31 Pig Cage Dipping



As the noise went on, the sky turned white and the autumn rain that had fallen all night stopped. However, there was still no movement in the bridal chamber. The old lady became extremely angry and she threw away her manners and face and walked towards the door of the bridal chamber without caring about anything else.

Gu Xingnuo had no choice but to reach out and pull his grandmother with all his strength, saying, "Grandma, you can't go in!"

After a night of stalemate, the old lady's patience was exhausted and she raised her hand to hit Gu Xingnuo again.

Madam Sun stood in front of Gu Xingnuo and said, "Grandma, if you want to punish someone, punish your granddaughter-in-law."

Several maids and old women came forward to try to stop the fight, and the situation got out of control again.

"What are you doing?" A thunder-like voice came from the gate of the courtyard.

Everyone looked back together.

Gu Chen was still wearing the clothes he wore last night. His face was as stern as iron as he strode into the courtyard.

When the servants saw the old marshal, they lowered their heads and stepped aside.

The old lady lowered her raised hand and watched her old man walk up to her.

"What are you going to do?" Gu Chen asked, standing on the steps under the corridor.

"Grandfather," Gu Xingnuo ran to the old marshal's side without waiting for the old lady to speak, and said, "The princess is treating Xinglang."

"It's been a whole night," the old lady said anxiously, "We have no idea what happened to Xinglang!"

At this time, the door of the bridal chamber was opened from the inside. Yu Xiaoxiao rubbed her eyes and walked out of the room, followed by several doctors.

As soon as Yu Xiaoxiao came out, the old lady stopped talking and stared at Yu Xiaoxiao along with everyone else in the yard.

Yu Xiaoxiao looked at the people standing outside the door and said, "The operation was quite successful. He should be fine now."

"Are you okay?" Gu Xingnuo didn't bother to explain anything to Gu Chen anymore. He walked a few steps to Yu Xiaoxiao and said, "Can Xinglang's foot heal?"

"That's about right," Yu Xiaoxiao nodded and said to Nanny Wang, "Mammy, take someone in to clean up the room."

"Yes," Nanny Wang responded to Yu Xiaoxiao and entered the bridal chamber with several palace maids.

The old lady said to Yu Xiaoxiao anxiously, "I want to see Xinglang."

"Come in," Yu Xiaoxiao made way in front of the door.

The old lady and Madam Xu hurried into the room.

Seeing Qingyu was about to follow her into the room, Madam Sun raised her hand to stop the maid and asked, "What are you going in for?"

Qingyu looked up at Yu Xiaoxiao.

"The family just needs to go in and take a look," Yu Xiaoxiao said with a yawn.

Qingyu bit her lips until they turned white, but she didn't have the courage to find Yu Xiaoxiao to make trouble in front of the old marshal, so she stepped aside.

"Xinglang!" The old lady's loud voice came from the room.

The shouting sounded mournful with a crying tone, and it made the old marshal and several others outside the house shudder.

Yu Xiaoxiao was also surprised. Gu Xinglang was fine, so why was the old lady screaming like that? She turned around and went into the house.

Gu Chen brought Gu Xingnuo and his wife, as well as Mrs. Lin into the house.

When the old lady saw Yu Xiaoxiao approaching the bed, she reached out to grab Yu Xiaoxiao and said sternly, "What did you do to Xinglang?!"

Yu Xiaoxiao leaned slightly to the side, avoiding the old lady's hand, and said, "What's wrong with him?"

Seeing Yu Xiaoxiao still expressionless at this time, even Madam Xu was angry and asked, "Why can't we wake Xinglang up?"

Everyone in the room could hear the tone of Mrs. Xu's questioning, except Yu Xiaoxiao, who couldn't hear it. She still said with a blank face, "The anesthetic hasn't worn off yet. He's sleeping."

"Yes," the old doctor also spoke up for Yu Xiaoxiao at this time, and said, "Madam, the third young master just fell asleep." After watching the entire process of Yu Xiaoxiao treating Gu Xinglang's injuries, although the old doctor did not fully understand it, he knew that the two broken tendons of the third young master Gu were really reconnected.

Gu Chen walked to the bed and touched Gu Xinglang's face. Gu Xinglang's breathing was steady and his body temperature was normal, so he was indeed sleeping soundly.

The old doctor said to Gu Chen: "Marshal, the Third Young Master's tendons have been reconnected by Her Royal Highness the Princess. If they can grow back, then the Third Young Master can really recover!"

This sentence was enough to surprise the Gu family.

The old lady and Madam Xu cried again, but this time they were crying tears of joy.

Nanny Wang walked to the side of Yu Xiaoxiao, looked at the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law standing together in tears, and said in a cold voice: "It's good that the prince consort is okay. There was a lot of noise last night. If the prince consort had been injured, our princess would have been thrown into the pig cage."

The old lady and Mrs. Xu both stopped crying, looking embarrassed and unable to speak.

Yu Xiaoxiao was curious and asked, "What is a pig cage?"

Seeing that her princess was still confused and had no idea that she was being bullied by the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, Nanny Wang's face darkened and she said, "The princess is willing to do this thankless task. What else can I say?"

"Brother, what is a pig cage?" Yu Xiaoxiao was still interested in this.

How should Gu Xingnuo answer this?

"It means locking people in cages and throwing them into water to drown them," Nanny Wang explained to Yu Xiaoxiao with great precision.

"Then why is it called a pig cage?" Yu Xiaoxiao asked again.

Nanny Wang was speechless. This is not the point, okay?

"Ah," Yu Xiaoxiao touched her stomach and said, "I'm hungry."

Gu Chen hurriedly said, "Quick, go prepare food for Her Royal Highness the Princess."

Madam Sun said to the old lady, “Grandma, since Xinglang is fine, let’s go out first.”

The old lady's face was burning with pain at the moment, and Sun gave her a way out, and immediately said, "Then let's go."

Nanny Wang and her group looked at the old lady and Madam Xu walking out with displeasure. The old lady was quite shameless. She had been making a fuss all night, but now she walked away as if nothing had happened.

Gu Xingnuo walked up to Yu Xiaoxiao with an awkward look on his face and whispered, "Your Highness, I'm sorry for putting you in such a difficult position."

"Hmm?" Yu Xiaoxiao was confused. What was so difficult about saving Gu Xinglang?

"Grandma and mother just, just care about Xinglang," Gu Xingnuo explained to Yu Xiaoxiao again.

It is understandable that the patient's family members are emotional. Yu Xiaoxiao waved at Gu Xingnuo, meaning that it was okay.

Gu Xingnuo felt even more guilty. What the old lady said last night were not nice.

"Come and serve tea after the meal," the old marshal walked up to Yu Xiaoxiao and said in a low voice with a pleasant face.

Although she didn't know what serving tea was, Yu Xiaoxiao still nodded and said, "I know, Grandpa. I'll go after I finish my meal."

The old marshal took Gu Xingnuo out of the bridal chamber and asked Gu Xingnuo as they walked in the courtyard, "What's the maid's name?"

Gu Xingnuo said: "Who did Grandfather ask?"

Gu Chen looked at his eldest grandson.

Gu Xingnuo could only say: "Qingyu."

"Send him away," the old marshal said coldly, "and you go and do it yourself."
