Xu Mingjin hadn't finished speaking when she was interrupted by Mrs. An laughing: "Miss Xu is visiting our house for the first time, also the first time seeing my niece, no grudges or grievances, you wouldn't harm her, if you wanted to harm her, just hide in the banquet and not come out would be enough, why bother with this extra move?"

  Xu Mingjin listened and felt at ease, she took out one of the bottles from those jars and said to Mrs. Anguo: "Madam, this bottle was used by my brother, it's very effective for treating burns and doesn't leave scars, there's not much left, but looking at Miss's injury, it should be enough."

  The lady of An Guo took it over, opened it and took a look. A faint scent like orchid and musk wafted into her nose, making her spirit lift. She said: "This should be something only available in the palace, I didn't expect Miss Xu to have such good things." The rumor of Xu Mingjin's close relationship with Princess Jinglin had been circulating for a long time, so Lady An Guo thought this bottle of medicine was a gift from Princess Jinglin to Xu Mingjin, and didn't think much of it.

  Yu Zhu helped the young lady Qier clean and dress her wound, while Madame Anguo took out a few taels of silver to send the doctor away. However, the doctor was stubborn and refused to accept the payment, insisting that he hadn't actually treated anyone. Madame Anguo had no choice but to order the servants to escort the doctor out.

  Xu Mingjin sat down beside the tea table, and the little maid poured her a cup of tea. She picked it up and took a sip, but suddenly found herself thinking about Xuan Yuanze in her mind. She wondered if he was doing well on the border, what kind of hardships he had endured, and whether he had lost weight... She was startled by her own thoughts - how could she be like a little wife, missing Xuan Yuanze? Thinking this way, Xu Mingjin's face turned slightly red, fortunately, Madame An Guo was staring at the screen on the other side and didn't notice. Xu Mingjin quickly threw away those distracting thoughts in her mind.

  Yu Zhuo, when he was a secret guard, probably often dealt with some injuries, so the young lady didn't make any screaming sounds. Madame An Guo Hou looked on, letting out a long sigh. Only then did she relax and sit back down next to Xu Ming Jin, sipping tea while chatting idly with him for a few sentences.

  Xu Mingjin said: "I don't know what to call this niece of Madame Anguo?"

  Mrs. An Guo Hou heard Xu Mingjin ask her niece and smiled: "She is the daughter of my mother's brother, and her maiden name is Yongqi. You can just call her Yongqi." Xu Mingjin nodded and said: "I don't know how old Miss Yongqi is this year?"

  The wife of An Guo Hou said: "This year is fifteen."

  Xu Mingjin smiled and said: "Then I'll have to call you Sister Yongqi."

  An Guo's wife smiled brightly after hearing this. At this time, Yu Zhu came out from behind the screen and said: "Madam, Miss, that young lady's injury has been treated and she is now out of danger."

  Madam An Guo heard this and hastily got up and went behind the screen, Xu Mingjin followed her in.

  As soon as Xu Mingjin entered, he saw a woman lying on the bed behind the layers of curtains, her face pale, with only her head exposed outside the silk quilt. Earlier at the banquet, Xu Mingjin was too busy watching the flying teapot to notice anything else. Now, under the dim light in the room, Xu Mingjin still caught sight of the woman's lovely and delicate features at a glance, with a pair of big, shining eyes that made him feel pity. As soon as he saw her, he felt a sense of affection.

  At this time, the woman turned her eyes to look at Xu Mingjin. She opened her mouth and said: "You're the one who dodged but let the teapot fall on me? I remember you, you were sitting next to me." Her voice was crisp and pleasant, unlike the gentle and soft tone of the Crown Prince's wife. The two had their own unique qualities, but Xu Mingjin still preferred listening to Miss Yongqi's voice. However, what she said made Xu Mingjin feel particularly embarrassed, and he blushed as he apologized: "Sorry."

  Who would have thought that after listening to Xu Mingjin's words, the usually quiet and reserved Yongqi Miss suddenly burst out laughing, her laughter sounding like the gentle tinkling of wind chimes, pleasant and soothing to Xu Mingjin's ears.

