When Ruan Shuyan and Xie Yuchun returned to the Xie family, the doctor who took Madam Xie's pulse had already left.

Old Madam Xie was lying on the bed. When she heard the notification from outside, she immediately covered her chest.

"Ouch, my chest hurts so much, and my head feels dizzy. Yu Rui, am I going to die? Poor me, at my age, how can I celebrate my birthday and have to plan for it by myself? Woo woo woo... Why is my life so miserable..."

Xie Yurui and Chen Yuntang hurried forward to comfort them.

In the yard, Ruan Shuyan and Xie Yuchun exchanged glances and saw helplessness in each other's eyes.

"It looks like we have to make some concessions."

Xie Yuchun's eyes moved slightly: "This is my business."

Ruan Shuyan smiled and had no comment on Xie Yuchun's statement. If one wanted to gain something from her, then he would have to be prepared to try his luck.

There are some things she can give, but she will never let anyone calculate against her.

When the two men stepped into the room, Xie Yurui, who was still on the edge of the bed, noticed them and immediately rushed towards Xie Yuchun.

"You still remember to come back? As the eldest son, you didn't care about your mother's birthday, causing her to overwork herself and faint from anger. Xie Yuchun, are you worthy of your mother's hard work?"

He grabbed Xie Yuchun by the collar and pretended to attack him.

"Stop it, don't touch your brother."

A weak voice suddenly came.

Everyone's eyes shifted over, and Chen Yuntang, who was leaning against the bed, quickly stepped forward and helped the person on the bed up.

"How do you feel, mother?"

Madam Xie covered her chest, glanced at the few people, and waved to Xie Yuchun: "Come to the front."

Xie Yuchun's eyebrows were cold and his sharp eyes fell on Old Madam Xie's face, but he had no intention of stepping forward.

Madam Xie looked at her and her fingers trembled: "What's that look in your eyes?"

Xie Yuchun did not answer, but looked Madam Xie up and down again.

"The doctor who treated your mother is the same one who has been checking your pulse, right?"

Madam Xie's eyes flashed: "Is this important?"

"Of course it's important. He has been checking my mother's pulse, but he didn't find any illness in her body. This shows that his medical skills are not good. How can such a mediocre doctor understand my mother's condition? Someone, go to the East City Charity Hall to invite a doctor, quickly."

When the three words "Cunshantang" came out, Madam Xie's face changed immediately.

"Xie Yuchun, are you doubting your mother?"

Xie Yuchun said calmly: "Mother, you are joking. I am not doubting you, but I am thinking about you. If you are so angry about a small matter today, if something big happens in the future, won't it be..."

At this point, Xie Yuchun suddenly stopped talking: "I'm sorry, I said it too seriously, but I really am thinking about my mother."

Old Madam Xie's fingers were trembling. She wanted to refute, but she couldn't find the place to refute. In the end, she could only hold it in and looked at Ruan Shuyan with angry eyes, as if to say, it's all your fault.

Ruan Shuyan lowered her eyes slightly. This move of her husband was really beyond her expectations.

However, the second house's fuss should not be just about money. If that's the case, she will use the birthday event to enhance Xie Yuchun's reputation.

Less than half an hour later, the doctor from Cunshantang came into the Xie family. After examining old lady Xie, a strange look appeared on his face.

He didn't say anything, but anyone with a discerning eye could see that there was something wrong with what the doctor had just said.

Xie Yuchun moved his wrist and said, "How about prescribing a few prescriptions to recuperate your body?"

His words were not directed at anyone, but everyone was silent. Old Madam Xie even turned her head away, not daring to look at him.

Not long after, the doctor left, leaving behind a few prescriptions.

Then Xie Yuchun asked Ruan Shuyan to go back to the yard.

"I'll be on guard here tonight."

"Ah."

The next day, as soon as Ruan Shuyan got up, she saw Lai's mother bringing a piece of paper over.

"It was sent from Prince Duan's Mansion, saying... Princess Cheng'an invites you to have a cup of tea tomorrow."

Ruan Shuyan paused and asked, "Who are you talking about?"

"County Princess Cheng'an." Mother Lai repeated in a low voice.

Someone who is good friends with Ruan Shuhuan actually posted to her?

Ruan Shuyan smiled and said, "Refuse it. I don't have time to go there in the next two days."

“I understand…”

As he was speaking, Xie Yuchun came in, exhausted.

Ruan Shuyan knew at a glance that he had not slept all night, and judging from the time, he had not even attended the morning court. Madam Xie had done something wrong before regarding a birthday affecting the court.

"Qingfengyuan might..."

Xie Yuchun looked helpless and paused.

Ruan Shuyan smiled and said, "It's okay, my husband, go and rest first."

"Uncle, please."

Chuntao appeared from the side and asked the person to leave with a smile.

"Mother Lai, go and invite the chef from Baiwei Pavilion. Pay him a large sum of money!"

The chef of Baiweige is the most famous chef in the whole capital.

Mrs. Lai was shocked: "What does the young lady mean?"

"What Xie Yurui said last night was right. How can I not do something to show my gratitude on my mother's birthday? Invite a famous chef. You know what to do next."

Mother Lai lowered her head and said, "I understand."

That afternoon, the news that Ruan Shuyan and Xie Yuchun had invited the chef from Baiwei Pavilion to celebrate Old Madam Xie's birthday spread throughout the capital, and everyone was filled with envy.

It was not until the next day that Madam Xie and others learned about this matter.

At that time, the chef from Baiwei Pavilion had already arrived at the Xie family. He looked at the list in his hand, and when he learned that the menu was made by the second room, his expression immediately became strange.

"I'm afraid this menu is not appropriate?"

Xie Yurui and Chen Yuntang looked a little unhappy when faced with the chef's questioning.

But soon, Chen Yuntang took the menu away: "Look at what the people below did. How could they send a discarded menu to you? What are you still standing there for? Go find the eldest sister-in-law and get the newly discussed menu."

When Ruan Shuyan got the news, she asked Lai's mother to make a list on the spot. When the paper was delivered, the ink on it was not dry yet.

This move made the people in Baiwei Pavilion look at the second branch even more strangely. It was the first time for them to see the brothers messing around with their mother's birthday.

Looking at the second wife, is she trying to put the blame on the first wife?

Unexpectedly, at noon, they learned from several servants that the eldest wife was unfilial.

"It's a pity for our Second Young Master and Second Madam, they were bullied so badly."

"Yes, the eldest wife is unwilling to spend money, it's really too much."

People from Baiwei Pavilion: “…”

They looked at the housekeeper and Aunt Lai next to them. Just now, Aunt Lai brought a list and said she wanted to pick up dishes from Ruan's shop.

The butler couldn't keep the smile on his face: "Well, this is a misunderstanding."

Mother Lai smiled and said, "My eldest wife really didn't pay any money."

After saying that, she left.

Not long after, the news here spread to Qingfeng Courtyard. Old Madam Xie listened and did not say a word for a long time.

It was clear that Ruan Shuyan had made plans long ago.

"Tell Yu Rui and the others that this matter should be dropped."
