The Self-cultivation of a Salted Fish Concubine

Chapter 246 No Peace

When she opened her eyes again, Dan Tao said, "Master, there are already three housekeepers waiting in the corridor. Concubine Wan has also sent someone over. They must have some news to report."

"Madame An from Concubine Jiang's courtyard is here too."

Xie Run couldn't help but sigh when he thought about how many things he had to deal with as soon as he opened his eyes.

The more this happens, the more I admire the princess.

After dealing with the affairs of several housekeepers, Xie Run finally met the maidservant beside Wan Linlang.

Suiyu: "Replying to Concubine Xie, it's not a big deal."

"It's just that a maid in the master's yard has caught a cold and has been coughing for several days. The palace doctor said that her cold is contagious and she can no longer stay in the yard."

"The master wants to send her back home to recuperate first, and then she can serve in the courtyard after some time."

These kinds of matters are decided by their respective courtyards. Once they are almost dealt with, they will report to Xie Run or Concubine Sun as a notification.

Xie Run nodded slightly, "As long as the people are settled, that's all."

"Wouldn't it be one less servant in the Wan Concubine's courtyard?"

Suiyu said respectfully, "The master only said to send him out to recuperate, and when he recovers, he will return to duty as usual. There is no need to arrange for a new person to come in."

"Okay, I understand this."

Suiyu mentioned something else, "The master wants to go to the front yard to visit the Sixth Young Master."

"After all, the master was close to Concubine Lian during his lifetime, and he also raised the Sixth Young Master for a while... The master always kept the Sixth Young Master in mind, thinking that just a glance from afar, to see that the Sixth Young Master was healthy, would be enough."

Xie Run smiled and said, "Other things are easy to talk about, but I'm afraid this one won't work."

"Concubine Sun and I can still handle the affairs of the backyard. The Sixth Young Master now lives in the front yard and is being taken care of by the prince's people."

"Concubine Wan wants to see the Sixth Young Master, but I'm afraid I'll have to go to the front yard and ask the prince for mercy."

Xie Run refused too quickly, and his words blocked Sui Yu's words.

Suiyu looked uncomfortable, but she didn't want to continue to argue.

Now that the Sixth Young Master is well-being in the front yard, Xie Run will never let Wan Linlang have contact with him again.

Prince Jing is about to leave the palace again. If something happens to the Sixth Young Master at this time, Xie Run and Concubine Sun will not be able to escape responsibility.

Therefore, Xie Run not only refused, but also secretly asked the maid to pass a letter to the old nanny who was raising the Sixth Young Master in the front yard, asking her to keep a close eye on it and not let anyone with ulterior motives take advantage of it.

After Suiyu left, Xie Runcai asked Dantao, "What's going on with the maidservant next to Concubine Wan?"

Xie Run would become suspicious if he found a blade of grass missing from Wan Linlang's yard.

This girl fell ill for no reason, and Wan Linlang wanted to send her out of the house, and even said that she would keep a place for her when she came back... It's really strange.

Those who are sent out of the house due to illness are generally not allowed to return.

Even if it came back, the original owner would not want it, fearing that it still had some disease in it.

Dan Tao said softly, "I asked the palace doctor, and that girl has indeed been ill for a long time and has been coughing."

"Originally, Concubine Wan had a separate room set up for her to live in, but as a servant, it's not a good idea to cough in the master's yard every day."

"Concubine Wan said she wanted to send her away to recuperate, but she refused, fearing she would never come back. So Concubine Wan agreed not to bring anyone else in for now and would take her back after she recovered."

Xie Run thought for a moment and said, "Send someone to keep an eye on that girl when she leaves the house."

"Since it is contagious, be careful and don't let others come into contact with it."

"Yes."

Xie Run met with Nanny An again.

Nanny An had a serious face and bowed respectfully to Xie Run.

