Chapter 26 His deep eyes were fixed on her.
Xie Jue leaned close to Old Madam Xie, her voice soft and childish, with a hint of sobbing.
"Great-grandmother, you're finally awake! I was so scared, waaaaah..."
Madam Xie smiled gently at Xie Jue, "Don't worry, don't worry, great-grandmother is fine."
She gently pressed her temples, and her consciousness gradually returned.
He muttered to himself, "I... I've fainted again..."
A year ago, she also fainted once, which terrified the entire Marquis's mansion.
Xie Yanli immediately invited Imperial Physician Zhang from the palace to his residence to treat her.
He was treated all night before waking up, and for the next few days he was always dizzy and lightheaded.
But this time he woke up much faster than before.
And after waking up, I didn't feel as bad as last time.
Meanwhile, Lord Xie and Xie Yanli also discovered it.
This time, Madam Xie not only woke up faster than last time after fainting, but her condition was also much better.
Unexpectedly, Qin Jiuwei invited this unknown young imperial physician.
His medical skills are truly outstanding! He's even better at treating patients than Zhang, the chief physician of the Imperial Medical Academy!
Madam Xie smiled kindly and said, "Imperial Physician Lin, thank you so much. If it weren't for you, this old woman would probably be dead."
Lin An immediately bowed, "Madam, you flatter me."
"Actually, your condition is not serious. I will prescribe a few more doses of medicine later. If you follow the prescription, you will surely recover soon and never faint suddenly like this again."
"Good, good, good." Madam Xie nodded happily.
She turned to look at Qin Jiuwei standing to the side, her eyes full of approval and appreciation.
Since Qin Jiuwei married into the Marquis's mansion, many things in the mansion have become much smoother. She is simply a lucky star for the Marquis's mansion.
Xie Wanning snorted angrily from the side.
I never expected that the young imperial physician Qin Jiuwei invited this time would have such good medical skills!
How come she always gets to be first? It's so unfair!
After prescribing medicine for the old lady, Physician Lin continued to treat Xie Jingchun.
Seeing his furrowed brows, Xie Yanli couldn't help but ask, "How is it, Physician Lin? Is it serious?"
Physician Lin sighed softly, "The reason Young Master Chun is in pain is because residual toxins have not been cleared from his body, and they have been accumulating in his body for half a year, so it will be quite troublesome to treat..."
Qin Jiuwei's heart tightened, but thankfully Physician Lin hadn't finished speaking.
"However, Your Highness, please rest assured that Young Master Chun's illness is just a bit troublesome to treat, requiring daily medication and poultices, but it is not serious and can be managed with gradual conditioning."
Xie Yanli and Qin Jiuwei breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.
Even Xie Jing, who had been silent the whole time, relaxed his stiff, pursed lips a little.
Xie Jue happily pounced on his older brother's lap—those wonderful legs.
"Thank goodness, big brother, you're alright!"
After everyone left, Qinglan Courtyard returned to its usual tranquility.
Qin Jiuwei looked out the window and saw the crescent moon hanging high above her eyes. She covered her mouth and yawned slightly.
Ah, I'm sleepy.
She stood up and curtsied to Xie Yanli, who was sitting upright.
"It's getting late, I'll go and rest now. My husband should rest early too."
Before she could turn around, Xie Yanli suddenly said, "Wait a minute."
Qin Jiu blinked her beautiful peach blossom eyes, as if asking, "What's wrong?"
Xie Yanli's deep eyes were fixed on her.
"Thank you for Chun-ge'er's matter." He paused slightly, then continued, "There are two other children as well; you've taken great care of them both."
Xie Yanli knew that taking care of and raising three children was no easy task.
Moreover, Xie Jingchun and the other two are not Qin Jiuwei's biological children.
She can actually do that.
She is truly a virtuous and kind woman.
Qin Jiuwei chuckled softly upon hearing his words.
"My husband, you're too kind. Now that we've gone through the wedding ceremony, we're husband and wife, and it's only right that we support and help each other."
Now that she's married into the family, she wants to live a good life.
Building a good relationship with Xie Yanli and taking good care of the three children, so that she doesn't have to live in a world of deceit and treachery, is what she wants to do most right now.
Xie Yanli nodded, his thin lips pressed tightly together.
But for some reason, I felt a strange unease when I heard her describe their relationship in such a distant and detached manner.
I actually felt very uncomfortable...
Qin Jiuwei glanced at his expression and noticed that he seemed a little unhappy.
What's wrong with this man?
I don't understand. She should just go to sleep.
The next day.
Xie Jingchun did not go to the martial arts training ground today.
Instead, following Physician Lin's instructions, she stayed indoors applying medicine and didn't go out all day.
In the evening, Qin Jiuwei took Xie Jue to see him.
Xie Jue was wearing new clothes, a light blue brocade robe that made his fair skin stand out even more.
When he smiles, he reveals a few tiny baby teeth, which is very cute, like a little fairy.
Xie Jingchun was leaning against the soft couch when he saw them, and his eyes lit up.
"Mother, you've come."
"Is your injury any better?"
Qin Jiu smiled slightly, clearly sensing that Xie Jingchun's attitude towards her was even closer than before.
She held Xie Jue in her arms and sat down on the soft couch.
Is your leg injury any better?
Xie Jingchun nodded vigorously, "Much better. I've been applying ointment all day, and the wound is noticeably less painful. Physician Lin's medical skills are truly superb."
"If it doesn't hurt, it means it's working. As long as you apply the medicine every day, it should get better soon."
She had complete confidence in Lin An's medical skills.
He saved her from the brink of death many times in his past life.
Qin Jiuwei's gaze fell on Xie Jingchun, who was also wearing a new dress that the embroiderer had recently made.
Xie Jingchun's new clothes were a dark gray brocade robe, with subtle and exquisite patterns embroidered on the cuffs and collar, which made him look handsome and noble.
Qin Jiu smiled slightly, "You look more energetic in your new clothes."
Xie Jingchun scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly.
My mother is really something... she has to praise him even for wearing new clothes...
Huh? Why did you only give one compliment and then stop?
"My Lord."
At that moment, a maid's voice announced something from the doorway.
Xie Yanli strode in, still wearing his court robes.
He is now a third-rank official, wearing a red court robe and a black belt around his waist inlaid with jade, which makes his waist look even more slender and powerful.
His stern face appeared even more angular against the backdrop of his red official robes.
His sword-like eyebrows slanted upwards towards his temples, and his eyes were as deep as a cold pool.
This was the first time Qin Jiuwei had seen him in court attire, and she couldn't help but blink.
He truly is the husband she chose in this life; he is so handsome.
