On the fifth day after Mingzhu left the capital, Yueyao heard that the maid of Niufu sent her a letter, saying that Xiao Tuanzi was sick, and Lord Niu was still in the palace at this time.

Yue Yao got the news and hurried to Niufu. Seeing the little ball with a red face, he couldn't help but get angry at Bai Yi: "How do you take care of the child?" Mingzhu has only been away for a few days, and Xiaotuanzi has a fever? ”

Bai Yi sighed: "Xiao Tuanzi listened to the instigation of the servants below, thinking that the girl and her aunt didn't want him anymore, so he got sick." ”

Yueyao's face tightened: "What kind of person dares to say such a heart-wrenching thing in front of Brother Tuan?" Mingzhu just left the capital with his two younger sons on the front foot and followed Niu Yanghui on the back foot, and someone on the back foot said this kind of thing in front of Xiao Tuanzi, which was obviously an ulterior motive. No matter how smart Xiao Tuanzi is, after all, he is still a six-year-old child, can he not be sad and sad when he hears this.

Bai Yi was a little ashamed: "It's a housekeeper who was kidnapped by his wife on an errand, and this time it was my negligence." She didn't expect this man to be so bold. Yueyao's face sank, she had taken care of the house by herself, didn't she know that there was a cat in it: "Only a thousand days to be a thief, there is no reason to prevent thieves for a thousand days." Have you hired a doctor? ”

Bai Yi nodded and said, "I have invited Imperial Doctor Liu, and I should be there soon." "Dr. Liu is good at pediatrics, so it is most suitable to ask him. When Yue Yao heard that she had already invited a doctor, she didn't say anything, but just took off the towel on Xiao Tuanzi's forehead and changed it for him.

Imperial Doctor Liu came soon, and after diagnosing the pulse, he prescribed a prescription: "Mrs. An don't worry, when the eldest prince finishes taking the medicine and the fever is gone, he will be fine." Hearing this, Yue Yao immediately relaxed. Unless it's 100% fine, the Imperial Doctor wouldn't have said it so simply. Yueyao took the medicine and coaxed Xiao Tuanzi for a long time before letting him finish the medicine, and then coaxed Xiao Tuanzi to sleep. At this time, Master Niu came back. After Yue Yao waited for Master Niu to see Xiao Tuanzi, she said, "Lord Niu, I don't know if it's inconvenient, there is something I want to talk to Lord Niu." Niu Lao glanced up at Yue Yao, and the sharp eyes were unbearable for ordinary people. It's a pity that Yueyao is not in this case: "Go out and talk about it!" When he arrived in the living room, Mr. Niu said with a faint expression: "If there is anything, just say it!" "You don't have to think about it to know that what this woman said is definitely not a good thing. Yue Yao relayed what Bai Yi said, and then said: "Lord Niu, with all due respect, the root cause of these women daring to chew the root of their tongues lies in you, Lord Niu. "Yue Yao actually knew that this matter had nothing to do with Lord Niu, this person deliberately explained the bad words of Zhu in front of Xiao Tuanzi, and wanted to separate the mother-son relationship between Mingzhu and Xiao Tuanzi, it should be to take revenge on Mingzhu. When Niu Lao heard this, his face sank: "Does Mrs. An suspect that I ordered this matter?" "If Lian Yueyao said that this matter was instructed by him, it would be really ridiculous. Yue Yao shook her head and said, "Lord Niu, I'm not a fever in my head, how could I doubt you?" It's just that everyone in the mansion knows how you have a relationship with Mingzhu. These people deliberately said these words in front of Brother Tuan'er, but they did not cater to the thoughts of adults. "Yueyao is actually worried, Lord Niu is so dislike Mingzhu, as long as he reveals one or two in front of Xiao Tuanzi on weekdays, and Mingzhu is not by Xiao Tuanzi's side, it will definitely have an impact on Xiao Tuanzi at that time.

Master Niu is not an ordinary person, and the person who can be a second-grade member is not an ordinary person: "Mrs. An might as well say something directly, there is no need to beat around the bush." ”

Yue Yao pondered in her heart and said, "Lord Niu, you have always suspected that Niu Yangchao's death was not an accident, but a poisonous hand under Mingzhu, am I right?" Master Niu just looked at Yue Yao and didn't answer. Master Niu's gloomy appearance, if it was replaced by Mingzhu, it would definitely have been pestleed, but Yueyao looked as usual: "Whether Lord Niu believes it or not, Niu Yangchao's death was an accident, and it has nothing to do with Mingzhu." I won't hide it from you, Mingzhu told me that she won't let Aunt Liu go. It's just that before she could do anything, something happened to Niu Yangchao, and Aunt Liu hanged herself when she got the news. "For Master Niu, Mingzhu is the enemy who killed his son, and this incident has a lot of trouble. Yue Yao has always been very worried that Master Niu didn't really let go of this matter, he just pressed this matter for the time being, waiting for the right opportunity He will avenge Niu Yang Dynasty, and then Mingzhu's situation will be dangerous. A fierce look flashed in Master Niu's eyes, but it was fleeting: "I don't know where Mrs. An heard this rumor and had such an idea." ”

