"Yes, thank you for speaking up for me today, otherwise I would have done something foolish." Aunt Jiang bowed gently to express her gratitude: "Don't worry, ma'am. Although I am gentle on the outside but strong on the inside, I will not do anything stupid. I still have to live well for my brother Chuan."
"I feel relieved when you say that. Invite Hua Dao Po over tomorrow, and we'll light a perpetual lamp for Chuan Ge'er. I'll pay for the oil for you. Please bless this child to be safe and sound. It is said that those who survive a great disaster will have good fortune in the future. He has experienced two life-and-death crises and survived both times. It shows that he will have a great future. You can also look forward to the rest of your life."
Xu Ranyun saw that Aunt Jiang seemed very happy to have listened to her advice. After saying a few more words, she stood up and said, "Okay, I still have to go and pay my respects to the Madam and the Old Madam. You don't have to go today. Chuan'er has had such an incident, and everyone knows that you have to take care of him. The Old Madam will not blame you for being rude."
Aunt Jiang nodded in agreement and personally escorted her out. Here Xu Ranyun returned to her room and watched Fengxian open the jewelry box to choose jewelry for her. A slight smile appeared on the corner of her mouth and she murmured, "Today is the twenty-fifth, and everyone has to go to pay their respects to the old lady. Haha, it will probably be lively this time."
"Are you so sure, grandma? Will Aunt Jiang make a scene? It seems to me that she has been persuaded by grandma." Fengxian inserted a flower-shaped pearl hairpin into Xu Ranyun's bun and asked softly.
"You don't understand her personality. She may look soft, but don't push her to the point where she has no way out, otherwise she will do anything. Chuan'er is her lifeblood, and now that she has been through this, she has been pushed to the point where she has no way out. Don't say that the double act you and I played together has shown her the way forward. Even if I really tried to persuade her, she wouldn't be convinced."
Xu Ranyun said this. He shook his head and said regretfully: "It's a pity that Chuan Ge'er was lucky enough to survive. If he died, there would be no need to go through so much trouble. Aunt Jiang could just go find Grandma with a knife and fight her to death. Wouldn't it be more fun then? Speaking of which, did you do what I said? I think he is a four-year-old child, he shouldn't have escaped this disaster."
Feng Xian said quickly, "Why didn't you put enough? If you put more, you might leave clues. Even so, I was afraid that the bowl would not be cleaned up and someone would catch me, so I rushed to deal with it when I found a chance. In the end, Master Chuan was lucky. Who would have thought that Doctor Liao was actually at our house? And he came so quickly? And Master and Doctor Fang also came so quickly. I was so scared that I broke out in a cold sweat. If they noticed anything, Grandma would be in danger."
Xu Ranyun nodded and said in a deep voice, "You are right. There is always a loophole. Although I made a quick decision at that time, I also considered all aspects, but I didn't consider this point. Fortunately, Doctor Liao's medical skills are not the best after all. I think Doctor Fang who came later seemed to have noticed something. It's just that after the grandmother's torment, and Brother Chuan's pulse was weak, he didn't dare to make a correct diagnosis, so he didn't say it."
Hearing her say this, Feng Xian suddenly seemed to remember something and said in a low voice: "Grandma, could it be that Grandma's vomiting-inducing method really worked? That's why Young Master Chuan escaped this disaster, otherwise the amount... I... ah!"
Xu Ranyun nodded after pondering for a moment, "What you said is exactly what I was wondering about. I've never heard of this method of saving people before, so how could it be useful? Could it be that the ginger syrup in my stomach was brought out by her method?"
"I think so..." Feng Xian didn't wait for him to finish, and suddenly touched her chest, saying in fear: "Fortunately, everyone's attention was on Master Chuan at the time, otherwise, if we just took the vomited stuff for testing, wouldn't it be... Thank God, no one thought of it, and asked the maids to clean it up at the time."
Xu Ranyun stood up and sneered, "Forget it, it's useless to say these things now. No matter what, we didn't leave any handles, and no one can say anything. Let's go to the old lady. I don't want to miss any of this good show today."
After the master and servant had packed up, they went out to the north courtyard. Looking at the remaining snow that had not melted completely along the way, Xu Ranyun smiled and said, "This is all because of Chuan Ge'er's incident. In the past, when it snowed, there would definitely be many strange snowmen everywhere in the mansion. This time it snowed heavily, and I didn't expect there would be no snowmen at all."
Feng Xian smiled and said, "Isn't it? In the past, the masters were kind and friendly, so even if they were a little naughty, it didn't matter. Maybe some snowman would catch the eye of the prince or the second master, and they could even get some money as a reward. Now, because of Master Chuan's matter, the masters are worried. Who dares to be blind at this time?"
Before she finished speaking, she saw the wife who was in charge of Duan Tingxuan's private storehouse coming from the opposite side. Seeing them, she hurriedly saluted. Xu Ranyun snorted coldly and turned her head away: her husband's private storehouse was originally managed by her, but Su Nuannuan "took it away". A few days after returning from Pushan Temple, even the original manager of the private storehouse was replaced by this Yue family wife, so how could she be angry?
Feng Xian asked, "Where are you from, Sister Yue? Have you been to the old lady's courtyard as well?"
The daughter-in-law of the Yue family smiled and said, "Yes, I went to ask the grandmother for permission. When I arrived at Chunfeng Garden, she said that the grandmother had come to the north courtyard early in the morning, so I came here."
Fengxian smiled and said, "What's the hurry? You're still chasing after Grandma. This isn't New Year's shopping. There shouldn't be much money coming in or out of your private vault, right?"
The wife of the Yue family smiled and said, "Grandma is kind. Because some refugees came to the capital earlier, she wants to take out some money from her private treasury to make some clothes and bedding for those refugees..." Before she could finish, she saw Xu Ranyun suddenly turned around and said sternly, "There are porridge stalls in the mansion, and hundreds of kilograms of food are distributed every day. The porridge stalls on the edge of the south city are lined up a mile or two away. She still wants to take money from the private treasury? What's she thinking?"
The wife of the Yue family said calmly, "How can I ask what grandma thinks? But I heard that grandma said that the refugees have no shortage of food now, but they have suddenly gathered in the capital, where can they find a place to stay? They can only stay in dilapidated temples or dilapidated courtyards, so they will be cold. That's why we made this decision. We collected a batch of old clothes in the mansion a few days ago, but they were not enough, so we discussed with Master to use the private storehouse. I don't know the details."
The Yue family's wife's words partially explained the reason. How could someone like Xu Ranyun be so thoughtful for the refugees? She thought it was good enough to give them a bite to eat, so she nodded. Secondly, she was telling the other party: I have agreed to this matter, so don't have any bad ideas and try to sow discord with this matter.
