Chapter 1187 Good Things
Manbao helped Fu Wenyun sit down on the quilt, felt her pulse, and nodded. Nanny Fu also carried the child onto the carriage. Fu Wenhua sat directly on the shaft and waved her hand, saying, "Let's go!"
Feng Shu drove the carriage away, and Butler Xu then led his men out of Yue's house, ignoring the pulling of Yue Dalang and the others.
When Yue Dalang ran out, the carriage had already left the alley, and the servants of the Yin family were trotting behind the carriage. He was anxious and angry, and could only stomp his feet hard. He turned around and looked at his mother who was also stunned. Suddenly, he felt some resentment, and said "Oh" and turned back to the house.
Old Lady Yue quickly caught up with him and said, "Da Lang, what should we do? What should we do? When your father gets home and finds out, he'll be so angry."
When Master Yue came home last night and learned about Fu Wenhua's visit to Beijing, he was furious. He felt that Yue Dalang couldn't even handle his family affairs properly, so why bother making excuses for something like yesterday? He should just apologize directly.
He had just arrived in the capital and hadn't gotten to know everyone yet. There had been a lot going on in the capital lately, and he'd been leaving early and coming back late every day, trembling with fear. As a result, his son couldn't even handle this little household chore...
Yue Dalang froze when his mother called him that. He gritted his teeth, came back to his senses, and found a more alert servant and said, "Go and see where they rented a house."
The servant agreed and hurriedly chased after him.
Yin Huo was very satisfied with the efficiency of his servants. He waved his hand and asked Changshou to give them rewards, and then let them go home.
Housekeeper Xu took them to the courtyard he had rented. Fu Wenhua carried his sister inside. Manbao checked her body and confirmed that she was fine. He smiled and said, "That's good now. Second sister can rest assured and recuperate."
Fu Wenyun smiled, took Manbao's hand and said, "Thank you very much."
"You're welcome." Manbao turned around and wrote her a new prescription, saying, "Second Sister Fu, you don't have to get acupuncture every day. From now on, just once every five days will be enough. This prescription is new, and the medicine is cheaper, but the efficacy is not much different."
Manbao handed the new prescription to Qiuyue. Knowing that they probably still had a lot to discuss, she didn't want to interrupt them any further, so she smiled and said, "I'll go back first and come see you again in a few days. If you feel unwell, you can go to Jishitang to see Doctor Tao, or you can come to Changqing Lane to see me."
Fu Wenyun asked, "Aren't you a monk at Jishitang?"
Manbao smiled and said, "It's not convenient these few days, so I won't go to the pharmacy for now. I'd rather spend more time at home."
Although Fu Wenyun was confused, she didn't ask any more questions and nodded in agreement.
After she left, she called Butler Xu to talk.
Nanny Fu put up a screen in front of the bed and let Butler Xu in. There were not as many rules as when they were at Yue's house.
Fu Wenyun first asked her parents. Knowing that they would be arriving in the next two days and also knowing how her father got the position of Chief Secretary, she pondered and asked, "Why is Miss Man not sitting in the Jishitang anymore?"
Butler Xu paused and said, "From what they said, it seems that Mr. Bai and Miss Man have offended the King of Yizhou and the Queen Mother."
Fu Wenyun asked, "Where did you hire those strong servants from?"
"It was borrowed by Mr. Bai's classmate, who said he was the son of the Jingzhao Yin family."
Fu Wenyun raised her lip and said, "Then please ask Steward Xu to go out and find out how they offended the King of Yizhou and the Queen Mother."
Butler Xu hesitated and said, "Miss, the master and mistress will be arriving in the next two days. We are unfamiliar with the place and it might be difficult to find out. Why not wait until the master arrives and then try to find a way to inquire at the Ministry of Personnel?"
"Why bother? Since the young master of the Bai family is studying at the Imperial College, you can just go to the gate and ask the servants waiting there. As for Jishidiang, I'll ask Qiuyue to ask when she goes to buy medicine." Fu Wenyun said, "We don't know many people in the capital. Apart from the Yue family, they are the only ones here."
Butler Xu sighed and agreed.
Manbao climbed onto the carriage, breathed a sigh of relief, and said happily, "Okay, starting tomorrow we'll just keep an eye on the Sky Prison."
Yin Huo was amused, "You can't even protect yourselves, yet you're so enthusiastic about other people's affairs."
Manbao said: "How can it be someone else's business? Sister Fu Er is my good friend."
Bai Shan nodded, "A friend who made you a lot of money."
Yin Huo was curious, "What do you mean?"
Manbao coughed lightly and changed the subject, "Is there still no news from the court? When will the King of Yizhou be sentenced?"
At present, Yin is the most well-informed among them. There is no other way. Mr. Zhuang and Mrs. Liu feel that their mission has been completed. They have begun to communicate the news from the outside world only with Mr. Xiang Liu and are not willing to tell the children.
Afraid they would leak it out.
Manbao and the others were very dissatisfied. Are they the kind of people who would leak secrets casually?
It turned out that they were. Yin Huo, who had just promised his grandmother not to tell anyone last night, said, "The Queen Mother is ill."
Seeing the four people looking at him, Yin Huo said seriously, "This time she is truly ill. I heard it's very serious. My grandmother went to the palace to visit her with the ladies-in-waiting two days ago. The Queen Mother looks more than ten years older than on her birthday. Her hair turned white overnight. Xiao Yuanzheng is now guarding the Queen Mother's palace and doesn't dare to leave."
He said, "Even the Queen's health is failing. The Queen Mother pleaded for mercy during her illness. In addition, the rebel leader in Yizhou has not yet been sent to the capital, so no verdict has been made yet. However, the three provinces have begun investigating the noble families, officials, and wealthy merchants who have ties to the King of Yizhou. People have already been arrested in nearby Taiyuan and other places."
Yin Huo said, "You may not feel it outside, but all the officials in the capital are feeling a little threatened. After all, the King of Yizhou was favored before, and many families have had dealings with him."
Bai Shan understood, "So it's hard to judge the King of Yizhou now?"
Yin Huo smiled and said, "It's difficult, but not too difficult. The officials naturally hope for a quick verdict. Otherwise, the longer it drags on, the more disadvantageous it will be for them. After all, no one knows who the King of Yizhou will implicate. But the Queen Mother is standing in the way. Your Majesty governs the country with filial piety. Even Lord Wei doesn't dare to force it at this moment."
If she was pretending to be sick, Lord Wei would not be afraid, and even Lord Tang and the others would not be too concerned, but she was really sick now.
The Empress Dowager was really mad. They didn't know whether the Emperor was in trouble or not, but they were most likely in trouble.
Bai Shan lowered his eyes in thought, thinking of the Xiang brothers who were hidden, and shook his head and said, "I always feel weird, as if something is wrong."
Manbao said: "I feel the same way."
Yin Huo asked, "Is it the Queen Mother who is wrong?"
Bai Shan shook his head. "The Queen Mother is right. If she hadn't delayed, that would have been wrong. I think the Emperor is wrong, but I can't put my finger on it. It's weird."
Bai Jilang said seriously, "I think you're weird. So, until this case is decided, you won't go to school?"
There was a tinge of envy in his tone that he himself didn't even notice. "Then if there's no judgment before the New Year, wouldn't you all be able to stay home this year?"
Bai Shan couldn't help but reach out and pat him, "Is this a good thing?"
Bai Jilang covered his head and cried out, "Isn't this a good thing?"
See you at 8pm
