Chapter 195 Family Letter
Chen Shulan asked her nanny to help remove the white gauze band on her head.

Xie Zhaozhao said "no need" and carefully dismantled it with his own hands.

When he saw the bloody scab on the back of his head as big as a fingernail, Xie Zhaozhao couldn't help holding his breath.

After checking Chen Shulan's pulse, it was confirmed that there was nothing serious, and Xie Zhaozhao breathed a sigh of relief.

Chen Shulan was surprised: "I didn't expect Miss Xie to know medicine."

"I learned a little bit while I had nothing to do."

After all, Chen Shulan is also a reasonable person. Xie Zhaozhao apologized sincerely and offered generous gifts, so Chen Shulan laughed it off and the matter was over.

After sending Xie Zhaozhao away, Chen Shulan was about to take a rest when Nanny Liu picked it up from outside, holding a letter in her hand.

As soon as she looked at the envelope, Chen Shulan's expression turned cold, and she lost any of the relaxation she had when talking to Xie Zhaozhao just now.

"This is the master's letter from home."

Aunt Liu stepped forward bravely and presented the letter to Chen Shulan, "Miss, take a look."

Chen Shulan turned around and lay down, as if she hadn't heard anything.

Mother Liu stood in front of the bed, sighed secretly and took the letter back.

When Chen Shulan got up after taking a nap, Aunt Liu handed over the letter again, "Miss, take a look, maybe it's something important..."

Chen Shulan was agitated.

But seeing that Nanny Liu's head was also wrapped in white gauze and her face looked not so good, she felt a little guilty.

She was not gentle when she injured Nanny Liu that night.

Several days passed, and Grandma Liu neither asked the reason nor had any excessive reaction.

After all, Aunt Liu was her wet nurse, so how could she take out her anger on others?
She deserved it and couldn't escape it.

Chen Shulan smiled bitterly, took the letter, read it, and threw it into the brazier to burn it with an expressionless expression.

"Miss?" Nanny Liu hesitated, "Then the letter..."

"My father is coming to the capital." Chen Shulan said with a stiff expression, "He will be there just after the Chinese New Year."

……

Xie Zhaozhao and Xie Changyuan left the mansion and took a carriage.

Xie Changyuan asked how the apology went.

Xie Zhaozhao said: "Ms. Chen has a lot of knowledge. If I don't have the same knowledge as you, this matter will be over."

"That's good." Xie Changyuan breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good."

"Fifth brother, you can never get so drunk again." Xie Zhaozhao frowned slightly, "In these troubled times, what will happen if others make a fuss about you when you are drunk?"

"Correct."

Xie Changyuan nodded and said cautiously: "I was careless that day, and I won't do it again in the future."

The two chatted for a while, and Xie Changyuan suddenly said: "Back then, Yun Qi vowed to me that he would marry you by the end of the year."

"It's almost the Laba Festival now, and the Chinese New Year is about to come in the blink of an eye. I don't think I've even scratched the surface yet, so I'm afraid it will be difficult."

Xie Zhaozhao said nothing and looked outside through the gap in the carriage window.

"Hey." Xie Changyuan tugged on Xie Zhaozhao's sleeve, "What do you think about this?"

"I don't think much about it." Xie Zhaozhao said lightly: "It's hard for him to make the decision on his marriage. He needs the Holy Emperor and the Crown Prince to let go."

"As for Your Majesty, don't say I can't use my strength. Even if my father is in the capital, I'm afraid he wouldn't dare to plan this matter casually."

"It is."

Xie Changyuan frowned: "The Holy One clearly prefers Miss Chen. If you jump out at this time and insist on being with Yun Qi, then the Holy One's wrath will fall on you."

"I'm afraid if you don't do anything, both the Holy Emperor and the Crown Prince will be dissatisfied with you."

"Whatever." Xie Zhaozhao said nonchalantly: "Anyway, the dissatisfaction is not limited to just one or two days. You may not be dissatisfied for more days in the future."

Xie Changyuan sighed: "Speaking of it, this is all because Yun Qi was too willful in the past few years, and it can't be ended now. He has to clean up the mess he created by his willfulness."

Xie Zhaozhao didn't say anything, thinking about the day he and Yun Qi saw Prince Liang in Qingfeng Tower.I think Yun Qi knew this matter well.

But there has been no movement so far. Xie Zhangyuan mentioned it today, which made Xie Zhaozhao a little worried.

Is it not going well?

Exactly halfway through, Xie Changyuan shouted to get off the car to meet friends.

Xie Zhaozhao put him down and simply asked someone to drive the carriage to Miaoshan Hall.

There were several patients in Miaoshan Hall today. Xie Zhaozhao waited for a while and after all the patients left, he got off the car in front of the door.

When the clerk saw that she was coming, he hurriedly came forward to greet her: "Miss Seventh is here, why didn't she send a message in advance..."

"I happened to have nothing to do when I was nearby, so I came over to take a look."

Xie Zhaozhao followed him to the back hall, "Is Your Highness busy today? When will you be back?"

"I didn't go to the Xuanjia Military Camp on the outskirts of Beijing today. I was with the Crown Prince in Zhongshu Province. It's hard to say when I'll be back."

"Oh."

Xie Zhaozhao nodded, "Then I'll take a stroll nearby and come back later."

After leaving Miaoshan Hall, Xie Zhaozhao walked around for a while.

It was a cold day and there was nothing to do outside. After walking around for a while, I simply went to the Su Mansion to chat with Xie Jiajia.

She arrived suddenly, and when she entered the house, she happened to meet Su Xiangyang leaving the house.

Su Xiangyang's face was extremely ugly, and his expression became even more gloomy when he saw Xie Zhaozhao.

He has always been kind and polite to Xie Zhaozhao, but this is the first time he has this expression.

Xie Zhaozhao pondered for a moment and called "brother-in-law."

Su Xiangyang responded stiffly, said nothing more, and left without looking back.

Xie Zhaozhao glanced at his back.

"Did the third uncle have a fight with the third lady?" Xianggui hesitated: "Then shall we go in or not?"

"Go in and have a look."

Xie Zhaozhao thought for a while, then took Xianggui and Xiangrong to Xie Jiajia's yard.

Hearing the cries of children coming from inside, Xie Zhaozhao couldn't help but speed up.

When they entered the house, they saw the grandma and wet nurse holding the baby and coaxing her, but Xie Jiajia was nowhere to be seen.

"Madam was just invited to the study by the master." A maid explained: "The young lady has been crying non-stop."

"I come."

Xie Zhaozhao took the child over and patted it awkwardly and carefully. The child gradually calmed down and fell asleep on Xie Zhaozhao's shoulder.

All the servants in the room breathed a sigh of relief.

"Miss Third?"

At this moment, Xianggui shouted, "Miss, the third lady is back."

When Xie Zhaozhao turned around, Xie Jiajia happened to step into the house.

Xie Zhaozhao handed the child to the wet nurse to put him to sleep, then turned to Xie Jiajia and said, "Sister."

Xie Jiajia raised her eyes, and the two sisters looked at each other.

Xie Zhaozhao felt that the way she looked at him was complicated, but it was not as gloomy as Su Xiangyang's.

"Come here, I have something to ask you."

Xie Jiajia turned around and walked into the inner room, waving people all the way out.

Xie Zhaozhao's heart skipped a beat and he followed in.

As soon as she sat down at the table, she heard Xie Jiajia say: "Did you kill Chen Yu?"
