Xia Manor's plague was under control, and the isolation was lifted. Xia Yi An relaxed in bed, sleeping soundly.

"Miss, it's not good …" "Oh no!" The moment Jin Lei entered, he saw Xia Yi An sleeping soundly with her blanket tucked between her legs as if she was in an indecent position. He turned a deaf ear to her shouts.

She went over and pulled back her quilt and whispered in her ear, "Get up, miss! Madam knows that something has happened to the young master, and has fainted from anxiety! "

"What?" Xia Yi An sat up. Her clear eyes were not sleepy at all. She angrily hit the bed and said, "Didn't I tell you not to leak the information? Who told her?"

This was the first time Jin Lei saw her angry, so he said evasively, "It's Auntie Mei and Auntie Xue. When they went to visit the mistress, they told her about the young master's accident."

Xia Yi An grabbed her messy hair and humphed, "Green Bamboo Snake's mouth, wasp tail with needles." "Both of them can be used, but the most poisonous thing is the woman's heart."

Jin Lei nodded in agreement and helped her get up and get dressed.

… ….

"Please don't be sad, my lady. The young master is blessed, and his martial arts are outstanding. He will definitely be fine …" Jin Jiu consoled her as he walked along the side of Madame Jiang's chest. After the two concubines left, Madame Jiang began to cry to herself, unable to persuade her no matter how hard she tried.

Due to a severe illness, she had fainted just now, but now she woke up and started crying again. Jin Jiu felt that he had said all that he could to comfort his friend. He really didn't know how to comfort her, so he could only send someone to get Xia Yi An to come over.

"Mother." As soon as Xia Yi An entered the room, she heard the sound of wailing. She couldn't help but feel irritated. It was currently a busy autumn day, and the two aunts still wanted to come and cause trouble, so she was extremely annoyed.

When Madame Jiang saw her, she cried and said, "An'er, why did you have to lie to me? I knew that something had happened to Mo'er. Is he not coming back?"

"Mother." Xia Yi An sat beside her and held her hand as she consoled her, "Big brother was captured in Jing Prefecture. However, I'm sure he'll be able to save you with the presence of King Han. Look at you. Being sick for so many days, your complexion has not been good, and now you look even older. If you continue to cry like this, you'll be at least ten years older.

Back then, Xia Yi An had given the mask she made to Madame Jiang for a period of time. Her skin was visibly much better. Even Xia Yuanbin had praised her rejuvenation, making her happy for a long time.

Women always took their looks seriously. After hearing Xia Yi An's words, she stopped crying. Jin Ju silently complimented Xia Yi An on the side. This method of persuading people was really brilliant.

Lady Jiang held Xia Yi An's hand and asked hopefully, "Can Duke Han really save Mo'er?"

A woman who could manage the entire Xia Manor in a neat and orderly manner had become completely lost in the face of her own flesh and blood.

Xia Yi An solemnly nodded and said, "Definitely." She didn't know why she trusted that man who she had only met twice. Perhaps it was because his name was famous.

After comforting Madame Jiang to sleep, Xia Yi An prepared to go to Mei Yuan and Xue Yuan to 'greet' the two aunts. However, she received another message halfway through her journey.

Xia Yi An felt a chill in her heart. The person who had spoken to her a few days ago might not be coming back from Jing Prefecture.

In ancient times, the plague was usually caused by a virus, and it happened on a large scale with a very small ability to control it. In the case of underdeveloped medicine, the plague is more terrible than the flood of raptors.

"Tell the accountant that Aunt Mei and Aunt Xue have halved their monthly allowance for the next month. If they ask, tell them that the madam ordered them to do so. The two madams are not following the rules and are spreading the news randomly."

"Yes." Jin Lei looked at the calm Xia Yi An. He felt that she was so majestic that no one could approach her today.

Xia Yi An was the kind of person who would not do anything if they didn't offend her. She definitely wouldn't take this lying down if these two aunts made her worry.

He was already in a bad mood, so he decided to vent his anger on the two of them.

… ….

After entering the study room, Xia Yuanbin leaned his head against a wooden chair, closed his eyes, and rested. His deeply furrowed brows had not relaxed at all during this period of time. Xia Yi An felt that he had aged a lot. Now that her brother's life and death were unknown, he definitely felt heartache.

She walked in with a bowl of chicken soup filled with medicine to replenish her vital energy and blood. She placed it in front of him and softly said, "Father, you've worked hard all day, so drink a bowl of chicken soup to replenish your body."

Seeing her sensible appearance, Xia Yuanbin felt more at ease in his heart. For once, he smiled, picked up his bowl and said, "Yian is thoughtful. This chicken soup is very fragrant. What other things did you put inside?"

Seeing that he was smiling, Xia Yi An also laughed along. She said, "Add some Platycodon grandiflorum, Astragalus and red dates. They all replenish your vital energy and blood."

Xia Yuanbin began to drink with a white porcelain spoon. Even his fatigue from the past few days seemed to have dispersed with the steaming hot air.

After drinking a bowl, Xia Yuanbin became even more sad. He sighed and said, "In the past, your elder brother also loved to get people to stew chicken soup for me. But now, he lost his connection in the Jingzhou region. If he also had the plague …"

At the end, his voice choked and he could not continue. An old tear slid down his cheek. Xia Yi An's heart ached. Were they really going to send the black haired man to the white-haired man?

"Father, no news is the best news. At the very least, we can know that big brother isn't dead yet. He is an official of the imperial court. If anything happens to him, he will definitely send a message. You can be at ease. Your big brother is so capable, why would he leave himself here? "

Xia Yi An stood respectfully in front of him. Her words were very reasonable, and Xia Yuanbin nodded to her. After a long while, he finally said, "This matter must not be let your mother know. I'm worried that she won't be able to take it."

"Yenan knows." Xia Yuanbin had asked her to hide it from her mother several times. Just because she wanted to protect him, she was moved from the bottom of her heart.

Leaving the study, she wandered about the garden with a heavy heart. A simple and elegant white dress, with a green jacket, and a pear blossom jade hairpin on her head, coiled around the fiery red crabapple blossoms.

That day, all she had to do was dream about the Begonia, and so many things happened as soon as she woke up. The strange fire in her dream was like a prelude to the Jingzhou riots. She raised her head to look at the crabapple tree before her and let out a low sigh.

A light drizzle fell from the sky. It was so thin that it landed on the Begonia. The dream-like scene stunned her. She didn't even know that her hair had been dyed with a thin layer of rain.

When Jin Lei came out to look for her, he immediately saw a wisp of white within the fiery red glow. He hurriedly carried the azure bamboo umbrella over her, and said with a pained and reproachful voice, "Miss, you have to cherish your body. The young master is in trouble, and the madam is also sick.

Xia Yi An laughed lightly. She looked at the Begonia and asked, "Do you think the Begonia is beautiful?"

Jin Lei nodded. "Of course it's extremely beautiful. It's just that after opening it up for so long, it's no fun at all."

After a long while, she finally said, "Su Shi once wrote a line of 'A Pear Blossom on a Tree'. Although it was a poem used to tease a good friend, it had somehow made a comparison between the two flowers. The Pear Blossom on the other hand, didn't feel the same way."
