Chapter 30 Strong Hint
"Hasn't Jingzhao Prefecture been very busy recently? How did Wei Lang find time to come to me?"
The wedding date is approaching, and Xiao Qinghe is concentrating on preparing for the wedding at home. She is surprised to hear Wei Lingze coming to her house.
Wei Lingze handed a box of cakes to Xiao Qinghe and said, "Lord Shen had an accident while investigating a case. Now the prefect has asked me to investigate the case thoroughly. I will be very busy for the next period of time, so I came to see you in advance."
Xiao Qinghe curved her eyes and smiled faintly: "Wei Lang is very busy with official duties, I can understand."
She has always been sensible and will not indulge in love or indulge in romance.
Besides, they will be getting married and living together soon, so it doesn’t matter if they can’t see each other during this period.
Wei Lingze couldn't tell anything unusual from Xiao Qinghe's expression, and he didn't dare ask about Chunxi's whereabouts. After a moment of silence, he asked, "Just now, when I passed by the front yard, I heard the old lady get angry. She seemed to take Lord Shen very seriously."
Xiao Qinghe nodded: "Grandfather loved my great aunt very much, but unfortunately my great aunt died early, so Grandfather transferred all his love to Uncle Shen. Grandmother should love him as much as she loves him."
Shen Qingyuan was about ten years older than Xiao Qinghe, so it was natural for her to call him uncle. Wei Lingze frowned when he thought of how close Shen Qingyuan had been to Chunxi before.
In front of Chunxi, this man didn't act like an elder at all.
After chatting for a few more minutes, Wei Lingze left.
As soon as he left, Xiao Qingyue came over excitedly to announce the good news: "Sister, good news, that girl called Chunxi has married a wealthy businessman and moved to Qingzhou. She won't be a bother to you anymore."
Xiao Qinghe frowned, but before she could scold him, Xiao Qingyue spoke first, "Sister only forbade me to send someone to monitor my brother-in-law, but she didn't forbid me from monitoring others."
The last time Chunxi came to visit, not only did he not suffer any hardship, but he also caused Mo Yun to be punished. Xiao Qingyue originally wanted to find an opportunity to get rid of Chunxi, but she didn't expect Chunxi to go to Qingzhou with the rich businessman so soon.
She escaped quickly.
Thinking of Chunxi's appearance last time, Xiao Qingyue couldn't help but say: "She is plain-looking and behaves so rudely. She can't even compare to my sister's hair. I'm sure my brother-in-law will forget her soon. My sister doesn't have to mind."
Xiao Qinghe narrowed his eyes and rubbed Xiao Qingyue's head: "I don't mind. You should stop thinking about these things. It would be bad if others knew about it."
It is really unruly for an unmarried sister-in-law to interfere in her brother-in-law's bedroom affairs.
Xiao Qingyue hugged Xiao Qinghe's arm, rubbed her and acted coquettishly: "It's best if others know it. I have a bad temper. If anyone dares to let my sister suffer injustice, I will definitely get it back for my sister!"
As soon as Wei Lingze left the Xiao family, Mo returned to the Qingyuan Marquis Mansion.
She had been the mistress of the Marquis' Mansion for many years. Suddenly, she was slapped by Old Madam Xiao. She was so angry that as soon as she got home, she had a white banner hung in the mansion and started to arrange for Shen Qingyuan's funeral.
No matter how powerful this old guy is, can he really reach out to the Marquis' Mansion?
The news that the Qingyuan Marquis's residence had secretly set up a mourning hall soon reached Old Madam Xiao. She was so angry that she smashed the teapot beside her: "I knew she had bad intentions. Yuan'er's body hasn't been found yet. She's hoping Yuan'er will die so that there will be a place for her son!"
"Old Madam, please calm down. Lord Shen has been handling cases in Jingzhao Prefecture for many years and has dealt with countless vicious criminals. He will be fine."
