The people behind them, seeing this, burst into laughter, which was rather unkind.
Han Jinghua felt dizzy and disoriented. She struggled to her feet, ignoring the water on her clothes, and rushed to the group of people, anxiously asking, "What did you just say? What do you mean?"
She didn't hear clearly, but she hoped it wasn't true.
This job isn't easy, but at least I can eat. I won't starve. But if something happens to Xiao Nan, how will she, a woman with two children, manage?
"Your man betrayed his country, and you didn't know?"
A lady looked at her with disdain. Han Jinghua thought it was impossible. Lu Xiaonan was the most timid. How could he betray the country?
"Impossible! There must be a mistake from above!"
Upon hearing the news, she was in no mood to continue washing clothes. She hurriedly went to find someone to find out what had happened.
...
"Xue'er, is there any good news?"
Early in the morning, Yunniang sensed that Han Luoxue was in a good mood, with a slight smile on her lips, and she couldn't help but laugh out loud while eating.
"It was Brother Chen who sent me the message."
Han Luoxue smiled, her voice becoming slightly lighter: "He said everything is going smoothly over there, and it should be resolved soon."
"Really?"
Looking at Han Luoxue's prominently protruding belly, Yunniang realized that the Wu family had already arranged for a midwife and even inquired about the wet nurse.
However, Han Luoxue refused to hire a wet nurse; of course, she wanted to breastfeed her own child. Besides, breast milk was the best.
"Yes, I knew my brother Chen was the best."
Han Luoxue proudly raised her chin, and Yunniang quickly nodded in agreement: "Yes, Yuchen is good too."
While she was happy, she was more worried about her daughter.
With Han Yuchen back, Han Luoxue's identity will likely be revealed soon.
She didn’t think her daughter was bad, but her daughter’s status was still a bit low. She wondered if her daughter would be harassed by others.
It quickly became the tenth day since Meng Jiaojiao arrived, and Han Luoxue had already sent someone to inform Master Meng.
Today is the day to see the results. She said it was effective, but didn't specify how many pounds she would lose. But let's see the results...
Looking at Meng Jiaojiao, who had lost a significant amount of weight, Han Luoxue felt a great sense of accomplishment.
She had said at the time that she might not be able to see the effect even if she looked at it every day. But Master Meng had not seen his daughter for ten days, so he would definitely be able to see the difference.
To her surprise, Meng Jiaojiao herself had figured it out.
I weighed myself roughly and found I was 20 pounds lighter than when I first arrived.
Although Meng Jiaojiao still looks quite fat, she is much lighter now.
...
"My lord, I told you that Madam Han is a fraud!"
In the Meng family mansion, Master Meng has been extremely worried these past few days.
His mistress kept talking and talking, which only made him more annoyed.
Ever since my daughter decided to go on a weight loss program with Mrs. Han, I don't know how the news got out, but now everyone in the city knows about it.
Some were curious, while others gloated.
Many people say his daughter is foolish and rich, and that her obesity, which even doctors can't cure, is something a pregnant woman who isn't a doctor could never do.
Mr. Meng trusted his daughter's judgment, but the more she talked about it, the more annoyed he became.
What's even more outrageous is that many people are betting that his daughter has been scammed.
If you can't have peace and quiet outside, you can't have it at home either.
Hearing the young mistress still talking, Master Meng suddenly scolded:
"Okay, shut up."
"My lord, I was just..."
The young lady looked aggrieved. She had been with him for over ten years, but in this man's heart, there was only their daughter, Meng Jiaojiao.
That's too much.
"If you keep nagging, go back to your parents' house."
"Jiaojiao spent her own money, she didn't ask you for any, so why are you so upset?"
"Besides, how old is she? Wouldn't it be better for her to lose some weight? She's going to get married; she can't stay single forever, can she?"
The young mistress sneered inwardly. It wasn't that Meng Jiaojiao was truly unwanted; there were quite a few women willing to marry her because of her generous dowry.
Unfortunately, Master Meng's conditions were too harsh, but who can be blamed for that?
Finally, on the tenth day, someone from the other side came and invited him over.
Upon hearing the news, Master Meng rushed over early in the morning.
He went straight to Han Luoxue's small courtyard. Looking at the courtyard, his eyes twitched almost imperceptibly. This place looked ordinary, but it wasn't something just anyone could afford.
This shows that the lady who helped the woman was no ordinary person.
However, when he saw his daughter, he was still greatly shocked: "Jiaojiao?"
He could hardly believe it; his daughter had lost a lot of weight, but she didn't look haggard at all and seemed to be in good spirits.
"Father, do you think I've lost weight?"
Seeing her father approaching, Meng Jiaojiao happily ran over, stopping when she was still a step or so away from him and turning around in front of him.
Seeing his daughter's stool, Mr. Meng was extremely excited: "She's lost weight, quite a lot of weight!"
"Hehe, I felt that too. Mrs. Han said that as long as I stay here longer, I can get as thin as them."
Only then did Master Meng notice the people standing behind him. The one in the lead was quite pregnant; this must be Madam Han.
He stepped forward to thank her politely, but Han Luoxue just smiled and said, "It's all what I should do."
She's the kind of person who takes money and then expects to do something in return; she's not the kind of person who just takes money and doesn't deliver.
They invited the people inside, and after exchanging a few pleasantries, Master Meng was once again shocked to learn that Han Luoxue had also built a mountain villa in Le'an Town.
"You're saying that Le'an Town is all your fiefdom?"
Good heavens, what kind of person did his daughter know? She's actually a county princess.
"right!"
“There’s a mountain over there, just east of Le’an Town. There seems to be something inside. If Your Highness has time, you could send someone over to investigate.”
Master Meng was extremely grateful to Han Luoxue, so he gave her face and offered a reminder.
She had never been to the eastern mountains where snow fell; when she came, she mainly considered the western side because hot springs had appeared there.
Upon hearing Master Meng's reminder, Han Luoxue kept it in mind.
"What could it be, sister?"
Han Luoyu blinked curiously. For them, there weren't many things she could remember. The scariest thing in the mountains was the presence of wild beasts, but her sister knew tigers, and those tiger cubs had played with her a lot when she was little, so it wasn't anything surprising.
"I just find it strange. I have a feeling that there should be something in the ground, but I don't know what it is."
What's in the field? The group became even more curious, and finally, they hitched up two carts and decided to go together.
The last time they were framed, the matter was ultimately dropped. The Prefect of the Capital was determined to deal with it severely, but who could have imagined that the three people would die of poisoning that very night?