  She smiled enough, then said to Xu Mingjin: "That teapot wasn't thrown at me by you, how could it be your fault? It's just that I was busy talking to others at the time and didn't notice. You were trying to pull me over at the time, but unfortunately didn't succeed. You and Aunt came together to see me, and even let your maid apply medicine for me, I don't blame you, really."

  Xu Mingjin was overjoyed and said: "Miss Liu Er, thank you for not blaming me. Otherwise, I would have been worried sick about what happened to you."

  Liu Yongqi did not expect that Xu Mingjin could actually find out her surname Liu from those few words of her aunt, which was very strange. Xu Mingjin knew what she was thinking and said: "The wife of the Duke of An is from the Nanchang Duke's mansion, I can guess that you are Miss Liu, it's not surprising." Aren't you also married to a sister in the Ye family? Aunt Ye almost walked horizontally in the Xu mansion for this. It would be strange if I didn't know.

  After watching the conversation for a long time, Mrs. An Guo said: "Miss Xu Liu, the banquet on that side may have ended by now, I'm sure Qi Er and Miss Xu Liu are hungry, why don't I go to the kitchen to order some dishes, you can just eat here?"

  Miss Liu said: "It's about time, I've been starving!"

  Xu Mingjin also nodded in agreement, this arrangement was quite to her liking. Anyway, she didn't want to go back to the banquet and see the face of Princess Pingxi.

  Lady An Guo arranged everything and then got up to return to the banquet. As the host, she couldn't leave the table for too long.

  Xu Mingjin and Liu Er's Miss had a few casual conversations, the maid brought up the dishes. Considering that Liu Er's Miss was injured, the dinner table was set in front of Liu Er's bed.

  Because Miss Liu Er was injured, the dishes were relatively light. There was a old duck and asparagus soup, steamed pork ribs with rice flour, stir-fried seasonal vegetables, stir-fried goose liver, and two large bowls of thick chicken broth. When Miss Liu Er saw the dishes, she was pleased to see her favorite old duck and asparagus soup, and didn't have many opinions about the other dishes she didn't like.

  Xu Mingjin observed Liu Er's expression and knew she liked the old duck and bamboo shoot soup, so she instructed the maid to bring it over. Since Liu Er was injured on her right arm and found it inconvenient to use her right hand, Xu Mingjin walked over and personally took the soup from the maid, preparing to feed her.

  Miss Liu felt very shy and repeatedly said: "Don't bother you, hurry up and eat, it's okay with the maid taking care of it."

  Xu Mingjin said: "You're injured and I'm somewhat responsible, doing something for you is what should be done."

  Miss Liu said: "I'm glad you have this heart, but if you come to feed me and starve yourself, I'll feel terrible. How about this, I accept your kindness, you hurry up and eat, otherwise, even if you're at ease, I won't be."

  Xu Mingjin heard her say that, and had no choice but to hand the bowl over to the maid, and sat down at the edge of the table, slowly eating the food on the table.

  Miss Liu Er was fed a sip of soup by her maid, saw Yu Zhu still standing beside her, and remembered that it was this maid who had given herself the explosive wound. So she said: "Xu Liu Miss, why not let my maid take your medical-skilled maid down to eat some food too? Don't starve her!"

  Xu Mingjin listened and ordered Yu Zhu to follow Xiaoyan out for dinner, so she didn't need anyone to serve her here.

  Xu Mingjin was really hungry, and the dishes on the table were all home-cooked dishes. The chef of the Anguo Houfu was still very good at it. She ate with relish, and Liu Erniang couldn't help but feel envious. Xu Mingjin saw this and used a public chopstick to pick some for her. The maid fed Liu Erniang, who smiled and ate happily.

  After finishing dinner, Xu Mingjin sat beside Miss Liu Er and chatted with her. At this time, a little maid came running in and said: "Miss Xu Liu, you'd better go out and take a look! Something has happened to your eldest sister!"

  Xu Mingjin was shocked and hastily asked what had happened. The maid replied, "I'm not very clear either, but I know that Miss Xu went to change clothes in the guest room because she accidentally got her clothes dirty during dinner, and then a drunken young master mistakenly entered..."

  Xu Mingjin hastily beckoned to Yu Zhu, bid Liu Erniang farewell and hurriedly followed the maid who had come to report the news.

  As she walked and walked, Xu Mingjin suddenly discovered that this was not the same road she had taken with Madame Anguo when they came.
