Chapter 4 Illness
  Xiao Tingyun leaned against the old lady and said, "Grandma, don't be angry. My second sister has always been quick-tongued and soft-hearted. She knows what's appropriate."

The old lady pays great attention to propriety, and Xiao Tingyun certainly knows how to calm her anger.

Madam Li couldn't help but admire her. No wonder her father-in-law valued Xiao Tingyun so much. Even she had to admire her niece's insight into people.

Looking at his daughter-in-law Zhang Minqiu, although she has a good personality, she is a little too dull.

Ever since I entered Shouhuatang, except for the two sentences the old lady asked me at the beginning, I didn't even say a few words anymore, and all I could do was giggle.

Zhang Minqiu noticed her mother's sudden unhappiness and thought she was feeling unwell. She quietly approached and asked, "Is mother feeling unwell?"

After hearing this, Mr. Li paused, and then sighed inwardly: That's all, stupid people have stupid blessings. Although they didn't find the point, knowing how to care about themselves is considered an advantage.

Ms. Li smiled and shook her head, "It's okay, just take care of yourself."

Zhang Minqiu nodded shyly and touched his belly, his eyes full of tenderness.

Everyone said the same thing, and Mrs. Xiao sent everyone away.

Mrs. Song asked Shen Lan to go back and prepare things, and prepare to go to Guanghua Temple in three days.

"Yes, mother."

Xiao Tingyun teased her sister-in-law and said, "Sister-in-law needs to talk to my eldest brother carefully this time and ask him to bring less business with him, so that my sister-in-law won't come to me every once in a while to talk to me and say that my eldest brother is busy with work."

Shen Lan blushed at Xiao Tingyun's teasing and glared at her, "Girl, you really don't have any shame."

It happened that Brother An came and said, "No shame~"

This made Song Wanrou and Shen Lan hide their lips in a smile, and even the girls behind them were very happy.

Xiao Tingyun didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She scolded her nephew with a straight face, "Nonsense, it's your father who is not ashamed!"

"Dad, you're not ashamed!" An Ge'er rolled his eyes and imitated the words very politely. The atmosphere at the moment did not allow him to change his words.

Shen Lan couldn't laugh anymore.

Xiao Tingyun patted Brother An's head in approval, and praised him, "You're so good. Remember to tell your father when he comes back!"

"Ayun!" Shen Lan said angrily.

"A Lan, don't argue with this girl, lest she come up with a bunch of weird theories." Mrs. Song stood at Shen Lan this time and glanced at Xiao Tingyun.

Shen Lan smiled and thanked her, "Thank you, mother, for upholding justice for me."

Xiao Tingyun had a bitter look on her face and sighed, "Alas...it's unreasonable..."

"Alas..." Xiao Ji'an imitated pouting and frowning together.

"Hahahahahaha..."

"What happy things can you tell us to make us happy?" A cheerful male voice came from outside the door.

"Father and eldest brother are here!" Xiao Tingyun joked at Shen Lan.

Mrs. Song lightly tapped Xiao Tingyun's forehead and said helplessly, "Be honest."

Walking towards them were the second master of the Xiao family, Xiao Huanshan, and the eldest master of the Xiao family, Xiao Heming.

"Father, big brother!"

"Father!"

When Xiao Tingyun and Shen Lan met Xiao Huanshan, they heard Xiao Ji'an's eyes light up, he hugged Xiao Huanshan's lap, and happily called, "Grandpa!"

Xiao Huanshan picked him up and said, "Hey!"

Xiao Heming was about to take his son's hand, but he took it back awkwardly.

Brat!
  Snorted coldly!
  Xiao Tingyun curled her lips and snickered. When Xiao Heming noticed it, she couldn't help but touch her forehead, and her image was gone...

"We were talking about going to Guanghua Temple in three days. Why did you come back so early today?" Mrs. Song asked with a smile.

Although Mrs. Xiao was born as a military general, only the eldest son followed his father's path and took up military positions in the court, becoming a third-rank general of the army.

The second son, Xiao Huanshan, has been interested in literature since he was a child. He was once a prostitute in the imperial examination, and now he is serving as the left minister of the household department.

Although Xiao Huanlin was also an official in the imperial examination, he was just at the end of the second grade, so he was sent to Qingzhou as an official. It has been five years since then, and he was promoted to Qingzhou magistrate last year.

The grandson of the Xiao family, Xiao Heming, entered the Imperial Academy as the top scholar in high school the year before last.

Xiao Hetian's academic qualifications were mediocre, but he had some talent in martial arts, so his father threw him into the Imperial Army for training.

