Reborn in a Noble Family - Chapter 9
Chapter 9 A Baby with a Mother Is a Treasure
Mammy Feng trembled and said, “Madam, it’s Old Madam’s intention. Old Madam is afraid of delaying Master and Madam’s matters at the manor. Young Lady’s side is not very serious, and we are watching, so we didn’t send a message.”
“What do you mean not very serious?” Gu Jingshu coughed uncomfortably.
Qiao Xingbang hurriedly hugged Qiao Yunxi with one hand and helped her with the other. “Even if it was Old Madame’s intention, wouldn’t you secretly pass a message over? Fortunately, Qiao Qiao is fine. If there is a chance, can you afford it?”
Nanny Feng buried her head bitterly.
The Old Madame’s suppression of the Changfang had a long history. Old Master and Old Madame were unable to say anything because of filial piety, but it was always the servants who were in a difficult position. If they listened to Old Madame, they would definitely be reprimanded by Old Master and Old Madame. If they defended Old Master and Old Madame, they would be suppressed by Old Madame.
Therefore, if immortals fought, mortals would suffer. This was the life of a servant.
“What’s wrong with Qiao Qiao?” Gu Jingshu asked nervously.
Qiao Yunxi shook his head. “Mother, it looks frightening. It’s actually not that serious. Drinking the medicine, it’s just a swollen bag. There’s no bleeding, no wounds.”
This was probably the longest sentence Qiao Yunxi had said in the past few days.
Gu Jingshu was worried and said to Qiao Xingbang, “Why don’t you invite the manor doctor over to take a look?”
Gu Jingshu didn’t personally hear the diagnosis from the manor doctor, so she wasn’t at ease with anything she said.
The two of them didn’t have time to recuperate and sent Qiao Yunxi back to the east courtyard.
The layout of the Qiao family was very interesting.
Because it was just an ordinary merchant. No matter how wealthy he was, he would still be restricted by his level in his residence. He could no longer cultivate in a “big” state. He could only cultivate in a “refined” state.
The four rooms in Qiao Family occupied four corners of the backyard. From the big room to the four rooms, they were called the Eastern Courtyard, the Southern Courtyard, the Western Courtyard, and the Northern Courtyard. The matriarch’s courtyard was called the Rong Xi Hall, which was also Qiao Family’s “middle courtyard”. The courtyards of the Young Masters and Young Ladies of the few rooms were all arranged in the courtyards of each room. They were the middle courtyards of the courtyards, so there was a small word added in the middle. It was just like the courtyard of Qiao Yunxi. It was called the “East Courtyard”, and the main courtyard where Qiao Xingbang and Gu Jingshu lived was collectively called the “East Courtyard”.
Apart from that, there was nothing special about the layout of the other parts of the Qiao Family courtyard.
After carefully reviewing Qiao Yunxi, the prefecture doctor said to Gu Jingshu, “Because Seventh Young Miss’s injury is on her head, she occasionally feels slightly unwell. She has dizziness and symptoms of being unable to see clearly. As Seventh Young Miss recovers, these symptoms will slowly disappear. Drink the medicine regularly and the congestion behind her head will be fine.”
“After all, it’s a brain injury. Does it have any other effects on Qiao Qiao?” Gu Jingshu asked nervously, not daring to let down her guard.
“Madam, please rest assured. Seventh Young Miss’s head injury is not serious. There is no congestion in her brain. As long as the mass dissipates, it will be fine.” The prefecture doctor knew the situation of the Qiao Clan and knew that Qiao Xi was the only son of the Changfang Clan.
Maybe in the future, Qiao Xi will inherit the long house.
The prefecture doctor prescribed another prescription and gave a few more instructions before leaving with the medicine boy.
Gu Jingshu personally watched as Qiao Yunxi drank the medicine and sat with her for a while before she returned to the main courtyard of the Eastern Hospital exhausted.
“Qiao Qiao is asleep?” Qiao Xingbang asked as he helped Gu Jingshu change her clothes.
Gu Jingshu nodded absent-mindedly.
Qiao Xingbang comforted her guiltily, “The doctor said that Qiao Qiao is fine. Don’t worry too much. Your body is not well. If anything happens to you, Qiao Qiao will be uneasy.”
Seeing that his wife ignored him, Qiao Xingbang gritted his teeth and said, “Didn’t we come back? Watch more during this period of time. Qiao Qiao is young and recovers quickly.”
Gu Jingshu suddenly turned around and looked at Qiao Xingbang gloomily.
Qiao Xingbang’s eyes dodged.
‘”Yes, we’re back. If we don’t come back, we don’t know about Qiao Qiao’s injuries. I don’t expect mother to love Qiao Qiao, but Qiao Qiao is her granddaughter no matter what. Watch for us while we’re away. Tell us if there’s anything you need, can’t you?”
‘”My mother didn’t handle this well,” Qiao Xingbang said with a good temper. “You know that my mother’s temperament is strange. Qiao Qiao doesn’t fit her eyes, so I can’t do anything about it. Why don’t I ask a few more Mammy to watch over her?”
“Haha, aren’t you afraid that Mother will come and chat with you?”
Qiao Xingbang rubbed his nose uncomfortably. “My mother doesn’t care if I pay for it myself. Qiao Qiao is my daughter, so I naturally protect her.”
Gu Jingshu’s expression softened. “You are the eldest son. Mother is harsh on us. I can understand. The bigger the Qiao Family’s family business is, the more rules they have. The heavier the burden on us is. Mother’s expectations for you are extremely high, and even the requirements for our long house are strict.” I’ve been in the Qiao Clan for so many years, and I’ve worked hard in the backyard. I’ll do it myself whenever my body permits. Qiao Qiao is my child. I don’t expect mother to love her much. I just hope that mother can take care of her when I’m inconvenient. You also said that Qiao Qiao is still young. Nothing big happened this time. What if she really hurts her head? What do you want Qiao Qiao to do in the future? What should I do? We can’t accompany Qiao Qiao for the rest of our lives, if she … in the future … ”
After saying that, Gu Jingshu was so nervous that she spoke incoherently, and she put on a sobbing tone.
