176, sick

The coachman relaxed the reins and let the horse run for a while, then the scale slowed down. The coachman took the opportunity to stop the carriage at the entrance of a teahouse and apologized to ask Xu Shu and others to get off the car, "Please get off the car first, Rong Xiao will check! There is a teahouse here, and the lady can rest for a while!"

Wanfeng helped Xu Shu get out of the car, but Xu Shu didn't walk towards the teahouse, but reached out and touched the horse's neck. The coachman whispered, "Miss Jiu, be careful, this horse suddenly became crazy just now, and I'm afraid there is something wrong. Miss Jiu should stay away and be careful of being hurt!"

Xu Shu raised her other hand and signaled the driver not to speak. The hand that touched the horse's neck slowly touched the horse's back, gradually touching the upper part of her right hind leg, and suddenly felt a little sticky. Xu Shu turned her palm over and exclaimed, "Blood! Miss, are you injured?"

"It's not me!" Xu Shu shook her head, "It's the horse who was injured!"

Tracing the snow, I remembered the coachman's urge to whip the horse just now, and couldn't help but look at the coachman and said dissatisfiedly, "Uncle Zeng, I just told you to hurry up, so I won't be so cruel!"

The coachman waved his hands repeatedly, "No, no! It's not about the little one's business! The little one controls the force on his hands and will not hurt the horse!"

Xu Shu continued to touch her hand along the sticky ones. The horse suddenly trembled slightly. Wanfeng quickly pulled Xu Shu away. When the horse calmed down, Xu Shu ordered the coachman, "Download the shaft of the car!"

"Yes!" The coachman stepped apart from the horse.

Taxue pointed to the top of the horse's right hind leg and said, "The horse is injured!"

The coachman looked at the injured position of the horse, turned his head to check the carriage frame, suddenly let out a low voice, took off something, looked at Xu Shu, and handed it over to Taxue. It was a needle, "Girl, this is found in the carriage, tied to the leather rope of the carriage. It was this needle that hurt the horse just now, and the horse was in a crazy way!"

Taxue wiped the needle clean with a handkerchief and held it in front of Xu Shu. Xu Shu groped and held it in her hand for a moment. Suddenly, she pinned the needle to her sleeve, and then ordered the coachman, "Carry a car!"

The carriage was packed, and the coachman asked, "Or go to the Duke Rong's Mansion?"

Xu Shu nodded, "Hurry up, it's not good if you go late!"

"Yes!" The coachman cheered up, held the reins and threw them down with a whip, and the carriage immediately flew forward.

Li's carriage was at the forefront, and Xu Ting's carriage followed closely. When Xu Shu's carriage ran into another fork, Li did not see it.

Xu Ting slightly raised the curtain and watched Xu Shu turn to another road. She couldn't help but smile with a comfortable smile, put down the curtain, tidy up her clothes, and keep her clothes very dignified.

When he arrived at the Duke Rongguo Mansion, Li got off the carriage and found that Xu Shu's carriage was missing. He couldn't help but say in surprise, "Where is Sister Shu? She fell behind but didn't follow?"

Xu Ting also pretended to be surprised, "Huh? Where has Jiu Mei gone? Could it be that she went there secretly, right?"

Li shook his head, "No! If she wants to go out for fun, she can do whatever she wants. Since she has agreed to come to Duke Rong's mansion today, she will not come, and she will not leave secretly without saying hello and calling her on the way!"

Xu Ting chuckled, "Mother, Ninth Sister has been very willful recently. Although she didn't do this before, that doesn't mean that she is not this time! Did you forget that just a few days ago, she insisted on going to the village to make trouble?"

After thinking about this, Li thought Xu Ting’s words made sense, and couldn’t help but complain, “This child is really! If you don’t want to go and just say it to me, I can still suppress her! Why do you need to use such tricks? It’s just for nothing!”

Xu Ting naturally held Li's arm, put her chin on Li's shoulder, and said coquettishly, "Jinmei is still young, so it's normal for her to play. Mother, don't be angry, your daughter will apologize to you for Jiumei!"

"You! You!" Li poked Xu Ting with affectionateness, "You helped her with the aftermath of the trouble, and you helped her speak with Sister Shu's willfulness and arrogance. She has been cheating on others' affairs all day long, so why don't you cheat yourself?"

Xu Ting smiled sweetly, "My daughter is an sister, of course she should care more about her younger brothers and sisters! Besides, what can my daughter have to do? Isn't my daughter still a mother?"

Li smiled lovingly, straightened Xu Ting's hairpin, and brought Xu Ting into the side door of Duke Rong's mansion.

After entering the Duke of Rongguo Mansion, Li's house was not lively, and only after meeting the old lady did I know the reason.

"Today is just a family dinner, everyone is a relative, just be as casual as you want!"

Family dinner!

relative!

Li was happy. The Rongguo Duke Mansion treated the Xu family as his in-laws, which meant that the Rongguo Duke Mansion had admitted that marriage!

Li sat down happily. Old Mrs. Qi glanced at Xu Ting and asked, "Why didn't the girl Shu come?"

Li's face showed a slightly embarrassed look, and Xu Ting replied softly from the side, "My ninth sister is not in good health, so she can't attend the banquet. She has let down the old lady's wishes. I'm really sorry!"

"I'm sick!" Old Mrs. Qi sighed, "Her body is also very thin!"

Mrs. Deng, who was standing beside her, smiled, "I don't know what the children nowadays think. They want to blow away like the pictures of ladies. A gust of thin wind can be blown away. Yarong has also been talking about losing weight recently!"

"It's not good to be too thin!" Old Mrs. Qi looked at Xu Ting, and saw Xu Ting's posture well-proportioned, she couldn't help but nod.

"Grandma said bad things about me again!" Deng Yarong smiled and turned from the back hall, holding a few branches of flowers that Xu Ting could not call out, "This is the flowers I gave to my grandmother. Is it good-looking?"

"Who said bad things about you?" Old Mrs. Qi smiled and scolded, took the flower branches and sniffed it, and praised, "It smells so fragrant, I can even save incense when I put it in the room!"

"Then put it in!" Deng Yarong smiled and called someone to insert the flower branch with a beauty bottle, and then sat next to Mrs. Deng. Mrs. Deng urged her to greet Li, "Why don't you go see your Aunt Li!"

Deng Yarong curled his lips secretly and gave honest greetings to Li and Xu Ting. After meeting each other, Deng Yarong said curiously, "Xu... Why didn't Miss Xu Jiu come?" He was used to Xu Shu, and Deng Yarong almost blurted out Xu Shu's name.

Li followed Xu Ting's excuse just now and replied, "She is not feeling very comfortable and is raising her at home!"

Deng Yarong sat back with some disappointment. Last time she suffered from Xu Shu's loss in the palace, but she failed to take revenge. She felt so angry that she planned countless revenge plans after returning. She originally hoped that she could take revenge this time, but unexpectedly, Xu Shu didn't come and lost her goal with full fighting spirit.

While everyone was having fun, someone suddenly came from the door to report, "Old lady, madam, Miss Xu Jiu is here!"
