"Sister, how is your recovery?" After the full moon banquet, Xia Tian stayed specially and sat in Shen Hui's room, teasing the baby and asking her.
The baby is finally not sleeping this time.
After not seeing the child for a month, he has grown fair and tender, and is now looking at the summer with wide eyes.
"It's completely healed, even better than when I gave birth to the first two." Shen Hui smiled.
She thought that the heavy bleeding during childbirth would really require her to rest for more than half a year to recover as the imperial physician said.
Unexpectedly, after the confinement period, she felt that she had almost recovered.
"That's good. Did you take the medicine on time?"
"I've finished eating. You're being so serious, how dare I disobey you?"
She took all the ten pills that Xia Tian gave her.
Fortunately, she listened and did as she was told, and the medicine was really effective, otherwise who knows when she would recover!
"You're feeling better, that's better than anything else." Xia Tian smiled and thanked her softly, "Big sister, thank you for the Caiyun Cloth Shop."
"What are you talking about? From now on, your business is my business. No need to be polite to Big Sister." Shen Hui said bluntly, "However, before I could take action against that Shopkeeper Qi, he ended up in trouble. Did you know?"
"I know, don't worry, big sister. This Shopkeeper Qi can no longer cause any trouble."
"Well, but you still have to be careful when you go out with my brother in the future." Shen Hui didn't ask any more questions. She understood it immediately. It must be her brother who took action for Manager Qi, and this time he did it quite efficiently.
Speaking of the medicine, Shen Hui asked curiously, "I heard that Chen Ke also took your medicine. How was it? Was it effective?"
When she heard that Chen Ke had broken her leg, she was quite happy. Later she said that it was Liu who forced the sale and insisted that Xia Tian give the life-saving medicine to Chen Ke.
Although she gave him the money, she still felt unhappy.
Unfortunately, she is in confinement and cannot go out.
Otherwise, I will definitely cause trouble for the Liu family!
"It has no effect." Xia Tian grinned, and found it funny when he recalled the expectant look in Liu's eyes when she asked the imperial physician to come and examine Chen Ke a few days later.
When the imperial physician finished the examination and said that she would have to recover slowly just like in the previous few days, Liu's face turned black and she looked at her as if she wanted to eat someone.
"Is your life-saving medicine really only effective for women who have just given birth?" Seeing that the baby was sleepy, Shen Hui took the baby from Xia Tian's arms, put him on the bed, and asked while patting him.
"No." Xia Tian leaned his head close to Shen Hui and whispered, "What I gave Shen Ke was just ordinary Qi-tonifying and blood-replenishing medicine. Of course, it didn't have any effect."
Shen Hui was stunned for a moment, then reacted, "You are still smart."
No ordinary person would dare to fool others with life-saving medicine, but I didn't expect that she would come up with this idea of switching the medicine.
To be honest, in that situation, she might not have been able to refuse. After all, they were nominally her family members and elders. If a family member could save them but didn't, outsiders would find out and criticize her.
This move not only easily resolved the dilemma, but also made Liu pay two thousand taels of silver. That was great!
"Hmph! Liu, don't you think about it? Considering the relationship between her and me, I'm already kind enough not to give her poison. And you even want life-saving medicine!" Xia Tian snorted. They had already fallen out a long time ago, so why was she still pretending to be affectionate with each other?
"Well done. But you shouldn't confront her head-on. She's very thoughtful. If you're unsure, you can talk to me. Don't be reckless." Shen Hui was still worried that Xia Tian would fall into Liu's trap.
"Well, don't worry, sister, I'm not stupid!" She agreed with a smile.
The two talked for a while, and then Xia Tian went back.
The next day, she wanted to go out to Linglong Lane, but Mrs. Xu came to visit her.
"Madam Xu, if you have anything to say, just send someone to call me. Why do you come here in person?" Xia Tian affectionately pulled Madam Xu to sit on the kang in her warm room.
This was Mrs. Xu's first time in Jinglan Garden. She looked around and nodded with satisfaction.
It seems that the Wu'an Marquis Mansion is not that blind!
At least we didn't make things difficult for people when it came to food and accommodation.
Based on what happened last time, she thought this girl was in dire straits!
Xia Tian knew what Mrs. Xu was thinking when he saw her scrutinizing look in her eyes. He felt relieved and fortunate at the same time. Fortunately, most of the people he met after coming to the capital were kind.
Of course it’s also her own efforts!
Even though Wen Jin and the others didn't know each other until they fought, as long as the result was good, that's enough!
After examining her, Madam Xu spoke sheepishly, "Xia girl, I have a relative who wants you to paint a portrait of his old lady. Knowing our good relationship, he came to me."
"No problem. Since you asked me in person, how can I refuse?" Xia Tian joked with a smile.
"You might have to go visit my relative about this matter." Mrs. Xu was a little embarrassed. "His old lady is seriously ill and can't get up. She probably won't live long. His family wants to paint her portrait before she passes away, so they can remember her in the future."
Her son got married two days ago, and her relative also came.
Because it was far away, I stayed at home that day.
The next day, her daughter heard that her sister-in-law Wen Jin had a portrait, so she insisted on seeing it. As a result, it was also seen by the relative's wife. She then found out about Xia Tian and insisted that she come to ask for help, as she wanted to paint a portrait for the old lady.
She didn't know whether Xia Tian would come to paint the portrait, but she had no choice but to come and ask for help because her relatives kept urging her.
"Well, it's no problem for me to come over. But I don't know where your relative lives? Is it far away?"
Someone had asked her to paint a portrait before, and basically they just made an appointment at a place, but she had never provided door-to-door service before.
However, since the old lady is seriously ill and cannot move, we can make an exception.
"That's exactly what I'm talking about!" Madam Xu was even more embarrassed. "His family isn't in the capital, but in Pingyang City, not far from the capital."
Xia Tian nodded.
She knew that Pingyang City was not too far away. It would take five or six days to go there and back by carriage.
"Of course, I can, but if I want to go on a long trip, I still need to get my old lady's consent."
"Don't worry about that. I'll talk to your old lady." Seeing Xia Tian agreed, Madam Xu quickly assured him, "Also, if everything is fine, I'll go with you to Pingyang City."
"That's great!" Xia Tian smiled and clapped his hands. "With Madam Xu accompanying me, I won't be afraid of traveling far."
"I asked you to do this, so naturally I have to go with you."
There was no way she would let a young female guest go to someone else's house by herself.
"Okay, Madam Xu, if you decide, just come pick me up. I'm ready to go at any time."
"Okay, then I'll go find your old lady first. You get ready. We'll leave early tomorrow morning and come back early."
"Well, Madam Xu, take care!"
Xia Tian sent Madam Xu out and watched her walk around the corridor before entering the courtyard.
He also asked Ningxiang and Ningxue to pack the clothes and other things they needed to take.
She also needs to tell Shen Nian here, wondering if he will agree to her going on a long trip?
