The Self-cultivation of a Salted Fish Concubine

Chapter 162 Accidents happen one after another

Dan Tao felt even more uncomfortable: "But when I think about the Fifth Young Master refusing to pay attention to me for a day or two, I feel uncomfortable..."

The girls in Chunshanyuan watched Taotao grow up little by little, and they really treated him as their own sweetheart.

Sometimes she cares more about me than Xie Run, my own mother.

Xie Run just found it funny: "You guys just spoil him too much."

Xie Run changed his clothes, washed his hands, and went to play with the child.

Taotao is such a cheerful child.

As soon as he saw Xie Run, he grinned, revealing his newly grown little teeth, which was so sweet that it made him lose his teeth!

The temperature dropped suddenly two days ago, and the kid started coughing when he was exposed to a little wind.

But the girls were very anxious.

But after taking bitter medicine for a few days, he was almost recovered.

Xie Run said that he had to take care of the children, but that was just an excuse to decline the princess's offer.

Xiao Shu told Dan Tao about what happened in Qingsong Courtyard.

Dan Tao was a little excited: "So, the master can now manage the embroidery room?"

Being in charge of government affairs is equivalent to controlling power. It will be easy to make money and establish connections in the future.

"You think this is a good thing?" Xie Run sat on the couch and stroked his son's little face. "If we have the princess above us, everyone will be more obedient and dare not make any moves."

"But now everyone holds some power, and everyone has their own agenda, so it's hard to guarantee that nothing will go wrong."

"It's a turbulent time now. If something happens, it will be impossible to investigate..."

Xie Run said calmly: "We must prepare for the worst!"

Wan Linlang has been protecting Concubine Lian's pregnancy recently, and has taken good care of her until she is five months old.

Everyone knew that she had evil intentions, but it was hard to guess who she wanted to drag into the water.

Fang Yuaner was also too quiet.

Xie Run has now become a concubine and has a healthy son.

She didn't believe that Fang Yuaner would treat her badly because of her inexplicable affection for her.

Dan Tao and Xiao Shu both looked serious and nodded immediately.

Xie Run thought about it again and again, and said to Zihu, "Zihu, I want to arrange for you to serve the Fifth Young Master exclusively these days. What do you think?"

Zihu was slightly stunned. She didn't expect such a good thing to happen to her.

She has always been an invisible person in Chunshanyuan. Although she receives the allowance of a first-class maid, she is still a second-class maid.

There isn't much to do on weekdays, just follow Xie Run like a shadow.

Now that the palace is peaceful, her role is no longer highlighted, and her presence seems even less noticeable.

Everyone knows that the Fifth Young Master is Concubine Xie's destiny.

Let her serve the Fifth Young Master?

Zihu's face was firm as she bowed and said, "Thank you, Master, for your kindness. I will not dare to slack off!"

Xie Run held her hand and helped her stand up. "I hand Taotao over to you. From now on, all of its food, clothing, and other expenses will have to go through your hands first!"

"Now I only believe in you!"

"The lives of us, mother and son, are completely entrusted to your hands!"

Zihu hadn't expected Concubine Xie to be so serious. She didn't dare to relax at all. "If I betray my master's trust, I will be struck by lightning and die a miserable death!"

Xie Run smiled and said, "I believe you!"

Sometimes, Xie Run’s premonitions come quickly but are extremely accurate.

The accident happened on the fifth day after she handed Taotao over to Zihu.

That day, Xie Run had finally finalized the purchases for the winter embroidery room, and just as he closed his eyes, he heard Taotao crying.

At first she didn't take it seriously, thinking that the child had woken up in the middle of the night, and quickly got out of bed to comfort him.

But after coaxing him for half a day, Taotao's crying did not stop, instead he tossed and turned.

Xie Run felt something was wrong.

Dan Tao was only wearing a coat, holding a candle in her hand: "What's wrong with the Fifth Young Master? Why are you crying so hard?"

Xie Run frowned and said, "No urine, and it doesn't seem like he's hungry..."

"Is it because of a shock?"

"Maybe?" Xie Run was not sure and asked Zihu to come and take a look.

Zihu touched Taotao's belly, and the little guy suddenly cried louder.

Zihu said: "Maybe it's due to indigestion."

Xie Run was puzzled: "She used to eat more and didn't make a fuss. Why is she crying so hard today?"

Taotao is a healthy child. He can eat and sleep since birth and has a big appetite.

Xie Run is very restrained in his diet and never lets him eat too much.

This is the first time I have encountered indigestion in my life.

Zihu said calmly, "I think I didn't play much today, so I had some food accumulation."

As he said that, he took out a digestive pill that he had prepared long ago and put it on Taotao's belly button.

Zihu used her techniques to massage Taotao again.

After tossing and turning for most of the night, Taotao finally fell asleep sobbing.

Seeing Xie Run lowering his eyes in thought, Zihu immediately said, "Fifth Young Master's food is prepared by the small kitchen, and I dare not feed him until I have personally inspected it."

"The menu hasn't changed in the past few days."

Taotao is more than five months old.

In addition to milk, Xie Run has started feeding him some complementary foods to ensure he gets enough nutrition.

This was first done by Fang Yuaner from Songya Academy.

It's not unusual for her to learn to do it.

Xie Run nodded, "I hope I'm not being overly suspicious."

After tossing and turning all night, Xie Run was a little tired.

Before daybreak, several people went back to sleep.

I thought it was an accident.

Unexpectedly, on the second and third day, Taotao woke up in the middle of the night, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep. Upon checking, it was found that he had indigestion.

The emperor's illness was not particularly serious, but it lingered and showed no signs of improvement.

King Jing and the princess would go to the palace to attend to the sick every two or three days, and would only return in the middle of the night, exhausted.

Xie Run didn't want to alarm them, so he sent a letter to invite the imperial physician first.

I took the prescribed medicine and had acupuncture, but it didn't work.

At this moment, Concubine Lu came to the door and asked: "Has the Fifth Young Master's night noises improved recently?"

After several days of hard work, Xie Run looked a little tired.

Hearing Concubine Lu's words, she shook her head and said, "It's getting worse. I haven't even gone to the toilet today."

Xie Run was also anxious, but he was helpless.

Concubine Lu dismissed the servants and whispered, "I'm afraid there's something fishy going on here!"

Xie Run raised his eyes to look at her.

Concubine Lu: "Third Young Master, something happened recently!"

Xie Run couldn't help but sit up straight. "What's going on? I've been busy taking care of Tao Tao lately and haven't paid attention to the affairs of Song Yayuan."

Concubine Lu shook her head and said, "I only found out about this by chance when I overheard the nurses in Songya Courtyard talking."

"I'm afraid Concubine Fang herself doesn't know yet."

Xie Run was slightly surprised: "She doesn't know?!"
