Chapter 31 Pregnancy Medication
In the Yujin Hall, Bai Lu was conveying a message to Madam Yue.
"The Third Master had a social event last night, and the guests kept pestering him, so he drank two more glasses of wine. He is fine this morning, had breakfast, and is now asleep again. However, the Third Madam is still worried and is taking care of the Third Master herself, so she asked me to come over to see if Madam has any instructions. If not, I will come to pay my respects to Madam in person in the evening."
This statement is absolutely flawless.
But it would be strange if Mrs. Yue could believe it.
But whether she believed it or not, she couldn't run to Wutong Garden, kick open the main door, and draw aside the curtains to take a look.
After a month or two of this, she watched her son protect his daughter-in-law like she was protecting his own eyes, and finally realized...
He insisted on marrying Chen Tang, not because he was angry with her.
He really likes her.
Seeing Bai Lu coming over in person and making up a lot of lies, Mrs. Yue sighed softly.
"Well, if they had a child earlier, it would have fulfilled one of my wishes."
As soon as Bai Lu was sent away, Madam Yue called over Nanny Sun.
"Go to the kitchen and make Jing'er a bowl of hangover soup... Oh, add another bowl..."
Wutong Garden.
It was almost noon when Qi Huaijing and Shen Tang got out of bed. The maids had just served lunch when Nanny Sun came over.
She was followed by a maid holding a silver-lined rosewood carved food box.
Qi Huaijing frowned, wondering what his own mother was up to again.
Nanny Sun smiled and coaxed her son just like she was coaxing Madam Yue.
"Madam heard that Third Master got drunk yesterday. She was afraid that the alcohol would harm his health, so she asked Third Master to drink some hangover soup before going out today to relax. This motherly act is naturally for Third Master's own good!"
After a rough night last night, I’ve sobered up a long time ago... Well, it’s a good intention.
Qi Huaijing raised his hand, and Nanny Sun immediately asked the maid to bring up the hangover soup and place it in front of the Third Master.
Just as she put it down, the maid brought out another bowl of soup and placed it in front of Shen Tang.
Qi Huaijing frowned again.
"She's not drunk, she doesn't need to drink."
Nanny Sun still had a smile on her face.
"Third Master, this bowl is not a hangover soup. It is a tonic given by the Madam to Third Madam."
Qi Huaijing glanced at her, sneered, picked up the hangover soup in front of him and drank it all in one gulp.
Seeing that he drank without saying anything, Chen Tang was hesitating whether to drink his own bowl...
Qi Huaijing reached out, picked up her bowl, and drank it all in one gulp.
Nanny Sun exclaimed immediately.
"Third Master!"
Shen Tang's eyes widened as well.
"Husband?"
Qi Huaijing put down the bowl and frowned.
“It tastes terrible!”
Nanny Sun was so panicked that she didn't know what to do and immediately told the truth.
"This, this, this... This is a medicine for women to drink to maintain pregnancy!"
Qi Huaijing raised his eyebrows, somewhat surprised.
"oh?"
His mother has been worried a lot these days.
When Chen Tang heard what Nanny Sun said, he lowered his head unconsciously and his face turned red.
The noise those two made yesterday...was it that big?
Qi Huaijing threw down the soup bowl, leaned back on the couch, and spoke in a leisurely tone.
"Tell my wife a word. If she has nothing to do and wants to send me soup, she can do so. I will drink whatever it is."
He drank them all, including the medicine for pregnancy.
When Mrs. Yue heard this, she was so angry that she felt like a Buddha was born and two Buddhas ascended to heaven.
This evil creature!
It’s not okay to be mean to his wife, and it’s not okay to be nice to his wife. What on earth does he want!
Qi Huaijing wants her, don't worry.
From childhood to adulthood, he has said this countless times and they have had countless arguments, but Mrs. Yue just doesn't understand this truth.
On that day, Qi Huaijing drank two bowls of soup in a row, so he had a poor appetite and couldn't eat raw food, so he didn't go out for the whole day.
Chen Tang stayed with him at home for the whole afternoon, and the two of them played around, but she always felt that something was wrong.
What's wrong?
I can’t remember it at the moment.
The next day, when she was writing the lunch menu, she casually added the word "crab" and suddenly remembered something was wrong.
Mrs. Yue’s news came too quickly!
Qi Huaijing had just asked the kitchen to add a steamed crab dish, and Mrs. Yue immediately had a few new dishes delivered.
The couple had just had a ridiculous amount of drinking, and the next day Nanny Sun brought them some sobering soup... and pregnancy-maintaining medicine!
She must have gotten the news.
Therefore, Chen Tang ordered someone to add a pot of Jinhua wine during lunch that day.
Qi Huaijing was a little surprised to see that there was wine at lunch.
"Didn't you say that we are not allowed to drink alcohol these days?"
Chen Tang smiled slightly. Of course he was not allowed to drink... The drunk Third Master Qi was really too difficult to deal with!
"Don't drink it, and leave it here. I can use it."
Sure enough, before we finished our lunch, the appetizers and hangover soup were delivered almost at the same time.
Shen Tang sighed.
"Sanlang, you have Madam's eyes and ears in the courtyard."
Qi Huaijing looked at the bowl of sobering soup, frowned and thought hard.
"I didn't even notice it... Never mind, I won't go out this afternoon and find the person..."
Shen Tang waved his hand.
"Go do your thing, leave this to me."
Qi Huaijing raised his eyebrows.
"you?"
Chen Tang smiled slightly, thinking, he always scolds others for looking down on others, but in fact he is also...
"Of course it's me. This is your yard, and it's also my yard, isn't it?"
Qi Huaijing laughed.
"I underestimated you, my lady. You are so powerful. Well, come on. If you find out, don't go to my wife and make a scene. Just tell me..."
Shen Tang pushed him out.
"Just go out, go out, go out, you're so nagging."
Although Qi Huaijing was domineering in front of his servants, he was very generous. In addition to the public share of the monthly salary for the courtyard, he paid an additional portion with his own money.
If there were extra tasks or rewards, he would never treat his subordinates unfairly, and the rewards were very generous.
Because of this, the traitor who tipped off Mrs. Yue is particularly hateful.
Chen Tang sent Qi Huaijing out and thought about it carefully.
There were originally four big maids serving in the house and four small maids working in the yard in Wutong Garden.
The couple ordered wine at noon but did not drink it. The maids serving in the room were watching them.
But Madam Yue still brought the sobering soup, which proved that the traitor did not enter the room, and it should be one of the four maids.
Chen Tang called four maids one by one and told them to pass a message to the servant outside the second gate.
The third master felt a little cold, so he went to the drugstore to buy some ephedra and cinnamon twigs to dispel wind and cold and boiled them in water to drink.
The third master wanted to make new clothes, so he went to the street to find a clever and skillful tailor.
Uncle San wanted to eat fresh seasonal water chestnuts, and he wanted the ones that were just picked and tender, so he went to the water chestnut pond to buy them.
The third master's stirrups are old, so he needs to find an experienced and steady blacksmith to make two new pairs of stirrups.
…
Before dinner, Chen Tang looked at the pieces of satin that Yu Jintang had sent to the Third Master to make new clothes, and smiled without saying a word.
Very good, let’s leave the rest to our little overlord.
