Chapter 352 Gao Wanxin's Helplessness
After instructing the maid to stay by her side, Gao Wanxin went to eat something.
Yu'er sent Yi'er into the house and put him to sleep, then went to serve Gao Wanxin.
"Has Yi'er eaten yet?"
When Gao Wanxin saw Yu'er coming, she asked. She was a little hungry, but because Zhao Xuan vomited blood out of anger, she also lost her appetite. There was a bowl of light noodles and four side dishes on the table, and she only ate a little.
Yu'er replied, "He was so sleepy before he even finished eating. After he finished eating, I watched him walk around for a while before I helped him to sleep."
"That's good. You can't go to sleep right after eating."
"Madam, you seem to be in a bad mood? Is the master's condition not good?"
Gao Wanxin glanced at Yu'er and said, "Who told you that? My Lord is the pillar of the Zhao family, so naturally it's fine. Don't say anything nonsense and don't spread it around."
After being pointed out a few times, Yu'er hurriedly said, "I have remembered everything my lady said."
"It's just that Yu'er feels sorry for the lady. The lady is sincere to the lord and the people of the Zhao family, but now, you are being said like this because of the lord."
Yu'er heard everything Zhao Chengliang said to Gao Wanxin outside the door.
She was standing up for her wife in her heart.
Gao Wanxin's expression eased a little.
"Let's just talk about it behind closed doors, and don't spread it around. My Lord still values the eldest son. Yi'er and Yu'er are boys, but they are too young. My Lord can't count on them now, so I still want to count on the eldest son. But I can't figure it out with the eldest son."
Gao Wanxin knew in her heart that Zhao Xuan would never give up on Zhao Chengliang.
Otherwise, Zhao Chengliang could not be allowed to go to Jizhou.
Gao Wanxin didn't know much about Jizhou, but she knew that it was a place that Zhao Xuan had always thought about and had never let go. If Zhao Chengliang could reform himself, the Zhao family would eventually be given to Zhao Chengliang.
The eldest son has always been respected.
Although the two sons she gave birth to were also legitimate sons, she was a concubine.
Gao Wanxin was not afraid that Zhao Xuan loved Zhao Chengliang, but she was worried that after Zhao Chengliang came to power, he would find ways to target the three of them, mother and son.
This is what Gao Wanxin is worried about.
Gao Wanxin has been feeling particularly depressed these days. Apart from taking care of Zhao Xuan on a daily basis, she has no mood to take care of anything else.
Wait until the day of the full moon banquet of the Chen family in the Marquis Mansion.
Gao Wanxin prepared generous gifts and went to the Chen family, the Marquis's Mansion, with Zhao Xuan.
After getting off the carriage, Gao Wanxin straightened Zhao Xuan's clothes and loosened his sleeves.
"Are you feeling well, sir? If you feel unwell, please tell me. Also, you are still taking medicine and cannot drink alcohol."
Zhao Xuan patted the back of her hand and said, "Don't worry, I know everything you said."
"Okay, let's go in."
There was a hint of impatience in Zhao Xuan's words, which was understandable. After all, he was a big shot who was used to a leisurely life and didn't like being nagged by others.
Gao Wanxin was really worried that something might happen to Zhao Xuan again. After all, he was still taking medicine. If he drank again...
The consequences are unimaginable.
But Zhao Xuan obviously didn't believe her.
Gao Wanxin sighed lightly. She loved Zhao Xuan, but now it seemed that Zhao Xuan might have loved her when he married her, and loved her when he gave her everything. But if she kept nagging, his love for her might fade.
Gao Wanxin had no choice but to instruct the maid and servant to keep a close eye on Zhao Xuan.
She took her maid and two old women to the residence where the female members of the family were received. She met a few familiar people and greeted them. Perhaps because she was Zhao Xuan's wife, many people took the initiative to greet and interact with her.
Basically, people who were at odds with the Chen family of the Marquisate were not invited.
The guests invited were all wives of officials with whom the couple had a good relationship. They sat together, drank tea and chatted, and had a great time.
Gao Wanxin also went into the house to check on Li Yuan.
Gao Wanxin was very surprised to see that the girl was white and plump.
"I've always dreamed of having a girl, but now I have two, both boys. I envy you."
Li Yuan smiled lightly, "You are still young, and Lord Zhao is also strong and healthy. You will have a daughter sooner or later."
Gao Wanxin smiled faintly.
There were also several ladies standing in the room, all of whom came to give gifts to the children. Gao Wanxin gave the little girl a three-piece set, two gold bracelets and a gold lock, which looked exquisite and not tacky.
The other ladies also gave gifts.
After seeing the child, she was taken to the side courtyard by the housekeeper to wait for the banquet.
When Yun Qiao arrived, Gao Wanxin was at the end and had not left yet. When they met, they naturally had to say hello.
She called out "Hello, Your Highness."
"Mrs. Zhao, you're welcome. You and I are related."
"Is Lord Zhao feeling better? I heard from the Marquis that he was ill and didn't even attend the morning court."
Gao Wanxin would never tell Yun Qiao that Zhao Xuan was so angry with his own son Zhao Chengliang that he vomited blood and was bedridden for three whole days, so he did not attend the morning court.
Gao Wanxin found a decent excuse and said, "I caught a cold, it was a bit serious, but now my master is well. I'm sorry to bother you with your concern, Princess."
Yun Qiao smiled lightly and nodded.
"I'm glad you're okay. You still need to be more careful."
Gao Wanxin was talking to Yun Qiao. She wanted to talk about business matters, but thinking that today was Li Yuan's daughter's full moon banquet, she didn't want to talk about business matters.
Then he turned around and followed the women in front of him to the banquet hall.
After the banquet, Gao Wanxin left.
Before she left the Chen family's mansion, she asked the maid to check on the master. Did he drink?
The maid came back and said she didn't drink any wine.
Only then did Gao Wanxin feel relieved and go back.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Xuan came back when it was getting dark. He was conscious and walked steadily and vigorously, but he smelled of alcohol.
When Gao Wanxin went forward to help him undress, she smelled alcohol.
"Sir, have you been drinking?"
Zhao Xuan didn't take it seriously. "It's just a few glasses of wine. It's not like I haven't had it before. Don't take it too seriously."
Zhao Xuan was happy today because his daughter Zhao Lingxi was very favored by the emperor in the palace. Some civil and military officials in the court were fawning on him when they spoke to him.
Zhao Xuan has always disliked these empty words, but who doesn't like to hear nice words?
He drank a few more glasses of wine because of the flattery.
He didn't feel anything when he drank it, but now that he's back, he feels dizzy and his head is swollen. Plus, Gao Wanxin keeps asking him about it, so Zhao Xuan doesn't want to answer.
"I'm tired, I'm going to rest first."
"Don't wait for me for dinner."
Before Gao Wanxin could say anything of concern, Zhao Xuan had already walked towards the bed in the room.
Gao Wanxin sighed, then said, "Go and call Yi'er to have dinner with me."
"My lady, don't think too much about it. The master may have just drunk some wine and is a little tired." Yu'er comforted her.
Gao Wanxin hummed, "Let the two outside come in and serve. I'll have dinner with Yi'er first."