She came up and said, "Thank you, Concubine. Last night, Concubine Jiang suddenly complained of feeling unwell and demanded to see the prince, but was stopped by someone sent by the servants."

"We guess that it was the maidservant beside her who mentioned that the prince was resting in your courtyard, which is why Concubine Jiang suddenly got so upset."

"Later, we asked the palace physician to take Concubine Jiang's pulse. Both Concubine Jiang and her unborn child are safe and sound."

Xie Run: “…”

King Jing was very busy these days. He only rested in Songfeng Garden for a few days and spent the day in the front yard or out.

Maybe he really hates Jiang Baobao.

Since Jiang Baobao became pregnant, King Jing has never visited her.

Now that Jiang Baobao is making a fuss in the middle of the night, could it be that she thinks that it was she who stopped King Jing from seeing her?

Xie Run thought about it and asked.

Nanny An said, "I heard Concubine Jiang yelling yesterday, and it seemed like that was the idea."

Xie Run was so angry that he laughed.

After all, this backyard is a man's world. If King Jing really wants to see Jiang Baobao, can she still hold King Jing's feet and not go to see him?

Jiang Baobao didn't dare to blame King Jing, and now he put all the responsibility on Xie Run.

Xie Run didn't want to be offended by this either, so he lowered his eyes and suddenly smiled.

She glanced at Dan Tao beside her and said, "Dan Tao, Concubine Jiang said she's not feeling well. Go to the pharmacy and ask the court doctor to prescribe a prescription for a healthy pregnancy. Make a few bowls and send them to Concubine Jiang."

"Tell the palace doctor that whenever Concubine Jiang complains of discomfort, he should prepare a few bowls of medicine that will be safe for the fetus."

Dan Tao lowered her head and tried hard not to laugh out loud.

After saying that, Xie Run looked at Nanny An again and said, "Please tell Concubine Jiang clearly that it is because of her long criminal record that the prince dislikes her, and that is why the prince is unwilling to see her."

"If you mention it a few more times, I'm afraid the prince will get angry."

Nanny An bowed and said, "I will definitely follow Concubine Xie's instructions."

Xie Run asked again, "Is Concubine Jiang at peace now? Has she not sent anyone to Songfeng Garden to ask for an audience with the prince?"

Jiang Baobao revealed the news of Concubine Sun's pregnancy on the day she entered the mansion, and then called Prince Jing away, just to steal the limelight from Concubine Sun.

Who knew that Prince Jing stayed in Huayu's courtyard that night, and later they all stayed in Concubine Sun's courtyard.

Because of these two incidents, Jiang Baobao hated both of them.

A few days ago, when I heard that Prince Jing was staying overnight in Concubine Sun's courtyard, I sent someone to Concubine Sun's courtyard to call her.

Concubine Sun couldn't stand it any longer, so she taught Jiang Baobao a lesson.

After that, Jiang Baobao became unusually well-behaved.

Nanny An: "Now Concubine Jiang cannot bear to hear the three words "Concubine Sun" and has forbidden the servants to mention anything related to Songfeng Garden."

Xie Run smiled and nodded: "So she came to me to make trouble?"

Nanny An sighed and didn't dare to explain anything.

"Madam, just teach Concubine Jiang Shufei some tricks. She has to do one out of every ten things she says. That's enough."

"The slaves obey."

After finishing the work, Xiao Shu came back with the maid and brought breakfast.

Xie Run also specifically reminded Dan Tao: "The prince will be leaving the capital for some time. Please go to the storehouse and select some cloth for me. I will at least sew a few spring clothes first."

Dan Tao paused, "Master, do you want to make the spring clothes yourself?"

Xiao Shu also asked, "When will the prince leave the capital? Is it too late for the master to catch up now?"

Xie Run: “…”

It was obvious that neither of them had much faith in Xie Run's skills and speed.

Dan Tao smiled and said, "How about we, the servants, cut it first, and then the master can do a few stitches. It will be fine as long as the intention is shown?"
