Chapter 22 Qi Yunshen: Okay, your father is not dead yet.
The Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.
Ever since Jiang Yunzheng gave her acupuncture that day, Madam Qi's health has improved a lot.
As long as he could get out of bed, he would not sit. In the past, his physical condition did not allow it, but now that he was in good spirits, he began to drag Princess Yude to Qi Yunshen to see if there were any suitable women of the right age.
If Qi Yunshen wants to inherit the title in the future, there must be a mistress in the backyard to take care of the house.
For the family, for the offspring.
The Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion needs a new Crown Prince's wife.
These days, Qi Yunshen has been going out early and coming back late every day, making it very difficult for the old lady and the eldest princess to see each other.
Fortunately, Qi Yunshen came back early today. As soon as the prince entered the door, he was stopped by the old lady's people. Qi Yunshen asked Qingying to take the pastries to Qi Zhenzhen and turned to go to De'an Courtyard.
Princess Yude was also there.
Qi Yunshen was dressed in black, which made him look even thinner. His already thin face looked even more fierce. His dark eyes looked a little helpless when they swept across the scroll on the table.
The old lady frowned and said distressedly: "How did the people below serve you? How did you become so thin?"
Qi Yunshen is the eldest grandson and the one the old lady loves the most.
Qi Yunshen pursed his lips and said, "Grandma, don't worry. Everything will be fine after this busy period."
Old Madam Qi also knew that the recent events of the Qinglian Sect had caused panic in the capital.
Especially at this morning's court session, His Majesty reappointed Prince Yu and transferred him from the Ministry of Rites. The Embroidered Uniform Guard was fully responsible for arresting the members of the Green Lotus Sect, with Prince Yu and Qi Yunshen assisting.
Madam Qi held the Buddhist beads in her hand and motioned Qi Yunshen to come forward. "Yan Hui, these are the women of marriageable age that your mother has collected. Do you think there are any suitable ones?"
Qi Yunshen's eyes were indifferent. "Grandson has no such intention. Grandmother and mother are worried."
Madam Qi sighed: "Even if you don't want a wife, Zhenzhen still needs a mother!"
Princess Yude's brows furrowed as she looked at her son's silent and deep profile. She couldn't help but feel sad. "Yan Hui, it's all fate that plays tricks on us. Those who are alive should look forward."
Look forward, look forward.
Everyone should be careful to look forward.
But why?
Why is Xu Jingyang the only one trapped in the narrow coffin four years ago? He looks forward, but what about his wife?
Xu Jingyang is afraid of the dark and timid, has an abnormal physique, and can't tolerate pain more than others.
What about his Jingyang?
Suddenly, Qi Yunshen's face turned pale and severe pain came to his head again.
Princess Yude and Madam Qi were startled, "Yan Hui?"
"Someone come quickly! Call a doctor!"
Qi Yunshen's eyes went dark and he spat out a mouthful of black blood.
Old Madam Qi ordered that Qi Yunshen was not allowed to go back. The doctor on duty in the Duke's Mansion diagnosed Qi Yunshen but could not find any result. He only said that it was caused by anger.
As a result, Old Madam Qi and Princess Yude did not dare to say anything more and provoke Qi Yunshen again.
Princess Yude wiped her eyes and said, "Mother, forget it. Just let him be."
Madam Qi's eyes were red with anger: "Your body and hair are given by your parents, and he is destroying his own body!"
In Zhining Courtyard, Qi Zhenzhen wanted to wait for his father to come back and eat cakes together, but he waited and waited but no one showed up.
Zhenzhen asked Zizhu to take her to De'an Courtyard. Old Madam Qi couldn't stop her. The little girl ran in and saw her father lying on the bed.
Seeing this, Qi Zhenzhen lay on Qi Yunshen and cried, tears streaming down her face.
Qi Yunshen was awakened by his daughter's crying, which was like a puppy nuzzling in his arms. The pain in his head faded away, and he pinched the bridge of his nose and said:
"Okay, your father isn't dead yet."
-
After Qin caused a big fuss in Qihuaju that day, she remained quiet for a few days.
