It was still early. Although Qingtian had lain down, she had not fallen asleep yet. She was telling Mrs. Ye the story that Qin Hexuan had read to her that day.
As soon as Boss Ye opened the door, Qingtian heard the voice, turned around and immediately shouted happily: "Dad is back!"
Mrs. Ye was lying with her back to the door. She stood up in surprise and asked, "Why are you back so early?"
She stood up and went to help Boss Ye, but she found that he didn't smell of alcohol. She was even more surprised and asked, "Didn't you drink?"
"Don't mention it. Tonight is very strange." Boss Ye said as he quickly took off his clothes and hung them carefully behind the door. After changing into his own clothes, he finally felt comfortable. "Do you still remember that man from the capital who came to our village with the head constable?"
Before Sister Ye could recall anything, Qingtian spoke up, "I remember the captain of the police said he was Mr. Zhan from the Ministry of Agriculture."
"Yes, that's the gentleman." Boss Ye didn't know what kind of officials these people were, he just knew that they were all officials.
"What's wrong? Did he make things difficult for you?" asked Mrs. Ye.
"No, he also attended the celebration banquet today. He seemed to have drunk too much and suddenly rushed out and beat up our county magistrate."
"Ah?" Mrs. Ye covered her mouth in surprise.
Although Mrs. Ye has met some dignitaries now, for her, the county magistrate is a very high-ranking official.
"Why? Is there any grudge between them?" Mrs. Ye asked.
Boss Ye shook his head and said, "Who knows! At that time, Lord Guo was talking to our county magistrate, and he even said that after the New Year he might go to Beijing to serve as an official.
"As he was speaking, Mr. Zhan suddenly rushed over and punched the county magistrate in the left eye. Then the two of them rolled to the ground, grabbing each other.
"The county magistrate was caught off guard and was struck several times by Lord Zhan. When he was pulled away, not only was his eye black and blue, but several parts of his face were red and swollen. There was even blood at the corner of his mouth. I don't know if his mouth was broken or his teeth were knocked out."
"So serious?" Mrs. Ye had thought it was just a simple friction, but she didn't expect it to be so serious. Her eyes widened in surprise.
Although Qingtian didn't understand why they were fighting, he listened attentively while holding the quilt, planning to tell Qin Hexuan about it tomorrow.
Brother Qin read several stories to her during the day, and she will also tell stories to Brother Qin tomorrow.
What is the conflict between Lord Zhan and the county magistrate?
Boss Ye and his wife speculated aimlessly for a long time but still couldn't get to the point.
After all, such official affairs were beyond their imagination.
When they finally stopped guessing, Qingtian, who was lying between them, had fallen asleep under the gentle patting of Mrs. Ye.
Boss Ye gently touched Qingtian's forehead with his to confirm that she did not have a fever. Then he lay back down and whispered to Sister Ye, "Just sleep peacefully. I'll be watching over you."
Mrs. Ye had already determined that the fever she had on a sunny day must have been related to Boss Ye's encounter with a tiger in the mountains.
Now that her husband and child were by her side, she no longer felt worried.
But in this kind of situation, it's better to be safe than sorry.
So when Boss Ye said he would guard it, Sister Ye did not refuse and just said, "If anything goes wrong on Qingtian, wake me up immediately."
"Don't worry!" Boss Ye responded.
But Qingtian slept soundly all night. Not only did he suffer from a fever, he even rarely tossed and turned.
The next morning, Qingtian woke up feeling incredibly energetic. Before even getting out of bed, he shouted, "Mom, I'm hungry!"
"Then let your father help you wash up, and mother will go to make breakfast for you." Mrs. Ye agreed readily, but she couldn't help but wonder in her heart whether Young Master Qin would bring breakfast again today.
As she was just thinking about this, there was a knock on the door, and then Song Tao's voice came in, saying, "Uncle Ye, Aunt Ye, I'm here to bring breakfast to Miss Qingtian on the orders of the young master."
"We don't have to do it now." Mrs. Ye had no choice but to put on her clothes and go out to open the door.
"Isn't he making too much again?" Mrs. Ye was a little scared when she saw the food boxes in Song Tao's and the servant's hands behind him.
Although there should be no waste now that Boss Ye is here, she is well aware of the pain of cooking only a little of each dish, and she can't help but feel sorry for the servants in the Qin Mansion's kitchen.
Fortunately, Song Tao said, "Auntie Ye, don't worry. Today I only made a few dishes that Miss Qingtian said were delicious yesterday.
"The young master knew that Uncle Ye was back, and he specifically told the kitchen to cook more!"
Song Tao led his men into the house, set the table, and asked, "Miss Qingtian, did you sleep well last night? Did you have a fever again?"
"My young master has specially gone to personally invite Imperial Physician Ying to come and check Miss Qingtian's pulse again."
When Mrs. Ye heard this, she was so grateful that she didn't know what to do.
What she was most worried about was Qingtian's health. Although she looked fine now, she was still afraid that she might have developed some chronic illness.
After all, Qingtian suffered a lot of abuse when he was in the Shan family. Who knows what hidden dangers he has left behind.
Seeing that the breakfast on the table was all his favorites, Qingtian became even happier.
You know, there were so many kinds of breakfast yesterday, and in order to let her try more, Qin Hexuan only let her have one bite of each and then moved away.
She couldn't even eat more than two bites of many of her favorite dishes.
Now she saw her favorite foods all in front of her, and the quantity was much larger than yesterday. The most important thing was that without Brother Qin staring at her, she could finally eat whatever she wanted.
