Chapter 941 Preference and Exceptions
Xu was arranged to drink tea in the front room.
"This is the first time that sister-in-law comes to my place. I'm sorry for not welcoming you." Shi Li stepped forward to greet her and glanced at the teacup in Xu's hand, which was about 70% full of tea.
Xu subconsciously put down the teacup, stood up and looked at Shi Li worriedly.
"I wanted to come and see my second brother, otherwise I would always be worried. If you need anything, please tell me."
Shi Lixin said: I have been married to the Cheng family for almost a month, and this is the first time I see you so enthusiastic, but this person will definitely not be able to see anything today.
She had to discuss with Cheng Xi to see how to deal with the situation before she dared to let Xu in.
So she replied with a fake smile: "Thank you for your concern, sister-in-law. My husband has been in a coma since he came back. The doctor said he might not wake up until tomorrow."
After saying this, Shi Li sighed deeply, pretending to be worried and strong.
Xu was a little unwilling to give up. She opened her mouth, but didn't say much under Shi Li's sincere gaze.
"When my husband wakes up, I will send someone to send a letter to my second sister-in-law as soon as possible."
Shi Li rushed to speak again, raising her hand to fill Xu's teacup herself.
Green tea floats in the teacup.
An old Chinese saying goes: Give a full cup of tea as a gift and a full cup of wine as a respect to others.
Mrs. Xu looked at the full teacup, feeling a little embarrassed, and could only stand up and say goodbye.
Shi Li politely escorted her out of the yard, turned around and saw the rhythm of the public screen again.
[Haha, if my Princess Jing were here, how could little Xu dare to act rashly! ]
[Gongsun's status is low, he is not worthy of Emperor Ji at all! ]
[You deserve it, you deserve it! ]
Shi Li shook her head helplessly and walked across the corridor into Cheng Xi's house.
He was indeed asleep at this time, but his vigilance due to years of military service made him open his eyes the moment he heard footsteps. He only breathed a sigh of relief after seeing Shi Li clearly.
Shi Li sat next to him and briefly told him what had happened when Xu came over just now.
"There are many people in the mansion now. Apart from the doctor, I will not let anyone else enter your room these days. I will take care of you."
Shi Li poured another cup of warm water for Cheng Xi to drink and said very seriously.
Taking care of a patient is not an easy task, especially since Cheng Xi was ambushed on the battlefield and stabbed in the back. If he had not dodged quickly, he would have most likely lost his life.
Such serious injuries require extreme caution in this era.
The original owner had no experience in taking care of patients before, but Shi Li got the hang of it quickly. After watching the doctor demonstrate several times, she basically did a good job in daily care.
In order to avoid being spied on by outsiders, she stayed indoors almost from morning to night, and only occasionally spoke a few words to Cheng Danzhu who came to visit her.
During this period, Xu came several more times. Shi Li and Cheng Xi had agreed to be prepared and pretended to be seriously injured to fool her.
Afterwards, Shi Li ran to Cheng's mother and cried bitterly, pretending that she had no medicinal herbs.
If Cheng's mother hadn't known the whole story beforehand, she would have been frightened by her crying.
After everyone inside and outside Cheng's mother's courtyard knew that Shi Li was short of medicinal materials, Shi Li left sobbing. When she returned to Cheng Xi, her eyes were still red.
Cheng Xi was both angry and amused, "Why are you crying so seriously?"
"I was afraid that my performance would be too fake and others would find out, so I put a little more onion powder on my handkerchief."
The two asked and answered each other, and then laughed in tacit understanding.
But after Cheng Xi smiled, he looked at Shi Li's slightly haggard face for a few more times.
The next day, after the doctor came to examine him again, Cheng Xi asked the doctor to take Shi Li's pulse as well.
Unexpectedly, I actually found the problem at this glance.
