Cui Mansion
Qiao'er, Xiao Liu's maidservant who came with her as a dowry, entered the room carrying a basket of 'Shanyuan oranges'.
Xiao Liu reached into the basket and rummaged through it, then took out a piece of paper. She glanced at it, a look of delight on her face, and threw the paper into the teapot.
He stood up and said, "Prepare the car."
"Young Madam, you have used up your allowance for going out this month," the dowry nurse, Madam Wu, quickly reminded her. "You may leave the house only on the day the results are announced."
The smile on Xiao Liu's face froze instantly, and she slumped back into the soft chair.
It is like a sunflower that grows towards the sun. Without the light, it loses its vitality.
Mother Wu looked distressed and said comfortingly, "Time won't pass quickly. By the time the results are announced, it will be just a blink of an eye. By then, Sister Xi'er's body will have recovered."
"I understand." Xiao Liu said lightly, suddenly stood up and walked to the bed, leaned over to look at the sleeping Xi girl, and gently touched her eyebrows.
If you don’t have an older brother to protect you in the future, your mother will give you a younger brother to protect you.
"Mother Wu, please arrange the prescription that Madam Su gave me today."
"Alright, I'll make the arrangements right away..."
"Is there any movement over at Jianjia Courtyard?"
Wang, the third grandson's wife of the Cui family, asked the nanny beside her.
"Madam, the young lady has run out of her time to leave the house."
Wang heaved a sigh of relief. "That's great! I can now spend a few days in peace and leisure."
Every time Xiao Liu goes out, Wang has to be extremely alert!
Fortunately, she knows her limits.
Over the years, the old lady has never found fault with her.
Otherwise, even her mother-in-law cannot protect her.
Lu Yuan felt a little uneasy after waking up from his nap.
"What's wrong? A Yuan, are you feeling unwell?"
Lu Yuan glanced at the various fruits and snacks on the table that his boss Chu Yu had prepared for him to take care of his pregnancy.
"I must be hungry."
Lu Yuan sat down at the table and ate half of each of the ten kinds of fruit.
Walnuts, melon seeds, peanuts, hazelnuts, and chestnuts mixed together and ate a whole plate.
I ate a few more sugar-free cakes.
Si Chuyu saw that the food he prepared seemed not enough, "Ayuan, I will prepare some more tomorrow."
"No, this is enough."
Lu Yuan was still feeling uneasy after eating.
Worried that something might be wrong with his body, he dragged Si Chuyu to find Xiao Lingyu.
"Madam, this is the Huayang County City Defense Map that Master Si just sent over."
Su Ying handed over another letter, "There is also a list of officials of the Cui family and their in-laws who hold various positions in Huayang County."
Xiao Lingyu was very surprised that Si Chujin actually took the initiative to send these.
I think the second master of the Si family is very unhappy with the Cui family.
"Okay, go and tell Mr. Si Er to arrange for someone to investigate Chen Ji."
Su Ying nodded, "Madam, the masters of the second and fourth rooms are not at home now. I will go there in the middle of the night..."
"No need." Xiao Lingyu raised his hand. "We are guests at the Lu Mansion. It's not our turn to interfere. Master Lu will make the arrangements. If you have nothing else, you can go down."
"There's... one more thing."
Su Ying didn't know how to start. Mr. Si was making things difficult for his wife.
Xiao Lingyu frowned, a little unhappy. She was in a hurry to see her two children.
"What's the matter? Tell me now!"
Seeing Xiao Lingyu's obvious impatience, Su Ying quickly said, "Second Master Si said that you are a skilled doctor and that you will definitely find a way to ensure that Mrs. Lu has a boy this time."
?
Xiao Lingyu was very surprised. Isn't it normal for a mother-in-law to look forward to having a grandchild?
The Si family seems to be different!
"Go and tell Mr. Si Er that whether it's a boy or a girl depends on fate and can't be forced."
Su Ying thought about Si Chujin's instructions. "Second Master Si hopes that Madam will find a way to get his sister-in-law to give birth to a boy. After all, she's still a little premature... If it's a girl, the old man of the Si family will urge him to give birth to a son. If that's possible, he's willing to serve Madam wholeheartedly."
“…”
Xiao Lingyu glanced at the city defense map on the table.
What is this?
Does she have to draw Lu Yuan's blood and go to the space to identify the gender of the child?
"Go back and tell him that I'm here to ensure his sister-in-law's safety and give birth to many more children. She'll definitely have both a son and a daughter..."
"Madam," Mo Shu hurried in to announce. "Master Lu and his men are here."
"You've arrived just in time. Please come in."
As soon as Lu Yuan came in, she handed her white wrist to Xiao Lingyu.
"Xiao Yu, I'm feeling a little unwell. Please take a look at me."
Xiao Lingyu took a look at her complexion and it looked like nothing serious was wrong with her.
"Don't worry, let me take a look."
After a moment, Xiao Lingyu withdrew his hand. "You're fine. Don't overthink it. Just drink some hot water and let Ayu walk around the yard with you."
"Xiao Yu, it's not like that. I'm just a little nervous."
"Nervous?" Xiao Lingyu frowned. "What are you worried about?"
"I……"
Si Chuyu, who was standing by, suddenly realized something. "Ayuan, are you missing Jie Ge'er? Are you worried that something might happen to him when he goes to Shili Langyao?"
"Yes!" Lu Yuan nodded subconsciously.
Xiao Lingyu said, "You're just too worried. Chu Yu has arranged a large number of people to go there, and he has Wei Ying and Su Yun protecting him personally. He'll be fine. Are you still worried that your second uncle will murder him?"
After these words were spoken, the room fell silent for a moment.
Xiao Lingyu found the reason for the uneasy feeling he felt this morning.
Si Chuyu saw Lu Yuan's hands on the table clenched into fists, "Ayuan, I will arrange for someone to go to Shili Langyao and bring Jie back later."
"That's not necessary."
Lu Yuan felt that Lu Zeyi was greedy for money and would not harm Jie Ge'er's life!
