The lady was overjoyed when she heard this. She sat with Eleventh Lady for a while, then got up and went to Fifth Lady.

A little maid came in and reported: "Grandma Luo Si is here!"

The autumn rain hit the curtains and welcomed the guests in.

"Fortunately, I asked the eleventh aunt to come forward." She smiled as she entered the room: "My aunt came to me yesterday when she returned home. She said that she was uneducated and didn't understand things. Everything that happened in the past was her fault. She asked me to forgive her mistakes and not to argue with her."

Eleventh Lady smiled and asked the maid to bring a brocade stool for Fourth Lady Luo to sit on. "Auntie did this for Twelfth Sister, and Fourth Sister-in-law did this for Twelfth Sister. Now that we've talked it out, isn't everything fine now?"

Mrs. Luo sat down and the maid brought tea and snacks.

Eleventh Lady told her about her letters to Zhu Anping and Fourth Lady, and about Xu Lingyi's willingness to help: "... In the end, it's up to Fourth Sister-in-law and Fourth Brother to help make the decision."

This solved the big problem.

Fourth Grandma Luo sighed, "Eleventh Aunt has been a great help. I will ask your fourth brother to come and see the Marquis tomorrow!" She then apologized, "I really have no idea. That's why I shamelessly came to ask for help."

"We are family, it's a bit strange for sister-in-law to say that."

As they were talking, Jing'er woke up.

Eleventh Lady hurriedly called Gu to help her carry the urine.

Grandma Luo Si looked at Wu Niang and started talking about Xin Ge, Wu Niang's son. "... He is so naughty. The two maids can't keep him under control. Fortunately, Zhuo Tao is here. Otherwise, no one would be able to coax him."

"Zhuo Tao!" Shiyi Niang smiled, and the image of the little girl in the light green cotton jacket appeared in her mind. "She must be twelve or thirteen years old this year, right?"

"Twelve years old." Grandma Luo nodded with a smile, "She is very pretty."

"She has been beautiful since she was young." Eleventh Lady smiled, "Sui'er got married last year. Zhuo Tao was the only one who came with Fifth Sister from Yuhang!"

"I was wondering why this girl is so smart when it comes to doing things." Grandma Luo laughed, "Xin Ge was clamoring for noodles, and she was afraid that he would get burned, so she fanned him to cool him down before feeding him." Then she added, "Xin Ge doesn't look like the fifth uncle, but more like Xiu Ge'er, as if they were printed from the same mold."

"Uncles and cousins ​​are blood relatives, so how can they not look alike?" Eleventh Lady smiled and asked Qian Ming, "Is Fifth Brother-in-law home?"

"Not at home!" Luo Si's grandmother laughed, "He said he went to study in a Zen temple outside the city called Tieshan Temple. Fifth uncle was at home, and there were many people coming and going, all of them were good friends. It would be bad not to see anyone. When they met, they would inevitably eat and drink, which delayed his studies. He had no choice but to retreat to the Zen temple and concentrate on his studies."

I hope he can really concentrate on his studies.

Eleventh Lady nodded slightly.

Grandma Luo smiled slightly, "I also went to see Grandma Ten." As she spoke, tears glistened in the corners of her eyes, "She is so thin that she is just a skeleton, but fortunately she is in good spirits. With Yinping and Jinlian, two capable people helping her, the family affairs are in order. It is better than when Madam Wang was in charge of the household affairs."

The Xu family's maids and the Wang family's women servants often come and go, and some things have reached Shiyi Niang's ears. Since Wang Chengzu was adopted by Shi Niang, Madam Jiang Wang Lin only visited her mother and worshipped her father when she returned to her parents' home, and no longer cared about her parents' trivial matters. Shi Niang presided over the household affairs of the Wang Mansion as the legitimate mother of Duke Mao. Although she did not understand the general affairs, she knew how to save money. She sold several vacant properties of Duke Mao's Mansion in Yanjing, drove away a group of maids, and lived a simple life at home, but it was not like the past where they took money from one place to pay for another. Instead, they lived a stable life.

"Speaking of which, you sisters are all very capable." Grandma Luo smiled, "I hope our Yingniang can be like aunt when she grows up."

Speaking of Yingniang, Shiyi Niang smiled and said, "When I have free time one day, I will bring her here to play."

"Since I'm in Beijing, I'm bound to quarrel with you." Luo Si's grandmother smiled, talked to Shiyi Niang about the children for a while, and stood up to say goodbye. "When the matter is settled, I will reply to your letter."

Eleventh Lady was a little tired and did not stay long. She asked Qiuyu to see Fourth Grandma Luo off.

Doctor Liu is here.

Without Xu Lingyi present, even if she was willing to accept acupuncture from Doctor Liu, I'm afraid Doctor Liu would not dare to do so.

She told Qiuyu to invite Xu Lingyi.

Xu Lingyi was in the outer courtyard and walked in holding a big red invitation with gold sprinkled on it.

"What year is this?" He laughed, "Yesterday General Li's family married a daughter-in-law, and today Earl Zhongqin's family married a daughter."

"Sister Xian?" For her marriage, Earl Zhongqin hurriedly married Cao E off.

Xu Lingyi didn't know what the name of the daughter of Lord Zhongqin was, so he said, "Maybe! She's said to be the eldest daughter." Then he sat down beside the bed and asked her softly, "Do you want to go? The date is set for December 4th."

Eleventh Lady took off her jacket and said, "Where can I go in this state?"

Xu Lingyi's eyes dimmed, and he ordered Amber to bring in a brazier: "Be careful not to catch a cold later."

