Chapter 1406 Jin Yue 7
Has something happened at the manor? Or has something happened to Lin Jinyue?
No, if something had happened to Lin Jinyue, Mother would be overjoyed and wouldn't have hidden anything in the letter. Therefore, it must be something that happened in the manor. Cheng Qian frowned and glanced at his deputy: "Please, all generals, assemble in the main tent."
Tan You had no idea that her having someone forge Wei's letters had aroused Cheng Qian's suspicion, and that he was already planning to return from the border as soon as possible. She continued to take care of people and nurture the original owner's body, which had been mistreated for a long time, as usual.
Yang Cheng followed this little brat, and at the same time, she also benefited the servants who served her.
She is a very charismatic person. Everyone in Qinglanggan knows that she is not Lin Jinyue, but no matter who it is, they all treat her with utmost respect, and their eyes look at her with more and more love and admiration every day.
In this cutthroat society, people don't ask for much; they simply want to be fed, clothed, and treated as human beings. Clearly, Tan You fulfilled all of these requirements.
Early in the morning, Tan You was woken up by Cheng Sui. Gu Yu followed behind, covered in sweat: "Brother Sui, slow down, the girl didn't go to bed very late last night..."
She's only 20, but she's already finding it hard to keep up with Cheng Sui. In the past month or so, Tan You has managed to raise the previously sickly Cheng Sui to be exceptionally healthy, and he has so much energy that he has nowhere to expend it.
The number of maids following Cheng Sui has increased from two to six, but even so, there are times when they can't keep up with Cheng Sui.
Cheng Sui lay on the quilt: "Mother, are you feeling unwell? You didn't go for your morning exercise today."
Tan You sat up, still wrapped in the blanket: "I am feeling a little unwell. Your mother developed a health problem after giving birth to you and needs to take good care of herself."
Cheng Sui touched Tan You's hand, then kicked off his shoes and climbed onto the bed: "I'm warming Mother's hands, I'm so warm!"
Tan You then tucked the large hot water bottle into her bosom: "Alright, then thank you for your filial piety, Sui-ge'er. Today is the fifteenth, have you paid your respects to your grandmother?"
Cheng Sui tilted his head back and smiled at Tan You: "I'm coming back to wash up, and I'll go with my mother in a bit."
Tan You tapped the tip of his nose: "Okay, I'll wash up first."
"Guyu, Sui-ge'er is so energetic these days, the maids can't keep up with him anymore. Arrange for a few servants to accompany him today."
Gu Yu breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the sweat from her forehead and nose: "Then this servant will do a preliminary selection first, and then let the young lady take a look?"
Tan You nodded: "Okay, I trust you to do things."
Gu Yu responded cheerfully, and soon two more maids brought in hot water. Both were servants of Cheng Sui; Tan You didn't need them, as she preferred to do everything herself.
The maids were a little unaccustomed to it at first, but now they've gotten used to it.
After the mother and son finished washing up, Tan You led Cheng Sui, followed by Qing Langgan and a group of maids and servants, into Wei Shi's Bailu Pavilion. Wei Shi was restless in Bailu Pavilion at the moment, as the first and fifteenth of each month were the days when Tan You would come to pay her respects.
Madam Wei is now terrified of Tan You, how could she dare to see her? But Tan You is unwilling to be labeled as disrespectful to her mother-in-law, so she naturally comes to pay her respects every month.
Therefore, each time she paid her respects, it was like torture for Lady Wei, yet she could not refuse.
Chang's mother and Rong's mother exchanged a glance; they were both afraid.
Madam Chang: "Madam, the young mistress is always very dignified. Last time she paid her respects, she didn't do anything, did she?"
Rong's mother chimed in, "It will definitely be the same this time."
Madam Wei, however, was less optimistic: "It's not that easy. After Lin Jinyue gave birth, the household didn't arrange for anyone to properly take care of her during her postpartum period. Judging by the time, her period should be starting soon." Hearing this, both maids' hearts tightened. But then they thought again: Tan You had never made things difficult for the servants when dealing with Madam Wei. Even if someone was unlucky, it was Madam Wei's bad luck, what did it have to do with them, the servants who served her?
However, we should still help them. After all, while Wei Shi can't deal with Tan You, she has ways of controlling these servants.
Just as everyone was worried, Tan You led Cheng Sui in, both wearing cloaks. Tan You, who was usually very energetic, was unusually carrying a hand warmer today.
Wei glanced at her complexion quickly; her lips were pale and her overall appearance was not good, which immediately made Wei's heart jump.
Cheng Sui bowed respectfully, while Tan You sat down on the soft chair next to him after entering. Madam Wei forced a smile: "Sui-ge'er, get up quickly. You are so young and need plenty of sleep. Why do you need to come and pay your respects? Your grandmother can feel your filial piety."
Cheng Sui stood up: "My mother said that etiquette must not be disregarded."
He stood beside Tan You, and soon after entering the room, fine beads of sweat appeared on the tip of his nose. Gu Yu hurriedly helped Cheng Sui take off his cloak, revealing Cheng Sui in a smart outfit, full of energy.
Wei glanced enviously at Cheng Sui's physique, and couldn't help but think of Wei Ruoyu's two children. The two children were raised with great care, but it was precisely because they were raised so meticulously that both children were in poor health.
The older one contracted smallpox, and although the younger one was being cared for in front of her, it looked so-so, and she didn't know if it could even stand up.
How could anyone be as good at taking care of someone as Tan You? In less than two months, Cheng Sui, who was originally sickly, was transformed into a lively and energetic person by her.
Tan You stroked Cheng Sui's head: "Mother, today is the fifteenth. Speaking of which, it was around this time when I was in confinement after giving birth."
Wei felt a chill run down her spine; she knew this little monster was about to strike again. She knelt down with a thud: "Miss, I was wrong back then, I was blinded by greed. You can kill me or torture me..."
Tan You's ears twitched, and she suddenly smiled slightly: "Your eldest son is back."
Overjoyed, Ms. Wei scrambled to her feet and rushed outside. With her son back, she had found her anchor.
Seeing Wei rush out of Bailu Pavilion and take a group of servants with her, Gu Yu couldn't help but worry: "Miss, the young master is highly skilled in martial arts, and his guards are veterans of the battlefield. We only have a few people..."
Tan You chuckled: "Scared?"
Gu Yu nodded and then shook her head: "We are a little scared, but if you are not scared, then we are not scared either."
Cheng's attendant rummaged in his pocket and pulled out a small porcelain bottle: "Mother, I'm not afraid. If he dares to hurt you, I'll give him some muscle-relaxing powder."
Tan You squeezed her son's hand: "I was wondering where my muscle relaxant was. Turns out you took it."
Cheng Sui was a little embarrassed, but then said loudly, "My mother taught me that when you're traveling the world, you have to have some tricks up your sleeve. I'm small and weak now, so these are the only methods I can think of."
Tan You praised, "That's good. It's a good thing to be vigilant and know how to protect yourself."
Cheng Sui chuckled after receiving Tan You's praise. He rummaged through his tight-fitting clothes and finally pulled out a number of small porcelain bottles, all of which were the good stuff that Tan You had been tinkering with these past few days.
Gu Yu recognized some of the ingredients, but not others. Regardless, upon hearing the words "softening tendon powder," Gu Yu knew this was a sure thing.
Even for Cheng Qian, it's uncertain whether he can safely leave Bailuxuan this time.
