Sir, I just want to be a salted fish

Chapter 127 Injured
It was rare for the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to get along as well as they did today. They couldn't help but drink a few more drinks. When they left for dinner in the afternoon, their steps were a little sloppy.

Zhichun and Zhixia helped Tang Bingxuan back to the yard, and quickly asked Zhidong to cook a bowl of sobering soup, otherwise she would have a headache tomorrow.

After washing her face and drinking the hangover soup, Tang Bingxuan's mind became clear for a moment. She turned her head and asked Zhichun, "Is the Third Master back?"

Zhixia made a bed for Tang Bingxuan to rest. Zhichun helped Tang Bingxuan lie down on the bed, "My uncle hasn't come back yet."

It was almost evening at this time. Jiang Shunian had been out all day and didn't come back without saying hello. He didn't know if there was something urgent.

Shaking her groggy head, Tang Bingxuan told Zhichun, "I'll take a nap. If the third master comes back, remember to wake me up."

"Yes, ma'am."

It was already midnight when Tang Bingxuan woke up. When she opened her eyes, everything was pitch black. She reached out and touched the bed next to her. It was cold, but Jiang Shunian still hadn't come back.

With a dry mouth and no desire to move, Tang Bingxuan shook the rope bell beside the bed. Not long after, Zhixia entered the inner room with an oil lamp.

Zhixia lifted up Tang Bingxuan's bed curtain, bowed and asked Tang Bingxuan softly, "Miss, are you thirsty and want some water?"

Tang Bingxuan nodded and remained silent until she drank a glass of warm water to relieve the dryness of her throat, then whispered: "Is Third Master back?"

Zhixia put the cup back on the tea tray and replied softly to her lady, "Jiang Qi sent word that my uncle had something to do and was staying in the study. The servants saw that you were sleeping soundly, so they didn't wake you up."

Since you have returned home, why are you resting in the outer courtyard? "When did the third master come back?"

"I came back soon after holding the lamp."

It's not too late to come back. Is there really something important to do that I don't even bother to go back to the yard to rest.

Tang Bingxuan's mind was not clear yet, so she asked a few questions about Jiang Shunian. It would be nice to know that he was back, and then fell asleep again.

The next day, Tang Bingxuan, who felt refreshed and tidied up, felt that the young woman in the bronze mirror was radiant, and sent someone to notify Jiang Shunian to come back and have breakfast together.

The little maid who was sent to call for someone came back and reported, "Go back to the Third Madam. The Third Master will be rushing out soon, so he will have breakfast directly in the outer courtyard and ask the Madam not to wait for him."

Haven't yesterday's urgent matters been taken care of yet?

Tang Bingxuan asked the little girl, "Did the Third Master tell you personally?"

The little girl shook her head and said seriously: "Brother Jiang Ming told me to tell this slave to come back and tell the lady."

In this case, Tang Bingxuan didn't take it seriously. Although the woman wanted to please her own appearance, she was in a good mood when she looked at her beautiful and well-groomed face.

There was no one to eat with her, so Tang Bingxuan simply had some rice porridge and side dishes, and then went to the main courtyard to visit her mother-in-law Qiao, who was the one who drank the most yesterday.

Tang Bingxuan looked at her mother-in-law Qiao, "Mom, are you still feeling well today?"

Although her mother-in-law, Mrs. Qiao, was well-maintained, she was still a forty-year-old woman. Tang Bingxuan was worried that her mother-in-law was not feeling well and that she would not tell her the truth.

Mrs. Qiao was overjoyed to see her daughter-in-law dressed up beautifully today, "It's okay, my mother has a good drinking capacity. You are young, but you have a headache?"

"My daughter-in-law drank hangover soup when she got home. She had a dry mouth in the middle of the night and drank a glass of warm water. Then she slept until dawn. She didn't have a headache."

Tang Bingxuan felt relieved when she saw that her mother-in-law Qiao did not seem to have anything wrong with her. She also urged her mother-in-law to drink a bowl of health soup she brought.

"Xuan'er is dressed up and going out today?"

