Chapter 335 The news reached the capital
On the way back to the Mu Mansion, Mu Chuqing and Mu Jingxing took a carriage.
"Brother, when we went to Fengquan Villa that day, could you have found a way to get my cousin to go? It's all my fault for speaking too hastily."
Mu Jingxing: "Then let him go."
"What? You don't plan to express your feelings to Sister Yu?"
"When did I say that?"
"You..." Mu Chuqing was exhausted, "I don't care about you anymore, hum!"
"Okay, sister, don't be angry." Mu Jingxing quickly coaxed her, "I really didn't say that. Did Xiao Fei tell you?"
Xiao Fei, who was outside the window, instantly moved ten steps away.
Prince, hurry up! If you don’t marry a wife, how can he marry one?
Mu Chuqing still had a bad face. "If you don't hurry up, after Madam Du's birthday, your cousin's grandparents will be back soon. By then, it will be too late. Oh, it's not too late. You can just break up their engagement and turn your cousin against you. That would make you happy."
Mu Jingxing raised his eyebrows and said, "Guan Chen is not here today. It would be great if he was here."
Mu Chuqing frowned, "Why are you talking about him?"
"You are not a child anymore. Guanchen is a good guy. I like him very much."
Mu Chuqing was so angry that she threw the soft couch beside her. "Then marry him. You're capable! Humph, you're such an ice cube. Sister Yu won't like you. My cousin is better. He's as gentle as jade, handsome, and has a nice voice. Sister Yu should like him!"
If she cares about her brother again, she will take his surname!
When they arrived at the Mu Mansion, Mu Chuqing got off the carriage angrily.
"Qing'er, what's wrong? Did your brother make you angry?"
Duke Anguo Mu Jingbei got off another carriage.
Mu Chuqing instantly put on a smile, "No, Daddy, why are you back so early today?"
"Oh, everything is fine in the yamen."
When Mu Jingbei saw Old Madam Mu coming down, he quickly stepped forward to support her and glanced at his eldest son with a malicious look.
Mu Jingxing: ...
"It must be you who pissed off Qing'er. My hands are itching to hit someone. I haven't beaten anyone in a while!"
"Dad, Big Brother really didn't provoke me. He dotes on me the most. If Big Brother had provoked me, I would have scratched him directly."
"Hiss..." Mu Jingbei took a breath, "It's better not to tickle him. He only has a pretty face. He can't get a wife to begin with, and if you tickle him, he'll be even less likely to get one."
"Ha ha……"
Madam Mu said, "Okay, let's go in quickly and don't stand at the door."
Arrived at Madam Mu’s yard.
Mu Jingbei then said, "Half an hour ago, the Emperor received a report from the border. Cheng Xiao was stabbed by an assassin from the Jiang Kingdom. He injured his lumbar spine and has been confined to a wheelchair."
"What?"
Madam Mu and the Mu brothers and sisters were all shocked and couldn't believe it.
"Dad, is this true?"
"This is definitely true. The emperor had already sent someone to invite Elder Jiang before I came back."
Mu Chuqing: "What should we do? If this news gets to Madam Cheng, I'm afraid it will affect the baby in her belly."
Madam Mu said, "Don't worry, Mr. Jiang will definitely keep it a secret, and Miss Song will find a way to heal Mr. Cheng and help him stand up."
Imperial Palace
As soon as Jiang Youya stepped into the imperial study, he saw Xue Yuanpan, two imperial physicians, and other palace servants waiting there.
"Your Majesty, I wonder what is the important matter that has you summoned me so urgently?"
Seeing that he looked good, Xiao Yanli thought he would not be upset. Even if there was any emergency, Xue Yuanpan and the others would be able to take action in time.
Xiao Yanli couldn't bring himself to speak directly, so he handed the memorial to him and said, "Mr. Jiang, take a look at it yourself."
"This can't be true, right? How could Ah Xiao not be able to stand up?" Jiang Youya looked at the memorial in his hand, his eyes slightly red. "I don't believe it. This is fake, it can't be true!"
