"What doctor? Yao Yao is at home. No doctor is as useful as her." Pei Shi said, taking the child from Su Xiaoxiao's arms. "Yao Yao, look at him."
Ye Zhen glanced at Su Xiaoxiao and looked down at the chubby child in Pei Shi's arms. His face was red because he was crying too hard.
"Brother Lan, what's wrong?" Ye Zhen took his hand, put her fingertips on his pulse, and asked with a smile.
"It's normal for children to cry a little. He will be fine after a while." Su Xiaoxiao said, trying to take her son back.
Pei Shi frowned. "Xiaoxiao, I used to practice medicine. Brother Lan doesn't look like he's crying. He doesn't look like this."
Brother Lan didn't answer Ye Zhen's words at all, but cried louder and louder.
"Mother, give me Brother Lan." Ye Zhen said.
Su Xiaoxiao looked at Ye Zhen with a slight frown, and a complicated feeling welled up in her heart.
"It should be a stomachache. His hand has been scratching his stomach." Ye Zhen said. "Did he eat something?"
"Just a little pumpkin porridge in the morning." Su Xiaoxiao said. "The servants dare not give him anything."
At this time, a maid trembled and said, "Mistress, Brother Lan secretly ate a piece of chestnut cake."
Su Xiaoxiao's face changed slightly. "Why are you looking at the young master?"
Ye Zhen said, "I'll get the medicine and give it to Brother Lan. It should be a little indigestion and a stomachache."
"I'll hold the child. You go get the medicine." Pei Shi said with a sullen face.
"Good." Ye Zhen gave the child to Pei Shi. Because of Pei Shi's relationship, there was always a pharmacy at home, and it was very convenient for Ye Zhen to dispense the medicine.
Su Xiaoxiao walked over with her head down. "Mother, Brother Lan is too heavy. Let me hold him."
Pei Shi handed the child to her and looked at Su Xiaoxiao calmly. "Even if Yao Yao is no longer the Empress, she is still the grandaunt of the family and Brother Lan's aunt."
"Mother …" Su Xiaoxiao's face was pale, and her mouth trembled a few times. She looked at Pei Shi nervously.
"She just cares about Brother Lan." Pei Shi said lightly.
Su Xiaoxiao was nervous and afraid. In fact, she didn't have any thoughts about Ye Zhen, but … seeing Ye Zhen reminded her of Ming Yu. She felt sad and aggrieved for Ming Yu. It was inevitable that her emotions could not be concealed. Unexpectedly, Pei Shi saw through it at a glance.
"Whether it's me or Xiangzhi, we both see Yaoyao as our family." Pei shi's tone was heavy.
Su Xiaoxiao mumbled, "Mom, I know. I just thought of Mingyu …"
"Mingyu does not need you to feel wronged for her. You don't know what happened to Yaoyao, so how do you know that she deliberately abandoned Mingyu? You don't know anything, don't make things difficult for Xiang Zhi. "Pei Shi said coldly.
"Mother, I know I was wrong," Su Xiao said.
Pei Shi glanced at her. She had always been very satisfied with this daughter-in-law. Not only was she gentle, but she was also filial and obedient. Today, probably because Brother Lan had been crying and was in a bad mood, seeing Ye Zhen reminded her of Ming Yu's loneliness in the past two years.
She softened her tone. "You're a mother now. You should understand how Yaoyao feels."
"Yes." Su Xiaoxiao answered in a low voice.
Ye Zhen was standing silently on the other side of the corridor at this time, still some distance from the room, but she could clearly hear the conversation between Pei shi and Su Xiaoxiao. This was the benefit of cultivation.
Today, she felt that Su Xiaoxiao's attitude towards her was a little strange.
Mingyu used to like Su Xiaoxiao very much and always said that she wanted to go out of the palace to find her aunt. Su Xiaoxiao pitied Mingyu and thought that she had abandoned Mingyu, so she resisted her in her heart.
Ye Zhen smiled and shook her head. She did not feel angry. Someone cared so much about her daughter. It could be seen that in the past four years, Mingyu was not so helpless.
"Mother, the medicine is ready." Ye Zhen spoke before entering the room.
Pei shi glanced at Su Xiaoxiao, and neither of them spoke again.
"Yaoyao, feed Brother Lan the medicine." Pei shi urged.
"Okay." Ye Zhen nodded with a smile and fed the medicine to Brother Lan. She added spirit spring water to it, so it should not hurt soon.
After drinking the medicine, Brother Lan stopped crying and fell asleep in Su Xiaoxiao's arms.
"Finally, he stopped crying." Pei shi breathed a sigh of relief and smiled at Ye Zhen. "You have a way."
"The child cried all the time. He must be uncomfortable somewhere." Ye Zhen said, "Go to sleep with the child."
Su Xiaoxiao glanced at Ye Zhen and whispered, "Thank you … Grandaunt."
Ye Zhen smiled faintly. "Don't be too polite. We are all family."
"That's right. There is no need to thank a family." Pei shi said with a smile.
At this time, a maid came in from outside and reported that the master had returned.
"Brother is back, so Ah Zhan should be back too. I'll go find him first." Ye Zhen said.
When Ye Zhen went out, she happened to meet Lu Xiangzhi, who was striding towards her.
"Yaoyao, how is Brother Lan?" Lu Xiangzhi asked nervously. As soon as he entered the house, he heard that Brother Lan was crying, so he hurried to see him.
"He's much better. Fortunately, Yaoyao is here." Pei shi said with a smile.
Ye Zhen asked, "Brother, did Ah Zhan come back with you?"
"He stayed in King Qin's Mansion and didn't come back." Lu Xiangzhi said.
"Then … I'll go find him." Ye Zhen thought for a moment.
Pei shi still wanted to talk to her daughter tonight, but since Mo Rongzhan stayed in King Qin's Mansion, she couldn't leave Yaoyao behind. "Then you go find the son-in-law first. Come back home tomorrow."
Ye Zhen smiled and nodded. "Okay."
Watching Ye Zhen leave, Pei shi said faintly, "You go see your son. I should go too."
"Mother, what's wrong?" Lu Xiangzhi noticed that Pei shi's tone was not quite right and asked in a low voice.
"It's nothing. Let's go see Brother Lan." Pei Shi said lightly and left without saying anything else.
Lu Xiangzhi frowned and walked into the house. Su Xiaoxiao came out to greet him.
"Where is Brother Lan?" Lu Xiangzhi asked.
"He's already asleep. Did mother leave?" Su Xiaoxiao took off Lu Xiangzhi's brocade robe. Her face was still tense, looking very nervous.
Lu Xiangzhi held her hand. "What happened?"
Su Xiaoxiao glanced at him and told him in a low voice that she couldn't control her emotions just now. "… I just feel wronged for Mingyu. Such a young child without a mother."
"Do you think Yaoyao is a person who is willing to leave a child?" Lu Xiangzhi asked in a deep voice. "Xiaoxiao, you don't understand the truth."
"I already know I was wrong." Su Xiaoxiao whispered.
Lu Xiangzhi patted her on the shoulder. "Yaoyao is a generous person. She won't take it to heart. The next time I see her, I'll explain it to her."
