Chapter 108 has nothing to do with me.
The Rong Mansion is in chaos!
The little girl Nuonuo's sudden headache interrupted the confrontation between Rong Jianxue and Bai Shutong!
The West Courtyard, which Pei Jingxu had been forced to move out of in order to hold a peace ceremony for Rong Xuanzhou, became lively again because of Rong Xuanzhou's return to Beijing!
Rong Xuanzhou placed Nuonuo, who had a "headache", in a side room in the west courtyard, and hurriedly called a doctor to treat her.
The return of the Huben Army led by Rong Xuanzhou to the capital was really hasty. Although they had tried their best to give the best to Bai Shutong and her two children, Rong Xuanzhou still felt that they had not taken good care of them.
Looking at Nuonuo's frowning little face, she was not sleeping well. She was mumbling something in her sleep, her two little hands were grabbing around unconsciously, and she kept calling "Mom".
Rong Xuanzhou frowned. He turned to look at Bai Shutong, whose eyes were red, and whispered, "The doctor said Nuonuo might have a fever and a cough. I've asked the kitchen to make some medicine. I'll feed her some later."
Bai Shutong bit her lip slightly. She looked at the child who kept talking in his sleep on the bed with heartache, and her voice trembled: "If anything happens to Nuonuo, I really can't forgive myself..."
Rong Xuanzhou pursed his lips slightly, lowered his eyes and looked at Bai Shutong who was anxious and helpless in front of him, and was in a trance for a moment.
In front of him, she always appeared very strong, and only when it came to matters related to her children would she rarely be seen at a loss.
His brows softened slightly, and Rong Xuanzhou said softly, "I have to go to the palace to see the emperor first. You go to the side room and rest for a while and wait for me to come back."
Bai Shutong bit her lip and said, "This... is your and Sister Pei's yard. I can't stay here."
Rong Xuanzhou frowned slightly and said in a cold voice, "Where else can you go when Nuonuo is like this?"
He calmed down his temper, and said in a low, soft voice, "Pei Jingxu is just agitated today. She doesn't mean any harm. When I come back, I'll ask her to apologize to you."
Bai Shutong raised her eyes, misty with tears as she looked at Rong Xuanzhou: "Brother Xuanzhou, thank you so much..."
"If it weren't for you, I wouldn't know what to do if Nuonuo got so excited today..."
Rong Xuanzhou twitched the corner of his lips at her unskillfully: "Don't think too much. You and Xuan should go and rest for a while. We'll discuss everything after I come back."
"Okay, Brother Xuanzhou, go get busy first."
Rong Xuanzhou gave a few instructions, glanced at Nuonuo who was sleeping on the bed, and then turned and left.
Looking at Rong Xuanzhou's departing back, Bai Shutong narrowed his eyes, his eyes flickering.
--
East courtyard, side room.
While packing her luggage, Hongyao looked at Pei Jingxu beside her, wanting to say something but stopping herself.
"What do you want to say?"
Pei Jingxu sat in front of the dressing table, using rouge and powder to make the corners of her eyes more rosy.
"Miss, are we really going back to the West Courtyard?" Hongyao frowned, indignant. "Didn't you see that when I just came over from the West Courtyard, that Bai was sitting on a stone bench under a tree in the yard, as if she was the owner of the West Courtyard!"
Pei Jingxu raised his eyebrows slightly, with a look of emotion on his face.
She suddenly remembered her previous life, which seemed to be just like Hongyao.
When she saw Bai Shutong appear in the west courtyard, her blood boiled, and she became angry and jealous, and she couldn't help but target her everywhere.
But the heroine is the heroine. Every time Bai Shutong is bullied, Rong Xuanzhou always appears in time and then plays the hero to save the beauty. She becomes the unreasonable "wife of hardships".
Over time, Rong Xuanzhou became fed up with her, thinking she was jealous and vicious by nature. He even wrote her a letter of divorce, wanting to divorce her.