Yue Yao looked at Master Niu's expression and knew that Master Niu didn't really let go, but the situation was stronger than people, and he just couldn't press it. Yue Yao sighed in her heart, this matter is really tricky, Xiang Wei explained that Zhu is stupid, and Yue Yao also deeply agreed at this time: "Maybe I'm thinking too much." Lord Niu, I heard Mingzhu say that you love Xiaotuanzi very much. Speaking of Xiao Tuanzi, Master Niu's expression eased a lot: "My grandson, I naturally hurt." Yue Yao's heart was relieved when she saw this, and she knew that he really loved Xiao Tuanzi by looking at Master Niu's expression: "Yes, Xiao Tuanzi is smart and lovely, and I like it too." Master Niu didn't think that Yue Yao was a good word, his face turned cold, and he said, "What does Mrs. An want to say?" Yue Yao said bluntly: "Xiao Tuanzi is very smart, under the teaching of Lord Niu, he will definitely be better than the blue in the future, so that the Niu family will go to the next level." But has Lord Niu ever thought that Xiao Tuanzi is still a six-year-old child, and what he needs most at this age is the love of his parents. But now someone told him that his mother didn't want him, do you know how much it hurts a child? If someone says this in front of him all the time that his mother doesn't love him and doesn't want him anymore, he will definitely have a grudge against his mother in the long run, how cruel this is for a child. "What Yue Yao is really worried about is not those bad servants, but Master Niu. Master Niu couldn't hear the meaning of Yue Yao's words, and laughed angrily at the moment, and said: "It's hard for Mrs. An to worry about my grandson so much, and it's also a blessing for my grandson." Yueyao looked indifferent: "I said this for the sake of Mingzhu." I don't want to cause a gap between their mother and son because of some inexplicable things, causing irreparable damage. Master Niu knew that Yueyao and Mingzhu had a very close relationship, but he didn't expect Yueyao to be so concerned about Mingzhu's affairs: "You are so concerned because you want Xiao Tuanzi to be your son-in-law, and you are worried that their mother and son will not be compatible, and it will be difficult for your daughter to do it in the future?" Yue Yao felt that Master Niu's divergent thinking was not flattering, and Yue Yao chuckled: "You think too much, the children are so young, who knows what will happen in the future!" ”

Master Niu felt that Yue Yao was a little interesting: "Since it's not, why do you bother to tell me this." ”

Yue Yao sighed lightly: "I have known Mingzhu for more than ten years, and she is the cleanest and simplest person I have ever seen. So, I hope she will always be as happy as she is now. ”

Master Niu doesn't think that Mingzhu is simple and clean, in his eyes, Mingzhu is rude and willful, plus vicious means. As Yue Yao expected, Master Niu always thought that the death of his youngest son was a poisonous hand under Mingzhu, and he was extremely disgusted with Mingzhu. If it weren't for the fact that Mingzhu's background was too hard and his eldest son was extremely protective, he would not have let Mingzhu go.

Yue Yao didn't say anything more: "Lord Niu, just now you said that you love Xiao Tuanzi very much. If you really love Xiaotuanzi, you should let him grow up carefree and happy. Old Man Niu looked at Yue Yao with complicated eyes.

Yue Yao didn't say anything more, and bowed to Master Niu: "I have a reluctant request, I want to wait until Xiao Tuanzi wakes up before going back." Master Niu was silent for a long time, and finally glanced at Yueyao and said, "Yes." After saying that, Master Niu left the yard. After Yue Yao waited for Master Niu to leave, she found that her back was soaked. Seeing Bai Yi coming out of the house, Yueyao said, "Let someone go and get a set of clothes." Bai Yi said gratefully: "Yueyao, I thank you on behalf of my girl." She heard what Yue Yao and Master Niu said just now. Yueyao smiled: "Between me and Mingzhu, what else do you want to talk about?" I only hope that Master Niu can let go of his knots, otherwise Mingzhu will be in trouble sooner or later. "As the head of the Niu family, Master Niu really wants to embarrass the pearl, and there will be a pearl in the future. Bai Yi looked a little hesitant. What a shrewd person Yue Yao was, she knew what she was thinking when she saw Bai Yi's expression. Yue Yao actually guessed that Niu Yangchao's death was inseparable from Jingning Houfu. It's just that everyone is dead, and it is useless to pursue this root cause. Yue Yao shook her head and said, "I'll go in to see Xiao Tuanzi." ”

Bai Yi regretted it a little now, this matter seemed to be done a little hastily. Xiao Tuanzi didn't wake up until the beginning of Shen Shichu in the afternoon, and when he opened his eyes and saw Yue Yao, there was a touch of disappointment in his eyes: "Auntie." ”

