Quick Wear: The Stunning Beauty is Forbidden to Be Pampered
Chapter 145 World 3: The Emperor Who Has No Heir Seizes His Minister’s Wife (24)
Song Lingxi smiled sweetly at him. The dimples on her lips were so adorable that one wanted to pinch them and made one's heart soften. However, Yi Changfeng suddenly lowered his head, not daring to look at her again.
Xie Changling couldn't stand seeing other men being shy in front of Song Lingxi. He also keenly noticed that Yi Changfeng's ears were all red. This... if this isn't seduction, what is it?
The Prime Minister's wife understood her son well. Xie Changling had a strong possessiveness since he was a child. He once had a cat that no one else could touch.
Not to mention Song Lingxi, who is even more important to Xie Changling. If anyone dares to covet her, she is sure that Xie Changling will make the other person suffer miserably.
So the Prime Minister's wife smiled gently and said, "Please sit down, why are you still standing? Sit down."
Upon hearing this, several people returned to their seats and sat on both sides. Xie Changling began to peel peaches for Song Lingxi. It was June and the peaches were already ripe.
Xie Changling peeled the peach skin, revealing the tender and delicious peach flesh inside. Some juice accidentally flowed down the back of his hand. Seeing this, Song Lingxi immediately took a handkerchief to wipe it for him.
Seeing Song Lingxi's quick reaction, Xie Changling began to smile, but he did not avoid it. Instead, he spoke softly.
"Xi'er, try this peach. It's grown in the farm. It's juicy, sweet and sour. Father specially ordered it to be grown in the farm for mother. Try this, too."
Hearing him say this, the Prime Minister's wife immediately understood what he meant. This petty-minded man was secretly showing his affection to his wife.
But when she glanced at Yi Changfeng, she saw a hint of bitterness on his face. Her eyes flashed and she also spoke along the way.
"Yes, Lingxi, Ling'er is right. Try it and see if you like it. If you like it, I'll pick more and send them to your room in the future."
Originally, Song Lingxi didn't plan to eat it. After all, the peach juice would easily dirty her hands and get on her clothes, which was really indecent.
But since her mother-in-law said so, she could only nod in agreement, and then reached out to take it, wanting to hold the peeled peach in the palm of her hand.
Unexpectedly, when Song Lingxi reached out her hand, Xie Changling dodged it. Facing Song Lingxi's puzzled look, he began to explain.
"The peaches will easily get your sleeves wet, so I'll just hold them and Xier can have a couple of bites."
As Xie Changling said this, he used his slender arm to pass the peach to Song Lingxi's lips, his eyes smiling and full of eager anticipation, expecting Song Lingxi's appreciation.
A hint of red quickly appeared on Song Lingxi's cheeks, as red as rouge, adding a touch of color to her little face, making her very attractive.
There was a hint of shyness in her eyes, but looking at his eager gaze, she still took a small bite.
"How is it? Do you like the taste?"
Xie Changling saw her small lilac tongue that was accidentally exposed. From his perspective, the small tongue was bright red and very beautiful, which made his mouth dry.
Song Lingxi nodded shyly. It tasted really good. The blush on her face became brighter and brighter, as if she was a ripe peach that made people want to take a bite.
“I like it, but I don’t want to eat it yet.”
Song Lingxi was almost crying with anxiety. She felt as if her husband was laughing at her just now. This was really too embarrassing in public.
Xie Changling saw the anxiety in Song Lingxi's eyes and knew that he had teased her too much, so he quickly comforted her and said, "Okay, okay, I won't chase you to feed you, I'll eat by myself."
Xie Changling ate all the peaches in no time, taking two or three bites, without any disgust that the peaches were bitten by Song Lingxi, and his attitude became even more ambiguous.
He Xiangning, the prime minister's wife who witnessed this scene, and Li Xiuxiu, who was sitting next to her, looked at each other with smiles in their eyes, and both sighed in their hearts that it is better to be young.
At the same time, Yi Changfeng, who was sitting opposite them, had a hint of bitterness in his eyes and felt uncomfortable, but he could not show it at all and could only cover it up by drinking tea.
Xie Changling finally felt at peace. He just couldn't bear to see his wife coveted by other men. Did he think he was dead? Humph, he should teach this man a lesson!
However, Xie Changling forgot, but Song Lingxi did not. She still remembered her aunt and others. In her previous life, they passed away this year. It was said that they died of illness.
After being reborn, she wanted her aunt and the others to avoid their original fate, so she spoke first, her voice sweet and soft, making everyone feel comfortable.
"Mother, my aunt's legs and feet are not in good condition. Can you please find a doctor to see her? And my cousin——"
Before Song Lingxi finished speaking, the Prime Minister's wife took over the conversation. She didn't dare let the girl continue talking. If Ling'er really remembered it, it would destroy the relationship between the couple.
"Okay, I had this plan in mind. By the way, Xiuxiu, what's wrong with Changfeng's body? He's so thin, and your legs..."
As He Xiangning spoke, her voice became lower and lower, for fear of touching on her friend's sad story. Anyone who had such an experience would not be able to survive, but Xiuxiu was still struggling to hold on. She really admired her.
