Flowers in full bloom

Chapter 185: Change the battlefield?

The group slowly walked out of the school building.

Zhou Ziren's family was already waiting at the school gate. Everyone said goodbye and went home.

Hua Lei first sent Rong Jue back to the Marquis' Mansion, then went to Songhe Hall to say hello to Old Madam Pei, and then took Xiao Yuan back to Qingyun Lane.

It was another sumptuous dinner, and Xiaoyuan’s belly was full again. The brother and sister took a slow walk in the yard.

"Xiaoyuan, did you get first place in the November monthly exam again?" Hua Lei asked.

"Well, yes." Xiaoyuan replied.

"You still didn't sleep well at night, and you didn't move during breaks?" Hua Lei frowned.

"No, I slept well and exercised well." Xiaoyuan replied.

"Really?" Hualei was a little unconvinced. "How can you still get first place in the exam?"

"Who knows?" Xiao Yuan said perfunctorily. He looked at Hua Lei and asked directly, "Why did you make egg yolk pastry for Third Brother Yun Hai? Do you want him to ask Yun Hai to give in to me?"

"Tsk, what are you dreaming of? I asked him to ask Yunhai to give in to you? If I really had this idea, wouldn't it be more effective for me to send Yunhai directly? Also, do you need him to give in? You want him to give in to you?" Hua Lei curled her lips.

"Then why did you make egg yolk pastry and give it to his third brother?" Xiao Yuan frowned, and his mature face looked even more serious.

Hua Lei looked at him and did not hide anything. She told him about how she met Bai Yunhe by chance when approving the fishery salt and how she got his help. When she mentioned that the egg yolk pastry was a thank-you gift, Xiao Yuan frowned even more and said.

"Then shouldn't you just let me pass it to Yunhai? You made an appointment with him to meet today? Aren't you here to pick me up today? You came here to see him and give him a thank-you gift." Xiaoyuan's voice rang out unconsciously.

"I didn't make an appointment to meet him. I came here to pick you up and give him a thank-you gift." Hua Lei raised her voice unconsciously. Aunt Song and others poked their heads out of the house. The brother and sister shut their mouths at the same time.

Xiaoyuan looked at Hualei, sighed as if he was disappointed with her, and turned to go upstairs. Hualei was a little confused and followed him upstairs. The siblings sat down in the study on the second floor.

"You also accepted the pills he gave you." After hearing Hua Lei say that Bai Yunhe also gave her pills, and seeing the wooden box that Hua Lei pushed over, Xiao Yuan widened his eyes.

"Well, but it's not for me, it's for you. He said this is a prescription written by the imperial physician of the Imperial Medical Bureau, and it's very good for regulating the body. He said Yunhai started taking it when he was very young and it was very effective. This is a month's supply, why don't you try it." Hua Lei looked at Xiao Yuan hopefully.

Seeing that Xiao Yuan didn't respond, he continued, "If you're worried, how about I take it to the Marquis' Mansion tomorrow and ask Grandmother Pei? And by the way, let Doctor Xu from the Marquis' Mansion check the pill? If there's really no problem, you can try it again?"

Xiao Yuan sat there blankly, and couldn't help but panic. "It's over, it's over. My sister is going to become the second Madam Han. She starts to lose her mind when it comes to matters concerning her brothers from her natal family. Is what she did considered as private communication?

Even if it wasn't a private transaction, we shouldn't have made an appointment to meet in private, even if it was just to pick me up. But what should I do? Others can blame her, but I...what qualifications do I have to blame her?" Xiao Yuan pulled his hair, feeling extremely distressed.

I helped her block the hairpin not long ago, and now I have to fight on the other side of the battlefield? And that Mr. Gui, his eyes are not right every time he looks at his sister. It's troublesome, why do so many people want to take over this big cabbage of mine?

It would be fine if I wasn't in the mourning period, and I could compare and see who is more suitable for my sister. But it's not possible now. I'm in the mourning period, and there are still two years left. There will be too many changes in these two years, and if it gets out now, my reputation will be bad.

The key is that my sister is a big cabbage. She herself doesn't know what's going on. Isn't she usually very smart? Why is she not sensitive when encountering such a sensitive matter? Although I have accepted the help of others, I should also repay them.

But why did she think that such a private meeting was okay? Did she not consider this issue at all? I'm in trouble. When did my sister become so stupid?

No, why did these people who were trying to dig up the cabbage use me as a test? Did I harm my sister? Not only did I fail to protect the cabbage, but I also became a loophole for others to dig up my cabbage? Xiaoyuan was so worried that he kept pulling his hair.

Seeing Xiao Yuan's worried look, Hua Lei put away the wooden box and said, "I'd better go ask Grandmother Pei tomorrow, and then let Doctor Xu from the Marquis' Mansion check it out first."

The next evening, after seeing Xiaoyuan and Rongjue off, Hualei went to Songheyuan with the wooden box containing the pills. She told Mrs. Pei about the pills. Mrs. Pei gently touched the wooden box and sighed. Although she knew that there would be no problem with the pills, she still asked Nanny Chen to call Doctor Xu from the mansion.

Watching Doctor Xu checking the pills, Old Madam Pei secretly regretted that she had neglected Xiaoyuan from the Imperial College recently in order to deal with the group of guests in the southwest courtyard of the Marquis's mansion and the matters of the clan school.

When Xiaoyuan lived in the Marquis' Mansion, he would ask Doctor Xu to check his pulse and give him medicine. Since Xiaoyuan entered the Imperial College, taking medicine was troublesome, and he had forgotten to take care of Xiaoyuan for a long time. Recently, Xiaoyuan seemed to have lost some weight when he came back. It was probably because he had too much schoolwork and his diet was not as good as that of the mansion.

Alas, my legs and feet are not working well, my brain is not working well, and others are openly trying to steal my boyfriend, but what should I do? Should I say against my will that this pill is not good and cannot be taken? Madam Pei asked herself, I can't do such a thing.

Doctor Xu checked the pills, closed the wooden box again, and said to Madam Pei, "Madam, there is nothing wrong with these pills. They are indeed pills for conditioning the body. Moreover, the formula is exquisite and the efficacy is excellent. They are very suitable for Young Master Hua to take."

Madam Pei nodded, and Doctor Xu withdrew. Looking at the beautiful Hualei, Madam Pei said softly, "Lei'er, I was negligent. Because of the Southwest Institute and the clan school, I really didn't treat Xiaoyuan for a long time.

Doctor Xu has already said that this pill is suitable for Xiaoyuan, so you can give it to him. Health is the most important thing. Let him take it for a month and see how it works. If it works, then you can ask Doctor Xu to give it to Xiaoyuan."

"Grandma Pei, I told you about the pills because I wanted to ask for your advice. There are many things I really don't know how to do well. However, it's not to make Grandma Pei blame herself. My sister and I are already receiving great favors from the Marquis' Mansion by staying here.
