Qiao Xi turned around and saw him taking off his coat and putting it aside, then walked in.

He did not walk over to her side, but instead drank a cup of warm water and waited for the chill in his body to gradually dissipate before sitting next to her. Looking at the pile of medicinal herbs on the coffee table in front of him, he said, "Is this for Zhong Yi?"

"Well, he hurt his foundation."

Qiao Xi's face was solemn.

Zhong Yi has damaged her foundation at such a young age. If she doesn't take good care of it, it may be even harder to bear when she is older. However, this maintenance is not up to her alone, and the patient needs to cooperate with her.

Don’t be fooled by Zhong Yi’s seemingly nice words, he is actually not an obedient person.

Sun Weimeng chimed in, "Not only that, he's also blind. Qiao Xi just wanted to ask you if you could take him home to nurse him back to health after he's discharged from the hospital?"

Qiao Xi wanted to think about it again before telling Huo Xingzhou, but she didn't expect Sun Weimeng to speak so quickly.

Now that she had said it, she would not be pretentious anymore.

"I do have this idea, but the Huo family belongs to you and me. So I need to ask for your opinion. It's okay if you feel it's inconvenient. You don't have to consider my feelings and accommodate me."

Qiao Xi didn't want Zhong Yi's intervention to cause Huo Xingzhou to feel resentful.

Huo Xingzhou's face was indifferent, and his tone was casual: "It's okay, let him stay here. You can rest assured that he will be cured."

So magnanimous?

Sun Weimeng couldn't help but widen his eyes. Is this still Huo Xingzhou?

In the past, he would get jealous whenever Qiao Xi mentioned the name Zhong Yi.

Now he is willing to let his love rivals live with him and live with them.

Huo Xingzhou has changed.

Qiao Xi was also a little stunned, then a smile appeared in her eyes: "Okay, then clean up the room on the first floor for them to live in. He is blind, so it is not convenient for him to go up and down the stairs."

"Well, I'll let Sun Weimeng clean it up."

"Why should I clean up?" Sun Weimeng, a young master, had never done anything like making beds or cleaning. "Where's Xiaoyuan?"

When Huo Xingzhou heard him mention Xiao Yuan, his eyes dimmed slightly: "She is in charge of the food there recently. I asked Aunt Qian to come over from Haicheng today."

"Aunt Qian is coming?" Qiao Xi's face suddenly showed joy.

Aunt Qian was the first person she met at the Huo family, and she was very kind to her.

After Qiao Xi came to the imperial capital, she missed Aunt Qian very much, as well as her nagging warmth. No matter how delicious Xiao Yuan's cooking was, it lacked the taste of home. But she was afraid that Aunt Qian would have trouble traveling due to her old age, so she never mentioned it.

I originally thought that I would be able to return to Haicheng soon, but I didn't expect that Zhongyi would encounter such a thing.

Aunt Qian is coming, that’s really good news.

Even Sun Weimeng couldn't help but cheer, "I miss Aunt Qian's cooking so much! When will she arrive?"

"It's outside. Lao Chen will help with the luggage."

The words just fell.

Sun Weimeng ran out at the speed of wind, saying in a flattering tone: "Aunt Qian!"

"Aunt Qian, let me help you get your things!"

Qiao Xi quickened her pace and walked out quickly, the eagerness in her eyes could not be faked.

The two of them ignored Huo Xingzhou.

"Young lady!"

Aunt Qian dropped all her bags on the ground. When she saw Qiao Xi coming out, she quickly supported her and said, "Young Madam, please be careful when you walk. The road outside is slippery and you must not fall."

Aunt Qian's eyes were filled with tears. She finally came to the imperial capital!

"Young Madam, you have lost weight! It is obvious that life in the imperial capital is not easy. Aunt Qian will make sure you eat enough to gain weight." She pulled Qiao Xi and looked at her again and again, her eyes falling on Qiao Xi's belly again.

It’s just a three-month-old belly, even if it’s twins, you can’t see anything.

"Oh, Madam, the food in the imperial capital must not suit your taste. I will cook authentic Haicheng dishes for you in the evening, and I will make sure you enjoy your meal." Her first priority in coming to the imperial capital was to feed the fat Madam!

Sun Weimeng squeezed over and said, "Aunt Qian, do you think I have lost weight?"

Aunt Qian nodded: "She's already lost weight! Aunt Qian has to cook for her! Xiaoyuan is young and her cooking skills are not as good as mine. She doesn't know your taste either."

As soon as Aunt Qian arrived, she wanted to take the chef's seat, and she couldn't let the little girl take it away.

Qiao Xi took her arm and said affectionately, "I like Aunt Qian's cooking. It always tastes like my hometown. Every time I feel hungry, I always hope that Aunt Qian can come to the capital. I didn't expect that she would really come. You must have been tired from the journey. Let's go in and rest for a while."

"That won't do. I still have so many treasures to pack up."

Aunt Qian looked at the full trunk and said, "These are supplements. These are the pickles I made, and some are handmade seasonings. The seasonings sold outside are not so clean, and these pickles have very little salt. And the green leafy vegetables here are all picked from my own small vegetable garden. These are wild delicacies, and pregnant women cannot eat those with additives."

She was very thoughtful.

"And here is the baby's swaddle. I sewed it myself using some patchwork fabric I found back home."

"These are special products brought to my friends in the capital. Madam, you must have made quite a few friends in the capital after being here for so long. They can be given as gifts, and..."

I can’t even count the things Aunt Qian brought.

The hundred-family quilt made Qiao Xi's eyes tear up. Each strip of cloth was begged from every family, and was sewed so beautifully by Aunt Qian.

Qiao Xi choked up and said, "Aunt Qian, you are so kind."

"Oh, if I don't treat you well, who can I treat well? Madam, you must take good care of yourself and give birth to the two babies in your belly safely. From now on, I will take care of the children for you."

"Let's go back to the house first."

"Yes, yes! We can't let our young lady get cold."

Aunt Qian was about to leave with two jars, but Sun Weimeng took them over with a tactful look: "Aunt Qian, I'll do it! You go in and talk to Qiao Xi first, we will move all these things."

"Then I'll trouble you, Young Master Sun."

Aunt Qian walked Qiao Xi in with a smile on her face. As they walked, she asked her how many weeks she was pregnant, whether she had morning sickness, whether her taste had changed, and whether she should avoid certain foods.

This feeling made Qiao Xi feel warm and at peace, and she felt as if she had a backbone.

Aunt Qian is just like a mother.

Her kindness is always without purpose.

"Aunt Qian, I'm fine. It's even better to see you."

Qiao Xi poured her a glass of water and asked her to sit on the sofa.

The smile on Aunt Qian's face never diminished. She looked at Qiao Xi, then at Huo Xingzhou who was sitting next to her, and couldn't help but nodded.

Everyone is good!

She just looks a little thinner. She has to ask Xiaoyuan what she does every day. How could she become so thin in the middle of winter?

"Master, where is Xiaoyuan?" Aunt Qian looked around but didn't see the child.

Huo Xingzhou put down the cup and said in a cold tone, "He was arrested."

Caught...caught?

Qiao Xi was so shocked that she almost thought she was hallucinating. Didn’t she say she was going to cook somewhere else?
