"Madam, this is bad..."

The little maid hurried to the door of the main room and reported to Xiao Yunrou who was handling chores, with an anxious look on her face.

"What an unruly girl! You are so reckless! If you offend the Crown Prince's wife, I will punish you!"

Hongzhuang glared at the maid and whispered a rebuke. The maid felt a little aggrieved, but she dared not fail to report the matter since it was a serious matter.

"Sister Hongzhuang, it's all my fault. Please listen to what I have to say before punishing you. But... Madam, the second young master of Haitangyuan had a fever last night and is now burning with fever. Madam, please go and take a look..."

"Have you called a doctor?" Xiao Yunrou asked slowly.

"Madam has already gone to ask for the imperial physician. I heard that the Second Young Master has fallen into a coma..."

The little maidservant became more and more anxious as she spoke. Not long after Xiao Yunrou got married, the Madam had delegated the power over the household affairs in the mansion, and now all of them were in the hands of her own young master's wife. If Haitangyuan made trouble over this matter, her own Madam would not be able to explain herself.

The little maidservant was not a child of the Marquis's mansion, but she was able to serve in the main courtyard full of children of the Xiao family, which was more prestigious than the other courtyards. She did not have any great ambitions, but only knew that the master in front of her was kind and never punished her as long as she did not make any mistakes, and she was also given a high reward during festivals. Now that it was related to the interests of Derouyuan, she was naturally nervous.

Xiao Yunrou also put away her previous contempt, frowned slightly, stood up, straightened her clothes and went to Haitang Garden. She thought to herself, it seems that nothing like this happened before, and Pei Yuanshen grew up almost without any illness or disaster. Could it be that the time is too long and her memory is wrong?

"Since he had a high fever last night, why didn't anyone come to report it?"

Fever is very harmful to a newborn baby. If you are not careful, it may cost the baby's life.

"I don't know. I was on duty last night. It was quiet all night. Haitangyuan didn't send anyone."

Lu Yi explained in a low voice, and Xiao Yunrou only frowned. When the group arrived at Haitang Garden, it was already a busy place. Although there were still rules in the mansion, it looked orderly, but everyone's face was nervous and flustered.

Xiao Yunrou walked into the main room and saw the little man lying on the bed. His face was red and he was speaking in a weak voice. It was obvious that he was in great pain. She stepped forward and stretched out her hand to touch him. The heat surprised Xiao Yunrou.

"Madam, I beg you to let the Second Young Master go."

Aunt Shen, who was wiping her son's forehead with a cold towel with red eyes, knelt down on the ground without caring when she saw Xiao Yunrou coming in. The words that came out of her mouth were heard by the Marquis' wife who had just walked in, who was anxious for her offspring. She immediately swayed.

Xiao Yunrou's face darkened when she heard Aunt Shen's words. She had been thinking about the strangeness of today's incident, but now it seemed that it was Aunt Shen's trick. In order to exclude her, the wife of the first wife, she could actually attack her own newborn child. It was no wonder that her Xuan'er died under her calculations in her previous life.

"Mother." Xiao Yunrou glanced at Aunt Shen indifferently and bowed to the Marquis's wife.

"Hmph." The Marquis's wife snorted coldly and walked forward without paying any attention to Xiao Yunrou. She reached out to help Aunt Shen up, then looked at Pei Yuanshen again, her eyes reddened.

"My poor grandson, why is he so badly burned? Where is the doctor? Why hasn't he come yet?!"

Madam Hou said angrily, and even scolded Xiao Yunrou in dissatisfaction:

"I gave you the backyard to take care of, and I had a fever last night, but you didn't take the right medicine to call a doctor. What are you thinking?"

Xiao Yunrou felt that the Marquis's wife's red eyes were ironic. Looking at Aunt Shen who was crying silently beside her, she became more and more worried.

"If there hadn't been such a big commotion in Haitang Garden just now, I wouldn't have known that I had a high fever. No one came to Derou Garden to report this to me last night. If you don't believe it, there are always maids and servants on duty in every place in the Gui Mansion. Just bring them here to ask. But right now, the most important thing is how the second young master can get rid of the fever. If he continues to have a fever..."

Xiao Yunrou glanced coldly at Aunt Shen, who looked evasive with her eyes downcast, feeling flustered and uneasy in her heart.

"No, no, nothing will happen...Aunt, Aunt, please save him, save the Second Young Master..."

Aunt Shen knelt in front of the Marquis' wife in panic, which made the Marquis' wife's originally shaken heart suddenly firm. She looked at Xiao Yunrou hatefully and asked why the imperial physician had not arrived yet.

"Madam, the doctor is here!"

While everyone was thinking about different things, Imperial Physician Lu arrived. Imperial Physician Lu was the head of the Imperial Medical Court and was the most trusted by the Emperor and the Empress Dowager. Although the Marquis' wife had used the Marquis's plaque to invite the Imperial Physician, she did not expect to be able to invite Imperial Physician Lu.

"Lu Yuanzheng, you are old now. Please come and take a look at my darling grandson. He is only a few days old and has such a high fever..."

The marquis's wife wiped her tears with a handkerchief and personally invited Imperial Physician Lu in.

"Don't worry, Madam Hou, I will do my best."

Imperial Physician Lu comforted the Marquis' wife, walked into the room, looked at Xiao Yunrou standing quietly beside her, bowed to her, and then walked to the bedside to examine the Second Young Master.

A quarter of an hour later, Doctor Lu withdrew his hand, took out a silver needle and inserted a few needles into the patient's body. He then took the patient's pulse and nodded in satisfaction.

