Upon receiving the tip from the little maid, the chief of guard Ying Zheng, his two sisters-in-law, sister-in-law Shen Zangning and Ji Chunmian sent Ji Qubing away and returned to the main hall to discuss.
The faces of all five people were very ugly. Not only was Shen Lianshi's cruelty shocking, but more importantly, after Ji Qubing's diagnosis, it was confirmed that Shen Shuyan's heart had been severely damaged, especially her lungs.
"What else can I do? This kick by the second master of the house is really beautiful. As long as you are a human being, without eight lifetimes of blood feud, you will definitely not use such a vicious kick on a little girl who has not yet reached the age of cardamom. From now on. If the fourth lady does not take medicine for several years and has a good health, it is not impossible for her to develop tuberculosis."
Faced with Wei Changying's urgent inquiries about whether there was a cure and what to do, Ji Qubing, whose temper seemed much better after finding Ji Gu and other relatives and having a son, once again returned to the mean and cruel temperament he had been a few years ago. In a sarcastic tone, he said in a neutral tone, "Let the Fourth Young Master take care of you. If you have to deal with the Second Master's family problems next time, you don't have to look for me. Just prepare for the funeral."
These words made all the three wives and one aunt of the Shen family blush, and none of them could say anything to smooth things over.
Or Ji Chunmian frowned and asked, "Brother, is it really so serious?"
Ji Qubing's treatment of his own family members was different after all. His tone immediately became gentle and kind, and he sighed: "Sister, you also know that this young lady has always been pampered. Such a delicate little girl raised in a boudoir cannot withstand the torment. What's more, the person who did this didn't have any time to spare. If you had been a step too late, even I might not have been able to save her life, let alone anything else!"
He shook his head and said, "Just rest and don't get up within a month. Even those who serve should try their best not to move... Fortunately, this lady is still young, so I will try my best not to let her get the root of the disease. "
Before the words were spoken, Wei Changying and others burst into tears. Su Yuyin, who finally got permission to give birth to his unborn child, was especially sad and sobbed: "Xie'er suffered such a big crime because he was in the imperial capital before. The people of Yan'er escaped from the disaster in Xiliang, but we didn't expect that such a disaster would happen now!"
"For such an unkind father, if you ask me, this fourth lady of your family, it would be better for her to go with Mrs. Duanmu in the imperial capital and suffer less!" Ji Qubing snorted coldly and said happily.
... After sending this unpleasant-tongued miracle doctor away, the five of them returned to the hall to discuss it. In fact, there was nothing to discuss. The most important thing right now was to take good care of Shen Shuyan.
Huo Qingling, who was frail and sickly himself, would definitely not be able to shoulder this responsibility.
But Ji Qubing said again that Shen Shuyan's heart was damaged and she could not move easily.
"Third sister-in-law and sister-in-law Ji have to take care of the family affairs, so they can't come here often. Fifth sister-in-law and sixth sister-in-law are not in good health these days, so I'm afraid they won't be able to take care of them." Shen Zangning, who has been quiet these days, asked for help. , "Anyway, Sixth Brother doesn't live here anymore, so I'll move here to be with Yan'er."
"No." After Wei Changying thought for a moment, he rejected Shen Zangning and said, "There are only less than ten days left in the day. According to the wishes of Miracle Doctor Ji, Yan'er's recuperation will not be short. After the beginning of spring, I'm afraid, The Gu family will send someone to agree on the wedding date. Fourth sister, you have to prepare for marriage. This is a major event in your life and we cannot delay you. "
Shen Zangning frowned and said: "Then who will take care of Yan'er? Doctor Ji said that if one person cannot take care of Yan'er, Yan'er will be in this life..." Even if the legitimate daughter of the Shen family has an extraordinary status, if she is a sick child, how many people are willing to take care of her? Married? Even if she reluctantly marries, how can she not hire a concubine to continue her children and preside over the family... With Shen Shuyan's mentality, how can she live such a life
"Let Jing'er live here." Wei Changying said calmly, "Jing'er has always been careful and considerate. We all know this and can rest assured. Moreover, Yan'er has always been attached to her as the eldest sister. With Jing'er watching, she is not afraid of what's going on underneath. If people are lazy, Yan'er will be in a better mood."
It is true that Shen Shuyan is very pitiful, and her aunts all want to help her, but the reality is that it is impossible to take care of her alone without even taking care of the housework. Not to mention delaying her aunt's exit from the government because of her.
Among the female family members, Shen Shujing is old, has a reassuring temperament, and doesn't care about many things, so she can take on this job.
Everyone had no objection to this suggestion. Although Shen Zangning had some thoughts, Su Yuyin patted the back of his hand comfortingly and remained silent.
Ji Chunmian added: "Do you want Yi Ren to come over?"
"It's better this way." Wei Changying nodded, "Yan'er has always played well with Yiren, not to mention that Jing'er alone can't always stay in front of Yan'er and not leave. But it will be hard for Yiren."
There was a faint haze in Ji Chunmian's eyes. He looked away and said with some indifference: "I don't have any sisters at home to play with, and I really want to come to Yan'er. It's not hard work."
At this time, the little maid named Xiaozhi came over and reported that Shen Zangfeng had arrived in the backyard with a very ugly face and wanted to wait for Wei Changying to go back to speak - suddenly everyone in the hall became nervous.
Because when Su Yuyin, Huo Qingling, and Shen Zangning asked what happened, they all heard Ji Chunmian say that Wei Changying had been scolded by Shen Zangfeng in public, and now he was worried that she would continue to be scolded after returning.
Su Yuyin said, "I haven't been to Third Sister-in-law for a long time. I'll go over with Third Sister-in-law later to talk, and I'll also meet Third Brother."
