Chapter 197 Jing Zhuo Caught a Cold

Wei Songhan was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly pulled the quilt over and gently covered her body.

At this time, the maid Qiuyun was rushing over from the boiling water, with an anxious look on her face: "Master Wei, I am really sorry to trouble you."

She inadvertently caught a glimpse of the gauze curtain being gently blown open by the breeze, and suddenly an ominous premonition arose in her heart.

"Your... young lady seems to have caught a cold. You'd better call a doctor as soon as possible." Wei Songhan said softly.

Qiu Yun was startled and said hurriedly, "What? I'll go find it right away."

In fact, there was more than one maid here, but the other one just went to the toilet and hasn't come back yet, so Qiuyun was in a hurry.

It just so happened that Wei Songhan was not asleep. When he heard the crying, he came over to help coax the child.

Qiuyun knew Wei Songhan and knew that he was Jing Zhuo's friend, so she was not on guard for a while.

"Wait a minute, you stay here and take care of her. Don't let her be separated from others. I will go find a doctor."

"Thank you, Master Wei."

Wei Songhan's heart was like being tormented by fire at this moment, more anxious than anyone else, especially when he knew Jing Zhuo's true identity.

Everything that happened that night was confirmed.

It was she who saved me and brought me back to the house.

It was Jing Zhuo who had sex with him that night.

Then these two children are probably also his...

Without giving it any time to think, Wei Songhan turned over and jumped onto the horse's back. With the sound of horse hooves, they swept through the streets like a gust of wind and headed straight for the clinic.

The doctor was sleeping soundly when Wei Songhan handed him a silver ingot. He said that there was an emergency at home and begged the doctor to be merciful and take the trouble to come and see the patient.

As the silver light flickered, the doctor's sleepy eyes gradually cleared up. Looking at the silver light full of sincerity, he sighed softly, then put on his clothes and picked up the medicine box.

When Wei Songhan brought him there, Jing Xiangxue also arrived after hearing the news.

She had been very tired in recent days and went to bed early, but she didn't expect Jing Zhuo to fall ill.

After the doctor went in, Wei Songhan stood outside the door and didn't dare to leave. He was afraid of missing the news and was also worried about Jing Zhuo's physical condition.

After checking the patient's pulse, the doctor said slowly, "This is due to an external cold. In addition, you have been overworked recently, which has caused your body to become weak. You urgently need to rest and recuperate before you can recover."

Jing Xiangxue heard this, and a trace of self-blame flashed in her eyes: "It's all because I was eager to go home. As soon as I returned home, I threw myself into the trivial matters of the business. I was unable to share any of the responsibilities. It was really my fault."

The doctor heard this and shook his head slightly. He picked up the brush and wrote on the rice paper, saying, "Don't blame yourself too much. I will prescribe a few doses of medicine and order her to boil and take. In the next few days, she must rest and rest, and must not work hard anymore."

After hearing the news, Wei Songhan left Jing Mansion without saying a word.

When he came back again, it was already noon of the next day, and he had brought back two wet nurses.

"Lord Wei, where did you find these people from?" Jing Xiangxue didn't expect his efficiency to be so fast.

"Madam Jing, the child will be raised by these two wet nurses from now on. "I have carefully selected them. They have clean family backgrounds, gentle temperaments and great patience. They are all kind people in Linzhou."

Wei Songhan rushed to the house of his former wet nurse overnight and asked her to help select someone. After finding the person, he immediately brought the person back here.

"Is Jingzhuo feeling better now?"

"I took the medicine, but I'm still not awake."

"If you have anything to ask, just tell me to do it. You don't have to be polite."

"Master Wei, thank you so much. We have just returned not long ago, and everything in this mansion is not yet fully prepared. Thank you for your concern for Jing Zhuo."

"You are Welcome."

Wei Songhan was very worried and wanted to stay by Jing Zhuo's side to watch over her.

But when he found out that she was a woman, how could he, a man from outside, stay with her? Even though they had already had a child, he still had no status.

Moreover, after today, he will have to set off back to the capital to report on his work in two days.

After this separation, I don’t know when we will meet again.

The two wet nurses were very skilled in taking care of the children. They saw that the environment in the Jing Mansion was good, and the wages paid by Lord Wei just now were not small, so they were naturally willing to help here with all their heart.

Jing Zhuo was lingering on the edge of a hazy consciousness, as if in a dream. An indescribable bitterness spread from between her lips and teeth. It was the unique taste of medicine. She opened her eyes slightly, trying to focus her scattered vision.

