“……!”
The moment the two men fell to the ground, the housekeeper was completely stunned. It took Mrs. Liang a while to realize the intentions of the two old children. She said, "...You are really confused. Why don't you go find a doctor quickly!"
After the housekeeper understood what they meant, he said, "I understand. Please invite the eunuch in immediately and then go find the doctor!"
After the eunuch followed the housekeeper into the inner room, he looked at Duke Liang and Marquis Wen lying on the bed, one on each side, and said with a frown, "This is really unfortunate. How come these two old gentlemen are..."
Mrs. Liang saw the hidden meaning in the eunuch's words, which seemed to indicate that they were deliberately deceiving him, so she did not say anything more. After the housekeeper hurried in with the doctor, she did not let the eunuch leave, but let him watch how the doctor from outside the mansion treated the two elderly people.
After the doctor carefully bandaged their heads, wrote out some medicine and gave some instructions, Mrs. Liang said, "Alas, these two have been fighting since they were young. They are both half buried in the ground. They didn't even know how hard they hit them. Alas."
As a eunuch, every eunuch was observant and alert. He had heard a lot about the love-hate relationship between Duke Liang and Marquis Wen. He had previously thought that their bickering was just a way to create the illusion that their relationship was bad. At the moment, the relationship between the Duke's Mansion and the Marquis' Mansion couldn't be any worse. But this time, the blow was really heavy-handed.
The eunuch glanced around the room, seeing only the Duke's wife and her maidservants serving him. Then he remembered hearing the adults mention that the eldest daughter of the mansion seemed to be pregnant again. As for the son-in-law, he didn't seem to be around much. But the only person who could make the decision right now was Madam Liang. "In that case, I'm afraid he can't enter the palace. Then, Madam..."
Without waiting for the guards to suggest that Madam Liang should accompany the two men to the palace to report, Liang Shuyi, who had been told by Madam Liang to return to her room to rest, came in aggressively with a group of guards, supported by her maid. He said bluntly and without reservation: "Anyone who dares to touch my father and Marquis Wen at this time will be beaten to death with sticks behind closed doors."
The eunuch's heart skipped a beat. Everyone knew that besides the capital, the only one who could have a say was the Duke of Liang's Mansion, which had previously been aloof and unassuming. Seeing the young lady's aura, he could only swallow the proposal he hadn't even spoken out. The eunuch bowed and said with an apologetic smile, "Young lady, what you said..."
Before the eunuch could finish his words, Liang Shuyi interrupted him, saying, "Alas, I made a slip of the tongue. Please forgive me, Master Eunuch. I was just making an analogy. Please don't take it too seriously."
Mrs. Liang also said apologetically, "Excuse me, sir. My daughter has been spoiled by me since she was little. She likes to hang out outside, doesn't know the rules, and speaks without restraint. If I have offended you in any way, please forgive me."
He was just a lowly eunuch here to deliver a message. If he showed off his authority in front of these people, he would probably die here today. Thinking of this, the eunuch bowed and said, "Madam, your words are too much for me. Since both of you are ill, I will return today to report. I hope you two old gentlemen will rest well."
The lady nodded slightly and said, "Thank you for your consideration. Butler, please send the eunuch off."
When the eunuch left, Madam Liang gave the butler a wink. After the old butler understood what Madam Liang meant, he caught up with the eunuch and accompanied him to the door.
Looking at the bulging red envelope in his hand, the eunuch couldn't help but sigh: "...They can still come up with such a red envelope now. The Duke of Liang's Mansion is indeed not something that ordinary people can afford to offend. Alas, this job is getting more and more difficult every day. People like us should also plan for ourselves."
After sending the eunuchs away, Madam Liang sat down beside the bed, gently patted the shoulders of Duke Liang and Marquis Wen, and said, "Alright, everyone's gone. Hurry up and get up. It's time for dinner soon."
"......" Duke Liang was lying on the bed without any reaction.
"……", Wen Hou was lying on the bed with no reaction.
Seeing that neither of them responded, Madam Liang thought to herself that something was wrong and quickly called out, "...Ah Xin, come and see if they are really unconscious!"
After hearing Madam Liang's call, Chen Xin hurried in, checked the bandages and ointments on the two people's heads, and then showed them to them, and replied helplessly: "...Really, it is."
Madam Liang was startled and asked hurriedly, "Housekeeper, wasn't that the person you asked to help you act?"
The housekeeper was also a little amused and replied: "I was just about to tell my wife that this is really a serious doctor I invited from outside, and he is definitely here to see a doctor."
Mrs. Liang thought they were just pretending, but these two actually knocked each other unconscious. They were both elderly, and they were really ruthless. If one of them accidentally knocked someone to death, who would she cry to? "Really? They're so old, and they still think they're young and can just smash things up at will. I'm so angry!"
Liang Shuyi hurried forward and hugged Madam Liang's shoulders, saying softly, "Don't worry, mother, Chen Xin is here. They haven't had a proper rest for a long time, so this is a blessing in disguise."
The man had already fainted, and she couldn't find anyone to vent her anger on. Therefore, Madam Liang decided to put her anger aside for now and get back at him after they both recovered. "Well, forget it. Butler, go to Marquis Wen's mansion to get some daily clothes and his cold and warm jade chess pieces. A gentle way of communication like chess is more suitable for them both."
"yes."
Since the person was truly unconscious, it would be inconvenient to care for them with two people lying on the same couch, and it would also seem a bit crowded. Madam Liang asked Shen Xin and Liang Shuyi to carefully move Wen Xian back to his own room. After the person was properly settled, Liang Shuyi gave a few more instructions to the people who were serving Wen Xian, and then left with Shen Xin, preparing to go to the kitchen to oversee the decoction of medicine.
On the way to the kitchen, Liang Shuyi's face gradually showed the worry that he had not dared to show until now. "Tell me, what exactly is Xiahou Qing up to? Judging from what the eunuch said just now, it seems that this time he only intends to confine father and Marquis Wen to the palace."
In the past, Liuxiang Tavern and Qingliang Valley could have uncovered a lot of things going on in the Forbidden Palace. But now that the entire Forbidden Palace was under the control of Xiahou Qing, it was quite difficult to find out what was going on inside.
