Xi Jin reached out to take it with calm eyes, but pretended to accidentally tip over the medicine bowl and it fell onto the bed.
The bright red children and grandsons instantly turned dark red, as if they were stained with blood.
"Ah." Ruoru exclaimed, and his face suddenly turned pale.
Xi Jin is proficient in pharmacology, and one look at the color revealed that this bowl of medicine was valuable enough to cover an average person's annual expenses. This shows how much hope Old Madam Xie has for her heir. No wonder Ruoru is so nervous.
"Miss, are you okay?" Ping'er hurriedly lifted the wet brocade quilt for her, helped her stand up, and looked at her nervously.
"It's okay." Xi Jin glanced at Ruoru who was kneeling on the ground and said calmly, "It's okay, get up."
"The old lady has arrived -" At this time, an announcement came from the door.
I saw an old lady in luxurious clothes coming in from the door, with an eight-treasure hairpin stuck in her graying bun, and her whole body exuded indescribable nobility.
Mrs. Xie, surrounded by the two nuns, walked quickly towards Mu Xijin.
"This slave deserves to be punished, please punish me." When Ruoru saw Mrs. Xie coming in, she suddenly slapped her face several times, "It's all my fault for being careless."
Xi Jin looked at Ruruo's self-reproaching and fearful look, and felt something in her heart.
It seems that Xie's Mansion is no easier than Xiang's Mansion.
A maid wanted to give her a blow as soon as she came up. She had just asked her to get up, but she still had to act like she was unwilling to let him go.
When Xi Jin saw Mrs. Xie approaching immediately, she suddenly stood up and stepped on the medicine bowl on the ground. She staggered and fell to the ground.
"Ah." Mrs. Xie looked panicked, and without caring about her manners, she quickly stepped forward to support Xi Jin: "Why did you get out of bed? Didn't I tell you to lie down?"
Anyone who knows something about love between men and women will know what the old lady meant by this, and Xi Jin blushed with embarrassment.
"Miss Ruoru just knocked over the medicine bowl and blamed herself too much. She refused to get up no matter what Jin'er said. Jin'er just wanted to get out of bed and help her up, but she didn't want to clean up the medicine bowl in time and almost dropped it." He said with deep meaning, "Grandma, please don't blame Miss Ruoru."
When Ruoru heard this, his heart sank heavily, and he thought: It seems that he has underestimated this young lady. He thought that as a bride, she would be timid and at a loss when encountering the situation just now, but she didn't expect that she would be at a loss. In a word, he puts all the responsibility on himself, but makes others see him as being dignified and gentle.
"Okay, listen to grandson-in-law." Mrs. Xie patted Xi Jin's hand, helped her sit down on the bed, and said to Ruoru in a cold voice, "If you don't put this away, go get a bowl of tonics. "
"Yes, slave, go now." Ruoru stood up and walked out, but his eyes lingered on the wedding candle of the new house for a moment, and the unwillingness and grievance flashed in his eyes.
"All of you, please stand down." Mrs. Xie waved away everyone.
"Yes." Everyone responded and filed out.
Ping'er glanced at Xi Jin before retreating, and after getting Xi Jin's hint, she retreated silently.
"Jin'er, you have just married into our Xie family. There are many things you don't know yet. Why don't I explain it to you now?"
"Yes, granddaughter-in-law, I would like to listen to my grandmother's teachings." There is indeed a lot that Xi Jin does not know about the Xie Mansion.
"You also know that Luo'er will be executed in a few days." Mrs. Xie couldn't help but choke as she spoke.
Xi Jin took the handkerchief on the side and wiped the tears from the corners of the old lady's eyes.
Mrs. Xie managed a smile, stroked Xi Jin's hand and said, "The imperial court has issued an order. After Luo'er's execution, we will move out of the current mansion. Now all the property in the mansion has been confiscated, leaving Some of it is also the dowry of Luo Er and her mother, and the Xie Mansion is now only an empty shell."
"But don't be afraid. I still have a place outside the city. Zhuangzi will definitely not leave you without a place to stay." The old lady stroked the hair in front of Xi Jin's forehead and asked kindly, "I am getting older. Next time Everything in the Xie Mansion will be handed over to you sooner or later."
