Chapter 1315: Chapter 984 Minister Song Visits_4

Xiaosuisui, with an air of maturity, wrote out the prescription. Princess Lianchun thought for a moment and then ordered several people to fetch herbs from different places. By evening, Xiaosuisui finally completed the herbal remedy for protecting the pregnancy.

Upon hearing this matter, the Ji matron, who usually preferred lying down over standing, immediately came over to Xiaosuisui’s courtyard with the help of Nanny Zhang.

"What is going on? Who is trying to harm you?"

"This must be connected to the people around you. The palace connections are intricate and complex; you must be extremely careful!"

Xie Pan’Er felt touched yet aggrieved, and she burst into tears in the arms of the Ji matron.

The Ji matron quickly sent someone to call Ji Youran to take her pulse.

She was worried that Xiaosuisui, being young, might overlook some woman’s ailments.

Ji Youran checked her and found the results to be identical to Xiaosuisui’s. He even praised the herbal remedy prepared by Xiaosuisui as excellent, truly living up to his teachings.

Finally, he advised Xie Pan’Er to rest after returning, not to get angry, watch her emotions, and most importantly, not to have intercourse.

Listening to this, Xiaosuisui tilted her head and asked.

"What does intercourse mean? Does it mean others can’t be in the same room as the pretty aunt?"

Ji Youran: "..." Despite being a shameless doctor, he couldn’t explain this to Xiaosui!

Xie Pan’Er had left the palace in plain clothes, and returned quietly, but shortly after she did, Princess Lian Chun followed.

She went straight to the Empress Dowager. That night, the Empress Dowager moved her residence to Kunning Palace, dismissing everyone to inquire about the situation.

Xie Pan’Er mentioned the suspects, and the Empress Dowager patted her hand, looking kindly.

"Let this old lady handle it!

You are pregnant; accumulate blessings for the child."

Three days later, news spread in the palace of the sudden death of Concubine Shi Ning.

This news made ministers, who sent their daughters to the palace and feared that their wealth would draw the royal family’s attention, break into cold sweat.

"Who would have thought, that little girl, seemingly so young, had such deep cunning and actually hid musk in a sachet.

She even gave one to Pan’Er. If Pan’Er hadn’t found the smell unbearable and didn’t wear it, the child certainly wouldn’t have survived!"

Lady Xie, when she first heard of Shi Ning’s death, worried about her daughter and entered the palace.

Upon learning the truth, she immediately went to Ji Mansion, sat before the Ji matron, and cried.

The Ji matron sighed and said, "The matter has occurred, the person is dead, and the debt is cleared. Fortunately, Pan’Er is blessed with great fortune, the incident was discovered early, avoiding something more severe from happening, Princess Lianchun and Suisui have moved into the palace. With them there, Pan’Er is sure to turn bad luck into good."

The Ji matron seemed weary and soon Lady Xie noticed something amiss, quickly bid farewell, and left, feeling concerned.

A few days later, she received an invitation; the Ji Family was going to host a wedding banquet.

It’s to make up a wedding ceremony for Ji Youze and Ji Youlin.

The timing is very rushed.

Xiaosuisui was brought back by Ji Youcheng personally, saying Zhu Xiuxiu was six months pregnant, restless at night, wanting this little lucky star to calm the mansion!

Who knew the Emperor wouldn’t let anyone go; his wife was pregnant too! The spirits in the palace far outnumber those in Ji Mansion.

It’s noted that Ji Youcheng spent quite a bit donating to the National Treasury before successfully bringing the little girl out.

Once Xiaosuisui returned to Ji Mansion, the whole family hugged her one by one, Ji Xiyue and Ji Wenyao, the two babies still nursing, were crying, but upon hearing her voice, they stopped instantly!

Seeing them like this, Xiaosuisui fell silent.

Apparently, she really is a little expert in calming homes!

Zhu Xiuxiu immediately called for the newly available sweet melons to be brought out.

The Ji matron tried a slice, quite sweet, and offhandedly handed it to Xiaosuisui.

"Xi’Er, eat the melon quickly; it’s so sweet!"

For a moment, the room fell silent.

"Mother, who are you calling?"

The Ji matron looked at Xiaosuisui.

"Calling Xi’Er! Are your ears deaf? Couldn’t hear clearly!"

The melon in Ji Youcheng’s hand plopped onto the floor.

Quickly, he looked at Ji Youran: "Second brother..."

Ji Youran remained silent.

Outside, the steward came in to report Master Song had sent a post asking for a meeting, already in the outer courtyard Flower Hall.

The Ji family was puzzled.

"He should be looking for old eight right?

Old eight is in the cabinet at this time; why doesn’t he go there and comes to Ji Mansion instead?"

Ji Youcheng muttered, but ended up going to the Flower Hall as the man of the house.

No choice, the elder brother didn’t want to handle these chores, the second brother forgot everything after suffering nine lives, now more unreliable than even the sixth.

Trusting in him to host guests is harder than hoping he remembers past events.

At the Flower Hall, upon seeing the visitor, Ji Youcheng felt puzzled.

Song Xiang didn’t come alone but brought a woman and a child.

The woman seemed to be about twenty-five or six, the child young, around ten years old.

The woman was graceful and gentle, but signs of years of labor showed, looking somewhat aged.

Ji Youcheng became curious, wondering that the woman and child brought by Song Xiang should not be his wife and son, so why bring strangers to Ji Mansion?

"Boy, Ji Youcheng greets Master Song!"

"Owner Ji, I have always heard that the proprietor of Bright Moon Pavilion is very mysterious, with somewhat great influence, didn’t expect it to be the third son of Ji Mansion.

Meeting today, truly a talent among people!"

"You flatter me too much, but what brings Master Song here today?"

Then his gaze fell on the woman and the child.

The woman became a bit uneasy, not knowing where to put her hands when Ji Youcheng looked at her.

Song Xiang saw this and quickly introduced them.

"This is the young sister-in-law of the Zhou Family, the mother of my old student. Today, I brought them to express gratitude to the old matron.

Coincidentally, my student happens to be friends with Chang Rongshun and the Princess. They had arrangements to meet in the capital for fun. This visit should’ve happened earlier, but things got delayed, I now have time to bring them over for a visit!"

Ji Youcheng understood.

"So it’s the good sister from Ling Village playing with my wife, Zhou family’s sister-in-law!"

Ji Youcheng was delighted, with his wife recently pregnant, feeling emotionally unstable; the second brother always told him to spend more time talking with his wife, but he was too busy to manage.

"You must be Little Yanchen! Was it you who sent ducks for our Suisui to eat?"

Zhou Yanchen blinked his eyes, surprised that this extraordinarily handsome uncle knew him?

"It’s me, how does the handsome uncle know about me?"

Ji Youcheng successfully got embarrassed; his method of wearing a veil when walking outside was due to this face!

"Ahem! The child is carefree, Owner Ji, please don’t take it to heart."

Song Xiang inwardly chuckled; to him, Ji Youcheng was indeed too beautifully handsome, even surpassing those beauties!
