Chapter 922 Caught

Qiao Xi turned around and saw him taking off his coat and putting it aside, then walked in.

He did not walk over to her side, but instead drank a cup of warm water and waited for the chill in his body to dissipate before sitting down next to her. He looked at the pile of herbs on the tea table in front of him and said, "Is this for Zhongyi?"

"Well, he's damaged his foundation."

Qiao Xi's face was solemn.

Zhong Yi's foundation was damaged at such a young age. If she doesn't take good care of herself, it may be even harder to bear when she is older. However, this care is not decided by her alone, and the patient needs to cooperate on a regular basis.

Don't be fooled by Zhong Yi's seemingly nice words, he is actually not an obedient person.

Sun Weimeng chimed in, "Not only that, he's also blind. Qiao Xi was just wondering if you could take him home to nurse him after he's discharged from the hospital."

Qiao Xi wanted to think about it again and tell Huo Xingzhou, but she didn't expect Sun Weimeng to speak so quickly.

Now that it's out, she won't be stubborn anymore.

"I do have this idea, but the Huo family belongs to you and me. So I need to ask for your opinion. It's okay if you find it inconvenient. You don't have to accommodate me out of consideration for my feelings."

Qiao Xi didn't want Zhong Yi's intervention to cause Huo Xingzhou to feel resentful.

Huo Xingzhou's face was calm, and his tone was casual: "It's okay, let him stay here. You can rest assured that he has been cured."

So magnanimous?

Sun Weimeng couldn't help but widen his eyes. Is this still Huo Xingzhou?

In the past, he would get jealous whenever Qiao Xi mentioned the name Zhong Yi.

Now I am willing to let my rivals live with me and live with them.

Huo Xingzhou has changed.

Qiao Xi was also a little stunned, but then a smile appeared in her eyes: "Okay, then clean up the room on the first floor and let them live in it. He is blind and it is not convenient for him to go up and down the stairs."

"Well, I'll let Sun Weimeng clean it up."

"Why should I clean up?" Sun Weimeng, a young master, had never done such things as making beds or cleaning. "Where's Xiaoyuan?"

When Huo Xingzhou heard him mention Xiaoyuan, his eyes dimmed slightly: "She is in charge of the food there recently. I asked Aunt Qian to come over from Haicheng today."

"Aunt Qian is coming?" Qiao Xi's face suddenly showed joy.

Aunt Qian was the first person she met at the Huo family, and she was especially nice to her.

After Qiao Xi came to the capital, she missed Aunt Qian very much, as well as her nagging warmth. No matter how delicious Xiao Yuan's cooking was, it lacked the taste of home. But she was afraid that Aunt Qian would not be able to travel as she was getting older, so she never mentioned this matter.

I originally thought that I would be able to return to Haicheng soon, but I didn't expect that Zhong Yi would encounter such a thing.

It’s great news that Aunt Qian is coming.

Even Sun Weimeng couldn't help but cheer, "I miss Aunt Qian's cooking so much! When will she arrive?"

"Just outside, Lao Chen is helping with the luggage."

The words had just fallen.

Sun Weimeng ran out at the speed of wind, saying in a flattering tone: "Auntie Qian!"

"Aunt Qian, let me help you get your things!"

Qiao Xi quickened her pace and walked out quickly, the eagerness in her eyes evident.

The two of them left Huo Xingzhou aside.

"Young Madam!"

Aunt Qian dropped all her bags on the ground. When she saw Qiao Xi coming out, she quickly supported her and said, "Young Madam, please be careful when you walk. The road outside is slippery and you must not fall."

Aunt Qian's eyes were filled with tears. She finally came to the capital!

"Young Madam, you've lost weight! It's obvious that life in the imperial capital is not easy. Aunt Qian will make sure you eat until you are plump and white." She pulled Qiao Xi and looked at her again and again, her eyes falling on Qiao Xi's belly again.

It’s just a three-month-old belly, even if it’s twins, you can’t see anything.

"Oh, Madam, the food in the imperial capital must not suit your taste. I will cook authentic Haicheng dishes for you in the evening, and you will enjoy your meal." Her first task in coming to the imperial capital was to feed the fat Madam!

Sun Wei pushed forward and said, "Aunt Qian, do you think I have lost weight?"

Aunt Qian nodded: "You've lost so much weight! Aunt Qian still has to cook for you! Xiaoyuan is young and her cooking skills are not as good as mine. She doesn't know your taste either."

As soon as Aunt Qian arrived, she wanted to take the position of chef, and she couldn't let the little girl take it away.

Qiao Xi took her arm and said affectionately, "I like Aunt Qian's cooking. It always tastes like home. Every time I'm hungry, I always look forward to Aunt Qian coming to the capital. I didn't expect that she would really come. You must have been tired from the long journey. Let's go in and rest for a while."

"That won't do. I still have so many treasures to pack up."

Aunt Qian looked at the full trunk and said, "These are supplements. These are the pickles I made, and some are handmade seasonings. The seasonings sold outside are not so clean, and these pickles have very little salt. And the green leafy vegetables here are all picked from my own small vegetable garden. These are wild delicacies, and pregnant women cannot eat those things with additives."

She was very thoughtful.

"And here is the baby's swaddle. I sewed it myself, using patchwork fabrics that I found back home."

"These are special products brought for friends in the capital. Madam, you must have made quite a few friends in the capital after being here for so long. They can be given away as gifts. Also..."

I can’t even count the things Aunt Qian brought.

The hundred-family quilt made Qiao Xi's eyes tear up. Each and every strip of cloth was begged from every family, and was sewed so beautifully by Aunt Qian.

Qiao Xi choked up and said, "Aunt Qian, you are so kind."

"Oh, if I don't treat you well, who else can I treat well? Madam, you must take good care of yourself and give birth to the two babies in your belly safely. From now on, I will take care of your children."

"Let's go back to the house first."

"Yes, yes! We can't freeze our young lady."

Aunt Qian was about to leave with the two jars, but Sun Weimeng took them over with a tactful look: "Aunt Qian, I'll do it! You and Qiao Xi go in and talk first, we'll move all these things."

"Then I'll trouble you, Young Master Sun."

Aunt Qian smiled and led Qiao Xi inside. As they walked, she asked her how many weeks she was pregnant, whether she had morning sickness, whether her taste had changed, and whether she should avoid certain foods.

This feeling made Qiao Xi feel warm and at peace, and she felt as if she had found a backbone.

Aunt Qian is just like my mother.

Her kindness is always without purpose.

"Aunt Qian, I'm fine. It's even better to see you."

Qiao Xi poured her a glass of water and asked her to sit on the sofa.

The smile on Aunt Qian's face never diminished. She looked at Qiao Xi, then at Huo Xingzhou who was sitting next to her, and couldn't help but nodded.

Hello everyone!

She just looks a little thinner. She has to ask Xiaoyuan what she does every day. How can she lose weight in the middle of winter?

"Master, where is Xiaoyuan?" Aunt Qian looked around but didn't see the child.

Huo Xingzhou put down the water cup and said in a somewhat cold tone: "Grab it."

Catch...catch it?

Qiao Xi was so frightened that she almost thought she was hallucinating. Didn’t he say he was going somewhere else to cook?
