34.Chapter 34
Tao Shi carried Su Xun back to Yufu Courtyard, put his little body on the pineapple wooden shelf bed, covered it tightly with a brocade quilt, and instructed the house to burn charcoal in Banxia and Honeysuckle to make the house warmer and get some hot water.
Tao stood beside the bed, took out the silk handkerchief in the copper basin with a pair of jade hands, wrung out the water, leaned over, looked at his daughter's slightly red little face with a worried face, and gently wiped it.
Then he sat on the edge of the bed, reached out and held his daughter's little fleshy hand, felt her body temperature, and his eyes did not blink, wanting to watch the little person on the bed wake up.
Su Jueze, who came over, put the medicine bag on the table, and when he entered the back room, he saw that his mother Tao was tired, and where there was still the style of the past, he felt a little uncomfortable.
"Mother, I'll take care of my sister tonight, you go and rest first. Su Jueze approached, thought for a moment, and said softly.
When Tao heard this, he didn't look back, just looked at his daughter, shook his head slightly, and said, "No need, my mother is not tired, my mother wants to stay by Yuanyuan's side." As she spoke, she glanced at Su Jueze slightly, and felt a little relieved to see that he was worried about herself. This eldest son has always been calm, he doesn't like to laugh since he was a child, and he doesn't express his feelings lightly, but now, it is obvious. Naturally, she shouldn't have brushed off this heart, but the most important thing at the moment is her daughter.
Thinking about it, his eyes fell on the villain again.
It's night, Dow hasn't slept all night, but the people who can't sleep are not just her.
In the Qinzhu Courtyard, after the Jiang family knew that Su Xun had been rescued, he sat with his son Su Jingsong in his arms for a night, feeling apprehensive and not sleepy at all.
Silence and dawn, in the house, the Jiang family's dress is still yesterday, but yesterday it still looks a little gorgeous, at this time the temples are crooked, and the appearance is haggard, but it is a worried, slightly wolf bรจi look.
In her arms, the young Su Jingsong did not notice her mother's uneasiness, her eyes were closed, and she was sleeping soundly.
Jiang Shi glanced at his sleeping son in his arms, stretched out his hand and gently touched his chubby face, trying to calm his mood, but after a while, when he heard the sound of hurried footsteps outside, he couldn't help but change his face and tremble slightly.
Su Enhua hurriedly stepped into the Qinzhu Courtyard with an angry face. The kidnapping case of the little niece has been solved, which was originally a very happy thing, but to his surprise, there was Jiang's brother among the perpetrators. Thinking about the Jiang family's abnormal behavior last night, it is estimated that she has long seen that this matter has nothing to do with her brother, but even so, she didn't report it. And now, it's good that the little niece came back safely, if there is a little accident, this Jiang family is an accomplice.
Thinking about this behavior again, if his father Rongguo knew about it, not to mention that he couldn't keep the Jiang family, I was afraid that even he would have to be driven out.
Su Enhua strode into the room, and saw that Jiang was also sitting there uneasily, looking at him with a panicked expression, and knew that this woman had also guessed that she had made a big mistake, and suddenly a wave of anger surged, and she stepped forward and raised her hand to slap him.
Seeing this, Jiang's face turned pale, his eyes were tearful and pitiful, and he quickly knelt on the ground with his son in his arms, and said with a crying voice: "Second master, the concubine knows that she is wrong, and it is a big mistake, the crime is unforgivable, today you can beat and scold as you want, I can ask you to help the concubine beg for mercy, after all, Brother Song, he is still so young, what should he do if he has no mother, you have to think of him." โ
Last night, as soon as Jiang saw the handwriting on the letter, she knew that it was from her niece Jiang Rouyun, and she also guessed that the kidnapping was probably related to her eldest brother Jiang Tan.
But when she returned to the house, Jiang remembered Jiang Rouyun's handwriting, but it was not only what she had seen, she remembered that during the time when Jiang Rouyun stayed in the Rongguo Mansion, in order to win people's hearts, she had written letters to many people in the mansion, so many people in the mansion had more or less seen her handwriting.
Thinking of this, the more uneasy Jiang's heart became, and he also viciously hoped that no one would see the handwriting, and that little ancestor would better disappear like this......
But who would have thought that the little ancestor would come back in the end, so, knowing that this matter was done by her brother, even if she didn't know about it and didn't report it, the Rongguo Mansion probably wouldn't be able to keep her, so how could she be willing?
At this moment, Jiang saw that Su Enhua stopped his hand, although her eyes were fierce, she seemed to be considering, her heart was steady, she worked hard in her hand, and secretly pinched Su Jingsong in her arms, making him wake up crying, and quickly hugged him tightly, comforting with tears in her eyes, and secretly glanced at Su Enhua with the corner of her eye.
In fact, she had thought about it early in the morning, if she wanted to stay today, I am afraid she would have to rely on this son.
