==Chapter 152==
After being bored in the house for a long time, Yao Niang was also bored.
So when Xiaobao made a fuss and said that he wanted to find sister Yueyue, she thought about it and agreed. In fact, she had been wondering whether Mr. Qiao's illness was getting better. Although she only met Mr. Qiao twice, she liked Mr. Qiao very much from the bottom of her heart.
She asked Grandma Gong to prepare some medicinal materials, and then took Xiaobao and Yuchan to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion in a carriage.
It sounds simple, but in fact, it is a tedious task to prepare the bicycle frame, the accompanying maids, the palace guards, etc. This is also the reason why Yao Niang is reluctant to go out recently. Going out in the cold weather will not only cause trouble, but also make people suffer.
When we arrived at the Zhenguogong Mansion, there was no invitation, so we had to wait for someone to go in and report.
Not long after, several people came out from inside.
Since Yao Niang didn’t know the servants in the Duke’s mansion, she didn’t notice anything strange. It wasn’t until the servants led her to the main courtyard where Mrs. Zhen Guo lived that doubts arose in her mind, but it was too late. Without much thought, I was welcomed in.
Mrs. Zhen Guogong sat in the first place, but did not see Mrs. Qiao.
Strange as it is, there are still etiquettes that should be paid attention to. Yao Niang saluted the Duke of Zhen Guo and his wife. The Duke's wife was old and had a high position, so she could afford it, but she was smiling all over her face and repeatedly told Yao Niang not to be polite.
After sitting down, the girl served tea, and Mrs. Zhenguo asked some gossip, most of which focused on Xiaobao. In fact, when two people who don't know each other sit together, it's safest and least likely to offend anyone by talking about this topic.
Xiaobao moved uneasily. Yao Niang could see the clues, so naturally he could too. All kinds of bad thoughts were now emerging in his mind, and he wanted to know what happened to Yueyue and what happened to Qiao.
Here, Yao Niang also asked why she didn’t see Mrs. Qiao. Mrs. Zhen Guo looked worried and said: "My daughter-in-law is not doing well these days. The doctor came to take a look and said it was... It was best not to be exposed to the wind, so I let her stay behind closed doors to recuperate. The concubine should know that my son is not in the capital recently, and I am really worried, so I took the liberty to welcome the concubine to my yard, just as I'm sorry for the inconvenience of my daughter-in-law showing up to accompany you. When she gets better, I'll let her go to your house to apologize."
This statement is comprehensive, and it clarifies the cause of the matter, so that people will not feel guilty, and naturally they will not be ignorant. But Yao Niang couldn't help but think of a small detail she saw at Lanruo Pavilion when she came to Zhen Guogong Mansion.
When the meal was served at noon that day, Mrs. Qiao specially asked the girl to go to the main courtyard to deliver a message, saying that Prince Jin's side concubine would be allowed to eat in the courtyard.
The matter is small, but there are clues. Only the kind of person whose mother-in-law is particularly strict will make her daughter-in-law have to report something even after having a meal.
Afterwards, Mrs. Qiao revealed in her words that Mrs. Zhenguo was not happy with her, but she didn't say much, and Yao Niang didn't ask any more questions. But Yao Niang also knew one thing, that is, Qiao's only son, brother Xin, was raised in the old lady's yard.
Yao Niang didn’t know why she thought of this. She always felt that Mrs. Zhen Guo had caused this to happen, as if she wanted to hide something.
"Mom." Xiaobao pulled the corner of her clothes, "Sister Yueyue."
Yao Niang immediately remembered that besides wanting to see Mr. Qiao today, the other purpose was because Xiaobao missed Yueyue.
While her thoughts were swirling, she smiled and said to the Duke of Zhenguo: "The old lady said this, which makes me a little frightened. Since Sister Qiao is sick, I will not disturb her, but you Look at my son, Xiaobao, this trip is specifically to see Yueyue. I wonder where this child Yueyue is now?"
Mrs. Zhen Guogong nodded and did not hide anything: "Ms. Qiao has been acting inappropriately these days. I was afraid that the servants would suffer from the child, so I brought her here to raise her for a few days. Mother Bai, take care of the young master." Go and see Yue Yatou."
As soon as she heard that Yueyue was also brought to the main courtyard, Yao Niang couldn’t sit still. She stood up with a smile and said, “I haven’t seen Yueyue’s child for many days. Mother Bai, I’ll follow you. How about you go with me?"
