Yang Xin pursed her lips, was silent for a moment, then raised her eyes to look at Mu Xue and said sincerely, "Princess, I'm very sorry about what happened in the Marquis' Mansion this time."
After saying this, Yang Xin felt that the heavy stone that had been weighing on his heart for the past few days had finally fallen.
Qin Qianqian was confused. "What does this have to do with you?"
The Sixth Princess naturally didn't know either, and looked at Yang Xin with the same confusion.
Yang Xin's apology probably refers to her encounter with Xu Xiaoxiao and her failure to stop her from going to the Shi Mansion, which led to this incident.
Xu Xiaoxiao was determined, knowing the risks, but still determined to go. How could she stop her?
The Sixth Princess was confused, but Mu Xue suddenly understood.
"Miss Yang, do you know that my sister-in-law went to the Shi Mansion?"
Yang Xin nodded and told Xu Xiaoxiao everything that happened that day.
"It was because I failed to stop my sister-in-law that the Marquis' Mansion was criticized."
"This matter is already difficult for you," Mu Xue didn't think that if Yang Xin really stopped Xu Xiaoxiao, it would change anything. The relationship between the two was delicate. Perhaps the more Yang Xin tried to stop her, the more she would arouse Xu Xiaoxiao's rebellious psychology.
Yang Xin must have felt bad knowing this but not being able to tell her. Looking at the bruises on his face, it was clear that he hadn't rested well.
"I am ashamed of myself for being like this, Princess."
She thought that Mu Xue would not blame her if she confessed the matter, but would still be somewhat dissatisfied. However, not only was Mu Xue not dissatisfied, but she also understood her dilemma.
"Miss Yang, there's no need to feel ashamed. I would make the same choice if I were in your shoes."
Mu Xue said softly, "Both the Marquis' Mansion and my cousin are fine. My cousin took the re-examination today, and my father said he passed. He will start his post at the Ministry of Revenue from now on."
Mu Xue secretly wanted to let Yang Xin know this. Yang Xin cared about his cousin, and doing this would allow the two of them to share this joy.
"That's good."
Yang Xin spoke in a low voice.
After this matter fermented, she knew that Xu Xiaoxiao must not have told Brother Mu about it at the first time, otherwise the rumor would not have spread so quickly.
Fortunately, the Marquis' Mansion is fine, and fortunately, Brother Mu's career is saved.
But what about Xu Xiaoxiao?
Will this incident create a rift between me and Brother Mu?
Brother Mu is such a proud person. He must be very angry that he went to Shi Mansion even though he knew that the people around him didn't believe in him.
After they talked for a while, Mu Xue said, "Why don't we go to my cousin's house together?"
She heard from her father that her cousin would send her sister-in-law back to her parents' home after the assessment, so this was all she could do to help Yang Xin and her cousin.
Yang Xin stood up after hearing this and said, "I have something else to do, so I won't go with you."
[The heroine should have known that Mu Chen would send Xu Xiaoxiao back to her parents' home. So, he wanted to take Yang Xin with him. Why did Yang Xin run away?]
…
The three of them took Yu Yiluo to the Mu Mansion.
The Mu Mansion was very quiet, and the gatekeeper was nowhere to be seen.
"Is it because it's too hot that no one is guarding the door?"
Qin Qianqian looked around and found that there were no servants around.
Mu Xue was confused. Could it be that her cousin sent someone back to her sister-in-law's parents' home?
In that case, the door should be closed tightly.
While they were thinking, a maid hurriedly came towards them from the corridor.
The maidservant did not recognize the Sixth Princess, so she just bowed to Mu Xue.
"This servant greets the princess."
"Is there no one at home?"
Seeing her panicked expression, Mu Xue frowned and asked.
"What happened?"
"The young lady is ill. I am planning to call a doctor. The master, mistress, and young master are all in the young lady's yard."
