Chapter 57 The Decree
"Follow the heavens, the emperor ordered..."

Xiao Jinyue knelt behind her parents, lowered her head, and silently listened to her father-in-law reading the imperial decree in a cadence.

This was Xiao Pingyuan's decree to demote him.

The imperial decree was not long, and the father-in-law who announced it soon finished reading it.

Eunuch Huang put away the bright yellow imperial decree, and looked down at the family kneeling in front of him, but unfortunately, he couldn't see anything except the swarthy heads.

This family has only been from the north to the capital for more than a month. When encountering such a major event, they don't know whether they were shocked or too calm. After hearing the decree of demotion, they didn't react at all.

Forget it, whether he reacts or not has nothing to do with him as a father-in-law. If he loses his sacred heart, what future will this family have.

Eunuch Huang looked away indifferently, put away the bright yellow imperial decree in his hand, and handed it to Xiao Pingyuan who was kneeling at the front, "Du Yuhou, please accept the decree."

Xiao Pingyuan thanked Shengen, and accepted the imperial edict calmly.

Eunuch Huang shook his head, didn't even take his purse, and left with the two little eunuchs without looking back.

The chief steward followed behind and sent them out.The other servants looked at each other in blank dismay for a while, and retreated after the chief steward.

Xiao Pingyuan held the imperial decree in one hand, and helped Mrs. Xue up with the other, "Haha, I finally don't have to be the deputy commander in front of the Laoshizi Hall."

Mrs. Xue glared at him, "He hasn't gone far yet, so you should keep it at least."

He frowned again, "Although you don't need to be the deputy commander in front of the palace in the future, this is not what you want..."

As soon as Mrs. Xue said these words, she realized that several children were looking at her suspiciously, and swallowed them back.

Xiao Pingyuan waved his hands indifferently, "It's okay, it's up to people to do it. If the goal is not achieved this time, it doesn't mean it won't work next time."

After hearing what the two said, Xiao Jinyue's eyes flickered slightly. It seemed that the parents had some secrets?
"Father, did you beat the servant of the household department on purpose this time? Just to stop serving as the deputy commander in front of the palace?" Xiao Haoqing frowned, obviously Xiao Jinyue was not the only one who thought so.

Xiao Pingyuan glanced at the children with a calm expression, "Okay, Dad has a proper way of doing things, so you don't need to worry."

Throwing the Minghuang imperial decree in his hand to the eldest son, "Take it and put it in the ancestral hall."

He waved at the children again, "Okay, let's go, let's do what we have to do."

Xiao Haoqing walked all the way to the ancestral hall with the imperial decree in his hands, his thick eyebrows and big eyes were still tightly frowned.

Xiao Jinyue looked at her elder brother's tall and straight back, not the slightest bit of his usual carelessness.

Thinking in her heart, could it be that her eldest brother has more than one side?
It seems that this family is not simple.

The two sisters walked towards the inner courtyard together, and Xiao Jinlan saw that she was quiet all the way without saying a word, thinking that she was worried about the imperial decree just now.

He stepped forward to hold her arm, reached out and patted her lightly, "Are you worried about Dad being demoted? Dad is a very measured person when doing things. Since he said don't worry, you don't have to think too much."

Xiao Jinyue glanced at her sideways, seeing that her expression was normal, she couldn't help asking curiously, "Sister, are you really not worried?"

Xiao Jinlan walked steadily, without pausing at all, "I can't help if I worry about it now. In this case, it's better to choose to trust Dad. You just need to know that Dad is not a reckless man who acts impulsively."

After hearing this, Xiao Jinyue did not continue to ask.

Although she realized that her father did this on purpose, she didn't know why he did it.

From the few words of conversation between his father and mother, it seems that the former Situ Yuhou is not his goal.

Although she intends to help her father advance in the officialdom, but without knowing the inside story, if she intervenes rashly, it may ruin his father's arrangement.

Although she has traveled here for more than a month, she doesn't know much about the affairs of the court.It seems that we can only pay more attention in the future and find a way to collect some news from the court.

"Sister, you go back first, I'll go and see Huixiang and Shanshun. Both of them were injured yesterday, so I don't know what's going on now."

Xiao Jinlan frowned, at first she disagreed, but after another thought, Anise and Shanshun got hurt after going out with her yesterday.

It's also right for my sister to go to see their injuries, "Go, go back and rest early after watching, your own injuries haven't healed yet."

Xiao Jinyue waved at her, "Don't worry, big sister, I'll go back after reading."

Shan Shun was thrown off the carriage by a startled horse yesterday and broke his left leg. When Xiao Jinyue came to see him, he was pleasantly surprised and ashamed.

"Second girl, it's useless to be small. I failed to restrain the startled horse, and almost killed you."

Shan Shun heard from the second steward yesterday that the second girl was thrown out of the carriage, if she hadn't happened to be rescued by the prince of Zhen Guogong, she would have been disabled if she didn't die.

It was He Wanying's master and servant who did the trick, Xiao Jinyue naturally wouldn't blame a servant.

"You don't need to apologize, it's not your fault for startling the horse. I'll take your pulse and see how your leg is doing."

Shanshun originally thought that it was a compliment for the girl to come to see him as a servant, but he didn't expect to help him diagnose his pulse now.But I couldn't protect the girl yesterday, so I couldn't help feeling ashamed.

Xiao Jinyue didn't know what was going on in his mind, so after checking his pulse, he took apart the splint and checked it.

The second steward sent him to a doctor in Kyoto who is good at treating trauma yesterday for diagnosis and treatment. The broken bones were connected, the medicine was applied, a splint was put on, and several medicines were prescribed before he was brought back to the manor.

After the inspection, Xiao Jinyue fixed the dismantled splint again, "Your leg is well connected, take good care of it, and remember not to move it. I will instruct the chief steward to find you a servant to take care of you for a while. "

Shan Shun was even more grateful when he heard the words, and hurriedly thanked her.He was worried that he broke his leg and couldn't move. He didn't expect the second girl to be kind and help him solve this trouble.

After seeing Shanshun, Xiao Jinyue went to look at Fennel again.

In order to protect her yesterday, this girl hit her head and suffered a concussion, but luckily it was not serious.

The doctor who was invited to treat Xiao Jinyue yesterday, Mrs. Xue also asked him to see Fennel, and prescribed some medicines, saying that he should take good care of it.

Xiao Jinyue took Fennel's pulse, asked about the situation, and carefully checked the doctor's prescription.

After reading it, I sighed in my heart. Although the doctor connected Shanshun's broken leg, there was no problem.But neither the prescriptions nor the medicines she applied were comparable to those made in her previous life.

Another doctor prescribed the medicine for Fennel, although it is still suitable for the symptoms, but if she prescribes it, the effect will be better.

Although she intended to re-prescribe the medicine for the two of them, but it was hard for a clever woman to cook without rice.

Xiao Jinyue doesn't have any suitable medicinal materials at hand now, so she can only suppress this idea for the time being.

It seems that she still needs to build a pharmacy in the mansion as soon as possible, buy a batch of medicinal materials, and prepare some commonly used medicines by herself.

Xiao Jinyue had seen Fennel and was about to go back to rest, but Xue sent a maid to pass the word that Li Wenhao came to visit suddenly and insisted on seeing her, saying that he had something urgent to discuss with her.
