Shen raised her eyebrows and looked back and forth at the brother and sister.

In fact, she had already received a report from the servants about Mu Ge'er secretly going to play with Chen Jie'er.

She knew that this concubine was obedient and had no bad intentions, so she did not stop her. However, she did not expect that their relationship was so good.

Although Mu Ge'er was pouting angrily at the moment, no one knows a child better than his mother. Shen looked at his eyes that seemed to be shining and knew that the little guy was happy.

These two kids really get along!

Over the years, Sister Chen has probably been hiding her abilities, and this time, in order to save Brother Mu, she did not hesitate to expose the fact that she knows medicine. Shen smiled as she looked at the siblings.

"Didn't I come today?" Chu Qianchen pulled Chu Yunmu's small hand and rubbed his palm, then checked his pulse calmly and looked at his face. He saw that his little face was a little pale, his eyes were clear, and the pulse under his fingers was a little slow and weak.

Chu Qianchen breathed a sigh of relief and asked with a straight face, "Did you secretly eat glutinous rice dumplings this morning?"

“……”Chu Yunmu’s eyes wandered guiltily.

Chu Qianchen smiled, turned around and said to Shen: "Mother, my fourth brother is just greedy, there is nothing serious."

From Chu Yunmu's pulse, Chu Qianchen could roughly guess that Shen had forbidden him to eat for a day since yesterday. The reason was most likely because the doctor was worried that he might vomit due to a head impact, and was afraid that the vomit would block his airway and cause suffocation.

The kid was very hungry, so he ate and drank a lot this morning. He also secretly ate a few bites of glutinous rice balls that were difficult to digest, which irritated his stomach and caused him to vomit.

Shen was stunned when she heard this, and glanced at Chu Yunmu's wet nurse. The wet nurse Juan Niang looked panicked and stammered, "...The kitchen served pearl glutinous rice balls today, and I only used one for the fourth young master."

Chu Yunmu nodded hurriedly and said loudly: "Yes! Mom, I only took one. I don't feel uncomfortable now!"

Chu Qianchen smiled without saying anything, knowing full well that the boy had eaten at least three!

However, since he vomited it out, he was almost recovered. He would be completely fine if he just skipped a meal.

Chu Qianchen did not expose him, and continued: "Mother, if you have digestive tea here, just give Fourth Brother a bowl. We need to eat a lighter lunch today."

Shen nodded and told the maid beside her, "Lan Ying, go make a bowl of tea to help digestion."

Lan Ying immediately knelt down to accept the order and went down to prepare it personally.

Nanny Chen at the side moved her lips and said hesitantly, "Madam, it would be safer to find a doctor to take a look."

Nanny Chen is Shen's confidant, and everything she does is for Shen's benefit.

In her opinion, although the second young lady has a gentle and well-behaved temperament, she is, after all, the daughter of that person, so she cannot be fully trusted. Moreover, the second young lady is so young, it is hard to say whether she knows medicine and how much she knows.

"No need." Shen smiled, "I believe in Sister Chen."

She looked at Chu Yunmu on the couch tenderly. Since Chen Jieer could tell at a glance that Mu Ge'er had secretly eaten the glutinous rice dumplings, she knew that she was not speaking casually.

"..." Chu Qianchen's heartstrings seemed to be plucked by something.

In the past two lifetimes, Shen was the second person who said he believed in her.

Chu Qianchen couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth, his eyebrows and eyes were picturesque, making him look even more beautiful and radiant.

Seeing that the "crisis" was over, Chu Yunmu's true nature was revealed again. He urged, "Chu Qianchen, you haven't taught me how to unlock the Kongming lock yet!" He had completely forgotten about "not being nice to her" just now.

Chu Qianchen said again: "Call me Second Sister."

The memory seemed to be very far away. At this moment, Chu Qianchen vaguely remembered that in his previous life, before Chu Yunmu got into trouble, he gave him a Kongming lock to play with...

She didn't expect that she would have the chance to play the Kongming lock with Mu Ge'er.

"Juan Niang, quickly bring the Kongming lock." Chu Yunmu ordered hurriedly. As soon as he mentioned playing, he immediately became energetic and his face became much rosier.

Shen sat in an armchair nearby and looked at Chu Yunmu's energetic appearance. She was completely relieved.

Soon, Lan Ying brought some digestive tea.

Chu Yunmu had a bitter face, drank it all in one breath, and then ate a sweet apricot from Shen's hand, then looked at Chu Qianchen aggrievedly and said: "Chu Qian... Second sister, please make me a thousand-layer pastry, I am so pitiful."

Chu Qianchen rubbed his soft hair and responded readily: "Okay."

Chu Yunmu was satisfied and smiled with curved eyebrows.

At this time, Nanny Chen, who had been out for a while, came back and said solemnly, "Madam, I have already checked it out..."

"What's going on?" Shen's expression suddenly changed and she looked over with sharp eyes.

Nanny Chen looked at Chu Qianchen hesitantly, and then heard Shen say, "Go ahead."

Nanny Chen did not hesitate to speak frankly: "A rock on the rockery was loose. It rained heavily the night before. Few people climb the rockery on weekdays, and it has not been repaired in recent years."

Chu Qianchen raised his eyebrows and thought: Could this mean that the rocks of the rockery became loose due to the rain, and Chu Yunmu's fall was just an accident?

"Brother Mu," Shen smiled as she looked at Chu Yunmu on the couch and asked as if nothing had happened, "Why did you climb up the rockery to play yesterday?"

Shen actually wanted to ask yesterday, but Chu Yunmu was not in a good mental state at the time. She was afraid that he might have hurt his head, so she didn't dare let him think too much and didn't ask.

Chu Yunmu replied: "The kite flew to the branch next to the rockery."

Shen asked again: "Was there anyone else around at that time?"

Chu Yunmu shook his head. "After I climbed up, I suddenly stepped on empty space and fell down."

Shen nodded slightly, and the same thought as Chu Qianchen emerged in her mind: Could it really be an accident?

Nanny Chen stood aside with her head lowered and her eyes submissive.

Shen thought for a moment, then looked at Nanny Chen and asked, "Nanny Chen, have you checked if anyone went up to that rockery yesterday?"

Nanny Chen had asked people to check and inquire about it, and she quickly replied, "Madam, there is nothing."

Shen reviewed the matter carefully again, and for the time being, there was indeed nothing suspicious about the matter.

Chu Qianchen, who had been silent for a while, then said, "Madam Chen, have you asked Mei'er?"

She paused, and then continued, "It was Mei'er who went to Rongfu Hall to report yesterday. Maybe she saw Fourth Brother fall from the rockery."

Mei'er told her yesterday that she had seen her elder sister Chu Qianhuang near the rockery. However, Chu Qianhuang was her stepmother's biological daughter and Mu Ge'er's biological sister. It would be embarrassing for her to say this, so it would be better to let her stepmother ask the question herself.
