C71 (1/2)
It had only been three or five days since Eldest Miss was one year old, and it was Xie Jingxi's first time making such a large feast, she was unfamiliar with it, but luckily, he was not too flustered, and the two manager lady that were just beaten up earlier did not stop her immediately, but instead put in great effort in making it seem that everything was in order.
The only thing that made Xie Jingxi upset was that her mental state was in chaos. Gu Yun busied himself for a few days from time to time, but her mental state was exceptionally bad. Even he felt that his illness was not light, so he tried his best to adjust it.
The night before Eldest Miss's birthday, news suddenly came from the second room. It was that Eldest Miss was sick, Xie Jingxi had already lied down, and hastily got dressed, and called for Imperial Physician Pei to come over, ”We can only temporarily trouble you, Imperial Physician Pei. In the evening, send a clever person to invite you, this is a sudden sickness of Eldest Miss, please do not be at ease with the others.”
These few days, Xie Jingxi's mental state was not good. Every day, Young Master would instruct the whole courtyard to be careful and not disturb her at night. After being shocked by the Second Room, she probably couldn't sleep again in the middle of the night. So Ming Yu did not dare to leave her side, but since Fang Dai was there, he had to trouble her to go and ask for Imperial Physician Pei.
Eldest Miss was just a little baby, it was normal for her to be sick and have fever, but because of what happened with Big Brother, everyone was a little weak, and even a little headache would cause them to be on tenterhooks. She was born with two children, who knew if she had the same problem, Big Brother only had fever.
Xie Jingxi was also afraid of the two little kids, they were all things that suddenly happened, and even if Big Brother and Xie Jingqi's men haven't found out, who knows if they would make a move against the Eldest Miss, even if it was because it was too late at night, I can't care that much, saving someone is more important.
Xie Jingxi did not go to Gu Heng's courtyard to obstruct her eyes, as she was afraid that Xie Jingqi would go crazy again. She only busied herself in the outer courtyard, Lady Zeng went in by herself, while Marquis waited for Imperial Physician Pei in the outer courtyard.
”Father, it's good that there's a wife watching over us here. It's so late at night, why don't you go rest first?”
”If it's like this, I won't be able to sleep, so I'll just wait until Eldest Miss is fine.” Marquis looked at her, ”It's been hard on you these few days, you did well.”
”It's what a wife should do.”
”How is Gu Yun recently?”
Look at this father and son, they lived in the same courtyard as strangers, and even asked Xie Jingxi to be the messenger. ”He's still okay, it's just that sometimes she's been called over to eat, he came back a little late.”
When he thought about how Gu Yun had not returned yet, Xie Jingxi's heart was also in turmoil. Coupled with the fact that Eldest Miss's situation was uncertain, he was a little anxious, and it was so easy to get Pei Zixi to come over. The Marquis hurriedly accompanied him to Gu Heng's courtyard.
The moment Pei Zixi entered, he was stopped by Xie Jingqi, ”Imperial Physician Pei, I believe in you, quickly let us Eldest Miss see if there are any obstacles.”
Last time when she had to deal with her big brother's matter, even though she knew that Xie Jingqi was unreliable, she still had to ask him to stand guard by her side. She did not want him to say that there was someone in the house who wanted to harm Eldest Miss, so she decided to see him with her own eyes.
He didn't say anything at night, and still showed it to the Eldest Miss earnestly. Not long later, he came out, ”It's okay, don't be afraid, it's just a child's fever, no matter how normal it is, there's no need to prescribe it. I'll cool it outside her body and smoke some more herbs, and then the child will try her best not to drink any medicine.”
This sentence caused everyone to heave a sigh of relief. Countless people broke out in cold sweat tonight, and Gu Heng personally saluted Pei Zixi: ”Great kindness cannot be thanked with gratitude.”
Pei Zixi waved his hands, ”It's no big deal. A child is sick, as your parents, you all need not be too nervous, just send someone to tell me at any time if there's anything. Your Eldest Miss has a good Innate Ability, it won't cause any big problems.”
It was already close to the sea, and when she went back to her room, Gu Yun had just returned. Seeing that she was not in a good mood, Gu Yun did not say much and could only coax her to sleep.
The next day, Xie Jingxi woke up early, just in time to be with Gu Yun. Fortunately, Gu Yun was there last night, so she was able to sleep soundly, and his spirit was much better in the morning. Gu Yun was not at ease with her, so he instructed his a few times, ”You should take care of yourself.
I'm fine, don't worry about me. It might be because I've been dependent on Spirit-Sobering Medicine for a long time, so it's normal that I feel a bit uncomfortable after stopping. But you, you have to be careful, no matter how busy you are.
Gu Yun pecked her on the mouth, ”I can't today, General Sheng is going to return to the capital in a few days, so we need a few people from the Ministry of War to help us prepare the ceremony for her. At that time, we will be fine since we will have to busy ourselves for a few days, and at that time, I will accompany you well.”
What else could Xie Jingxi say? She could even think of her when she was busy, and could no longer complain. On the other hand, as for the Marquis Mansion, it was inevitable that she had to help him cover it up.
Xie Family people were the first to arrive, as they ate breakfast, they came, but they did not come in one wave, rather, they came in first as Lady Xu entered Xie Jingqi's room to look at him, not even glancing at him. The other old lady led Sixth Miss to talk to Xie Jingxi from head to toe.
”Grandmother, Big Sis, did you two bump into each other?”
Sixth Miss ran over and grabbed Xie Jingxi's arm, ”That's right, Big Sister Third Sister. Grandmother and I met Big Sister on the way, so we came over together.”
