Chapter 31 A serious big devil turned into a gossipy little baby

In the other courtyard, all the people were arranged by Lai Fu.

At first, everyone was shocked to see people with heads bandaged like strange species coming over. When the housekeeper scolded them, they woke up and knew that it was the old lady without a doubt.

So, one by one, they stood aside with their heads down, not daring to say a word.

"Doctor Zhang, you should treat him well. Our general has to continue the incense for our Shangguan family!" Hu came forward. Because her nose was injured and covered, she spoke in a hushed voice.

"Continue the family line? Old lady, what you said is true. The princess has given birth to a son and a daughter, which is already good. As for the general... I really can't do anything to save him!" Doctor Zhang is the doctor of Baicaotang in the city. He usually has a good relationship with the general's mansion. However, he was a little unhappy when he heard what Mrs. Hu said.

"Hey, Doctor Zhang, you don't know that the young prince and the young princess both have the royal family surname. The general just wants a child with his own surname. The princess has also agreed. The third child will have the Shangguan family surname. This..." Lai Fu quickly took out a silver coin and stuffed it into Doctor Zhang's hand, saying.

"Butler, it's not that I despise you, nor am I being pretentious, but the general... is useless!" Doctor Zhang said, and pushed the silver back. After saying that, he picked up the medicine box and was about to leave. However, the next moment, he turned around and said, "Don't worry, you two, I haven't been here today, and I haven't checked the general's health. I don't know anything!"

After Doctor Zhang said that, he ran away. Even Butler Lai Fu, who chased after him with the silver, was unable to catch up with him.

"Hiss..."

Butler Lai Fu put the dagger in his sleeve pocket. He walked into the villa, sighed, and said, "This old man is quite shrewd. Madam, what should we do?"

"If Doctor Zhang doesn't want to die, he won't tell anyone." After all, Mrs. Hu has lived for decades. She is not too worried about this. What she is worried about now is her son: "I don't know if that woman will come back tonight. If she comes back, it will be bad if she finds out!"

Although it was rare in the previous dynasties for a princess to divorce her husband, if the husband is no longer useful, no one would say anything if the princess divorces her husband.

"I heard that the Empress Dowager and the Emperor like the little girl very much. They will probably keep the mother and daughter in the palace for some days. During this period, we can find a chance to sneak past them..."

"Madam, housekeeper!" Before the housekeeper Lai Fu finished speaking, a servant came to pass on the message: "The princess is back!"

"Back, back?" Mrs. Hu stumbled and almost sprained her waist.

The housekeeper immediately supported her and let her sit aside.

The white cloth on the old lady's head had been stained red because of talking all the time. It was still quite disgusting to look at it at night.

"Madam, what can we do? We can't act rashly now!" The housekeeper also walked back and forth in the room anxiously.

"If it doesn't work, we can only use a delaying tactic!" Mrs. Hu stood up and suddenly had an idea.

"Old lady, you..." The housekeeper looked at the old lady's blood-red face, somewhat puzzled.

"Let's go, to Mozhu Garden!" After saying that, Mrs. Hu walked out by herself.

Passing by Qinglian Garden, hearing the high and low cries in the yard, Mrs. Hu sighed and ignored it.

In the afternoon, when Mrs. Hu was in excruciating pain in the Imperial Hospital, she heard howling outside.

It turned out that it was her second son's wife Xu Ruzhen who came to apply medicine.

Xu Ruzhen was slapped and beaten with a stick. It is said that it was the empress who gave the order to let her go to the Imperial Hospital to get medicine.

"Go and call the second son back!" Mrs. Hu walked halfway and turned to the housekeeper.

The housekeeper nodded and quickly found a servant to find the second master.

The second master of the Shangguan family was on duty in the army during the day and often came back very late at night.

Mrs. Hu knew that her son must have gone to the gambling house to drink. As long as Xu Ruzhen didn't make trouble, she would be left alone.

Besides, when Xiao Jian got married, the dowry was too much. Even if her son lost dozens of taels every day, it would take many years to see the money go.

As for Xu Ruzhen, she didn't want to see that ugly face at all. So, she shouldn't be too happy if Shangguan Jingqie didn't come back.

In Mozhu Garden, Xiao Jian and Nanny Jin gave the girl a bath together and wrapped her in a soft cloth. After that, Xiao Jian sat down and fed the girl.

"Princess, the old lady in the front yard seems to be here!" Dongju was coming in from outside. She patted the coldness off her body and hurried forward to say.

"Dongju, you come and serve, I'll be outside!" Nanny Jin said, and then went out.

"Well, this is to test, right? I don't know what happened to the scumbag dad? What if he gets injured and disabled, and then comes back to deceive mother? The historical records don't say whether Shangguan Jinghong was a cripple when he held mother hostage to threaten his uncle three years later!"

Baby Ruoxi had no interest in breastfeeding. She suddenly changed from a serious big devil to a gossipy little baby.

Xiaojian raised the corner of her lips, and her palm gently patted the baby's little butt. She wanted to tell the baby that she had her own ideas and would not let the Shangguan family have an easy life.

"Princess! Come back!" Outside, the sound of drums and gongs came to the ears.

Xiao Jian looked up and immediately covered the eyes of the little baby in his arms, saying, "How dare you! What is this? Aunt Jin, Dong Ju, beat it out for me!"

"Yes!" Dong Ju hurried forward and raised her hand to slap him.

"Ouch!" The wound on her face hurt so much that Hu retreated with a howl and fell to the ground. She pointed at Dong Ju and cursed, "You, you little girl, I don't even recognize you?"

"Ah, old lady? I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" Dong Ju was smart. She immediately stepped forward and helped Hu up.

"Is it my mother-in-law?" Xiao Jian said indifferently, "How come you came out when you were so badly injured? Dong Ju, help the old lady go back to rest!"

"Yes!" Dong Ju stepped forward to help.

"No, I have something to tell the princess!" Although Mrs. Hu knew in her heart that this master and servant might have done it on purpose, Xiao Jian had just returned to the palace and was pampered, so she didn't dare to be presumptuous. So, she waved her hand and said.

Dong Ju stepped aside, and Nanny Jin came over, hugged the little princess, and gently patted her burp.

"Is there anything, mother-in-law?" Xiao Jian asked after pulling her clothes.

Mrs. Hu sighed, pulled the cloth towel away from her mouth a little, stared at Xiao Jian, and said, "Hong'er is injured!"

"Ah? The general has been unwell these days and has been resting in the study. What's wrong? Is it serious?" Xiao Jian immediately stood up and said nervously, "Can we call a doctor? Otherwise, I will ask someone to go to the palace and call Wen Xu!"
