The Zheng Family was quite close to the palace, so Xie Jingxi decided to pay a visit to the Lady Sun s. Xie Jingxi found out about quite a few things about the palace, such as the body of the Imperial Consort Shen s.
Ever since the Fourth Prince was born, his body had never been able to recover, and recently, he was still in a worse condition. He heard that he was not able to get out of bed for a period of time, and after that, he was recuperated by the Imperial Physician Pei, which was much better than before. However, the situation was still not looking good.
Ever since Aunt Fang had a body, she had almost never stepped out of the Second Branch's courtyard. She was indeed more cautious than the Second Young Madam back then, and although she was not clear about the dirty and salty matters in the Palace, she was very good at being on guard, and she even ate and drank very carefully.
To avoid arousing suspicion, Xie Jingxi didn't ask too much, she only instructed the manor's people to take care of the situation. Just as they were about to leave, Lady Zeng suddenly had a burst of energy, and personally asked about the matters concerning the future of the family. She was probably really scared, and finally managed to get a third child of Gu Heng's group.
Marquis was also suddenly concerned. These few days, the Zhao Family had been entering and exiting the inner and outer court frequently, preparing for something to happen, making everyone in Marquis Mansion a little nervous. However, Gu Heng still did what he had to do, as if the child was not his.
Xie Jingxi had not been in too much of a rush recently, and had taken care of the matters in the house, so she was very idle. After eating lunch, she laid on the bed and squinted, while Fang Yu anxiously went outside, following Ming Yu: ”The Aunt Fang from the second courtyard has started, has Madame woken up?”
”Not yet. I'll go get her.”
Normally, Xie Jingxi would be able to hear any movement outside, but today, she was probably in a daze, so when Ming Yu came in to call her, she was stunned. When she heard that Aunt Fang had activated it, she suddenly stood up, and her vision went dark, and she almost fell back down.
Ming Yu supported her, ”Is Miss crazy? ”It's my fault for making such a big fuss, otherwise, we would have to go back later.”
Xie Jingxi concentrated, ”It's fine, let's go now.” As she walked, she instructed Fang Yu, ”Be sure to pay attention to the things that are delivered into Aunt Fang's room, especially the medicine and soup.
”I can wake up Madam. Ming Yu, take care of Madam. I'll go over first.”
”Sister Fang Yu is indeed meticulous.” Ming Yu had a very good impression of Fang Yu, ”There's a lot of things that I didn't expect her to tell me, to be even more considerate towards this lady than I am.”
Xie Jingxi did not say anything, ”Go over later and speak less, especially Yue Wen who is in the courtyard of Second Young Master, watch him more closely when you have nothing to do.”
”Oh, I know.”
When Xie Jingxi went over, Aunt Fang was already in pain, and every time she heard this voice, her scalp would go numb, and she would unconsciously think back to when Xie Jingqi was giving birth to the baby. Furthermore, it was in the same courtyard, Xie Jingxi peeked at Second Young Madam's house, and saw that her door was tightly shut, as if she had already made up her mind to not ask the Aunt Fang about it.
Seeing how Aunt Fang couldn't bear to have a brother or something bad happen to him, Lady Zeng would probably go crazy. Xie Jingxi endured the numbness in her scalp, taking care of everyone who went in and out of the house and felt that it was unfair. She thought that since the second house had children, as the father's mother, she shouldn't ask too much, what the hell was going on.
The Aunt Fang had been howling for an entire day and had not seen anyone. Luckily, the Marquis had sent people to look for someone, but they did not see him, and luckily, they were able to see him. Luckily, the birth of the Aunt Fang was smooth sailing, and when they were in a hurry, they had a brother, the Lady Zeng was overjoyed, and kept muttering to herself: ”He who is lucky is blessed, I thought today was a good day, but sure enough, I was born before the time of the child.
Xie Jingxi supported the Lady Zeng, ”Since Aunt Fang is alive, mother will go back and rest first. Tian'er, it's getting late, your health is more important, leave the rest to your wife.”
Lady Zeng rarely held out until this hour, so after her efforts just now, she was indeed a little bit tired and panicked. Thus, she gave a few instructions and was helped back to her room by Feng Jing. Coincidentally, with her departure, Gu Heng had also returned. Most likely, after Marquis said a few words to him, he turned around to take a look unwillingly.
The people in his courtyard all congratulated Gu Heng, ”Congratulations to Second Young Master for getting such a great son.”
Gu Heng raised his eyelids, and said indifferently: ”Go down and ask for your rewards.” Then, he glanced at Xie Jingxi, ”Oh, sister-in-law is still here. It's been hard on you, sister-in-law.
