After coming out, Madam Jing no longer liked to keep a stern face like she did in the mansion before. Although she still felt sad sometimes, she was much more cheerful.

The old aunt agreed: "That's true. For us, the Jing family army, it's probably better for us to use the sky as a blanket and the ground as a bed. This is where we can move freely."

"Yeah, Tuanzi hasn't taken medicine for the past two days, and her asthma isn't as severe anymore. She must be getting better soon." Although she was born out of wedlock, little Nuomituan was not a timid person. She spoke without restraint in front of her grandmother.

Everyone laughed again.

Tuanzi had been frail since childhood, having lost her father before she was even born. Therefore, everyone loved her and she had never been mistreated in the General's Mansion. On the contrary, because she was young and a girl, she was always carefully cared for and pampered even when she was sick. Aunt Zhao insisted on taking her with her, fearing that she would die early in the capital without anyone to take good care of her. That's why she was exiled.

The little guy washed himself and lay on the bed to play. His little face was rosy, not at all like his original pale complexion. He was just chasing Jing Chunxi to play, and he didn't look sick at all. He took a nap in the car at noon, and now he didn't feel sleepy at all. After saying that, he was busy rolling around on the new quilt.

Jing Chunxi ate and drank his fill, and then lay in the warm bed, listening to his grandmother and daughters-in-law gossiping about family matters. He did not refute his grandmother's words about the fairy aunt, but just chuckled.

Everyone had packed up and were ready to go to bed when Jing Changning knocked on the door and came in. He had a hatchet in his hand, which didn't look very sharp. Everyone stared at him in surprise, wondering why he came in with a knife in the middle of the night.

He rubbed his head and smiled awkwardly: "Just now, Dalang and I went to drink two glasses of wine with Brother Qi, and he revealed that there is indeed a serious criminal who will join our team tomorrow.

He also said hello to Master Liu and agreed that we could prepare some sticks or something for self-defense. He bought the knife from the kitchen, and asked the waiter to prepare some sticks for us. Everyone will have one tomorrow."

Finally, he added, "If something really happens, we'll all show our daggers, and the officers escorting us won't be able to report back."

Seeing that they didn't reply, Jing Changning felt a little embarrassed and didn't know what to say. As he turned around and left, he said, "There are also sticks from their several rooms."

Hehe! Third uncle is indeed very insightful. He has implemented his foreign policy and has achieved some success.

The main thing is that he also knew to bring his eldest cousin along. The Jing family is a large family with a lot of business, and to do big things they need successors, so everything needs to be cultivated. Jing Chunxi felt much more at ease.

She should be able to lie down soon. Little girls should eat and drink enough and then sleep, so that they can grow faster.

Pingyang Marquis Mansion in the capital,

After Jing Qiurong and the others left, Old Mrs. Liu also went back with the maids. Aunt Liu ran back to Liuxu Garden in a hurry as if she was being chased by a dog.

"Madam, what's wrong with your face?" Ruxiu, the personal maid, pointed at Concubine Liu's face, which was scratched and covered with bloody marks, and was shocked. In Liuxu Garden, they had long called this concubine "Madam", and it was Chu Xuan's permission. Otherwise, Concubine Liu and those two little bastards would not be so arrogant.

"You little girl, hurry up and get me some water. I'm so itchy. There must be some poisonous insects in that unlucky Chaoxia Courtyard." Aunt Liu said as she scratched her face a few more times with her hands. Seeing the maid's frightened expression, she hurriedly moved herself to the mirror.

"Dead, how can it be so serious? Ruhua, quickly find a doctor for me."

"Hey, hey! I'll go right away!" The room was empty in a moment. One went to fetch water, and the other went to call the palace doctor.

Seeing the face in the mirror that she couldn't even bear to look at, she was so angry that she almost fell over. Thinking about Chu Xuan's stunned expression just now, Aunt Liu was extremely annoyed. She threw the cup on the table to the ground, making a mess.

"Where's Madam Xiang? Let her come in quickly and scratch me."

But no one answered.

It was itchy, everywhere, even her neck and body had started to itch. She scratched through her clothes, but it itched everywhere after scratching here, as if millions of bugs were biting her. She scratched, and it hurt, and the painful place then itched even more.

When no one responded, Aunt Liu became angry and asked, "Where are they? Where did they all go?"

A little maidservant who was only ten years old at most ran in from the yard when she heard the noise. She was at a loss when she heard the loud shout, and she trembled even more when she saw Aunt Liu's ugly and somewhat distorted face. She was young and usually only did odd jobs, and now she really didn't know what to do.

Hadn't Madam Xiang and the other two mothers-in-law been taken out of the courtyard by Madam just now? They hadn't returned even when Madam had returned, but the little maid didn't dare to say anything and just stood there in a daze. She was afraid of being punished if she went out, but she was also afraid of being beaten if she got close.

Fortunately, Ruxiu brought back a basin of cold water. Before she even said hello after entering the room, she saw Aunt Liu rushing out with her clothes disheveled like a mad woman. She poured the basin of water directly on her face. The cold water in the autumn weather really relieved the itchiness on her face. Knowing that the cold water was effective, she didn't care about so much. She couldn't stand the itchiness on her body either, so she grabbed the remaining water and poured it on herself, soaking herself from head to toe.

He also cursed loudly: "What's the point of bringing this half basin of water? You all don't take my business seriously, do you? I'll sell you out one by one!"

Where had the little girl ever seen such a scene? She was so frightened that she took several steps back and ran away. She was really scared. Even if she was beaten to death outside, at least someone would see her. If she died in this room, she might not even have a complete body.

Ruxiu remained calm: "Madam, are you okay? Do you want to go to the front yard and tell the prince?"

"Don't shout. Let the servants guard the gate of the courtyard tightly. And that little girl just now, bring her back and give her a slap in the face. If she dares to spread it around, she will be beaten to death." Aunt Liu grinned and shouted for fighting and killing. Her big mouth screamed as if it could swallow people. It was really scary. She was nothing like the beautiful young woman who usually pretended to be weak in front of the prince.

"Yes!" Ruxiu didn't want to stay either, so she ran outside quickly. Guarding the door was urgent, and she didn't dare to delay in fetching water, but there was always a servant outside who could be used.

"Hurry up and ask someone to boil some hot water. I want to take a bath right away." There was another roar from the other side, and the sound of something falling to the ground.
