I got hit!
Ye Yunniang hit me!!
Jiang Mingzhe was shocked to learn that Ye Yunniang had hit him.
Ye Yunniang was extremely flustered after finishing the fight. Her eyes caught sight of Yuanyuan out of the corner of her eye.
Cover Yuanyuan with a small blanket, pat his tummy, and coax him to sleep.
Ye Yunniang turned her head to look at Jiang Mingzhe, who was in a daze.
“Jiang Mingzhe, have you calmed down? We are Yuanyuan’s parents. He has been bullied. We can’t panic, we can’t just blame ourselves. We need to find out who hurt him. My Yuanyuan can’t be bullied for nothing.”
Ye Yunniang sniffed, trying to hold back the tears that were about to well up in her eyes.
Jiang Mingzhe regained his composure and suppressed all his panic.
"You're right. No matter who hurt Yuanyuan, I won't let them get away with it."
Ye Yunniang suppressed her voice and hummed in agreement.
"Sir, Madam, Doctor Xiao has arrived."
"Let him in."
When Dr. Xiao came in, Jiang Mingzhe and Ye Yunniang managed to control their emotions.
Dr. Xiao examined Yuanyuan and diagnosed that she hadn't been pinched by a person.
"Not pinched? How could that be?" Ye Yunniang didn't believe it.
Ye Yunniang raised three children, and she knew very well what bruises and bumps looked like.
The bruises on Yuanyuan's thighs were in stripes with clear borders.
It's obviously a pinch mark.
"Let the doctor finish speaking first," Jiang Mingzhe said, pressing down on the agitated Ye Yunniang.
"Madam is meticulous; the borders of the bruises are clear. However, Madam missed one thing. Our fingernails are round, so the bruises we create have an arc. The young master's bruises are straight, without any broken skin or subcutaneous swelling..."
The doctor explained in detail the difference between pinching and bruising, and finally arrived at a diagnosis.
Yuanyuan sustained minor injuries from bumping into a table corner or something similar.
What we need to figure out now is whether it was an accidental collision or someone did it intentionally?
"I've come to check." Gu Cundong, who had drunk too much and hadn't gone home, rushed over after receiving the news.
Gu Cundong's diagnosis was consistent with the doctor's.
Gu Cundong also recalled that during the day, when he was holding Yuanyuan and exchanging pleasantries with someone, his movements were a bit too vigorous. Yuanyuan and his arm bumped into the corner of the table together.
Gu Cundong rolled up his sleeve, revealing a bruise on his arm.
It turns out the bruises on Yuanyuan's thighs were from an accidental collision.
It was a false alarm.
Ye Yunniang's body went limp.
Jiang Mingzhe hugged Ye Yunniang, "Doctor Gu, please take a look at my wife."
Gu Cundong took her pulse and said, "She's emotionally agitated; she'll calm down after a while."
After seeing the doctor and Gu Cundong off, the wet nurse took Yuanyuan back to the house.
Only the couple, who had recovered, were inside the house.
Recalling the day's events, the two burst into laughter.
After laughing, Ye Yunniang leaned against Jiang Mingzhe's chest.
"Don't scare yourself in the future."
"good."
"With you as my support, I'm not afraid of anything."
Ye Yunniang may be timid in other matters, but she is very strong when it comes to her children.
Unlike Ye Yunniang, Jiang Mingzhe was not afraid of anything except the matter of children.
The two complement each other well.
The next day, everyone else in the Jiang family knew about Yuanyuan's injury.
Her family's distress made Yuanyuan slow to realize that she was injured.
His eyes were brimming with tears, which broke the hearts of his grandmother, aunt, and brothers who came to see him.
He glared at Gu Cundong as if he didn't care about the cost of his eyes.
Gu Cundong believed that a look could kill, and he would have been torn to pieces long ago.
Ye Yunniang couldn't bear to watch any longer and urged the children to go do their own thing.