Can Mama Bai say bad things? The old lady didn't dare to stop it.
She originally wanted to cover up what happened in the mansion, so she acted like this, but if she really prevented Concubine Su from seeing her child, she didn't know how much unnecessary trouble it would add. She could only give Mama Bai a wink secretly. After receiving the wink, Mama Bai smiled and walked to Yao Niang: "I will lead the concubine here."
Because Yueyue has been really noisy these past few days, the old lady is getting old and gets a headache whenever she hears the children making noises, so Yueyue now lives in a small courtyard on the south side of the main courtyard.
Mama Bai led Yao Niang away, but before they reached the front door of the courtyard, she heard Yueyue crying.
She was so anxious that she hurriedly walked in and scolded: "Why did you make the girl cry again? What do you mean by you?" Then she said to Yueyue with a smile: "Girl, please stop crying. Now, look, the young master from Prince Jin’s Mansion has come to see you. I will ask someone to prepare more fruit snacks for you and the young master to eat together.”
Yueyue ignored her and ran over when she saw Xiaobao, "Brother Chen, aunt."
The little face was covered with tears, and she cried so much that the little baby felt distressed. He wanted to hug her over to comfort her, but he realized that he had short arms, short legs, and a short body, so he couldn't hold her at all.
It was Yao Niang who hugged Yueyue and said, "What's wrong with Yueyue? But you miss Brother Xiaobao?"
"Auntie, I..."
Yao Niang touched her little face and interrupted her next words: "Auntie knows that you miss Brother Xiaobao, so Auntie specially brought Brother Xiaobao to play with you today. Look outside It's cold, can we go inside and talk? My aunt has been riding in a carriage for a long time. She is tired and thirsty. Let her drink some water first."
Yueyue is a sensible child. She obviously has a lot to say in her heart, but she still holds back.
Mother Bai also said from the side: "Concubine, please come in and sit down."
After entering the room and sitting down, the girl served tea and brought a plate of snacks and fruit.
Yao Niang's heart was pounding. She pretended to drink tea, but she was thinking about what to do about this matter.
Is she overthinking it, or is there really something going on?
While thinking, her sleeve was tugged, but when Yueyue saw Yao Niang drinking tea and sitting down, she thought that her aunt must not be thirsty or tired anymore, and could listen to her.
"Auntie, I want to see my mother, but they won't let me go."
Mama Bai has been by her side all the time. When she saw this, she hurriedly said: "Girl, it's not that I won't let you go, but I'm afraid that I won't let you go after you're sick. When Madam gets better, I'll let someone take you there, okay?"
"But I want to see my mother, I..."
Xiaobao came over and took her little hand: "Okay, don't make trouble, brother will play with you."
"Brother Chen..."
"How about we go play in the snow? I can make a snowman!" Without giving Yueyue a chance to speak, he pulled Yueyue and ran out. The maid and mother-in-law didn't dare to stop her, so she could only watch helplessly. .
Yao Niang immediately stood up and hurriedly followed out: "This child is really, it's so cold, how can he play in the snow. He is so skinny and lawless, His Highness is used to it!"
Yao Niang chased her out in a hurry, and Yuchan Hongsi and others could only keep up.
Going outside, Yao Niang said to Yu Chan very quickly: "Let An Eleven go and see what's going on. If possible, it's best to win over Qiao."
Yu Chan nodded understandingly.
While he was talking, the servants of Zhen Guo Gongfu also gathered around him. Because Yuchan was a servant, no one paid attention to her, so she stepped aside, while Yao Niang pretended to stand aside and watched Xiaobao and Yueyue play in the snow, and even said something naughty.
After a while, Yu Chan came to Yao Niang.
Yao Niang naturally understood what she meant and raised her voice: "Xiaobao, stop playing. How did you promise me just now?"
Xiaobao has been looking for opportunities to talk to Yueyue, so he doesn't care about her. Yao Niang shook her head helplessly and told the girl beside her: "Take the young master back to the house, be careful of catching cold." Then she said to Bai's mother: "I wonder if there is a wedding room here?"
Mother Bai hurriedly ordered people to lead Yao Niang there, with Yu Chan waiting by her side.
After entering Gong's room, the girl who led the way was guarding outside, while Yu Chan and Yao Niang went in.
