After His Majesty was reborn, the poor little girl in his previous life was spoiled to death

Shen Chongyao saw that she looked unhappy, and asked with concern, "Is there anything that embarrasses you, young lady?"

Lin Ruozhen wrote beautiful hairpin-shaped small characters. Ning'er put down the invitation and frowned slightly: "Sister Lin, invite me to stay at her house for a while."

She shook her head secretly. The extent of the Marquis' injury was unknown, so how could she have the energy to have fun? She was afraid that she would disappoint Sister Lin's kindness.

Shen Chongyao raised his eyebrows and said, "Miss, it would be nice for you to stay for a few days."

Ning Er said, "My Lord is about to return home, so why would I go to someone else's house to have fun?"

Shen Chongyao explained, "The young lady doesn't know yet. The hidden worries in the mansion have not been resolved, and the eldest brother's matter is imminent. At this moment, I am afraid that I can't spare more energy to catch the murderer and recover the stolen goods. In order to concentrate on taking care of the Marquis in the future, the old lady even asked the eldest sister-in-law to take Chengying and Ruyao back to Shangshu Luo's mansion to live temporarily."

Ning Er was surprised and said, "It has come to this? Doesn't that mean that when the Marquis returns home, the Madam, the Young Master and the Young Miss will not be around?"

Shen Chongyao shook his head and smiled bitterly: "How can I care about so many things at this time? The old lady did this because she was afraid that if her energy was distracted and she had no time to take care of me, the bad guys would take advantage of her."

"Lord Lin, the Left Censor-in-Chief, has a very good reputation as an official. His daughter must be good. If Miss Lin is on good terms with you, it wouldn't be a bad idea for her to stay out of the palace for a few days at this time."

Ning Er was still very hesitant after hearing this: "That's true, but I can't rest assured if I don't come to see the Marquis's injury." She handed the note to Shen Chongyao: "I'll have to trouble the Second Master to deliver my reply later."

Shen Chongyao took it and took a look at it, then gave her an idea: "The invitation was only delivered today, why bother to reject it so hastily? Why not wait a day? I estimate that the Marquis will be able to return home by tomorrow night at the latest. Then we can see what the situation is."

Who would have thought that at dawn the next day, several teams of carriages and horses arrived outside the Marquis's mansion, led by a burly soldier with a pair of leopard eyes and a voice as loud as a gong: "Hurry up! I'm here to escort Marquis Shen back to his mansion!"

The gatekeepers had received instructions in advance, and when they heard this, they rushed forward, some to open the door, some to unload the horses.

Manager Cai knew the stakes, so he hurriedly bowed and walked to the soldier's horse, thanking him profusely: "Thank you for escorting our Marquis from a thousand miles away. We are deeply grateful for your farewell. We have prepared a little wine, please dismount and take your brothers to rest for a while."

The soldier dismounted, put his hands behind his waist, looked around proudly, and said in a loud voice: "Go find someone who is in charge of your house."

At this time, Shen Chongyao, who had received the news, finally arrived at the door. At a glance, he saw a sturdy man with an imposing manner standing in front of his horse. He hurriedly went up to him and bowed deeply: "Excuse me, is this Lord Kong in person? Your humble servant Shen Chongyao, I am honored to meet you, Lord."

Kong Mu waved his hand and picked him up, saying with a smile, "Lord Shen, why are you so polite?" He got straight to the point, "We happened to meet Lord Shen's men on the way, so we quickly turned the reins and brought the former Lord back. I left more than a hundred brothers to guard the remaining baggage, carriages, and wounded soldiers, and they will arrive around night."

Shen Chongyao was extremely grateful: "Lord Kong, your kindness is great, and I will never forget it. You and the soldiers have braved the wind and rain and traveled thousands of miles. It must be really hard. Please come into the mansion and have a chat."

Kong Mu slapped his shoulder fiercely, almost slapping the weak scholar Shen Chongyao to pieces: "Brother Shen, you are too polite. You and I are officials in the same court. We are just loyal to the emperor. What's the hardship?"

He raised his whip and pointed at the most spacious carriage in the middle: "Hurry up and send the Marquis to the palace, that's the right thing to do. I won't bother you any more, I have to hurry back to report to the emperor."

As he said this, Kong Mu jumped onto his horse and laughed, "As for the wine and food, we brothers will get together again when Lord Shen gets better!" Then he kicked the horse's belly and galloped towards the imperial city.

Everyone in Songshou Hall had already been alarmed. Upon learning that the Marquis' carriage had entered the mansion, Old Madam Zhu could no longer sit still and kept urging people to come over.

Xiu Yu couldn't persuade her, so she had to accompany the old lady into the sedan chair and rush to the front.

In the Marquis's courtyard, there was a circle of people coming and going, making a lot of noise. Xiang Ming was standing in the corridor wiping her tears, when she suddenly saw Madam Zhu's sedan chair coming over, and she quickly wiped her tears and went to greet it.

Before she could greet him, Old Madam Zhu asked, "Where's Chongyan? Where is he?"

Xiang Ming hurriedly led her to the south-facing room and whispered, "Several palace doctors just ordered the Marquis to be carried in, and they are watching now!"

Madam Zhu was about to go in, and Xiang Mang was so scared that she quickly held her back and winked at Xiu Yu: "Madam, Doctor Ge is giving acupuncture right now. If you go in rashly, it might startle him, which would be bad!"

Xiu Yu quickly took over the conversation: "Old lady, why don't you go to the main hall and wait until Doctor Ge comes out, and then we will go in immediately."

Old Madam Zhu was so anxious that her face turned blue: "Can't I just take a look from a distance?"

Xiang Ming coaxed and pulled her to the couch in the front hall: "The Marquis has already entered the house, why should the old lady be in a hurry? In my opinion, it would be more appropriate to wait for Doctor Ge to come out before we go in."

While Xiuyu was serving tea, Xiangming pulled her to the front of the tea room and stamped her feet anxiously: "Why is the old lady here at this time? The Marquis is covered in blood and can't even be cleaned up! How can the old lady bear it if she sees this?"

Xiuyu understood this principle, but she was powerless: "The old lady insisted on coming over, and I couldn't persuade her even if I talked her mouth off!"

Xiang Ming could only hurriedly say, "Well, we'll just have to delay it for a while. I'll go get Miss Liu Ying to come over. If anything happens to the old lady, there'll be someone to take care of her."

Unexpectedly, before Liu Ying came over, Ning'er arrived first.

When she saw Xiang Ming's face, her heart sank and she suddenly became so panicked that her hands and feet went numb.

Her face turned pale: "Sister Xiangming, Lord Marquis, is Lord Marquis okay?"

Xiang Ming couldn't help but hold her hand, her eyes turned red, and she couldn't utter the word "good".

Ning'er immediately turned around and ran to the consultation room. Before Xiang Ming could stop her, she heard Xiu Yu loudly say, "The old lady went there by herself!"

The maids immediately realized that something was wrong and hurriedly chased after her, but they only saw Old Madam Zhu holding onto the rosewood moon-shaped door of the inner room, screaming heart-wrenchingly, "My son!" Then her knees and legs went weak and she fell backwards.

Xiu Yu and Xiang Ming almost rushed over and finally managed to support Madam Zhu, only to see that her eyes were closed, tears were welling up in the corners of her eyes, her teeth were clenched, and she had already fainted.

Ning'er arrived a step late. She first saw the unconscious old lady and her heart began to beat wildly. Then she looked around and saw that several layers of cotton gauze on the bed were soaked, revealing a bloody figure with a face and hands exposed. The face and hands were completely bloodless and as pale as a dead person!