Su Enhua glanced at the Jiang family, who was comforting his son, took a deep breath, clenched his fist and withdrew his hand, but he also noticed the eyes that peeked at him, he squinted slightly, turned his back, didn't look at her, and seemed to think about it: "Brother Song is indeed still young and has no one to take care of him, but at my moment, there are two ways to take care of him." The first way is to leave you and drive you out of the house, leave him in the Rongguo Mansion, sever the mother-son relationship between the two of you, and ask the nurse to take care of ......"
"No, how can this be, Brother Song can't be without his mother!" When Jiang Shi heard this, his face suddenly turned pale, and he didn't wait for Su Enhua to finish speaking, so he shouted, and the next moment he realized that his behavior was inappropriate, he immediately lowered his eyebrows, and asked, "Second master, what about the second method?"
"The second way is that the two of you go out of the house together, and I will set up a house outside, so that you two can live and ensure that you have no worries about food and clothing. Su Enhua glanced back at the Jiang clan and said word by word. And if the Jiang family agrees, it means that she will be reduced to a nameless outer room, and her son will no longer be the concubine of the second room.
Jiang Shi was stunned when she heard this, she couldn't accept either of these two methods, but looking at the cold-faced man in front of her, she knew that there were only these two methods for her to choose. And it is reasonable to be reasonable, for the sake of her son, she should choose the first way, but if she is kicked out of the Rongguo Mansion, how should she live?
At this moment, Jiang hesitated.
Su Enhua naturally saw the hesitation in Jiang's eyes, and couldn't help but turn cold in his eyes. This woman kept saying that for the sake of her son, in the end, she was not looking for a way out for herself? What a selfish woman, where is the gentleness and loveliness when she first met.
The more he looked at this face and listened to the child's crying, Su Enhua felt irritable and felt that he couldn't stay anymore, he flicked his sleeves, not giving Jiang a chance to refute, and said while walking out: "Pack up your things, and take your son out tomorrow." โ
Jiang watched the man walk away in a daze, pursed his lips, didn't say a word, just unconsciously hugged his son who was still crying in his arms.

The next day, when the news of Jiang and her son leaving the Rongguo Mansion reached Tao's ears, she was feeding her daughter who had recovered from fever in Yufu Courtyard to drink millet porridge.
When Tao Shi heard this, she was not surprised at all, as if she had expected this, her face was unwavering, she held a jade porcelain bowl in her hand, and still carefully fed it to Su Xun's mouth one by one, while softly persuading the villain to eat a few more bites.
"Mother, the porridge is too light, Yuan Yuan doesn't want to eat it. Su Xun muttered weakly like a sick cat. She has just recovered from a serious illness, and her spiritual energy has not yet recovered, and there is no taste in her mouth. But her mother had to feed her to drink clear porridge again, and her mouth was even lighter, where was there any appetite to eat. And she heard that the Jiang family left the Rongguo Mansion with the little cousin, although she roughly knew what the reason was, but she couldn't understand why the Jiang family would leave with her son, after all, if the little cousin stayed in the Rongguo Mansion, the future would definitely be stronger than following the Jiang family, but she didn't know what the Jiang family thought?
However, her body had just recovered, and her brain was still a little confused, so she couldn't think about it much.
"Well, after a few days, your body is not empty, and my mother will give you a lot of delicious food. Tao reached out and grabbed a pink soft silk handkerchief, gently wiped her daughter's mouth, and coaxed softly. She naturally felt sorry for her daughter and wanted to feed her something delicious, but now this little body is very weak, but it is not replenished.
Su Xun pursed her pink lips, but she looked at her mother's tired face and the blue and black under her beautiful eyes, and knew that her mother must have been taking care of her all night, and she was barely holding on to her spirit at this time. For now, she still drank the porridge quickly, so that her mother could rest. Thinking about it, Su Xun sighed lightly and nodded: "Well, Yuanyuan is good, Yuanyuan eats." โ
When Tao heard this, he smiled and reached out to pinch her little face, and continued to feed her, while feeding, looking at his daughter's well-behaved appearance, he said in his heart: Yuanyuan will get better soon......
But some things often backfire, Su Xun subsided with the fever, but her small body was emaciated at a speed that was visible to the human eye, and she had no appetite to eat at all, even if she barely ate something, she would soon vomit. Seeing this, Tao was naturally anxious to die, and hurriedly ordered someone to invite the best imperial doctor in the palace to take a look, but after changing five imperial doctors in a row, he couldn't diagnose what was wrong with Su Xun, so he only prescribed warm and tonic medicine, and asked Tao to feed and regulate his body first.
But no matter how he recuperates, the small body is still getting weaker and weaker day by day.
When Su Shaohua came back from disaster relief, he learned the news, hurried to Yufu Courtyard, and saw the little man lying on the bed, and almost didn't recognize that it was his daughter.
