Liu stopped, turned around and looked at Xia Tian with some annoyance.
Xia Tian quickly added, "I'm doing this for Fourth Brother's own good. Don't take medicine carelessly. Let Doctor Cao test whether Fourth Brother can take this medicine. That way, everyone will feel more at ease, right?"
The old lady nodded. "That's right. Liu, show the medicine to Doctor Cao."
Doctor Cao is the palace physician. After the imperial physician left, he has been here to take care of Chen Ke, fearing that something might happen.
Hearing what the old lady said, she quickly took the porcelain bottle, poured out both pills, smelled them, looked at them carefully, and said, "Yes, this pill is what the prince's wife said is for replenishing blood and qi, no problem."
"Doctor Cao, please check carefully to see if there is any poison or anything on it?" Xia Tian suddenly asked.
Doctor Cao was stunned for a moment. Who would ask a doctor to check whether the pills they brought were poisonous?
Although she was surprised by the Crown Prince's wife's train of thought, she still answered truthfully, "No, there is no problem with this medicine."
"That's okay." Xia Tian smiled and stood aside.
Everyone in the room was watching her operation and was speechless. It was too meticulous.
But it's not her fault. Just looking at what Liu said just now, she could blame Chen Ke's broken leg on her. It's not her fault for being careful.
Liu took the medicine with a gloomy expression and went to the inner room with Doctor Cao to give the medicine to Chen Ke.
The old lady saw that there was nothing to do here and was about to let everyone go about their business.
Unexpectedly, Liu came out from the inner room and said, "Mother, I would like to invite the master from Lingwu Temple to come to our house to perform a ritual. Do you think it is possible?"
"Performing a ritual? Why?" The old lady was puzzled. Why was there a ritual going on out of the blue?
"Ke'er has been in trouble one after another, so my daughter-in-law wondered if there was something unclean in the house. Performing a ritual would give people peace of mind."
The old lady thought about it and realized that there seemed to be a lot of things going on at home recently, so she decided to perform a ritual to seek peace of mind.
"Okay, then pick an auspicious day to invite him!"
Xia Tian secretly grinned. Is this even superstition? If you didn't harm people, would these things happen?
How come everyone else is fine, but you and Shen Ke are the only ones in trouble? Ugly people are the ones who cause trouble!
But I can only complain in my heart.
After Liu finished speaking, everyone dispersed.
It was not until Shen Nian came back from his shift in the evening that Xia Tian found the opportunity to ask about Shen Ke.
"Brother Shen, Shen Ke broke her leg today, did you know?"
“Yeah, I heard about it.” Shen Nian said indifferently.
Heard about it? Xia Tian was puzzled. Why did the tone not sound like he did it?
Is it really an accident?
She moved closer to Shen Nian, tilted her head and looked into his eyes, "Did you ask someone to do this?"
Shen Nian gently pushed away the face that was close to him, and then said "hmm" unnaturally.
Xia Tian instantly became happy, "I really thought God was watching over me."
Thinking of his misleading expression and tone just now, he said with some dissatisfaction, "Why did you speak in that tone just now? I thought it wasn't you."
“Didn’t you say you should keep a low profile?” Shen Nian secretly suppressed a laugh.
"So you were just teasing me." Xia Tian refused to listen and pounced on him with a smile. The two of them played around for a while.
She then asked him quietly, "Liu will definitely investigate this matter. Will it be discovered?"
"Don't worry, you can't find out."
"Well, that's good."
In the next few days, she basically did not go out except going to the palace to teach the princes and princesses how to paint.
He stayed at home and painted honestly, and received more and more paintings from Xiao, the owner of Yayizhai.
Although making money is not easy, she still accepts orders when she can. The paintings ordered by Shopkeeper Xiao are all scheduled until the end of next year.
Liu had always suspected that Chen Ke's fall from the horse was not an accident, and she pestered Marquis Wu'an to investigate.
Marquis Wu'an had the same idea, so he asked someone to carefully check why the horse suddenly lost control, but after a thorough investigation, they found nothing.
Xia Tian felt relieved when he heard this.
On the fifth day of October, Liu invited a master from Lingwu Temple to perform a ritual at home.
Early in the morning, Liu and the second wife led people to set up the Buddhist altar in the front yard, and placed the prepared offerings such as incense, candles, flowers, fruits, as well as ritual instruments such as wooden fish.
The monks who came from Lingwu Temple were actually led by the abbot of Lingwu Temple. Everyone gathered in the front yard. When they began to chant, they all knelt in an orderly manner and listened quietly to the sound of chanting and the sound of wooden fish and other instruments being struck.
You know what, this rhythmic sound can gradually calm a restless heart.
Liu, who was kneeling not far from Xia Tian, was secretly looking at her.
Xia Tian rolled his eyes and didn't bother to pay attention to her.
Do you really think she is some kind of monster that can reveal her true form?
After the chanting and praying were over, Liu asked the masters to go around each courtyard to see if there was anything unclean.
The abbot of Lingwu Temple didn't say anything and agreed with a smile. He probably did this kind of thing so many times that he was no longer surprised.
After the master had gone around every courtyard, he naturally found nothing.
Liu was unwilling to give up and wanted them to take another good look at Jinglan Garden and Lingyun Pavilion. However, the old lady couldn't bear it anymore and spoke out to stop her, and Liu gave up.
By the time we sent the abbot and the others away, it was almost afternoon. Xiatian hadn't had lunch yet and was starving.
Originally, Liu wanted to pray for peace and blessings, but the abbot said that it would be more sincere to pray at Lingwu Temple.
Liu had no choice but to let them go back.
As soon as the masters from Lingwu Temple left, the old lady drove Xia Tian and the others away and started to attack them. "Liu, what exactly are you thinking about by inviting a master to perform a ritual today?"
She had just realized that this was specifically aimed at Nian'er and Xia.
Otherwise, why don’t they check other courtyards carefully, but check these two courtyards again?
Usually, she just pretended not to hear or see her little thoughts. After all, they were just minor incidents and did not cause any serious consequences.
Today, they openly checked the courtyard of the Marquis's son and his wife in front of outsiders. This shows that they don't want to lose face for the Marquis's Wu'an Mansion.
"Mother, I'm doing this for the good of our family. If there's something unclean here, it would be scary, so I asked the master to take a closer look." Liu said aggrievedly.
"Humph, what's your purpose? Do you think I'm old and confused and don't know? Forget it before, but now that Nian'er is well, just put away your little thoughts."
"Mother, my daughter-in-law really doesn't have one."
"Whether you have it or not, from today on, behave yourself and be a good marquis. Don't think about things that don't belong to you." The old lady waved her hand with a grim expression, "Go down and think about it carefully. I'm tired."
"Yes, mother, your daughter-in-law will take her leave." Liu bowed and retreated.
The old lady rubbed her forehead tiredly. When Aunt Zhang saw this, she quickly helped the old lady to lie down in the inner room.
As soon as Liu left the old lady's yard, her face fell.
Unexpectedly, even the old lady is now on the side of Shen Nian and that wild girl. It seems that she has to speed up her actions.