"It's better not to light the brazier." Eleventh Lady said softly, "Jin'er is still young. If you light the brazier while the floor heating is on, be careful that the child will get angry."

"Or, let the nurse take Jing'er to the warm room in the main house to rest." Xu Lingyi helped Shiyi Niang take off her middle clothes. "You don't have to worry about this or that."

Eleventh Lady leaned on the bed, "It's not fun for me to be in confinement. If he accompanies me, I won't be so bored."

Xu Lingyi asked Hupo to call Doctor Liu in and said with a smile, "He only cries when he sleeps. What can he do to accompany you?"

As he was speaking, there was the sound of boots rubbing against the ground.

Eleventh Lady knew that it was Doctor Liu who came in and stopped talking.

After the acupuncture, Xu Lingyi sent Doctor Liu out. Amber saw that Shiyi Niang had fallen asleep, so she tiptoed to cover her with a blanket.

At night, Xu Lingyi still stayed in Shiyi Niang's room, and Jing'er slept next to his father's pillow.

"Do you think he would feel uncomfortable being tied up like this?" Xu Lingyi leaned on the pillow at the head of the bed and talked to Shiyi Niang.

Eleventh Lady also felt that Jing'er would be uncomfortable. But Tian Mama and Wan Mama were both experienced, and said that Xu Lingkuan was tied up like this when he was growing up... Looking at Xu Lingkuan's tall and big appearance, she really had no objection.

"Mother Tian said that it's OK to wait until the full month," she said, "to prevent the child from becoming cross-legged."

"He's quite well behaved." Xu Lingyi said with a smile, "He doesn't cry or make a fuss even though he's like this."

The two of them were chatting and Eleventh Lady fell asleep in a daze.

I woke up suddenly and it was already daybreak.

Eleventh Lady was shocked.

How can he sleep so deeply? Jing'er wakes up twice at night. I don't know who is taking care of him? Did Jing'er cry?

While thinking, he turned his head to look for the child.

**Empty. Even Xu Lingyi was not there.

She sat up in a panic.

The black lacquered screen blocked her view, so she couldn’t see what was happening over there. Eleventh Lady shouted “Mother Gu” loudly.

Gu and Amber both came around from behind the screen.

"Madam, you are awake." Amber smiled, "The Marquis said you were sleeping soundly and didn't let us wake you up."

Gu smiled and said, "The Sixth Young Master just had his milk, and the Marquis is playing with him!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Lingyi came in holding the child, "I don't know why there are so many sleepyheads. I do my own thing and he does his own thing." As he spoke, he sat down on the bed, bent over and gently placed the child on Shiyi Niang's pillow, "Did you sleep well last night?"

Eleventh Lady looked into his gentle eyes and nodded slowly: "Last night, the Marquis was taking care of Brother Jin, right?"

Unlike the usual brilliance, Eleventh Lady's eyes were somewhat deep, even solemn.

Xu Lingyi was a little surprised: "What's wrong?"

"Nothing!" Eleventh Lady's lips curled slightly, and her face brightened, "I just slept very well!"

Xu Lingyi felt that his wife's attitude today was a little strange, but when he looked closely, it was no different from usual and he couldn't tell what was strange.

"That's good!" He smiled and stood up. "I'll wait for Doctor Liu to come and see you before going to the outer hospital."

The New Year is coming soon. The shopkeepers of the Xu family's shops and the heads of the farms have either returned to Yanjing to settle accounts or sent New Year gifts. Xu Lingyi has been busy meeting these two days.

Eleventh Lady smiled and nodded, and with the help of Amber, she slowly went to the bathroom to wash up.

* * * * * *

Yang was very surprised: "My Lord has been staying in the side room these days?"

"I heard that Madam is not in good health!" Madam Yang whispered, "Doctor Liu has been in the mansion to see Madam for five consecutive days. The medicine in the ear room has never stopped." She added, "The Marquis is worried that the wet nurse and the maid can't take good care of the Sixth Young Master, so he has been taking care of the Sixth Young Master himself these days!"

After all, he is a son, it makes a big difference!

Thinking of this, Yang's heart was slightly stabbed. She bit her lip and whispered, "Then do you know what the Marquis has been doing these days?"

"I stay in the outer courtyard during the day," said Mother Yang. "I go out after seeing off Doctor Liu in the morning. I come back at 12:00 in the evening, greet the Madam and then go back to the main room."

Yang nodded slightly and fell into deep thought.

* * * * * *

When Xu Lingyi returned to the room, Eleventh Lady and the child were already asleep.

He came out of the bathroom and tiptoed onto the bed.

Eleventh Lady was still awakened, she said sleepily: "The Marquis is back!"

"Yeah!" Xu Lingyi saw that Jing'er was sleeping soundly, so he held her in his arms.

Eleventh Lady let out a moan, struggled a little, found a comfortable position, and fell asleep again.

Xu Lingyi looked at Jing'er beside the pillow, then looked at Shiyi Niang in his arms, and thought about what he said to Doctor Liu when he left the house in the morning.

"Acupuncture combined with Bu Zhong Yi Qi Tang will be of great benefit to Madam's illness."

He was relieved when he heard that. But Doctor Liu changed the subject and said, "Even so, if Madam wants to recover, it will probably take three to five years."

He thought of Dr. Liu's "Tai Chi Kung Fu" and wanted to tease him, but he saw a pair of extremely serious eyes.

In other words, it’s the truth!

As the thought flashed through his mind, Xu Lingyi couldn't help but sigh softly. He put his face against her thin face with some affection, and his hands naturally held her tightly in his arms.

“Moyan, you look weak, but you are actually very strong. This time, you will definitely be able to turn danger into safety!”
