Chapter Seventy-Eight: Full of Sorrow

Even Qi Yuan couldn't help how bad the illness was, no need for Qi Xuan to say, Nie Suhyun couldn't be clearer, but what he didn't expect was that not long ago, he was just delayed because of the official duties of the palace guards, and not long after he didn't go to the Chengbeiding Palace's birthday banquet to the old princess, the Xu family actually came out with bad news one after another, although Xu Chen is still hanging his last breath because of ginseng and snow lotus and other century-old elixirs, but if this goes on for a long time, there will be no turnaround after all.

"But you came to Taixue in such a hurry just to ask me about Chen'er?" Qi Xuan raised his eyebrows and looked at Nie Suhyun and asked.

Nie Suhyun now came to Taixue with even the armor of the Praetorian Guards still on his body, which shows that he came in a hurry. But what can make him so busy that he didn't even change his clothes and came all the way to Taixue to find Qi Xuan, was it just for Xu Chen?

"Well, I just heard the imperial doctors talk about this in the palace, so I hurried here to find you, Brother Qi." What Qi Xuan didn't expect was that Nie Suhyun replied frankly.

"......" Qi Xuan was speechless for a while.

"Then Brother Qi, can you take me to Xu Mansion and visit Xu Chen?" But Qi Xuan was speechless, but Nie Suhyun asked him to come up without any ambiguity.

The relationship between Nie Suhyun and Xu Chen is actually not very close, and because of Xu Yourong, even Xu Chen, when facing Nie Suhyun, although he can't say the word "hate", he really can't get close, even if Nie Suhyun's literary style also impresses Xu Chen. But Xu Yourong has always been Xu Chen's sister, and she is one of the most beloved and best people to Xu Chen. Therefore, for Nie Suhyun, who made Xu Yourong work so hard, Xu Chen really couldn't get close to him.

As for Nie Suhyun vs. Xu Chen, it's much simpler - Xu Chen is Xu Yourong's younger brother. Aloof.

So how can the relationship be close to these two people? But it was the two people who were so estranged, after hearing the news that Xu Chen was sick, how could Nie Suhyun come to Taixue in a hurry, just to ask Qi Xuan to take him to Xu Mansion to visit Xu Chen?

Qi Xuan looked thoughtfully at the handsome young man in front of him who had a hint of coldness because of the armor, and asked for him. There was no promise or refusal.

And Nie Suhyun was not in a hurry, but just looked back at Qi Xuan calmly.

Xu Chen and Nie Suhyun's friendship, Nie Suhyun himself knows best. It wasn't good enough for him to come to Qi Xuan so anxiously, so why did he do it? In fact, Nie Suhyun himself didn't know and was very confused.

Because when he heard that Xu Chen was seriously ill and collapsed, the first thing he remembered was not Xu Youshan, but another face that was always so bright and unscrupulous. It may have been filled with sorrow by now.

"Okay."

But just when Nie Suhyun thought of Xu Yourong inexplicably. When he was inexplicably upset that she was worried, Qi Xuan suddenly agreed to Nie Suhyun's request.

"Thank you, Brother Qi." Nie Suhyun looked up at Qi Xuan with surprise in his eyes and said.

And just like that, under the request of Nie Suhyun, Qi Xuan went back and talked to Qi Hong and Zhai Yu, and then took Nie Suhyun to Dongyang Lane, but they left too quickly. So much so that I didn't see that when Qi Xuan said that he was going to visit Xu Chen in the Xu Mansion, Zhai Yu's eyes shook with a different brilliance.

……

……

Dongyang Lane. Xufu.

"Eldest Miss, Second Miss, Eldest Miss is here."

After Xu Chen fell seriously ill, there was a lot of confusion in the Xu family's big house, but it was not easy to be far away in the Beiding Palace, because after the old princess of Beiding learned that even Qi Yuan was helpless about Xu Chen's illness, the old princess's spirit began to deteriorate, and everyone in the Beiding palace was frightened all the time during this time, and she was afraid that the old princess would be like some time ago, and her health would deteriorate.

Therefore, in recent days, not only Qi Yuan has been busy running between Dongyang Lane and Beiding Wangfu, but even Xu Mingcheng has been running to Xu's Mansion in Dongyang Lane for a while, running to visit Xu Chen and Pei's family, and also to visit the anxious Xu Youshan and the three of them by the way; After a while, he ran back to the Beiding Palace, and went to the west bank of Shiji to serve the old princess.

And at this moment, it was when Xu Mingcheng ran to Dongyang Lane to visit Xu Youshan and them.

