Cowardly Stepmother Dressed As the Hero

While eating, Cao Mi secretly paid attention to the situation on Qi You’s side. Qi You hesitated for a while, and finally brought the dumplings into the mouth.

After all, Bei’an Palace is a family of powerful people, and they are not stingy when it comes to food. The dumplings that were brought to the host’s dining table were all thin and big, and the delicate dumpling skin was bitten, and the bulging meat inside could be seen. Stuffing and overflowing soup.

Soon, this new food that captured the three young sons in the manor also firmly grasped the stomach of King Bei’an.

For a while, there was no other movement at the dining table, and the five people immersed themselves in their dinner.

After dinner, Cao Mi casually made up a story about a pair of grandfathers and grandchildren. After Monkey King was pinned down the mountain, the grandfather and grandson often went to take care of him, picking some peaches for him to eat. But the great sage is immortal and immortal. After waiting for his grandson to grow into a gray-haired old man, the great sage still looks like that hairy face.

The children listened with great interest and wished they could feed Sun Dasheng peaches by themselves.

Seeing that the impromptu story was also welcomed by the children, Cao Mi breathed a sigh of relief.

She has been paying attention to Xia Lin’s affairs for the past few days. Beisi secretly went to the shop under the original name to investigate, and she found some abnormalities. Cao Mi has no energy to recall the story behind “Journey to the West” for the time being.

After the story was told, Cao Mi left with Qi You as usual.

After a period of time, it was probably because the children had changed a lot. Qi You took the initiative to say, “During this time, Madam took care of the three children alone in the mansion. It was hard work.”

Cao Mi hurriedly replied, “I don’t dare. It’s nothing compared to the prince running around outside.”

“Yeah. But you don’t need to worry too much about Rui’er.” Qi You slowed down, “I know that Doctor Liu’s prescription is useless. I heard that Doctor Hu appeared near the capital a few days ago. I have already sent one. People come to ask.

“Dr. Hu’s medical skills are famous all over the world. When he comes, Rui’er will definitely improve.”

Cao Mi bit her lip, and there was a fog in her heart, which made her forget to answer for a while.

“What’s wrong?” Qi You asked when he noticed her strangeness.

Cao Mi thought about it for a long time, and finally said: “I’m afraid, my concubine, Rui’er…is a heart attack.”

After getting along for this period of time, the three children have become much closer to her, and she can’t watch everything calmly like an outsider like when she first came over.

Now, she seems to have caught some clues about Qi Rui’s anorexia. She doesn’t want to ignore it easily and pin her hopes on a doctor who doesn’t know if it’s useful.

“Heart disease?” Qi You frowned.

Cao Mi nodded.

She walked into a pavilion that blocked the wind by the road, and mentioned Qi Rui’s various reactions these days, “…that’s it, it’s not that Rui’er doesn’t want to eat, he should be very afraid of being too good-looking. .”

After entering the pavilion, Qi You kept pursing his lips and didn’t answer.

After a long while, he said, “I see.”

Cao Mi didn’t want to let it go. She remembered the old servant who was hiding in the afternoon and didn’t dare to answer. She suddenly stepped forward and asked boldly, “Back then, there was something hidden in the matter of my sister’s dystocia, right?”

Qi You took a deep look at her, “It seems that there are indeed servants with broken mouths in Rui’er Courtyard. They all told you?”

Cao Mi was stunned for a moment.

She didn’t want to implicate others, so she shook her head, “In the afternoon, I found that Rui’er was still in good health, not like a child born in difficult labor, so I have doubts in my heart.”

“So it is.” Qi You’s voice softened a little.

“What happened back then?” Cao Mi seized the opportunity to ask again.

Qi You took a deep breath of the cold air of the winter night, “It’s not that I can’t tell you.”

He lowered his head and seemed to be caught up in the past, “Your sister was really healthy at that time, and she didn’t even suffer too much pain during childbirth. From the time the midwife went in to the birth of Rui Er, it took about two or three time.

“At that time, Rui Er was born safely, and everyone thought that the delivery was smooth, and when the mother and child were safe, she … your sister, she suddenly developed symptoms of heavy bleeding.

“The doctor and midwife tried their best to save her, but they failed to save her life.”

Cao Mi breathed slightly.

Even in the modern age of advanced technology, the risk of production still exists. Childbirth is not as simple as giving birth to a child. After giving birth to the child, the mother has to stay in the operating room to observe for a period of time to ensure that there are no other abnormalities.

According to Qi You, the original sister should have died of some kind of postpartum complication or accident.

“Afterwards, they told me that it was Rui’er who was too big and weighed seven pounds when he was born, which made his mother…” Qi You sighed, “Hey, after that, I ordered everyone who knew about this matter not to be allowed to enter the army. When the matter is said, I don’t want Rui Er to listen to such a reason.”

Cao Mi nodded, “It seems that Rui’er should know.”

After all, Qi Rui should have learned about this incident by accident about a year ago. Cao Mi guessed that at first, he might just be sad and affect his appetite. But later, due to the lack of timely enlightenment, the child went to the top of the bull’s horn by himself, and gradually tossed himself into what he is now.

Qi You added: “If this is the case, the medicine stone may not be effective, and others need to be carefully enlightened.”

Cao Mi agreed: “Exactly.”

She has been with Qi Rui for a while, and she has almost figured out the child’s temperament. Now that he knows the reason for his anorexia, he can “prescribe the right medicine”, try to communicate with him, and unravel his heart.

Seeing that she seemed to have a plan, Qi You thought for a while and said, “I will stay in the mansion for a while. Shenyi Hu still has to invite him over and let him treat Ruier. After all, even if it is a heart disease, Ruier is hungry. After so long, the body may also lose money.

“As for the rest… You’ve done a good job these days. I think that the amount of food Rui Er eats tonight has changed compared to before. If you have any ideas, please let me know, and I will try my best to cooperate with you.”

Cao Mi nodded, “Yes.”

Qi You’s cooperation is really good. After all, parents are the most important support for children. Even if he doesn’t do anything, as long as he is willing to accompany the children, it is an irreplaceable existence for the children.

After solving this doubt, Cao Mi felt much more relaxed. She looked at the already darkened sky and bowed to Qi You-, “It’s getting late, the concubine will retire first. It’s rare for the prince to return to the palace, Please rest early and take care of yourself.”

“Retire?” Qi You paused, but suddenly waved his hand and said with a smile, “Well, no, let’s go together.”

As he spoke, he left the pavilion directly, turned into the road leading to Cao Mi’s courtyard, and turned back to signal for Cao Mi to follow along.

“Tonight, I’m going to spend the night in your room.”
