Mrs. Ye's request, Liu Xiaosi's news

By the afternoon, the endless stream of people coming to give gifts and visit finally began to decrease. However, this had nothing to do with Su Zhi. She was pregnant and was frightened by thieves yesterday, so she had good reasons not to entertain guests. Xiao Ri, as the eldest prince, was not someone who could be seen by anyone. So he and Xing'er and Yueyue accompanied Su Zhi to rest in their yard, playing and sleeping, and they were very happy.

When Mrs. Ye came to see Su Zhi, she was sitting with her three children playing cards, and there was a lot of copper money in front of each of them.

"Look at you all, big and small, you are so relaxed. Let me see who has won more and who has won less."

Mrs. Ye went over. This kind of cards has just become popular in the capital in the past six months. It spread from Liang Fu's shop. It was first popular among the upper class, and later even ordinary people liked to play. Even the casino added gambling methods. This card was invented by Su Zhi. When she first knew about it, she really admired her and thought Su Zhi was really smart. Later, she knew that the kang and dumplings were all Su Zhi's ideas. She just felt that Su Zhi was too wronged to be a peasant woman. But Su Zhi was very happy to be a peasant woman, so she had nothing to say.

Xing'er said, "Mom, Mom won the most. She almost took all my money."

Yueyue pouted and said, "Yes, Yueyue's money is going to be gone."

Mrs. Ye scratched Yueyue's little nose and said, "It's okay if you don't have it anymore. Your mother will give you what she wins in the end."

Xiao Ri frowned slightly and said, "It doesn't matter if the money is gone. What's important is that there will be punishment in the end."

"There is a punishment? You cutie, you've already lost all your money, do you still want to be punished? What is the punishment?"

Madam Ye asked in surprise. Although she did not salute Xiao Ri at his insistence because he was the eldest prince, and still treated him as her nephew, she was obviously more cautious in her attitude towards him. She admired Su Zhi very much. This sister-in-law did not seem to change at all because of her adopted son's noble status. There was a punishment for playing cards. I don't know what the punishment is?

Xing'er said, "When we get to the end of the game, whoever has the least copper coins will have to squeal like a pig facing mom's belly. Mom said that my brother can hear us talking, so he will know which of us is the one who squealed like a pig. It would be so embarrassing if he calls us Brother Pig when he grows up."

"I don't want to be a pig sister!"

"Oh my! This is so interesting!"

Mrs. Ye couldn't help laughing when she heard this. She covered her mouth with her handkerchief and laughed. She thought this sister-in-law was really interesting. No wonder she raised these three children so well. She was really a wonderful person.

Su Zhi smiled and asked, "Sister-in-law, is it quiet out front?"

Mrs. Ye said, "The women just left. I just breathed a sigh of relief."

Su Zhi said apologetically, "I am really sorry to bother you, sister-in-law. I didn't expect there would be so many guests. If I had known this would happen, I would have closed the door and refused to see them. Or I could have asked the emperor for an imperial decree."

"What's the point of bothering? This is a good thing. The eldest prince has returned. How can this great event not be celebrated with great fanfare? We are so happy."

Madam Ye smiled and said that she was telling the truth. She was very happy that the eldest prince had returned, and it was Xiaori. Xing'er was the son of the prime minister. This child loved to study very much, and it was very likely that he would become an official like his father in the future. If the throne fell into the hands of someone like the second prince, it would not only be unfortunate for the country, but also for their family in the future. Xing'er, as the child most likely to become a companion, would be the first to suffer. But now that the eldest prince had returned, it was Xiaori, who had grown up with Xing'er and was like a brother to her, so there was a guarantee for the future.

Madam Ye wished that everyone knew that the eldest prince was back, and that his reputation would be as high as possible, so that he could become the emperor in the future. Therefore, she was willing to be a little tired.

Su Zhi looked at Madam Ye and saw that her face was rosy and she did not look extremely tired. She felt more at ease. She really did not want to tire others out because of herself.

"Sister-in-law, what are you looking at me for?"

Mrs. Ye's heartbeat quickened when she was looked at by Su Zhi's eyes, because Su Zhi's eyes looked a lot like hers, even more beautiful than hers. She looked ordinary, so she always paid attention to her own eyes. Now, being looked at by Su Zhi's eyes that were so similar to her own, it felt really strange.

Madam Ye thought that if she had a younger sister, she would definitely look like this. She heard that the deceased daughter of her aunt in the Marquis of Loyalty had eyes like theirs. If she were alive, would she be as smart, pretty and gentle as this younger sister-in-law?

Su Zhi said, "I think my sister-in-law looks much better. I feel more at ease that she is not tired because of so many visitors. Otherwise, it would be my fault."

"I am in such good health now, all thanks to your miraculous medicine. As long as my body remains in such good health, I don't mind being a little tired every day."

When Madam Ye heard Su Zhi talking about her health, she immediately spoke, and then suddenly seemed to remember something and said to Su Zhi: "Speaking of your medicine, many of the people who came today knew that you were the famous doctor who cured the second prince, and they all wanted to ask you for medicine. But they all refused on the grounds that you were not in good health."

