Chapter 791: The Hunter Lady is the Savior of the Powerful Official 52
In front of outsiders, he is still as handsome and handsome as ever, living up to the Xiao family's reputation. But when he returns to Miaomiao, he will unconsciously hold her hand, with fragility in his eyes.
Miaomiao felt that perhaps Xiao Yunzhou would be more suitable for slow recuperation.
They went directly to the farm where they had lived for a while on the outskirts of the city. There were gurgling streams around it, and they could see vast rice fields when they opened the window.
On the second day after moving back, without those annoying posts, the dark circles under Xiao Yunzhou's eyes seemed to have faded a little.
When the Third Prince heard that Xiao Yunzhou couldn't sleep day and night, he sent the doctor over again, saying that he would be the court physician of the Xiao Mansion.
Doctor Zhang sighed lightly after taking Miaomiao's pulse, and then whispered some instructions after he followed Miaomiao out.
"This Young Master Xiao has a knot in his heart that is hard to untie. Although the Xiao family's injustice has been redressed, the events of the past still had a significant impact on him.
If you truly care about Mr. Xiao, please, in addition to letting him take his medicine normally, please also prevent him from getting stimulated again. If you can stay with him as much as possible, he may get better."
Miaomiao's heart tightened when she heard this. Does that mean that things might not get better?
But Miaomiao didn't say anything more, because Xiao Yunzhou had already walked to the door and was standing there looking at him. Although he looked like a handsome young man, his expression was like a puppy who was afraid of being abandoned.
Doctor Zhang was struck by Xiao Yunzhou's expression, and felt his scalp tingle. He shuddered with fear and quickly lowered his head.
This Lord Xiao will be his breadwinner in the future. The Third Prince has already said that even if Lord Xiao is not sick, in front of the future mistress, he must say that Lord Xiao is seriously ill and needs someone to accompany him.
To be honest, Doctor Zhang felt that Lord Xiao might be ill, but he couldn't cure him. Love-sickness coupled with paranoia were both incurable diseases.
Since that day, Miaomiao sincerely discovered that Xiao Yunzhou's illness seemed to have worsened by three points.
Maybe there's a bit of spoiled bragging in there...
So, Miaomiao was reading a storybook in the corridor, and Xiao Yunzhou moved a bench and sat beside her to read a secret letter, not treating her as an outsider at all.
In order not to lose the confidential information, Miaomiao had no choice but to run to the soft couch in Xiao Yunzhou's study to continue reading. This time, at least Xiao Yunzhou had the dignity to not say that he wanted to lie down with her to read...
After returning from the Xiao family's business, there were many family businesses that needed to be taken care of. Miaomiao originally thought that it had nothing to do with her.
But later, some people went directly to the government and registered all the profitable industries of the Xiao family under her name. However, the third prince helped to cover up these things, so not many people knew about it.
By the time Miaomiao found out, she had already become one of the richest women in the capital.
Of course, there are guards and servants in their manor now, not just the two of them as before.
But no matter whether it is a man or a woman, as long as they get close to Miaomiao, Xiao Yunzhou will unconsciously show his vigilance. Miaomiao deeply understands that when the Xiao family was in trouble, it was the Gao family that used the loyal servants of the Xiao family as a raft.
However, as time went on, Miaomiao discovered that Xiao Yunzhou's illness was getting worse. Occasionally, when she woke up in the middle of the night, she would even see Xiao Yunzhou sleeping on the floor with a quilt in his arms outside her doorway!
She just had a nightmare and was afraid someone would hurt her...
In this situation, Miaomiao called Doctor Zhang several times, and even went to the Third Prince's mansion and asked the Third Prince to invite the imperial physician to treat her.
But the results are all the same, which is that people need to comfort the patient patiently, and taking medicine is just auxiliary.
Miaomiao's 18th birthday is coming soon, and Xiao Yunzhou started preparing for it a month in advance.
He had the Xiao Mansion renovated, all the weeds in the courtyard were removed, orchids and jasmine were planted, and even the carved wooden pillars under the corridor were finely polished, giving off a warm luster.
As for Miaomiao's coming-of-age ceremony dress, Xiao Yunzhou had it made of brocade by the most famous embroidery workshop in the capital. He even drew a pattern for Miaomiao, and carefully checked every detail.
Gradually, each family in the capital also received some news. It seemed that the young master of the Xiao family had a new wife, or a fiancée. Although they could not find out who she was, they heard that she even designed the clothes for the girl's coming-of-age ceremony and took personal charge of it. It was obvious that their relationship was not ordinary.
Miaomiao's coming-of-age ceremony was held in the main hall of the Xiao Mansion.
Xiao Yunzhou invited the wife of the Minister of Rites, a model of blessed people in the capital, as his sponsor, and also invited the Third Prince to attend. The mansion was slightly decorated, with strings of locust flowers hung under the eaves, filling the yard with fragrance.
At noon, the praiser sang a greeting, and Xiao Yunzhou came forward with a tray containing a white jade hairpin engraved with the word "An" and a pearl hairpin.
He tied Miaomiao's hair gently, feeling proud but also a little disappointed. He still had another six months to go before he turned eighteen...
I just hope that Miaomiao can wait for him a little longer...
After the ceremony, he served the longevity noodles he made himself. The banquet was simple yet exquisite, and full of thought.
Miaomiao was in a good mood and took a few sips of the delicious green plum wine without anyone's persuasion. She was considered to have made some progress.
Thinking of this, Miaomiao took two more sips. Soon, her cheeks became flushed and her eyes began to become hazy.
When the Third Prince saw this situation, as soon as the banquet ended, he escorted the Minister's wife out of the mansion without Xiao Yunzhou making any arrangements.
On the way back, the Shangshu's wife looked at the Third Prince who was rarely respectful and asked curiously.
"This Miss Ling is the girl that the Xiao family kid has in his heart, right?
It looks like a blessing.”
The Third Prince sighed. The Minister of Rites was also on the Third Prince's side, so the Third Prince didn't have too many reservations when speaking.
"Yes, she is a very good girl. The last time I met her in Mingcheng, she was assassinated and almost lost her life. It was she who saved Yunzhou and me on the way back to the city.
After going through some things, Yun Zhou decided to marry Miss Ling. Unfortunately, Miss Ling has not yet come to his senses. Yun Zhou still needs to work harder to win her heart.
But I believe that Yunzhou will definitely be able to do what I can't do. After all, your relationship with Shangshu is sincere, and Yunzhou's parents' relationship is also very sincere. You are both representatives of a couple who will be together for a lifetime. Yunzhou takes you as role models.
However, both Yun Zhou and I tend to protect our children. Miss Ling is my savior, and her future will definitely be good.
Yun Zhou is knowledgeable and resourceful, and with the Xiao family and me behind him, he has a promising future. The only difference is that he is protective and possessive of Miss Ling..."
The Third Prince defined Miaomiao's identity as his and Xiao Yunzhou's savior in a few words. Although this was not bad, he told everyone in the capital through the Shangshu's wife that Ling Miaomiao was not an ordinary person and that she had someone's support.
