Chapter 630: Temper (Part 1)



In the main room of the east wing, although there were many maids and old women, you could hear a pin drop.

Eleventh Lady sat beside Jing'er's bed.

"Where does it hurt?" She could not hide her anxiety, but her tone was as gentle and calm as usual.

Jing'er's white jade-like face was covered with tears. He pointed at his leg with a pouty mouth and said, "It hurts here!"

Eleventh Lady smoothed his trouser legs.

Jinger screamed, "Mom, it hurts! It hurts!"

Although Eleventh Lady was anxious, her movements were gentler as she rolled up his trouser legs to his thighs.

The skin is fair and delicate, without even a tiny mark.

It's not an injury...

Eleventh Lady thought of how Jin'er had been squatting in horse stance with Master Pang these past two days.

Could it be that the sudden increase in exercise caused the muscle soreness?

She gently bumped into Jinger's leg: "Does it hurt or is it sore?"

Jing'er couldn't answer.

Xu Lingyi rushed in with a chill wind.

"Where are you hurt? Have you called a doctor? Does it still hurt?" He spoke quickly, but his words were clear and his voice was deep, with a hint of majesty. As he spoke, he sat on the brocade stool beside the bed. He looked at Jing'er's legs and ordered Hong Wen, who was standing beside him with a panicked look, "Call Huang Xiaomao and Liu Erwu in!"

Hongwen left in response.

"I've sent someone to get a doctor!" Eleventh Lady said anxiously, "It doesn't hurt if you don't touch it, but it hurts if you touch it. My Lord, do you think it's because of the horse stance?"

Xu Lingyi is a martial artist himself, so he should have some common sense in this area!

"It shouldn't!" Xu Lingyi's expression was serious, but his eyes were filled with worry as he looked at his son, revealing his mood at the moment. "Master Pang has taught children younger than Jing'er. He has experience." As he spoke, Hong Wen had brought Huang Xiaomao and Liu Erwu in.

The two of them obviously knew what had happened and looked worried. Xu Lingyi and Shiyi Niang were both present. After they bowed, they stood on tiptoe and looked at Jing'er in a somewhat rude manner.

"The Sixth Young Master is complaining about leg pain." Xu Lingyi looked at the two of them calmly. The solemnity of the occupant still made the two of them tremble with fear. "Did the Sixth Young Master bump into anything or touch anything?"

Huang Xiaomao and Liu Erwu thought about it, and Liu Erwu said, "I follow the Sixth Young Master every day. These past two days, the Sixth Young Master has been either in Xiumu Courtyard or in the Madam's main room. He hasn't gone anywhere..." His voice trembled slightly.

A little head poked in from behind the door curtain and quickly shrank back.

"What's the matter?" Chang'an asked his brother quietly outside the curtain.

Changshun said in a baby voice: "Sixth Young Master is not crying anymore. The Marquis and his wife are sitting beside him watching him!"

If you don’t cry, it won’t hurt!

Changan breathed a sigh of relief.

He had embarrassed the Sixth Young Master, and although the Madam said he was right and allowed him and his brother to enter the mansion, Grandfather was still a little worried that the Sixth Young Master would dislike him. Unexpectedly, although the Sixth Young Master did not treat him as affectionately as Huang Xiaomao and Liu Erwu, he did not find fault with him.

Changan thought about it, took his brother's hand and prepared to go out, but found that his brother was holding a candy in his hand.

Changshun said to his brother, "Eat the candy and the pain will go away!"

Changan smiled.

The Sixth Young Master treats Changshun very well.

Speaking of which, the Sixth Young Master is a pretty good person!

He praised his brother: "Changshun is so good!"

A servant ran in: "Hurry up and report to the Marquis and Madam, Doctor Liu from the Imperial Hospital is here!"

The little maidservant working nearby lifted the curtain and came in.

The maids and wives all hid behind the screen. Eleventh Lady stood up and stood beside the bed, making room for Jing'er to feel her pulse.