Su Zhi smiled and said, "I'm not a famous doctor. I can only make some medicine. If you are really sick, you still have to consult a real famous doctor."

"A famous doctor cannot cure people if he doesn't have good medicine. My sister-in-law is a famous doctor if she can make medicine." Mrs. Ye said. Seeing that Su Zhi seemed to have played a good card and was smiling happily, she told her what she had just thought of. "Sister-in-law, I want to ask you a favor."

When Su Zhi heard this, she turned her attention away from the cards, looked at Madam Ye seriously, and said, "Sister-in-law, what's the matter? If it's within my ability, I will do my best."

Xiao Ri and the other two also stopped what they were doing and looked at Mrs. Ye.

Madam Ye said, "That's right. Didn't I tell you before that the wife of the Marquis of Loyalty is my distant aunt? She cried so hard because her daughter passed away that her eyes got damaged. I would like to ask my sister-in-law to go and see my aunt. If she can be cured, it will be a filial piety from a niece like me. I have never seen my aunt since I was a child. I only met my aunt after my husband returned to Beijing. My aunt is such a pitiful person. As her niece, I hope to make her life better."

Mrs. Ye thought of her aunt's eyes that looked like her own, and she felt sad. When she lost Xing'er, she also cried every day. She knew all her aunt's pain. She had been bedridden for years because of her own pain and had not been filial to her aunt. Now that she had found her son, it was time for her to care for her aunt.

"So that's what's going on. I can go and have a look, but I won't know whether it can be cured until after I've seen the doctor."

When Su Zhi heard what was going on, she agreed. She felt very sorry for the lady. Moreover, she was in danger this time, and the Marquis of Loyalty had spent a lot of manpower to rescue her, even disrupting the Chrysanthemum Garden Lantern Festival. She also wanted to thank them, and she would consider it a favor to show the wife of the Marquis of Loyalty a look.

Upon hearing this, Madam Ye said happily, "Thank you very much, sister-in-law. You should have a good rest. We will go to the Marquis' Mansion tomorrow!"

Su Zhi nodded, then suddenly played a card and said, "I played this card, but none of you want it. So I'll continue. OK, I've played all my cards. I won again. Hurry up and hand over the copper plate!"

"Mom, you are lying! I was just listening to what you were saying! I didn't say no!"

"Mother is always like this, my brother will be very cunning!"

"A little cunning but still a very cute brother."

The three children spoke one sentence each, but they all obediently took out another copper coin from in front of them and put it in Su Zhi's outstretched hand.

Su Zhi smiled and put the copper on the pile of copper in front of her, saying, "Let's stop here today. Whoever has the least copper left, quickly imitate the piggy's squeal!"

"Mom! I still have some coppers, let's continue playing!"

Yueyue pouted and said that she was the one with the least money and she didn't want to imitate the squeal of a pig because it was too embarrassing.

Su Zhi said, "But mom is tired. She heard the little brother in her belly saying he wants to sleep, and she can only fall asleep if she listens to the piglet's cries."

When Yueyue heard this, she could only lie down in front of Suzhi's belly, groaned a few times, then touched Suzhi's belly and said, "Brother, when you come out, you will find that I don't look like a pig at all. I am your most beautiful sister Yueyue."

Mrs. Ye watched Su Zhi playing with the other kids and how they played together. She was extremely envious and thought that she might never be able to learn to be as good as Su Zhi. Seeing her son's happy face, she thought that he was lucky to have such a stepmother.

After Su Zhi finished playing, she let the three kids out. She played for a purpose, because it was time for the three kids to learn Chinese characters in the afternoon and they could not play anymore.

In the evening, Su Zhi told Shen Zi'an that they would go to the Mansion of the Marquis of Loyalty to see a doctor the next day. Shen Zi'an nodded. The Mansion of the Marquis of Loyalty had made great efforts to help find a daughter-in-law this time. Even if the daughter-in-law refused to see his wife, they should go to thank them.

The couple discussed what thank-you gifts to bring the next day, and then went to bed. This day was not as relaxing as the previous one, and they were tired.

The next morning, Shen Zian and Su Zhi packed up and were about to go out with Madam Ye when someone came to visit again. They had already prepared not to see any visitors today, but this visitor was not allowed to be seen.

The person who came was Liu Xiaosi, who said he had something important to tell Shen Zian and the others.

Shen Zian let him in.

Liu Xiaosi was relieved to see Su Zhi sitting in front of him. He bowed and said, "I heard about Madam's danger yesterday. I wanted to come and visit her, but yesterday was a good day for Mr. Shen and Madam, so I didn't come to spoil their fun. I came early today, thinking that I should tell Madam the news, otherwise I would feel uneasy."

I will update once today and will update again tomorrow. I went to the hospital during the day to accompany someone else. I came back exhausted, but my heat stroke got worse and my nose is in serious condition.
