A crown princess who doesn't do infrastructure construction isn't a good doctor.

"Sister-in-law, brother."

"Sister-in-law, Brother Yan."

On the way here, Beitang Xinyue and Jiang Peier had already discussed it. She would call Qin Suiyou "sister-in-law" just like Jiang Peier, while Beitang Yan would call him "elder brother" as before. After all, they were familiar with each other and couldn't address each other according to their respective statuses.

"You've come in, please have a seat."

After inviting the two girls to sit down, Qin Suiyou asked Zhu Yi, who was on duty that day, to fetch two more cups.

"It's a bit hot today, so I had Du Ruo prepare some chilled herbal tea. Please drink as much as you like."

The two smiled and replied, "Thank you, sister-in-law."

After taking a sip of the refreshing herbal tea, Jiang Peier watched as Yun Duo, who was still unconscious, was being wiped clean. At this moment, she was no longer afraid.

"Sister-in-law, how long until Yunduo wakes up?"

Qin Suiyou glanced at the clouds and replied, "It's about this time."

As soon as he finished speaking, Beitang Yan felt the little guy in his hand begin to struggle slightly, making "woo-woo" sounds.

Jiang Peier's eyes lit up, and she exclaimed excitedly, "Yun Duo is awake!"

Just then, Beitang Yan finished wiping the last bit of dirt off Yun Duo's body, and hurriedly let go of her hands, then washed her in a wooden basin filled with water next to her.

Seeing Beitang Yan's seemingly disgusted gesture, Jiang Pei'er thought that he had helped Yun Duo wipe her body after all, so she didn't show any displeasure. Besides, she didn't dare to.

Qin Suiyou wiped Beitang Yan's hands and said, "You dislike the clouds?"

Beitang Yan looked puzzled.

Who is the cloud?

Pointing with his eyes to the white puppy slowly moving its paws in its newly changed swaddling clothes, Qin Suiyou said, "It is."

Beitang Yan feigned a look of sudden realization.

"Oh, no, I didn't mind. I just got some loose fur on my hands, and I couldn't wipe it off with a handkerchief, so I had to wash it off quickly with water. Otherwise, what if it floated down and got on you? Your skin is so delicate, it might..."

"Okay, okay, I got it."

Seeing that Beitang Yan's words were getting a little off, Qin Suiyou quickly interrupted him. Then, he glanced at Jiang Peier and gave her a gentle smile.

Jiang Peier's gaze gradually lowered, no longer daring to meet Qin Suiyou's eyes. Then she slowly raised her hand to cover her mouth, which was agape in surprise.

"One is worried about the other's delicate skin, and the other doesn't want the other to be misunderstood. This is simply..."

Thinking that her voice had been lowered so that no one would hear her, Jiang Peier mumbled some incoherent words. Beitang Xinyue, who was next to her, pursed her lips and nudged her arm with her elbow.

"Everyone here heard it clearly."

"what?"

Jiang Peier raised her head with a blank expression.

"I speak very softly, and I won't let anyone else hear me except you."

Beitang Xinyue said regretfully, "You know what kind of kung fu my brother has, right? My sister-in-law is no ordinary person either; her hearing is beyond what ordinary people can compare to."

Jiang Peier: "..."

Jiang Peier: "!!!"

Jiang Peier: "Why didn't you say so earlier!"

Beitang Xinyue shrugged.

"You didn't give me a chance either."

At this point, Jiang Peier didn't even care about the clouds anymore. Her eyelids blinked rapidly, and her mind raced, trying to come up with an excuse to leave quickly. Would going home work? Oh no! Going home! I'm doomed!

Jiang Peier jumped to her feet, flustered, and said, "Yueyue, I forgot to send a message home when I came here. It's been so long, my parents must be worried sick!"

"This……"

Beitang Xinyue was stunned for a moment; she hadn't thought of that either.

Just as Jiang Peier was stamping her feet in frustration, preparing to take her leave, Qin Suiyou calmed the atmosphere with a few words.

