Seeing that Bai Mengyun's expression was not good, the little dumpling quickly took the ginseng soup prepared by the servant.
"Big brother, tell your sister-in-law not to get agitated, and to have some soup first."
Mu Jinchen took the ginseng soup and shoved Madam Bai away unhappily.
He sat on the edge of the bed, held Bai Mengyun in his arms, and fed her ginseng soup spoonful by spoonful.
When Bai Mengyun saw that Mu Jinchen was still wearing his military uniform, she knew that he must have abandoned his military duties and rushed back without even having time to change his clothes.
I suddenly felt a little touched.
"Drink slowly, don't choke," Mu Jinchen said to Bai Mengyun in a rare gentle tone.
The long-awaited care made Bai Mengyun's throat ache, and tears immediately welled up in her eyes.
The little dumpling lay by the bed, pointing at Bai Mengyun's red eyes and said:
"The older brother fed her the medicine by hand, and the older sister-in-law's eyes turned red with shyness."
Bai Mengyun glanced at her and said somewhat embarrassedly:
"Little girl, don't talk nonsense!"
Who gets shy and has red eyes?
She should be blushing!
The little dumpling continued, "Sister-in-law, you just fainted, you didn't even see me."
"Big brother taught the liar a good lesson for you. Big brother feels so sorry for you."
Mu Jinchen's wheat-colored face flushed slightly, and he kicked the little dumpling's bottom lightly.
Mu Jinchen: "Little girl, don't talk nonsense!"
"Big brother is blushing, big brother is shy." The little dumpling shrank his neck, covered his mouth and giggled.
Bai Mengyun chuckled softly.
This was the first time she had felt warmth in her heart after such a long period of estrangement between her and her husband.
I don't know if it's because I got sick, but my mindset has changed.
For the first time, she didn't find the little guy in front of her so annoying anymore.
Bai Mengyun drank three bowls of ginseng soup before she felt her energy had been greatly restored.
So she asked Mu Jinchen what had happened while she was unconscious.
Mu Jinchen recounted the whole story to her.
Bai Mengyun was filled with anxiety, never expecting that so many things had happened while she was unconscious.
To her surprise, it was the little dumpling who woke her up and discovered that she had been poisoned.
"Thank you, I didn't expect that you would be the one to save me in the end."
Bai Mengyun smiled gently at the little dumpling.
The little dumpling tugged at its ears and rubbed its eyes.
Did she hear that right?
Her sister-in-law actually thanked her!
She didn't see wrong, did she?
Even her usually fierce sister-in-law smiled at her!
The little dumpling reached out and touched her sister-in-law's forehead, then touched her own forehead.
Hmm! No fever!
This proves she wasn't talking nonsense.
Madam Bai stood to the side with a cold face, feeling extremely resentful.
If I hadn't brought along this fake miracle doctor, would this girl have had a chance to steal the spotlight?
The old Marquis was very happy to see that the relationship between the little dumpling and Bai Mengyun had thawed.
After all, harmony in the family brings prosperity, and no one wants their family members to become like enemies.
The old marquis stepped forward, picked up the little dumpling, and gently pinched the tip of her nose, saying:
“Your sister-in-law just woke up, so let her rest well. Grandfather will take you to have lunch.”
"Granddaughter-in-law, you should take good care of yourself. I'll have someone bring you lunch."
Bai Mengyun nodded and thanked him politely.
After the old Marquis left with the little dumpling, Bai Mengyun asked Mu Jinchen to take the two children to lunch.
She kept Madam Bai behind alone.
Until only she and Mrs. Bai were left in the room.
Bai Mengyun finally asked, "Mother, is my poisoning related to the medicine you gave me?"
Madam Bai was taken aback, and said somewhat guiltily:
"No way! The medicine I gave you is all good stuff. It shouldn't be... right?"
Since Princess Yuening went missing, Mu Jinchen has been busy searching for her and Mu Jinnian, as well as dealing with the complicated affairs of the military camp.
The couple's relationship grew increasingly distant.
Until half a year ago, Bai Mengyun was afraid that after her second and third sons got married, her voice in the Mu family would become even weaker.
