Chapter 190 Eavesdropping becomes a habit
The child's illness comes and goes quickly. After Xiaobao's fever subsided, the family did not want to bother others at the hospital. After Mingxiu settled the compensation for the pulse pillow and the money for the medicine, he went straight to the yard rented by Sanniang.
went.
Egret had already agreed with Sanniang to come back.
The small courtyard is at the end of the alley at the corner of the street. When you open the door and go in, Sanniang and her family have been waiting for a long time.
"I've met the master and the house has been tidied up. Do you want to wash up first?"
Mingxiu took a look at the yard. It was worthy of a saying that although the yard was small, it had all the internal organs.
There is a main house and east and west wing rooms. Two big trees are planted in the courtyard. There are also vines and fruits planted on the side of the courtyard wall. They are very beautiful when you can see the fruits.
"Get some water to wash up." After being busy for a while, they also sweated a little, but they felt clean and comfortable.
Mrs. Yuan stepped forward and said to Ming's mother: "Madam, let me hold the young master, and you can rest for a while."
"No need, where is the room? I'll put the baby to sleep first and then wash up."
Ming's mother was worried about handing the little treasure to Miao Manman at this time.
Now Xiaobao's fever has just subsided, and it is still dangerous. If there is an emergency, what will she say if Ye Ziming comes back?
After hearing this, Mrs. Yuan did not force herself, and respectfully led Ming's mother to the room they had packed.
"The sheets and quilts are all washed and not as fine as those in our house. Please forgive me, madam."
Ming's mother shook her head, "That's good."
Let Mrs. Yuan take care of Xiaobao first, while Ming's mother goes out and washes herself up quickly.
Miao Manman took advantage of this moment and stepped forward, "Mom, please leave Xiaobao to me to take care of you. This is the time to make a fuss. Don't let Xiaobao disturb your rest."
"Just rest. If you are interested, get up early tomorrow morning and make some thick millet porridge for Xiaobao."
At this time, the baby had gradually started to eat complementary foods and was weaned. Originally, Ming's mother thought that the baby should not be raised too carefully to avoid being weak.
This is also true. This is the only time since the baby was born that he got sick.
Miao Manman was a little aggrieved. She knew that she had done something inappropriate this time. Was her mother-in-law going to take her son away?
She dare not ask now.
Worried that Ming's mother would be angry, she took Xiaobao away from her.
Now that Ye Ziming is gone, Xiaobao is Miao Manman's lifeblood.
"My daughter-in-law knows."
She wanted to speak for herself, but Ming's mother didn't give her a chance.
After washing, Mingxiu talked to Ming’s mother,
"Mom, my sister-in-law didn't mean to come here. Why are you so harsh and harsh?"
Miao Manman was a mother for the first time, so there were inevitably things she couldn't take care of. Nothing serious happened to Xiaobao. In fact, nothing was unforgivable. Everyone was groping forward.
Ming's mother knew the truth. She came here like this at the beginning, but she seemed very surprised at this moment: "You usually act like a black-eyed chicken to your sister-in-law, but now you can help her speak. It's really rare."
During this period of time, Miao Manman didn't know how many bad things she said about Mingxiu, both overtly and covertly. Wasn't she angry?
Of course, you are angry when you are angry, but it is the same as before.
In the final analysis of what happened this time, although Miao Manman was also at fault, it was Xiaobao's nanny who was even more unscrupulous.
"How can it be confused?" Mingxiu smiled bitterly and shook her head. This time she helped Miao Manman speak. She also thought that the relationship between the two could be eased.
"I feel sorry for you too, mother. How old is Xiaobao? It's the right age to worry. If I follow you, won't you be hurt?"
At this age, Ming's father and Ming's mother should be enjoying their blessings, and Mingxiu now has the ability to let them live a comfortable old age.
Why bother yourself by rushing to take care of your children?
If Xiaobao is not taken care of well, it will be fine just by being around Miao Manman. If Ming's mother is negligent in any way, she will be resented.
It's not Mingxiu's fault, it's because the child mortality rate at this time is too high.