Yu Chan whispered: "Madam, I'm afraid Mrs. Qiao is not good. An Eleven said that she is very ill and the yard is lifeless. He listened to your words and specifically informed Mrs. Qiao of his purpose. Mrs. Qiao didn't seem to be interested. I have no intention of leaving, I just want to say thank you, madam, and say that she doesn’t have much time left to live, so I want you to leave her alone.”
After hearing this, Yao Niang was shocked. What could make Qiao, a well-educated and gentle person, say such a thing? This is obviously because he has the intention to die.
What happened? Or is her illness so serious that she has lost the will to live?
"Did she say anything else?"
"Mrs. Qiao said, if I can ask you to help take care of Miss Yueyue, she said that Brother Xin is protected by his grandmother and he is a man, so anything will be fine. Miss Yueyue is a girl, and she really can't let go. , if there is an afterlife, she will tie a grass ring around her head."
"That's all?"
Yu Chan nodded.
Yao Niang's hands tightened and tightened, and various thoughts ran through her mind. It wasn't until the questioning voice of the girl leading the way came from outside that she hurriedly pretended to have finished removing her hands and pushed the door open.
On the other side, Xiaobao was anxious. He wanted to find a chance to talk to Yueyue, but there was always someone watching around him. He had a hunch that something must have happened to Mrs. Qiao, otherwise Mrs. Zhen Guo would not be so cautious about her affairs.
A long time passed, and Yao Niang could not stay in the Duke's mansion forever, so she could only say goodbye.
But Xiaobao didn't want to leave, insisting on taking Yueyue home to play. Yao Niang had no choice but to ask Bai's mother if she could bring Yueyue to Prince Jin's Mansion for a few days, and said she would take good care of her.
Here, Xiaobao was making a big fuss, just barely rolling on the ground, while over there, Mama Bai went to report to Mrs. Zhen Guogong.
As soon as this happened, the Duke of Zhenguo lost her patience. She waved her hands with an old face and said in annoyance: "Let them take it away!"
"But the old lady——"
Of course Mrs. Zhen Guogong knew what Mother Bai was worried about. She said: "What can a little girl know? Besides, I didn't do anything scandalous. She has this disease, so I covered it up for her." Our family is good, and it is for the good of her two children, but the good people did not do it, but ended up in a bad situation. Let them take Yue Yatou away, and I will order someone to pick her up in two days."
"If the eldest girl said something, let people listen to it——" Mother Bai hesitated.
"So what if you listen to it? It's not our Sun family that's causing trouble. It's one of seven serious diseases. If Concubine Su is not afraid of causing Qiao's divorce, she can go ahead and talk about it."
Hearing this, Mama Bai stopped trying to dissuade her. Originally, it would be best if this matter could be covered up. If it really couldn't be covered up, it wouldn't be a big problem for the Duke's Mansion.
After getting into the car, Yao Niang finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Before Xiaobao could ask, Yueyue said: "Brother Chen, please help me to save my mother. They say that my mother is a tuberculosis ghost. I want to see my mother, but they won't let me see her. Grandma." They don’t like me, those girls and women don’t like me, I can’t see my mother, I’m so scared..."
Yao Niang's heart thumped, and she finally understood what Mr. Qiao would say.
Could it be a tuberculosis ghost? She had obviously seen Mr. Qiao a few days ago, and he didn't look like he was suffering from tuberculosis. Why did he become like this in such a short period of time?
When King Jin came back from the Ministry of Industry, Yao Niang walked around him. After hesitating for a long time, she still told him about the matter.
"Then what do you want to do?"
Yao Niang hesitated, "I don't know either, I just think it's definitely not that simple. Mrs. Qiao was fine a while ago, how long did it take for her to become so ill?"
King Jin did not speak.
Yao Niang rambled on, and then said to him: "Let me tell you, I hope I am overthinking it. You don't know that some mothers-in-law abuse their daughters-in-law, and they can be very ruthless. The one where I used to live In the alley, there is a little daughter-in-law. Her mother-in-law makes her work every day without giving her food. The little daughter-in-law is very pitiful. In addition, I am thinking that if Qiao really gets this disease, I wonder if there is a way to cure it. Can Liu Can a good doctor help me? Qiao is a very good person. If Yueyue loses her mother, I..."
