Transmigrated Genius: Fragile Heiress Reigns Supreme-Chapter 455 - 458: The Concubine’s Son (1)

In the next moment, he genuinely felt his legitimate mother let out a long breath of relief: "As long as you’re okay."

He was secretly puzzled and looked closely at her expression, searching for sincerity or pretense on her face. He wanted to distance himself from her as usual, but at this moment, he just didn’t want to move. He wanted to linger for a while...

Xiqiu looked at Young Master Min, watching the rapid change in expressions on his small face. She then showed a look of surprise, touched his forehead, and, after confirming he wasn’t feverish, asked in a low voice: "The Imperial Physician will arrive shortly. If you feel any discomfort, make sure to tell the Imperial Physician."

Young Master Min nodded obediently.

Just as they were speaking, Chunliu came in and reported: "Madam, Young Master Xin is fine. Just a little abrasion on his arm. The Imperial Physician is examining him over there and will come over soon!"

With Young Master Xin fine, Xiqiu also breathed a sigh of relief. She lowered her head and asked Young Master Min: "How did you fall properly? Both you and Young Master Xin got injured. What about Young Master Sheng?"

Young Master Min’s face suddenly fell, showing panic while seemingly suppressing his emotions. He replied, word by word: "It was... I accidentally fell and caused trouble for Young Master Xin." Pausing for a moment, he added, "Young Master Sheng was far away and is fine!"

After speaking, he glanced at Xiqiu, seemingly afraid she wouldn’t believe him, yet anxious for her to believe, hastily saying: "It... it’s true."

He knew Young Master Xin’s status, so this incident could potentially be serious.

Whether it was true or not, Xiqiu could find out, especially since Mr. Song took them to fly kites, and the details should be known to him. With that thought, she glanced at Chunliu, who quietly exited the door.

Without the expected questioning, Xiqiu patted his head and said: "No matter the reason, as long as you’re all okay."

Young Master Min sighed with relief, and the Imperial Physician, carrying a medicine box, just then came in. Xiqiu moved behind the screen, Chunliu came in and reported: "Mr. Song said that Young Master Sheng and Young Master Min’s kite strings got tangled, and Young Master Sheng pushed Young Master Min..."

Xiqiu’s gaze shifted; she looked through the screen at Young Master Min lying on the bed, gritting his teeth while applying medicine, feeling a pang in her heart!

He knew about Young Master Sheng’s mother not being liked by the Grand Dowager, so he intentionally hid the fact that Young Master Sheng pushed him. Yet, since the incident involved Young Master Xin, he was also frightened, which was why he showed such a nervous expression.

A mere four-year-old child contemplating so much.

Xiqiu sighed.

Not long after, the Imperial Physician finished applying the medicine, and speaking through the screen to Xiqiu said: "Madam, the young master’s injury is not serious. He should avoid certain foods and water, and the medicine should be changed every other day." Pausing, he continued: "I will return for a follow-up examination in seven days."

Xiqiu thanked him and asked: "How is it on Young Master Xin’s side?"

The Imperial Physician replied: "Young Master Xin is fine, just need to apply medicine and care for it."

Xiqiu nodded and allowed Chunliu to take the Imperial Physician to rest in another room, knowing that the Grand Dowager might inquire in detail later.

Indeed, outside the courtyard, the anxious voice of the Grand Dowager was heard, and along with the Second Madam’s consoling voice, the two of them went next door.

Xiqiu then picked up Young Master Min and smiled, saying: "Since Young Master Min is alright, shall we go check on Young Master Xin?"

Young Master Min looked at Xiqiu and nodded: "Okay!"

Xiqiu then carried him to the next room.

The Grand Dowager was holding Young Master Xin’s arm, closely inspecting it with concern, saying: "Thankfully, the injury isn’t severe, but if something had happened, how would we manage... From now on, flying kites is not permitted."

Xiqiu entered, still not seeing Young Master Sheng.

She was wondering when Young Master Min whispered in her ear: "Young Master Sheng is in Mr. Song’s room."

Mr. Song must have scolded him, intentionally leaving Young Master Sheng in the room.

"Mother," Xiqiu said, stepping in and looking at the Second Madam: "Second Sister-in-law!"

Second Madam nodded slightly, sitting by and watching Young Master Xin asleep in bed. The Grand Dowager turned and saw Xiqiu holding Young Master Min. Young Master Min, obediently nestled in Xiqiu’s arms, his head wrapped with cloth, with a face pale enough to evoke compassion. The Grand Dowager’s eyes reddened, and she stretched out her hand tenderly: "Come, let Grandmother have a look at Young Master Min."

Xiqiu carried Young Master Min over. After the Grand Dowager carefully inspected Young Master Min’s injury, Xiqiu, worried about her anxiety, comfortingly said: "The Imperial Physician has seen it and said that the injury isn’t deep and just needs careful care. After scabbing, we can apply some scar removal medicine without any issues."

The Grand Dowager nodded slightly and sighed, still uneasy. The Second Madam consoled: "Children often get bumps and scratches, Mother, don’t worry about it." She then looked at Young Master Min and asked: "Does it still hurt, Young Master Min?"

Young Master Min obediently shook his head.

The Grand Dowager then inquired in detail with the Imperial Physician, asked about the situation from Mr. Song at the time, and had people carry the children back on sedan chairs.

Young Master Sheng was somewhat guilty, being much quieter than usual as he followed behind everyone. The Grand Dowager occasionally looked back at him and sighed long and heavily!

Xiqiu didn’t want to blame Young Master Sheng; knowing he understood his mistake was enough. After all, he was only five years old!

As everyone just returned to the Grand Dowager’s room, Ziwei came in and reported: "Grand Dowager, Fifth Madam requests an audience."

The Grand Dowager sneered: "She came rather quickly!" Pausing, she continued: "Tell her that her son is fine and let her return!"

Showing no mercy at all!

Ziwei acknowledged and left. Xiqiu carried Young Master Min into the room, personally bathed and dressed him, and soothed him to sleep before returning.

Watching Xiqiu busying about, the satisfaction in the Grand Dowager’s eyes was evident.

After Xiqiu left in the evening, she spoke with Nanny Wu: "There are too many children staying here, making my head ache all day. Perhaps it would be best to send Young Master Min back."

Nanny Wu was taken aback and asked: "Do you intend for Young Master Min to be raised by the Fourth Madam?"

The Grand Dowager listened and solemnly nodded.

Nanny Wu realized that the Grand Dowager wasn’t truly annoyed or tired, but seeing how the Fourth Madam took care of the children in recent days, her worries had eased. After all, Young Master Min is Fourth Master’s child, and being cared for by them might ultimately be better.

Today, with Young Master Min injured, the Fourth Madam didn’t take the sedan chair but hurried over directly, disregarding the bloodstained gown. The meticulous care made even Nanny Wu feel warmth in her heart. Looking at Young Master Min lying in the Fourth Madam’s arms, though not crying from pain, there was a trace of grievance on his face. He was always understanding, hiding his emotions well, rarely showing any expression besides a smile, even in front of the Grand Dowager. If he hadn’t relaxed his guard against the Fourth Madam, how would such expressions have appeared?

Thinking this through, she heard the Grand Dowager say: "This child is thoughtful. I don’t have the energy to guide him if he stays with me. Maybe going to Xiqiu might be better."

Xiqiu is patient, speaking softly to Young Master Min, Young Master Xin, or Young Master Sheng. Even when the children are rowdy, she can still respond with a smile.