Yue Yao was a little distressed and said, "You kid, your mother has only been away for a few days and has a fever. If your mother knows, she will definitely cry and can't sleep? Xiao Tuanzi's eyes lit up, and his expression darkened: "Auntie, they said that my mother doesn't want me anymore, and my mother only needs two younger brothers." Yueyao touched Xiao Tuanzi's head and said, "Silly child, you were born in October when your mother was pregnant, how could I give you up." It's just that your grandfather is alone in the capital and wants you to stay with him. For this, your mother cried so much that she couldn't walk on the pier on the day she left, and she gave thousands of instructions to let me come and see you more. Xiao Tuanzi looked at Yue Yao with sparkling eyes and asked, "Auntie, are you telling the truth?" At this time, Xiao Tuanzi's nurse had already brought his clothes. Yueyao personally changed Xiaotuanzi's clothes, and the maid changed all the beds. Yue Yao dressed Xiao Tuanzi, tapped Xiao Tuanzi's nose, and said, "Is it true that you don't think about it yourself?" You stupid child, your mother still says that you are very smart on weekdays, and you believe it when a few mothers-in-law say a few words of gossip, and you are sick for this, stupid or not! Bai Yi brought shredded chicken porridge. Xiao Tuanzi had just sweated, the fever had subsided, and his body was still soft. Yueyao was reluctant to put down the small ball, and took the porridge to feed. Xiao Tuanzi was a little shy: "Auntie, no, I'll come by myself." Yueyao smiled: "When you get better, you want your aunt to feed you, and your aunt won't feed you anymore." "When children are older, they have to learn to be independent. Xiao Tuanzi was full of food and drink, and his spirit improved a lot. Yueyao sat on the edge of the bed and said with a smile, "Can't sleep?" I can't sleep, and my aunt will tell you a story, okay? Xiao Tuanzi's eyes lit up: "Okay." ”

Yueyao's voice was very soft, telling the story of a tortoise and rabbit race. In fact, these stories were told by Yuehuan to her own son, and later wrote down these little stories to Yueyao. After telling the story of the tortoise and the little rabbit racing, Xiao Tuanzi began to think about it very seriously, and then said very seriously: "Auntie, does this story say that you should be humble and not proud. Yue Yao nodded: "Xiao Tuanzi is so smart." Okay, I'm going to listen to the story, and I'll tell you about it next time, so go to bed now. ”

Xiao Tuanzi squinted very obediently. Yueyao waited until Xiao Tuanzi fell asleep before going home. I thought that I would hear my son's cry when I got home, but I didn't expect the three children to play happily in the wing. Xiang Wei said proudly: "With me, there is nothing that can't be done." Look at it, these three boys will definitely obey in the future. "Dare to be disobedient, one word, beat. Yue Yao smiled: "You still have a way." Xiang Wei smiled: "How is Xiao Tuanzi?" Xiang Wei shook her head and said, "I'll tell you, Mingzhu is an idiot, right?" But you still don't believe it. If it were me, I would have to take Xiaotuanzi to Suzhou anyway. Hearing this, Yue Yao glared at Wei fiercely: "For such a big matter, you didn't even ask me and Mingzhu what they meant, and you didn't think about the consequences." Now that this trouble is provoked, you are embarrassed to explain the beads. Filial piety comes first, what can Master Niu do if he insists on keeping a small group in the pearl of the capital? Do you want them to get out of harmony? Or let Mingzhu stay in the capital and let Niu Yanghui go to Suzhou alone? Niu Yanghui has a deep affection for Mingzhu, but he is not the eldest cousin Ma Peng, even if Master Niu does not give him a concubine, Niu Yanghui will definitely take a concubine if he stays in Suzhou for several years. Xiang Wei was unwilling, and admitted that Yueyao's scolding was reasonable. Yue Yao looked at Xiang Wei's expression and sighed slightly: "Forget it, things are already like this, it's not interesting to talk about it, let's take more care of that child in the future." Master Niu didn't stop her from visiting Xiao Tuanzi, showing that this matter was not as bad as she imagined.

Xiang Wei hurriedly said: "Don't worry, Brother Sheng'er will leave the three to me." "Xiao Kexin is too well-behaved and obedient to teach. The three boys are so skinny, just give her a practice. Yue Yao really planned to wait for the children to reach the age of three and let Xiang Wei teach them martial arts. In the past, Xiang Wei couldn't use force because of a hidden illness, but now that her health is better, it is not a problem to teach the three boys. Xiang Wei didn't know that Yueyao still had this plan: "You don't want to cultivate a successor?" ”

Yue Yao smiled: "You think the successor is so easy to find, my teacher has been looking for more than forty years to find a successor like me." Painting must not only be talented, but also interested. Xiang Wei doesn't argue with Yueyao about such trivial matters: "You asked Mr. to teach Kexin how to learn characters, won't the three boys also plan to invite Mr. in the future?" ”

Yue Yao nodded: "Sir will teach better than me." "Let's not talk about learning or anything, it's easy to be soft-hearted when teaching your own children, and if you are soft-hearted, it will be bad, so Yueyao never planned to teach a few children by herself.