"Let her in."

Xu Mingcheng was not easy during this time, Xu Yourong naturally knew it, so as soon as Xu Mingcheng entered the house, Xu Yourong pulled her and said: "The spirit of the ancestor is not good recently, you just concentrate on staying by her old man's side, why do you always run here, it's not tired enough, right?" ”

"You think I love this, I still wish I could only stay by my ancestor's side, but my ancestor doesn't allow it, and always asks me to come over to see your situation. And if it weren't for my uncle and grandmother to stop me, I guess my ancestor would have to come over in person. Xu Yourong is worried about her, how can Xu Mingcheng not know, but Xu Youshan's current situation is not optimistic, if Xu Mingcheng is allowed to stand by and watch, then she really can't do it.

"How is Brother Chen'er doing now?" So when Xu Mingcheng looked at Xu Yourong and was about to talk at length again, he immediately diverted the topic and said.

"It's still like that." And when Xu Yourong heard Xu Mingcheng's question, he really looked stunned and replied in a deep voice.

But in fact, Xu Mingcheng didn't want to see Xu Yourong sad, but the word "Xu Chen" was a topic that they couldn't avoid, so after Xu Yourong and Xu Mingcheng were silent for a while, Xu Mingcheng asked with a smile: "What about Sister Wu and Sister Shan?" ”

"Sister Shan'er's turn to go to Sheng Anxuan today, look at this hour, it is estimated that she will come back from school in a while. As for the sister-in-law, she had just gone to the front with the bow steward to inspect the treasury in person, and she would come back immediately. Xu Yourong pulled the corners of his mouth and said.

"That's ......"

Xu Yourong and Xu Mingcheng were talking, while walking towards the main room, Xu Mingcheng came to Dongyang Lane, and he wanted to say goodbye to the elders, but at this time, the old lady Xu Rong and the eldest master Xu Xi were not in the house, and they were still in the court. Therefore, Xu Mingcheng first went to Qinhuatang to greet Mrs. Qi at the beginning, but was told by Qingwu that Mrs. Qi had just fallen asleep after drinking the medicine, so she had to leave in the courtyard. Walk towards the Shadow Qiang Courtyard and come to greet Pei's family.

And this time, Pei Shi didn't rest anymore, and he already got up and stayed by Xu Chen's side, but when Xu Mingcheng saluted her, Pei Shi still looked at Xu Mingcheng vacantly as during this time. There is nothing else to say.

"Is Uncle Cousin still like this?" Xu Mingcheng looked at Pei Shi, who was like a wooden doll, and asked worriedly.

"Hmm." Xu Yourong lowered his eyes and walked to Pei's side. Picked up the hand stove that was already a little cold in her hand for her, took the hand stove with just the right temperature from Liu Yin, who was finally relieved, and put it into Pei Shide's hand.

And Xu Yourong and Xu Mingcheng stayed in the room in silence for a while before returning to the study. Neither of them spoke much on the way. It's just a few steps away. But in such a depressing atmosphere, it felt like walking for a long time, so long that Xu Yourong and Xu Mingcheng mistakenly thought that this distance was as far as the distance from Dongyang Lane to Beiding Wangfu.

"Eldest sister, you're here." But Xu Yourong and the others finally returned to the study in silence, and before they even sat on their buttocks, Xu Ming's wife had already returned.

"Well, sister-in-law. You've worked hard these days. Xu Yourong and Xu Mingcheng got up to meet Xu Mingwen, and Xu Mingcheng even took Xu Mingwen's hand and said distressedly.

"It's fine. Eldest sister, you and Sister Rong don't look at me with such eyes, I'm just helping some hands, and the biggest contributors are Steward Ju and Mama Lu. Xu Mingwen turned around and said to Steward Ju and Mama Lu.

"Second Miss is serious." Regarding Xu Ming's words, Steward Ju and Mama Lu hurriedly excused themselves.

"Sister sister, it's a fact that you've worked hard, so don't be modest, but Steward Ju and Mama Lu have also worked hard during this time, if it weren't for you, this time things would probably be in chaos." Xu Yourong thanked Xu Mingwen and them gratefully.

And for Xu Yourong's gratitude, Xu Mingwen was embarrassed, and Steward Ju and Mama Lu were more prevaricated, after all, what Xu Yourong said was the truth, but they couldn't take credit like this, besides, these were not all the orders of the old lady Xu Rong and Mrs. Qi, so of course Steward Ju and Mama Lu did not dare to take this first credit, and the two of them resigned again before bowing to Xu Yourong and the three of them to leave.

