Wan Qingmiao nodded repeatedly, "Okay, I'll take note of it."
Doctor Dai glanced at Xizhi and added, "Madam, I think you haven't been sleeping well lately. Your Qi and blood are a little deficient. You can take a dose of tranquilizing soup before bed to help you sleep."
"Didn't sleep well?" Xu Jiang was slightly stunned.
Xizhi explained: "It's just that I wake up occasionally, it's nothing serious."
Doctor Dai said, "You must not take it lightly. If you are restless and your Qi and blood are depleted, it is easy for wind evil to enter the body. Furthermore, your illness originated from your heart, so you must be more vigilant to prevent the disease from recurring."
Wan Qingmiao looked at Xu Jiang, whose expression was slightly gloomy.
After the diagnosis, Dr. Dai prescribed a prescription for tranquilizing soup and then said goodbye to everyone.
Wan Qingmiao personally sent the person out, and Liu Mei called all the maids away, leaving only the mother and daughter.
Xu Jiang sat down next to Xizhi and asked, "Mother can't sleep well, is it because of me?"
Xizhi knew she couldn't hide it from her, so she didn't deny it. "I guess you dream about what you think about during the day. Lately, I've been dreaming about the time when you were taken away. When I think about you leaving, I worry that I won't see you again."
Xu Jiang dragged her hand and placed it on her face. "I'm back. I'm right in front of you. Feel it."
Xizhi touched her warm cheek and smiled slightly, but tears welled up in her eyes.
"I won't be taken away from you again. I'm grown up and I know the way. No matter how far I go, I can find my way back to see you." Xu Jiang wiped her face and said, "Mother can't bear to leave me, but how can I bear to leave her? Why don't I stay a few more days and return to the capital later?"
Xizhi shook her head. "You've been staying here long enough, and the longer you stay, the more reluctant I am to leave."
Her daughter is so well-behaved and good that she wishes she could keep her by her side forever, but she cannot restrain her because of her own selfish desires.
Xu Jiang felt a little uncomfortable, so she raised her hands to hug her and comforted her, "Then you must listen to Divine Doctor Dai and take good care of yourself. When you are better, I will take you to the capital to stay for a while."
"Um."
"You still want to drink the tea that Terutsuki and I made."
"Tea?" Xizhi paused while stroking her back. "You want me to attend your wedding?"
"Of course I do. I'm just worried about your health, so I want to wait until Dr. Dai sees you before discussing it. If you can withstand the long journey, I'll send someone to pick you up. If you can't go, I'll bring him to see you."
Even a stupid son-in-law has to meet his mother-in-law.
"I can handle it," Xizhi said immediately. "You just heard from Divine Doctor Dai that I'm much healthier now. Your wedding is still six months away. As long as I take good care of myself, I'll definitely be able to make the journey to the capital and catch your wedding ceremony."
"Are you still having wild thoughts?"
"Don't think about it anymore." Xizhi promised.
Xu Jiang nodded with satisfaction and hooked her fingers with her. "Then it's a deal. I'll come pick you up in the spring of next year. Before that, you have to take good care of yourself, otherwise you won't be able to go."
"good."
With their knot untied, both mother and daughter looked cheerful. They hugged each other for a long time until Wan Qingmiao came back.
Wan Qingmiao's expression was unusually serious. He complained, "Mother, why didn't you tell me earlier that you couldn't sleep well? If Divine Doctor Dai hadn't come today, were you planning to keep it a secret?"
Xizhi has been living in Tingyun Pavilion these days, so it is inconvenient for Wan's father and son to come over all the time. In addition, Xizhi usually acts like nothing happened, so the father and son didn't notice it.
Not to mention the father and son, even Xu Jiang, who spent every day with her, didn't notice anything wrong.
She hid it very well.
Seeing her son angry and worried, Xizhi said guiltily, "It's my fault. I thought it wasn't a big deal and didn't want to worry you, but now it seems like it's the opposite of what I thought."
"Do you know how worried I am about you getting sick again?" Wan Qingmiao's eyes turned red. "Yet you don't take your health seriously at all."
Xizhi has been ill these years, and Wansheng is not much better.
Wan Qingmiao is not really stupid, nor does he understand nothing or know nothing. He just doesn't want to burden his father anymore and doesn't want to be without anyone to rely on when the two of them can no longer hold on.
He hoped day and night that his mother would get better, so that his father would get better, and their family would get better. So when Xu Jiang came to his house and his mother responded to her, he tried so hard to keep her. When he learned her identity, he didn't even dare to feel a trace of jealousy.
Just because she gave him hope.
Fortunately, Xu Jiang did not disappoint him. His mother and the family gradually got better because of her arrival.
Now, his mother has finally regained consciousness and is getting better, but she doesn't take her body seriously. How can he not be afraid and anxious?
Seeing her son was truly sad, Xizhi quickly stood up, took his hand, and promised, "It won't happen again."
Xu Jiang also stepped forward and said, "It's all my fault for being careless. I'll stay with my mother tonight and make sure she sleeps soundly." Seeing that his expression had improved, she added, "Don't be angry now. It's a big holiday and you're making fun of yourself."
"I'm not angry, I'm anxious." Wan Qingmiao's face softened, and he said a little aggrievedly, "Mother only cares about my sister and doesn't think about me and my father. If anything happens to you, what will my father and I do?"
Xizhi was really distressed now, and quickly assured her, "It's my fault. I won't do this again."
Xu Jiang smiled and slapped his hand. "Why are you arguing? If Mother only cared about me, she would have left with me long ago. If you say anything that makes Mother sad again, I'll beat you up."
Wan Qingmiao saw that his mother was really sad, and quickly changed his expression. "Mom, I was anxious at the moment, so I said that nonsense. Please don't take it to heart."
"What nonsense did you say to your mother?" A voice came from the door. Everyone turned around and saw that it was Wansheng.
"I...nothing, nothing." Wan Qingmiao hid behind Xu Jiang and Xizhi guiltily.
Xizhi said hurriedly, "It's just a child's spoiled talk." Then she changed the subject and asked, "Have the guests left?"
"Yes, he's gone." Wan Sheng's expression softened when he saw his wife. He asked, "Dr. Dai is gone too?"
"Gone." Xizhi felt her son tugging at her sleeve and said, "He said I'm feeling much better, but I haven't been sleeping well these past few days and I need some calming soup to help me recover."
Hearing that she was sleeping restlessly, Wan Sheng immediately frowned and walked over to ask, "What's going on?"
Xizhi winked at her son and daughter, and they understood and went out together.
Xu Jiang glanced back into the room, where two people were sitting opposite each other, whispering. She turned to look at Wan Qingmiao again, and saw that he had his head drooped. She asked, "Do you want some mooncakes?"
Speaking of mooncakes, a little girl would shout from under the eaves: "Girl, the mooncakes are out of the oven!"
Then, a rich fragrance wafted over.
Wan Qingmiao swallowed and nodded heavily, "Eat!"
