When the word "poisoned" came out, everyone was shocked again.

Aunt Qu grabbed and hit Lu Yi madly: "You lowly maid, how dare you harm the Fifth Young Master? How have I ever treated you badly? How dare you kill the master?"

"Quick, go to the palace and invite Doctor Ye." The old lady shouted, "Aunt Qu, shut up."

The court physician has tried his best to treat Xie Xun. He knows some basic detoxification techniques. He asked Ye Wuyi for help, but he felt that the poison was rather strong and the child was too young, so it would be best to eliminate it completely.

The chaos in Wutong Garden had already spread to the front yard.

Xie Anfeng, Xie Yu, Gu Shaoyu and Gu Chengyan are all here.

The old lady was afraid that the family affairs would disturb Gu Shaoyu, so she said to Xie Zhaozhao: "Take Gu Ge Lao to your yard to rest, it's too messy here."

Xie Zhaozhao's foot was still a little lame, so Gu Shaoyu took it from Yuan Yuanmanman's hand, helped her walk slowly towards the boudoir, and asked, "How did you sprain your ankle?"

Xie Zhaozhao told him about his visit to his younger brother.

Gu Shaoyu didn't think about the quarrels in the back house, and said, "You should be careful when you go to see my younger brother. It hurts to sprain your ankle. I'll give you a massage later."

Xie Zhaozhao was really afraid that he would rub his feet and become violent again. This was in the Xie Mansion, not Qingpu Courtyard.

She resolutely refused to let him rub her feet, saying, "I feel much better now. The court doctor just treated me and applied medicated oil. I should be well soon."

Gu Shaoyu knew that she was shy, so he didn't insist.

Xie Zhaozhao told Gu Shaoyu about Xiaowu being poisoned. Gu Shaoyu was very surprised: "How could such a child be poisoned?"

"Not sure, let's wait and see what Witch Doctor Ye says."

When walking around the Chaoshou corridor, Xie Zhaozhao saw that the peaches in the peach forest next to him were fully ripe and fragrant, so he said to Yuanyuan, "Go pick a few peaches for the elder to taste."

Yuanyuan picked seven or eight peaches, went back to the yard, washed them, peeled the peaches, cut them into small square pieces, simmered them with crushed ice, and served them to the two of them with a silver fruit fork.

This peach is sweet and crisp.

Gu Shaoyu saw how she ate the food one grain at a time and it looked so delicious. He felt itchy in his heart, so he picked up a fork and carefully fed it into her mouth.

Xie Zhaozhao said embarrassedly: "Eat it yourself, no need to feed me."

Gu Shaoyu didn't say anything, but just fed the fish carefully, one by one.

Xie Zhaozhao said it several times, but he didn't listen.

Yuanyuanman was watching from the side and felt strange and wanted to laugh. What was the son-in-law trying to do? He had a serious face, as if he was not feeding the pigs, but doing something very sacred?

Xie Zhaozhao couldn't stand it anymore, and in revenge, she took a piece of peach and stuffed it roughly into his mouth.

The man was not polite at all. He opened his mouth in time, ate one, and looked at the peach pieces on the ice basket.

What's the next one? Throw it over here!

Xie Zhaozhao had no choice but to feed him again. The man accepted the food and smiled at Xie Zhaozhao in an especially... charming way!

Xie Zhaozhao was dazzled by his smile. Why was this guy like this? He was releasing the masculine aura of courtship all the time.

You, could you please restrain yourself?

Xie Zhaozhao simply put down the spoon, he couldn't bear to watch it anymore.

"Zhao Zhao, this peach is delicious, sweet, crisp, juicy and especially fragrant." He said it seriously, every word was correct and easy to understand, but Xie Zhaozhao just felt that something was wrong.

She swore that she would never let him feed her again, nor would she feed him.

After eating the peaches, the two little girls ran away.

Gu Ge Lao said with satisfaction: "I feel much better after eating the peach you fed me. I'm hungry because I haven't eaten yet."

Xie Zhaozhao looked at the time. It was already noon and time to eat.