"Sister-in-law, have you taken care of everything?"

After Steward Ju and Mama Lu teased and retreated, Xu Yourong and the three of them sat down separately, and Xu Yourong also asked about Xu Ming's business.

"It's all done, in fact, as long as the form is in hand, the inventory of the warehouse is also very easy, and besides, this is just a routine check for less than three months, and it is not a big deal. Just after I and Steward Ju finished checking the form, we found that the inventory was correct, and we came back. Xu Mingwen replied.

"That's good." Hearing Xu Ming's words, Xu Yourong smiled reassuringly.

"Okay, okay, you two really don't leave these things with your mouth shut, are you tired? Well, now that things are over, let's go outside, you probably just have to bury your heads in the ledger these days, how many days have you not gone out to breathe? Xu Mingcheng looked at Xu Yourong and Xu Mingwen with a posture of planning to talk about business again, and said really unbearably.

“……”

"Okay!" And as soon as Xu Mingcheng finished speaking, Xu Mingwen was speechless, is it time to take care of going out to breathe? There are still a lot of things to deal with, so Xu Mingwen was about to refuse Xu Mingxi's proposal, but before her words could be spoken, Xu Yourong on the side nodded vigorously and said okay, which made Xu Mingcheng very happy, but Xu Mingwen was stunned for a while before reacting.

"Sister Rong, why are you messing around with your eldest sister."

"Ming's wife, what did you say?" Xu Mingcheng raised her eyebrows and looked at Xu Mingwen dangerously.

"Ming's wife, during this time, you are the hardest among the three of us, but Sister Shan and I are so anxious that we forgot to let you take a good rest, and we just keep you busy for us. …… Sister-in-law, I'm sorry. Xu Yourong didn't care about Xu Ming's disapproval of the proposal to go out to breathe, and ignored Xu Ming's sister-in-law, who was dangerously approaching Xu Ming's daughter-in-law, but sincerely said sorry to her.

"Sister Rong..."

"Okay, okay, who are you two sensationalizing to see, deliberately showing sisterhood in front of me to stimulate me, a girl who has already been married, right? I don't take you like this, okay, stop talking nonsense, let me go. ”

Xu Mingwen was just moved by Xu Yourong's words, but this touching didn't last long, and she was interrupted by Xu Mingrong very simply, and said the theory that made Xu Yourong and the others cry and laugh, and didn't give them a chance to express their high opinions, and directly dragged Xu Yourong and Xu Mingwen outside.

*****

At noon, Sheng Anxuan is at the end of school, and the children of the second room of the Xu family's big house will rush out of Sheng Anxuan at this time, and happily run back to the house or Qilin Fang. And today's Sheng'an Xuan is the same, in the voice of Mr. "Loose school" sounded, the children were very happy, including Xu Ling, who is twelve years old this year, and Xu Yi, who is eleven years old, is also at the beginning of noon, happy to take the scholars back home, not at all because of Xu Chen's illness recently and was not affected in the slightest, the two still immature little faces, full of carefree and cheerful smiles.

But unlike Xu Ling and Xu Yi, at this time, in the open house of Sheng'an Xuan Girls' School, there was only Xu Youshan in the open house of one student, after Wen Ruyi glanced at Xu Youshan, but finally left without saying anything, although Xu Youshan also hurriedly greeted Chu Dai and Liu's mother, who had now recovered from serious injuries, to pack up their things and hurry back to Dongyang Lane, but there was no trace of joy on her face.

Xu Youshan's face was full of sadness at this time.

"Miss, it's all packed, you can go."

"Okay, let's go back quickly, I don't know how much else there is today, whether the eldest sister and sister-in-law can be busy, let's leave quickly."

Xu Youshan rushed towards the Yingqiang Courtyard without delay, but when she just walked to the second gate, she saw an acquaintance, it was the servants of the Beiding Palace, Xu Youshan had seen it several times when she went to the Beiding Palace, so now when she saw them standing at the second gate, she couldn't help but think: Could it be that Sister Huan is here?

Xu Youshan guessed well, Xu Mingcheng did come, but what she misunderstood was that these people did not come with Xu Mingxi, but with Qi Xuan. At this time, among the people who came to visit Xu Chen in Xu Mansion in Dongyang Lane, in addition to Xu Mingxi, there were two other people, that is, Qi Xuan and Nie Suhyun.

"Shiziye, Sixth Prince Nie." (To be continued......)