"What's wrong with me? Huan'er, is Yu'er okay?" As she spoke, she struggled to support her weak body, and every inch of her muscle seemed to be telling of fatigue and pain.

"The children are fine. Lord Wei has already found a wet nurse for you. You should take a good rest. Don't worry about anything. Mother will help you."

Jing Zhuo breathed a sigh of relief, his whole body aching.

This time, the cold wind seems to be more severe than any previous time.

"Now that you're awake, drink this porridge."

Jing Zhuo swallowed a few mouthfuls with difficulty, and then he no longer had any appetite.

"Lord Wei is still waiting outside the door. Would you like to meet him?"

Mentioning Wei Songhan, Jing Zhuo's thoughts suddenly drifted back to the slightly confusing memory of last night, and his heart couldn't help but shudder.

If Wei Songhan found out that I was a woman dressed as a man, would he have all kinds of thoughts?

"Let him in. I'll thank him in person."

Jing Xiangxue understood what he meant, there must be some unspoken secret between the two of them, so she smiled gently and said softly: "Then I will let the maids leave first, so that you two can have some peace and quiet to talk in detail."

After saying this, she waved her sleeves lightly, signaling the maids standing by to quietly leave, leaving the room in silence.

Jing Zhuo slowly put on a brocade robe, and his frail figure looked even more haggard under the candlelight.

Wei Songhan's heart was moved as he took one look at him. He said softly, "Please sit still and don't force yourself to get up. Do you feel a little better now?"

Jing Zhuo forced a smile and replied, "I am much better now, but I am still a little depressed."

Wei Songhan sighed softly: "You have to take care of the trivial matters of the business, take care of your young son, and always be on guard against me. This hard work is really too much."

She couldn't understand the meaning of what the other person said. Did he really discover something?

"Yesterday... Thank you, Lord Wei. I just wonder if you found anything..."

Jing Zhuo secretly considered his words, but felt that every word was of great weight and difficult to speak.

"Nothing." Wei Songhan's voice sounded at the right time, interrupting her hesitation.

"Ah?" She was obviously still in a daze.

"The maid said you were not feeling well, so I went to find a doctor, that's all."

Jing Zhuo felt a little relieved after hearing this explanation.

Wei Songhan's eyes inadvertently swept across the bowl of porridge on the table, which he had only taken a few bites of. "You, is that all you want to eat?"

"I can't eat. My stomach feels uncomfortable."

"If you eat less, you will feel worse. I will cook some porridge."

"Oh, it's actually Lord Wei who cooks the porridge himself? This is really a rare thing."

Jing Zhuo found it very strange and wanted to refuse, but he also wanted to see him cook porridge.

"There's nothing strange about it."

The maids brought the stove and the casserole, and Wei Songhan started to cook porridge in front of her.

"If you have a cold, you should eat some meat so that your body can survive."

Wei Songhan first stewed the spareribs and added rice grains and scallops.

Soon, Jing Zhuo's nose trembled slightly, and she caught a wisp of leisurely drifting fragrance. The familiar and warm smell seemed to bring her back to the past in an instant, and it coincided with the aroma of the porridge carefully cooked by Nanny Liu.

Hey, you are also proficient in the cooking methods of Yazhou?" She looked at Wei Songhan curiously, with surprise in her eyes.

Wei Songhan naturally wouldn't tell her that the last time he saw her smile because of the porridge and she drank a few more bowls, he silently memorized the recipe in his heart.

When the porridge is cooked until soft, sprinkle a few slices of juicy green vegetables on top.

Try it, do you have any appetite now?" he asked gently.

Jing Zhuo nodded, "This aroma has whetted my appetite."

The spareribs were stewed till soft, and the porridge had the freshness of scallops and the sweetness of Chinese cabbage.

"I never expected that Lord Wei also had such a good cooking skill. His skill in cooking porridge is so amazing."

In her memory, he seemed like a man in a study far away from the world, immersed in books and official duties all day long, and seemed to understand nothing about kitchen matters.

However, at this moment, the gentle smile on his face, like the warm sunshine in spring, completely overturned her previous impression.

It seems that I only liked his appearance and know nothing about Wei Songhan's inner qualities.

"If you like it, I'll cook it for you later."

Suddenly, he felt that these remarks were too ambiguous.

When his eyes gently fell on her gentle figure, Jing Zhuo seemed unaware and just concentrated on tasting the porridge in her hand. A faint smile inadvertently spread across the corner of her mouth.

As a result, his annoyance also dissipated a lot.

