Conan's physique? The Crown Princess is involved in a murder case again
Chapter 120 I'm So Envious
Just a few days after Aunt Ying from the Fourth House came into the family, Old Madam Xu fell ill.
The Duke's Mansion invited a famous Taoist priest from the capital to take a look. It would be great if there could be some happy event in the mansion.
At the moment, the only marriage in the mansion that is certain is between Xu Xingyin and Xu Wanru.
Xu Xingyin's wedding date was set by the Imperial Observatory and cannot be changed.
Therefore, for the sake of Madam Xu's health, the Duke's Mansion did not care about the order of seniority and "had to" marry off the youngest daughter, Xu Wanrui, first.
The younger sister married before the older sister, and the older sister's husband's family was still so distinguished, so it was not in accordance with etiquette no matter what.
Old Madam Xu was also afraid of being blamed by the royal family, so she sent Shi to plead for Xu Xingyin.
Ever since Old Madam Xu tried to save her face last time, her attitude towards Xu Xingyin has become much gentler.
This time, I came up with this idea on purpose, on the one hand, to appease Shi's temper, and on the other hand, to give Xu Xingyin an outlet so that she won't bear grudges in the future.
Xu Xingyin had no idea about Old Madam Xu's idea.
In order to ensure Xu Wanru's smooth marriage, Shi agreed without any hesitation.
Shi herself knew that she had offended Xu Xingyin greatly before, so in order to show her sincerity, she ran to Chenguang Courtyard and knelt down early in the morning.
Ever since Old Madam Xu "fell ill", the younger generations' morning greetings were cancelled. Chen also didn't like to bother the children, so Xu Xingyin slept until noon these days.
Dangui happened to be on holiday that day and was not at home.
Dan Feng had always disliked Shi, and seeing that Xu Xingyin was sleeping soundly, he did not take the initiative to report it.
Therefore, when Xu Xingyin woke up, he found out that Shi had been kneeling in the snow for most of the morning.
Dan Feng was scolded by Xu Xingyin for a few words. He shrank his head and did not dare to talk back. He answered honestly:
"It's been about two hours. Maybe because he was afraid that the young lady would bear a grudge, he didn't even dare to hold an umbrella."
No matter Xu Xingyin knew about it or not, if word got out about Shi kneeling for the whole morning, no one would believe Xu Xingyin's innocence.
Xu Xingyin didn't really take these things seriously, so he waved his hand and asked Dan Feng to go out and pass on the message, saying that Xu Xingyin had agreed to Shi's request, and Shi could just go back and rest without any worries.
Watching Shi's figure slowly disappearing from sight with the help of the maid, Xu Xingyin just shook his head slowly and said:
"So, this is why there must be something hateful about pitiful people, right?"
After saying this, she felt a little sore in her eyes, but who in the backyard was not pitiful?
It was snowing heavily on the day Xu Wanrui got married.
Xu Xingyin was holding a hot water bottle in the corridor, looking at the bustling scene outside. The red silk looked particularly dazzling in the snow-white mansion.
The usually weak Fourth Master stiffened his neck to teach the groom Bai Shaotong a lesson, then personally sent Xu Wanru out with red eyes. Look at those eyes, they are even more dazzling than the red silk on the eaves.
Shi was unusually dignified today. While no one was paying attention, she stuffed the private money she had saved into Xu Wanru's makeup box.
His eyes turned red again and again, but he still smiled and sent his daughter out the door.
After delivering the dowry gift, Dangui came back and saw Xu Xingyin, and said to her with a smile on her face.
"Not only did she help Miss Nine save her unborn baby, but she also suppressed the flames of the Fourth Room. Miss really has a plan that leaves nothing to chance."
Xu Xingyin tried hard to curl his lips, but he just couldn't be happy.
No matter how disappointing Xu Wanzhi was, Master Xu Si and Shi really doted on her and loved her.
What they can do for Xu Wanru, they will never be able to have in their lifetime.
Xu Xingyin asked herself, she had never done anything disobedient before, but Xu Xiuzhu just didn't like her.
If she didn't have the title of Crown Princess, he would even wish she would die.
Why is there such a big gap between people?
Everyone envies Xu Xingyin's good background, but who knows how she spent her childhood?
Xu Xingyin vaguely still remembers a little girl of only four or five years old standing on the busy street, looking enviously at the little kids who were taken away by their parents. The envy in her eyes was heartbreaking.
The domineering little boy in brocade clothes raised his chin to the sky, pointed at her and scolded her, saying that she was an unwanted jinx.
The servants around her couldn't bear to see her suffer such injustice, so they rushed up and started fighting with the servants of the little boy in brocade clothes.
The servants were busy fighting, and passers-by were enjoying watching the fun.
She was the only one standing there, all alone, and asked softly:
"Daddy, why don't you want me?"
At that moment, she suddenly felt that the world was big, big enough to accommodate countless happy families;
This world is so small, so small...
It seemed like she was the only one there.
Too much wisdom will lead to harm. Ha, that's a good saying.
After Xu Wanru's wedding banquet, Xu Xingyin fell seriously ill.
The high fever didn't go away, and Chen was so scared that her eyes turned red from crying, fearing that Xu Xingyin would be burned to death by accident.
In the end, Xu Chaoge broke into a certain imperial physician's residence late at night, dragged the physician out of bed, and rode back home with the physician carrying the medicine box.
The poor imperial physician's old bones were almost broken by the horse, but after all, it was the illness of the future Crown Princess, so he did not dare to make trouble and went to see the patient efficiently without complaining about the hard work.
When the old doctor examined Xu Xingyin, his high fever still persisted. After taking his pulse, the old doctor just sighed and said.
"Miss Xu Qi is so depressed that she has a strong internal fire. I'll prescribe two doses of medicine for her to take on time and she will be fine. But the person who tied the bell must untie it. I hope the Duke's wife can comfort her and help Miss Xu Qi resolve her worries as soon as possible."
After Xu Xingyin took the medicine prescribed by the old doctor, his body really got better slowly. Dangui and the others were so happy that their eyes were smiling.
Chen was also happy, but she couldn't understand why Xu Xingyin suddenly fell ill.
After thinking about it, I felt that maybe it was because she felt emotional when she saw Xu Wanru getting married, and she developed a homesickness complex as a young girl and didn't want to get married.
Therefore, I had to have some private conversation with Xu Xingyin.
The general idea is that there is no room for maneuver since the imperial decree has been issued, and the best thing to do is to wait for marriage happily.
Xu Xingyin nodded soullessly, and suddenly tilted his head and asked Chen:
"Mother, do you love father?"
"Love. When I was young, I loved him terribly, otherwise I wouldn't have insisted on marrying into the Duke's Mansion. But later, I didn't love him anymore. Maybe it was..."
Chen was stunned. Although her smile was a little bitter, she still nodded firmly. When she said this, she stopped to think for a moment.
"When he insisted on sending you away, I almost divorced your father, but we still had your brother between us. For your brother... I couldn't go anywhere."
"Mother, if you were given a chance to start over again, would you still choose father?"
