Chapter 307 Come Here If You Can
As soon as Shen Qingyuan returned home, Chunxi shared with him the news she had received at the princess's mansion.
Chunxi found it very strange whether it was the Awakening Incense that was suddenly sold out at Ningxiang Pavilion or Lanshu taking Wei Lingze to find Prince Ying.
Shen Qingyuan didn't show any expression after hearing this. He just said seriously, "Didn't I tell Madam to just focus on the pregnancy and not worry about this anymore?"
"I just went to take a look out of curiosity. If I find any clues, maybe I can help my husband."
Chunxi explained, and Shen Qingyuan glanced at her and said solemnly, "In the past few days, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been having the imperial physicians of the Imperial Hospital carefully study the Soul-Stirring Incense. There is a very special spice in this incense. The imperial physicians have searched through all the medical books but can't find any record of it. This spice is very likely from Yuexi. Who knows what kind of conspiracy and danger is hidden behind it. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will send more people to investigate this matter thoroughly. Do you understand what I mean, Madam?"
Being able to say so much, Shen Qingyuan was already making an exception.
Hearing the seriousness of the situation, Chunxi's expression froze, and she nodded quickly: "I understand. From now on, I will stay at home to take good care of the baby and not let my husband worry. My husband must also pay attention to safety when he goes out."
Chunxi did not go out to investigate the matter again. She only sent letters to the Princess's Mansion and the Xiao family, reminding them that there might be something wrong with the Ecstasy Incense and the Awakening Incense.
The day after the letter was sent, An An fell ill.
An An is Shen Qingchi's daughter. Chunxi and Shen Qingyuan have decided to raise her and named her Shen Youan, hoping that her mother in heaven can bless her with safety and health.
An An was previously taken care of by Shen Jinhua and her niece from her husband's family. After the Marquis of Qingyuan was stripped of his title and even his mansion was confiscated, Shen Jinhua wanted to continue to cling to Chunxi and Shen Qingyuan in the name of taking care of An An, but Chunxi did not let her follow them. She also found a wet nurse to take care of An An, and she also helped take care of her together with Nanny Li and Nanny Zhang.
An An was born with a weak constitution, and vomiting and fever were common occurrences for her. But this time, she was particularly ill and had a high fever before dawn. Nanny Li and the wet nurse tried many methods but failed to bring the fever down.
Chunxi decisively asked the servants to go to Huichun Hall to call a doctor.
"We will do our best to take care of Miss An An. Madam was woken up early this morning, so you should go back to sleep. When the doctor from Huichun Hall arrives, Miss An An will be fine."
Nanny Li tried to persuade Chunxi gently, but Chunxi shook her head: "I'm not sleepy. I won't feel at ease until the doctor comes to see me."
An An felt very insecure as her biological mother was gone and her familiar wet nurse was replaced. After spending some time together, she became very dependent on Chunxi and often held Chunxi's hand tightly even when she fell asleep.
Chunxi can already feel the fetal movement in her belly and has developed feelings for An An. If An An is not well, she feels bad and is always worried about her.
Chunxi insisted, and Nanny Li did not try to persuade her anymore and continued to take good care of Anan.
An An was not feeling well and kept crying. Chun Xi was so distressed that he couldn't help but ask someone to call a doctor.
When she sent for the third time, Ah Li hurried in to report, "Madam, the fourth young master of the Taifu Mansion has arrived. He has stopped the doctor from Huichun Hall outside and won't let him in."
An An's voice was hoarse from crying, but Li Jixian actually stopped the doctor from coming in?
Chunxi frowned and walked out while giving cold orders: "Go find Uncle Hu and bring a few skilled guards. First, let the doctor come in to see An An, and then bring a throne."
"yes!"
A Li responded and left.
Uncle Hu moved very quickly. As soon as Chunxi reached the door, Uncle Hu arrived with the security guards.
Outside the mansion, Li Jixian was sitting in a carriage with women on both sides. Jiao Niang and Mei Niang were peeling grapes for him. He also brought a lot of people with him. The doctor from Huichuntang was stopped tightly and had bruises on his face.
This was the scene Chunxi saw when she went out. She didn't waste time talking to Li Jixian and directly signaled Uncle Hu to grab the person.
Although Li Jixian brought a lot of people, they were no match for Uncle Hu. After a scream, the doctor was snatched away by Uncle Hu.
Chunxi felt relieved when the doctor entered the house. At this time, A Li brought in a throne and thoughtfully placed cushions and pillows on it.
Chunxi sat comfortably on the armchair, then raised her eyes to look at Li Jixian.
Li Jixian had originally intended to come and claim the child to show off his power, but before he could even begin, the people he brought were beaten to a pulp. Li Jixian was so embarrassed that he lifted the carriage curtain and angrily said, "Madam Shen not only robbed someone else's child with impunity, but she also allowed her servants to hurt others. I'm afraid there's no more fierce shrew than Madam Shen in all of Hanjing."
Li Jixian's arrival was so ostentatious that he had already attracted a large number of onlookers. When they heard him calling Chunxi a shrew, the onlookers started talking about it.
Chunxi remained calm, unafraid of the noises. She looked at Li Jixian sarcastically, "I was wondering why I heard a dog barking outside so early in the morning. Turns out it was my brother-in-law. I haven't seen you in a while, and you've really become more and more like a beast."
The awakening incense in Ningxiang Pavilion was sold out, and Li Jixian made a lot of money in one go. He was very proud of himself these days and even dreamed that he was lying on a mountain of gold and silver, with everyone kneeling on his ground and licking his feet.
Chunxi's reaction reminded him of the humiliation of being knocked out of his teeth by Shen Qingyuan in public. He immediately became furious and pointed at Chunxi and cursed: "You vicious woman, ever since you married into the Qingyuan Marquis's Mansion, you have caused unrest in the mansion. You even killed my wife while I was away and forced my daughter to stay in the mansion, hoping to use this to extort benefits from the Taifu Mansion. I have lived for so many years and have never seen anyone more cruel than you. Give me my daughter back!"
Li Jixian confidently confuses right and wrong.
As soon as he finished speaking, a group of people suddenly rushed out of the crowd, holding a bucket in their hands, which was emitting a foul smell. They headed straight for Chunxi with a clear target.
"Ma'am, be careful!"
A Li immediately brought people to stand in front of Chun Xi.
At the same time, Uncle Hu turned back, used his Qinggong skills to fly forward, and kicked all these people to the ground.
Crash~
The foul-smelling sewage was scattered all over the ground, and all the onlookers were forced to cover their noses and step back.
Uncle Hu didn't stop and jumped directly onto the carriage.
He originally wanted to capture Li Jixian directly, but in the carriage, the originally delicate Jiao Niang and Mei Niang suddenly rushed out with daggers and stabbed straight at him.
Jiao Niang and Mei Niang cooperated well with each other, and their first move was a killing move. Uncle Hu was caught off guard and was forced off the carriage. A piece of his sleeve was also cut off.
Uncle Hu was stern, and his eyes suddenly became murderous.
He smelled the scent of desperadoes from the two women.
How could such a person use his beauty to please others?
Uncle Hu was keenly aware of something amiss. Li Jixian was startled by Uncle Hu and, after escaping danger, immediately started yelling frantically, "Cao Chunxi, you crazy woman! I'm the fourth young master of the Taifu Mansion. If you dare let anyone hurt me, I'll tear you into pieces!"
Chunxi raised an eyebrow: "You are worse than pigs and dogs, stop barking like a dog, come here if you have the guts."