The nanny next to her immediately patted Madam Xiao's back and tried to persuade her, but Madam Xiao still had a breath stuck in her chest.
I heard that the clothes found by the government were covered in blood, and there was a long cut on the waist and abdomen. Even if the person was not dead, he was probably seriously injured. How could he not be treated quickly?
Old Madam Xiao was feeling very depressed and was about to lie down after being advised by the nanny when a servant suddenly came in with something.
Madam Xiao was shocked and said hurriedly, "Please invite the person in!"
——
Although the wound medicine on Shen Qingyuan's body was prepared by the Imperial Hospital, it is not a panacea.
After Chunxi got the news, she returned to the inn and found that he had a high fever and was in a coma. She went to the pharmacy to buy some antipyretic and anti-inflammatory medicine. After finally boiling it, Shen Qingyuan had his lips tightly closed and could not be fed at all.
"Sir Shen, I'm sorry."
Chunxi was about to use brute force to pry open Shen Qingyuan's mouth when Shen Qingyuan suddenly opened his eyes.
Shen Qingyuan had a fever, and his eyes were a little red and watery. He lost his usual cold and majestic look and looked a little weak.
"Sir, hold on, you have a fever. The medicine is ready. Drink it and then go to sleep."
Chunxi helped Shen Qingyuan up with one hand, let him lean on her, and with the other hand she held the medicine and fed it to Shen Qingyuan's mouth.
She performed this set of movements smoothly, and before Shen Qingyuan was fully awake, he had already swallowed a bowl of medicine.
The smell of medicine spread in his mouth. Shen Qingyuan coughed lightly twice. Chunxi quickly put down the bowl and patted his back: "This medicine is quite expensive. You will feel better soon after drinking it."
After saying that, she stuffed another candied fruit into his mouth.
Chunxi moved quickly, but Shen Qingyuan still clearly felt his lips being pressed.
Perhaps because of the fever, he felt the little girl's fingertips were a little cold, like cold jade.
The sweetness overwhelms the medicinal taste and blooms on the tip of the tongue.
Shen Qingyuan couldn't help but ask, "Did you feed Wei Lingze the medicine in the same way?"
"That's about right. He couldn't move at that time, and he wouldn't let anyone get close to him, so I had to support him myself," Chunxi nodded, and after a moment's thought, he added, "But he doesn't like candied fruit, so every time I boiled some medicine, I would go to the kitchen and ask for some for myself."
Chunxi didn’t know whether Wei Lingze was really not afraid of hardship or was just pretending, but she was quite afraid of hardship.
Lord Shen was a good man. She was afraid that he was also afraid of suffering, but she couldn't bring herself to say it, so she just fed him a candied fruit.
"Thanks."
Shen Qingyuan savored the taste in his mouth.
This was the first time in his life that someone had fed him candied fruit.
Shen Qingyuan's face was still very pale. Chunxi didn't dare to tell him that the Marquis' Mansion was secretly arranging his funeral. She only said, "The county magistrate has sent people to look for you and hunt down the murderer. We should be safe now. My Lord, please get some more sleep to recuperate. I'll be here to watch over you. I'll call you if anything happens."
Chunxi said and sat down on the ground.
She didn't speak, nor did she read to kill time, she just sat there quietly.
Just like the past three years, those more than a thousand days and nights, I have been guarding quietly, neither arrogant nor impatient.
Having just woken up, Shen Qingyuan was not sleepy at the moment. He stared at Chunxi's profile for a while before speaking: "Although you escaped this time, Wei Lingze will not give up easily. He has many ways to prevent you from getting married."
Therefore, she had to find a husband who was willing to marry her and had the ability to fight against Wei Lingze.
Shen Qingyuan's eyes were filled with obvious encouragement, just like the last time he hinted to Chunxi to ask him for help.
Hope rose in Chunxi's heart. She met Shen Qingyuan's gaze and asked expectantly, "Sir, is Brother Qingshu married?"
Shen Qingyuan: "..."
