The general's wife is sick

Xiong Jinghai always felt that Ji Liu's words meant sharing weal and woe, but he was as smart as he was. When his wife and younger brother had conflicts, he stood firmly and doggedly behind Ji Liu.

"Liu'er is right!"

After returning home, he was inexplicably assigned to grind medicinal materials. Since the opening of Master Sima's Yingkou Academy, he has not done this kind of work again. There are many students in Yingkou Academy, and each person has a handful of herbs. They can also do this kind of work. finished.

There are no secrets in the capital, and within a short while, the story of Yan Bao being slandered and then the two of them being kicked out of the Immortal Residence by Ji Liu spread all over the capital.

Some people didn't take it seriously, "What all the property, what property can he have with a single son, he dared to drive away the prime minister's relatives, didn't you see that they didn't even pay attention to the Earl of Ziyang's mansion!"

It turned out that the person behind the gossip was Prime Minister Zhao Yongnian's relative. After everyone sighed for a while, they found that Ji Liu was really brave enough to confront the Prime Minister in public.

But then some people began to count Ji Liu's property in detail, and the more they counted, the more surprised they were, and their mouths couldn't close.

Someone discovered that Earl Ziyang's Mansion has been wandering among the wealthy families in the capital, but their goods are all supported by Ji Liu.After returning to Beijing this time, the special products brought back by Ji Liu from the Northwest not only allowed Xianrenju to open, but also quietly opened other shops next to Xianyi Pavilion and Treasure Hall.

Many people inquired secretly, and Ji Liu revealed a corner of his family background as they wished.

Interested people discovered that Ji Liu's industry has penetrated into every aspect of life, all the goods in the past have been picked up, and the clothes, jewelry, food, and makeup that caused the capital trend are all from Ji Liu's hands.

The changes in the Northwest also naturally leaked...

The tongue finally fell silent at this moment. When a person reaches a height that is unmatched by everyone, what he suffers is no longer blank stares, no longer cynicism, but respect.

At noon, Ji Liu came out of Guangyang Princess Courtyard with a calm expression.

Since the beginning of the war, Zhan Ping and Zhan Yi have been close to Princess Guangyang these days, and Da Hui and Tuan Mo are happy to stay by the side.

Everything in the general's mansion seemed so calm, after lunch, Ji Liu met Xiong Zhengli alone.

"I went to the Northwest with your elder brother for a long time, and I have never seen your body since I came back. Today I am free, and I will feel your pulse."

A small pulse pillow was placed on the stone table in the garden, and Ji Liu was sitting on the stone bench, her immortal posture remained undiminished, beautiful as before, the breeze was comfortable, and the leaves rustled when blowing.

The more insipid Ji Liu was, the more alarm bells in Xiong Zhengli's heart rang out, "Thank you, sister-in-law."

Ji Liu nodded, he was willing to touch Xiong Zhengli's pulse so he deserved his thanks, "We are a family, so there is no need to be so polite."

"The pulse condition is beating strongly. Presumably, you have put in a lot of hard work yourself to recover to such a degree. Your mother and your eldest brother will not have to worry about your health."

"Yes."

"But..." Ji Liu changed the subject, "Recently, your insides are hot and hot, and your virtual fire is exuberant. I will prescribe a side medicine for you, and let the ingredients be fried for you, so as to remove the virtual fire in your body."

This is not bad, Xiong Zhengli also felt that he was a bit more impatient after being able to see but not get close to him all day. Although he was vigilant at this time, he hadn't thought much about it yet. "Thank you, sister-in-law."

But when the ingredients appeared with three bowls of black soup, Xiong Zhengli's face turned green.

"What's wrong?" Seeing that Xiong Zhengli was motionless, Ji Liu raised his chin slightly, "Drink!"

"Sister-in-law, I know I was wrong."

If there is anyone in this world who can make Xiong Zhengli admit his weakness immediately, Ji Liu ranks second, and no one dares to rank first.

The book for Xiong Zhengli's days of detoxification is the most unforgettable time in his life. Every mouthful of the thick and black medicinal soup is torture like death.

"Some sufferings have to be tasted by yourself before you can experience the sufferings in others' hearts, are you right?"

"Sister-in-law, I also have difficulties." Xiong Zhengli argued, "Hong Yan's child is not what I want to keep for her, Yan Bao... Yan Bao is..."

"Drink!" Ji Liu refused to budge, "I'll listen to your explanation after drinking the first bowl."

Xiong Zhengli's face was extremely ugly, but he didn't dare to be disobedient. His eldest brother is also obeying his wife's orders now, and the relationship between Ji Liu and Yan Bao made him absolutely dare not offend this sister-in-law who looks like a fairy, but is cruel.

Holding his breath, he poured the decoction down his throat in one breath, and the demeanor of death made him look like a man.

"Very well, just say what you have to say!"

"Sister-in-law, I like Yan Bao."

"I can't see it." Ji Liu didn't give him a chance to be sensational at all, he had a serious face, showing no emotion.

"..." Xiong Zhengli choked on Ji Liu's words, his face froze, "I did do something to hurt him before, but it was all forced by the form. Yan Bao's temper and sister-in-law also understand, if I cheat, he I will definitely not sincerely ask the Queen Mother to leave me."

