Pei Chen sneered, "She is really crazy. Yesterday's incident made the Jin family lose face. Let's see how the palace will deal with it."
Xiao Yinxiu was slightly stunned, and then she inquired, "The fourth elder left early, saying that she sprained her ankle. When I returned home yesterday, Fang Hui had just given birth to a child. I was busy taking care of her and couldn't spare any time. I only sent Shuang Yue to check on her, but she was stopped by my eldest sister-in-law. Is she okay now?"
"I really don't know?"
Pei Chen asked casually, and Xiao Yinxiu sat upright and shook her head, "Of course I don't know. I asked my sister-in-law, and she just said that I sprained my ankle."
In addition, it was not easy for Zhang Fanghui to give birth to a child, so the female relatives all stayed with the mother and daughter.
Pei Chen took the hot tea handed to him by Shuang Yue and chased her to set the table. "I'm a little hungry now. Go to the kitchen and get me something to eat."
Shimotsuki bowed and stepped back.
Pei Chen looked at Xiao Yinxiu, "Last time you denied that you had ever joined forces with Jin Fuyun..." Before he finished speaking, Xiao Yinxiu became anxious, "We didn't join forces in the first place. I casually mentioned the matter of Longen Temple and someone with ulterior motives heard it. I was also punished for it. Why can't you turn it over, Prince?"
Pei Chen saw her stand up to refute and raised his hand to signal her to sit down.
"Guan Zhou was drugged by Jin Fuyun. If she hadn't been smart and knocked He Jiang unconscious, she would have climbed over the wall and escaped. She would have been rescued by the fourth brother. The consequences would have been disastrous."
Xiao Yinxiu was horrified.
"Drug? Then the fourth family's family is not..."
"It must be that Jin Fuyun was worried and limped back to Yingxue Pavilion to check on the progress, but ran into He Jiang who had just woken up... and then... this scandal happened."
Xiao Yinxiu held his chest, his face pale.
"I knew that Jin Fuyun was definitely planning to plot against the Fourth Elder's family, otherwise her maid wouldn't have come out and shouted like that, but... I never thought that there was only one step left."
When Xiao Yinxiu felt surprised, a trace of regret flashed through his heart.
Why is the Song family's luck always so good?
Thinking of this, she immediately restrained this extraordinary idea and still agreed with Pei Chen on the surface. Pei Chen did not notice any clues and only showed contempt for the Jin family.
"You should be careful with your sister-in-law these days. Don't let anything slip when you are with her."
"My husband, no matter how stupid my sister-in-law and I are, we know that family disgrace should not be made public."
As soon as he finished speaking, Pei Chen started to scold, "What family shame? What kind of family shame is this?" Xiao Yinxiu immediately covered her mouth, knowing that she had said the wrong thing, "It's my fault. I said something I didn't think of in a hurry. Don't worry, my husband. If anyone asks, just say that Guan Zhou sprained her ankle and the fourth brother took her back."
"I know you and Guan Zhou don't get along, but don't let these ridiculous words leak out."
Xiao Yinxiu nodded repeatedly to assure him.
"I was just not good at speaking. Apart from other things, the two rooms have so many girls and boys, they will definitely not tolerate such dirty water."
Pei Chen gave up after seeing that she was sensible.
"To tell you the truth, you are too deep-minded. Instead of listening to useless news through crooked ways, it is better for me to tell you everything at once. Father will also be informed of the eldest sister-in-law. In general, our mansion should be careful and not be bitten by the desperate Jin family."
Xiao Yinxiu quickly responded with a yes.
After daybreak, Xu Lingqiao and his sister walked out of the courtyard with red eyes. They first went to greet Xiao Bei and his wife. After hearing that mother and daughter were fine, Xu Lingqiao felt relieved.
Xiao Bei cupped his hands and bowed to Xu Lingqiao.
"Luckily Sister Ling Qiao is here, otherwise what happened to your sister-in-law yesterday would have been really dangerous."
Xu Ling blushed and moved aside, not daring to accept the full gift.
"Don't be so polite, fourth cousin. I'm just young and have never encountered anything. I was so flustered that I made my sister-in-law suffer a lot."
Xiao Bei smiled and said, "Giving birth is always like this. You thought of inviting Miss Hua and Miss Sun to come and correct the abnormality of the fetus in time. This is rare and precious."
Xu Lingbai was also full of regret. He had gone out for a social event yesterday, and he never expected so many things to happen when he came back in the evening.
"It's just a coincidence, but it's a good thing that my sister-in-law and my sister are safe."
Xu Lingqiao went in and visited the mother and daughter who were resting.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Fanghui was sleeping restlessly, and Xu Lingqiao, who was already moving very quietly, woke her up by talking in a low voice to the maids.
"Ling Qiao, thank you so much."
As soon as Zhang Fanghui opened her eyes, she said thank you.
Xu Lingqiao quickly walked over and took the hand she extended, "Did I wake my sister-in-law up?"
Zhang Fanghui shook her head. Her face had not yet recovered and was still pale from excessive blood loss. "But did it scare you?"
Xu Lingqiao had not yet married, and when she suddenly had an attack, Zhang Fanghui almost subconsciously sought help from Xu Lingqiao.
Aunt Li's mother and daughter are timid and afraid of trouble, and the second branch lives far away.
While the maids were still worried, Zhang Fanghui held her belly and made the final decision, "Ling Qiao is reliable, go quickly."
Sure enough, everything was arranged perfectly.
Even Xiao Bei was brought back from the academy.
Xu Lingqiao chatted with her for a while, then looked at the baby sleeping obediently beside her, said a few words to her, and then came out.
When he was about to leave, Xiao Bei chased him out.
"Is Guanzhou okay?"
When Xiao Bei rushed back, Zhang Fanghui and her daughter were safe, but he still met Doctor Sun and his family of three and Doctor Hu from the Imperial Medical Bureau.
They are all old acquaintances.
Before Xiao Bei could ask, the four of them rushed to Shaohua Garden again, and they saw that something had happened.
He wanted to say a few more words of concern, but Pei Chen and Xu Lingbai, who had been driven back, held him down and said, "Take good care of your wife and children. Shaohua Garden is fine."
Having said that, I'm still worried.
But when we sent people to ask several times, they all said there was no problem.
It was early in the morning, and when he saw the two of them dressed neatly and about to go to Shaohua Garden, he chased them out and asked them with concern.
"Don't worry, fourth cousin. It shouldn't be a problem. Doctor Sun and Doctor Hu both left yesterday. They said it was about some herbal medicine."
"Then you go and take a look first. I'll go visit you after dinner."
After bidding farewell to Xiao Bei, the Xu Lingbai siblings turned around and headed towards Shaohua Garden. Except for the close maidservant, Xiao Bei was unaware that the two siblings' expressions instantly became solemn.
When I stepped into the garden, there was no one around.
Xu Lingqiao then whispered, "I didn't sleep that night. I shouldn't have come back if I had known earlier. It would be more reassuring to stay at Shaohua Garden."
Xu Lingbai listened and comforted his sister, "Si Lang is by my side, neither you nor I can do anything, and he was poisoned like that... Believe what Doctor Hu and Doctor Sun said, he should be able to get better today."
Hearing this, Xu Lingqiao took a soft handkerchief and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.
"Why is the Jin family so against Guan Zhou?"
Xu Lingbai felt bad watching his sister cry, "We'll be at Shaohua Garden soon. I'm sure Guan Zhou will wake up. Seeing your bloodshot eyes, he'll be worried again."
"Brother, I feel bad just thinking about it."
There is no reason to bully people like this——
