Sick Man Turns Out to be a General

4In the next town, after changing into a carriage, they stopped to walk around. It took them eight days to arrive at the capital city, and when they saw the tall city walls at the city gate, Shen Jingli could not help but sigh with emotion.     1

    

Before they had returned, they did not notify Western Mu Mansion and Yang Mansion in advance. Thus, no one from the two prefectures came to the city gate to welcome them. After they had entered the city, they directly returned to County Prince's Mansion.    

    

and Mu Chen were not interested in Marquis Zhen Yuan Mansion at all, so they did not ask the carriage driver to stop the carriage, but instead directly returned to County Prince's Mansion.    

    

Because they had decreased a lot in the middle of the journey, and Yang Ningxin, Yang Ningtian and the rest had returned to the Yang Mansion the moment they entered the city, Shen Yue'er had also gone to the roast duck shop, so they only had two carriages that could carry people and a carriage that could load goods, the procession was not grand, and the carriage was also very ordinary, the spectators only took a casual glance at it, and then continued to watch the show of the Marquis Zhen Yuan Mansion.    

    

Mu Chen and Shen Jingli returned to the residence in a low profile. Upon entering the door, they saw Nanny Jin sweeping the courtyard away, her head was wrapped in a navy blue handkerchief, and she was bending at the waist while waving a large broom, sweeping away the leaves and dust in the courtyard. She was also mumbling to herself, "Why have the master and the wife not returned even after leaving the capital for so long? I heard that Mistress is pregnant, but I don't know what's going on. Can Jin Yu and Nian Hua's two children really be able to take care of them … "    

    

The moment he entered the door, he heard someone muttering and worrying about him. Shen Jingli couldn't help but be happy, this was great, in this space and time, many people cared about him and cared about him.    

    

"Sigh!" "Yue'er, that kid, is really something. After she reached the Mu Family Village, she immediately sent a letter to the Palace. It's been almost two months, and she didn't return a single word …"    

    

Nanny Jin was worried about Shen Jingli, so she started to blame Shen Yue'er as well.    

    

Shen Yue'er who was about to head to the roast duck restaurant, could not help but feel a chill behind him, and uncontrollably sneezed. He looked behind him, but didn't find anything amiss, so he quickly ran towards the roast duck restaurant.    

    

When Jin Yu and Nian Hua heard the Nanny Jin nagging at them, they were afraid that they didn't know how to take care of their pregnant woman, and couldn't help but want to laugh. However, when they saw that Shen Jingli was listening and trying his best to hold it in, they didn't want to disturb Shen Jingli's interest.    

    

"Qi'er is also not filial. I asked her to go to Western Mu Mansion or the Xu Family to ask them about the situation, but there was still no news. That useless brat should have married him earlier …"    

    

Shen Jingli started to mutter under his breath once again after hearing Nanny Jin finished reciting them, he could not help but burst out laughing, scaring Nanny Jin to the point that his hand trembled. He landed on the ground with his broom and turned back, he immediately looked at her and smiled, "Nanny Jin, we're back?"    

    

Nanny Jin froze, staring at Shen Jingli with her blurry eyes that had been doing embroidery all year round, then burst into tears of joy, "My wife, you have finally returned. This old servant has always been thinking about you, afraid that you will have a bad time outside …"    

    

Nanny Jin greeted him with a jog as she shook her three-inch-long golden lotus. She looked at Shen Jingli carefully for a good while, then said: "I got skinnier, didn't you say I was pregnant with a child? "Why did you lose so much weight?"    

    

Shen Jingli looked at Nanny Jin's pained expression and smiled, but did not say a word. Nanny Jin was just like the mothers who loved their son dearly, even if he got fatter, in her eyes, she had lost a lot of weight.    

    

"Is it a bad thing?" Nanny Jin did not dare to exceed her status and pulled Shen Jingli closer. After looking at him carefully for a long while, she shouted loudly, "Xiao Hong, Little Flower, quickly inform the people in the residence that Master and Madam have returned. Tell the kitchen to prepare some delicious food."    

    

The two maidservant s who were called ran out in a hurry. After bowing to Shen Jingli and Mu Chen, they ran off to inform the others, but Nanny Jin quickly stopped them, "Wait, get someone to prepare some hot water. Master and Madam must be tired after running for such a long distance.    

    

The two maidservant s responded as they shouted loudly. Then, they ran towards the kitchen to pass on the news.    

    

"You must be tired after bumping around on the road for so many days. Go back to your room and rest. I'll go to the kitchen and let them cook more food. They'll have to make up for it for you." Nanny Jin truly treated Shen Jingli as her own child and felt sorry for him after seeing Shen Jingli like this.    

    

"Alright, I'll definitely make it up to you in the near future." When Shen Jingli saw that the Nanny Jin doted on him so much, he felt extremely worried. Someone really was worried for him from the bottom of his heart, this feeling was not bad at all.    

    

When the Nanny Jin heard his teasing, she rolled her eyes in annoyance, "Alright, let's hurry up and rest. I'll take care of the rest."    

    

"Alright, then I'll leave everything to Senior Servant." Shen Jingli laughed happily and followed Mu Chen back to his room.    

    

He was really tired. The moment he got into bed, he fell into a deep sleep, not even bothering to bathe.    

    

When the servants brought hot water over, he had already slept for a long time. Mu Chen saw that he was sleeping soundly, so he did not wake him up. Instead, he ordered Nian Hua and Huaixin to take a bath first.    

    

After they finished bathing, Mu Chen called for Shen Jingli to get up.    