The day before Shi Jingtao returned to the academy, he came to Qihuaju.
There was no one else in the courtyard, so Shi Jingtao said bluntly, "Sister-in-law, in this Shi Mansion, besides me, who else can you rely on in the future?"
Jiang Yunzheng was too lazy to say anything more and asked Wu You to pour a basin of cold water on Shi Jingtao. Shi Jingtao couldn't dodge in time and got half of his body soaked.
Shi Jingtao's face darkened with anger: "Jiang Yunzheng! How long do you think you can remain so proud? You'll have plenty of opportunities to beg me in the future."
Jiang Yunzheng was too lazy to say anything more and asked Wu Lu to pour out a basin of slop from the small kitchen. Now, Shi Jingtao was wet all over.
Laughter was heard in the yard, and even the steady Wu You couldn't help laughing.
The young lady brought back two powerful maids. Hongyu didn't think anything of it. She just felt that life was getting better and better and she had more hope.
After Shi Jingtao completely disappeared, Jiang Yunzheng called Wuyou and Wulu and whispered a few instructions to them, then handed Wuyou two prescriptions.
Early the next morning, Wuyou and Wulv left the house.
Jiang Yunzheng fiddled with medicinal herbs in the yard during the day, and only took Hongyu to Qingfeng Courtyard in the evening.
Since that day, Song seemed like a different person. She actively drank the medicine prepared by Jiang Yunzheng every day and even called the housekeeper of her shop outside.
No matter what Song was thinking, whether she wanted a divorce or not, at least she was standing up.
When Jiang Yunzheng arrived, Mrs. Yang was standing outside the main house with a worried look on her face, and a fierce quarrel could be heard from inside.
"Song Wanyun, don't even think about divorce!"
"So what if it was you, Song Wanyun, who funded me in the first place? It's true that my Shi family is originally from a farming family, but if it weren't for my parents, you, a young lady on the run, would have been eaten by who knows who!"
"What my Shi family owed you has been repaid over the years! I, Shi Tian, don't owe you anything anymore."
Song's voice was heartbroken: "What about Chaoqing? Chaoqing is your first child. After he left, he was bullied by Qin. You really have a cruel heart."
Ishida had a strange smile on his face and asked angrily, "Chao Qing? Is he really my son?"
Song's whole body suddenly lost all strength, "What do you mean? Ishida, you beast!"
When Ishida came out, Jiang Yunzheng and Hongyu quickly hid behind the corner.
Hongyu's eyes widened and she whispered, "Don't worry, Madam. I won't tell you anything!"
Jiang Yunzheng pursed her lips. After all these days of contact, she found that Hongyu was a loyal person.
But what did Ishida mean?
Shortly after Ishida left, Jiang Yunzheng looked at Yang Pozi. Yang Pozi shook her head at her and then went into the house.
In the room, Song was sitting at the table. When she saw Jiang Yunzheng, she smiled at her and asked, "Why are you here?"
Jiang Yunzheng moved her lips: "Mom...what happened just now?"
Song shook her head and didn't intend to explain it to her daughter-in-law. She just patted Jiang Yunzheng's wrist and said, "If Mother and Master Shi divorce in the future, are you willing to leave with Mother?"
Jiang Yunzheng paused, "Mom, what on earth happened?"
The customs of the Daliang Dynasty were much more open than those of the previous dynasties. When it came to relationships between men and women, if there was discord between the couple, it was acceptable and they could remarry in the future without affecting each other. Many women who divorced had established themselves on their own.
Song still didn't want to say more, and Jiang Yunzheng had no intention of forcing her, so she just lightly put her arm around her mother-in-law's shoulders.
"Mom, you are the closest person to me in this world. Wherever you go, I will go with you."
What's more, she had promised the original owner that she would protect the Song family no matter what.
Hearing this, Song's tears started to flow, "Are you serious?"
If she leaves the Shi Mansion, she will no longer be an official's wife, but a commoner in the capital.
"The future is uncertain, whether it will be good or bad, and our lives may not be easy. Yun Zheng, are you willing too?"
Jiang Yunzheng smiled and nodded.
