“But His Majesty couldn’t say it. I thought of a way and read out the names of the lords one by one, and asked him to blink if he agreed. Then, His Majesty chose His Highness Lord Jing.”
Shangguan Heng choked. This made sense.
“Then is it possible for my father to recover?” Shangguan Yu asked.
Imperial Physician Wu said, “I’ll do my best.”
Although Song Jingchen was suspended at home, it didn’t mean that he really cuan?c care aoout anytmng outside.
As soon as the court session ended, he received the news.
Not long after he received the news, a guest came to the house.
“Uncle Xiao, why are you dressed like this?” The corners of Song Jingchen’s mouth twitched.
General Xiao was dressed in rough cloth and carried a bundle of firewood on his shoulder.
He threw the firewood to the ground and waved his hand. “Let’s talk in your study.”
The two of them arrived at the study. Song Jingchen asked someone to serve tea again. Before he could speak, he asked, “Uncle Xiao, are you here about Lord Jing’s Overseer role?”
General Xiao did not ask him how he knew that Lord Jing was going to supervise the country. He shook his head. “I Imow that you have a plan to deal with that. I am here today to ask you how to deal with that Feng person in my mansion. ”
He couldn’t let his wife and daughter stay in the Yue family forever. Song Jingchen didn’t expect him to disguise himself for this. He asked, “Has she done anything recently?”
Actually, so many things have happened recently. Shen Yijia did not mention
Yuan Yuwan in front of him, and he had almost forgotten about Feng Manman. General Xiao glared at him. “She didn’t, that’s why I came to ask you.”
“Since she didn’t, I might have guessed wrongly. Uncle, can’t you just let her stay in the residence?”
He was just short of saying that the Xiao family would not lack that bowl of rice.
General Xiao was speechless.
Perhaps it was because of Feng Manman that Xiao Qirui, who had been obedient, sensible, and motivated since he was young, went against him for the first time, so he disliked Feng Manman.
He really wished she could quickly catch her weakness and slap Xiao Qirui’s face so that he would be more careful.
He also wanted to tell Xiao Qirui that as his father, his taste in people was much better than Xiao Qirui.
It had to be said that Xiao Ruoshui was very similar to him in this aspect. Seeing him like this, Song Jingchen sighed and said, “Let’s wait a little longer.” General Xiao thought to himself, “It’s equivalent to not saying anything.”
Since General Xiao was already here, Song Jingchen didn’t hide Fan Mingyuan’s matter anymore. He brought him to Fan Mingyuan’s room.
After recuperating for so many days, he had already gotten out of bed and taken two steps.
When he heard that Fan Mingyuan had also met a benefactor, General Xiao felt that there was something wrong with Feng Manman, just like Song Jingchen and Shen Yijia had initially suspected.
He strengthened his resolve.
Leaving the two of them alone, Song Jingchen returned to the courtyard to accompany Shen Yijia.
He explained General Xiao’s intentions.
Shen Yijia was amused. “Although I also hope that Feng Manman will expose herself quickly, I’ve never seen anyone like General Xiao, who wants a spy to do something in the family.”
Wasn’t he afraid that she didn’t actually have ulterior motives? Wasn’t he afraid that she was really doing this for Xiao Qirui?
“By the way, MO Yuan brought in an invitation just now. Madam Qiu asked someone to send it over.” As she spoke, she pointed at the gilded invitation on the table.
Song Jingchen glanced at her but didn’t take it. He lowered his head and continued to rub her wrist. “What did it say?”
His suspension meant that he was very free every day. Then, Shen Yijia’s hands suffered.
Shen Yijia pursed her lips. “Madam Qiu wants MO Yuan to treat the old princess consort.”
She heard that Ji Yunxi had gone to look for some medicinal herbs and had not been in the capital for a while. Song Jingchen paused. “You don’t want her to go?”
Shen Yijia said, “Not really.”
Given the old prince’s seniority, even Shangguan Pu, who was in charge of the country, had no right to deal with him. He only sent soldiers to surround his residence. As for the rest, they had to wait for the emperor to wake up.
Apart from the fact that everyone in the old prince’s residence was unlucky, the most important thing was that Shen Yijia did not want to push MO Yuan to the center of the storm for an outsider.
Previously, many people had said that if they snatched another patient from Ji Yunxi…
Ji Yunxi would definitely pay attention to MO Yuan.
“Then don’t let her go.” Song Jingchen rubbed her head and said, “I think Madam Qiu has a little relationship with the old princess consort. She was asked to help, so she couldn’t refuse.”
Shen Yijia meant what she said. She would accompany Madam Qiu every day or two. With their current relationship, there was no need to send invites like this.
Madam Qiu must have sent this invite to show the old princess consort’s men. At the same time, she told Shen Yijia that MO Yuan could choose whether she wanted to go.
After hearing Song Jingchen’s explanation, Shen Yijia felt much better. If Madam Qiu really insisted that she let MO Yuan treat the old princess consort against her wishes.
Then she would accompany MO Yuan, but she would never interact with Madam Qiu again.
She would treat saving Madam Qiu’s life and the old princess consort’s life as a form of repayment, and leave it at that.
Compared to General Xiao, who was anxious to consult Song Jingchen, Yuan Yuwan was clearly more calm.
In the past few days, as long as Xiao Qirui returned to the residence, she would invite him to the courtyard for dinner. After dinner, Xiao Qirui would naturally stay in the Splendid Courtyard.
In everyone’s opinion, including You Bail s, the couple was very loving.
One could imagine how angry Feng Manman was.
Night fell. Feng Manman stood at the courtyard door and waited for a long time. Seeing that only the maidservant had returned, she frowned and asked, “My husband isn’t back yet?”
After serving her for so long, how could the maidservant not know that Feng Manman was not as kind as she looked?
She flinched. “He has returned.”
Feng Manman’s face darkened under her veil. “He went over there again?
“Yes.”
Feng Manman gritted her teeth. “Since you’re heartless, don’t blame me for being heartless.” she thought..