"I have already sent your coachman back to the manor to inform Lord Jiang and Madam Jiang that Xinyue couldn't bear to part with you, so she took you back to Prince An's manor to spend the night."

Jiang Peier was still pleasantly surprised when Beitang Xinyue said first, "Sister-in-law, you are so kind! You are so thoughtful!"

Jiang Peier recovered from her surprise and quickly thanked him repeatedly.

Qin Suiyou waved his hand to indicate that there was no need to thank him, and then asked a question.

"Which family's young lady injured Yunduo?"

"This one……"

Jiang Peier paused for a moment, exchanged a glance with Beitang Xinyue, and then they both shook their heads.

Jiang Peier: "All I know is that she seems to often follow Duan Wei from the Duke of Wei's mansion. Duan Wei calls her Yiran."

Beitang Xinyue: "Duan Wei seems to be taking classes at their family's clan school, so when we first met Duan Wei at some grand banquet, we didn't know her because we didn't pay attention to other people. It was only after that Yiran pointed out her identity that we knew her."

"That's it."

Qin Suiyou nodded and then said, "It's alright, this information is enough."

Upon hearing this, Beitang Xinyue asked curiously, "Sister-in-law, why are you asking this?" Qin Suiyou didn't keep her in suspense and replied, "If such a cute little dog can hurt people, I naturally want to know more about it. After all, small things can reveal big things. Who knows, she might hurt people in the future, so I have to be on guard."

Beitang Xinyue and Jiang Peier thought that Qin Suiyou really should be on guard, while Beitang Yan, who was still suffering from amnesia but extremely sensitive to his wife's affairs, asked in a low voice, "Wife, do you want to avenge this little dog?"

Qin Suiyou was not surprised by what Beitang Yan said, and simply asked in return, "Don't you think it's too cruel to punch and kick such a cute little guy?"

Beitang Yan looked at the bandage on Yun Duo's head and frowned, recalling the hideous wound that Qin Suiyou had exposed when he shaved its fur.

"It is indeed quite cruel, but that's because it was too weak, and the person who hurt the dog was also weak. It's human nature to attach oneself to someone who is in a higher position, but to wantonly trample on someone weaker than oneself is shameful."

"Wow, you're quite philosophical about what you're saying today."

Beitang Yan sniffed. Although he didn't know what philosophy meant, he subconsciously replied, "After all, I'm very smart."

The two people sitting opposite each other, pretending to care about Yun Duo but actually eavesdropping, almost dropped their jaws when they heard what Beitang Yan said.

Even Beitang Xinyue, who had gone through so much, felt a little ashamed of her brother's smug words, but Beitang Yan said them so naturally and without any hesitation.

After Jiang Peier finished her surprise, she suddenly remembered something and said, "Yueyue, in a few days, the Imperial Concubine in the palace will be holding a birthday banquet. It is said that the Emperor, in consideration of her hard work in managing the harem for many years, has specially granted her permission to hold a grand banquet and also invites all the noble ladies to the palace to offer their congratulations. Did you know this?"

"Hasn't Uncle Jiang been staying at home for several days and unaware of outside affairs?"

Upon hearing Beitang Xinyue's question, Jiang Peier hurriedly replied, "His Majesty has already instructed the Ministry of Rites to begin handling this matter. My father can only rest until tomorrow; he will have to get back to work the day after tomorrow."

Upon hearing this, Beitang Xinyue frowned and said, "I haven't heard my parents mention it yet."

Jiang Peier said softly, "We should receive the news in a few days. It's likely that the person in question also realized that holding a grand birthday celebration for a Noble Consort was a bit absurd, so they said they would hold it, but kept the news under wraps for most of the time."

Beitang Xinyue muttered, "If word had leaked out, the ministers would have already submitted a memorial opposing it."

At this moment, Qin Suiyou suddenly said, "It would be good to have a banquet; I'd get to see quite a few people."