At the same time, she felt very sad. Her good sister who grew up with her was now living such a miserable life. She could not hide her feelings.
"Let's let the court doctor take a look first. Does Xiuxiu agree?"
Li Xiuxiu nodded, her eyes slightly red. It had been a long time since she had been cared for like this. Ever since the accident at her grandparents' house, the world had become indifferent.
"Thank you, Xiang Ning. Fortunately, I met you and Xi'er found us. You are all benefactors of Feng'er and me. I will never forget your kindness."
Li Xiuxiu has never shed a tear since her leg was broken. Her strong character has enabled her to survive all the ups and downs over the years.
But now, she suddenly didn't have to hold herself together anymore. The string that had been tense all the time suddenly broke, and tears immediately poured down like heavy rain.
"Mother--"
"Xiuxiu..."
"aunt!"
Seeing that everyone in the room was looking at her with concern, Li Xiuxiu felt an indescribable feeling of being touched. She waved her hand and said, "I'm fine."
At this time, the servant had brought the court doctor over. The old doctor was in good health and walked faster than the young servant, he said disdainfully.
"Young man, is the Prime Minister abusing you and not giving you enough food to eat?"
The waiter was so anxious that he was sweating profusely. He had no time to chat with him: "Sir, please stop talking nonsense. The lady is looking for you. She said that there is a distinguished guest who needs you."
The old doctor, however, still had a childish heart. Besides, he didn't think there was anything particularly urgent. Besides, he walked faster than the boy.
"Well, young people should exercise more and eat more. I'll talk to my wife later and ask her to increase your food intake and work harder."
The servant was in tears. He was willing to eat more, but did he want him to work more? Forget it.
When they arrived at the main hall, the servant rushed in to report first. He couldn't let the old doctor get there first this time. He came to the lady and said, "Madam, the palace doctor is here."
The prime minister's wife immediately invited people over. She looked at Li Xiuxiu, who waved her hand quickly: "Let's see Feng'er first. He has been in worse health recently. I have only old problems, so they are not serious."
The Prime Minister's wife nodded, and when the court doctor came in, she said directly: "Please, doctor, take a look at this young master first."
The court doctor received the order and looked at the young master in white. Seeing that he looked pale and his blood and qi were deficient, he looked somewhat like Xie Changling in the past. He began to take his pulse.
The more he felt the patient's pulse, the more his brows furrowed. It took nearly half an hour. After feeling the pulse of the left hand, he began to feel the pulse of the right hand. Finally, he was sure and took back the medicine pillow and handkerchief.
"how?"
The Prime Minister's wife didn't say anything, but Li Xiuxiu was extremely anxious.
……
Her child has been weaker than the average child since birth, and the doctors said it was just developmental delay and would get better as he grew up.
As he got older, Feng'er's health didn't improve. He had to rely on some expensive medicines to stay alive, but he still coughed all day long.
The most infuriating thing is that after seeing almost all the best doctors in the capital, even inviting the imperial physician twice, none of them could figure out what was wrong with Yi Changfeng, and couldn't find the cause.
Later, she heard from the doctor that the feng shui of Jiangnan was good for health and might alleviate Feng'er's symptoms. Thinking that her maternal grandparents' home was also there, she took her things and went back.
After arriving in the south of the Yangtze River, Yi Changfeng's health actually improved due to the warm and humid climate. Just when she was extremely happy, her grandfather's family was targeted by wealthy and corrupt officials in the south of the Yangtze River.
She didn't know it at first, and her family kept it a secret from her, but the truth could not be hidden. One day, the pressure on her grandfather became too great and he became terminally ill.
Only then did Li Xiuxiu realize that it was the corrupt officials who put pressure on her grandfather to hand over some "filial piety money". Her grandfather was a businessman, and the last thing he lacked was money.
So they had been showing filial respect to them all the time. Unexpectedly, the arrival of Li Xiuxiu made these corrupt officials feel like they had caught a big fat sheep. The "filial respect money" became more and more, and if they didn't pay it one day, they would suppress the Li family's business.
After Li Xiuxiu found out, she could only give more money at first. Later, the money became less and less, and the Li family was almost squeezed dry by them. They could only resist helplessly and grit their teeth and refuse to pay.
Seeing that there was no profit to be made, that group of people spared no effort to suppress them. The Li family soon showed signs of decline, and my grandfather died in hatred in this silent smoke of war.
My maternal grandfather's family only has one direct branch, and the rest are side branches, some of which are distant relatives. Therefore, if something happens to the Li family, I have to bear the consequences myself.
In order to save the Li family, Li Xiuxiu went to ask the county magistrate for help, but it didn't work. Officials in Jiangnan protected each other, and if you sued one person, another would soon come and suppress you.
Li Xiuxiu reported the case to the police and her legs were almost broken, but the county magistrate still sentenced her to false accusation and put her in jail. She missed the best time to treat her legs and became disabled for life.
The Li family soon fell, and when she was released from prison, some of the side branches took the last bit of money and ran away. Fortunately, Feng'er was still alive, but she was dying and almost died.
