After a while, Lin Youcai walked out of the room.
"I'm sorry to trouble you, Doctor Lin. I'm the mother of the child inside. I wonder how the child is doing now?" Tong Mingyu asked cautiously.
"I gave her an acupuncture injection and put her to sleep. After a good sleep, she will be mostly recovered when she wakes up. I will prepare some pills for her, along with some nourishing medicated food. She will definitely recover within two years."
"Dr. Lin, thank you, thank you so much." Her daughter was finally going to recover. If there weren't outsiders around, if she wasn't in someone else's house, Tong Mingyu would have almost cried for joy.
"I am friends with Prince Jing and Fourth Master Xiao. I came here to treat the princess and your young lady at their request."
"Did my fourth brother ask you to treat my daughter? Our family will remember your kindness, and we will never forget your kindness." Tong Mingyu bowed to Lin Youshen again, and suddenly thought of something, Tong Mingyu asked again: "I wonder when I can take this child away."
"Is Madam Xiao afraid that Ping An will be wronged by me?" Yin Qianhua, who had just walked in, asked with a smile. She bowed to Lin Youqian and approached Tong Mingyu, followed by Princess Yun Ruonan.
"Princess, please don't say that. We've already disturbed you enough. How can you keep bothering us?"
"Why not? I haven't seen Ping An for a while. To be honest, my daughter's health is not very good. Let Dr. Lin treat the two children in this hospital. Don't move them here. It's troublesome."
Yun Yichen also breathed a sigh of relief. If his mother didn't show up again, he really didn't know how to keep the Xiao mother and daughter. There were some things that only his mother had the right to say.
"But..." Tong Mingyu had never thought of letting her daughter live here. It was inappropriate, very inappropriate.
"It's settled. Let's go in and see Ping An first. Achen, take your Uncle Lin downstairs to have some rest." Yin Qianhua assumed that Tong Mingyu had agreed, and arranged things calmly.
"I will follow the princess's arrangements." Although Tong Mingyu wanted to refuse Princess Jing's arrangements, she considered the current situation at home and Ping An's health, so she no longer insisted.
"Let the two children live together, so I don't have to run back and forth." Lin You received Yin Qianhua's signal and asked. Why wouldn't he be happy to have more time to rest and organize medical records?
This time, Tong Mingyu had to agree even if she didn't want to. She dared not disobey Dr. Lin's words. Whether her daughter could recover soon depended on him! She would have plenty of opportunities to repay the favors she owed to the Jing Palace and the princess in the future.
"When Ping'an wakes up, let her move to the guest room. After all, it's not appropriate for her to live in the backyard."
"I was just about to say that Achen did a good job today. In my eyes, Ping'an and Ruyi are my own family. The guest rooms are reserved for guests, not for our family. Doctor Lin also has a separate courtyard and will not live in the guest rooms." Yin Qianhua kept persuading Tong Mingyu. Her husband had sent someone back to the palace to pass on a message that Miss Xiao must be taken good care of. Even if her husband had not stayed, Yin Qianhua would not let Xiao Yao leave like this.
She also wanted to take this opportunity to let her daughter and Ping'an date, and then find an excuse to bring Ruyi in after a few days. She believed that with the sympathy between them and the daily interactions, the girls would definitely become friends.
Besides, Yin Qianhua knows Lin You better than Tong Mingyu. If he is asked to run around to take care of his daughter and Ping An, he might leave without saying goodbye one day. Unless there are special circumstances or special cases, few people can serve this man because he likes to enjoy himself and doesn't like to be constrained.
This is also the most important reason why Yin Qianhua persuaded Tong Mingyu to keep her daughter.
Yin Qianhua held her daughter's hand and went into Xiao Yao's room with Tong Mingyu one after another. Xiao Yao was no longer as uneasy as she was at the beginning. Her brows were relaxed and she slept peacefully, but her face was pale and bloodless, and she was as quiet as a rag doll.
Tong Mingyu gently stroked her daughter's forehead and cheeks, which were both warm. Tong Mingyu finally felt relieved. She asked Qiao Yue and Aunt Zhang to stay by her daughter's bedside, and then went to the living room next door to talk with Yin Qianhua.
"There's no need to express gratitude. My prince actually feels guilty! If it weren't for General Xiao and Lord Xiao who sacrificed their lives to protect him, even if his life wasn't in danger, he would definitely have been injured. Ping'an fainted after seeing her grandfather and uncle injured. In the final analysis, we are the ones who owe Ping'an such a shame."
"Don't say that." Tong Mingyu quickly stood up and said, "As ministers, it is their duty to protect the prince. Even if they are injured, it has nothing to do with the prince."
The emperor's order was difficult to obey. Let alone just getting injured, even if they lost their lives to protect King Jing, the Xiao family would not dare to complain. Today, the King Jing's wife could say such a thing, which was enough to give the Xiao family and General Xiao enough face. Tong Mingyu could not have any other attitude except to express gratitude on behalf of the Xiao family.