Doctor Liu couldn't help but glance at Xu Lingyi. Seeing that he looked normal, he quickly put aside his thoughts and helped Jing'er feel his pulse.

"Sixth Young Master's pulse is steady and strong..." After a while, Doctor Liu murmured, "There's nothing wrong. Otherwise, ask Doctor Xie to take a look. He is good at treating children's rare diseases."

Xu Lingyi immediately sent for Doctor Xie. Doctor Xie looked at the patient for a long time and also felt that the pulse was normal. Looking at Xu Lingyi with a gloomy face, he recommended Doctor Wu. Doctor Wu recommended Doctor Kong... Doctors from the Imperial Hospital came in and out like a stream.

Eleventh Lady sat in front of Jin Ge'er's bed, chatting and laughing with him, but her heart was like boiling water, gurgling with hot steam. She thought of everything she knew about leukemia and osteomyelitis in her previous life. She only hated why there was no B-ultrasound in this era, and hated herself for not studying medicine in the first place...

Hearing the noise, the old lady and the second lady rushed over one after another.

Seeing Jing'er, who was usually full of energy, lying on the bed, I sat down beside the bed and tears started falling.

Seeing that Eleventh Lady was absent-minded, the Second Lady pulled Xiang, who had informed her of the news, to ask her in detail.

Knowing that several imperial doctors were unable to diagnose the cause, the Second Lady took Jing'er's pulse.

"How is it?" The old lady looked at the second lady hopefully.

"The pulse is steady and strong..." The Second Madam hesitated, "It seems that there is nothing wrong..."

When the lady heard this, she immediately stood up and shouted to Mother Du: "Hurry up, help me prepare my court dress. I want to go to the palace. Let's see if the Queen has any solution!"

"The doctors all said that there's nothing wrong!" Xu Lingyi said hurriedly, "Let him lie down for a day and see what happens. Don't let the Empress worry too!"

"I'm afraid of this sudden illness." The lady thought of the death of her second son, "You can't just let it go." She insisted on entering the palace.

When Chen Ge'er went to Xiumuyuan, he found out that Jin Ge'er was sick.

He went to see Jing'er. As soon as he entered the yard, the fifth lady came to visit Cheng'er in her arms. He followed his mother into the house.

The ladies gathered together and whispered about Jing'er's illness, and Chen'er lay on the bed and talked to Jing'er.

"So you can't do the horse stance today?"

Jinger nodded dejectedly: "My legs hurt when I move."

"Then I will surpass you!" Brother Xie was a little proud. "You squatted for five incense sticks yesterday, and I squatted for two incense sticks yesterday. I will squat for two incense sticks today, and two incense sticks tomorrow..." He counted with his fingers, "I have squatted for one more incense stick than you!" he shouted loudly.

Jinger stared at him and said unwillingly, "Just wait. I'm ready. I'll squat for six incense sticks every day and I'll catch up with you in one day!"

The dispute between the two children immediately attracted the attention of the adults.

"Xin Ge'er," Shiyi Niang squatted in front of Xin Ge'er, "What did you say just now?" There was some anticipation in her eyes, and her expression seemed a little eager, "You squatted for two incense sticks, and Jin Ge'er squatted for five incense sticks..."

Chen Ge'er blushed slightly, and looked at the Fifth Madam timidly. Seeing that the Fifth Madam seemed to be listening to him seriously, he said shyly: "I squatted the least... Sixth Brother squatted the most... He squatted two more incense sticks than the master required!"

"Really!" As if a ray of hope had finally appeared after a dark period, Shiyi Niang felt a glimmer of hope in her heart. She asked Jing'er, "Did you squat in horse stance for a long time yesterday?"

Jinger nodded and said loudly, "I squatted for one more incense stick than Huang Xiaomao and Liu Erwu."

Xu Lingyi also reacted. He was no longer as cautious as before. He rubbed Jing'er's calf regardless of his cries of pain. After a long while, he let go and said calmly, "Try and see if your leg can still move."

Jing'er stretched his legs doubtfully.

