Chapter 147: Doctor Yao Arrives
Chapter 147: Doctor Yao Arrives
The courtyard in the village was not soundproof. When Mrs. Xi and her son walked to the door, they heard laughter coming from inside. They were a little surprised, but also felt very warm.
She covered her mouth with a handkerchief to hide her smile, and said gently, "This is great. I haven't heard the sound of laughter for a long time. It makes people feel happy."
"It's better than those fake and hypocritical laughters in the capital. The people in this courtyard must be easy to get along with."
Hearing her mother speak highly of the He family before even meeting them, Xi Zhiyi put aside her nervousness, sniffed the fragrance in the air, and said with a smile, "Aunt He must have cooked something delicious herself. Mother, you can try it later. It's delicious."
"Very fresh food, much better than what I had in the capital."
Mrs. Xi didn't expect that her third son, who was always very picky, would speak so highly of the farm snacks. She became curious and nodded with a smile. After glancing at the housekeeper beside her, someone came forward and knocked on the door.
"Dong dong dong~~~"
Hearing the rhythmic knocks on the door in the kitchen, Mrs. He instantly became nervous. She quickly straightened her clothes and combed her hair. She looked very flustered.
Xia Yining stepped forward and took her hand and said, "Don't panic, mother. Follow Ning'er and take a few deep breaths. Just treat it as you normally would when entertaining villagers."
When they arrived at the courtyard gate, Mrs. He nodded, and the two maids lowered their heads to open the door, then respectfully stepped back.
Because Madam Yin Xi was wearing a veil, the maid beside her gently lifted her foot and He Pozi could only see that she was wearing an apricot-colored satin dress, every embroidery on it was very colorful, her skin was white to a glowing white, and a young woman was looking at her with a smile on her face.
"This must be Sister He, right? It's just as Ranzhi said in the letter. She makes people want to get close to her, just like a family member." The smile on Mrs. Xi's face when she spoke made Mrs. He stare in amazement.
Xia Yining moved slightly in her arms, and she quickly moved away and said, "Madam Xi, please come in." Thinking of how she had just blocked someone at the door, her face turned red.
After an unknown amount of time, she discovered that Madam Xi had not entered the room. Mrs. He raised her head curiously and saw that she was staring at the little girl in her arms without blinking. Her eyes seemed to be filled with surprise, excitement, and excitement.
This look...
Mrs. He's heart skipped a beat. Thinking of some possibilities, she tightened her hands in her arms and her eyes became alert.
The maids and nannies around Madam Xi followed their master's gaze and were also surprised. It was obvious that they knew Xia Yining, but they were not sure based on the color of her skin.
"Madam, why don't you go in first?" The nanny next to her reminded her. Madam Xi knew that she had lost her composure and quickly adjusted her mood, but she kept looking at the little girl from time to time.
Xia Yining: “???”
It felt very strange, as that look clearly showed that he knew me.
Even after they sat down, Madam Xi kept staring at Xia Yining, fearing that she would disappear in the next second, and her eyes were full of love.
Mother He took a deep breath and asked, "Why does Madam Xi look at my daughter like this? What's the reason?"
These words attracted the attention of everyone in the room, including old man He who was standing outside the door. Because the room was full of women, he did not go in to avoid suspicion. Although he did not understand the rules of wealthy families, it was always better to have less trouble.
Madam Xi took off her veil, stood up with red eyes, sat beside the two of them, and said, "To be honest with you, Sister He, your little girl looks exactly like my best friend when she was a child."
"No, she is more outstanding than when she was a child."
"A few months ago, someone played a trick on my friend and his three-year-old daughter went missing. His family went crazy and searched the entire capital without success, so they sent people to search in the east, west and north directions."
Xia Yining listened quietly, frowned slightly, and asked in a childish voice: "Why only look in these three directions? Why not look in the south?"
Hearing her words, Madam Xi was a little excited and said quickly, "It was because the villain deliberately left clues in three directions, but the whole family of my good friend went out to look for her, including her sons who were scattered everywhere, but they still couldn't find her."
"Before leaving Beijing, I went to visit my good friend. She had always been pretty and delicate, but now she was lying on the bed, emaciated. She kept talking about her little girl, crying and crying while holding her clothes. She almost cried her eyes out."
"I heard that if her husband hadn't stopped her, she would have left the capital to look for her little girl in person." While speaking, Madam Xi stared at Xia Yining, trying to see something from her expression.
However, she was destined to be disappointed, as there was only curiosity but no sadness in the little girl's eyes.
Mrs. He was very upset. She hugged the little girl tightly in her arms and asked with difficulty, "Madam Xi, do you have anything else to say? I want to listen."
After saying that, she touched her little girl's head with a reluctant look, as if she had made a decision in her heart. Xia Yining could sense her emotions, and held her tightly, shouting, "Mom~~~Don't be afraid."
I was thinking about what the beautiful lady in front of me said. If it was true, then her original body would have been very favored at home and should not have been abused. Now that she has changed her heart, wouldn't it be easier to be exposed?
Xi Zhiyi, who was standing aside, was not calm inside. He heard from his mother's words that it was the Xia family in Beijing. Aunt Xia lost a little girl a few months ago, and every corner of the capital had been searched.
He didn't expect that the sister Ning Er, who he had been with for many days, was actually...
It was his younger sister whom he had met at the full moon banquet. At that time, his parents had joked about arranging a marriage for them and letting his younger sister become his wife in the future.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but blushing. Her eyes sparkled as she looked at Xia Yining. She was very happy in her heart. If it was true as her mother said, then Sister Ning'er could return to the capital.
Madam Xi nodded and was about to speak when she heard someone outside report that Butler Xi was standing at the door and said, "Madam, Divine Doctor Yao is here and is already at the gate of the courtyard."
Hearing this, the faces of the Xi family members darkened. They had never expected that the miracle doctor specially invited by the head of the Xi family would arrive later than them. If it weren't for the good fortune of the third young master, wouldn't he have died by now...
Even Madam He felt a little resentful when she thought of this. She looked at Mrs. He a little embarrassedly and said, "Sister He, this man is the genius doctor invited by Ranzhi's father to check his health. I don't know..."
Being interrupted at an important moment, although Mrs. He was unhappy, she still forced a smile and said, "Please ask someone to come in. Mr. Xi's health is the most important."
