After returning to Yingyuan, Xia Taoyuan had dinner. While the little maids were busy cleaning up, she quietly called Zhuer upstairs to ask about Zhao's situation.

Zhu'er talked about some conversations she overheard between her father and her mother.

Before Wei Mingcheng became prime minister, he was sent to a distant place for garrison. Because the term was only two years, and his wife had just given birth to a little girl, he did not bring his family with him. A year later, the prime minister returned and brought back Mrs. Zhao, who was holding the newborn Wei Qing.

Zhu'er also heard from her mother that the prime minister ordered the lady not to cause trouble to Mrs. Zhao, otherwise he would divorce her. So although the lady was angry, she did not dare to do anything excessive. Over the years, the wife and concubine had almost no communication except for eating together on important days.

Xia Taoyuan couldn't help but sigh, her own era is still good, women work just like men, have their own income, have a guarantee of life, can stand up straight, don't have to look at the man's face. Women can divorce men without waiting for them to divorce.

After a lot of random thoughts, Xia Taoyuan fell asleep and closed her eyes. She had been dreaming all night. She dreamed that she was in a place where her grandparents were looking at her and smiling. She wanted to catch up with them, but in the blink of an eye, her grandparents disappeared. She also dreamed that she ran desperately, but she couldn't get out of that place. She couldn't find her grandparents, and she was very anxious...

When she woke up, Xia Taoyuan had a splitting headache, a dry and itchy throat, and a hot and cold body. She struggled to open her eyes, and vaguely seemed to see Chu Xingluo sitting beside her. She closed her eyes again, and she felt that she was still in a dream.

"Are you awake? Get up and drink the medicine." Chu Xingluo said softly.

Not a dream? Xia Taoyuan opened her eyes again and tried to force a smile: "When did you come? What time is it now?"

"I've been here for a while. It's already noon. I came to discuss the engagement with the prime minister. The prime minister asked someone to call you over. The maid said you were sick and had a fever, so I came here." Chu Xingluo held the medicine bowl in one hand and helped Xia Taoyuan get up and drink the medicine with the other hand.

"Where are Zhu'er and the others?" Xia Taoyuan lay down again. She felt really uncomfortable.

"They all went out when they saw me coming." Chu Xingluo covered Xia Taoyuan with the quilt.

Xia Taoyuan pulled the quilt over her face. She didn't want Chu Xingluo to see her current appearance. Chu Xingluo seemed to understand what she meant. He gently pulled the quilt down, revealing her face, and smiled lightly: "You will be suffocated in a while. I don't mind you no matter what you look like."

What kind of cheesy love talk is this? Xia Taoyuan's face turned even redder, and she didn't know if it was because of the fever or because of embarrassment. She pulled the quilt over her head to cover her face, and Chu Xingluo pulled it down for her again.

Xia Taoyuan covered her face with her hands and looked at Chu Xingluo through her fingers, "Go and discuss things with father. I'm much better now."

Chu Xingluo looked at her with interest and said softly, "Okay, since you are so anxious to get engaged, I will go discuss it with the Prime Minister." After saying that, the corners of his mouth rose slightly.

When Xia Taoyuan heard this, she wondered what he meant. What did he mean by "I am in a hurry to get engaged?" She put down her hand and was about to question Chu Xingluo, but found that he had already left.

At this time, several maids came up, each holding a tray. Little maid Dai'er put down the tray and ran over excitedly: "Miss, what did Prince Jing say to you? He looks in a good mood."

"Yes, I've met Prince Jing several times before, and he always looked cold and aloof as if he wouldn't let anyone approach him. But today he seems to be very happy." Zhu'er also joked.

The girls were talking to each other, and Xia Taoyuan pretended to be cold and said, "You guys are a bunch of traitors, why don't you care about me?"

"What can you do, young lady? After meeting Prince Jing, your voice is so loud that it can be heard through the roof. How can you still look sick?" Cui'er said, looking up. Several little girls laughed.

Xia Taoyuan thought to herself: These girls are lawless, but then she thought, isn't it because I spoiled them? The master and servant laughed and joked for a while, and Zhu'er showed Xia Taoyuan what they had just brought up. They were some snacks brought by Prince Jing. Xia Taoyuan muttered: They treat me like a pig, sending me food every day.

Being sick made one's body weak, and after all the commotion, Xia Taoyuan felt tired again, so he lay down and fell into a deep sleep again.