"It doesn't hurt as much as before!" He looked surprised, "Mother, it doesn't hurt as much as before." He looked at the lady again, "Grandma!"

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"That's good, that's good!" The lady held Jing'er's hand and was very happy.

The child is too young and is a beginner. If he squats in horse stance for too long, it will not only fail to strengthen his body, but will also hurt his body.

"This is simply outrageous!" Xu Lingyi's face darkened, and he called Huang Xiaomao and Liu Erwu in. "What's going on?"

The two of them lowered their heads: "Master Pang wouldn't let us, but the Sixth Young Master insisted on squatting..."

The lady thought that Master Pang was introduced by her eldest brother-in-law. Although she wanted to say something but stopped herself, a look of disapproval appeared on her face.

Eleventh Lady was so immersed in the joy that her child was fine that she didn't notice these things. She hugged Jin Ge'er and kissed him again and again: "You kid, who can become fat in one go? You have to take it slowly. You have to listen to your master in the future and don't act on your own. Now you know how powerful it is!"

Jing'er hid in Shiyi Niang's arms.

Xu Lingyi rubbed his son's legs.

"It's good that everything is fine! It's good that everything is fine!" Eleventh Lady only gave birth to this one child. What if something happened to him? Fifth Madam breathed a sigh of relief. "I also asked someone to take a letter to Fifth Master to come back. Now we are relieved." Then she told the maid to send a servant to tell Xu Lingkuan the news, so that Xu Lingkuan would not worry.

Xiang hurriedly brought hot tea to Shiyi Niang: "Mother-in-law, please have some hot tea!" and helped her sit on a small stool beside her.

Xu Sizhun rushed over after hearing the news.

Seeing Xu Lingyi rubbing Jing'er's legs, he stood aside respectfully.

Shiyi Niang drank the tea and felt much better. She was a little uncomfortable seeing Xu Sizhun alone. She asked, "Why don't you see Jie'er?"

Xu Sizhun smiled and said, "We came back together at noon. I asked him to stay in my room for lunch, but he said he had some books to memorize. He was memorizing them in his room and didn't go to Shuangfuyuan in the afternoon. I've asked someone to call him back!"

"Since he is reciting, don't call him!" Eleventh Lady said hurriedly, "Homework is more important! It will be time for dinner soon."

After dinner, it was time for Xu Sijie to come in and greet Eleventh Lady.

Since Jing'er's illness isn't serious...Xu Sizun gave Biluo an instruction.

In the evening, Xu Sizhun and Xu Sijie came to see Jing'er together. Xu Lingyi was not there, so Xu Sizhun looked at Jing'er and laughed. Jing'er was embarrassed and hid his head in Shiyi Niang's arms.

Eleventh Lady smiled and patted her son's head: "Okay, okay. Remember to thank Grandmother, Second Aunt, and Fifth Aunt tomorrow."

Jing'er uttered a depressed "hmm".

Xu Sizhun wanted to tease him a little, but Xu Lingyi and Xu Lingkuan came in, talking: "If we change the master, the next person will definitely ask why Master Pang left. Then they will be even more afraid to discipline the child. It is better to have a good talk with Master Pang. He knows my feelings, and he will know how to discipline Jin Ge'er..."

Xu Lingkuan's attention was already on Jing'er. He nodded randomly at his brother and called out to Jing'er with a smile: "Oh, our Jing'er is still shy!"

Compared with Xu Lingyi, he is friendly and cheerful, and all the children like him.

Jing'er turned his head and called out "Fifth Uncle" in a muffled voice.

"How is it? Does your leg still hurt?" Xu Lingkuan half-knelt in front of the bed and looked at Jing'er, "Okay, Uncle Wu will take you to go boating!"

Jing'er's eyes lit up, but then dimmed and he shook his head gently: "I'm going to do horse stance when I'm ready. Otherwise I won't be able to catch up with Huang Xiaomao and Wang Erwu!"

Post a draft first! I'll correct the typos later.