The maidservant didn't dare to delay any longer. The young lady was suffering from vomiting and diarrhea, and the masters of the mansion were extremely anxious.
"Lead the way, I'll go with you."
The maid was startled, then looked embarrassed.
"I still need to go and get a doctor."
Qin Qianqian rolled her eyes.
"Sister Xue knows medicine, so do you still need to go out and find a doctor?"
Those people's medical skills are not as good as Sister Xue's.
[Why did Xu Xiaoxiao fall ill at this critical moment? Is it a coincidence? ]
Yu Yiluo was thinking about something in her mind. It wasn't her conspiracy theory, it was just too much of a coincidence.
The maid took a few people to Xu Xiaoxiao's room.
Mrs. Mu sat in front of the couch with a worried look on her face, while Mu Chen and Mu's father stood beside her with serious expressions.
Xu Xiaoxiao, lying on the couch, had a pale face and chapped lips, and seemed to be really ill.
Hearing footsteps, Madam Mu quickly turned around and asked, "Is the doctor here? Ask him to help Xiaoxiao."
Mu Xue walked out from behind the maid.
"I happened to meet the maid when I came here. There's no need to call a doctor. I'll help my sister-in-law."
When a few people noticed Mu Xue, they also saw Qin Qianqian and the Sixth Princess behind her.
Mu Chen and Mu's father recognized the Sixth Princess and bowed respectfully.
"No need to be so polite, just treat the patient first."
Xu Xiaoxiao is clearly ill, and her condition seems quite serious.
"Yes, please help Xiaoxiao with Xue'er."
Mrs. Mu remembered that Mu Chen said Mu Xue knew medical skills, so she pulled out a chair and asked her to walk to the bed.
Sitting on the chair, Mu Xue lifted Xu Xiaoxiao's hand and took her pulse.
Mrs. Mu stared at Mu Xue, and when she saw her withdraw her hand, she asked impatiently.
"Xue'er, how is Xiaoxiao?"
Mu Xue asked Mu Chen for paper and pen, and replied to Madam Mu while writing, "Don't worry, Second Aunt. My sister-in-law is just too worried and can't eat. Take the medicine according to the prescription I wrote and she will definitely recover."
Then he stood up and handed the written prescription to the maid, "Go and get the medicine and boil it."
[Luckily, it's not serious, but it looks like sending him away will have to be postponed.]
"Xue'er, is Xiaoxiao's condition really not serious? She's vomiting and having diarrhea, it's really frightening us."
Mrs. Mu was worried and asked again.
"As long as sister-in-law can drink the medicine, she will be fine within seven days."
Mu Xue glanced at Mu Chen next to her and said, "Cousin, find a way to feed the medicine to my sister-in-law."
"good."
The Sixth Princess stood for a while holding Yu Yiluo. Her wrist felt a little sore and she wanted to find a place to sit and change her hands.
"Sixth Princess, if your arms are sore, how about I help you hold the little princess?"
Qin Qianqian's eyes were full of anticipation. Finally, she found a reason to hold the little princess.
"Let me take you to the main hall."
Mu Chen took a few people out of Xu Xiaoxiao's room and headed towards the main hall.
The Sixth Princess weighed Yu Yiluo and raised her chin to Qin Qianqian, "My hands are not sore."
The two were arguing in the back, while Mu Xue and Mu Chen were walking in front.
"Xue'er, can Xiaoxiao really recover in seven days?"
He had wanted to send his cousin back to her parents' home after returning today, but before he could say anything, he heard that his cousin had fallen ill.
"If you can drink the medicine, you will naturally get better. Cousin, there is no need to be too anxious. Since Second Aunt has agreed to send the person back, why not wait a few more days?"
"Cousin already knows?"
Mu Chen sighed. If he had been more assertive, his mother might not have let his cousin into the house.
Unfortunately, it’s too late to say anything now.
My cousin became sick due to worry, probably because she knew that her mother agreed to send her away from the Mu Mansion.
