There was a round-faced granny waiting at the door of the courtyard. She was about her age. When she saw her coming, she greeted her with a smile.
Granny Du said to the nanny waiting there, âNanny Xu, the County Princess gave the County Lord something called the Immortal Pill. The County Lord said that he would panic if he didnât eat it for a day. When he came back, I saw that he was still yawning. Just as he returned to the entrance of the residence, the County Lord asked her to get something. The County Princess didnât let anyone follow her.â
Granny Xu nodded and stuffed a pouch into her hand. âNanny Du, keep an eye on her. Master said that you will benefit.â
Granny Du smiled and took the pouch. She said politely, âThank you, Master!â Nanny Xu smiled and nodded. She turned around and entered the courtyard.
Granny Du happily pinched the silver in her purse and put it in her pocket as she walked back. Thinking of what had happened in front of Lord Zhouâs manor today, she felt that the new princess consort was just an ignorant country girl. The royal prince was already so old.
Granny Xu returned to the main room and reported to the heir and his wife, âHeir Lord, Crown Princess, Granny Du said that the Princess Consort fed the royal prince â¦â
When the heir, Chu Yan, heard this, he was so angry that he slammed the table. He looked excitedly at the Crown Princess Consort, Madam Tang, who was sitting at the side. âLook, I told you! Father was unwilling to remarry for more than ten years. How can he be so muddle-headed when heâs old? It was that vixen siren who used some method to bewitch him. Look, itâs indeed not beyond my expectations.â
He did not expect that bitch to have such methods. He had to figure out what she had fed the Royal Prince.
âMaster, I think I have to think of a way to get that thing out of a jar and bring it to the imperial physician for an examination to find out what it isâ
âWe canât search Fatherâs room.â Chu Yan looked at Granny Xu and said, âGo and tell Granny Du that as long as she helps steal that thing, Iâll let her family go and help them settle down in Lin County.â
âYes, Lord.â Granny Xu bowed and left for Duke Fuâs courtyard.
Li Yu returned to the hot spring and saw Zhou Jia sitting on a bamboo chair by the pool with Yueyue and Xingxing in his arms. Yangyang kept splashing water at Zhou Jia and the other two. Yueyue and Xingxing were so happy that they danced and giggled.
Li Yu stood at the side and watched happily as the father and sons played. Yangyang turned around and saw Li Yu. He smiled and waved at her. âMother, come quickly!â
âI said that your father will bring you guys to play today. I want to rest well.â
Li Yu smiled and went to the pool at the side. She went into the water and swam a few rounds. She leaned against the stone pillow beside the pool and closed her eyes to rest.
Yangyang quietly approached the hot spring pool at the side and quietly approached Li Yu. He suddenly jumped into the pool and splashed Li Yuâs face.
Li Yu smiled and pointed at Yangyang. âYoung brat, just you wait. Letâs see how I deal with you today!â
Yangyangâs sneak attack was successful. He looked at Li Yu proudly. âHaha! Mother, you canât catch me.â
Yueyue and Xingxing reached out to Li Yu and cried out. They also wanted to go into the water to play.
Zhou Jia smiled and said to Li Yu, âAfter Xingâer grew up, he looked much livelier, especially when he saw Yangâer.â
âThatâs right! I was worried that he was a little old man!â Li Yu kissed the two of them and took the Xingxing. She raised him and swam in the water. The little guy was not afraid of the water at all. His feet kept drawing water and he chuckled at Yangyang.
When Yueyue saw this, he panicked. He pointed at the pool and slapped Zhou Jia, crying out.
âAnxious little baddie.â Zhou Jia smiled and kissed him before carrying him into the water.
Yangyang smiled and kept waving at the two of them. âCome on! Come and chase after me!â
âOh, oh, oh. Letâs go after my brother.â
Li Yu smiled and swam away. Laughter and joy filled the pool.
The family played in the manor until the evening before leaving. Just as they reached home, Zhao Cai welcomed them anxiously. âMaster, something happened at the old residence.â
Zhou Jia looked at Zhao Cai anxiously. âWhat happened?â
Li Yu felt that something big had happened when she saw his expression. âZhao
Cai, accompany Master over to take a look first. Iâll come over later.â
âYes, Madam.â Zhao Cai got into the car. âMaster, donât be anxious. Iâll tell you what happened. â
Zhou Jia quickly jumped into the carriage and looked at Zhao Cai. He heard him say, âTwo hours ago, Second Young Master brought two brokers to the old residence to look at the house. He said that he wanted to sell his share. Old Master said that he was disobedient and unfilial by selling the ancestral residence. He said Second Young Master didnât have a share in the house and chased away the two brokers.
Before Second Young Master left, he spat at Old Master. In a fit of anger, Old Master slapped him. Second Young Master then knocked Old Master to the ground. Old Master fell back and hit the stone steps. The old woman cooking realized that he was unconscious on the ground.
After helping him up, she realized that his head was broken and bleeding. She hurriedly sent him to the medical center. The doctor dealt with it briefly and said that Old Master was injured. He asked her to send Old Master back and wait for him to wake up. After going back and waiting for an hour, Old Master was still unconscious. She hurriedly hired a carriage to look for us. After Old Master Wen went to take a look, he said that Old Masterâs head was injured. He would be fine when he woke up tomorrow morning. If he couldnât wake â¦â
Why did something happen when he was just a little better? Why did the heavens have to be so cruel? Zhou Jia felt that if the gods were to let Old Master Zhou go, it might have been better to leave him unrepentant and unreformed.
âMaster, donât worry. Old Master is a good person. He will be fine.â
Zhou Jia calmed himself down. âWhoâs guarding there now?
Zhao Cai looked at Zhou Jia worriedly. âOld Master Wen and Old Madam Yun are guarding over there.â
Li Yu changed the childrenâs clothes and fed them. She brought Yangyang to the old residence and saw Mr. Wen and Seven Pounds guarding outside the room.
âSir, howâs Old Master? Is his injury serious?â
Mr. Wen frowned. âThe injury doesnât look serious externally. I guess he fell to the ground first after falling and injured his head. From the outside, he didnât bleed much. I was just worried that there would be blood clots in his brain. I prescribed blood circulation and fed it to him. I inserted silver needles. If he doesnât wake up after tonight, weâll see when he wakes up!â
When Li Yu heard this, she thought worriedly, If he doesnât wake up, wonât he become a vegetable? In her previous life, the medical equipment was so advanced and the medical skills were so superb. Yet the technology was helpless against a vegetable. Can one be treated here?
Seeing that Mr. Wen was very tired, Li Yu said, âThank you, sir. Youâve already been tired for a day. Seven Pounds, help Sir into the room to rest for a while.â
Mr. Wen had been busy in the medical center for the entire day and felt very tired. He stood up and said to Li Yu, âDonât worry too much. We can only do our best now.â
Li Yu nodded. When Seven Pounds, who was talking to Yangyang, heard Li Yuâs words, he hurriedly helped Mr. Wen to the room at the side to rest.
Li Yu looked at Mr. Wen, who was staggering, and suddenly felt a little worried. She was afraid that these old people would leave them one after another..