"Is everything you did Yan Bao's fault?" Ji Liu asked.

Xiong Zhengli suddenly realized that he couldn't say the words of defense anyway, "No, it's my fault."

"After I returned to Beijing, he asked me what he did wrong to make you treat him like this." Ji Liutao's face flashed with pain, "Even when he knew that he was poisoned by Wang Xin, he never revealed it." That look of vulnerability and hurt, and it all came from you."

Xiong Zhengli suddenly discovered that after Yan Bao had a estrangement with himself, he never seriously reflected on himself, and always blamed other people for his mistakes. He hated the Queen Mother and the teaching mother who made Yan Bao lose his dignity. Only I never hated myself.

Perhaps, at the beginning, his methods were milder or another method could have freed Yan Bao from the shackles of the Queen Mother, but he chose the method with the most intense methods and the most damage value. The culprit for their current relationship is himself. .

"Drink the second bowl."

The change in Xiong Zhengli's expression did not escape Ji Liu's eyes, he is also a man, similar to other men, he does not have a detailed mind to speculate on the psychological changes of other people in their relationship.

But he loves Yan Bao!

Without Xiong Zhengli's injury, there would be no Yan Bao who is depressed and stubbornly sticks to the bottom line. He is like an abandoned hamster, trembling but still holding his neck high, trying to impress others. The eyes are really pitiful.

Without any extra words, Xiong Zhengli picked up the second bowl of soup and drank it all in one go. The bitter taste in his mouth was lingering, and his heart gradually became bitter and painful.

"You made him feel wronged, he was dressed in men's clothes outside, and the world stared at him, what did you do for him?"

Xiong Zhengli didn't answer, not because he didn't want to answer, but after careful consideration, he never responded when Yan Bao was bullied. He was Yan Bao's husband, but he never protected him.

After being pressed by Ji Liu every sentence, Xiong Zhengli realized what he had done, "Sister-in-law, I know I was wrong."

"I was attacked by grassland people in the northwest. Your elder brother turned into a ghost on the spot. If I hadn't stopped him, he would have been decapitated on the spot. Compared with your elder brother, do you think you are good enough?"

Xiong Zhengli was just about to explain how the Northwest Frontier was as important as the capital, but he swallowed the words again.

Because Xiong Zhengli found that no matter what the problem was, he always subconsciously looked for reasons for himself instead of reflecting on himself.

"I can't compare to big brother."

"You are indeed not as good as your elder brother!" Ji Liu didn't intend to save face for Xiong Zhengli, such a person wouldn't wake him up once, and he didn't know what kind of foolish things he would do later. "You hurt him, and you didn't show up to protect him immediately when he was being bullied by others, but you still expect him to change his mind and grow old with you forever, why?! Just relying on your brilliant tongue to fool ghosts and gods so-called sincerity two sentences?"

Xiong Zhengli was extremely ashamed and indignant. It was the first time he was reprimanded in front of people, and he was afraid of Ji Liu in his heart, "Sister-in-law, I will change it in the future. I like him and I will protect him."

"Like is too light a word, anyone can say it. Now it's just you and me, so you should first tell me how you plan to protect him in the future."

Shrugging his head, Xiong Zhengli was hit hard, but he was equally stubborn, "I will follow him from today on, and I will go wherever he goes. If anyone makes irresponsible remarks by his side, I will definitely not Spare them!"

"childish!"

Ji Liu was tired of Yan Bao's liking for such a person with a skinny EQ but a low EQ. As long as Xiong Zhengli had one-tenth of Xiong Jinghai's EQ, he would not let Yan Bao get hurt like this.

These two are brothers?

Ji Liu had doubts for the first time.

"Drink the third bowl!"

When Xiong Zhengli heard the word drink, he reflexively wanted to vomit, but being stared at by Ji Liu's peach blossom eyes, he swallowed back the vomit that was about to well up in his throat.

The bitterness of the third bowl surpassed the combination of the first two bowls, and Xiong Zhengli's facial features instantly distorted.

"If you want to get close to Yan Bao, go back and think about how to remedy it in the future. Before that, I won't let you see him, and you have honestly accepted crooked thoughts. If I find out, there is nothing worse than this." A hundred times more bitter soup is waiting for you."

Back in the study, Xiong Zhengli poured a whole pot of tea to dilute the bitterness in his mouth. Xiaoxin was heartbroken, "Young Madam is too cruel, knowing that you are afraid of hardship, but still tormenting you like this."

Without saying a word, Xiong Zhengli walked to the wall of the book in front of Xiaoxin, took out the hidden pill bottle, and threw it out along the window.

Liu Xu, who had just turned to the corridor with Hong Yan's boiled soup, was taken aback, and then heard Xiong Zhengli's urgent voice, "Xiaoxin, go and pick it up!"

Liu Xu hurriedly dodged with the push plate in hand, and secretly leaned against the wall to peek inside.

Xiaoxin was also very curious, "Master, what are you trying to do?"

But after he picked up the bottle and read the label, he stopped asking.

"Don't ask if you shouldn't."

Xiong Zhengli hid this thing behind the book again.

And all of this was clearly seen by Liu Xu outside.
