Chapter 144: Medical Prodigy
Looking at the child's serious expression, Jiang Li couldn't help but smile. She excitedly hugged An Ge'er and said, "Good boy!"
Finally, An Ge'er was held in his mother's arms. He happily hugged his mother's neck and started to act coquettishly: "Mom, An Ge'er is hungry~"
Jiang Li: ...
Who would have thought that he was a medical prodigy one second and a greedy little brat the next.
God has been kind to Jiang Li. All the children around her are sensible, well-behaved and very smart. In the future, she will definitely teach her medical skills to An Ge'er.
The two little girls standing there saw this and knew what was going on. It seemed that they were both wrong just now. They were even worse than the young master who was younger than them. They couldn't help but feel ashamed.
For dinner, Jiang Li specifically instructed the kitchen to braise a large chicken leg for each child in the family, and to give the chicken meat to the little girls in the school and the young men who practiced martial arts as a snack to nourish them.
The children who ate the fragrant braised chicken legs were so satisfied that their mouths were drooling with satisfaction, especially Jing Ge'er, whose mouth was stuffed full. He muttered vaguely, "Mom, we want to eat chicken legs tomorrow."
Jiang Li gave him a displeased look and said, "Only a few chickens can be slaughtered on our island. How can we eat chicken legs every day?"
Jing Ge'er blinked and said, "Eating chicken legs gives you strength, and Jing Ge'er will have more strength to shoot arrows."
Cough, cough cough——.
Jiang Li nearly swallowed a mouthful of soup and Yuan Niang hurried forward to help her calm down: "Madam, be careful."
Jiang Li paused, a smile spreading across her lips. She knew exactly what kind of archery Jing Ge'er was practicing. Ming Yang had made him a small bow and arrow a while ago, and now the boy was hooked on it.
"Archery training is good, but next spring, you'll have to go to school with your two brothers. It's time to calm down and focus more on your studies."
Jing Ge'er: ...
He wanted to say, what's the good of knowledge? He saw his brothers putting so much effort into writing, and they never said anything while writing. Don't they feel bored?
But his mother said that he had to be disobedient, otherwise the disobedient child would not have the delicious meat to eat.
So, he nodded heavily to avoid any embarrassment: "Yes, Jing Ge'er knows."
Although Jing Ge'er has a tough personality, fortunately he is also obedient.
Shangjing, Ouyang Mansion, Zhou’s Courtyard.
Zhou Xingyue was half lying on the chaise longue, reading a picture book to pass the time, when she saw the maid Xiao Cui running into the room in a hurry, and her pretty brows couldn't help but frown slightly.
"Why so irritable, what happened?"
Xiao Cui carefully closed the door and came up to her: "My dear, a white pigeon just landed in our yard. I saw something on its ankle and took it down."
Zhou Xingyue put down the sketchbook, stood up and took the bamboo tube handed to her by Xiao Cui, thinking that someone must be sending a secret message to Ouyang Xuan, but unfortunately a white dove flew into her yard.
Xiao Cui saw her open the bamboo tube without hesitation and pulled out a note from it: "Miss, could this be for the young master?"
Hearing this, Zhou Xingyue gave her a calm look and said, "It's okay. Even if it's for you, I can take a look. If I don't take a look, how can I know if it's a secret letter from someone else to you?"
Xiao Cui thought so too. At worst, she would just read it, put the letter back into the bamboo tube, and then take the opportunity to deliver it to the young master's study.
The young master hasn't stayed overnight in the young lady's room for a long time. It can be said that in the more than a year that she has been serving him, the young master has stayed in the young lady's room only a few times.
When Zhou Xingyue unfolded the letter and saw the words on it, his face changed drastically.
This, this secret letter was actually sent to her. Zhou Xingyue was very sure because the letterhead was full of warnings and also mentioned Changsheng Island.
[Disclosing the secrets of Changsheng Island is against the law of destiny. You will pay the price for it!]
These three short sentences were like an invisible hand strangling her neck.
She didn't know who had sent the secret letter. Could it be that Chu Ling's plan to lead his troops to attack Changsheng Island had failed?
When Zhou Xingyue thought of this, she quickly denied this possibility.
She did not sign the secret letter offering advice, so even Chu Ling did not know that the letter was from her hand, so how could outsiders know it?
Even if Chu Ling was really defeated, no one would know that it was she who told the story about Changsheng Island.
It is rumored that the old owner of Changsheng Island is a descendant of the Liu family of Daning, and is proficient in divination. However, according to the date, the old owner should no longer be alive.
The person in charge of Changsheng Island now is a scholar who was taken in by the old island owner many years ago. It is said that this person is the old island owner's concubine kept in the pavilion. He is illiterate and as timid as a mouse.
In her previous life, she learned from Chu Ling that the reason why the Huai Wang army repeatedly won in the chaotic battles was because they learned the secret of Changsheng Island, broke the barrier on the sea, recaptured Changsheng Island for their own use, captured several cities in one fell swoop, and finally broke through to the imperial city.
She thought that in this life, with her memory, she could help Chu Ling recapture the island ahead of time. With the countless treasures and talented people on the island, Daqing would be able to emulate the Huai Wang Army in the previous life and stand out from this chaos.
As long as Chu Ling successfully takes over Changsheng Island, he can then use the information she continues to provide to reverse the fate of Daqing in the previous life.
Afterwards, she would take the opportunity to meet Chu Ling again. As Chu Ling loved her deeply in his previous life, he would definitely accept her again and free her from Ouyang Xuan's confinement.
It was a perfect plan, so how could it go wrong?
Why are many things and nodes different from her previous life? Isn’t God helping her? But why are the results always contrary to her wishes?
Seeing that her master looked dejected and absent-minded after reading the letter, Xiao Cui was worried that she would be discovered by the master if she peeked at the letter, so she carefully advised him against it.
"My dear, do you want me to deliver this letter to the young master's study?"
"No!" Zhou Xingyue came back to her senses in an instant and held the letter tightly in her palm.
She revealed that Ouyang Xuan must not know about the matter of Changsheng Island. If Ouyang Xuan became suspicious of her, he would definitely not let her go until she found a way to get out of the current predicament.
Xiao Cui was startled and pursed her lips in a hesitant manner: "Little girl~"
Zhou Xingyue knew she was frightened. Now she only had Xiao Cui by her side. She tried hard to suppress the anxiety and irritability in her heart and gestured, "Bring the candlestick over here."
"Yes, girl." Xiao Cui didn't dare to ask more questions. She turned around and took the candlestick to light it.
I witnessed with my own eyes the master burning the letter until it was reduced to ashes, and I was extremely scared, fearing that the master had burned the young master's important letter.
Zhou Xingyue calmed down and waved her hand to signal her to take the candlestick away. Her mind was full of thoughts. She always felt that there was always someone behind the scenes messing up everything she did after her rebirth.
Who is it?
Only those who have been reborn like her have the ability to predict. Could it be the eldest wife?
impossible!
The first wife must have died when the Huai Army massacred Yanzhou City. Even if the first wife was still alive, how could they, a pair of peasants, stop her from moving forward!
