But quickly, the hidden scholar adjusted his mentality, wiped his hands carefully with a handkerchief, took a snack and put it to her lips.
He said calmly and gently: "Little lady, try this snack? I made it myself."
Anyway, he is a hidden scholar. Doesn't his identity mean that he has been secretly in love with her for a long time? As long as she likes him.
Ming Lanruo looked at the snack in his hand and raised her eyebrows suspiciously: "Did you make it? Isn't this the specialty snack of the new Suhang chef in the palace?"
Crispy and delicate, it looks exquisite and delicious at first glance. She even ate the Queen Mother's portion a few days ago, and he obviously only knows how to make golden green radish cake!
Moreover, the little eunuchs in the East Factory vomited after eating so much that he made a decent portion and sang it in front of her.
The hidden scholar was silent for a while and smiled: "That's almost it. If you see through it without telling it, you can still live in peace for years to come."
He is not straightforward but also strong, and his slender phoenix eyes are cold and undisguised as a threat.
Ming Lanruo: "..."
Yes, I became angry from embarrassment.
Ming Lanruo narrowed her beautiful eyes, obediently ate the snack he brought to her mouth, and clapped her hands perfunctorily——
"Oh my god, it's so amazing. It's so delicious. It's such a unique skill in the world. If you don't brag about it... no, if you don't become a chef, it's a real loss on earth!"
Hidden scholar: "..."
Could it be any more perfunctory and exaggerated?
After Ming Lanruo finished speaking, she patted her butt and turned to leave.
She had no time to coax him, she was anxious to see her grandmother.
Xiao Qizi, who was dressed as a servant and followed Yin Shusheng, thought silently that he couldn't laugh, because if he did, his head would really fall off.
Scholar Yin endured it, but suddenly stood up and called Ming Lanruo who had already left the door: "Little lady, please don't cry when you see Aunt Agu later."
Ming Lanruo was stunned and turned to look at the man in the room.
Scholar Yin looked at her with gentle eyes: "Chu Yuanbai hijacked and hurt Agu. Your uncle has already vented his anger on you and cut off the veins in his arm, hasn't he?"
He paused: "So, don't be too sad."
Ming Lanruo looked at him, suddenly her heart palpitated, and she understood.
He was worried that she would feel uncomfortable seeing Agu's injury...
In fact, Chu Yuanbai not only had his arm meridians severed, but his ribs broken by Cang Qiao also punctured his lungs. He struggled on the edge of death for three days.
Today I heard that the boy's face was pale and weak, and his breathing was disordered. In fact, his injuries were not healed, and he could only get out of bed soon.
She also pursed her lips and smiled softly at him: "Thank you for me, uncle. I like your uncle the most."
This man's sudden attentiveness and gentleness are always... fascinating.
Upon hearing this, the hidden scholar lowered his eyes and coughed slightly, then turned away slightly uncomfortably: "Okay, I understand."
Ming Lanruo smiled before leaving.
The hidden scholar walked around the room for a while, but couldn't help but go out.
At this time, Ming Lanruo had already entered Grandma Agu's private room.
As soon as she entered the door, she was sensitive to the smell of blood.
Although I had known for a long time that Grandma Agu might be tortured to extract a confession.
But when she saw the extremely thin old grandmother with gray hair and a bruise on her face sitting on the chair, she couldn't help but tremble.
Seeing Ming Lanruo come in, the old man touched his hair awkwardly, trying to cover up the injuries on his face, and stood up tremblingly: "Miss... I made you worried. It's my fault, isn't it?"
Ming Lanruo's eyes turned red instantly. He took a few steps over and knelt down, hugging her knees: "Grandma, I've made you suffer... It's all because of Ruoruo's unfilial piety! I'm sorry! I'm sorry!"
Aunt Agu was stunned and her lips trembled: "You...you know?"
Minglan Ruo burst into tears: "I know everything, Aunt Wusang told me, you are my dear grandmother!"
Aunt Agu couldn't help but shed tears, and her old and withered hands trembled and gently touched her face: "Ruoruo... Grandma is sorry for you and your mother... Grandma is very satisfied that she can live to see you grow up. Already."
She never thought that she would hear this child call her grandma again in this life. Even when her daughter died, she refrained from telling this secret.
"No." Ming Lanruo shook her head and hugged Grandma Agu until she burst into tears.
It feels like a lifetime ago. In her previous life, she harmed her father, her grandmother, and even... Cang Qiao, she can finally save them all in this life!
How could she not be filled with emotion and feel lucky that there are few people in this world who can take the medicine of regret!
"Don't cry, good boy. Grandma is here, and no one can bully my daughter." Agu Agu held the girl in her arms distressedly, crying and laughing at the same time.
