After passing through the book, the vicious female supporting character and the heroine work togethe

Xu Rui also came back at this time and sat in the hall with Xu Muhua, one on the left and one on the right. Xu Jinyu sat next to her. Only Xu Nan had not returned from school yet.

The three of them glanced inside from time to time, not knowing what the result would be.

It took a while for the imperial physician to come out. General Xu walked in front, and Xu's mother lagged behind a little.

"Doctor, how is my grandmother?"

The imperial physician considered carefully and said, "The old lady is old. She caught a cold before, which was not a big deal. But she has not fully recovered and has a cold. In addition, the old lady was injured when she was young, which left some hidden dangers. Now that she is old, even a simple cold can cause big problems."

In other words, he first caught a cold, and then developed a cold, which triggered some hidden dangers from his youth.

Several people felt nervous.

"Doctor, what should we do now?"

"I have already written the prescription. The old lady's condition is not suitable for strong medicine. We can only slowly adjust her condition and stabilize her before considering other things. If she is carefully cared for and properly adjusted, the old lady can still recover."

"But after all, I am old. No matter what, I can't recover to my youth. I have to be careful in the future and don't let this happen again."

General Xu cupped his hands and said, "Thank you for your concern, Imperial Physician."

The imperial physician avoided the question and said, "The Duke is seriously ill. This is my duty."

Xu's mother ordered the servants to follow the imperial physician to get the prescription and prepare the medicine, and then sent the imperial physician out before turning around and walking back.

Seeing that everyone was frowning, Xu's mother said loudly: "Why are you all frowning? Didn't the imperial physician say that as long as the old lady is properly treated, she will recover soon. People have to go through this when they get old. As a family member, the only thing we have to do is to take good care of her!"

"If the old lady sees you guys like this, she'll be in a bad mood too. How can she recover? Cheer up, everyone. The old lady is blessed with a long life, and she will be safe in the end!"

Mother Xu gave General Xu a look, and the couple walked aside and talked in private.

"I think besides the old lady's health, there is another important matter. We have invited the imperial physician to come back to the mansion to treat the old lady. The palace must know about this. The emperor might ask the imperial physician to come over and question her."

As soon as Xu's mother mentioned General Xu, Xu Jiang knew what she meant.

He frowned and pondered, and after a while he let out a breath from his chest, "I will think about this carefully."

Seeing the fatigue in his eyes, Xu's mother felt distressed. She wanted to comfort him, but she didn't know where to start.

This was not a simple officialdom matter, it involved too many things, and she, a woman, did not understand the game involved. But she knew that if she was not careful, the glory of the Chengguo Mansion, which had been earned with blood for hundreds of years, would vanish in an instant.

Finally, Xu's mother just said: "Don't forget, you still have me and several children behind you."

Xu Jiang raised his eyes to look at her, his heart moved, he couldn't help but reach out and embrace her, restrained himself and kissed her on the forehead, his voice a little hoarse: "Thank you for your hard work over the years."

Mother Xu shook her head. "Compared to us, you and the eldest brother are the ones who work the hardest."

At least they were in the capital, where life was much better than at the border. They had fine clothes and delicious food, no worries about food and drink, ice in the hot summer and floor heating in the cold winter, and they were comfortable. Unlike them, the conditions at the border were so harsh.

She still remembers that when the eldest brother came back from the border, she could hardly recognize him. He was the handsome prince of the Duke's Mansion in the capital. He was thin and dark, like a monkey that had been abused.

Later, the eldest brother adapted to the life at the border and gradually became normal. Later, she found out that when the eldest brother first went there, he was seriously ill and almost died! When she found out, she wanted to let the eldest brother come back regardless of anything.

General Xu also felt a little sorry for his eldest son.

The two of them hugged each other quietly for a while, and then they quickly let go of each other when they remembered that there were still a few children in the house. However, General Xu still held her hand and calmly returned to the house.

The children looked calm when they saw this. If it weren't for the wrong occasion and atmosphere, Xu Muhua would have dared to tease his own parents.

"You all heard what the imperial physician said just now. You are all grown up now, so I won't say much about other things. The most important thing now is to take good care of the old lady. Boss, you should prepare for your marriage. Pick an auspicious day and go to ask for marriage!"

They had talked about this before, and Xu Rui didn't have any special reaction when he heard her say this. He nodded and said, "Mom, I have no objection to this matter. You can arrange it! If there is anything you need me to do, just tell me."

He had no experience in getting married, and he didn't know what to do. He just knew the general idea.

"Okay, then mother will hire a matchmaker and wait for a good day to come and propose marriage!"

Of course, if you want to propose formally, you have to inform the girl in advance to avoid any embarrassing situations.

"Brother, have you made up your mind? Do you really want to marry the daughter of Geng's family?" Xu Muhua asked when he got the chance.

Xu Rui looked at her in surprise, "Why do you ask? Is there something wrong with this young lady from the Geng family?"

As he spoke, he frowned and said seriously, "If this is the case, I must stop mother in time. If there is something wrong with this Miss Geng, this marriage must not be concluded!"

As he said this, he was about to go find Xu's mother.

Xu Muhua was startled and hurriedly stopped him, "Brother, wait a minute!"

She just wanted to ask, when did you say there was something wrong with Miss Geng? Big brother is really good at making up his mind!

Xu Rui was stopped by her and turned around. She saw that he had a smile on his face, obviously teasing her.

Xu Muhua: "..."

She immediately counterattacked: "It seems that big brother is very satisfied with Miss Geng, so he became nervous when he heard what I said. They say that a man forgets his mother after marrying a wife. Big brother, you have thrown your own sister aside before you even marry a wife!"

Hearing this, Xu Rui reached out and tapped her forehead in anger, "Nonsense, you're putting the blame on someone else! I heard that it was you who proposed Miss Geng to mother, and now you're biting back?"

Xu Muhua said confidently: "I am worried because my elder brother is already old and still has no marriage. That's why I think of you as soon as I see a good girl. If you don't work hard, I, your younger sister, can only work hard. It's hard to find a sister as good and considerate as me in the world! You must cherish me!"

"When you and Miss Geng get married, you must thank me!"
