Chapter 347 Meeting Gu Jinyan on the way
Yu Ziyuan hurriedly got out of bed, holding her belly. As soon as she sat down on the recliner, Old Madam Cheng pushed the door open and came in.
"mother."
"mother."
When Mrs. Cheng saw that her son's face turned pale, the angry look on her face was replaced by one of heartache.
"Mom, why are you here so late?"
"Hmph!" Old Madam Cheng glanced at Yu Ziyuan and said in a cold tone, "It's all because of your unfilial and careless behavior. After returning to the capital, instead of taking care of your own health and going back to the mansion to find the imperial physician to see you, you actually came here. You've forgotten your mother after having a wife. You really have no conscience!"
"Mom." Cheng Xiao hurriedly explained, "I came back too late last night and was afraid of disturbing you... Ah, Mom, what are you doing?"
Old Madam Cheng strode forward, lifted the quilt and pinched Cheng Xiao's thigh hard.
"ah!"
Cheng Xiao cried out softly, frightening Yu Ziyuan's heart, "Mom, Xiao is in pain, please stop pinching me."
Madam Cheng let go and glared at her, "You still feel sorry for him? Why don't you persuade Ah Xiao to hurry back to the mansion and ask the imperial physician to see him?"
"Mom, I..."
"Mom, don't be mean to Ayuan, I'm fine."
Seeing that she was defending Yu Ziyuan, Old Madam Cheng was furious, "You rebellious son, I think you'd better not stand up!"
Cheng Xiao: …
"Don't worry, mother. You pinched me just now, but I'm conscious. I'm just temporarily unable to stand up. With so many famous doctors in the capital, I'm sure I can stand up and bring honor to our Cheng family."
Cheng Xiao said as she threw a thin brocade blanket to Yu Ziyuan.
Chuntang hurried over to cover Yu Ziyuan.
"Mom, please sit down quickly and don't get tired."
"Don't be tired! Pay more attention to your wife, Meng Guangde!"
Meng Guangde came in and went straight to the bed, carefully examining Cheng Xiao.
"How is it? Can Xiao still stand up?"
Meng Guangde said, "Madam, the uncle's injury is in the lumbar spine. Fortunately, the uncle is in good health and is a martial artist, otherwise it would be more serious."
Madam Cheng frowned, impatient, "Get to the point! Can Ah Xiao stand up?"
Meng Guangde glanced at Cheng Xiao's expression and said truthfully, "My medical skills are not enough to help the uncle stand up. Perhaps the imperial doctors and Song Yu have a way to help the uncle stand up."
"You step back."
"Yes." Meng Guangde bowed and walked out.
"Go back home tomorrow and ask the imperial physician to come and see you. If they can't find a way, ask Song Yu to see you."
Cheng Xiao didn't want to go back so early and put on a show in front of Jiang Yunshu. "Mom, my son just came back and hasn't rested well yet. Let's wait a couple of days."
Madam Cheng saw that he looked a little pale and had lost a lot of weight compared to before he went to the battle. "I'll give you one day. You must return home before noon the day after tomorrow! Don't forget that although you have made great contributions, the imperial decree to confer you the title of nobility has not yet come down. Also, I don't know if Elder Jiang has sent someone to the border to pick you up. If he finds that you are not at the border, think about the consequences!"
Cheng Xiao was shocked, "Did Mr. Jiang really send someone to pick me up?"
Madam Cheng said, "That day, when Elder Jiang came to the mansion to tell us, I could see that he was upset. Shushu is still in the dark. He didn't want Shushu to worry, so he might send someone to bring you back for a consultation."
Cheng Xiao nodded, "That's entirely possible. My father-in-law really likes me!"
Cheng Xiao was quite proud.
Madam Cheng frowned, "Don't be complacent. Mr. Jiang now has a son-in-law, and all his thoughts are on him!"
Cheng Xiao disagreed, "I heard from A Yuan that he is just a commoner with the title of scholar, and I am a marquis."
"The imperial edict hasn't come down yet! You must return home before noon the day after tomorrow!"
"I understand, mother. It's getting late, so don't go back. Just stay here."
"You think I can stay here?!"
Old Madam Cheng left the Yu Mansion with a gloomy face.