When Mrs. Qiao saw that Tang Bingxuan was not as neatly dressed as usual today, she thought that if she was going out, she would come to say something to her. "No, it's just that my daughter-in-law was in a good mood today and suddenly wanted to dress herself up."

Tang Bingxuan felt that she had not seen Jiang Shunian for more than a day, so she planned to dress up so that Jiang Shunian would be surprised when he saw her when he had breakfast. Unexpectedly, he had no time to watch and went out again because of something else.

Qiao touched Tang Bingxuan's little nose with her index finger, "You little lazy cat, you are at the age of a flower. It is the right thing to be coquettish and pretty. Don't dress up all day long."

Mother-in-law Qiao had long figured out Tang Bingxuan's temperament and never paid attention to her. Today she only mentioned it after seeing Tang Bingxuan dress up specially.

"Shunnian went out again?"

Generally, if Jiang Shunian is at home and does not go out, when Tang Bingxuan comes to the main courtyard, Jiang Shunian will come with her. The couple is basically inseparable in the house.

"I said I had an appointment and left in a hurry."

With her son away, Mrs. Qiao could occupy her daughter-in-law alone, and warmly invited Tang Bingxuan, "Then we and I can have lunch together."

After not seeing Jiang Shunian for more than a day, Tang Bingxuan didn't know what he was busy with. Since he didn't have time to accompany her, she would just stay with her mother-in-law.

Tang Bingxuan happily agreed, and did not forget to ask, "Then mother will ask the kitchen to serve chestnut chicken to my daughter-in-law at noon. My daughter-in-law likes to eat this dish recently."

The three daughters-in-law, namely Tang Bingxuan and mother-in-law Qiao, talked casually and often made small requests;
Every time she heard Tang Bingxuan's little request, Mr. Qiao would be happy to satisfy it, and she would never tire of it.

Mrs. Qiao hurriedly agreed, teasing Tang Bingxuan by the way, "Okay, I can still rely on your mouth here, mother."

...

After taking a nap, Tang Bingxuan sent people to the outer courtyard to see if Jiang Shunian had returned. The little girl came back and said that Jiang Shunian had not left the outer courtyard today.

Tang Bingxuan was a little surprised. Since Jiang Shunian didn't go out, why didn't he return to the yard?

Judging from the situation in the past two days, Jiang Shunian seemed to be avoiding her, which made Tang Bingxuan very puzzled.

The two of them had never had any quarrels or tantrums before, and everything was fine. Why did they start avoiding her?

Tang Bingxuan quickly took Zhixia to Jiang Shunian's study in the outer courtyard, and went straight into the study without letting Jiang Ming, who was guarding outside the study, to report the news.

Jiang Ming had long wanted to tell Tang Bingxuan about Jiang Shunian's injury, but Jiang Shunian strictly ordered them not to reveal a word to Tang Bingxuan;

This time Tang Bingxuan came on her own initiative, and she didn't let Jiang Ming report the news. Jiang Ming immediately surrendered without any resistance.

In the inner room of the study, Jiang Qi carefully applied medicine to Jiang Shunian, "Third Master, your injury is serious, so you should go to the inner courtyard to recuperate."

Jiang Shunian endured the pain of the wound and urged Jiang Qi to be more agile, "Hurry up and apply the medicine. Why is there so much nonsense?"

Tang Bingxuan stood outside without making a sound. She turned around and went back with an expressionless face, which shocked Jiang Ming, who was just now complacent about being a talented person.

Isn't Madam angry with Third Master?

Jiang Ming hurriedly ran into the inner room of the study, "Third Master, Madam came here just now and went back directly."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Shunian stood up anxiously and planned to chase after Tang Bingxuan. He accidentally pulled the wound that had just been treated with medicine, and the white shirt around the wound was instantly stained red with blood.

Jiang Qi and Jiang Ming were surprised at the same time: "Third Master."

Jiang Shunian sat down again with great effort, squinting his eyes sharply and staring at Jiang Ming, "Have you gone to report to Madam?"