The youngest Xiao Hezhou is preparing for the provincial examination at Baiyue Academy next year. "Come back to my father to discuss some matters." Xiao Huanshan explained to his wife in a gentle manner.

Ms. Song nodded, "Then go ahead, An'er. Come to grandma, and grandma will take you to have some snacks."

After hearing this, An'er obediently got off her grandfather's body and headed towards Song without even looking at her father.

The three of them went ahead and waited until the shadows of their father and mother disappeared.

Xiao Tingyun teased her eldest brother without mercy, "Brother, it seems that my father, the most handsome man, is more popular than you, the number one scholar. As expected, Brother An is still interested in sex. I don't know who he is like?"

Xiao Heming was a little helpless at first, but when he heard her say that his son had become interested in sex, he immediately thought of something bad.

"What did this child do again?" He asked his wife Shen Lan hurriedly.

Before Shen Lan could answer, Xiao Tingyun asked nonchalantly, "Again? Oh~~"

The tone of voice was ambiguous and full of meaning, which immediately made Shen Lan blush. Shen Lan glared at Xiao Heming with anger.

They all know that my sister-in-law is thoughtful, so why does her husband still talk so senselessly?
  "You!" Xiao Heming's face was stern, wanting to teach Xiao Tingyun a lesson.

"I don't know anything..." Xiao Tingyun quickly ran away with her two girls.

Nonsense, why don't you run away and wait for the big brother to come and teach her a lesson?

"Hey..." Xiao Heming wanted to teach him a lesson but couldn't help but tell him, "Slow down!"

"This girl..." Xiao Heming couldn't help laughing when he saw that the pace was getting faster and faster.

Xiao Tingyun brought the girl back to Tingyu Tower. As soon as he sat down, he couldn't hold back a cry of pain. His heart ached before, so he brought them back immediately.

His face turned pale almost instantly.

Luzhi and Lanzhi were frightened. Luzhi quickly asked Lanzhi to get the medicine, "Quick, go get the pills!"

Lanzhi quickly took out a porcelain box from the jewelry box, "Miss, here are the pills!"

Although she was frightened, she was not disorganized. Over the years, she had known that the young lady's body had been uncomfortable from time to time, and she had not had an attack for a long time, so she became a little careless.

Xiao Tingyun took out a piece of tea handed to her by a green branch and took a sip. The bitter medicine swept through her mouth.

She was so bitter that her brows were squeezed together, and she took several mouthfuls to wash away the smell.

This pill is a prescription from a famous doctor in the south of the Yangtze River. It is made from more than a dozen precious medicinal materials. One pill costs a hundred taels of silver.

Xiao Tingyun also wanted to lament that her life was miserable. With such a broken body, there was no big danger. There were no other bad things except fever and heart cramps from time to time.

However, this heart throbbing pain comes from me, and it should have its own properties. After all, without taking medicine, it might just hurt for half an hour and be fine.

All the doctors had seen her, but they only said that she had an irregular heartbeat and was weak due to premature birth during the delivery. Nothing else was found.

If you take good care of your generals, they will not be the same as ordinary people, but your life will be guaranteed to be seven to eight.

As a result, the two girls in front of me were racing each other with frowns on their faces.

"Let the doctor come here!" Luzhi looked at it and felt worried. The doctor had to check his pulse.

Xiao Tingyun stopped her again and again, waving her hands, her heart already calming down, "No need."

Xiao Tingyun, who had regained her composure, comforted her, "Don't go to the doctor. This isn't the first time you've seen this problem. Don't worry about spreading any more gossip."

As soon as he came out of Shouhua Hall, he asked the doctor. People who didn't know about it thought it was Xiao Tingqi who was angry.

She didn't have a good impression of Xiao Tingqi, but she didn't want to ruin his reputation for no reason.

Harmony between the three houses is what grandparents want to see, and the most taboo thing is internal strife.

Lu Zhi was more steady, and he immediately understood the key, and pursed his lips in silence.

"Okay, go and help me write down what I need to prepare tomorrow, so that I won't be in a hurry." Xiao Tingyun ordered Luzhi and Lanzhi.

"Yes."

"I'm going to take a rest. Remember to ask the girls in the courtyard to keep their voices down. Mother will send someone over to tell me to take a rest." Xiao Tingyun looked tired and rubbed his brows.

"Yes, miss, rest in peace." After Luzhi said that, he asked Lanzhi to make the bed.

Luzhi helped Xiao Tingyun undress, remove the beaded ring, and then washed his face and hands.

After Xiao Tingyun was lying down, he and Lan Zhi walked out softly.
