Transmigrated into the fat wife of the future prime minister

Chapter 184 I Don't Want You to Die
Xu Qingmeng had just returned last night, and because she had been quite tense lately, she relaxed as soon as she got home and forgot to close the door to the side room.

Yun Sheng had overheard Huang Boyang talking to He Shi earlier, and she had also wanted to wait yesterday, not because the child was too young to stay up all night.

This morning, as soon as I opened my eyes, they slipped in because the door to Xu Qingmeng's room was not closed.

When Yun Sheng entered the room, she saw Gu Yunyi sleeping soundly, and she burst into tears.

"Big...Big brother...Wake up! Don't die...I...I'll be good...I'll be obedient from now on...Wake up! I'll...I'll..."

Xu Qingmeng was startled awake and saw Yun Sheng like this, "..."

Although this scene was quite funny, it was clear that Yun Sheng's crying was genuine.

Yun Sheng was usually mischievous, so when He Shi scolded or beat her, it was all bark and no bite; she would only hear crying but never see any tears.

Xu Qingmeng watched as Yun Sheng's large tears streamed down her face, the little guy's eyes were swollen from crying, and he was still sobbing.

Xu Qingmeng quickly got out of bed and went to her side. "Sheng-jie, don't cry. Your older brother is fine, he's alright..."

"Waaah... Sister-in-law!" Yun Sheng turned around, hugged Xu Qingmeng's leg, and cried even more bitterly.

"Sister-in-law, you're lying to me. I heard...I heard...everything about...Brother...Brother was...was...chopped down...He's definitely not going to make it...Waaaaah..."

Xu Qingmeng looked at Yun Sheng in front of her with a helpless expression.

Even though Gu Yunyi was sleeping soundly, he was woken up by the loud crying. Looking at Xu Qingmeng's helpless expression, he chuckled softly.

Xu Qingmeng turned her head and saw Gu Yunyi chuckling. She glared at him and said, "Yun Sheng, stop crying. Your sister-in-law didn't lie to you. Your older brother is really alright. Look, he's already awake."

Upon hearing this, Yun Sheng, who had been convulsing, stopped sobbing and cautiously turned her head. Seeing that Gu Yunyi had woken up, she released her grip on Xu Qingmeng's leg.
"Big brother, you're really not dead?" Yun Sheng's face was still wet with tears, but her eyes were full of surprise.

Gu Yunyi: "...Really!"

"That's wonderful!" Yun Sheng exclaimed excitedly, gesturing wildly.

Then, angrily, he said, "Hmph, it's all Erdan's fault. They kept saying that Big Brother was dead. I'm going to find them and tell them that they're just talking nonsense."

After Yun Sheng finished speaking, she ran out in a flash.

Xu Qingmeng and Gu Yunyi exchanged a glance. They looked at each other blankly. Children are children; their emotions come and go quickly.

Xu Qingmeng glanced at Gu Yunyi, "Let me help you up."

Gu Yunyi nodded, his face no longer flushed as it had been the night before.

Xu Qingmeng followed the procedure from last night again. After closing the door to the side room, she saw Madam He walk in from outside.

Mrs. He was also carrying a basket containing a lot of vegetables, meat, and an old hen.

Xu Qingmeng looked at Madam He with a puzzled expression and asked, "Mother, how come you have time to go grocery shopping? Isn't the shop open?"

"Yes, we found out yesterday that you were coming back, so we put up a notice that we won't be opening for a while."

Mrs. He then added, "Now that you're back, many neighbors will surely come over, so we'll have to entertain them."

Xu Qingmeng nodded. From what she knew, it was the custom in Quan County that if someone fell seriously ill, neighbors and relatives would come to visit. These exchanges of favors were all recorded, and gifts were to be given in return later.

"How did you know all this?" Xu Qingmeng asked in confusion.

"Of course, what can be hidden in a small county like ours? Besides, Yun Yi is the top scholar, and Zhou Yuanjia also did well in the exam. The results were announced a long time ago. Because of Xun Ge'er, our two families have been under everyone's watchful eye for a long time."

"With such a commotion yesterday, how could we not know?" Madam He sighed.

Speaking of this, Mrs. He looked depressed. She thought it was a great honor for her son to have won the top three prizes, but before she could even celebrate for two days, she heard that the two of them had encountered danger.

Also, I don't know which family is so gossipy; we only brought them home last night, and all sorts of rumors are already circulating this morning.

Some people say that Gu Yunyi and Zhou Yuanjia offended a noble young master in the prefecture, which is why they suffered this calamity.

Some say that a rich girl fell for Zhou Yuanjia, and the young master who was her childhood sweetheart naturally didn't want that, so he tried to kill him, and Gu Yunyi and Xu Qingmeng were implicated.

Of course, some people have rumors that the attack on these people is related to the downfall of County Lieutenant Liu.

Sure enough, the day after they returned, Gu Yunyi became the talk of the town in Quan County, and even Zhou Yuanjia, who was not well-known before, was the subject of much discussion.

Xu Qingmeng was unaware of these things yet. The restaurants were not open today, and the courtyard was quite quiet.

After she got up, she first cooked a bowl of lean meat porridge for Gu Yunyi. Because of her knife wound, Xu Qingmeng simply seasoned it and also steamed an egg custard, which was delicious and nutritious.

After finishing his meal, Gu Yunyi felt tired and rested.

Xu Qingmeng suddenly had some free time, so she sat in the courtyard and chatted with Madam He.

Although they went to the prefectural city, Madam He thought about Xu Qingmeng every day, and since she liked snacks, she bought quite a few.

Mrs. He took out a bag of candied fruit. "This is a new product from a shop we passed by. They said it's made from plums and has a sweet and sour taste. Try it."

Upon hearing this, Xu Qingmeng's eyes lit up. She immediately opened the package, picked one up, and put it in her mouth.

The sweet and sour taste softened Xu Qingmeng's entire demeanor, as if eating a plum was such a blissful thing.

Actually, that's not the case. She was just happy that Mrs. He was thinking of her.

"Mom, you're so kind. You should try some too."

"So mushy! Buying a snack is fine, but is it wrong not to buy anything?" Mrs. He joked.

"No, everything is fine."

"You! Mother doesn't like to eat this, you eat it."

Yun Sheng, sitting to the side, asked curiously, "Sister-in-law, when is our eldest niece coming out?"

Mrs. He laughed and said, "How do you know it's a niece? Could it be a nephew?"

"No, no, my sister-in-law is carrying my niece."
