Chapter 940 Preference and Exceptions
Cheng Xi looked at Shi Li with a hint of surprise in his eyes. He never expected that she would have thought about the medicinal materials first. Then he moved his lips slightly.
"Okay, thank you for your hard work."
"What you need to do now is to take good care of your body. You can think about other things after you have fully recovered."
Shi Li spoke sincerely, and poured a cup of warm water for Cheng Xi, "Don't drink tea at this time. Don't move. I'll feed you some water."
Cheng Xi had followed his father in battles since he was a child, and this was not the first time he had been injured. Cheng's mother had always been accustomed to letting her children run free, so this was the first time that Cheng Xi had received such careful care.
As Cheng Xi drank half a cup of warm water from Shi Li's hand, more and more ripples of emotion arose in his heart.
The love between a young couple is like the tiny grass sprouts in early spring, which grow into lush and green without them realizing it.
After taking care of Cheng Xi and making him fall asleep again, Shi Li walked out of the room, looked at the blue sky outside and breathed a sigh of relief.
Then, as if remembering something, she took out the necklace hanging around her neck.
Under the necklace was not an ordinary pendant, but a small key, which was the key to her own private vault.
I don't feel safe handing the key to anyone else, even if I keep it in the room. There are many people in the Cheng Mansion and many eyes are watching. I can only feel at ease if I keep it close to me.
After standing there for a while, Shi Li called the maid who came with her dowry to her side and told her to go outside to buy medicine again and try to appear more urgent.
The maidservant left as ordered and did not return until sunset.
After seeing Shi Li, he said excitedly: "Madam is so good at predicting things. The herbs that the young master needs are not available on the market now. I went to many pharmacies."
Getting this unsurprising result, Shi Li nodded slightly.
It's not that she can predict everything, but she has read a lot of books in the past and has thought of all the bad possibilities in advance.
I thought it was a good idea to be prepared, but I didn't expect to use it so soon.
Many Confucian scholars in later generations criticized Cheng Xi for using any means necessary to seize the throne. Who knows how many sinister plots he had encountered? The road to establishing a dynasty has never been peaceful.
Gathering the hair around her ears, Shi Li felt that she had a lot of emotions today. She was about to go and see how Cheng Xi was doing, when she saw a little girl peeking in from the outside of the door.
"Zhuzhu, come here." Shi Li couldn't help but smile and waved to the little girl.
Although Cheng Danzhu is extremely beautiful, she is actually innocent and cute. Upon hearing what was said, she immediately walked happily to Shi Li's side. Relying on the fact that there were no outsiders around, she held Shi Li's hand with a worried look on her face.
"Lili, how is my second brother? Is he seriously injured?"
Although they are brothers from the same mother, Cheng Danzhu is much closer to Cheng Xi than Cheng Yu.
"It's okay. Take medicine every day and you will get better slowly." Shi Li touched Cheng Danzhu's head and comforted him softly.
Cheng Danzhu blinked, looked around, and then leaned close to Shi Li's ear.
"I just heard someone say that someone around Lili went out to buy medicine but failed. I have some herbs in my room. I will quietly send them to you tomorrow."
Shi Li was slightly stunned.
But on second thought, given the Cheng family's genes, it seemed normal for Cheng Danzhu to be smart, so he smiled and thanked her for her kindness and did not refuse.
It’s not that she doesn’t trust Cheng Danzhu, but she doesn’t want others to find out.
"Then I'll bring the embroidered basket over tomorrow at noon and put the herbs in the basket." Seeing that he could help, Cheng Danzhu's solemn expression faded and he finally showed a little smile.
Shi Li agreed with a smile and talked to Cheng Danzhu for a while.
The little girl was really sensible. She didn't even mention going to visit Cheng Xi. She just asked and then left.
But before she could leave, the maid came in first, "Madam, the eldest young lady is here, and she wants to visit the second young master."
It was such a coincidence that Xu came. She was usually not so diligent in paying respects to her mother-in-law.
Shi Li and Cheng Danzhu looked at each other, and Cheng Danzhu couldn't help but snorted.
"You go back first, I'll go entertain her."
Shi Li couldn't do what Cheng Danzhu did, so she could only straighten her sleeves and go out to fight with Xu.
