Sick Man Turns Out to be a General

The next morning, after Mu Ke was ready, he went to pick up Shen Jingli from the County Prince's Mansion s and went to the Western Mu Mansion with him.    

    

As they sat in the carriage, Mu Ke talked about the situation of Yang Ningyi during her production.    

    

"I heard that she suddenly heard the news about the war in the northwest and became overly excited. She was born ten days earlier than planned." Mu Ke picked up a piece of date cake and placed it in his mouth, "The situation is more critical, I heard that you suffered massive postpartum hemorrhage, and your body was severely injured, requiring you to recuperate for a long time."    

    

Seeing that he had eaten so much, she hurriedly poured a cup of water for him. Mu Ke then drank the water and continued: "I suspect that there are people in their residence who do not care, if not, why would anyone be stupid enough to bring up the battle situation in the Northwest in front of the Mother who is about to produce. It's not a good battle at all."    

    

Mu Ke was, after all, a child raised in the backyard of the mansion.    

    

When Yu heard his unrestrained words, she reached out to tug his arm and whispered: "Don't speak nonsense, what if you wrongly accuse others?"    

    

"That's the truth. When have I ever wronged anyone?" Mu Ke did not mind in the slightest, "If not for someone deliberately trying to harm him, why would he bring up the war in the Northwest just now? I've seen this kind of method quite a few times, but it's just a stupid trick by a woman in the backyard. "    

    

Hearing his words, Yu became anxious and confused. Sometimes she reached out to pull him, and sometimes she turned to look at Shen Jingli, but when she saw that he was not displeased, she heaved a sigh of relief. She was afraid that Mu Ke's words would cause her Western Mu Mansion to become disordered.    

    

Shen Jingli drank the honey fruit tea and savored Mu Ke's words. After a while, he said: "Honey fruit tea, do you want a drink?"    

    

He picked up the thermal water bag beside him and waved it, "The newly developed flavor is not bad."    

    

"Yes." Mu Ke quickly passed the blanket over, then turned around and got a cup for Timely Jade.    

    

The honey and fruit tea were sour, sweet and tasty, very compatible with Gemini's taste. Especially this invisible foodie Mu Ke, he ate another piece of jujube cake with the fruit tea.    

    

"Sister-in-law, since my second brother isn't home, aren't you always messing with these delicious foods?" After Mu Ke finished eating a piece of date cake, he licked his lips and picked up a piece of pineapple pie.    

    

Shen Jingli saw that he was happily eating, and said: "Wait until we reach Western Mu Mansion, you can't speak carelessly. As for Western Mu Mansion, Aunt will naturally take care of it, we are an outsider, don't meddle too much in it."    

    

Mu Ke, who was bribed by the dessert and honey tea, was only interested in eating and did not hear Shen Jingli's words clearly. However, at this time, he turned his head to look at Shen Jingli.    

    

When they reached the County Prince's Mansion, Mu Sihua came to welcome them. When the little girl saw them, she pouted her lips and complained to them pitifully.    

    

"Because of what happened with sister-in-law, mother got so angry. I got scolded too and was locked in the yard. I'm not allowed to go out." Mu Sihua took out a handkerchief and pretended to wipe away her unshed tears.    

    

"How is your sister-in-law?" Shen Jingli gently pushed her body away.    

    

"When they were giving birth, they were in a dangerous situation. It took them almost eight hours to give birth, and the imperial physician said that sister-in-law's health was very poor, and that she probably wouldn't be able to bear a child for several years. She was so angry that she dragged those chattering people out and beat them up dozens of times, then ordered them to throw them out." Mu Sihua said honestly.    

    

"Yes." Shen Jingli replied softly, no emotions fluctuating on his cold face.    

    

Mu Ke brought Shiyu and followed behind him. It seemed that this was the first time Shiyu had come here, so she was extremely cautious as she followed beside Mu Ke, not daring to make any moves.    

    

Mu Sihua turned around and saw them. She stared at them curiously, then looked at Mu Ke's pleased expression, she remembered the rumors she heard recently, heard her girls saying that Mu Ke had fallen for a couple and wanted to marry him. It looked like it was this pair, but this person looked very familiar.    

    

"Did we meet somewhere?" Mu Sihua turned her head to look at her, and carefully looked left and right, "You look so familiar."    

    

"Of course he looks familiar. He's the younger brother of a time marshal."    

    

"Beijing's number one talented girl, Shiqing?" Isn't this person the grandson of the Great Situ Dynasty's Lord, and also the concubine's son? Big brother Mu Ke was really bold, he wasn't afraid of the Madam using her blade to cut him down.    

    

Yang Ningyi was currently lying on the bed resting, and upon hearing that they had come to see him, her mood became much better. She actually struggled to get up and welcome them.    

    

The servants were afraid that they would be scolded by the Madam Qin and they quickly advised him otherwise. Since the Young Mistress had become like this, the most angry person in the entire palace was the Madam, and because of this, all the servants and servants had been beaten up, especially the ones who served the Young Mistress. Many of them had been sold out, and the reason was that they did not take good care of their Mistress, and did not want to end up like her.    

    

"You're not feeling well, so don't force yourself to get up." Shen Jingli stepped forward to support him, making him sit back down on the bed. He raised his head to look at the uneasy servants, "Don't make things difficult for them, it's not easy for them either."    

