Chapter 568 Everything is fine in the manor
After thinking for a moment, A Shuang continued, "Granny Fang and Steward Yang also asked me to tell the old lady that they feel ashamed of their actions and have no face to face you in this life. They asked me to convey their apologies to you."
Qiao Qinghe sighed, waved her hand, and said she didn't want to hear anything more about the Yang family.
"What's the situation at the Marquis of Annan's residence?" Qiao Qinghe changed the subject. "Judging by the dates, the Marquis of Annan's family should have already been executed, right?"
Ah Shuang nodded: "Yes, the execution took place on the third day after you fell into a coma. The Third Madam also handled the funeral arrangements for the Feng family."
At this point, Ah Shuang suddenly remembered something and quickly said, "Madam, I've thought of something, but I don't know if I should say it."
Qiao Qinghe glanced at A Shuang in surprise. A Shuang rarely spoke so ambiguously. She then nodded and said, "Go ahead."
With permission, Ah Shuang hesitated before speaking: "On the second day after you fell into a coma, the same day I reported your coma to the First Madam, the Third Madam took the two children to the Dali Temple."
"The Third Madam didn't say exactly what she did. This servant doesn't know either."
"However, the Third Madam was not in a good mood after she returned."
She remembered that on the day the Third Madam went to Dali Temple with the Old Madam, the Third Madam was clearly relaxed and carefree when she returned.
But after she went to Dali Temple again, she returned to her previous state of being preoccupied, depressed, and repressed.
However, she had to take care of the unconscious old lady, and as a maid, she had no right to ask her mistress anything.
So she simply made a mental note of it.
Upon hearing this, Qiao Qinghe frowned slightly. "Yue Rou went to the Dali Temple to see the Lady of Annan again?"
Now that everything has been explained, what else is she going to do?
Could it be that they suspect her coma is related to Lady Annam? That's why they went to question her?
But if that's the case, why did she seem so preoccupied after returning? Her unconsciousness has nothing to do with Lady Annam.
If it wasn't for this, then what was it for?
Ah Shuang asked cautiously, "Madam, should I invite the Third Madam over?"
Qiao Qinghe shook her head. "No need. If something really happens, she'll tell me herself. Just pretend you don't know anything."
"Yes," A Shuang replied respectfully.
She was only speaking out of her duty; as for how to handle the situation, that was entirely up to the old lady.
After having her meal, Qiao Qinghe took another nap.
This time, A Shuang stayed by the bedside, checking on her every now and then to see if she made any move. Half an hour later, A Shuang woke her up without hesitation.
Having slept too much these past few days, Qiao Qinghe hadn't actually slept much this time, but after dozing off for a while, she felt much better than when she had just woken up.
I checked the time; it should be around mid-afternoon.
After getting up, washing up, and getting dressed, Qiao Qinghe walked around the yard to regain her strength. Then, with the help of Ashuang and Zhuxi, she went to see Weijia's child.
The baby is over a month old now, and has shed its wrinkled appearance, becoming fair and adorable.
What surprised Qiao Qinghe the most was that the child looked no different from a normal child, and there was no sign of illness or weakness.
After asking, I learned that since the child was born, Mu Jin had been living in the mansion, personally taking care of the child and the wet nurse's diet and care.
Mu Jin personally handled everything from prescribing the medicine, getting the medicine, and decocting it. She would also watch over the wet nurse as she drank the medicine, and then set a time for the wet nurse to breastfeed the child.
Because the baby was newly born and had a weak digestive system, it was not advisable to administer medication directly. This was the only method Mu Jin could use to help regulate the baby's body.
Over the past month, the wet nurse has taken countless medications.
Fortunately, these medicines were also beneficial to the wet nurse's health, and the Qiao family promised her many benefits, so the wet nurse happily agreed.
According to Mu Jin, in another two months, the child should be just like any other child.
Hearing this, Qiao Qinghe was genuinely happy and grateful to Mu Jin.
He immediately instructed Ah Shuang to write it down and prepare a generous gift to send to the people in Three-Foot Lane.
"By the way, have you named the child yet?"
Qiao Qinghe looked at the little guy sleeping peacefully in the crib, her eyes and brows full of smiles.
Wei Jia smiled gently at the child, "I've given the child a nickname, Xingxing. The formal name will be given to the child by the mother after she wakes up."
Wake up... You know what this name means without me even having to say it.
Qiao Qinghe reached out and touched Wei Jia's head. "I'm sorry to have worried you these past few days."
Wei Jia smiled and shook her head at Qiao Qinghe, saying sincerely, "I'm fine. It's good that Mother has woken up."
Qiao Qinghe thought about it seriously for a moment, "How about we name the child Qiao Zhen? What do you think?"
Wei Jia smiled and nodded: "Cherish it, value it, and you will cherish it forever. I think this name is excellent."
"I'm glad you like it."
Qiao Qinghe looked at the child again, "Because of my situation, the baby's third birthday ceremony and full moon celebration were not held. Now that I'm awake, I will definitely hold a big celebration for the little guy when he turns 100."
“Mother, there’s really no need to go to all that trouble,” Wei Jia said with a smile, though she didn’t actually care about such things.
"It's no trouble. You should rest well later. Let Yue Rou and Rong Rong take care of things, and let He Shi help them out."
Since Qiao Qinghe had said so, Wei Jia naturally wouldn't argue anymore, and immediately said with a smile, "I'll listen to Mother."
Qiao Qinghe nodded in satisfaction, "That's right."
After leaving Weijia, Qiao Qinghe went to visit Qiao Jin and Qiao Yu, the two siblings, with Feng Yuerou.
When the two little ones saw her arrive, they were stunned and it took them a long time before they dared to approach her.
After confirming that she was really awake and that she was still the grandmother who loved and cared for them, the two of them became affectionate with Qiao Qinghe again.
After playing with the two children for a while, Qiao Qinghe got a little tired, so she got up to return to the main courtyard.
During this time, Feng Yuerou hesitated several times before finally saying nothing.
Qiao Qinghe wouldn't force anyone, so she pretended not to see it.
Only after personally seeing her out of the courtyard did Feng Yuerou seem to make up her mind. She gritted her teeth, lowered her voice, and said, "Mother, after you've finished dealing with Princess Qi, I have something I want to say to you."
She thought Feng Yuerou was hesitant to tell her because she didn't want to. Unexpectedly, Feng Yuerou's hesitation stemmed from her worry that her words would burden her.
That's why I'll wait until things at Prince Qi's residence are resolved before telling her.
This isn't about being wary of her, it's about caring for her.
Qiao Qinghe smiled, a genuine smile.
"good."
Qiao Qinghe responded cheerfully and turned to return to the main courtyard.
While she was unconscious, the household was well managed by Wei Jia and Madam He, and there was nothing to worry about.
Next, she needed to think about her trip to Prince Qi's residence the next day.