Seeing that she was in a low mood, King Jin patted her hand reassuringly: "Okay, don't think too much about it. I'll send someone to deliver a message to Sun Mang. If there are any differences, he will naturally solve them. As for other matters... ..." He pondered for a moment, "Let's not talk about it for now."
"Will it cause you any trouble?" This is the main reason for Yao Niang's hesitation.
Of course it will cause trouble, but since she wants to, it is not trouble.
"You don't care about this matter, I will take care of it."
*
Lan Ruo Pavilion is really as lifeless as An Eleven said.
Since the courtyard was sealed, all the servants who could get out that day had left. Qiao had a kind-hearted nature and could not do anything to embarrass others, so he did not spare them.
There used to be dozens of maids and women in the courtyard, but now there are only a few left.
As for Mrs. Qiao, only two girls, Ru Meng and Ru Hua, are still left, and even some of the dowry girls brought by Mrs. Qiao from Jiangnan are gone, so I won’t go into details here.
There is another person, and that is Qiao Xiuli.
Since she found out that the courtyard was closed, she came to Lanruo Pavilion and would rather not leave without being able to get in. She just stayed by Qiao's side to help serve her, but in fact she wasn't asked to do anything. Mrs. Qiao knew very well that she didn't want to be a drag on anyone, so she wouldn't let Qiao Xiuli get her hands on anything other than serving her like a dream and a picture. At most, she would accompany him to talk, and such times were rare.
The doors and windows were tightly closed. It was obviously daytime, but it seemed like it was dark.
There was only one lamp lit in the room, which was dim.
Qiao Xiuli cried loudly: "Sister Yan, don't think too much about it. You also have Brother Xin and Yueyue. What if you have two children? Logically speaking, we should be younger sisters. You shouldn't say such things, but think about it, if you die, your brother-in-law will definitely marry again. There are so many tricks in this kind of prince's family. How can he be good to the two children in the future? So you must take good care of them. of..."
Qiao had no strength at all and didn't even want to move, but her mind was still spinning uncontrollably.
She misses Sun Meng, she can’t let him go, and she can’t let go of her two children...
Yes, if she really dies, Sun Meng will definitely marry again. Her mother-in-law really wants to marry him a daughter of a high family. In recent years, although she didn't do those scandalous things, she also heard a lot of all kinds of gossip. Maybe her Xin brother will be abandoned, maybe her Yueyue will be married to an undesirable family. Although she entrusted Concubine Su to take care of her, she was an outsider after all...
No, she can't die. Even if she wants to die, she must make proper arrangements for her two children before she dies.
Her eyes couldn't help but fall on Qiao Xiuli. These days, she can also see that she is a good person. In the past, she felt a little contempt for the other party's flattery, but now she has completely turned into gratitude.
"Sister Li, if I ask you to take care of my two children, will you be willing?"
"Sister Yan, what did you say? What do you mean?" Qiao Xiuli clenched her hand tightly, but she was shouting in her heart, it's coming, it's finally coming, she has arranged so much, it's a waste of time I have put so much thought into this, just waiting for this.
"I'm afraid I won't live for long. If you can agree, I will write to daddy to ask you to live in his name. I will tell the gangster and ask him to marry you. I hope you can..."
The rest of the words disappeared in the air amid a roaring sound.
Sun Meng came in with a chill all over his body, "I won't marry anyone, please put this idea away from me!"
Qiao Xiuli jumped up involuntarily like a frightened grasshopper.
Why is the prince back?
Before Mrs. Qiao could say anything else, she saw Sun Meng turning around. He eagerly but respectfully held his hands in his hands: "Mr. Liu, please take a look."
"You're welcome, Your Majesty, I'm no longer an imperial doctor a long time ago."
While talking, Dr. Liu Liang walked in.
The author has something to say: Five words floating in the sky are nothing to worry about. Liu Liangyi comes on stage with his own BGM

I know that some little fairies don't like the nonsense of the Zhenguo Palace. After torturing Little Qiao immediately, they can step down and bow.
Thinking of the little fairy who comes out to save people, are you sure you want to do this? That would be magical. As for Da Huahua knocking over great-grandfather's tea, you can think of it as Shen Tai's provocation and irritating Grandma Cat, so Grandma Cat taught him a lesson and planned to slap some big-eared melon seeds on him, so she took the opportunity to save great-grandfather. Qiao's side is clueless, and little Huahua only wants to be coquettish and flirtatious with King Jin at the moment, and she doesn't have the time to do it.