"How long will Ping'an sleep?" Yun Ruonan asked softly after the two of them had finished their polite exchanges. Hearing that the young lady from the Xiao family would be staying with her in the other courtyard to recuperate, and that her mother was coming to visit Xiao Yao, Yun Ruonan had for the first time taken the initiative to ask to go along. Of all the young ladies Yun Ruonan knew, only the two sisters from the Xiao family made her feel comfortable when she thought of them, and she would miss them when she couldn't see them for a long time.
"You will wake up soon. Wait for Doctor Lin to check your body. After you have rested for a few days, bring Ruyi here as well. You guys can study, eat and live here together. How about that?" Yin Qianhua planned a beautiful blueprint for her daughter.
Yun Ruonan nodded vigorously. She would be very happy if she could recover and live and play with the two young ladies of the Xiao family.
Tong Mingyu did not expect that Princess Jing would have such a long-term plan. Not only did she want Ping'an to stay and recuperate, she also wanted to bring Ruyi over so that the sisters could live and eat with the princess. This gave the Xiao family supreme honor, and also told others that the two young ladies of the Xiao family were the ones to be taken care of by the Jing Palace. This was a good thing that many officials could not even ask for.
"I don't know how to thank you, Princess. I'm afraid it will cause you too much trouble. I'm also afraid that they have been spoiled at home and don't know how to get along with you, Princess."
"Don't worry, Mrs. Xiao. What you worry about will not happen. Even if it does, so what? The three of them are not ignorant little kids anymore. They will definitely find a way to solve the problem by themselves. If all else fails, I can separate them, send Ping'an and Ruyi home, and take Ruonan back to the palace." Yin Qianhua observed her daughter's reaction while speaking. She saw that she nodded frequently at first, but then shook her head vigorously.
"Mrs. Xiao, did you see my daughter's reaction? She really wants to get along with Ping An and Ruyi, right, Ruonan?" Yin Qianhua asked her daughter directly.
"Yeah." Yun Ruonan's answers were often more concise than her brother's.
"Thank you, Princess, for not disdaining these two naughty girls of ours. We will send Ruyi over in a few days."
"What are you discussing? It seems like you are having a very harmonious conversation." Prince Jing walked in front, followed closely by Yun Yichen, General Xiao, and the second and fourth masters of the Xiao family, who walked into the living room one after another.
"My concubine greets the prince." Yin Qianhua is a gentle and generous princess in front of outsiders. She only reveals her feminine side in private, in front of her husband.
"Your Majesty, Prince Jing, is greeted by your humble servant." After paying her respects to the prince, Tong Mingyu wanted to leave.
"How is Ping'an? Is he awake?" General Xiao couldn't get angry with his daughter-in-law, but his dissatisfaction was still obvious.
"To answer your question, father-in-law, Ping'an is sleeping! But she has woken up before, and Doctor Lin said she will recover soon." Tong Mingyu didn't dare to look at the old man's face, and she knew without looking that it would be strange for him to look good.
"Where's the boss?" Did he hide away after seeing the truth? Did he think that if he sent his wife out, he would be spared? He was simply dreaming.
"My husband has sent Ruyi home." He is also going home to prepare and wait for your punishment.
"Hmph." Considering that King Jing's family was present, and also to save face for his daughter-in-law, General Xiao snorted coldly and said no more.
"Grandfather, are you back?" Xiao Yao called out in a hoarse voice.
"You're awake now. Have a good rest and don't waste your energy talking. Grandpa will be in to see you soon." General Xiao looked around to see if there was anything wrong with his body. He had already scared his granddaughter once, so he must pay attention to his appearance in the future.
It was the first time for King Jing and his wife to witness the grandparents and grandchildren together. General Xiao's performance just now had surprised them. What would happen next? King Jing was a little looking forward to it, but Yin Qianhua was worried about Tong Mingyu, her cousin, and her cousin's husband.
As someone who had seen many such scenes, Yun Yichen wanted to kindly remind his father and mother to be mentally prepared, because the grandparents and grandchildren would definitely continue to give them surprises, and those who could not bear it would be better not to watch.
"Father, can I go in with you to check on Ping An? I'm also worried about this child." Xiao Jingtai pleaded in a low voice.
"You are not allowed to go in. If you scare Ping An again, who will be responsible? It won't be too late to visit Ping An when your injury is healed."
"No!" If a scar was left on his face, would he have to hide from his niece for the rest of his life? When Xiao Jingtai saw his father taking a step forward, he stopped talking and just followed behind him.
"I'm asking you, do you have anything to do with Ping'an's injury? You were also involved in concealing this from me, right? With this performance, you still want to see Ping'an? Don't even think about it." General Xiao planned to comfort his granddaughter and then go home to deal with this group of lawless and unfilial sons. Such a big thing was hidden from him for several years, which made General Xiao angry.
If we fail to correct the family tradition and restore our prestige today, these guys will definitely cause chaos in the future!