Scholar Yin stood outside the door, looking at the mother-in-law and grandson hugging and crying behind the door curtain.
The girl cried so much that he felt distressed, hadn't he already comforted her?
"Have the carriage and the doctor arrived?" He turned around and walked to the corridor and asked Xiao Qizi.
Xiao Qizi nodded: "The carriage we used last time to go to Northeast Xinjiang can allow the elderly to lie down. The best trauma doctor in Dongchang and the doctor from Tai Hospital are already waiting in the carriage. They are all our people. The mouth is tight."
Scholar Yin pondered and ordered: "Let Chunhe go in and persuade them. Don't make their eyes hurt from crying. It's important to send the old man to see his injuries first."
Xiao Qizi accepted the order and went. Chunhe thought that this was also the case, so he lifted the curtain and went in to persuade.
Ming Lanruo listened and got up while wiping her tears, and accompanied Grandma Agu to leave through the secret passage.
Although she had made all preparations, Chu Yuanbai was actually a smart person.
The young man just underestimated the enemy and thought that the Xiao family was gone and Agu was just a lost dog. He misjudged the situation and suffered a big loss at his own hands.
She still needs to be more cautious.
After getting on the carriage, she saw the doctor and the imperial physician from Dongchang again. She knew it was his arrangement, and she couldn't help but feel warm in her heart.
Seeing Agu's somewhat vigilant look, Ming Lanruo said gently: "Grandma, don't worry, these are our own people, let them show you."
Aunt Agu then lay down with peace of mind and accepted the diagnosis.
She was old and had suffered a lot of torture. She couldn't help but fainted as soon as she relaxed, which made Ming Lanruo feel uneasy.
The doctors were quietly and busy treating the old man. When they arrived at Ming Fei's Mansion, Chen Ning and others used a stretcher to send the old man back to his room to continue receiving treatment.
"The old man's condition has stabilized. The main injuries were skin injuries, caused by torture. Although some of them look ferocious, the people who tortured him seem to have scruples and dare not do harsh things. But there are still some strange injuries that we can't see."
In the afternoon, the two doctors wiped their sweat and said with some shame.
Ming Lanruo nodded: "It doesn't matter, I already know what's going on. Thank you both for your hard work."
In fact, she felt Grandma Agu's pulse in the car and knew that there were several kinds of worms in Grandma Agu's body.
Eighty percent of it was done by Chu Yuanbai to force a confession!
After Chunming left with the two doctors to receive the reward, Ming Lanruo consulted with Grandma Gei Agu again and each decided on a plan to cure the poison.
It was already night in a blink of an eye.
…
In the west courtyard, Xiao Xi was drinking milk and looking at Scholar Yin: "When can I go see my great-grandmother?"
Scholar Yin touched his chubby face and said, "Your mother is going to treat your great-grandmother for the next two days, so you should rest here first."
"Then there's Mr. Lao." Xiao Xi bowed to him obediently and showed a cute smile.
The hidden scholar looked at the little man's polite and obedient appearance, but felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.
He once felt that this little guy was being kept as a wild child by Ming Lanruo and had no rules.
That's why Xiao Xi stopped being polite every time she saw him, and it was okay to be rude. She would bite his head, legs and hands whenever she disagreed, which was rude and rude.
But later I discovered that everyone liked Xiao Xi, whether it was the Queen Mother or the old man selling candied haws on the street, saying that he was well-behaved, sensible, and polite.
He was also polite and lively to the "sir" Yin Shusheng.
Therefore, all the "rudeness" and "arrogance" of this child are directed at Cang Qiao.
This realization inevitably made him feel helpless——
The little guy who is too smart to be a child holds more grudges than his mother. Xiao Xi still refuses to recognize him as her father.
He admired the child's strong character to protect his shortcomings, which was similar to him, so he decided to take advantage of it slowly.
A few days ago, he used his identity as Cang Qiao to comfort Xiao Xi not to think that he was a little monster because of his unusual intelligence, so the child reluctantly gave him a good look.
Now use your identity as a hidden scholar to continue gaining some favor.
"Here, sir, I will take you to take a bath." Scholar Yin smiled warmly, reached out to hold Xiao Xi's little hand, and led him to the bathroom.
Xiao Xi was silent for a moment: "My mother said that no one can touch my body casually."
The hidden scholar knelt down and said warmly: "But I am not someone else, I am your husband."
Xiao Xi raised her eyes to look at him, narrowed her eyes, and said politely: "But my mother said that you are a pervert, sir. Now I know what a pervert is, and I will not be polite to a pervert."
Hidden scholar: "..."
Nice and polite, but not much.
How can Cangqiao be so virtuous and capable when he has a wife and children?
