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

Chapter 252: Resettlement of the Luo Xiao Clan

This was the first time that Mu Rong opposed Xu Rongrong's proposal so firmly.

The reason was simple: his little girl had just recovered from the poison that sealed her acupuncture points with ice, and was still weak. And tuberculosis was different from other illnesses; nine out of ten were fatal! If the Luo mother and daughter were to live in Zhuxiang Yayuan, it would be a risk for her.

He would never let her take such a risk.

Therefore, as soon as Xu Rongrong finished speaking, he immediately objected.

Completely ignoring the eyes of others.

Xu Rongrong naturally understood Mu Rong's thoughts. Back in Yuzhou City, Mu Rong treated the Luo family mother and daughter with a measured degree of affection, but if they encountered any difficulties, he would help them without hesitation. Such a man would never ignore them in times of trouble. The only explanation was that he was worried about her.

But apart from Zhuxiang Yayuan, where else could she feel more at ease and be more suitable for Luo Xiao to recuperate?

Thinking of this, she said firmly, "I understand what the Marquis means, but Zhuxiang Yayuan is quiet and peaceful. It was originally a place for health preservation. It is the most suitable place to recuperate now. Moreover, the courtyards are independent of each other. Placing Madam Luo there will also be convenient for the palace doctor to come and go. And I... also know my limits."

Mu Rong looked at Xu Rongrong, who was pretending to be relaxed, as if he had expected her to say that. He casually asked, "Then...what about the Lu residence just across the wall?"

Sure enough, after he finished speaking, Xu Rongrong suddenly felt speechless.

Indeed... Zhuxiang Yayuan is right next to Minister Lu and his wife. Tuberculosis is highly contagious. What if someone accidentally infects the Lu family?

She bit her lip anxiously. Seeing this, Mu Rong continued to suggest, "At the moment, it's best to place them in the Marquis' Mansion. First, the Marquis' Mansion has a highly experienced military physician who has treated Madam Luo's condition before. Regular visits from the palace physician can effectively control the condition. Second, as the palace physician just mentioned, Madam Luo's condition is aggravated by malnutrition. The Marquis' Mansion may not have much else, but it has plenty of nourishing foods. Third, the Marquis' Mansion has many vacant courtyards, enough for mother and daughter to live separately and recuperate."

After saying that, Mu Rong smiled and said, "Doesn't this arrangement kill three birds with one stone?"

Hearing this, Xu Rongrong looked up at him.

She didn't expect that Mu Rong would be willing to place the mother and daughter of the Luo family in the Marquis' Mansion. After all, there were hundreds of people in the entire Marquis' Mansion, and the risk he would have to bear was even greater!

What's more, what would he do if they moved into the Marquis' Mansion?

After all, there were women living in the mansion who were not related by blood, so in order to avoid suspicion, he had to live elsewhere. "Then where do you live?" She thought to herself and blurted out.

Mu Rong smiled slightly upon hearing this, with a hint of teasing in his smile: "Rongrong, are you willing to take me in?"

Xu Rongrong: "..."

The palace doctor beside him curled his lips when he heard this: "My Lord, what are you planning? I'm afraid the whole capital will hear about it! How can this be killing three birds with one stone? I'm afraid it's killing four birds with one stone!"

Xu Rongrong had been in a state of tension since entering the Guandi Temple. Mu Rong had said this to help her relax, but now that he saw that her expression had relaxed a little, he stopped joking.

Luo Xiao was suffering from tuberculosis, and the most important thing right now was to get treatment, so she said seriously, "Don't worry, Rongrong, I have other houses in the capital, and I will certainly not treat myself badly."

Xu Rongrong: "..."

The palace doctor: "..."

"Lord Marquis and Lady County, wait a minute!" someone outside the door shouted, a hint of fatigue in the clear voice.

The door was pushed open and Shu Qing ran in.

He was extremely anxious when he received the news, but the medicine shed could not leave him for the time being.

When the line gradually shortened and the medicinal materials were almost distributed, he hurried to Guandi Temple in a hurry. He ran all the way, and his hair was blown by the wind and half of it hung down.

But even though he looked embarrassed, it was hard to hide the determination in his eyes.

He quickly walked up to Luo Xiao and said, "Why don't you come find me? As soon as I saw Yuqi, I knew you were seriously ill. How could you...how could you joke with your own life?!"

Luo Xiao lowered her head, her hands were shaking slightly.

Ever since she contracted the cough, her body often trembled uncontrollably, and that was all due to the disease.

But this time was different. She was in a very embarrassing situation, and she didn't even know why. She just wanted to hide herself and not be seen by anyone.

But Shu Qing did not do as she wished. The more she retreated and dodged, the closer he came.

Until she has no way to retreat...

Seeing this, Shu Qing stopped pressing. He half-knelt in front of Luo Xiaoshi and put his hand on her slightly trembling wrist: "Don't be afraid."

His fingertips were warm, conveying a hint of unquestionable strength.

After a long moment, he withdrew his hand and whispered, "Don't worry, I can heal you."

His voice was low and firm, making everyone in the Guandi Temple breathe a sigh of relief.

"You are indeed suffering from tuberculosis, as the palace physician diagnosed. Fortunately, you have just become ill, and the disease has not penetrated too deeply into your lungs, so it is not difficult to treat. I took Yuqi's pulse when she went to the medicine shed to get medicine just now. She is just a little weak and has not been infected yet."

"Thank you." Luo Xiao murmured.

Shu Qing stood up and walked over to Xu Rongrong. "I've heard what the County Lady said to the Marquis just now. Both Zhuxiang Yayuan and the Marquis' Mansion are rare mansions in the capital, but they are both inappropriate for recuperation."

"The county lady is currently staying at Zhuxiang Yayuan. The couple next door, Minister Lu, are elderly and pose a significant risk. The Marquis's residence is imposing and majestic, and Madam Luo and her daughter are currently upset. Living there might not be conducive to their recovery. After much deliberation, I've decided that my place is the most suitable."

"I'm currently living in the backyard of the pharmacy, and the back room is vacant. It's close to the river and has a great view, and the Eight Alleys of the capital are far less noisy than elsewhere, making it a perfect place for recuperation. But I wonder what the county magistrate thinks?"

The pharmacy was Xu Rongrong's property. Although Shu Qing had been given full authority to manage it since he arrived in Beijing, for Shu Qing, it was just a place to stay, and all arrangements required the owner's approval. But for Xu Rongrong, such an arrangement was naturally hers!

She glanced at Mrs. Luo Xiao and asked softly, "Since it's for recuperation, it naturally depends on Mrs. Luo's wishes."

Luo Xiao felt that everyone's eyes in the Guandi Temple were fixed on her.

She has nothing, what is her virtue? I wonder how much she owes others...

But what would Yuqi do if she really died?

Since you owe it, just pay it back slowly in the future.

After pondering for a long time, Luo Xiao murmured, "Thank you, County Lady and Doctor Shu. I will rely solely on your arrangements."
