After this battle, Xiao Tao and the people on Hong Yi Niang's side were completely at odds with each other.
But more often than not, she relied on Concubine Fang's power to find fault.
Zhuhong has a good way of controlling her servants and they won't argue with her easily.
Instead, he asked the people in the yard to be more tolerant and try to avoid conflicts with Xiaotao.
When this matter reached Shen Ruoyan, she was guarding Lu Yan.
Doctor Xu has developed a new acupuncture method that can help Lu Yan clear toxins from his body faster.
If it works, it will be of great help to him.
However, this acupuncture method is extremely painful and cannot be relieved, so every time, Lu Yan has to endure it to avoid being discovered.
At this time, he was sweating profusely and sitting in a wooden barrel with warm water in it, but he felt as if he was in boiling water, and Shen Ruoyan couldn't bear to watch it.
She took a chair and stayed beside Lu Yan, holding his hand tightly and giving him strength.
"Your Highness has a strong character. I've tried this acupuncture technique on others before. Even adults would scream like ghosts and wolves, but Your Highness managed to hold it in silence. It's truly rare."
Every time Doctor Xu came over, he was impressed by Lu Yan's character.
Such a young child can endure such great pain.
In the future, you will become a great person!
But in Shen Ruoyan's eyes, there was only heartache.
When Lu Yan came out of the bucket, his whole body was limp, as if he had lost all his strength and couldn't even stand steadily.
"Quick, carry the prince to the bed!"
The servant stepped forward, picked up Lu Yan, and gently placed him on Shen Ruoyan's bed.
Just as she was about to speak, a sudden announcement came from outside:
"The Marquis is here!"
Because he was going to treat Lu Yan, the outside of Shen Ruoyan's yard looked no different from ordinary, but it was actually surrounded by layers of defense, with people guarding every door.
The notification sound was very sharp, but it was quite far away. It seemed that Lu Jing had already entered the yard and had not yet reached her door.
"Quick, clean up this place!"
Shen Ruoyan gave an order and everyone started moving.
The wooden barrel was carried out directly from the window. Chun Xi threw a handful of incense powder into the incense burner, and the rich fragrance immediately filled her nose.
It also covered up the smell of medicine in the room.
Doctor Xu put away the medicine box and stood there. Shen Ruoyan looked at him and said:
"Later, I'll have to see Doctor Xu's cooperation."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Jing's voice was heard from outside. Then, the door was opened from the outside, and Lu Jing and his men came in directly!
"Greetings, Lord!"
When everyone in the room saw Lu Jing, they all began to bow. Doctor Xu was no exception.
Lu Jing was confused by the scene in front of him. He just came to talk to Shen Ruoyan about the midwife, so why did something look wrong here?
"Madam, are you feeling unwell?"
Lu Jing asked doubtfully.
After all, he saw Doctor Xu, who was equivalent to Shen Ruoyan's personal doctor.
Since he appeared here, naturally, he came for Shen Ruoyan.
"Thank you, Lord, for your concern. However, it's not me, but Yan'er."
"It turns out to be Yan'er..."
When Lu Jing heard that it was Lu Yan, he was no longer so nervous.
At this time, he also saw Lu Yan lying on the bed, and felt a little unhappy.
I've already walked up to him, and this guy doesn't even stand up to salute?
Have the rules of the Shen family been taught to the point of being incompetent?
"What happened to Yan'er?"
There was a hint of disgust in Lu Jing’s eyes, but when he turned his head to meet Shen Ruoyan’s gaze, it was all caring.
This is Shen Ruoyan's son, so she has to give her some face.
"My Lord, I just had Doctor Xu examine Yan'er. He said that Yan'er studied too hard, which is why he has a high fever. He has prescribed medicine, but he needs to stay at home and rest for the time being."
Originally, Lu Yan needed to have a good rest after receiving this acupuncture treatment.
But after each acupuncture treatment, he would fall asleep.
When Shen Ruoyan was thinking of what excuse to use to get away with it, Lu Jing just happened to come to the door.
"You don't know, Lord Marquis, but Yan'er doesn't want others to look down on the Marquis' Mansion. He studies until very late every day, reading all day long. I even have to hold him back until he goes to sleep!"
Upon hearing this, Lu Jing looked at Lu Yan with a complicated look.
If this child had not come from Shen Ruoyan's belly and was not a mute, then he would be the best heir to the Changning Marquis Mansion.
However, in this world, we cannot believe in ifs.
"It's hard for him to have such a heart, but health is the most important thing."
Lu Jing stepped forward and pretended to pull open the quilt that Lu Yan had covered himself with, then pressed it down randomly, as if he was pressing the quilt for his son.
Shen Ruoyan saw it and said at the right time: "I feel relieved with the words of the Marquis. Yan'er is a child who listens to the Marquis the most."
Lu Jing's face was somewhat proud, "Blood ties have always been like this."
He is his father. If Lu Yan doesn't listen to him, who should he listen to?
This is the good thing about this child: he is knowledgeable, interesting and well-behaved, so Lu Jing feels it is a pity.
Having achieved his goal, Shen Ruoyan was no longer in a hurry to get rid of him. Anyway, Lu Yan was lying here carefree, and it wouldn't arouse Lu Jing's suspicion.
Doctor Xu stepped forward and said, "Madam, the prince is ill. Just rest more in the future. If you have no other instructions, I will take my leave."
Shen Ruoyan nodded quickly, and then called out: "Doctor Xu has worked hard, Chunxi, go and see Doctor Xu off!"
Chunxi is the most trusted maidservant around Shen Ruoyan. Asking her to send Doctor Xu off is enough to show that Doctor Xu is different in Shen Ruoyan's eyes.
Doctor Xu didn't go out to see patients easily, and their mansion relied entirely on Shen Ruoyan's relationship.
Thinking of this, Lu Jing's expression softened a lot, and he explained his purpose:
"Madam, Hong'er is about to give birth. What do you think of the arrangements regarding the midwife?"
Madam Lu had actually already found a midwife, but Lu Jing always felt that what Shen Ruoyan had was the best.
So after thinking about it, I still want her to arrange someone else to come over, so that I can feel at ease.
And when he told Zhuhong about this idea, Zhuhong also strongly agreed.
Unlike Fang Rou, she always felt that she had no interest in the mistress's things, and every time she mentioned Shen Ruoyan, she would quarrel with her.
Shen Ruoyan calculated that it was time to get ready.
She pretended not to know what was going on with the old lady. Lu Jing didn't know what was going on in the backyard anyway, otherwise, he wouldn't have come to her and told her about it.
"Since the Marquis has asked me personally, I will invite the midwife who delivered me. She is very experienced, and many of the noble families in Shengjing City have come to her for help."
Lu Jing was delighted. He didn't expect Shen Ruoyan to agree so easily.
"That's great!"
