After Xia Tian said this, everyone in the room looked at Liu with complicated eyes. The implication of these words was too clear.
Need I tell you who planned this?
Liu's face turned pale and blue after hearing what Xia Tian said, but she didn't know how to refute.
"Shut up, everyone." The old lady scolded irritably, "Xia, how can you, a junior, talk to an elder?"
Xia Tian didn't want to provoke the old lady's anger, so he quickly bowed his head and admitted his mistake, "I'm sorry, grandma, it was my granddaughter-in-law who overstepped the boundaries."
"And you, Liu, as an elder, why are you arguing with a younger person?
What do you mean it was Xia's fault?
Ke'er was injured twice and was kicked out of the imperial examination. As a mother, don't you have any responsibility?
I think what Xia said is right. It is your negligence in discipline that has led to the consequences today.
If he had studied hard in the academy, would these things have happened?"
The old lady was already heartbroken when she saw Chen Ke's expression, and she didn't know how to vent her frustration, when Liu suddenly bumped in.
Just fire at her.
Seeing the old lady's anger, Liu Shi no longer dared to say those half-truths and quickly humbled herself, "Mother, you are teaching me that it is my daughter-in-law who neglected to discipline me."
After saying that, he glared at Xia Tian with a dark look in his eyes.
Xia Tian stood aside with his head lowered and said nothing more.
Liu Shi didn't know what tricks she had up her sleeve. She suddenly smiled and said to her, "Xia Shi, I misunderstood you just now. Don't take it to heart. I was just too anxious and said something without thinking."
Xia Tian paused, then quickly waved her hand, "It's okay, it's okay. It was my fault as the eldest sister-in-law. Madam must have thought of this a long time ago and doesn't need me to remind her."
But she was extremely alert in her heart. Liu wanted to eat her just now, but now she turned around and apologized to her. She changed her expression faster than her. She definitely had no good intentions.
“Since you are the eldest sister-in-law, you should also feel sorry for your brother.
You saw just now that Ke'er was badly injured. Mother heard that the medicine in your hand saved the eldest daughter from a difficult labor and heavy bleeding. So, can you also save your brother? " Liu said earnestly, looking at her expectantly.
Xia Tian shuddered secretly, it turned out that he wanted the life-saving medicine in her hand.
No wonder he suddenly sounded nicer.
"But that medicine can only replenish blood and qi. I don't know if it will be useful for people with broken legs." Xia Tian hesitated and didn't say anything complete.
"What medicine?" the old lady asked with a puzzled look.
"Mother, you don't know yet, do you? Our eldest daughter had heavy bleeding during childbirth that day. Even the imperial physician was helpless at the time. But after taking the medicine given by Xia, the bleeding stopped immediately."
Liu smiled and explained to the old lady, "During the third day of the bath, the wife of the Ning'an Marquis even pulled me aside to thank me for a long time."
"Hui'er had a difficult delivery, how come I didn't know about this?" the old lady said somewhat displeased.
No one told her such a big thing!
"The eldest lady only sent someone to call the prince and his wife, so my mother naturally didn't know about it. My daughter-in-law only found out when she was having her third day bath that day."
Liu sighed leisurely, "Maybe the eldest lady still feels that the closest person to her is the prince!"
Xia Tian secretly rolled her eyes. She is really a white lotus. She will put on eye drops whenever she gets the chance!
The old lady snorted and didn't mention Shen Hui anymore. She turned to look at Xia Tian and said, "Xia, do you really have that kind of life-saving medicine?"
"I don't know if it can save lives. This medicine is for replenishing blood and Qi. I guess what happened to my elder sister was just a coincidence."
Liu didn't believe it and said earnestly, "Xia, please save your brother. Otherwise, can I buy him off with some money?"
"But this medicine may not be useful for fourth brother? Besides, I don't have many pills left." Xia Tian didn't want to give Liu away for nothing, so he said with some embarrassment.
"One thousand taels of silver each. Mother doesn't want more, just two will do." Liu didn't give her a chance to refuse and ordered, "Qiuyue, go and get two thousand taels of silver notes."
"No, ma'am, I..." Xia Tian looked at the old lady with pleading eyes like a lost child.
"Xia, we are a family. Since you have this life-saving medicine, give it to Ke'er. Besides, your mother didn't want it for nothing. One thousand taels of silver per pill is not a small amount." The old lady echoed.
"Okay, I'll listen to grandma. But I can't guarantee whether this medicine will be effective or not." Xia Tian said this in advance.
They forced her to take it out, so they can't blame her if it's of no use.
"Don't worry, I will take care of this matter for you." The old lady was reassured.
"Okay then, I'll go back to Jinglan Garden to get the medicine first." Xia Tian said and came out with Ningxiang.
"Madam, do you really want to give the pills to the Fourth Young Master?" Ningxiang looked around to see that there was no one around and asked in a low voice.
She didn't know how much of the life-saving medicine the lady had left, but she really didn't want the lady to give it to Chen Ke.
"Give it to me, there's nothing I can do if I don't." Xia Tian said leisurely, "Didn't you see? They were the ones who forced me to take it out just now."
"But this medicine is so precious. I gave away two pills at once, and they're all from the same family." Ningxiang couldn't explain it clearly. They were all bad guys, and they still wanted this life-saving medicine? How shameless!
Seeing Ningxiang was depressed and silent, Xia Tian smiled and whispered, "Although it took us a while to make this medicine, I can still afford to give you two pills."
Ningxiang's eyes lit up, "Madam, you mean that..."
"Yeah, that's it, don't we do that a lot?"
"This is good. Madam is really smart." Ningxiang became happy again.
