Concubine Xi's words immediately ignited hope in Madam Fu's heart.
"Your Highness the Concubine is truly kind-hearted. Everyone in our General's Mansion will do our best to thank you for your help."
Concubine Xi likes it most when people praise her like this, and she can't hide the smile on her lips.
"Oh, you don't have to keep thanking me. It's the Queen who has been thinking about your General's Mansion. She said that we were old friends and wanted me to come and visit."
When Madam Fu heard this, she was stunned. Their general's mansion had no connection with the queen.
But she recently heard that the Queen and Shen Yuerong were not on good terms.
Could it be that the Queen wants to deal with Shen Yuerong?
At that moment, Madam Fu's eyes became brighter.
Then she let out a long sigh, causing Concubine Xi to ask out of curiosity.
"Why are you still sighing?"
Old Madam Fu looked through the screen at Concubine Xi who was sitting outside in the sun, her eyes growing colder.
She pinched herself hard and answered with tears in her voice.
"It's really embarrassing to say that I'm an old woman who has lived for decades and worked hard for my children all my life, but in the end my son married a daughter-in-law who is about to turn our general's mansion upside down."
"Although it was a bit ugly at the beginning, we are still acquaintances after all. I am really disappointed that you didn't even come to see me."
After she finished speaking, she began to sob.
Concubine Xi hated to see people cry, but she had no idea who Madam Fu was talking about.
She could only keep comforting him.
"Don't be sad, elder sister. Good things are coming. Take care of your health first."
Mrs. Fu cursed in her heart as her mouth twitched across the screen.
I was talking about Shen Yuerong, why didn't she react at all?
She never expected that Concubine Xi hadn’t guessed it was Shen Yuerong.
There was no way. The old lady couldn't directly tell who it was, so she could only keep reminding Concubine Xi.
But Concubine Xi was so simple-minded that she didn't realize that the old lady was talking about Shen Yuerong.
Old Madam Fu was talking until her mouth was dry and she became more and more dissatisfied with Concubine Xi.
I don't know if she is pretending or it's real? I have said so much, but he still doesn't say anything to me.
Finally, Madam Fu couldn't bear it any longer and lay on the bed crying.
"My Lady Dowager, I am really heartbroken. I am so sick, but Shen Yuerong has never even come to see me."
When she said this, she felt extremely nervous, fearing that Concubine Xi would be angry.
Unexpectedly, Concubine Xi was not only not angry, but also looked indignant.
"You're right. It's so chilling. After all, we were once a family, but he didn't even come to see me."
"Don't worry, I will do justice for you and will ask her to visit you another day."
After hearing what Concubine Xi said, Old Madam Fu smiled happily, but her throat was a little hoarse.
Shen Yuerong had no idea what was happening in the general's mansion.
Because at this moment she was treating the people.
Her slender fingers rested on the wrist of an old woman, who was very fat and had dark circles under her eyes.
But according to her, she had not eaten for a long time and usually only took two bites and could not eat anymore.
Despite this, she still grew to be as fat as she is now.
Shen Yuerong's eyes swept over her body, and she saw that her skin was dark, and the back of her neck was even darker, and she even had black hair.
Then Shen Yuerong wrote a prescription and handed it to the other party.
"Take the prescription and go get the medicine. Come back after you get the medicine. I'll give you acupuncture. Then come back for three days. After you go back, just take the medicine for half a month."
The woman looked at the list in her hand and did not leave immediately. Instead, she looked around and stared at Shen Yuerong and asked.
"I want to ask what is the cause of this disease? If someone around me also has this disease, could it be poisoning?"
Shen Yuerong pursed her lips slightly and asked cautiously.
"I don't know if the person you're talking about is related to you by blood. If not, it could be that the things you come into contact with around you are the cause of your obesity."
The woman swallowed nervously, took something out of her sleeve and handed it to Shen Yuerong.
"My Lady Princess, I tell you this because I trust you."
"This is the kind of incense I often touch. I light it every time. After smelling it, my whole body feels slightly hot, but I don't have any other symptoms."
Shen Yuerong took the thing and opened it, then put the powder to the tip of her nose and sniffed it, then her expression became extremely serious.
“This scent is wrong.”
The woman was suddenly horrified and covered her mouth to prevent herself from screaming.
After a long while, she murmured, "King, Princess, can you find a way to save my wife..."
Shen Yuerong caught the word "Madam" and hurriedly asked.
"Who is the lady you are talking about?"
The woman's expression suddenly changed, her eyes swept around vigilantly, and she asked cautiously.
"I wonder if I could go up to the second floor and explain the situation?"
Shen Yuerong had a vague guess about something, but did not ask any further questions. Instead, she asked Qinghua to treat the patients first, and she took the woman to the second floor.
The second floor is more secluded than the first floor. You can see everything around you clearly at a glance, and it is obvious that there is no one else there.
As soon as the lady went up to the second floor, she knelt down in front of Shen Yuerong and made a tearful request.
"My Lady Princess, please save my wife. She must have been poisoned by that little bitch and she wants to kill her."
Shen Yuerong hurriedly reached out to support him and asked solemnly.
"I wonder which family your wife belongs to?"
"Don't worry, I will do my best to save you."
After hearing Shen Yuerong's words, the woman stood up and talked about what happened between herself and the lady.
The woman's name was Wanjun. She was a maid who came with the prime minister's wife as a dowry. At the time, the prime minister was just a poor scholar, and his daughter married the prime minister and helped him rise to the position of prime minister.
His wife has worked so hard all the way that she has become an old woman with an uglier face, while the prime minister, who is now middle-aged, has many concubines and has more than a dozen mistresses in his mansion.
The most favored concubine among them was named Yimeng, who was born in a brothel and was charming and scheming.
Now that he has two sons and a daughter, he can no longer hide his ambition and frequently attacks his wife.
This year, Yimeng was particularly honest and did not cause any more trouble. Wanjun originally thought that the other party had given up.
Unexpectedly, in just half a year, her wife became extremely fat. The prime minister was disgusted after seeing her once and never set foot in the courtyard again.
As a result, she also gained weight.
Wanjun found something wrong and secretly investigated, and found that the incense lit in the room was purchased by Yimeng's cousin, who is also the housekeeper.
That's why she brought the incense to Shen Yuerong for inspection.
After listening to Wanjun's description, Shen Yuerong's expression suddenly darkened.