Just as I was thinking about eating, Guanyan came running over and said, "Lord, Madam, the table is ready. The master wants you to eat."

Before he finished speaking, Xie Yu also came and called out from outside the yard: "Zhao Zhao, it's time to eat."

Gu Shaoyu helped Xie Zhaozhao put on her shoes and supported her slowly out of the room.

Xie Yu said, "I just heard from the court doctor that you sprained your ankle. How is it? Does it still hurt?"

"It's almost done. It doesn't hurt anymore." Xie Zhaozhao asked, "Is my fifth brother okay?"

"Witch Doctor Ye checked Xiaowu and now most of the toxins have been cleared away, so there shouldn't be any major problems."

Since the two sons-in-law were in the mansion, Xie Yu didn't want to say more.

For lunch, the meal at Xie’s house was already top-notch, with bear paws, venison, delicacies from land and sea...everything you could imagine.

However, the rules are very strict. The servants hold the bowls, hold the tea, serve the dishes, and serve the dishes. No one is repeated.

Looking at the people coming and going, the shadows of their clothes were fluttering, but they were all in an orderly manner. You could not hear the sound of footsteps when they walked. Even the maids who were cleaning the house would greet the guests calmly when they saw them. None of them ran around, shouted, or hid.

The Xie family is a true aristocratic family.

The father-in-law and the son-in-law toasted each other and enjoyed themselves very much. Xie Anfeng had a very pleasant conversation with Lord Gu. Second Lord Xie and Third Lord Xie tried their best to curry favor with Lord Gu, hoping to promote them.

Gu Chengyan is the eldest son of a marquisate, but he has no real power, and is just a nominal eldest son.

As the saying goes, the first generation of marquis is a hero, the second generation of marquis is a bear, and when it comes to Gu Chengyan, there is only a dog left.

Xie Yu considered his reputation and did not ignore him too much.

Xie Zhaozhao was with the old lady, Xie Xiangxiang and other female guests. Xu was also there, but she was distracted the whole time.

Madam Xie II and Madam Xie III were extremely enthusiastic. They kept serving food to Xie Zhaozhao and said many nice things to him.

With the old lady around, they didn't dare to make any big demands.

Madam Xie only pleaded, "Miss, can you talk to Lord Gu? Your uncle wants to be transferred to the Salt and Iron Bureau. Even if he is just a small errand boy, it is better than him hanging around on the periphery."

Second uncle Xie Anhuai has little presence in the mansion, but he is still respectful to my father.

Xie Zhaozhao couldn't promise anything. The Salt and Iron Bureau was probably the richest department in the court, but her second uncle was good at choosing.

But when she came, Gu Shaoyu told her: "There is a vacancy in the Salt and Iron Department now, the position is not high, if someone wants it, and the other person happens to be the one you want to promote, you can accept it."

That position was too low and he didn't want to arrange Xie Yu for it.

Xie Yu stayed in the Ministry of Revenue for a few years and was promoted to Minister of Revenue. After a few years of outstanding political achievements, he had a chance to join the cabinet.

Old Madam Xie also looked at Xie Zhaozhao eagerly. She naturally hoped that her son could be promoted. Xie Anhuai was also her biological son.

"Zhao Zhao, the Salt and Iron Bureau is His Majesty's money bag. Now His Majesty is favoring people from humble backgrounds, so it must be difficult to seek help. Just ask Lord Gu to keep an eye on it."

The old lady is saying this to the second and third wives. Stop asking for favors from Xie Zhaozhao all the time. Are you buying vegetables on the street?

Seeing her grandmother say this, Xie Zhaozhao said, "I'll tell the elder not to hold out too much hope. I don't know if we can squeeze out a vacancy."

When the old lady and Madam Xie heard this, they were so delighted as if they had received an imperial decree.

The eldest lady is always conservative in her words, and if she can tell me, then I will definitely do my best to help.

Xie Xiangxiang got angry when she saw how excited they were. She slammed her chopsticks on the table and said, "It's never going to end, is it? Are you marrying off your daughter or selling her?"