"Pingping, you should go see the new shop with Wen Nuan. Don't make your Aunt Wen Nuan wait for you."
"An'an, you're going to help out at Chu's Pharmacy with your senior brother today. Go early, don't be late."
"Shushu, didn't you make an appointment with your sister to buy hair accessories today? You should go to Prince Jing's residence to pick her up."
"Mother, you and Princess Yanping made an appointment to visit the Moon God Temple."
The person Ye Yunniang pointed out remembered what they had to do that day, hugged Yuanyuan, and left.
In the end, only Li Pan, who was preparing for the exam, remained at home.
Earl Jiang Mingzhe's status allows him to be recommended for a place at the Imperial Academy.
Even though it's called a recommendation, there's still an assessment process.
Li Pan wanted to study at the Imperial Academy, and even more so, she didn't want to embarrass her parents.
Study hard for the exam.
"Mother, I'm going to read a book." Without Ye Yunniang saying anything, Li Pan put Yuanyuan down and went to read.
Yuanyuan was unhappy and reached out, yelling "Ah ah ah..." wanting Li Pan to hug her.
"Play with your little brother for a while." Ye Yunniang put Yuanyuan in Li Pan's arms, telling him to play with Yuanyuan for a while and not to stare at his book all the time.
"What time did you stay up reading last night?"
"I only watched for a short while." Ye Yunniang didn't believe Li Pan's words.
"Is your 'little while' at night, the end of Hai Shi (11 PM) or the beginning of Zi Shi (12 AM)?"
“It’s not that long, just a quarter past Hai Shi (around 10 pm),” Li Pan explained.
“Pan’er, you’re still young. Not getting enough sleep is bad for your health. Don’t you want your three younger brothers to all be tall and big like your father, while you and I are short? You won’t be able to find a wife in the future.”
Following Ye Yunniang's words, Li Pan imagined herself growing short and small. Three strong and robust younger brothers stood beside her.
He shook his head; he didn't want to.
"Mom, I will go to bed earlier from now on."
"Don't talk about the future. Starting tonight, you need to go to bed early. I'll have Qingyuan keep an eye on you."
Qingyuan, whom Ye Yunniang mentioned, was the servant that Jiang Mingzhe assigned to Li Pan to take care of her daily life.
After handing Yuanyuan over to Li Pan, Ye Yunniang, along with Qiushuang, packed their bags and directed the servants to pack their belongings.
The Emperor bestowed upon the Earl of Suyan's mansion, and in another month, people can move in and live there. The household items need to be slowly packed and organized.
Whenever the Su Yan Earl's Mansion is mentioned, Jiang Mingzhe complains to Ye Yunniang more than once in private that the emperor is stingy.
The earl's mansion, which had been granted as a reward, was dilapidated, overgrown with weeds, and filled with sewage.
The Ministry of Works inspected the site and suggested that demolishing and rebuilding would be the fastest solution.
Jiang Mingzhe had no choice but to sign an IOU with Li Ping and borrow 400,000 taels of silver from him to repair the Su Yan Earl's Mansion.
As the couple became more familiar with each other, Ye Yunniang discovered another small quirk of Jiang Mingzhe.
They love to complain.
I used to have no one to believe me, and I kept complaining to myself.
Now, Jiang Mingzhe likes to vent to Ye Yunniang before going to bed.
The most criticized characters are the emperor and his sons.
In Ye Yunniang's mind, the emperor was stingy, petty, and loved to put on airs.
The princes were hot-tempered, cunning, and averse to meat.
Jiang Mingzhe's complaints greatly diminished Ye Yunniang's awe of the royal family.
Listen, just like any ordinary family, they also have their share of right and wrong.
Ye Yunniang would occasionally complain to Jiang Mingzhe about the strange things she encountered during the day.
The couple's relationship grew stronger in this way.
"Father and Mother, they're becoming more and more alike." This was Li Ping's comment about the two of them.
Li Pan and Ang Lee did not say it, but they shared the same view.