If you give birth to a rebellious son, you will never have a peaceful life.
Zhang Feng followed all the way to a tofu workshop.
After waiting for a quarter of an hour, he saw that Old Madam Cheng had gone in and never came out, so he climbed onto the roof, looked around, figured out where this was, and returned to the Jiang Mansion.
The next day, Zhang Feng saw Song Mingen stretching out and quickly pulled him into the study.
"There was progress last night. The old lady of the Cheng family took Meng Guangde to the Yu Mansion last night. The Cheng family's underground passage leads to the tofu workshop three streets away from the Yongping Marquis' Mansion. It is a small courtyard with two entrances."
Song Mingen was surprised for a moment, "Now arrange for two people to go over there and keep an eye on it."
"good!"
"Wait, our people are all watching the Gu family now, let the Jiang family watch this place."
Song Mingen felt that since he was always ahead in everything, his father-in-law and brother-in-law would probably doubt his identity, so he should keep a low profile.
"Yes, Master."
Song Mingen returned to the house and told Jiang Yunwan the news that Zhang Feng had found out.
Jiang Yunwan couldn't control her mouth, and soon everyone in the Jiang family knew about it.
Jiang Guanchen immediately arranged for people to keep an eye on the tofu workshop.
"Grandfather, Father, Cheng Xiao actually went to the concubine's place first. I'm sending someone to break into the Yu Mansion tonight to beat him up to vent my aunt's anger!"
This bastard!
All his previous behavior was fake, it really pissed him off!
"Nonsense!" Jiang Yunzhou frowned. "Don't ruin your aunt's plan! There will be plenty of opportunities to deal with him later. It's getting late, why don't you hurry to the yamen!"
"Oh." Jiang Guanchen left the room in a depressed mood.
"Dad, Madam Cheng passed away last night. Cheng Xiao should be back at the Cheng Mansion soon. I will definitely ask the imperial physician to come first, or ask Sister Yu to come."
Jiang Youya nodded: "Get ready, it's time to start acting, and get your emotions right to make it look more realistic."
Jiang Yunzhou pursed his lips and said, "Don't worry, we must act so that the Cheng family will think we are fools."
Jiang Youya: "If it weren't for Sister Yu's prophetic dream, wouldn't we be fools?"
Jiang Yunzhou: ...
"Dad, it's all my fault for not checking carefully back then."
"That's enough." Jiang Youya raised his hand. "What's the point of saying all this? Let's go to the Imperial College."
After school, the Song Yu sisters and the other two saw Zhang Feng coming over. They looked at each other, got on the carriage and rushed to Cheng Mansion together.
Yunyan looked at the three carriages going away and frowned. "It seems like the three Song Yu sisters are having some trouble."
Du Zhihuan said, "It has nothing to do with us. Even if something happens, we will find out soon." Then she walked back to the Song Mansion.
I met Gu Jinyan on the way.
"Sister Yan, where are you coming from?"
Gu Jinyan has been busy managing the business under her own name recently and has not seen Du Zhihuan for a long time. When she saw that she had lost weight, she instinctively felt a little distressed.
He took her to Yuetailou, the Gu Family Restaurant, and ordered a table full of dishes that Du Zhihuan liked.
"Hanhan, why did you lose so much weight? Eat more."
Du Zhihuan picked up one of Gu Jinyan's favorite dishes and said, "You were too fat before, all flesh on your body. You should lose some weight. Don't you think I look better now?"
Gu Jinyan looked up and took a closer look, then smiled and said, "Indeed, keep it small."
When my great aunt comes back, she will probably like Huanhuan, right?
"I've been busy with the shop lately. How have you been?"
Yunyan quickly interrupted, "My young lady has returned to the Song family..."
"Yan'er!" Du Zhihuan scolded, "Back off."
"What's going on?" Gu Jinyan was puzzled. "Why did you return to the Song family for no reason?"
Du Zhihuan said, "My biological mother is seriously ill and on the verge of death. Her life is in danger at any moment. Even the imperial doctors are helpless. I couldn't remain indifferent when I learned about this. She is my biological mother. Although she didn't raise me, I had to repay her kindness. So I went to ask my sister for help."