"I have written a prescription. It requires six bowls of water to boil one bowl of medicine. However, the Second Young Master is too young to drink it. You may as well let the nurse drink it and then feed him. However, at this time, wiping the Second Young Master's body with strong liquor will prevent his body temperature from rising. When the medicine is ready, he will just need to drink two tablets."

Doctor Lu quickly wrote down the prescription, but Xiao Yunrou did not take it. She directly instructed Banxia who was beside Aunt Shen:

"Banxia, ​​take the prescription to the storehouse and boil the medicine. Nanny Chen, go to the kitchen and get some strong liquor. Follow Dean Lu's instructions to wipe the Second Young Master's body."

"Thank you very much, Dean Lu, for today." After Banxia and Nanny Chen left in a hurry, Xiao Yunrou thanked Doctor Lu.

"Madam Crown Prince, you don't have to thank me. The Queen Mother was not feeling well today, and the doctors from the Imperial Hospital went to Dexiang Palace. Madam Hou and Madam Crown Prince had to wait for a long time."

Imperial Physician Lu stroked his beard and said, "But how could the Marquis's wife dare to blame the people in the Imperial Hospital? Even if she had complained before that the imperial physician came too slowly, it was because the Empress Dowager was ill, and she dared not snatch the physician from the Empress Dowager."

"The condition of the Lu Yuan is serious. The health of the Empress Dowager is the most important thing. Besides, it is a blessing for this child to be able to be taken care of by you."

The Marquis's wife said with a smile and had someone pass a purse into Lu Yuanzheng's hands.

"Madam Hou, the second young master's illness came so suddenly, it turned out to be a cold. If it happens again, I can't guarantee that I can pull him back from the brink of death..."

Doctor Lu shook his head, ignoring the reactions of the people in the room, and left with his pharmacist and medicine box. When the Marquis came to her senses, the Marquis glared at Aunt Shen.

"How did you get someone to take care of your child? Frozen? Huh?"

"Aunt, Tang'er didn't know... When I heard the news that the Second Young Master had a fever, it was almost dawn... Last night, last night... Yes, it was Chuncao who took care of the Second Young Master last night, Chuncao, where is Chuncao!"

Aunt Shen was crying uncontrollably. She finally remembered the maid who served her last night. After she said it out loud, Qiu Yi, who was sitting beside her, looked very ugly.

"Madam, I asked Chuncao to inform the Crown Prince's wife early this morning, but she hasn't come back yet."

"Liufeng, go and catch Chuncao!"

Outside the house, a deep male voice came from inside. Xiao Yunrou trembled, lowered her head, and her eyes were filled with complex light.

The voice she had heard for twenty years now made her unsure of how to face this husband who had given her unshakable status and dignity in her previous life and treated her with respect. She didn't even know how this man treated her body and their only child after she committed suicide.

When Pei Lingfeng walked in with a cold face and a hint of fatigue, Xiao Yunrou looked up and saw that he looked much younger than in her memory.

"Prince."

Xiao Yunrou lowered her eyes and bowed, not noticing the hidden excitement and guilt in Pei Lingfeng's eyes when he saw her.

Pei Lingfeng personally helped Xiao Yunrou up and said softly, "Thank you for your hard work." As for Aunt Shen who was crying beside him, he simply ignored her.

"Mother."

Pei Lingfeng bowed to the Marquis's wife with an expression of indifference and alienation, but because it was related to offspring, the Marquis's wife did not think much about it. Instead, there was a little more warmth in her eyes.

"Wind..." Just as Mrs. Hou opened her mouth, the sound of flowing wind came from outside the house.

"Sir, the man has been caught."

Liu Feng is Pei Lingfeng's personal bodyguard. He is very skilled in martial arts and very loyal, and is deeply trusted by Pei Lingfeng.

When they walked into the yard, they saw two women holding Chunfen down and kneeling in the yard. Liufeng respectfully handed over a package and explained the scene when he went to look for Chunfen.

"When I passed by, I saw this girl packing up her clothes and telling her brother to run away."

Liu Feng was a person who disdained betrayal and looked at Chunfen as if he was looking at something dirty.

Pei Lingfeng opened the package, and the things inside fell to the ground. Jewelry, banknotes, and a lot of small silver coins. Although they were not big things, they were not something a maid could have. Not to mention that there was also a kingfisher-inlaid magpie shawl inside.

When Xiao Yunrou saw the swing, her face changed slightly, and Aunt Shen exclaimed in surprise:

"Oh, isn't this the hairpin of the Crown Prince's wife?"

After saying this, Aunt Shen seemed to understand something and started crying again.

"Madam, I know I have hindered your eyes. I don't want your favor. I won't fight for anything. Please, don't attack the Second Young Master. He is so young and doesn't know anything. Just come to me..."

"Shut up!"

When Pei Lingfeng's cold eyes touched Aunt Shen, Aunt Shen shivered as if she was splashed with cold snow water.

"I have some impression of this hairpin. The green color..."

"Madam, have you forgotten? During the New Year, several cousins ​​came to the Marquis of Changning's mansion. Originally, this hairpin was meant for the cousins, but unfortunately it fell to the ground when I was picking it up. I thought it would be difficult to give it away, so I decided to store it in the warehouse and never touched it again. I didn't expect to see it here today."

After saying this, Lu Yi stared at Chunfen and said:

"How did the jewelry I kept in the warehouse end up in your hands? Did you sneak into the warehouse? Damn girl, you are so shady!"
