A group of people crowded over and served Consort Liu a good wash and grooming session.
Poor Liu Piaopiao pretended to faint, and despite being such a big person, no one helped her up while she lay on the ground.
She was too embarrassed to get up, so she could only close her eyes and lie motionless on the ground like a dead dog.
When the Imperial Concubine finally regained her senses and returned to the main hall, she saw Liu Piaopiao lying motionless on the ground with blood on her lips.
"Hey! What are you all standing there for? Useless things, hurry up and carry him to the bed!"
Suddenly remembering that they couldn't carry it from their own bed, they quickly shouted, "Carry it to the next room! Hurry!"
What a terrible thing!
After lying here for so long, I don't know if this broken body will suffer any problems!
A bunch of useless people.
"Hurry and fetch the imperial physician! Go now!"
Consort Liu was furious!
None of them are easy to deal with.
I was so satisfied when I saw him, but now I feel so disgusted looking at the person lying in bed.
If she weren't worried about how she would explain it to her family, she would have left long ago.
If I had known it was such an unlucky thing, I wouldn't have let anyone come.
I regret it!
My son is about to get married, and there will be bloodshed. This is so unlucky!
The imperial physician rushed over, just as Liu Piaopiao slowly opened her eyes.
She stared intently at Consort Liu, remembering the person she had forgotten on the floor earlier, her eyes darting away slightly.
Forcing himself to remain calm, he put on a fake smile: "Piaopiao, I've called the best imperial physician in the palace to examine your health. You'd better behave."
After saying that, he urged the imperial physician, "Hurry up and take a look at Miss Liu."
The imperial physician felt Liu Piaopiao's pulse for a long time, then gave her a strange look.
This pulse is so strange, sometimes fast and sometimes slow.
However, I learned about the poor girl's general situation on the way here.
He could only mumble, "This... um... Miss Liu, you still need to take good care of yourself! Otherwise... sigh..."
He sighed after saying that.
He shook his head.
Sure enough, as soon as the imperial physician said this, everyone around started to imagine what was going on.
"Poor Miss Piaopiao, she's so young and already suffering from a serious illness!"
"This is too tragic!"
…
Everyone silently pitied her in their hearts.
Consort Liu's face was completely devoid of smiles.
We can't let such a short-lived woman stay in the capital. Since she's already here, we might as well find a remote place to marry her off!
"Piaopiao! Are you feeling better?" Consort Liu asked tentatively.
"Yes, Auntie, I feel much better!" Liu Piaopiao struggled to sit up.
The movements were slow, but fortunately, things went relatively smoothly in the middle.
Although Consort Liu no longer considered her at all, she still planned to make things clear to others as soon as possible.
To avoid her having impure thoughts.
Thinking back to that warmth now, even though he was poor, he was healthy and could have a few more children after she married him.
“Piao Piao, your cousin is getting married soon. This time, it was your cousin who asked for it himself. Your aunt had no choice.”
"Your aunt has prepared a house for you in the capital. Go back and rest well. Come and have a drink with us on your cousin's wedding day. After that, your aunt will find you a husband who loves you the most."
"As for your cousin, don't think about him anymore. Just treat him as an ordinary cousin from now on. Don't have any bad thoughts about him."
You should know what I mean, right?
Consort Liu discovered that once she started speaking, it wasn't actually that difficult to say it.
I'm just an ordinary mother.
I did nothing wrong.
Liu Piaopiao lowered her head, feigning sadness, and covered her mouth with a handkerchief in her left hand, her hoarse voice trembling: "Yes! I understand!"
Consort Liu felt a pang of guilt upon seeing her pitiful state. Oh well, she could always give her more gifts when she got married.
That's all we have!
She forced herself to turn her head and ordered outside, "Someone! Quickly take Miss Liu back to rest. Make sure to take good care of her. If anything happens to her, you will all be executed!"
Liu Piaopiao knew that the other party had already reached her limit, so she didn't say anything more.
Anyway, we've achieved our goal for today.
She patiently bid farewell to Consort Liu, slowly dragging herself away, looking delicate and pitiful.
……
Now only three people remain in the Wen family. Due to the short notice, with only three days left, Wen has instructed Wen Nuan to stay at home and not go out during these three days.
Physician Wen was caught in an awkward situation as he looked at the betrothal gifts at the door.
The family was poor and small, but the Prince of An sent over a lavish betrothal gift the day after he returned home.
Unfortunately, even though my house was already full after it was delivered, there was still no room for it.
"This... Lord Wen, there are still many betrothal gifts to come, what should we do?" This was the first time the official matchmaker who came to deliver the betrothal gifts had encountered such a situation.
Lord Wen's facial injuries hadn't healed yet; he had applied some medicine, but he looked particularly ugly.
To be honest, he didn't have any good solutions either.
In the past, Zhang Shi had been in charge of all the household affairs, but now that Zhang Shi was gone, the newly promoted concubine had no experience at all.
Fearing something might happen, he had her stay in the room with her daughter and not come out.
"Well... I'm ashamed to say, but my humble abode is probably too small to accommodate everyone, and I have no other options. Do you have any good suggestions?" Doctor Wen racked his brains but couldn't come up with any good solutions.
The matchmaker was speechless!
Originally, this was an incredibly simple matter: the betrothal gifts were delivered, some auspicious words were spoken, and then they could leave; if they were lucky, they might even receive a reward.
Who knew that officials could be so poor!
I'm afraid there won't even be any reward money left.
"My lord, we need to find a place to store the betrothal gifts sent by Prince An, right? I wonder if you have any other houses? We can't just have them carried back again, can we?"
You'd better hurry up and find a way to make room! There are people blocking the road behind us!
well!
However, a remark from the matchmaker awakened him.
Yes! How come I didn't think of that?
Anyway, the family won't keep these betrothal gifts sent by Prince An, so let Wen Nuan take them all. We might as well have someone carry them back first. It'll only take two days, so it shouldn't be a big problem.
He had never been involved in matters of the inner quarters of the household, so he figured there wouldn't be much difference.
"Matchmaker, I'm thinking of asking you to take all these betrothal gifts back with you!" Doctor Wen felt he had found a solution and was quite happy.
"Huh??? Lord Wen, what do you mean by that?" The matchmaker was even more distraught than before!
There was no reward money before, but if I bring it back now, won't I be scolded to death?
What kind of ridiculous thing is this? How did I end up running into this?
The more Doctor Wen thought about it, the more feasible it seemed, and he became increasingly excited. His face turned even redder, and the dark medicine on his face made him look even uglier.
"Lord Wen, this is not in accordance with the rules! Since ancient times, the groom's family has always provided the betrothal gifts, which are then taken back with the bride's dowry when she is married. If no one provides betrothal gifts, they are returned! Are you trying to break off the engagement? This is inappropriate!"
The matchmaker was in a real bind. She came all the way to deliver the gifts, but now she couldn't even give them away. What was going on?