Mingxiu's mother could more or less feel Mingxiu's worries, "Mom doesn't want to be a bad person, but your sister-in-law is a bit too frivolous. I'm worried that she won't do things well and will let Xiaobao suffer in vain."
After all, he is the eldest grandson of their family. Ming's mother regards Ziming as her biological son. How can she not feel sorry for his son?
A good Mingmu would never forget to give Xiaobao a portion. Seeing him suffer this time, her heart was filled with anger.
What else did Mingxiu want to say.
"Okay, Mom just wants to teach your sister-in-law a lesson, and she doesn't really want to take Xiaobao with her. Mom is already very old, how can she withstand the child's troubles? Don't worry."
After hearing the correct words, Mingxiu finally felt relieved.
Only when the family is harmonious will everything prosper.
After Miao Manman entered the door, Mingxiu finally understood the true meaning of this sentence.
"Sister-in-law, you can finally rest assured, right?"
Looking at Miao Manman with a half-smile, Mingxiu wondered why she liked listening to people talking outside the door so much.
If you want to know something, wouldn’t it be a good idea to ask openly?
Miao Manman was a little embarrassed after being caught in the act again.
In the conversation she heard just now, it was Mingxiu who was clearly helping her speak.
Thinking of all the embarrassments she had made to Mingxiu in the past, she felt a little ashamed.
"My sister-in-law was wrong about what happened before. Don't take it to heart."
"I wonder what my sister-in-law is talking about?"
The two looked at each other and smiled, saying nothing.
Mingxiu has never been a narrow-minded person. Even though she doesn't like Miao Manman much in her heart, the person who wants to spend the rest of her life with her is Ye Ziming, not her.
As long as Ye Ziming can tolerate Miao Manman's shortcomings, the opinions of other people in their family are not important.
If you don't like it, just meet less.
Miao Manman's understanding of Mingxiu really changed this time. She watched Mingxiu enter the room and stood alone in the yard, wondering what she was thinking.
"Young Madam, the night is getting cold, why don't you go and rest?"
Evenings in summer are still cold, especially in this pollution-free era. The air is fresh and naturally a bit cool.
Mingxiu likes this kind of climate very much and always finds it very suitable for rest.
Since coming to Desert, she feels that her sleep quality has improved a lot and she has never had insomnia.
Of course it was the same today. She closed her eyes and fell asleep quickly.
A night of silence.
The next morning, Ming's father, Ming's mother, and Miao Manman took Xiaobao to the hospital for a review, while Mingxiu was invited by the Regent's Palace again.
Their parents would not stop Mingxiu and Xie Zhan from meeting each other, but were happy to see it happen.
Although this is technically against the rules, their family's situation often cannot be measured by rules.
Stepping into the study room of the Prince Regent's Mansion, Xie Zhan's expression was a bit... hard to describe.
Seeing Mingxiu coming, he forced himself to smile a bit.
But his reaction, which was similar to a forced smile, could not hide it from Mingxiu's eyes, "What's wrong?"
What could make Xie Zhan so bitter and resentful?
He sighed and rubbed his brows with his big, knuckled hands, "The murderer of Dr. Li...maybe in my house. I have some guesses and want you to help analyze it."
It's not that Xie Zhan doesn't have advisers under his command, but they all have their own perspectives and cannot look at the problem objectively.
At times like this, Mingxiu's advantage becomes very obvious.
Mingxiu sat down directly on the Taishi chair on the left, and made a gesture of listening.
A girl will come for tea soon.
The girl serving tea glanced at Mingxiu curiously.
It is said that Princess Showa was very valued by the prince, and when we saw her today, it turned out to be true.
She stayed a little too long, and Mingxiu looked over in confusion.
Although the girl serving Xie Zhan is not absolutely beautiful, her appearance is definitely decent.
To be fair, Mingxiu felt that her appearance was not as good as that of the girl serving tea.
He smiled kindly and waited for her next words.
But the girl seemed to be frightened and quickly bowed and retreated.
Watching her leave with great interest, Mingxiu sighed in her heart, indeed, being in a high position has its benefits. No, even the girls are prettier than others.
"Ahem...what are you looking at?"
Although it was a woman who attracted Mingxiu's attention, Xie Zhan still felt a little uncomfortable.
