Xie Qingyao calculated the time accurately and sent an invitation to Dou Yueying when Han Zhuoyang's injury was not fully healed, predicting that with his personality, he would seize this opportunity.
As expected, she was right.
This way, it would be easier to fake Han Zhuoyang's accidental death.
The only bad thing was that Xie Qingyao caught a cold and stayed in the room, feeling a little confused.
She prescribed a prescription for herself and asked Ning to get the medicine.
Xiao Wuhuo didn't test her homework and let her have a good rest.
Xiao Wuhuo only held a nominal position as the palace physician in the Marquis of Anguo's Mansion. In addition to teaching Xie Qingyao medical skills, he would provide free medical services in the pharmacy and go to the mountains to collect herbs every now and then.
Only after Zhitao brought over the cold-dispelling soup did Xie Qingyao crawl out of bed.
There was a sound of footsteps.
"My Lord." the maids shouted.
"You're back so early today." Xie Qingyao was surprised.
He Zheng strode over and said, "I am here."
He took the bowl from Zhitao.
Xie Qingyao: "You guys step back first."
Seeing this, the maids all retreated.
Xie Qingyao leaned against the headboard, took a sip of the medicine, frowned, and stuck out her tongue: "It's so bitter."
He Zheng put down the porcelain bowl, turned around and took the small box that she usually kept snacks in, opened a small jar inside, and a sweet fragrance instantly wafted out.
He picked up a candy and put it into her mouth.
So thoughtful?
Xie Qingyao's eyebrows curved as she commented, "This candy is as sweet as the Marquis."
A hint of smile flashed across He Zheng's eyes. He gently pinched her cheek and coaxed her, "Go to sleep."
"No." Xie Qingyao shook her head. She had already slept for a while during the day, and if she slept any longer she would become like a pig.
"My Lord, have you not had dinner yet?"
He Zheng said: "No."
Xie Qingyao guessed so. He came back so early and didn’t even have time to eat, just to accompany her.
She immediately called out and asked Ning and the others to bring some food over.
While He Zheng was eating, Xie Qingyao stayed aside and ate two pieces of cake.
In the evening, He Zheng asked Xi Feng to move the documents from the study to the bedroom, as he would be working here today.
Xie Qingyao was curled up on the chaise longue, with her head resting on He Zheng's arm. Her face was originally facing him, but suddenly her eyes swept across the contents of the document.
She turned her head away calmly and didn't look.
Confidential, confidential, not suitable for casual viewing.
Little did she know, He Zheng twisted her cheeks and asked her to turn around again, saying lightly: "It's okay, Yaoyao can look if she wants to, it's not a secret."
How could he not understand her thoughts?
Everyone has secrets, especially those powerful officials. If someone accidentally gets a glimpse of the secrets, even someone as close as a husband and wife might kill them.
She was afraid of overstepping the line, stepping into his restricted area, and causing disaster.
He Zheng didn't need to explain it clearly, Xie Qingyao also understood.
Perhaps because of her illness, she looked listless. Suddenly, she said, "What if one day I accidentally see the Marquis's..."
Before she could finish, He Zheng spoke up, "Even if Yaoyao really discovered my secret, I would only give her a minor punishment."
Xie Qingyao showed a look of shock and asked curiously: "How are you going to punish me?"
He Zheng raised his thin lips slightly and pinched her cheek.
The indifferent and handsome face in front of me gradually approached.
Xie Qingyao: "..."
Oh no, your punishment is not very decent.
She reached out and covered He Zheng's lips, "Be careful of infection."
He Zheng kissed her fingertips and said, "I won't do that."
Xie Qingyao was a little amused and said arrogantly, "What kind of punishment is this?"
He Zheng's usual deep voice rang out, "So Yaoyao should know that there is nothing here that you cannot know, even if it's a secret."
Hearing this, the gloom on Xie Qingyao's face faded away. With an obvious smile on her face, she picked up a booklet and started reading.
"This Dou Xiao..."
"Guardian Assistant Commander, under the jurisdiction of the Beijing Guard Command."
"Um……"
"The King has been making a lot of moves recently."
The two of them talked about everything that was happening in the court.
Xie Qingyao had no access to these things before, but now she learned from He Zheng that the forces of all parties are complicated and intertwined.
She was still very interested.
After a while, the nanny beside Mrs. He came over.
It turned out that the first lady, Madam Li, could no longer sit still after seeing Xie Qingyao return from Runan, and repeatedly approached Madam He, wanting the first wife to move back from Yonglan Villa.
Old Madam He intended to temper Li's temper, so that her gradually dull mind would be cleared up and she would stop making so much noise and confusion.
Today, Madam He finally sent a nanny to seek the opinions of the third house.
After all, as long as the first and second wives don't make any serious mistakes, the family will not be divided. It is inappropriate to let the first wife live in the separate courtyard all the time. She should be allowed to come back after some warnings.
The nanny looked at He Zheng, and He Zheng said in a cold voice: "This depends on Yaoyao."
The nanny was stunned and turned to Xie Qingyao, "Madam, look..."
Xie Qingyao: "It's not a big deal. I think the resentment in my sister-in-law's heart has dissipated over the past few days. She has finally come to like me, her third sister-in-law. The family should live in harmony."
With her words, the nanny nodded, "Yes, yes, madam is right."
It’s settled now. Let’s pack up the main house and move back from the villa.
Xie Qingyao had been suffering from a cold these days, and He Zheng was worried that she would be bored, so he asked her to find some entertainment.
She thought of Qin Yurong at the manor, and asked Ning and Chulu to guide Tao to discover the affair between the second master and Qin Yurong.
In the corridor.
Ning: "I just heard the Second Master tell the coachman that they were going to Qingshui Street. Could it be that he has a mistress?"
