.
Yongqi couldn't hear clearly and could only hear intermittent words about injustice, redress, exile, etc.
After the eunuch left, Concubine Yu was a little angry. "That little Yanzi is worthy of being a county lady? This is not how you compensate her. This is really flattering her. Do you think the emperor still cares about her?"
Although Concubine Yu was referring to her daughter, this statement was too ambiguous, and Xinrong quickly waved her hand to stop her.
Concubine Yu also realized that she was too emotional. She raised her hand to signal the palace maid to go out and took her daughter-in-law aside to have a private conversation.
Xinrong groaned in her heart. The more she got to know her future mother-in-law, the more she realized that Concubine Yu dared to say outrageous things in private. She was even a little afraid to listen to what she said.
At this moment, there was a bang, followed by the little palace maid's scream.
The door was pushed open heavily, and Yongqi stood at the door with a grim face.
