C57 (1/2)
When Pei Zixi encountered an emergency, he would usually not care about etiquette, and directly went into the house. Seeing Xie Jingxi around, he quickly nodded his head and did not say a word.
As the Lady Zeng was getting old, she didn't pay much attention to etiquette when she heard about it, and she didn't even need to act like the young miss and the mistress. After Pei Zixi finished cutting off their veins, she went and rummaged through the Lady Zeng's eyeballs, and after looking at the tongue moss, she finally received the handkerchief and wiped her hands.
”It's still an old problem.”
Pei Zixi's words were always concise and concise, yet Xie Jingxi did not know the inside information. Pei Zixi had finally given her some face, and purposely said a few more words, ”Marquis' Wife's heart palpitated earlier on, because it was caused by the mansion itself. The moment the elderly worked hard, it was extremely easy to offend, and this time, it could be considered to be more dangerous.
So Lady Zeng had an old illness, and what she said was true. There were very few women who did not change their minds and had been schemed against, which one was not cautious and cautious with every step and was likely to fall sick. It was just that she had never known about Lady Zeng's illness.
”Thank you, Imperial Physician Pei.”
Pei Zixi nodded at her. After last time, he had a good impression of this Third Miss, Xie Family, so his tone was rather casual. He glanced at the white wine on the table and asked: ”Did you use it to cool it down?”
Xie Jingxi nodded her head, ”In such a rush, I do not know how severe the disease is, so I decided to lower the temperature first, and when my wife drank the prescription at home, I saw that it was Han Xie's medicine, but it went the other way, instead it got more warm, I did not dare casually use it, so I used it.”
Pei Zixi nodded his head in praise: ”You did well, if you miss that by just a little more, it would be broken.”
Pei Zixi sat down and began to write a prescription, ”This recipe is radiating heat, it needs to be boiled immediately so don't use her normal prescription. I'll give her the next recipe and I'll come over after three months.” He gave the first recipe to Fengqin, then said, ”However, I have to remind you guys that with Marquis' Wife's current state, if you work hard enough, there's no need to prescribe the rest of the recipes.”
Xie Jingxi's heart skipped a beat. This meant that Lady Zeng would have to focus on resting in the future. Then, the matters of the family …
It really happened one thing after another, just at this moment, Lady Zeng became sick, she and Gu Yun had nowhere to run, did they really have to take over Marquis Mansion?
”Especially Dong Ri, the season where one has to pay the most attention to. When the weather is still warm in a few days, be careful to keep it warm.”
”You have troubled yourself, Ming Yu. Go and bring a cup of hot tea to the Imperial Physician Pei to moisturize his throat.”
Pei Zixi blew dry the prescription to Xie Jingxi, and said, ”Madam just entered the door, as usual, I should have asked for a safe meridian. Since we met today, I might as well take another look.”
Xie Jingxi knew that the Imperial Physician Pei had given him face, so she passed the wrist over. Pei Zixi lightly tapped her wrist a few times, and then retracted his hand, ”My wife's background is not bad, and is a little healthier than most young ladies.
Xie Jingxi did not think too much into it. Imperial Physician Pei had always had good intentions, and knew that these girls in the backyard did not have any control over their bodies, that was also a hint, but even if he knew, it probably wouldn't change anything. This was a place where one could be engulfed if one was careless.
Thank you, Imperial Physician Pei, for your advice.
Pei Zixi looked at her meaningfully, ”Then I will take my leave.”
Xie Jingxi personally saw Pei Zixi out before she turned around and returned. She sat in the outer room and waited for Lady Zeng to finish her medicine and go back to normal. The first two people to report that the Marquis had returned, upon hearing that the Lady Zeng was sick, they hurried over.
”Father, uncle.”
Xie Jingxi stood up, the Marquis nodded his head, ”It's been hard on you, is your mother alright?”
”Imperial Physician Pei came here to prescribe medicine, and the fever has subsided.”
”I'll go take a look.” Marquis took a few steps before turning around, ”Eldest son's wife, you stay for a while. I have something to say to you.”
Xie Jingxi was startled, ”Yes, father.”
Originally, she wanted to return to Marquis as well, but after Marquis entered her room, Gu Heng and Xie Jingxi were left outside, looking at each other speechlessly, feeling rather awkward.
Gu Heng glanced at her with his fists clenched, his throat was a little dry, ”If we're not here, it would be hard on you to stay at home.”
”You're too polite, Uncle.” You're too courteous.
Xie Jingqi was not one to bother others, but Gu Heng felt extremely apologetic in his heart. On one hand, he knew that his father had always wanted her to be his housekeeper, and on the other hand, he felt a little selfish. This was because he had been taking care of the matters at the Marquis Mansion Outer Academy for the past few years.
After a while, the Marquis came out, and said to Gu Heng: ”Go take a look at your mother.” Then, he said to Xie Jingxi, ”Come out with me for a while.”
Xie Jingxi obediently followed behind Marquis. She didn't go to any other places but simply stood outside and hugged Xia Nanyi. The sky had already begun to turn cold as soon as she saw the color of the sky, and Xie Jingxi shivered for a bit.
”Are you used to living at home?”
”Father is worried. My wife eats well and lives well at home. All of them are pretty good.”
The Marquis nodded his head, ”That's good, if there is anything that's lacking, just say it, since that Gu Yun child wants to marry you into his clan, he will not treat you unfairly, you have a good personality, if there is anything you need, advise him.”
Marquis had hinted that he wanted to coordinate with Gu Yun and his family. There was nothing she could say, so she could only agree. ”I have already heard about your mother's matter from Feng Jing, you have done very well, being able to handle matters easily is a good job, now that your mother needs to rest and recuperate, I can only trust you to take care of things at home, so don't push things any further, now that Gu Yun has also entered the Ministry of War, I am afraid that I cannot leave for a while, with you taking care of things for him, I am relieved.”
In the end, Marquis was a person who had seen much of the world. He looked at the courteous and courteous tone, but in reality, she did not have the slightest leeway to reject. First, he used Lady Zeng's illness as a reason for her to have no choice but to accept it. As long as Gu Yun remained in the field, they would not be able to leave the protection of the Marquis Mansion. After all, with Gu Yun being in the starting point, without any face from the Marquis Mansion, it would be hard for him to escape.
Xie Jingxi knew that she wouldn't be able to run away from this day, but she didn't think that things would happen so quickly either. In truth, what Marquis said wasn't wrong, whether it was Gu Yun or her, they couldn't leave the Marquis Mansion right now, so she simply didn't have any leeway to avoid it.
