A few days passed with relative ease.
One day in June, An Li was embroidering a peace sachet for her husband.
"Madam, Master Zhou's second daughter-in-law requests an audience."
The servant came to report.
An Li put down the half-embroidered sachet and asked someone to come in.
As soon as she came in, Zhou Ershi said, "Princess, I met you that day at the Minister of Justice's residence."
"My father is seriously ill and urgently needs a strengthening pill, but he can't find any at Piaomiao Pavilion. I hope the princess will sell one to the Zhou family."
"No matter how much it costs, it's fine!"
She went straight to the point without any prelude.
An Li frowned. Is Old Master Zhou seriously ill? How come no one has ever heard of this?
I wonder how Old Lady Zhou is doing?
"That's ridiculous! Old Lady Zhou treats Xinbao like her own granddaughter. How could she ask you for money for the Strengthening Pills?"
"Wait a moment, I'll take the strengthening pills and go with you."
An Li said, let her rest assured.
Afterwards, she asked the maid to serve tea and returned to her bedroom.
He took two strengthening pills, asked Chunliu to hold his sleeping daughter, and went out with her.
Back in the front hall, An Li hurriedly said, "Mrs. Zhou Er, let's go."
Several people hurriedly got on the carriage and headed towards Zhou's mansion.
After entering, Mrs. Zhou Er's eyes turned red and she shouted hoarsely, "Mother, the princess is here, Dad is saved!"
Pushing the door open, An Li followed in.
“Cough cough cough…”
Then I saw a very thin old man lying on the bed, his face pale and extremely weak.
The windows were tightly closed, and the room was filled with a lingering smell of medicine.
Old Lady Zhou's eyes were already swollen from crying. "Princess, please excuse me for running. I'm afraid this old man's life cannot be saved..."
Old Master Zhou's face was pale and he was gasping for breath.
He looks like he is about to die!
His three sons and several grandchildren were also standing by, crying uncontrollably.
An Li was surprised, because Old Master Zhou was blessed by the Xiyuan spirit!
Without time to think about it, he took a quick look and said, "If you believe me, please open the window and ventilate."
When Mrs. Zhou and the others heard this, they immediately ran over to open the window.
Now, we can only try our best!
Then, An Li flipped his hand and took out a body-strengthening pill, "Hurry up and give this to the old master."
She thought it looked like the symptoms of a severe cold.
Old Lady Zhou took it without any doubt, pried open the old man's mouth and put it in.
He prayed in his heart that the King of Hell would spare his life.
A moment later.
"Well……"
Old Master Zhou let out a low, gurgling sound from his throat, and then his breathing became smoother and his face became visibly red.
He slowly opened his eyes, coughed, and looked at the people around him, "Water..."
Hearing this, everyone was surprised and relieved.
Old Master Zhou's eldest son brought the water over and fed him a few spoonfuls.
After drinking it, he closed his eyes and fell asleep again.
Everyone looked at An Li, who was the great contributor to their family.
Old Lady Zhou led everyone to kneel down to An Li!
"Thank you, Princess, for saving my life." said Old Lady Zhou.
An Li was startled and stepped forward to help the old lady and the others up. "Old lady, there's no need to be like this. This is nothing."
"There is one thing I want to ask, I wonder if the old lady is willing to do it?" she said with a smile.
"Princess, please speak."
"The mansion adopted a lovely baby girl and wanted to entrust her to a pure and loving family, but she has not been found yet."
"Since the Zhou family is short of a granddaughter, would the old lady be willing to adopt one?"
"She's one year and three months old. Her name is Qingqing. She's very cute and has no flaws."
An Li preached with a smile.
The little girl was raised by Shuanghua and Shuangxue, and she was white and chubby.
She was also given a name, Qingqing.
She has held the baby several times and often plays with Xinbao.
"willing!"
"I'd love to!"
Old Lady Zhou said in surprise.
"Eldest and second eldest families, who of you wants a daughter?" He turned around and asked the two daughters-in-law.
Mrs. Zhou Er said without hesitation, "Mother, my daughter-in-law is willing."
She already had three sons and just wanted a soft and cute daughter.
"Mom, my daughter-in-law wants it too." Mrs. Zhou also stood up.
She was fed up with the two little bastards getting into trouble every day.
Old Lady Zhou clapped her hands. Both daughters-in-law wanted it, so she couldn’t give it half to each of them!
"How about this, we raise the little girl together. She's the Zhou family's little daughter, and no one dares to bully her."
Old Lady Zhou thought of a solution, and her two daughters-in-law readily agreed.
"Oh yeah!"
"We're going to have a little sister!"
The four boys jumped up and were kicked a few times by their fathers.
"Grandfather is still unconscious, and you're already making a lot of noise. You guys should get out of here and make a scene."
Boss Zhou scolded with a stern face.
As a result, the four boys were not afraid at all. They made faces and ran away.
An Li covered his mouth and smiled. Every time he came here, he would see these kids getting beaten.
She smiled and said, "Old Lady, let's go see Qingqing tomorrow."
I feel a little reluctant in my heart, but I would be happier if the Zhou family adopted the child.
"Okay, let's go early tomorrow morning."
Old Lady Zhou made the decision and soon asked the housekeeper to arrange the best supplies for the baby girl.
Afterwards, An Li gave the old lady another strengthening pill, sat down to drink some tea, and then went back.
After arriving home, she couldn't help but worry when she saw that her daughter had not woken up yet.
"Madam, Ming Yuanbo is here to scold me again!"
At this time, Chunhe came back from outside and said with a pout.
Ever since the day he sent the second wife's family to the mass grave, Ming Yuanbo seemed to have changed his personality and would often come to the door to curse.
