"Princess, what's wrong?" Hugeshuang'er stepped forward and asked.
Han Chiyan touched her shoulder and shook her head. "N-nothing. Did the old marquis cause trouble today?"
Ever since they tied the old marquis to the inn, he not only didn't escape but also treated Han Chiyan and Hugeshuang'er like his maids. He would send them to buy jianbing guozi one moment and grilled lamb skewers the next, keeping them constantly busy...
Currently, the old marquis was in the next room, sleeping soundly on his belly. He had eaten too much roasted meat and felt a bit full. After he woke up, he would have those two make him some rock sugar pear soup.
"He hasn't caused trouble for now!" Hugeshuang'er said with a gloomy expression, helplessly. "Princess, I heard that Marquis Gu has a good relationship with his father. If you tied up the old marquis, Marquis Gu might not let us off..."
"What, are you scared?" Han Chiyan shot Hugeshuang'er a glare and snorted. "This is called treating someone as they treat you. Who told Marquis Gu to tie up my sister first?"
As soon as she finished speaking, a mournful voice suddenly came from the next room. "Oh, where did everyone go? This old man wants to drink rock sugar pear soup and have another basin of foot-washing water brought. It's so cold outside, how can I not soak my feet?"
Han Chiyan: "..."
Does Your Lordship think you're the Emperor?
We're kidnappers, aren't we? Aren't you afraid at all?
"Shuang'er, go to the next room and see what he wants and try to satisfy him as much as possible..." Han Chiyan instructed.
Hugeshuang'er, looking speechless, shook her head and turned to serve the old man next door.
"Without storybooks, how can this old man live? You don't care about the elderly at all!"
"Oh, gently, gently. Are you patting my back, or are you trying to beat me to death..."
"Don't worry, this old man won't escape. Those people from the Marquis's mansion are dry and boring. It's no fun going back. How about I go to the Northern Frontier with you two for a stroll!"
Hugeshuang'er: "..."
At the same time, in the old Yun family.
After Gu Mingyan settled a series of matters, he set off with Qinglan.
Before leaving, he warned Xiao Jinfeng, "If you dare to lay a hand on Heng'er, this marquis will not spare you!"
Xiao Jinfeng calmly replied, "Does Marquis Gu still have time to worry about such things? If I truly wanted to do anything to His Highness the Crown Prince, could Marquis Gu stop me?"
"This marquis advises you not to mess around!" Gu Mingyan narrowed his eyes. "Even if this marquis is not here, the subordinates left at the old Yun family are enough for you to handle..."
He only brought Qinglan back to the capital this time. All the remaining secret guards were left at the Yun family specifically to ensure Xiao Jinheng's safety.
Xiao Jinfeng didn't bother arguing with him. He waved his hand. "I wish Marquis Gu victory and hope you rescue the old marquis soon. I'm going to find Miss Huaihua to play. Goodbye!"
Gu Mingyan: "..."
The current Prince Ming is truly different from his past self.
Forget it, he wouldn't dare do anything to Heng'er. Saving his father is more important.
After Gu Mingyan and Qinglan left, Jin Xiaolou drove the carriage, pulling Xiao Xitian back to the Yun family...
"It just vomits whatever it eats, and sometimes it rolls on the ground. Could it be suffering from intestinal obstruction?" Old Man Yun squatted by the doghouse, extremely anxious.
Xiao Xitian blinked her big eyes and called out, "Xueling, come out!"
Xueling was a dog she summoned from her space after she transmigrated...
It had been healthy all these years and had never been sick.
Xueling barked twice, poked its big head out of the doghouse, and nuzzled against Xiao Xitian.
The other dogs were also very excited, running and jumping around Xiao Xitian, overjoyed...
"Daddy, what has Xueling been fed these past few days?" Xiao Xitian squeezed Xueling's belly, curious.
If her judgment was correct, Xueling did indeed have intestinal obstruction.
In fact, this disease is medically called parvovirus, a highly contagious and virulent infectious disease, often accompanied by symptoms such as difficulty breathing, heart failure, vomiting, and diarrhea...
Old Man Yun rubbed his hands. "We haven't fed it anything. You know, Xueling usually finds its own food in the mountains. Perhaps it ate something dirty!"
Xueling rested its big head on Xiao Xitian's lap and whimpered incessantly, looking very pained...
"Don't worry, a shot will fix it!" Xiao Xitian patted Xueling's head, then opened her small satchel and took out a bottle of medicine and a syringe.
As soon as they saw the needle, the four dogs, Spade, Diamond, Club, and Heart, ran away without a trace, afraid their little owner would give them an injection.
"Daughter, will this work?" Old Man Yun asked anxiously.
Xiao Xitian's eyes curved into crescents. "Of course, it will work!"
Her space was almost filled with veterinary drugs, specifically for treating large livestock and various animals...
Minor illnesses like a dog's intestinal obstruction were nothing to her.
Just then, Du Tieshan came out to fetch water. Seeing her sister-in-law giving the dog an injection, she came over and asked, "Xitian, you're back!"
"Yes, Sister Shanshan. Xitian has something to tell you later!"
Du Tieshan: "???"
What could she possibly have to say to her?
After dealing with Xueling's situation, Xiao Xitian pulled Du Tieshan to the main hall and called her parents, Yun Erman, and Chu Jiangtun over...
"Daddy, Mommy, Second Brother, Brother Jiangtun, I want Sister Shanshan to manage the snack shop. With fewer people in the family now, Sister Huaihua can handle it alone. If Sister Shanshan manages the snack shop, the family can have more income!"
Xiao Xitian explained crisply to everyone, a dimple appearing on her small face. "Don't worry, all those cheeses, milk candies, and milk tofu are very easy to make. Sister Shanshan is so smart, she'll learn it in a few days..."
Du Tieshan was stunned after hearing this. "Xitian, if you give the snack shop to me, then what will you do?"
Everyone in the Yun family knew that Sweet Baby loved tinkering with dairy products the most. If she suddenly transferred all these things to Du Tieshan, wouldn't she have no livelihood herself?
Xiao Xitian smiled sweetly. "Sister Shanshan, I have a lot of things to do. It's precisely because I can't get away that I'm asking you to manage the snack shop..."
"It's not impossible!" Yun Erman nodded thoughtfully.
When Old Man Yun heard this, he smacked the back of Erman's head. "What do you mean, 'not impossible'? If you had any ability, your sister wouldn't have to work so hard. Day after day, you can't do anything right, and you eat more than you can chew. I'm so exasperated with you, sigh!"
Yun Erman: "..."
