Chapter 319 Mr. Chen is here
Granny Yu was crushing the herbs in the paper bag with her veiny hands as she said, "Although these herbs have been dried and processed, it's obvious that they weren't handled by the Yaoxian Hall."
"Look, this pinellia isn't completely dried yet, and the slices of angelica are all so neat and uniform in size."
"The people at Yaoxiantang have to process hundreds of medicinal herbs every day, all with the goal of maximizing their effectiveness. It's impossible for them to be so particular."
"Who sent this medicine?" she asked.
"It's Baoya and Yunyue." Qianqiong said, suddenly remembering something, "Oh, Baoya said it was her brother Jing who asked her to bring them here."
"Brother Jing..."
scene……
"Well," Grandma Yu nodded, "Please accept the medicine. If Baoya brings medicine again in the future, just accept it."
After she finished speaking, she stuffed the medicine bag into Qianqiong's hand and turned to leave.
It seems that it really is that child. It's hard for him to put so much effort into it.
Grandma Yu smiled helplessly. If she didn't accept the medicine, the child would probably be worried.
…
On the other side, in a room in the backyard of Yaoxian Hall, Liu Rumei has not been living comfortably these days.
At this moment, she was sitting on a chair, supporting her huge belly with her left hand, holding a brush in her right hand, trying hard to look focused.
Not far from her, an old woman in her sixties, dressed neatly and simply, with her hair neatly tied up, was holding a feather duster in one hand and resting the other on her leg, talking nonstop.
"As a human being, one must be virtuous and have good character, isn't that right, young lady?"
"Considering that I'm several decades older than you, I must have much more life experience than you. You look so gentle and docile, but your heart must match your appearance."
"Don't do such scheming, dirty things! Otherwise, I tell you, you'll be struck by lightning!"
As she spoke, she suddenly leaned forward and her voice became louder.
Liu Rumei was so frightened that she stopped writing.
The old woman took a feather duster and waved it at her face, but didn't hit her. It made her nose itchy, and she sneezed, which made her stomach hurt. She immediately came to her senses.
Liu Rumei turned her head and looked at the old woman with tears in her eyes: "Sun...Mrs. Sun..."
The old woman swung her feather duster and frowned, "Madam Sun? Remember this! I'm sharing my life's experience with you now. You must remember it well!"
"Yes, yes. I... I'll write it down right away." Liu Rumei sniffed and slowly picked up the pen to write on the rice paper.
The old woman continued, "Our Great Kang Kingdom is very particular about rules and etiquette. You can't commit crimes against your superiors or bully the wife. Otherwise... you'll bleed from all seven orifices, get sores all over your hands, and pustules will form on your face!"
"I remember there was a little devil in the town next door who was unfaithful to his wife and bullied the wife. He ran out of the house with festering wounds all over his body and was struck to death by lightning!"
Another high note scared Liu Rumei so much that she shuddered.
Although she knew that the old woman was trying to scare her, for some reason, her hand holding the pen kept shaking and a layer of cold sweat appeared on her back.
Just as she was lost in thought, she heard the old woman's stern rebuke: "Hurry up and write! I'm doing this for your own good. You're going to be a mother, and if you don't learn the principles of life, you'll end up hurting your child!"
Qiuyu, who was standing next to Liu Rumei and grinding ink for her, was extremely angry.
This awful old woman must have done this on purpose! She didn't want to bring bad luck to her concubine!
I'm afraid these words are specifically said to my aunt. It must be hard for my aunt. At such an advanced stage of pregnancy, she still has to sit here and listen to her lectures!
But there was nothing they could do. The old woman was sent by Doctor Sun to accompany them to "chat and relieve boredom." Now they were on someone else's territory, and they couldn't drive the lady out, so they had to endure it.
"A beautiful person must also have a kind heart, otherwise..."
The old woman kept chattering, and Liu Rumei's hair was about to explode.
She could no longer bear it, she clenched the pen so tightly that she bit her lips.
"Mrs. Sun... stop for a moment, I... my stomach hurts!" She had tears in her eyes and acted pitifully.
"Why, you've only been sitting here for less than an hour. I saw you were quite spirited when you were being aggressive on the street the other day."
The old woman took a sip of tea, seemingly disappointed. "Never mind, I'm tired, so I'll go back. You should tidy up yourself. Remember today, I'll come check tomorrow."
After saying that, he patted his butt, stood up and left.
The door slammed shut, and Qiuyu suddenly got angry.
"Who the hell does she think she is? How dare she bully you like this! When we were in the Chen residence, even the old housekeeper didn't dare to look at you like this!"
"Forget it," Liu Rumei held her belly with one hand and supported the table with the other, standing up from her chair. "It's just a matter of a few days, just bear with it. We must not ruin our plan."
"But Auntie, why is Madam Sun coming to Yaoxiantang for no reason? I heard from the people in town that old man Sun Pu is very afraid of his wife and would never let that old woman come to Yaoxiantang for no reason."
"Maybe it was those little girls who did this. They wanted to bring bad luck to me."
Liu Rumei took out a handkerchief and wiped her ink-stained fingertips. "They are just a few little girls, nothing special."
Glancing at the sky outside, Liu Rumei let out a long sigh, "Qiuyu, go out and prepare the medicine. We're still short of two more herbs, and the prescription will be complete."
"The sooner we have everything ready, the sooner we can execute the operation and leave here so we don't get tortured by that old woman."
"You are right, Auntie. I will go right away," Qiuyu responded cheerfully. "Auntie, please go to bed and have a rest."
"I'm so tired," Liu Rumei stretched her wrists and slowly walked to the couch to lie down. "You go and come back soon. I'll take a nap."
Qiuyu covered her with the quilt and turned to leave.
Now, that old man Sun Pu didn't watch over them so strictly anymore. He just used the excuse that Liu Rumei was pregnant and didn't let her go out.
But if she said she wanted to go to the street to buy something for her aunt, Sun Pu would not care.
So, she left Yaoxian Hall easily.
Moreover, I don’t know if that bastard Huang Lian was really afraid of the Rong family. After they were admitted to the ward of Yaoxiantang, Huang Lian only came twice and then disappeared.
Maybe he gave up. It would be a good thing if he didn't bother Liu Rumei anymore.
The money saved might be rewarded to Liu Rumei if she was happy.
Qiuyu was just thinking happily when he suddenly heard the sound of horse hooves on the street, and many pedestrians on the street made way for them.
Qiuyu's attention was immediately attracted. She stood on tiptoe and looked, and actually saw the lake blue roof of the car that her parents often rode in.
"Master Chen?" Qiuyu was surprised. "Why did you suddenly come to Ping'an Town?"
But on second thought, a smile suddenly broke out on his face.
Lord Chen must have known that she and her aunt had come to Ping'an Town, so he rushed over in a hurry to see her aunt.
Oh, my Lord really cares about my aunt. Even though he is so busy with the affairs at home, he still finds time to come here.