"Jin'er is young, and there are many things that the old lady needs to mention more about." Xi Jin said humbly. She vaguely felt that the old lady seemed to have some final instructions.
"I believe you, a capable mistress like your aunt, will definitely train a good daughter." The old lady stared at Xi Jin and nodded with satisfaction.
"Do you know my aunt?" Hearing Mrs. Xie talk about her aunt, Xi Jin couldn't help but feel warm in her heart.
My aunt passed away many years ago, and now few people remember her.
"Luyang Wei family, a master of medicine, how could my grandmother not know about it?" the old lady said kindly, "Speaking of which, when Luo'er was in her mother's womb, she almost had an abortion, but it was your grandfather who cured her."
"My grandfather's medical skills have always been praised by others." Xi Jin praised without humility.
Although she was not born to her biological mother, her grandfather always treated her very well, and all the medical science she knew was taught by her grandfather himself.
It's a pity that after my aunt's mother passed away, my grandfather blamed himself for not saving his aunt's life, so he went into hiding. Now even the people of the Wei clan don't know where his grandfather is.
"It seems that you and Luo'er have a close relationship. I just hope..." the old lady said, her eyes falling on Xi Jin's belly, "I will ask Ruoru to bring you a bowl of medicine later. Please take care of yourself." It will nourish the body.”
Xi Jin's heart suddenly felt heavy as he listened. What would the old lady think if she knew that she and Xie Luo were not in the same room at all?
"Miss, your suspicion is correct." Not long after the old lady left, Ping'er cautiously returned to the room, "There is indeed something wrong with Ruoruo."
"She is definitely not an ordinary maid." A deep meaning flashed in Xi Jin's clear eyes, "And she seems to be a little hostile to me."
"Yes, I have just found out that she is Master Xie's maid." Ping'er said, feeling a little angry and stopped calling her, "Since Master Xie already has a maid, why bother to involve him? Miss."
"Ping'er, be careful what you say." Xi Jin secretly sat in front of the window, "No matter what the Xie family does, I chose this path myself."
"Miss, I still don't understand why you did this. The Xie Mansion has collapsed. After Master Xie is executed, we will move out of the capital and live in some shabby village. Why are you bothering me, Miss?"
"You will understand in the future." Xi Jin opened the exquisitely carved window and looked out at the white snow in the sky. His expression slowly became solemn, "Is there any news from Yazhou?"
Since receiving the bad news from Yazhou, Xi Jin has never had a peaceful sleep except last night.
These days, she kept asking Yinzi to send people to check for news about Yazhou, hoping to get some news about him, even if it was only good to recover his body, but she still found nothing.
Shangguan Ba seemed to have disappeared from this world out of thin air.
The rebellion of Prince Ning that shocked both the government and the public two years ago led to the execution of everyone in Prince Ning's palace.
Only the son of King Ning, Shangguan Ba, was away fighting in the Northwest Army when his father rebelled. The Holy Emperor said that he was "promising at a young age but has little merit and fame", so he was exiled to serve in the Yazhou Army, but he was also unable to return for life. Jing’s fate.
In the past two years, because of the grace of Xi Jin's aunt, the concubine Chen in the palace, Xi Jin had been able to exchange letters with Shangguan Bao.
Xi Jin knew that he worked very hard in Yazhou, and also knew that although he was a sinner, he had repeatedly achieved military exploits. Maybe one day the emperor would show mercy and he would hope to return to the capital.
Xi Jin secretly planned everything, just hoping that one day he could come back and get together.
Just when Shangguan Bao wrote to her that the court intended to absolve him of his guilt, news came from Yazhou that Shangguan Bao, the son of Prince Ning, had been assassinated.
"Miss, we have tried our best. I am afraid that the Yazhou officials have buried their conscience and gave up searching for clues long ago."
"No, it won't happen." How could she believe that he, who was once suave, handsome and handsome, would end up dying in a foreign land? No, definitely not...
Xi Jin became more and more determined. No matter what, she would find a way to go to Yazhou after everything settled.
Now that she has gotten rid of the shackles of her status as a boudoir lady, if it is true as the old lady said, when she gets to Zhuangzi, few people will be able to restrain her!
