Chapter 176 Winning Hearts
Yun Zhao was afraid that his loud voice would attract other people's attention, so she covered his mouth.
"Shh! Third Uncle, this is my cousin. His fever has just subsided. Could you please take care of him for a while?"
cousin? !
There aren't any grown children in the General's Mansion, so where did she get her cousin from?
Before Xu Yiyan could react, Yun Zhao climbed out again and woke Lu Xinnian up at the oxcart next to him.
Zhichun and Zhixia carried the person in, and Yunzhao quickly said, "Sister Lu,
This is Cuizhu. She's injured and needs to stay in the carriage so no one else can find out!
Lu Xinnian was a smart person and immediately understood.
She moved forward to make room so they could put the bamboo inside.
Then she placed a few more cushions in front of her.
"It was just right, I used a cushion to block her view, so no one else could see her."
"Sister Lu, you're so kind! When Sister Cuizhu wakes up, I'll have to trouble you to explain things to her!"
Yun Zhao briefly explained the situation to her, and Lu Xinnian's expression immediately turned serious.
"Don't worry, I'll keep an eye on her and won't let her do anything reckless."
With Lu Xin Nian around, Yun Zhao felt at ease.
Zhichun was somewhat worried.
"Young Miss, who are these people?"
"Sister Zhichun, that's the son of my grandmother's niece, my cousin."
The injured woman was his maid; their identities needed to be kept secret.
When I'm preparing medicine for Sister Lu, I'll have to secretly prepare a portion for both of them as well!
Yun Zhao ran to the wooden cart behind the oxcart and began to take out medicinal herbs.
Upon hearing this, Zhichun immediately stepped forward to help.
"Sister Zhichun, you must remember, never let the Ling family see the dregs of the medicine, especially Xue'er!"
Ling Xuerou understands pharmacology. If she saw the dregs of the medicine, she would definitely realize that it was used to calm children's nerves.
"Okay, Zhichun understands!"
Zhichun readily agreed.
Yun Zhao was busy running around in front, while Wei Jingchen went to the back to find Luo Hao.
Since they couldn't let Luo Hao know the young prince's identity, they simply told him.
He climbed over the wall and went to Luo Hao's side.
"You're back? Where's the little girl?"
Luo Hao was somewhat surprised to see that he was alone.
"She was tired, so I told her to go back to sleep. Those people who stole the rice were bandits who originally lived here."
They went out hunting, but when they returned, they found the rice had been taken. They only dared to retrieve the rice and didn't dare to cause a conflict; nothing serious happened.
Wei Jingchen is lying through his teeth.
It's normal for bandits to appear after a major disaster.
Moreover, many of them were dressed in the uniforms of government officials, which made the bandits even more afraid to show up.
Therefore, Luo Hao did not realize anything was wrong when he said that.
The next day, the sky was just beginning to lighten.
Zhi Qiu and Zhi Dong came out to prepare breakfast.
Zhichun told the two what had happened last night. Surprised, the two followed Yunzhao's instructions.
While preparing medicine for Xu Yiyan and Lu Xinnian, I also prepared Cuizhu and Muyangxing's medicine together.
Yun Zhao lay down outside the courtyard gate with the tiger, and anyone who came out would be startled by the tiger.
Over time, no one dared to come out until Yun Zhao woke up.
When Ling Xuerou woke up, she smelled the medicine and hurriedly ran out.
As soon as she stepped out of the courtyard gate, a huge tiger stared intently at her with its eerie green eyes.
"ah!"
She gasped and collapsed to the ground.
"Xue'er?"
Hearing her daughter scream, Lin Shujing rushed out and helped her up.
"What happened? What's going on... Ah!"
Lin Shujing looked up and met the tiger's eyes, which made her scream in fright.
The continuous roars made the tiger growl in displeasure.
Yun Zhao was woken up by the noise, but he simply stroked its neck and hugged the little tiger tightly.
"Sweetie, don't make a sound, sleep a little longer~"
She knew perfectly well why the two were screaming; that was her purpose.
Even though they all knew there was a tiger guarding the door, everyone would still be afraid of the tiger.
With the tiger guarding this spot, people going out will instinctively walk in the opposite direction, so no one will see what medicine is being brewed.
When Zhi Qiu brought medicine to Xu Yiyan, she also took Mu Yangxing's calming tea with her.
Although it is called a calming tea, it is also a medicine.
Mu Yangxing frowned as he looked at the dark wooden bowl.
Xu Yiyan tilted his head back and drank the medicine. Looking down, he saw the child's worried face and immediately understood that the child did not want to drink the medicine.
"Hmm... I'll get better after taking the medicine."
"I know……"
Mu Yangxing pouted, unsure whether to drink or not.
Xu Yiyan had no experience in coaxing children, so he lifted the car curtain and peeked out.
"Autumn is here!"
He called out in a low voice.
"What's wrong with the Third Young Master?"
"I...have no experience in comforting children..."
He blushed with embarrassment.
Zhi Qiu chuckled and climbed onto the donkey cart.
"Let me do it!"
Seeing Zhi Qiu's sly smile, Xu Yiyan just wanted to disappear into the ground.
Seeing this, Lu Xinnian, who was in the oxcart next to him, asked curiously, "What's wrong with the Third Young Master?"
Zhichun, always observant, smiled and said, "She's probably shy."
"shy?"
Lu Xinnian found it strange; what was there to be shy about?
"Miss Lu, you may not know this, but our third young master has always been like this, and our young lady is often worried about him."
"With the Third Young Master being so shy, I wonder how he'll win a woman's heart."
After spending these days together, Zhichun felt that Lu Xinnian was a good girl.
If we could bring her and the Third Young Master together, that would be the most suitable thing.
As she spoke, she kept an eye on Lu Xinnian's expression.
Lu Xin recalled the scene in the dark room where Xu Yiyan saved her, and couldn't help but lower her eyes and chuckle softly.
"The Third Young Master is a good man. Even if he doesn't know how to please women, he is still a man you can entrust your life to."
Upon hearing this, Zhichun immediately straightened up.
It seems like the third young master has a chance!
"Is that so? This servant thinks so too. Those women that the old lady introduced before..."
They really don't know how to appreciate our third young master. Our third young master is well-read and knowledgeable.
Although he's timid, when it comes to taking responsibility, the Third Young Master never hesitates!
Lu Xinnian was very clever; upon hearing Zhichun's words, she immediately realized that Zhichun had said them on purpose.
Young Master Xu saved her life, but she was just an orphan after all. How could she be worthy of such a good man?
Thinking of this, Lu Xinnian did not reply.
When Zhichun saw her like this, her heart skipped a beat.
When delivering breakfast to Xu Qingyi, Zhichun couldn't help but whisper something to her.
"You silly girl, how can you say that in front of a woman? She'll be embarrassed later!"
Xu Qingyi was both amused and exasperated.
"Miss, look! The Third Young Master and Miss Lu have been through thick and thin together. If things go well, they will surely grow old together. Wouldn't that be wonderful!"
Zhichun realized that she had been a bit too hasty, but Miss Lu was such a wonderful woman.
The third young master is shy, so they have to help him make the best of a situation!
"Alas, Miss Lu is a good woman, but we are, after all, exiles now."
She can find a better husband; unless she's willing, we shouldn't interfere.
"To avoid Miss Lu thinking that we are taking advantage of her kindness to force her into marriage, do you understand?"
They were, after all, exiled criminals; we couldn't let them ruin the lives of girls from good families.
