"Let's go, grandfather. I'll go to the front yard and give you a few acupuncture needles."

Hearing this, Liu Xinyue laughed helplessly, old village head was living more and more like a child, to the point where he was even able to forget that his own leg was not painful.

"Okay okay, isn't that the golden needle you gave Wang Mang earlier?" With the support of Liu Xinyue and Cai He, they headed towards the front courtyard.

From afar, they could hear the old village head's voice.

"I just saw you use that powerful golden needle, girl."

"Yes, yes, grandfather, I will give you a few acupuncture needles in a while. I guarantee that your leg won't hurt anymore."

"After this, you can stand for as long as you want. Hehe."

Their voices got lower and lower until they could no longer hear them.

The backyard became silent. A breeze blew past, dispersing a peach tree in the courtyard. The peach blossom danced in the air.

A moment later, with a creaking sound, the door of a room that was originally tightly shut opened.

Madam Zhuge peeked his head out of the door and looked around. After making sure that there was no one around, he softly said to the room: "Princess, she has left. She can come out now."

Wenren Ruoxi donned a jacket and slowly walked towards the door. When he reached the door, he was supported by Madam Zhuge, and then he walked out of the room and stood under the peach blossom tree.

"How long has it been since I last came out to see the sky?"

Wenren Ruoxi placed his hand on top of the peach blossom tree trunk, as he slowly stroked the bark of the tree, and said with a tinge of emotion.

"Princess, your body isn't in a good condition, and you're pregnant with a child. The doctor has instructed you to stay in the room as much as possible." Seeing Wenren Ruoxi's sad look, Madam Zhuge was secretly dissatisfied, but he did not reveal it, and spoke from the side.

"The weather right now is still cold. If we stay outside for a long time, moisture will enter our bodies. If it's not good, we will get the cold."

"Mammy, I know. It's just that I haven't come out for a breath of fresh air for a long time."

Wenren Ruoxi was a little displeased, but he knew that Madam Zhuge was doing it for her own good. Raising his head, he looked at the distant dusk, extended his hand, and caught a peach blossom that was falling from the sky, as he said indifferently.

"Cough, cough."

Suddenly, Wenren Ruoxi started to cough violently, shocking her so he immediately patted her back.

"Since we've seen it that day and smelled the fresh air, why don't we go in?" Madam Zhuge knew about Wenren Ruoxi's body, and seeing her in such a state, he could not help but say this out of worry.

"Yes."

Wenren Ruoxi stopped coughing, he realized that his body was weak, and could only support himself with his hands to prevent himself from falling down.

"Princess, this mama will help you go back."

Seeing this, Madam Zhuge immediately supported Wenren Ruoxi, and the two of them slowly headed into the room.

Originally, Madam Zhuge didn't want Wenren Ruoxi to come out, but he couldn't resist her coaxing, and had no choice but to agree. But because Liu Xinyue and a few others were outside, they did not appear.

After that, seeing that Liu Xinyue and his group had left, Madam Zhuge came out with Wenren Ruoxi. He did not expect that after coming out for just a short while, Wenren Ruoxi would have such a huge reaction.

After returning to his room, Madam Zhuge immediately made Wenren Ruoxi lay down, and touched his forehead, he realised that he was already hot.

"Princess, you're suffering from the cold."

Seeing Wenren Ruoxi's pale white face and his weak breath, Madam Zhuge's eyes could not help but become red.

"This mama will go find a doctor for you right now. Don't be afraid, the cold is just a minor ailment. It'll be over very soon."

Because he had thought in his subconscious mind that he would not be harmed even if he had to cover himself with the hot blanket due to the cold, after Madam Zhuge covered Wenren Ruoxi's body with the blanket, he went to the cabinet and took out a thick blanket for her.

After covering himself with the blanket, Madam Zhuge told Wenren Ruoxi everything and quickly left the room to find a doctor.

After exiting the room, Madam Zhuge headed towards the front yard. Just as she was about to walk to the front yard, she remembered that Liu Xinyue and the others were there.

She subconsciously didn't want these people to see her, so she immediately turned around and prepared to leave through the back door.

However, he was a step too late, and coincidentally bumped into Deaf Uncle, who was coming over from the kitchen.

"Madam Zhuge, it's great that you're here. The young miss is currently in the front courtyard." Deaf Uncle smiled and said to Madam Zhuge, "Are you preparing to meet her?"

Seeing that Madam Zhuge was heading towards the front yard, and that Liu Xinyue was coincidentally in the front yard, Deaf Uncle's first reaction was that Madam Zhuge was planning to go see Liu Xinyue.

Madam Zhuge laughed and was about to explain.

"No, Deaf Uncle, I was planning to …"

"Deaf Uncle, this is …?" Liu Xinyue had actually long seen Madam Zhuge. There were only a few people in the Liu Estate, so judging from their age and attire, it was easy for him to guess the identity of this person.

She was probably Wenren Ruoxi's stepmother.

Originally, when Liu Xinyue saw that she was about to turn around and leave, Liu Xinyue had planned on stopping her, but since Deaf Uncle had stopped her, it would be more convenient for her.

"Young miss, this is Miss Wenren's stepmother, Madam Zhuge. She is the one who can stay in the mansion." Deaf Uncle replied Liu Xinyue with a smile.

"Madam Zhuge, since we're already here, why don't we go and meet the young miss together?"

Deaf Uncle and Madam Zhuge were currently sitting on a small path that happened to be beside the Main Hall in the front courtyard. Anyone who sat in the Main Hall could easily see them.

"Alright."

Right now, it was hard for Madam Zhuge to back down. Since the young miss had already said so, she could not just turn around and leave, right?

They had no choice but to smile and follow Deaf Uncle to the great hall.

"I heard from the Deaf Uncle that Eldest Miss was here, and I wanted to come over to pay my respects a long time ago. It's just that my daughter's body is too weak, as a mother, I really can't leave."

After arriving at the great hall, Madam Zhuge stood in front of Liu Xinyue and spoke with a smile.

"Well, I only have the time to pay my respects to Eldest Miss now."

Then, Madam Zhuge bowed to Liu Xinyue and said with a smile: "This humble woman, Madam Zhuge, greets Eldest Miss."

"Madam Zhuge doesn't need to be so courteous." Liu Xinyue smiled and nodded, and said.

"Since it's time for dinner, why not call your daughter along? We've already met after dinner."

Hearing Liu Xinyue's words, Madam Zhuge's heart thumped. He raised his head to look at the other party, but his heart was thumping a little, as he didn't know what this person meant by those words.

"Many thanks for Eldest Miss's love. It's just that my daughter just happened to be caught in a cold and was resting on her bed. This humble woman is also planning to call a doctor for her."

As he said that, Madam Zhuge said apologetically, "I'm afraid that I won't be able to have a meal with Eldest Miss today, I hope that Eldest Miss will forgive me."