In order to secure her position in the Mu family, she asked Madam Bai to prescribe a fertility-enhancing medicine.
I hope to get pregnant again this time.
For so long, she has not taken any other medications besides fertility drugs.
Her dizziness had already started before Mu Jintuan returned to the mansion.
After thinking it over, Bai Mengyun concluded that the most likely source of the poison was the fertility drug.
Bai Mengyun didn't believe her mother would harm her, so she asked:
"Who did you get that prescription from? Could it be that the person who wrote the prescription is the problem?"
To everyone's surprise, Madam Bai didn't hesitate at all, shaking her head and saying with absolute certainty:
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible! The person who gave me the prescription could not possibly be a problem."
"I think you're just confused and overthinking things!"
"Maybe someone poisoned your food!"
Madam Bai seemed to trust the person who gave her the medicine, and even blamed Bai Mengyun for asking the question.
Seeing that her mother remained stubbornly unrepentant, Bai Mengyun said somewhat anxiously:
“I ate the same food as the Mu family, and they are all fine. Why am I the only one who got poisoned?”
"Mother, tell me honestly, where did the prescription come from?"
Madam Bai kept rubbing her hands together, looking troubled.
Finally, after Bai Mengyun kept pressing her for answers, she revealed the name...
Bai Mengyun covered her mouth in disbelief.
She never imagined that the prescription was written by that person!
At the Mu family's dining table.
The little dumpling is holding a large hairy crab and is diligently peeling it, displaying all her skills.
Seeing that her small hands were covered in crab oil and that she was peeling them with great effort, the old marquis wanted to have a servant do it for her.
It was the little one's first time eating hairy crabs, and she was very curious about it, pouting and insisting on doing it herself.
The old marquis had no choice but to indulge her and personally demonstrate how to peel a crab.
First, enjoy the fresh, sweet, and plump crab legs, then peel open the shell to eat the golden crab roe.
The little dumpling ate with a smile on its face, its mouth full of crab flavor.
After finishing the hairy crabs, she looked at the table full of exquisite Yangzhou dishes.
Chicken Broth Braised Dried Tofu Strips, Crab Roe Lion's Head Meatballs, Crystal Pig Trotters, Hibiscus Seaweed Pine Nuts...
The little dumpling felt like it couldn't take it all in.
Since returning to the Mu family, her biggest dilemma every day has probably been what to eat!
Because there are too many!
We can't possibly finish it all.
Mu Yanxiu placed a piece of salted chicken on the little dumpling's plate, her bulging little mouth mumbling indistinctly:
"Little Gugu, hurry up and sizzle, these are all really good to sizzle."
The two little ones sat together and, without anyone urging them, began to eat voraciously, as if in a competition.
Finally, the two little ones burped and patted each other's bellies.
Little dumpling: "Hiccup, little niece, your tummy is round and bulging, hiccup, there's a big watermelon inside."
Mu Yanxiu: "Hiccup, Auntie, hiccup, also... hiccup"
Mu Ting was amused by the two of them and ordered a servant to fetch some digestive pills.
The entire Mu family was watching two children play in the front hall.
Suddenly, Granny Chang, who served the Empress, walked in.
Behind Granny Chang were several palace maids and guards. The maids were carrying cloth and jewelry, and the guards were not empty-handed either, with two of them carrying a large box, totaling more than a dozen boxes.
When Granny Chang saw the little dumpling, she beamed with joy and said in a gentle voice:
"Princess, Her Majesty the Empress has instructed me to bring you some things."
"These fabrics are for making new clothes for you, and the jewelry was all personally selected by the Empress."
"And these boxes are full of exotic items that were brought as tribute from abroad."
"Come and take a look quickly."
Upon hearing Granny Chang's words, the little dumpling ran over excitedly.
On the night of returning home from the palace banquet, the emperor's uncle rewarded him with hundreds of thousands of taels of gold and dozens of large boxes of things.
Now, the Empress's aunt has come to bestow gifts again.
The little dumpling counted on her fingers and realized that her room was about to overflow.
She waved her little hands and said, "Too much, too much, even the little dumpling can't use it all."
