Transmigrated into the fat wife of the future prime minister

Chapter 286 People are panicked
After seeing the old lady off, Xu Qingmeng was about to go back to her room when she heard the gatekeeper call out, "Miss Xinting is back!"

Xu Qingmeng and Madam He hurried outside. As soon as they entered the courtyard, they saw Zhou Yuanjia carrying Xinting in. Xinting looked unwell and listless.

"Xinting's back! How are you? Are you alright? Are you hurt anywhere?" Before the crowd even arrived, the questions had already begun.

Xinting was completely listless in Zhou Yuanjia's arms. She tried to say something, but then she felt dizzy and extremely uncomfortable.

Xu Qingmeng had already walked up to her and said worriedly, "What's wrong? Are you dizzy? Should we go see a doctor again?"

"The doctor examined her and said that Xinting should just take a nap and she'll be fine. This kind of dizziness is normal right now," Zhou Yuanjia said.

Xinting had been carried all the way back, and now she was feeling a little better. She said softly, "Auntie, Grandma, I'm fine!"

Looking at Xinting, who was in pain in his arms, Zhou Yuanjia quickly said, "Don't talk, I'll talk. You close your eyes and rest."

"Xinting is fine. She has already taken her medicine. The doctor said she will be better by tomorrow. There were a lot of people at the clinic, so General Pei arranged for someone to send us back."

With Zhou Yuanjia and Xinting's words, Xu Qingmeng and Madam He finally felt relieved. Xinting had been held by Zhou Yuanjia the whole time, but now that they knew she was alright, they quickly made way and took Xinting back.

Zhou Yuanjia took Xu Xinting back to her room and put her on the bed. He fell asleep as soon as he put her down. Even though he knew that Xinting would wake up tomorrow after a good night's sleep, he was still very worried.

Zhou Yuanjia stayed by Xinting's bedside, his eyes never leaving her pale face.

A complex mix of emotions surged within him, from the initial anxiety and panic upon discovering Xinting's disappearance, to the relief and heartache upon finding her, and now to the lingering fear that still haunts him.

Every emotion was like a thread, tightly binding his heart, making it impossible for him to let go. Right now, all he wanted was to marry her as soon as possible and be able to see her every moment.

Xu Qingmeng, however, couldn't sleep. She was worried about Gu Yunyi, Pei Cheng, Fang Ziheng who had gone with Gu Yunyi, and the things she and Gu Yunyi had speculated about.

She was in a daze and didn't know when she fell asleep. When she woke up again, it was Zhizhi's crying that startled her awake.

My mind is a mess. I didn't sleep well, and my head is still foggy and aching.

It was already bright outside, so Xu Qingmeng quickly put on her clothes and picked up Zhizhi.

"Zhizhi, are you hungry? Don't cry, Mommy will hold you."

Xu Qingmeng had just started feeding Zhizhi when she smiled serenely and hummed an unknown tune to coax Zhizhi.

Yesterday was actually the first time Xu Qingmeng had been away from the two little ones for such a long time. Looking at their faces now, she felt a surge of tenderness in her heart.

"Gu..."

The little guy was full and made a sound unconsciously.

"Zhizhi is full, isn't she!" After placing Zhizhi in the cradle, Xu Qingmeng picked up her older brother who was standing next to her.

After the two had finished eating, they called over Granny Jiang to watch over them before pushing open the door and going out.

Yun Sheng and Yun Mo had already woken up and were laughing and playing in the courtyard. Xu Qingmeng saw the two of them and was glad that they hadn't been kidnapped yesterday, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to see them playing like this today.

When Yun Sheng saw Xu Qingmeng, she quickly came forward to greet her: "Sister-in-law."

"Did you sleep well?"

"Yes, sister-in-law, Sister Ting hasn't gotten up yet. Do you want to go see her?" Xu Qingmeng nodded and asked, "Does Yun Sheng want to go with you, sister-in-law?"

"Yes!" Yun Sheng immediately agreed.

Xinting has absolutely no resistance to the two little ones at home. She often cooks delicious food for them and never refuses their requests.

Upon hearing this, Yunmo immediately took off after her, "Sister-in-law, I want to go too..."

Xu Xinting was old, so the drugs she was given were naturally more potent, and she hadn't woken up yet. Zhou Yuanjia stayed by her side all night.

Fortunately, there were no aftereffects after waking up, and everything was normal. Zhou Yuanjia's heart finally settled down, as did Xu Qingmeng's.

Madam He had already had breakfast prepared. Gu Yunyi and Fang Ziheng hadn't returned all night, which worried not only Xu Qingmeng but also Huiniang.

Xu Qingmeng and the others are back now, but we don't know what the situation is like outside. We can only wait and see.

"Young Master Fang and Yun Yi are scholars. I wonder if they can be of any help? They haven't returned all night." After finishing her meal, Madam He began to anxiously wait by the door.

"This was supposed to be the opening of Zhuyunzhai, but now it's been delayed!"

Hui Niang also sighed: "How can there be such heartless and insane people in such a good life!"

The Gu family members were all worried at home, and the outside world was also not peaceful. This Lantern Festival was a time of great anxiety for everyone in the city.

The Li residence is located in the most expensive part of the prefectural city, a place where the city's high-ranking officials and nobles reside. Prefect Kang's residence is also nearby.

However, no one from the Li family holds an official position in the prefectural city. But the patriarch of the Li family was once a first-rank official, but now he is old and has retired to return to the prefectural city.

Grandpa Li only had one son, who passed away two years ago, leaving behind only his grandson, Li Yunxu.

After retiring to his hometown, the old man devoted himself to teaching his grandson and paid no attention to the affairs of the prefectural city. Everyone was also sensible and did not bother the old man. Now, Li Yunxu was among the children who were arrested.

At this moment, in the front hall of the Li family, Lord Kang was restless, pacing back and forth in the hall.

Gu Yunyi sat in a chair, his eyes half-closed, his hand wrapped in a thick bandage, looking very tired. Fang Ziheng wasn't in much better shape either.

I don't know how much time passed before I heard any sounds coming from outside.

Prefect Kang hurried forward: "Doctor, doctor, how are they? How are my wife and child?"

The doctor was covered in sweat, but he knew the person was in a hurry, so he didn't keep them in suspense.

Madam Ling survived, but she sustained numerous wounds while saving her son, some of which nearly caused fatal injuries. She will likely be bedridden for a long time to come.

Given the severity of the lady's injuries, there must be a doctor present in the household from now on; we cannot be careless.

Your son was well protected by your wife and only suffered minor injuries, but he was still frightened, and I'm afraid he'll be...

After hearing the doctor's words, Prefect Kang plopped down in a chair, tears streaming down his face.

"Just stay alive, just stay alive!"

He was filled with remorse. If they had returned from the capital after the Lantern Festival, they would not have suffered this calamity!
