The purpose of going out is to have some fun and relax, so naturally there will be no big crowd. The clothes are dressed as simply as possible, and there are only a few people around. Of course, this is only on the surface.
Nowadays, even if couples walk on the street, their behavior will not be very intimate. Even holding hands may be considered indecent. But Xiaocao is different. When she was ignorantly exposed to the outside world, she was exposed to things that were completely different from this world. Those things are deeply rooted in her bones and are unlikely to be erased.
Even when outside, it is normal for couples to hold hands and hug shoulders, so even though she knew that people were avoiding it, she didn't care too much. After all, sometimes you want to be close because you like someone.
Xiao Cao took the initiative to pull the hand of Wei Shizi, would he avoid it? Of course not, he was too happy to do so.
So along the way, whether holding hands or putting heads together and whispering, it all seemed very natural.
This attracted many people's attention, but the atmosphere between the two was extremely harmonious and warm. No one thought about blaming anything for a moment, but it aroused a lot of feelings instead.
They had the opportunity to be so simple and undisturbed by external affairs from time to time in the past, but in the more than two years since Xiaocao returned to the Wenren Family, these opportunities have become rare. However, although Xiaocao is a workaholic, at times like this, unless something very important happens, he will enjoy himself to the fullest and will not deliberately ruin his mood.
Everything went smoothly for most of the afternoon without encountering anything that affected her mood. Xiaocao also showed her "natural nature" and bought things along the way. Although they were actually just insignificant little things, some of them were even worth only a few copper coins, which was completely inconsistent with Xiaocao's identity as a "super rich woman", but as long as she was happy, no one would mind.
To be honest, Xiaocao never found shopping fun in the past. She would rather stand next to the operating table for dozens of hours than suffer meaningless fatigue. But today, it seemed that this was not the case at all. She was not even aware of the problem and was always happy and energetic.
—If the brothers and sisters at home who have taken Xiaocao out for shopping saw it, they would probably be dissatisfied. It’s not that they have no interest in shopping, it’s simply that the people who are with them are not right.
Most men are averse to this activity, but Prince Wei was obviously enjoying accompanying his wife shopping. Obviously, if there was someone else around, they would definitely be very impatient and would have walked away long ago.
After returning to the Marquis of Pingyang's mansion with the spoils, not long after entering the house, a servant came to report that the Marquis had drunk too much last night and now had signs of a stroke, and the Marquis's wife wanted to ask the princess to go over and take a look.
Xiaocao didn't know about what happened to Marquis Pingyang last night, but she suspected that there was something fishy going on. She just didn't ask too much about it. Now that her mother-in-law has sent someone to invite her, she naturally has to give her face.
Wei Tingyu's expression was calm, but the joy in his eyes faded a little.
But now the so-called father showed signs of a stroke, so this could not be false. Wei Tingyu could probably guess why his mother asked Xuan'er to go over. After all, Xuan'er had just married into the family, and if the news spread that Pingyang Hou was seriously ill, it would be very detrimental to her reputation.
At another time, the wife of Marquis Pingyang might have just caused Marquis Pingyang to have a stroke. People with limited mobility can always avoid trouble.
The couple first met the wife of Marquis Pingyang, who briefly told them the situation and gave them a vague explanation.
Xiao Cao's fingertips moved slightly, "Stroke is a disease that is difficult to treat, so..."
Madam Pingyang Hou glanced at Xiaocao meaningfully. She clearly understood what Xiaocao meant. "Good boy, you are a doctor. Just do your best. Don't worry about the rest."
Xiaocao pursed her lips and nodded. She didn't like it and couldn't do anything roundabout. This was probably her limit.
Wei Tingyu stood aside, saying nothing, acting like a quiet handsome man.
Marquis Pingyang woke up not long after he fell into a coma, and seemed to be doing fine in all aspects. His wife did not call a doctor for him, and certainly had no intention of sending him to the hospital. Marquis Pingyang was obviously angry again, and he felt that his wife wanted him dead. The more she did this, the more he didn't want her to do so. After some psychological adjustment, he was actually no longer angry.
After hearing what the wife of Marquis Pingyang said, Xiaocao naturally tried her best during the treatment and told Marquis Pingyang that it was not a big deal and he would be fine after taking medicine for a few days. Marquis Pingyang was a little bit unconvinced at first and thought that his wife, son, and daughter-in-law were a group of people who wanted him to die soon. However, after Xiaocao gave him acupuncture, he wanted to refuse, but was stared at coldly by Wei Tingyu. After a moment of anger, he decisively chose to know the situation. His body was obviously much more relaxed, and Marquis Pingyang's suspicion of Xiaocao was reduced a lot.
The situation was not serious and it didn't take much effort.
On the way back, Wei Tingyu took Xiaocao for a walk and said, "Xuan'er, just be yourself. There's no need to dirty your hands for irrelevant people." Wei Tingyu naturally heard that Xiaocao wanted to do something to Pingyang Hou before. "He has his mother there."
As for Marquis Pingyang, his wife would not even allow Wei Tingyu to do anything. After all, that was against filial piety. But as his "bedside man", it was much easier for her to do anything.
"Before, I was worried whether my mother would become a nun, but now it seems that she will not have such an idea for the time being."
She never let go of her ties with Marquis Pingyang easily.
