Tang Chen urged impatiently: "Alright, if you have something to say, just say it."
The Qilin Guard hesitated for a while, and after organizing his words, he said, "The news from Jiangdu is about Su Zhirou."
After he said that, Tang Chen remembered that he had not contacted Su Zhirou for a long time. She probably didn't even know that he had given birth. The last time he heard from her was from Lian Xin. It seemed that Su Zhirou had returned to Jiangdu to seek refuge.
"Let me see..."
Tang Chen couldn't quite make sense of this news. It went on and on, seemingly saying that Su Zhirou had never returned to Jiangdu, remaining in Qinghe County. It also seemed like she had some unclear connection to Lin Feng. If she were to be on Xiahou Qing's side, she'd actually saved Lian Xin several times before. Afterward, Lian Xin had successfully reunited with the Qinghe gang, and had confirmed she wasn't being followed. She was now safely with the Cao Gang.
This seems like an innocent woman who has no choice but to surrender to the enemy in order to survive, but still secretly helps her motherland: "She, I can hardly understand what these people are doing. Is this Infernal Affairs? Don't get yourself confused by the circles of confusion."
The Qilin Guards didn't care about these things; they just followed orders. Aside from Wang Nianqing, everyone else in the Qilin Guards just had to do their job. They didn't need to think about or ask anything else. "So, how do we handle this?"
After Tang Chen folded the letter Shu Yang had brought earlier, he skipped over Su Zhirou's matter and instructed, "Send it back unopened. Just pretend that the communication has been severed and never reached us."
"yes."
...When Liang Shuyi came back with the medicine, Chen Xin and Xiao Shuang'er had already woken up. The father and daughter were babbling something, and it looked very interesting.
Chen Xin knew it was his wife who came back from the sound of footsteps, and asked without turning his head: "Why did you come back now? Did you go to chat with Tang Chen?"
Liang Shuyi rolled his eyes involuntarily, patted his face lightly, and said: "I went to boil medicine for you, and took a walk by the way. I'm not saying anything bad about you, but can you please not change your daughter's clothes so casually? Your taste is really..."
Chen Xin didn't know what he was thinking. Not only did he change his daughter into little boy's clothes that he found from somewhere, but he also added a huge peony flower on her little head. How to put it, it looked very ugly and weird.
However, Chen Xin seemed very satisfied with her work: "I think it's pretty good, right, Shuang'er?"
After Liang Shuyi handed the medicine bowl to Shen Xin, he said, “Okay, okay, as long as you are happy, drink the medicine first. I have to change her diaper.”
When Chen Xin heard that they were going to change diapers, she quickly gulped down the large bowl of black, bitter medicine that made her sick. "I'll do this kind of thing. I finally got back to be lazy for a few days, so let me take care of you. Speaking of which, I haven't even washed Shuang'er's diapers yet. I'm such an incompetent!"
Liang Shuyi couldn't help but laughed. Although she laughed, since Chen Xin took the initiative to make this request, she would rather satisfy the old father's mood.
When Shen Xin took the clean diaper from Liang Shuyi, she accidentally glanced at the scratches on her arm. As soon as she dropped the diaper, her expression changed faster than turning a page: "...What's wrong with your hand? It looks like someone pinched you. Who hit you?"
Liang Shuyi quickly put down his sleeves and said, "It's okay, it's just an accident!"
“…”
That night, upon learning that her beloved was no longer alive, Princess Fenglai refused to eat a single bite of her dinner. Seeing that she wouldn't eat or drink, Xixin and Yingchun couldn't help but coax her into drinking half a bowl of bird's nest porridge. They were just thinking of telling her something fun to distract her, but it seemed as if the heavens had heard their prayers, leaving Fenglai no time to dwell on the matter.
When Liang Shuyi got up early to boil medicine for Chen Xin, she saw a steaming stove in the kitchen and asked curiously, "What's wrong? Is someone sick?"
The kitchen staff said, "The princess seems to have an upset stomach. She was fussing last night. Second Madam, isn't that strange? The princess only drank half a bowl of porridge yesterday. We just had the doctor check the porridge, and it's fine. But Miss Yingchun has been fussing several times since early this morning. Sigh."
Liang Shuyi also understood the kitchen's difficulties. The food in other courtyards was simple, but Princess Fenglai's was the only one where they were given all the best food. She must have gotten sick from eating something, and her two maids were quite noisy. "Maybe she's not used to the local climate. You should be more careful. She's a princess after all, and her health might be weaker than others. Take good care of her, and she'll be well soon."
"yes."
While Liang Shuyi was decocting the medicine, he quietly went to Princess Fenglai's residence to check for a while. He had noticed something was amiss with Chen Xin yesterday, and after seeing this, Liang Shuyi was about 90% sure that this matter was related to Chen Xin.
After decocting the medicine and returning home, Liang Shuyi also said: "...She didn't mean it. Stop making a fuss. I'm no longer angry."
Chen Xin opened her eyes wide, and asked in confusion: "Huh? What is Madam talking about? Why don't I understand?"
Liang Shuyi tapped the table lightly and said, "I'm talking about the antidote. She looks like she's been poisoned by a cold, not just a simple stomach upset."
After Shen Xin finished drinking the medicine, he ate the candied fruit while tilting his head and said, "I can't bear to hit my wife myself, but she dared to touch you as soon as she came."
Liang Shuyi patted his forehead helplessly. It was fine for her, but Chen Xin was one of the leaders of Qingliang Valley after all. Why was she arguing with a girl like a child? "She is a princess after all, and it all started because of me."
There was nothing Chen Xin didn't know about Liang Shuyi's affairs. He didn't deliberately want to inquire about her affairs, but protecting her had become his habit and he couldn't change it: "You, let you play."
After that, Chen Xin pulled out a small bottle from her sleeve and placed it on the table, then stood up to continue entertaining her daughter. Liang Shuyi looked at Chen Xin's aggrieved figure with a bit of a smile and said to her personal maid, "Put this quietly in the princess's medicine, don't let anyone find out."
"yes."
Princess Fenglai recovered immediately after drinking some medicine prescribed by the doctor to treat the unfamiliar climate. She had no idea that she was being plotted against.
Of course, if there was a first time, there would be a second and third time. Chen Xin hadn't done it on purpose. When he regained consciousness, he realized that he had added something he shouldn't have to Princess Fenglai's food...
