The Noble Consort is the most favored in the harem

Chapter 123 - Birthday Gift

"I'll have Dong Momo bring some medicine. I'll help you with it. Don't be fooled by my father's age; he's still quite spirited. If he kicked you, you should be careful and get some medicine!"

With Madam Dong's playful remark, the earlier feelings of sadness dissipated.

The couple had been together for many years, sharing a deep bond without any emotional disputes.

Now that they were away from the Prime Minister's residence, their future life would naturally be smooth and comfortable.

Thinking of this, they exchanged smiles.

"In a couple of days, I'll have to return to the Prime Minister's residence for a visit."

"What for? I'll accompany you!"

Master Lin now regarded his wife as more precious than his own eyes.

He was afraid that even the smallest thing might harm her.

But Madam Dong shook her head and said with a light laugh, "I need to go to the palace to see Qian Qian. Even if you come along, you can't enter the palace, remember?"

Master Lin then slapped his forehead.

After all the commotion today, he had almost forgotten this important matter.

"Alright, I'll take you there and come back afterward."

"Good."

The couple had a strong bond, and their respectful, harmonious life naturally passed quickly.

Early the next morning, they went to the main house to pay their respects to Old Master Dong and Old Madam Dong.

In the main house, the three siblings of the Dong family were all present.

There weren't usually many rules in a merchant family, but today was the day the younger sister and her husband came to stay, so both Old Master Dong and Old Master Dong's second son had brought their families along.

"How did you sleep last night? Is there anything you need? Just tell your sister-in-law."

Old Madam Dong, concerned for her daughter and son-in-law, was the first to ask.

"Don't worry, Mother. Sister-in-law has arranged everything very well; we're quite comfortable here."

"Third sister, don't be polite with me. We're family now. You're taking care of Mu Zhi, which must be tiring. If you need anything, just come to me, alright?"

"Don't worry, sister-in-law. I won't be polite with you."

When Dong Jia's sister-in-law first entered the door, Dong Qinzhen had not yet been married.

So the two of them, aunt and sister-in-law, had spent a few months together.

Over the years, whenever she spoke up, sister-in-law Wang never declined.

Thus, their feelings for each other were sincere and heartfelt.

The couple had something to discuss today as well.

"Elder brother, have you found out anything about Qian Qian being poisoned?"

"That's also what I wanted to say. Qian Qian is now a young mistress in the palace, so her case cannot be disclosed. Physician Dou only communicated the situation to me through his son in a roundabout way, and I've shared all the details with our second brother."

As soon as the eldest brother of the Dong family finished speaking, everyone turned to look at the second brother.

His expression, however, was not as tense as the others; instead, he spoke with a hint of certainty.
