The reborn girl always wants to escape, but the abstinent marquis hugs her and coaxes her!

Chapter 18 She is sick

Late at night in the Western Suburbs Military Camp, after finishing a day's training, the soldiers took their bowls and went to line up in the canteen.

Mu Rong was preparing a report on his work. In two days he would be transferred back to the camp.

The candle flickered, and he had just picked up his pen when someone outside the tent announced, "Your subordinate, Mu San, wishes to see you!"

Mu San?! Wasn't he supposed to stay in the capital to assist Mu Yi? Why was he in the western suburbs?

"Come in and answer."

Mu San opened the curtain and came in, head bowed: "Miss Xu has a high fever, and it hasn't subsided for two days."

Mu Rong was stunned. "Why are you reporting this now?" "My Lord, it was the Xu family who kept it a secret. This afternoon, when Chief Secretary Yi went to Fanlou to settle the accounts, he heard that someone from the Xu family had come the night before to settle the bill for the banquet, and they haven't been seen since. Chief Secretary Yi felt something was amiss and rushed to the Xu family to inquire. Madam Xu was evasive, lying that Miss Xu had just caught a cold and it was nothing serious, but she kept refusing to let Chief Secretary Yi meet with Miss Xu."

"Chief Yi ordered his subordinates to invite the royal physician into the palace. The Xu family knew they could no longer conceal the truth, so they announced that Miss Xu had been experiencing a fever since the night before. I dared not delay and immediately came to report this to you, my Lord."

Mu Rong's face turned pale. "Xu Chaoqian, I really underestimated you."

Before leaving Beijing, he personally instructed his future father-in-law Xu Chaoqian to take good care of Xu Rongrong, but in the blink of an eye, he condoned his family's abuse of her. This sixth-rank official really didn't take him seriously!

"What does the palace physician say?" he asked.

Mu San answered truthfully, "The palace doctor has already given Miss Xu acupuncture. He said her high fever is due to depression and is not serious. However, she may have a recurring fever at night." "In that case, you should go back and stay outside the Xu Mansion tonight. If there is any unusual movement inside, you and Mu Yi will take appropriate action."

"Yes!" Mu San did not dare to delay any longer after receiving the order.

In the tent, Mu Rong was still angry.

Mu Ai knew what his master was thinking, so he said secretly, "I don't think Lord Xu did it on purpose. I'm afraid it's someone else in the Xu Mansion who has bad intentions."

Mu Rong snorted coldly: "Don't let him get away with anything!"

……

In Wutong Courtyard, Wen Yao was decocting medicine for Xu Rongrong under the porch in the moonlight, wiping away tears: If it weren't for Yi Changshi and the palace doctor, I'm afraid the young lady would have died here.

After the medicine was ready, she poured out a bowl and brought it into the room.

Xu Rongrong lay slumped in bed, her cheeks flushed. She could tell Wen Yao had just been crying, so she patiently tried to comfort her, "Don't be sad. I'm just tired, nothing bad. Besides, this high fever isn't caused by cold. Drink plenty of water and rest for a few days, and you'll be fine. Go check on Luo Shu later. Stay with her at night, and she'll be less afraid."

After she fell ill, Wutong Courtyard was surrounded by people from Bai Cui Courtyard. Luo Shu wanted to climb over the wall to see a doctor, but was discovered by Bai Cui Courtyard and locked up in the woodshed. If Mu Yi had not come today, it is unknown how long she would have been locked up. The little girl was very scared.

Wen Yao's tears welled up again after hearing this: "Miss, please take care of yourself first. You're so hot, how can you be okay?"

Xu Rongrong smiled and said, "Believe me, I was sicker than this before, but I recovered on my own. Your young lady is not that fragile."

"How could I not remember?" "Bring the medicine." Xu Rongrong changed the subject.

What she just said was actually what happened in her previous life in the Marquis' Mansion.

After Liu Ying'er climbed onto the bed and was beaten to death by Mu Rong, she was so scared that she had a high fever for five consecutive days.

Mu Rong was very angry at the time, so no one was interested in her yard, let alone hiring a doctor for her. In the end, she had to get through it on her own.

Having experienced it before, I was not afraid even though I was burning hot this time.

……

This time the high fever was severe, but just as Xu Rongrong had judged, it was not dangerous.

Two days later, she was able to get out of bed.

Xu Minmin, the instigator of the Bai Cuiyuan incident, was also severely punished by Xu Chaoqian and made to kneel in the ancestral hall.

The Weiyuan Marquis' Mansion also seemed to want to support her. Every day, the chief secretary Mu Yi would bring the palace doctor to check Ping An's pulse. Therefore, no one stopped people from entering and leaving Wutong Courtyard.

However, every time Mu Yi came, Xu Rongrong avoided him.

Wen Yao was puzzled. "Miss, why don't you use the title of Marquis Weiyuan to vent your anger?" Xu Rongrong smiled and said, "It's better to rely on yourself than on others. Besides, venting anger is never as satisfying as doing it yourself. Calculating the days, the Third Miss should be coming out of the ancestral hall today, right?"

"I'm afraid it will come out in the evening."

Xu Rongrong looked up at the sun in the middle of the sky, then stood up and said, "It seems like we don't have much time left."

She took out a small sachet from the bottom of the cabinet, shook it in her hands, and said, "Let's go to the ancestral hall."

Wen Yao and Luo Shu looked at each other and hurried to catch up.
