"Please ask any doctor, Yaoyao is at home, no doctor is as useful as her." Pei Shi said, taking the child from Su Xiaoxiao's arms, "Yaoyao, take a quick look."
Ye Zhen glanced at Su Xiaoxiao, then looked down at the chubby child in Pei's arms, his face was flushed because he cried so much.
"Brother Lan, what's wrong?" Ye Zhen took his hand, put her fingertips on her pulse, and asked with a smile.
"It's normal for a child to cry a few times, just coax him for a while." Su Xiaoxiao said beside her, wanting to hug her son back.
Pei frowned and said, "Xiao Xiao, I used to be a medical practitioner. Brother Lan's behavior doesn't look like he's crying. He's never had such a fuss."
Brother Lan didn't answer Ye Zhen's words at all, but just cried louder and louder.
"Mother, give me Brother Lan." Ye Zhen said.
Su Xiaoxiao frowned slightly and looked at Ye Zhen, feeling a complicated feeling in her heart.
"It should be because his stomach is uncomfortable. His hands have been scratching his stomach." Ye Zhen said, "Did he eat something?"
"I just ate some pumpkin porridge in the morning." Su Xiaoxiao said, "The servants dare not give him anything to eat."
At this time, a maid said tremblingly, "Young Mistress, Brother Lan secretly ate a piece of chestnut cake."
Su Xiaoxiao's face changed slightly, "Why do you look at the young master?"
Ye Zhen said, "I'll go to dispense the medicine, just give Brother Lan a drink. It should be a little bit of indigestion and stomachache."
"I'll hold the baby, and you go to dispense the medicine." Mrs. Pei said with a sullen face.
"Okay." Ye Zhen gave the child to Pei Shi. Because of Pei Shi's relationship, the family has always had a pharmacy, and it is very convenient for Ye Zhen to dispense medicine.
Su Xiaoxiao walked over with her head down, "Mother, Brother Lan is too heavy, I'd better hold him."
Mrs. Pei handed the child to her, and looked at Su Xiaoxiao calmly, "Even if Yaoyao is no longer the empress, she is still the aunt of the family, brother Lan's biological aunt."
"Mother..." Su Xiaoxiao's face turned pale, her small mouth trembled a few times, and she looked nervously at Mrs. Pei.
"She just cares about Brother Lan." Mrs. Pei said lightly.
Su Xiaoxiao was nervous and scared. She didn't really have any thoughts about Ye Zhen, but... she would think of Mingyu when she saw her, and felt sad and wronged for Mingyu in her heart. It was inevitable that she couldn't hide her emotions. Unexpectedly, Mrs. Pei could see it at a glance.
"Whether it's me or Xiangzhi, we both regard Yaoyao as a family member." Mrs. Pei emphasized her tone.
Su Xiaoxiao whispered, "Mother, I know, I just think of Mingyu..."
"Mingyu doesn't need you to feel wronged for her. You don't know what happened to Yaoyao, how do you know that she abandoned Mingyu on purpose? You don't know anything, don't let Xiangzhi be a bad person." Pei said coldly.
"Mom, I know I was wrong." Su Xiaoxiao said.
Mrs. Pei glanced at her. She has always been very satisfied with this daughter-in-law. Not only is she gentle, but she is also filial and obedient. Today is probably because Brother Lan has been crying and is in a bad mood. When she sees Ye Zhen, she thinks of Mingyu again. The loneliness in the past two years, that's why I didn't hide my face.
She softened her tone, "You are also a mother, you should understand Yaoyao's mood."
"Yes." Su Xiaoxiao replied in a low voice.
Ye Zhen was standing silently on the other side of the corridor, still some distance away from the room, but she could clearly hear Pei Shi and Su Xiaoxiao's words, this is the benefit after practicing.
She felt that Su Xiaoxiao's attitude towards her was a bit strange today, so it was because of this.
Mingyu used to like Su Xiaoxiao very much and kept saying that she would go out of the palace to find her little aunt. Su Xiaoxiao felt sorry for Mingyu and thought she had abandoned Mingyu, so she must have resisted her in her heart.
Ye Zhen smiled and shook her head, she didn't feel angry, someone cared so much about her daughter, it can be seen that Mingyu has not been so helpless in the past four years.
"Mother, the medicine is ready." Ye Zhen spoke before entering the room.
Pei Shi glanced at Su Xiaoxiao, and neither of them spoke again.
"Yaoyao, quickly feed Brother Lan the medicine." Mrs. Pei urged.
"Okay." Ye Zhen nodded with a smile, and fed Brother Lan one mouthful of medicine. She added Lingquan to it, and the pain should be gone soon.
Brother Lan stopped crying not long after drinking the medicine, and fell asleep in Su Xiaoxiao's arms.
"Finally stopped crying." Pei Shi breathed a sigh of relief, and smiled at Ye Zhen, "You still have a way."
"The child is crying, it must be something uncomfortable." Ye Zhen said, "Hurry up and put the child to sleep."
Su Xiaoxiao glanced at Ye Zhen and said in a low voice, "Thank you... auntie."
Ye Zhen smiled faintly, "Don't be too far-fetched, we are all one family."
"That's right, thank you for what the family said." Mrs. Pei said with a smile.
At this time, a maid outside came in to report, saying that the uncle had returned.
"Brother is back, so Ah Zhan should be too. I'll go to Ah Zhan first." Ye Zhen said.
When Ye Zhen went out, she happened to meet Lu Xiangzhi who was rushing over.
"Yaoyao, how is Brother Lan?" Lu Xiangzhi asked nervously. He heard that Brother Lan was crying non-stop when he entered the house, so he hurried over to have a look.
"It's much better, fortunately there is Yaoyao." Pei said with a smile.
Ye Zhen asked, "Brother, did Ah Zhan come back with you?"
"He stayed in Prince Qin's Mansion and didn't come back." Lu Xiangzhi said.
"Then... I'll go find him." Ye Zhen thought for a while.
Mrs. Pei still wanted to talk to her daughter Bingzhu night tonight, but since Murong Zhan stayed in the Qin Palace, she couldn't leave Yaoyao behind, "Then you should go find my uncle first, and come home tomorrow .”
Ye Zhen smiled and nodded, "Okay."
Watching Ye Zhen leave, Pei said flatly, "Go and see your son, I should go too."
"Mother, what's the matter?" Lu Xiangzhi noticed that Pei's tone was not right, and asked in a low voice.
"It's nothing, let's go see Brother Lan." Mrs. Pei said lightly, and left without saying anything.
Lu Xiangzhi frowned, and walked into the room, Su Xiaoxiao just came out to meet him.
"Where's Brother Lan?" Lu Xiangzhi asked.
"I've already fallen asleep, mother left?" Su Xiaoxiao took off the brocade robe for Lu Xiangzhi, her face was still tense, she seemed very nervous.
Lu Xiangzhi held her hand, "What happened?"
Su Xiaoxiao glanced at him, and told him in a low voice about her inability to control her emotions just now, "...I just feel wronged for Mingyu, such a small child doesn't have a mother by her side."
"Do you think Yaoyao is a person who is willing to leave the child behind?" Lu Xiangzhi asked in a deep voice, "Little Xiao, you don't understand the truth."
"I already knew I was wrong." Su Xiaoxiao said in a low voice.
Lu Xiangzhi patted her on the shoulder, "Yaoyao is a generous person, she won't take it to heart, next time I see her, I'll explain it to her."