"Old Jiang, I also think this is not true, but it is impossible for the border to send false news. Don't worry, there are many famous doctors in the capital. Dean Xue will definitely find a way to cure Master Cheng."
Judge Xue said, "Yes, Mr. Jiang, with us here, we will definitely find a way to cure Mr. Cheng."
The other two imperial doctors quickly echoed, "Don't worry, Mr. Jiang. Master Cheng has made great contributions to the court. We will do everything we can to get him back on his feet."
Seeing how confident they were, Jiang Youya was really worried about whether he could cure Cheng Xiao.
"Your Majesty, casualties on the battlefield are inevitable. Many soldiers have sacrificed their lives for their country, truly heroic and brave. Ah Xiao is fortunate to have survived. If Court Judge Xue finds that there is no way for Ah Xiao to stand up and continue serving the court, then that is fate and destiny, which cannot be forced."
Xiao Yanli felt relieved when he heard him say that, and raised his hand to let Wang Gui take Xue Yuanpan and others out.
"Don't worry, Elder Jiang. Although Cheng Xiao was seriously injured, he led the troops to victory this time. I will naturally confer him a title of nobility. Do you think we should wait for him to return or send the imperial edict to the Cheng Mansion in the next few days?"
Jiang Youya said, "My Shushu is pregnant now and can't stand this kind of stimulation. Let's wait for him to come back before sending him there. As for the matter of Axiao, I will talk to my mother-in-law in person."
Xiao Yanli, "Okay, whatever you say."
"Your Majesty, if Ah Xiao can no longer stand up, can the title of Marquis be inherited by this old minister's grandson?"
Xiao Yanli smiled and said, "Of course it's natural for a son to inherit his father's business. And Cheng Xiao, is he still unaware that he has a son?"
Jiang Youya pursed his lips and said, "Give him a surprise when he comes back."
After Jiang Youya returned home, he asked his eldest daughter-in-law to go to the Jiang Mansion together and tell Mrs. Cheng about Cheng Xiao's experience.
As they expected, Old Madam Cheng was so shocked that she fainted.
What Jiang Youya didn't expect was that Old Madam Cheng woke up again and placed all her hopes on Song Yu.
Feng Yingying said, "Don't worry, Madam. With Sister Yu here with Ah Xiao, nothing will happen. He is Sister Yu's uncle, and Sister Yu will naturally do everything she can to save him. If Sister Yu is unable to do anything, she can't force him."
Madam Cheng said, "She must have a way. She can even cure your mother-in-law's eye disease."
Feng Yingying said, "Maybe. What exactly happened? We'll have to wait until my brother-in-law comes back to find out. Don't tell Shushu about this for now, otherwise she won't be able to concentrate on her pregnancy."
Madam Cheng: "Don't worry, I won't tell anyone."
"Then I'm going to see Shushu. Dad, you go back home first."
Jiang Youya nodded, comforted Old Madam Cheng a few more words, and left the Cheng Mansion.
"Shushu, your mother-in-law is really good at acting. If I hadn't known about it in advance, I would have taken it seriously."
Jiang Yunshu asked, "She's planning to hide it from me?"
"Your mother-in-law is keeping you under wraps, so naturally she can't tell you. She just said she wants Sister Yu to see Cheng Xiao. Don't worry, Sister Yu has her own way."
Jiang Yunshu thought that it was not enough for Cheng Xiao to just sit in a wheelchair!
He can't get out of bed, and needs someone to serve him when he eats, drinks, defecates, and urinates. He can only feel better if he lives without dignity!
"I understand. It's getting late. Sister-in-law, please go back."
"No rush, what are you planning to do with the second branch of the Cheng family?"
"The second branch is now well-behaved. Except for going to pray for peace to the mother-in-law, they stay in their courtyard all the time. The money they embezzled has been returned. So far, no fault has been found to force the second branch to share the property. However, the second branch will not be obedient for long. When they are found to have done something wrong, they will be forced to share the property."
Feng Yingying recalled Jiang Yunwan's words, "How's your diet now? Have you noticed anything they've done?"
