"At least, I have never harmed you." His voice was so low that Xie Wanyu didn't even hear what he said.
When Xie Wanyu returned to Qiran Courtyard, she saw Xiao Zhi sitting on the swing.
"Mother." As soon as he saw Xie Wanyu, he immediately stepped forward with a smile, which was different from Xiao Mingxuan's alienation.
"Why is it so early today?" Xie Wanyu asked.
Xiao Zhi took Xie Wanyu's hand and said, "My husband said that I have made great progress, so he asked me to come back early."
"It seems that you have been working hard these days." Xie Wanyu smiled and pulled him into the room, "Are you hungry? I'll ask the kitchen to make something to eat."
Because of the poisoning, Xie Wanyu would never eat food from the big kitchen.
Basically I eat in the small kitchen.
Xiao Zhi was growing tall, and because he was so active, he got hungry quickly. "Mother, my son has been hungry for a long time. Grandma He said that the kitchen has made new snacks."
"Come here, bring the snacks from the kitchen." Xie Wanyu immediately ordered people to do it.
After a while, two plates of steaming snacks were served.
Although Xiao Zhi was very hungry, he still knew the rules. He only picked up his chopsticks when he saw Xie Wanyu picking up the rice bowl and eating.
Sweet and glutinous snacks are very suitable for children, so Xiao Zhi ate a lot of them.
After finishing the snacks, Grandma He came in.
She has been taking care of Zhu Fang these days, so her old face always looks tired.
"Is Zhufang sleeping?" Xie Wanyu asked.
"I went to bed. The wound hurt a lot these past few days, so I took medicine before I went to sleep." Grandma He sighed, "It was not easy. Fortunately, I survived."
Xie Wanyu nodded, fortunately she survived.
If Zhufang cannot survive, Xie Wanyu will make Xue Xuening pay for it with her life.
Grandma He sat on the embroidery pier and began to sew the shoes that had not yet been sewn for Zhu Fang.
Xie Wanyu put the snack next to her and said, "Eat something. You've made yourself thin by taking care of Zhufang day and night."
She still felt very sorry for her wet nurse.
Aunt He touched her cheek and smiled, "Have you lost weight?"
"How can you not lose weight if you stay here?" Xiao Zhi interrupted and said, "Mother, when can we go back." He also liked the life in Panyun Mountain.
Xie Wanyu rubbed his head and said, "In a few days, when Zhu Fang's health is better, we will go back."
"That's right. Sister Zhufang's body has been tortured like that. She must take good care of herself. Otherwise, how can she bear such a run." Xiao Zhi said very sensibly.
Nanny He and Xie Wanyu both looked at him and laughed.
A few days later, it had been seven or eight days since Xiao Jing left home. Mrs. Xiao also estimated that Xiao Jing should be halfway there.
Although he was very reluctant to leave, he came back anyway, and it was better to see it than not to see it.
Unexpectedly, I received a letter from Xiao Jing in the afternoon.
Xie Wanyu didn't know these things. The weather was getting hotter and hotter. She kept fanning herself with a fan, thinking that if she were in Panyun Mountain at this time, it would definitely not be so hot.
At this time, Nanny He came in with an ice basin and placed it on the table next to Xie Wanyu.
As soon as the ice basin arrived, Xie Wanyu suddenly felt much cooler.
In the city of Kyoto, wealthy families will have large cellars for storing ice, which is perfect for relieving the heat in the summer. Naturally, the Hou Mansion also has such a cellar.
"Put a piece in Zhufang's room. It will be cooler and good for her wounds." Xie Wanyu said.
Grandma He smiled and nodded, "Now her wound is almost scabbing, and she is itching terribly every day, so I can only use ice cubes to apply it to her."
"We'll go to Panyun Mountain in another two days." Xie Wanyu decided when she heard that Zhufang's wound was about to scab.
Who would have thought that at this time, a servant would send a message that Nanny Feng had come to send a message asking Xie Wanyu to go to Tai'antang.
Xie Wanyu couldn't help but frown.
Aunt He was also a little puzzled, "It's such a hot day, if there is anything that I have to do, Madam must go there in person."
It was noon at this time, and the sun was frighteningly bright. Xie Wanyu felt that if she walked to Tai'an Hall like this, she would probably be able to burn off a layer of skin. Although she was very reluctant to move, she also knew that Mrs. Xiao would not come to her if she had nothing to do. .
I can only bite the bullet and go out.
Aunt He also followed, and she specially held an umbrella for Xie Wanyu.
After walking halfway, Xie Wanyu asked Aunt He to go back. After much deliberation, she still felt uneasy about Zhufang being alone at home.
Aunt He knew Xie Wanyu's worries and agreed.
So Xie Wanyu went to Tai'antang holding an umbrella by herself.
Originally, Tai'an Hall was the best room in the entire Hou Mansion, warm in winter and cool in summer. But for some reason, Mrs. Xiao didn't like the bright weather, so she covered the window lattice with thick window paper. In this way, the whole room looked brighter. All became very dark.
"Grandma." Xie Wanyu nodded and knelt down.
"Sit down." After Mrs. Xiao said this, she waved her hand.
Aunt Feng put the tea in Xie Wanyu's hand and left with the group of little girls. Mrs. Xiao and Xie Wanyu were the only ones left in the room.
"Grandma, what happened?" Xie Wanyu asked.
Mrs. Xiao nodded, "Jing'er wrote a letter, saying that he was assassinated twice on the way back. Now he can't move even an inch. But if he hasn't returned to Northern Xinjiang by the end of the day, the emperor will probably blame him."
Although the expression on Xie Wanyu's face showed surprise, she was very calm because she knew that this was done by Tai Shuqi.
I didn't expect that Tai Shuqi could do this, but whenever she thought of Xiao Jing's difficult situation, Xie Wanyu felt inexplicably good.
But she didn't show it on her face, "Why is there still such a thing? What can I do?" Xie Wanyu sighed pretending to be melancholy.
Mrs. Xiao also shook her head, "Now, I don't know what to do." After a pause, she said, "How about you take some money and hire two escort agencies to help?"
If they were ordinary mountain bandits, Xiao Jing could still deal with them.
He has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and he has some moral skills. Tai Shuqi must have sent some trained people to stop Xiao Jing.
After hearing what Mrs. Xiao said, Xie Wanyu did not rush to answer. Instead, she picked up the tea cup and took two sips of tea before speaking slowly, "Grandma, the problem now is not the escort agency's business. Now we have to let Mr. Hou figure it out. Who are those people?"
Mrs. Xiao's face sank slightly, and then she said quietly, "Those people are from King Qin."
"Prince Qin?" Xie Wanyu saw Mrs. Xiao's calm expression, "Did Xiao Jing tell you that?"
"Of course, he recognized those people as soon as they appeared, but he couldn't think of any way in which he had offended King Qin." Mrs. Xiao looked at Xie Wanyu with a sinister look, "Jing'er said that you have some friendship with King Qin, so I want to I want you to talk to King Qin and see if you can help me, or show mercy."
"Grandma, please stop joking. How can I, a woman, be familiar with the King of Qin?"