"Come to think of it, I really have to thank Lord Wei..."

"You let me stay here, so I will naturally return the favor. I just can't help but bother you for a few more days. The day after tomorrow, I will leave here for the capital."

"So fast." Jing Zhuo couldn't help but mutter to himself.

In fact, after getting to know him carefully, I found that this person is not as bad as I thought.

He is not only good at taking good care of children, but also good at cooking delicious meals. What's more, he is also considerate and caring towards others.

"In that case, you should stay here for the remaining few days!"

"I have met you today. I am worried that the illness in my body will be passed on to the children, so I will not visit them in the next few days. Don't worry, they will be safe and sound with the careful care of the nurse."

To be honest, Jing Zhuo was a little uncomfortable without the crying of two children.

But she was still very happy to be able to rest quietly for a few days.

After eating and drinking, she crawled back into bed, and Wei Songhan had no choice but to say goodbye and leave.

Jing Zhuo turned over and felt sweetness in his heart, like a flower blooming inadvertently in spring, quietly spreading in his heart.

The next day, Wei Songhan went out and bought some supplements.

"Alas, Lord Wei, we have a shop at home, why waste it?"

"That's yours, it's different from what I want."

Jing Zhuo sat in the pavilion basking in the sun, watching the wet nurse walking the baby from afar, with Wei Songhan sitting next to him.

She hadn't felt so good in a long time.

"Thanks to the porridge cooked by Lord Wei, I feel much better today. Now I can get up and bask in the sun. The sun is really comfortable." Jing Zhuo stretched lazily.

“You should get more sunlight.”

"In order to express my gratitude, I wanted to take Lord Wei to visit the store, but now it seems that I don't have the chance."

He will leave tomorrow.

Thinking of this, Jing Zhuo felt a sour feeling in his heart unconsciously.

Forget it, forget it, if you want to leave, just leave. We just met by chance.

"Well, I'm leaving, but that doesn't mean we won't be able to meet in the future. Will you go to the capital?"

Jing Zhuo raised his head and thought about it seriously: "Maybe, I will rush over later for business or a relative's wedding."

"Okay, I'll wait for you to come to the capital."

He said this seriously, and Jing Zhuo couldn't guess the meaning of his words.

Wei Songhan covered her with his cloak and said, "Don't catch a cold again."

Jing Zhuo seemed to remember something and suddenly stood up, "In that case, I've decided!"

Wei Songhan was startled: "What decision?"

"Let's have hot pot tonight. It can keep away the cold and also be a good way to see you off! Do you like lamb or beef?"

Looking at the other person's lively eyes, Wei Songhan nodded unconsciously, "I like them all."

So, in the evening, the whole family gathered together and ate hot pot.

Jing Zhuo specially prepared a double-boiled hotpot because she always likes spicy food, but Jing Xiangxue can't eat spicy food.

"This is spicy hot soup, this is clear soup made from pork bones, and there are also dipping sauces. Sir Wei, please feel free to use as you wish."

Jing Zhuo had already started to eat the mutton happily, but Wei Songhan knocked the mutton out of the spicy soup with a chopstick.

"Why don't you let me eat..."

Wei Songhan's face was solemn, and his tone was firm: "Have you forgotten? The cold is still plaguing you, you can only eat a light diet."

"Ah... then wouldn't this carefully prepared spicy soup base be wasted?"

"No problem, I'll taste it."

In fact, Wei Songhan couldn't eat spicy food at all, but he still forced the meat into his mouth. The numbing and spicy taste spread in his mouth, and the tip of his tongue felt hot as if it was burning.

He still swallowed it reluctantly, and after finishing it, he continued to remind her: "You are not allowed to eat spicy food."

Jing Zhuo couldn't help laughing as he watched him trying to hold back the spiciness.

"Master Wei, your mouth seems to be swollen, hahaha."

Jing Xiangxue looked at the interaction between the two and couldn't help but shook her head. She still felt pity in her heart, but she decided to respect her daughter's wishes.

Wei Songhan quickly took a sip of the herbal tea and said, "It is indeed quite spicy."

"Of course, I have strong tastes, but today, I will listen to you."

The beef slices in the pork bone soup are also quite delicious, and dipped in sesame paste and balsamic vinegar, it is even more memorable.

She was very satisfied with her meal today. Every time she looked up and saw Wei Songhan eating the spicy hotpot in a mess, her appetite was aroused.

"It would be even more enjoyable if we could pair it with some rice wine."

"Don't even think about it, cough cough."
