Chapter 15 Protection

"Giving crispy candies to a child in the middle of the night, how can you be a mother?" Shen's mother angrily reprimanded Cheng Jinchu in public.

Cheng Jinchu blushed and said aggrievedly: "I didn't give it to her."

"Then who gave it to her!" Shen's mother questioned.

Yinhuan 'Putong' knelt on the ground and trembled, "Madam gave the crispy candies to the young lady a few days ago. The young lady didn't finish it, so I put it away. I didn't expect that the young lady found it and ate it secretly tonight."

Jiang Shu gave it

. Shen's mother looked at Jiang Shu in surprise, and Shen Changze also looked over.

The bad premonition in her heart was confirmed, and Jiang Shu said frankly: "I did give Yan Huan a bag of crispy candies a few days ago."

But how many times to eat and how much to eat at a time were not something she could control.

"Daddy, it hurts." Yan Huan cried and rolled over.

Shen Changze retracted his gaze and asked Doctor Fang: "What should we do now?"

The incident has already happened, and it is useless to blame anyone. The most urgent thing is to cure Yan Huan.

Doctor Fang said: "First, gently massage the area around the navel to relieve the pain, and then use soup to digest the food. After a big bowel movement, you will be fine."

As she said, Doctor Fang demonstrated the massage position and technique, and asked Cheng Jinchu to press, and she went back to get the medicine and boil the soup.

The room fell into silence for a while, only Yan Huan was groaning in pain.

Mother Shen glanced at Jiang Shu, who looked calm, and turned to look at Yin Huan and shouted: "Come here, take her down and punish her."

Yin Huan's face turned pale, and she bit her lips in fear.

She knew that a punishment was inevitable, so she was prepared and did not struggle for mercy.

She even thought that this was the best outcome and what she deserved.

As long as the lady was not implicated, she was willing to be punished.

Cheng Jinchu waited for a while with her ears cocked, but did not hear Mother Shen scolding Jiang Shu.

She was a little dissatisfied and pretended to plead, "Yan Huan is greedy, it's no wonder that my sister and Yinhuan are like this. Mother should have spared them."

Jiang Shu raised her eyes and looked at Cheng Jinchu when she heard this.

She originally thought that this was just an accident, but now it seems that this is not the case.

"As a personal maid, she deserves to be punished for not serving well. As the mistress of the family, you should be clear about rewards and punishments, and not be too soft-hearted." Mother Shen insisted on punishing Yinhuan and teaching Cheng Jinchu a lesson.

Cheng Jinchu said with a face full of resignation: "Mother, you are right, but this matter is not the fault of Yinhuan alone. Please punish her less severely, as she still has to take care of Yan Huan."

Shen's mother thought so too, so she changed her words and said: "Then give her twenty slaps as a punishment."

Yin Huan was dragged down and slapped.

Jiang Shu stood straight, looking at Cheng Jinchu calmly.

Cheng Jinchu repeatedly pointed out that it was not the fault of Yinhuan alone, but Shen's mother and Shen Changze seemed not to understand and ignored him.

Cheng Jinchu did not give up and said: "I know my sister means well, but Yan Huan is young and does not know how to control herself. She also does not know when to eat and when not to eat, so please do not feed her food in private in the future, so as not to upset her stomach again."

"Okay, I'll remember that." Jiang Shu pursed his lips with a gloomy face.

Seeing this, Shen's mother hurried to smooth things over: "The child is just greedy and overeating, it's not a big deal, Shu'er also meant well."

Shen Changze also agreed: "In the future, let Yinhuan be more careful, don't take it to heart."

He said this to both Cheng Jinchu and Jiang Shu, but unfortunately, neither of them listened.

He was the only one who really didn't take it to heart.

With such a big commotion, Shen Changze couldn't stay in Tingzhu Tower tonight, so Jiang Shu left with Shen's mother.

"Shu'er, don't be angry, Jinchu just loves him too much, please forgive his inappropriate words, when you become a mother in the future, you will understand the heart of a mother."

Shen's mother took Jiang Shu's hand and comforted her.