As she spoke, she looked at Shen Zangning. Shen Zangning would not just sit back and watch. She nodded and said, "I'll go too!"
Even Huo Qingling coughed a few times and seemed to want to bring it up. Wei Changying hurriedly said: "What are you anxious about? Can your third brother still eat me? Or am I just so easy to bully? Don't join in the fun, little ambassador My daughter has told me, but your third brother didn’t say that he came to me in an emergency—let’s talk about Yan’er first and let him wait!”
Having said that, everyone was very worried that the third room would quarrel because of this matter today, so they discussed the details. Everyone said that they could just wait until Shen Shujing and Ji Yiren came to take care of them, and then they could fill in whatever was missing. In one sentence, the matter was settled.
After Wei Changying carried Shen Shuxie, who was sleeping on Huo Qingling's bed, into the sedan, Su Yuyin and Shen Zangning offered to accompany her back, just in case Shen Zangfeng continued to vent his anger as the messenger girl said. She, with her pregnant cousin and sister-in-law, could also soften her cheeks for her sister-in-law.
But Wei Changying refused and forced Shen Zangning to send Su Yuyin back first... After the sister-in-law and sister-in-law were driven away, Huo Qingling was also sent back to the house to take shelter by Wei Changying.
Ji Chunmian stepped forward and said with a half-smile, "I don't think Lord Shen is as confused as the Second Master."
"It's all thanks to you, Sister Ji, today." Wei Changying sighed, "There are a lot of things going on right now, and I can't thank you enough... From now on, if you have anything to do, please just give me your instructions."
"It's nothing. You can go back. I just saw half of the account book and Aunt He called me to go ahead. Now I have to go back and clean it up quickly to avoid being asked to do anything." Ji Chunmian brushed his hair, pursed his lips and said with a smile, "But, after what happened today, it's hard to say how long I can help you."
Wei Changying narrowed his eyes: "Sister, didn't you say that? My husband is not a fool. If it weren't for you, sister, Yan'er would probably... If he did this and blamed you for hurting his second brother, I wouldn't agree. He is willing to give up!”
"I come from a humble background, so don't make it too difficult." Ji Chunmian shook his head and said, "Anyway, the New Year is approaching, and Aunt Huang came back after the spring, so she doesn't think she has to ask for my help."
After saying this, she left.
Wei Changying looked at her back, sighed, turned around and got into the sedan: "Go back."
Returning to the courtyard where he lived, the gatekeeper was waiting on the sedan chair. After Wei Changying came down with Shen Shuxie, who was wrapped tightly in fox fur, he asked her: "Is your husband still here?"
"Here he is!" the mother-in-law whispered, "It's in the Fourth Young Master's room! I just asked someone to come out and ask for tea."
Just as Wei Changying was about to speak, the door to the side room not far away opened. The young man poked his head in and immediately turned around to tell the people in the room: "My wife is back with the Fourth Young Master."
After a while, Shen Zangfeng stepped out in person and saw his wife holding her second son in her arms. She walked down the court in a few steps and took Shen Shuxie over. She frowned and said, "It's time for our yard to have a glazed roof, wrapped in fox fur." After all, it’s not as warm as burning earth dragons all over the courtyard.”
"Let's wait until next year. What's going on in the past two years?" Wei Changying reminded him that he was still in the period of filial piety.
"In the spring of next year, I will find the craftsman who worked for my eldest sister's yard and make a similar one for our yard." Shen Zangfeng nodded.
While chatting about trivial matters, the couple carried Shen Shuxie one by one into the side room. The conversation was as usual. It was completely different from the rumors in the house that the wife had incurred the wrath of the lord because of the Fourth Miss incident. The lord even personally chased his wife to the backyard to question her... This made all the frightened servants in the court unable to recover.
After a while, the ambassador Lianmei shouted softly: "What are you doing here? Go and do whatever you need to do. Otherwise, when Madam comes out later and sees you all gathered here, will you all want to be punished?"
In the side room, the couple did not mention that Shen Zangfeng had scolded Wei Changying just now.
After placing Shen Shuxie on the couch, Shen Zangfeng asked his wife in a low voice: "How is Yan'er?"
"The situation is very bad." Wei Changying looked solemn, conveying Ji Qubing's words in detail, and said sadly, "My good boy, I don't know how much suffering I will have to endure right now! The most worrying thing is that even Ji Qubing's miracle doctor There’s no guarantee that she won’t get the disease.”
Shen Zangfeng's expression was also very serious, and after a moment he sighed: "As of now, let's just let others take good care of him, but I hope God will bless him so that he can be healthy as usual."
Wei Changying thought to himself that Shen Shuyan was eleven years old and would be twelve soon. She was not a child who was only one or two years old and didn't remember much. After this experience today, even if my body gets better in the future, will my heart still be the same
After a moment of silence, she said: "Second brother is going too far."
"Second brother is also bitter in his heart." Shen Zangfeng said in a harsh voice, "It is difficult for second brother to have children. After Yi'er passed away, he thought that even if he married again in the future, he might not be able to have children. He just mentioned to me that he would like to have children from us in the future. Several of them have adopted step-heirs... In short, the second sister-in-law killed her son with her own hands, which greatly broke the second brother's heart. "
"It wasn't Yan'er who did it. How could any father do this?" Wei Changying said lightly, and then smiled bitterly, "I know it's useless to say this. If my second brother can listen to such advice, he won't That’s it for today—forget it, let’s talk about Sister Ji, what are you going to do?”
She looked at her husband and said, "Let's make a deal first. If there is no sister Ji today, Yan'er will definitely be gone. If you still want to accuse her of what you said before, I won't comply." (To be continued.) )