I haven't seen it for three months, but I saw that the whole villain has lost a lot of weight, thin, where is there excess meat, especially the original round little face has already been thin to reveal a pointed chin, pale, like a gossamer, at this time, I seem to hear someone come in, a pair of big eyes opened in confusion, and when I saw that it was him, he weakly stretched out a thin little hand, and the corners of his mouth raised: "Daddy." โ
"Yuan Yuan!" Su Shaohua saw his daughter's appearance like a knife, and at this moment, when he heard the low sound again, his nose suddenly became sore, and he hurriedly stepped forward, trying to grasp his daughter's outstretched hand, but when he saw the skinny hand, he was careful to touch it.
He carefully held his hand, looked at his daughter's little face with satisfaction, closed his eyes very weakly, exhaled slightly, and his eyes fell on the Tao who was sitting on the edge of the bed, and his face was also pale.
"Thank you, Jin'er. Su Shaohua said in a low voice.
Tao naturally saw that her husband was back, but before she was all focused on her daughter, she couldn't say a word, and now she bit her lip, her eyes were red, and she only said: "You, you are back." โ
"Well, I'm back. Su Shaohua said, his eyes flashed slightly, but his right hand couldn't help pinching his sleeve. When he entered the house just now, a yellow-haired child handed him a note, saying that it was sent by Master Pushan who was wandering abroad, and he opened it and saw that there was only one word on it: "Xun".
At first, he didn't know about his daughter, and he didn't understand the meaning of the word, but when he learned that his daughter was sick, he understood in an instant.
"Jin'er, I have sent someone to find Doctor Xun, I believe that I will be able to find him soon, and by then, Yuan Yuan will be fine. Su Shaohua took his wife into his arms, comforted him softly, and his eyes were far away.
Yes, in the whole world, only Dr. Xun has the ability to treat such an incurable disease, but Dr. Xun has been missing for more than 30 years, and it is still a question whether he can find it.
But listening to his husband's assurance, Tao only felt at ease. She leaned on Su Shaohua's arms and slowly closed her eyes, but she fell asleep. It's no wonder that since Su Xun fell ill for a month, Tao has been holding on, and he doesn't dare to tell the two elders in the mansion the true situation of his daughter, for fear of another accident.
She's so tired......

In Kyoto Castle, at the city gate, there were several circles of ordinary people, all of whom were looking at the notices posted.
"I don't know which noble person in the palace is sick and wants to look for the long-missing Xun Divine Doctor with such fanfare. "Some people wondered.
"Maybe it's a favored concubine. "There is speculation.
The people present were discussing, and for a while, there were different opinions.
Not far from the city gate, there was a simple and unpretentious carriage parked, and inside the car, Su Shaohua was hugging Tao tightly, listening to everyone's discussions.
He sent people to search for seven days, but there was still no news of Xun Shenyi, and Tao was afraid that his daughter couldn't wait, so he entered the palace and asked the Queen Mother for help. Subsequently, Emperor Jiahe issued an order to post notices everywhere to find Dr. Xun.
And since the announcement came out, every day, he would accompany his wife to the city gate to wait, waiting, even if there was an insider, but except for hearing this discussion, there was no news.
Today is the third day of posting the notice, and I am afraid that I will be disappointed again.
Su Shaohua's expression was solemn, but when he felt his wife's body trembling slightly, he lowered his eyes and wanted to comfort him softly.
At this time, I heard a noise outside.
"Alas, someone has unveiled the notice!"
As soon as this sentence entered their ears, Su Shaohua and Tao were both shocked, and the two glanced at each other, and quickly opened the car curtain.
But the next moment, when they saw the person who unveiled the notice, a trace of disappointment flashed in the eyes of the two.
The man was a little girl of no more than eleven or twelve years old, dressed in a blue coarse cloth dress, her hair was simply pulled up with a wooden hairpin, and her appearance was quite delicate, but she looked a little rustic, as if she had come out of the deep mountains and old forests.
At this moment, she was munching on a sugar gourd in one hand and holding the notice in the other.
"Little girl, are you illiterate? This notice can't be unveiled casually!" someone in the crowd of onlookers kindly advised.
"Hey, aren't you looking for Doctor Xun?" The girl didn't care, and looked at the notice again, and then, with a determined face.
Seeing that determined look, Su Shaohua and Tao looked at each other again, and couldn't help thinking: Doesn't this little girl know where Doctor Xun is?
So the two got out of the carriage, stepped forward slowly, and waved their hands to let the Praetorian Guards who were about to drive people retreat, Su Shaohua took a step forward and said modestly: "Dare to ask this little girl if she knows where Doctor Xun is?"
"Well, I know. The girl smiled, her face showed two deep dimples, but it made her plain face a little sweeter, she nodded, bit off the last sugar gourd, and threw the wooden stick to the ground rudely, while chewing, she stretched out her finger and pointed at herself, and said vaguely: "It's me, Xun Jiu." โ