Being a mother

With Cheng Jinchu's behavior, can she still be a mother?

That night, Jiang Shu couldn't sleep, and she leaned against the window to enjoy the breeze all night.

Due to excessive worry and menstrual weakness, Jiang Shu fell ill the next day.

After examining her, Doctor Fang said, "Medicine can only heal the body, not the mind. Madam, you should be open-minded, which is more effective than any good medicine."

"I know." Jiang Shu responded weakly, and closed her eyes tiredly.

Seeing that she was asleep, Doctor Fang walked out of the house lightly and asked Tan Yu to go with her to get the medicine.

The two walked to the intersection of Tingzhulou and Suoyunyuan, and ran into Shen Changze who was returning from the court.

"Hello, Lord Hou." The two greeted respectfully.

Shen Changze nodded, thinking that Doctor Fang had just finished examining Yan Huan and left, but when his eyes fell on Tan Yu, he felt something was wrong.

"Madam is not feeling well,"

Doctor Fang nodded, "Madam has caught a cold, and I am just about to return to Yanhua Hall to prescribe medicine for her after examining her."

Yanhua Hall is Doctor Fang's residence in the Marquis's Mansion, and it is also the pharmacy.

Upon hearing that Jiang Shu was really ill, Shen Changze did not even go back to change into court clothes, but went directly to Tingzhu Tower.

Chu Yu was guarding the bedside, and was a little surprised to see Shen Changze. He wanted to speak to greet her but was stopped.

"Don't wake her up." Shen Changze said in a low voice, looking at the person sleeping soundly under the brocade quilt on the Luo bed, with a bit of pity on his tough and cold face.

Because of the illness, Jiang Shuming's beautiful face became haggard and pale, like a delicate and fragile jade doll, which made people feel pity.

Shen Changze sat down beside the bed, raised his hand to smooth Jiang Shu's frown, and his thin fingers gently brushed across her smooth cheeks. The warm touch made him unable to let go.

If he hadn't had important business, he really wanted to accompany her and watch her.

After leaving the room, he asked Chu Yu: "Why did the lady fall ill?"

"Doctor Fang said that the lady is weak. The menstrual period has damaged her qi and blood. Once she gets cold, she will easily get sick. She needs to take good care of herself."

After listening to this, Shen Changze suddenly remembered that Jiang Shu wanted to open a small kitchen before. At that time, Chu Yu also said that she was weak, but he didn't believe it.

It seems that Jiang Shu's body really needs careful care from the small kitchen, and the meals in the mansion are not suitable for her. The

previous depression dissipated instantly, and Shen Changze told Chu Yu: "Take good care of the lady, I will come to see her in the evening."

Shen Changze went back to Suoyun Courtyard to change clothes, and took a look at Yan Huan.

After drinking the digestive soup, Yan Huan had recovered as usual, but she was very sleepy after tossing around for most of the night, and fell asleep again after breakfast.

"I heard that my sister was also sick. How could it be such a coincidence?" Cheng Jinchu was suspicious.

Shen Changze said, "She caught a cold last night, and I'm afraid she will be sick for a few days."

"My sister is really weak." Cheng Jinchu half joked and half ridiculed.

Shen Changze said seriously, "She is a girl from a distant family, and she has never practiced martial arts, so she is naturally not as strong as you."

He actually defended her!

Cheng Jinchu's smile froze at the corner of his mouth, and he couldn't laugh anymore.

"It's getting late. I have to go to the barracks. You take good care of Yan Huan." Shen Changze didn't notice her abnormality and got up and left. Cheng

Jinchu chased to the door: "My husband, come back early after your official duties, and we will go to visit my sister together."

Shen Changze paused, replied with a "OK" and strode away.

The tall figure of the man disappeared outside the yard. Cheng Jinchu retracted his gaze and saw the sunflowers blooming in the yard facing the sun.

Shen Changze deliberately placed this pot of sunflowers in the best sunlight position and ordered his servants to take good care of it.

Does he care about this pot of flowers or the person who sent the flowers?
