Chapter 89 The Madam's Inquiry
"Miss Lu hasn't had her period for two months?"
Chang Xixi asked.
Lu Qianjin's voice came from the curtains, "Yes, it's been two months. I wonder what the doctor thinks? I don't know what to do. After all, I am the daughter of an honest family."
Chang Xixi thought deeply and realized that she must be invited here for some other reasons. She could not make the decision on these matters and had to ask Lord Lu or Miss Lu's mother.
She turned around and said to the servant beside her: "Tell your Lord Lu to come out and talk to me. Tell me directly that I have something to ask. I already know the cause and disease of the daughter's illness."
"yes."
Lord Lu waited for Chang Xixi to call him, and directly invited him to a side hall in a courtyard. Chang Xixi didn't exchange pleasantries, and said directly: "It's definitely a pregnancy pulse. The month is early, so it will be easy to abort. It depends on whether Lord Lu is willing to let her go. However, I suggest... Miss Lu should not marry anyone other than this man. If she wants to marry, then divorce her and then marry again. I can keep this matter confidential, and please give me a suitable reward, Lord Lu. Who knows, tomorrow the streets and alleys will be full of rumors about Miss Lu."
Lord Lu was already furious, but there was nothing he could do. His daughter was his own, and he couldn't let anyone say anything!
"Hit it! Do it secretly."
"yes."
Chang Xixi stopped walking and turned back, "Master Lu, I need one hundred taels of gold. I wonder if you can come up with it. If... you don't have it, I can give you a discount, fifty taels of gold."
Lord Lu gritted his teeth and spoke. He had long known that Chang Xixi was a greedy person, but he never thought she was so greedy. Fortunately, she was able to solve the problem.
"One hundred taels is one hundred taels. I'll have someone prepare it right away."
Lord Lu had just left when Chang Xixi looked at Ren Wen who had come rushing over. She wrote a prescription and asked him to go out and get the medicine. A quarter of an hour later, Ren Wen came back.
Chang Xixi simply asked the servants in the mansion to boil the medicine and then take it three times a day, but she could not tell Miss Zhang what the disease was.
She consoled him carefully, "Within three days of taking the medicine, your period will come. It may come differently than in the past few days. You'll feel some pain, but you'll be fine after these few days. Don't worry, I'll see you through."
"Is my fate with him so short?"
Chang Xixi shook her head. "It's not short, nor shallow, it's just that it came at the wrong time. If the other party is willing to marry you, then you can have children in the future. If not, you will probably be stigmatized. Or you will be despised by your future husband. If he likes you, why would he do such a thing? Isn't it legitimate to marry him home? What's the point of doing it secretly?"
She didn't want to teach the girl a lesson, she just hated the man's irresponsibility.
After watching Qian Jin drink the medicine, Chang Xixi went to the front hall of the Lu family mansion, took her reward and left as if she was running for her life. When faced with such a thing, she had to run fast.
When I returned to the Zhou Mansion, as expected, the eldest lady came to see me!
Chang Xixi had no choice but to go, and she also brought a copy of Treatise on Febrile Diseases with her. She had already thought of an excuse. Knock knock, the eldest lady asked her to come into the house, as she happened to be having dinner.
She stayed for dinner, and Zhou Zhiwei was there too.
"You still remember to come back? If I didn't know, I would think you had found a better branch and would not return to the Zhou Mansion. That's Lord Lu from the Ministry of Justice. He controls so many lives."
Zhou Zhi felt very jealous and unhappy.
The daughter of the Lu family was the one that Zhang Qianjin was hoping to make friends with. Unexpectedly, Chang Xixi did nothing but go and treat her illness! And she stayed there for a whole day. Who wouldn't be jealous!
Chang Xixi was not annoyed. If she continued to make trouble with these cats and dogs, wouldn't she become their victim?
"Zhiwei, I'm not here as a doctor, nor do I really have any personal relationship with the daughter of the Lu family. It's more like the mutual admiration between me and Miss Zhang. In life, sincerity is the most important thing."
At this time, the eldest lady also learned from Chang Xixi why the servant came to see her in the afternoon, and she was waiting for Chang Xixi's explanation. She obviously had a place to live outside, so why did she have to go to Zhou Mansion.
If you want to take advantage of the situation, that's not impossible, just say it!
But this... She couldn't quite understand Chang Xixi's actions. She had heard the rumors in the streets and had listened to quite a lot of gossip.
Chang Xixi took a bite of rice and a sip of soup, then told Gu Rongyu everything about how she came here, bought the yard, and discussed it with her.
She also talked about the story of the second sister in Wanfu Village. Her pain was indeed cured by a master. She had no money at that time, so the master said he needed an apprentice and taught her some medical skills.
There were a lot of expenses and social events when she came to Ruzhou City. Now she has set up her own business, so she doesn't want to ask Zhou's house for money. It's also good to make money by herself.
She also revealed that the newly opened teahouse in Panzhicheng was doing a booming business, and it was also started by her and a teacher. It was just an idea, and she happened to have money so she just went along with it.
She didn't intend to reveal these things. She just went out and didn't know who were the bad guys and who were the good guys. She just wanted to be on guard.
The eldest lady nodded, still wondering how her daughter could become two different people overnight. Upon hearing this, she realized that her daughter had grown up without her knowledge and was several times more powerful than her.
Amazing!
No wonder Chang Xixi was so sensible this time. She had a lot of experience outside and was naturally not comparable to the daughter of a wealthy family.
"Madam, is there anything else you want to ask? My husband and I are very similar, and it's quite strange. However, later on, for the sake of our family, he didn't care about his own health, but instead copied books to support the family. He was a very good man. I was the one who asked him to take the imperial examination so that he would have someone to rely on in the future, and not be unable to keep his money and be held hostage everywhere."
When Chang Xixi talked about the touching parts, she felt a little touched and her eyes turned red.
Zhou Zhiwei was disgusted by what she saw. She was clearly a scheming bitch, yet she pretended to be innocent and thought that no one knew! The sound of her eating suddenly became louder.
The eldest lady shouted, "What kind of talk is this?"
"yes."
Only then did she calm down and suppress her anger. She then recalled that Chang Xixi had actually been lecturing her in the carriage that day, and she felt even more angry. They were both born on the same day and at the same hour.
But because she was taken away by the wrong owner...she lost her current identity and status, and she did not receive a good education.
After dinner, the eldest lady asked in detail where the small courtyard they bought was, how far it was, whether there were enough servants there, etc.
