My sister must marry someone else? Why are you crying when I marry the King of War?

Xiaoqu is a simple-minded person and easy to coax, so it's possible that Xiaoxing might have tampered with the medicine while she was not paying attention.

If it was Qian Rui who was boiling the medicine, given her straightforward character, it would be impossible for Xiao Xing to get her away from the furnace where the medicine was boiling.

If she insisted, it would seem very strange and it would be hard not to arouse suspicion.

Lin Yulan was relieved to know that Shao Xun was paying so much attention to Xiao Xing, "It turns out that the Marquis has also noticed that something is wrong with her."

Shao Xun sneered disdainfully: "She may look honest, but her eyes are restless! Qian Rui will secretly keep an eye on her, so Madam, please don't eat or wear anything she handles."

Lin Yulan smiled and said, "I understand this, but I wouldn't dare to do that either."

If she hadn't had the experience in her previous life, she might have fallen for it, but not now.

Lin Yulan's eyes inadvertently slid across the empty medicine bowl, and she was quite satisfied.

Shao Xun raised his eyebrows and said, "This medicine is not suitable for the condition. I would never let Madam drink it. Qian Rui will bring another medicine to you in the evening. That's what you should drink."

Lin Yulan: “…”

"After all, you have a head injury, so you should take some of this medicine. Don't worry, the medicine prepared by Qian Rui is very reliable."

When Lin Yulan recalled that moment, she felt a little uneasy and her head started to ache. Well, she would just take the medicine, otherwise it would be bad if there were any sequelae.

"My Lord," Madam Qi asked carefully through the door, "The old lady sent someone to invite the Lord and Madam to come over to talk."

Shao Xun's eyes were full of sarcasm. He held down Lin Yulan and did not allow her to get up. "Madam, take a good rest and have a good sleep. I will have dinner with you tonight. You are exhausted today. Have a good sleep."

Nothing in this mansion could be hidden from them. It was impossible for them not to know that his wife was not feeling well and that he was the one who carried her down from the carriage and carried her all the way back to Chunhui Garden. How could he ask her to go and talk?

Lin Yulan's heart softened and she nodded. She couldn't help but hold his wrist again and reminded him softly, "My Lord, the Marquis has received a message from the Emperor today. He will report to the Five Military Commander's Office early tomorrow morning. Greet the old lady and come back quickly to pack your things."

Shao Xun understood, patted her hand gently and chuckled: "Don't worry, I will be back soon and won't argue with them."

He understood that she was afraid that he would have a quarrel with the old woman, his second uncle and his second aunt, so she was reminding him indirectly.

The emperor summoned them today and rewarded them with a job. Each of them was what they wanted but couldn't get. How could they not be jealous?

Besides, I haven't been there for several years, but I had such luck this year. My second uncle goes there every year, but he made a big fool of himself last year, so he simply didn't go this year.

Well, the contrast is really terrible.

They will be even more annoyed.

In the past, if I had quarreled with them, rumors would spread that I was unfilial. If I quarreled again today, I don’t know what rumors would spread.

But things are different now. The emperor just said he wanted to use me, but then news spread that I had a quarrel with my elders at home. Isn't that a slap in the emperor's face?

After all, the emperor had just told me to fight for my dignity.

Lin Yulan's face was slightly hot. It was not right to withdraw her hand voluntarily, nor was it right not to withdraw it voluntarily. She could only pretend that she didn't notice it and urged him, "My Lord, go quickly."

Shao Xun smiled and couldn't help but whispered: "Madam, you can actually be more straightforward."

It was clearly well-intentioned, but the reminder was too subtle. Fortunately, he was very smart, so he understood the hidden meaning of her words. If it were someone else, they would not understand. Wouldn't it be a waste of her kindness?

Lin Yulan didn't hear clearly what he said, and looked up at him with some confusion: "Hmm? What did the Marquis say? I didn't hear clearly."

Shao Xun smiled: "Nothing! Madam, take a rest."

Shao Xun's cheerful and happy mood quickly disappeared when he arrived at Yanshou Hall.

Mr. Shao was also here today. As soon as he saw Shao Xun, he glared at him. His vicious and resentful look made it seem as if Shao Xun had dug up his ancestors' graves for eight generations.

"Why are you the only one here? Where's Lin? What's wrong? You showed up in front of the emperor today, and now you're back at the mansion you're acting so arrogantly? You've never seen the world, you're so petty!"

Even though he had promised Lin Yulan that he would not argue with them, Shao Xun was still furious when he heard his second uncle's words which were clearly meant to stir up trouble.

Master Shao stared at him straight, his eyes filled with even more hatred, and sneered, "Shao Xun, what's that look in your eyes? What Lin did was wrong, and I can't say it? Is this how you treat your elders? Do you still have me, your second uncle, in your eyes? Even if I inherit the title, I am still your elder."

Fu was also sour and said sarcastically, "Yes, Ah Xun, it's not Second Aunt who is saying anything bad about you, but you can't be so unruly. For a woman with no manners and upbringing, you don't even take your second uncle seriously. How can this make sense! If the emperor knew about this, I'm afraid he would be disappointed. Wouldn't that mean you have failed the emperor's trust?"

"Will the emperor value him?" Master Shao was even more hateful. "The emperor values ​​the ancestors of our Wuwei Marquisate who have been loyal to the country and served the emperor for generations. What does a good-for-nothing like him count for? He just took advantage of the situation and happened to show it in front of the emperor, so the emperor called him in for a question! In my opinion, you should just be a good-for-nothing marquis and eat and wait for death. What kind of job do you want? Don't corrupt the atmosphere of the Five Military Commandery, don't fight and do evil things there, and lose face for the marquisate and our ancestors."

Shao Xun clenched his fists, walked straight forward, and saluted to Madam Shao, "Greetings to the old lady, Lin didn't mean to not come, she had a heat stroke today and felt uncomfortable, just saw a doctor and took medicine, it's not disrespectful to the elders, old lady, please don't misunderstand her."

Madam Shao frowned, "Her body is too weak."

Shao Xun: "The previous accident happened when the carriage was startled. The injuries may not have fully recovered yet. It's not that he is weak."

Seeing that he was completely ignored by him, Mr. Shao could not help but get even angrier and slammed the coffee table hard, "Whatever the old lady says is what it is. It's unfilial of you to talk back!"

"you--"

"Master Hou..."

Lin Yulan came in with Aunt Qi.

"Madam!" Shao Xun swallowed his breath and hurried over to support Lin Yulan, "Madam just drank the medicine, how come you are here?"

Lin Yulan leaned weakly in Shao Xun's arms. Only the two people who were in close contact could feel each other's stiffness.

She took a breath and smiled softly, "I know the Marquis will definitely explain to the old lady, and the old lady is certainly not the kind of person who is mean to the younger generation and will not deliberately embarrass me. It's just that the Emperor and the Empress summoned me today, and the Empress, the Imperial Concubine, and the Concubine Fang also rewarded me. I am happy. This is also an honor for the Marquis's Mansion. I am very willing to come here to pay my respects, and by the way, tell the old lady to be happy too."
