"How is my son?"
Old Lady Cui looked at the unconscious Cui Zhehan with great concern. Standing behind him were her eldest daughter-in-law Gong, her grandson's wife Rong, her grandson Cui Runyu, and her great-grandsons Cui Xun, Cui Yi, and Cui Hao.
The other masters of the Cui family all serve as officials in Beijing.
Except for Liu Yue who was under house arrest, all the female members of the Cui family were waiting at the door.
"Old Lady, the master of the family was frightened last night, and then he worked out all night long. He worked out really hard! He's injured his vitality, and he needs several months of recuperation to recover."
The person who spoke was Wu Youshu, a retired imperial physician from the Imperial Medical Bureau. He was a close confidant of Concubine Cui and now received two salaries.
"When will my son wake up?"
Wu Youshu stood up and said respectfully, "The master will wake up naturally, but he will not be as energetic as before. The prescription I prescribed requires three consecutive courses of treatment..."
Cui Zhehan is old now. If Wu Youshu had not taken care of his body in the past, he would not be so lucky today.
Madam Gong said: "Mother, your daughter-in-law will be watching over here. You can go back and rest. I will send someone to inform you when Zhehan wakes up."
Old Lady Cui glanced at the people inside and outside the house and said, "Everyone, retreat!"
Old Madam Cui was supported by Nanny Gui as she left, and the other members of the Cui family returned to their respective courtyards one after another.
"Brother Xun, your grandfather made such a big noise last night, but we didn't hear a single one of us. Tell me, is there something evil in our house? Should we call some Taoist priests to exorcise the evil spirit?"
Gong was in the next room last night. She was a light sleeper, so how could she not hear anything?
It was unbelievable that ants were smelling out scent to find someone yesterday. This morning, there were so many mice. It looked like someone was taking revenge. It was not difficult to guess who was behind this. Cui Xun was the one.
It seems that Cui Fu has offended someone he shouldn’t have!
However, dealing with the Su family is a matter of time, so there is no need to rush.
"Grandma, the most important thing right now is Grandpa's health. Don't worry, such unbelievable things won't happen again. Grandpa will make a decision when he wakes up."
Orchid Waterside Pavilion.
Su Ningjie listened to Meng Zihe's lecture absent-mindedly, glancing out the window from time to time.
Meng Zihe closed the book and said, "Okay, kids, take a break for half an incense stick of time."
After saying that, he turned around and left Lanxin Waterside Pavilion. A moment later, Wei Ying climbed in through the window.
Wei Ying whispered a few words in Su Ningjie's ear, and Su Ningjie immediately laughed out loud, with an expression as if he had succeeded in doing something bad.
Afterwards, Su Ningjie whispered the news that Cui Zhehan was ill to Su Ning'an and Xiao Xier.
"Hahaha...it's just a small lesson!"
Meng Yunqian looked at the three of them in confusion, "What are you laughing at?"
Su Ningjie smiled and said, "I heard that a lot of rats came to the Cui family last night, chasing and biting the old man from the Cui family, and frightened him to death."
"He deserves it! Who told him to steal from Fourth Brother? If anyone is going to get sick, it should be that bad guy in the prison."

"Uncle."
Meng Zihe ran all the way to the back garden of Lu Mansion, where Si Chuyu was directing the servants to convert an empty lot into a racecourse.
"Zilu, are the children out of school?"
"The children are a little absent-minded today, so let them rest for half an incense stick of time. I came over to ask my cousin if the horses for riding practice have been prepared."
"Both the Lu Mansion and the Si Mansion have unused carriages, so there's no need to go out and look for horses. But Sister Yao'er's horse needs to be carefully selected."
"Uncle, all the horses in my family are tamed. Miss Yuxue likes her very much and is quite docile. There's no need to look for a horse outside. I'll send Yuxue here, and Miss Yuxue can ride her to practice horsemanship. Is that okay?"
Si Chuyu recalled the scene when Lu Yao rode a horse that day. It was indeed her first time riding a horse and she was not afraid. "Okay! How much silver?"
"I don't want money. How can I accept money for sending Yuxue here? I just want to ask my uncle for a favor. Don't tell the second girl that it is Yuxue."
Si Chuyu raised his eyebrows and looked at Meng Zihe deeply.
"Oh, okay!"
"Then I'll take Yuxue to the Si Mansion this afternoon when we get home. Once the racecourse is renovated, you can take Yuxue back to the Lu Mansion from the Si Mansion. Oh, and you need to get a new saddle."
White horses all look similar, so the saddle needs to be changed, otherwise the second girl will find out.
Si Chuyu pursed her lips, smiled and patted his shoulder: "That's all fine, but why don't you give Yuxue to Sister Yao'er yourself?"
"...I'm a stranger, and personally giving Yuxue to her will affect her reputation."
Si Chuyu said: "She is your cousin, your elder. Giving gifts to elders is a filial piety and will not affect her reputation."
Meng Zihe scratched his head. "Yunqian and Jie'er are good brothers, and the second girl is Jie'er's sister. I am Qian'er's uncle, and the second girl has become my junior. This... this generation is too confusing. We should be peers. Anyway, it's not appropriate for me to send her off personally..."
After saying this, Meng Zihe ran away in a hurry.
Si Chuyu looked at his fleeing figure and smiled.
This boy is in love for the first time.
"Nuanyu, is that Second Young Master Meng over there?"
Meng Zihe was wearing a moon-white round-necked robe today. He was running against the wind, his clothes fluttering, and his fair face was flushed.
Nuan Yu raised her foot and looked over. "It's him! Why is Second Young Master Meng running so fast? It seems like someone is chasing him. But shouldn't he be at Lanxin Waterside Pavilion at this time?"
Lu Yao glanced at him for a few seconds before looking away. "He's heading for Lanxin Waterside Pavilion. Let's ignore him. Let's go check on the progress of the horse farm. I only have a quarter of an hour to rest."
Meng Zihe returned to Lanxin Waterside Pavilion, and even drinking several cups of tea did not relieve the panic he felt when Si Chuyu saw through his thoughts.