After living a new life, Pei Jingxu discovered that when he saw Bai Shutong and Rong Xuanzhou living in harmony, the jealousy in his heart had long disappeared.
All those love affairs are insignificant compared to staying alive.
"If we go back to the West Courtyard now, won't we have to meet Bai every day?" Hongyao muttered, looking unwilling.
Pei Jingxu curled his lips into a smile, staring at himself in the bronze mirror: "Without destruction, there is no construction."
"Ah?" Hongyao didn't understand. "What did you say, young lady?"
Pei Jingxu raised his eyebrows slightly: "Tell me, what is Rong Jianxue doing now?"
…
In the study.
After Rong Jianxue read the memorial given to him by the emperor, his face became even gloomier.
With a "pop" sound!
Rong Jianxue threw the memorial on the table and said in a cold tone, "So, he teamed up with the Prime Minister and the Crown Prince to stage such a cowardly escape?"
Jiang Hui half-knelt on the ground, bowed and clasped his fists: "Master, calm down."
After a pause, Jiang Hui said softly, "The Second Young Master faked his own death to let the enemy down, so we can defeat them and win the battle."
"The enemy invaded the border, and he clearly had more and better ways to repel them, but he resorted to faking his own death. What do you think he was trying to do?!"
Rong Jianxue said sternly, "He simply wants to cause regret in the court, make the emperor feel guilty and remorseful, then come back from the dead and repel the enemy, so that His Majesty will take notice of him and praise his military achievements!"
Jiang Hui was stunned, his eyes wide open, having never expected this.
Rong Jianxue's face was solemn, and his voice was cold and stern: "For generations, the Rong family has only assisted the emperor and not participated in factional disputes. Rong Xuanzhou actually conspired with the Crown Prince for military merit. How would Your Majesty feel?!"
Having said that, Rong Jianxue sneered, his emotions unclear.
"Looking at how my parents are acting today, it seems like they've known for a long time that Xuan Zhou is still alive. Could it be that everyone in the Rong Mansion has kept this from me, their eldest brother?"
Jiang Hui rolled his eyes and whispered, "Young Master... the Second Lady doesn't know either..."
For a moment, the man who was originally slightly angry and indifferent pursed his lips slightly, and the finger bones holding the Buddhist beads in his sleeves tightened inch by inch.
Pinching the bridge of his nose with a headache, Rong Jianxue frowned, his expression showing a bit of fatigue.
——He didn't sleep well the whole night yesterday.
I had a ridiculous dream all night.
He had to find a way to help Rong Xuanzhou deal with this matter. He told his parents, the prime minister and the crown prince about his fake death, but he did not tell His Majesty.
Now Xuanzhou is in the emperor's good graces, and Your Majesty will not give it much thought. However, after some time has passed, there is no guarantee that the emperor will not take this matter to heart and punish him for deceiving the emperor.
He needed to think about how to explain this matter in the memorial he would submit to His Majesty tomorrow.
"How is she?"
Sitting upright in front of the long desk again, Rong Jianxue pinched her eyes and lowered her eyes to look at the stupid Pixiu on the table.
Jiang Hui immediately reacted: "I just saw that the Second Lady seemed to be packing her luggage. She should move back to the West Courtyard tonight."
Yes, now that Rong Xuanzhou is back, there is no need to hold a peace ceremony, so she naturally has to go back.
Rong Jianxue's eyes were like a cold pond, and her face was so gloomy that it seemed as if water could drip out of it.
"Also... I just saw the Second Lady, and she seemed to have been crying..."
Hearing this, Rong Jianxue closed her eyes slightly. When she opened them again, her eyes were cold and gloomy: "It has nothing to do with me."
He said, it has nothing to do with me.
I don't know if I'm talking to Jiang Hui or to myself.
Jiang Hui didn't respond and continued to report, "Sir, the master said that we should have dinner in the front hall tonight and have a family dinner together."
Rong Jianxue pursed her lips slightly: "I understand."