    

When the servants heard Shen Jingli's words, they all revealed grateful expressions. To actually ask for mercy on their behalf, Nanping County Prince was truly a good person.    

    

"Mu Ke, bring me the mountain medicine cake." Shen Jingli turned to Mu Ke and said, "Shiyu, can you please brew a cup of Honey Red Jujube Tea for Ningyi?"    

    

"Alright." When Yu laughed happily, as if he had something to do for him, it was something to be happy about.    

    

"Oh yeah, Mu Jing sent a letter home from the northwest, along with a bag of dried wild flowers." Shen Jingli took out the things that he brought over, "When I sent the fourteen letters to my family, I also sent them over. I thought you looked forward to them for a long time, so I brought them over for you."    

    

Yang Ningyi took the letter and forcefully suppressed her wild joy. She reached out and caressed the letter again and again.    

    

"He said that he would not return from the battle and that he was afraid that his love would delay the war." He had been looking forward to it for a very long time, and worried about it every day. That was why he had been so excited when he heard that the Northwest had lost the war and had lost many people.    

    

"I admire him for holding on for so long." A few months was not a few days, it was impressive that Mu Jing could endure it for so long.    

    

Yang Ningyi laughed, and she had to endure for a long time.    

    

"You have to believe them. It will be fine." Really? Even he himself couldn't completely believe these words. Shen Jingli maintained a smile on his face, but inwardly, he was feeling uneasy.    

    

"Sister-in-law is really …" "Love to show off." Yang Ningyi picked up the mountain medicine cake and started to eat. In the past few days, he was not in a good mood, and did not eat much, but sometimes she would vomit right after finishing eating.    

    

Shen Jingli did not refute him because he had nothing to refute with.    

    

"Where's the child?"    

    

Yang Ningyi was stunned for a moment, then said: "Mother is taking care of me, Mother said that my health is not good, and told me not to work too hard."    

    

Shen Jingli opened his eyes wide, his brows tightly knitted, revealing his displeasure. Madam Qin's way of life, he actually did not allow Yang Ningyi to personally take care of the child that she risked her life for.    

    

Before, he had always felt that Madam Qin was a good mother and a good wife, but now, he was somewhat suspicious.    

    

"What do you mean overwork? Taking care of your own child, how can that be called hard work? " Mu Ke immediately stood up and turned to face Mu Sihua, "What does your mother mean? Even if sister-in-law doesn't have the strength to take care of the child, she should at least let the child stay in the house and often accompany her sister-in-law. "    

    

"My mother …" Mu Sihua laughed awkwardly, but her heart was roaring. How did she know what her mother was thinking? When Sister-in-law first married, her mother treated Sister-in-law as if she were her real son, especially after knowing that Sister-in-law was pregnant. However, after Big Brother went to the military camp, and her mother heard the rumors, she …    

    

"I'll go get the baby." Mu Ke did not have the heart to know Madam Qin's thoughts. He rushed out like the wind and brought the child and the wet nurse over.    

    

Yang Ningyi took the child and carefully hugged it. The child had grown a lot longer, and wasn't as wrinkled as when he was just born.    

    

The little guy seemed to have just eaten its fill and was sleeping soundly. Even if Yang Ningyi's hugging posture wasn't too comfortable, he still hadn't woken up.    

    

"He slept so well." Shen Jingli reached out and touched the little guy's face, "If Xun Er comes along with me, he'll definitely be very happy."    

    

Yang Ningyi laughed, then extended her hand to stroke the letter lying on the bedside. No matter what, her days would always be better.    

    

After they talked for a while, Shen Jingli got Jin Yu to go to the small kitchen and cook Silver Ear Porridge for him. After Yang Ningyi finished eating and rested, he went to the courtyard of Third Old Lady and chatted with the old lady for a while.    

    

"Oh, Moon Lake has sent a letter back. What did the letter say?" The Third Old Lady sat on the teacher's chair, laughing very happily, the corners of her eyes were full of wrinkles.    

    

"Said he was fine in the northwest, don't worry." Shen Jingli put down her teacup, "Do you like the honey tea that I brought here today, Third Young Madam?"    

    

"This tea is not bad, just a kid like you knows how to make a fool out of things." Third Old Lady took a sip of the jujube honey tea, "You want to tell me about Ningyi right?"    

    

Shen Jingli shook his head, "Ningyi knows how to handle things, there's no need for me to meddle in other people's business."    

    

If he overdid it, the Madam Qin might become even more angry.    

    

Third Old Lady sighed, "Don't blame your aunt. She suffered too, which was why she became unsettled."    

    

It turned out that there were a few ladies who were on good terms with Madam Qin, and had said a lot of bad things about Yang Ningyi in front of him, and even looked down on him for letting their son marry a couple, which caused him to lose face in the circle of noblewomen, which was why Madam Qin picked on Yang Ningyi.    

    

There were actually people spouting nonsense behind this. Was he jealous?    

    

Shen Jingli frowned, he then chatted with Third Old Lady for a while before taking Mu Ke and the others and leaving.    

    

"..."    

    

In the beginning of August, during the Golden Beach War, the Northwest Army was ambushed by the enemy and suffered heavy injuries. Mu Jing and the cold winds were both heavily injured. At the end of August, the Emperor ordered General Song of the Qianzhou Barracks to send troops to the northwest.