    

"Did I fall asleep?" Feeling that all the bones in his body were about to break, Shen Jingli lied down on the bed with a muddled expression and asked.    

    

He was really tired, and after being woken up by Mu Chen, he could only say that one sentence. He turned his head, and once again fell asleep.    

    

Seeing him like this, Mu Chen thought that there was nothing important, so he didn't call for him anymore, and instead brought Xun Er to eat.    

    

Nanny Jin was directing the maidservant to prepare a meal. Seeing that Shen Jingli had not come out, he asked: Master, where is the Madam?    

    

"He's too tired. He's still sleeping. When he wakes up, I'll prepare another meal for him."    

    

Shen Jingli was normally a little drowsy, and now that he was pregnant, it was normal for him to sleep more after a long journey. After thinking about it, Nanny Jin did not ask too much, and instructed maidservant to help Mu Chen and his son prepare some food while he went out to find Jin Yu and Young Master Hua.    

    

After sitting on the carriage for so many days, Jin Yu and Nian Hua were also tired. After lying in the house for a while, maidservant brought in the food and then got up to eat.    

    

When Nanny Jin entered, he saw them holding a bowl of food and wolfing down their food. They looked like they had been hungry for a few days, and when Nanny Jin saw them like this, she felt even more sorry for Shen Jingli. Even Jin Yu, Nian Hua and the other people with good appetites were hungry to such an extent.    

    

"Haven't you eaten on the way? "Why are you so hungry?" Nanny Jin had originally wanted to wait for them to finish eating before asking about Shen Jingli's pregnancy, but seeing them like this, she felt very upset and couldn't hold it in.    

    

Jin Yu and Nian Hua, who were eating, were stupefied when they heard this. They didn't understand why Nanny Jin would think that way. Although they had been walking along the main road and hadn't entered the city in the past two days, the carriage had a coal stove on it, and they still cooked some food along the way. Although there weren't many fresh ingredients and the dishes weren't particularly exquisite, there was no way they could get hungry.    

    

"Nanny Jin, what do you mean by that?" Blame them for not taking good care of her?    

    

The Nanny Jin's gaze swept across the ocean bowls in their hands, then looked at the dishes that were more than half eaten, and said with a pained heart: "If you're hungry, then eat more, the palace is filled with food."    

    

After hearing that, Jin Yu's and Old Man Hua's face reddened. Old Man Tianming, they are not really that hungry, that's why they are so anxious to eat, it's because they have not eaten any of the food in the palace for a long time, they miss it too much, and because they were too excited in the morning, they only ate two steamed buns, that's why they ate so much.    

    

Seeing Nanny Jin's pained and regretful expression, the two of them wanted to cry. Their good appetite had run out, so they put down the bowls and let Xiao Hong take them, then poured tea and rinsed their mouths before saying: "Nanny Jin, you came here because you have something to ask?"    

    

"I just want to ask about Madam's pregnancy. Why is it that these pregnant people are still so thin?"    

    

When the two of them heard Nanny Jin's words, they inwardly laughed. Nanny Jin must have been overly concerned about them, for the Madam was raised well in the Mu Family Village, not only did she not lose weight, she had even grown a bit stronger. However, the Nanny Jin did not seem to be able to see, she just felt that the Madam had gotten skinnier.    

    

"Madam has been doing very well in the Mu Family Village …" Jin Yu explained the situation of them staying at the Mu Family Village in detail. In order to prevent the Nanny Jin from being worried, he even explained everything that Shen Jingli would need to eat everyday.    

    

"Momo, don't worry so much. The master dotes so much on his mistress, how can he bear to see him suffer so much?" Jin Yu comforted the Nanny Jin in a soft voice, "If you're not at ease, now that Madam is back, please take care of me in the future. Madam will be able to get fatter very soon."    

    

As Jin Yu said this, she thought in her heart, Madam, you better not blame this servant, this servant said this to comfort Nanny Jin.    

    

When the Nanny Jin heard this, he also felt that it was true. The things in the past could not be changed, so she could only change the things that happened in the future.    

    

"That's right, Grandma, you don't have to be so worried. Didn't you see that Young Master has grown taller and more fleshy?" Nian Hua poured a cup of water for Nanny Jin.    

    

Speaking of Young Master, Nanny Jin let out a bitter laugh. This time when Young Master came back, he was a lot more lively. He even brought two eagles, and those two eagles even knew how to snatch food.    

    

"Alright, the two of you should rest for a while. When it's night time, we can go to Madam's room to wait on you." After thinking it through, Nanny Jin's mood became much better, she took care of Jin Yu and left after being young for a while.    

    

"..."    

    

When he woke up, his head was still dizzy and he couldn't tell day and night. Mu Chen had eaten, coaxed Xun Er to sleep, and then stayed in the room to read. Seeing that he was sick from waking up, Shen Jingli pressed his head against the wall.    

    

"Take a bath first." Shen Jingli replied without thinking.    

    

"Then I'll get someone to bring the water in." Mu Chen rubbed his shoulders again, then went out to call for help.    

    

After a while, the servants brought in the hot water, and gave Shen Jingli some balsam and towels.    

    

Shen Jingli took off his clothes and sat in the bathtub. The warm water made him moan uncontrollably.    

    

After running for a while, his mind became completely clear, and he suddenly remembered the bustling of Marquis Zhen Yuan Mansion. He asked: "Fourteenth, what happened to Marquis Zhen Yuan Mansion today?"    

    

"I heard that Brother Thirteen wanted to go with Ceng Wan'er and the Ceng family members were unhappy, so they came over to make trouble."
