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

Chapter 3 Dad is still the same dad

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

She was sitting at her desk, writing down the important events that came to her mind.

I had just written half of the booklet when I heard Wen Yao's voice greeting me.

She had just put the booklet away when her father Xu Chaoqian excitedly opened the curtain and came in.

"Is Sister Rong feeling better today?"

This was the first time she saw her father after her rebirth.

Looking at his rosy face, Xu Rongrong was in a trance for a moment: ...How many years has it been since she last saw him?

In his previous life, during the first two years after entering Weiyuan Marquis Mansion, his father Xu Chaoqian and stepmother Xu Liu often visited the mansion.

He told her about the difficulties at home, asked her to persuade the Marquis to find a good husband for his two stepsisters, and arrange for his brother to enter Deyang Academy, which is ranked first in the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Later, when they found that she lived like a servant in the marquis's mansion and Mu Rong never let her get close to him, they stopped coming.

In the twenty-second year of the Jingyuan reign, her fourth year in the Weiyuan Marquisate, the battle for the throne reached a critical juncture. Mu Rong marched south to Jiangsu and Zhejiang to suppress the rebellion of the Third Prince, Wu Tianxiao. Lin Jiaoyue's men tricked her out of the city, claiming the Marquis was seriously injured. Too undressed to return to the Marquisate, she fled overnight to the Xu family for help. However, Xu Chaoqian sternly reprimanded her, saying, "A married daughter is like spilled water. The Marquis is away, yet you've left the mansion without your permission, disobeying your husband's rules. You've gotten yourself into this mess, and yet you still want your father's help? I can't afford to lose you!"

That was the last time she saw her father.

But now, such a cold-hearted person suddenly appeared in front of her, showing a friendly look, which made her dazed for a moment.

"Is Sister Rong feeling better? Why do you seem not to recognize your father?"

"Father hasn't been to Wutong Courtyard for a long time." Xu Rongrong said indifferently.

"Oh... ahem, it seems Sister Rong is missing you." Xu Chaoqian was a little embarrassed, but soon changed his expression to joy. "Your father has good news! Today, the Minister recommended a doctor who is said to be the best at treating abdominal pain."

Xu Rongrong frowned slightly. She remembered that this had never happened in her previous life.

In her previous life, she was extremely exhausted, so Xu Liu asked Doctor Song from Mengchuntang to examine her, but he sent her away with just one sentence: "She had caught a cold."

After taking six or seven doses of the medicine, with no improvement, Xu Liu simply said, "The disease is slowly disappearing. This disease requires rest and recuperation." And that was it. How did this time, a palace physician recommended by the Minister of State suddenly appear?

Seeing his daughter in a daze again, Xu Chaoqian took charge and said, "Where's Wen Yao? Hurry and put up the young lady's tent. The palace doctor recommended by the Minister will be here soon."

Xu Rongrong suppressed the disgust in her heart: "Father, there is no need to bother. I have been taking Meng Chuntang's prescription and am now much better. I just feel a little weak."

"What about the Qixi Festival banquet?" Xu Chaoqian asked.

"Father and Madam will take my second sister to the banquet."

"No! This is the first time since the Emperor and Empress held the Qixi Festival banquet that they've invited officials of the sixth rank and above. How can we treat it as a joke? You are the eldest daughter of the Xu family. If you don't go, won't others say that there is no order in our Xu family? When we were on duty today, the Minister repeatedly told us not to make any mistakes. He even recommended this palace doctor when he knew you were ill. You must do your best and don't let the Minister's kindness go to waste! On the day of the banquet, the worst that can happen is that you just sit there and don't move." Xu Rongrong: "..."

Oh, as expected. Dad is still the same dad.

Before she could say anything, Xu Chaoqian added, "This is the official physician of the Shangshu Mansion. He cures all diseases instantly! I'm afraid ordinary people wouldn't even be able to hire him."

The Shangshu mentioned by Xu Chaoqian should be Lu Zhi, the Minister of Works, who is also the confidant of the current emperor.

Xu Rongrong was deeply impressed by this cheerful old man. In her previous life, every New Year, Madam Lu would send people to exchange gifts with the Weiyuan Marquis's mansion. Since the mansion had no mistress, Xu Rongrong would always go to express her gratitude. Although they didn't meet often, Xu Rongrong could always see the pity in Madam Lu's eyes.

In the 23rd year of the Jingyuan reign, after the current emperor abdicated and became the Grand Emperor, Minister Lu and his wife returned home. Before leaving, Madam Lu came to the Marquis's residence to see her and asked her to persuade Mu Rong not to worry about someone who was not worth it.

Such a kind couple were the only people who had shown kindness to her in her previous life.

She remembered that Minister Lu and his wife had always looked down on Xu Chaoqian, a court official who had risen to the position through seniority but had been doing nothing.

Why is he so enthusiastic now? He even personally recommended the court doctor?

Before she could figure it out, the person had already reached the outside of the yard.

Xu Chaoqian hurried out to welcome the person in person.

Xu Rongrong had no choice but to lie back on the bed and stick her wrist out of the tent.

The sleeves were a little worn and not cut to fit her well, making her arms look even thinner.

Presumably because of the instructions from Minister Lu, the doctor in the palace was very careful when examining the patient, observing, smelling, asking and feeling the patient, and was very meticulous in every step.

"Doctor of the Royal Palace, what's wrong with my daughter..." Xu Chaoqian stepped forward.

The palace doctor pondered for a long time, then glanced at the two maids standing by, and said in a deep voice, "Wait for this humble official to prepare a warming and nourishing prescription for Miss Xu."

Xu Rongrong listened in the tent, feeling a little uneasy.

She always felt that the purpose of the royal doctor's visit was not simple.
