Looking at the pretty concubine's lowered face, Madam Zheng's expression grew even colder. Her hands were tucked into her sleeves, and no one knew that she had pinched herself so hard that it hurt, in order to suppress the anger in her heart.
"go out!"
Even though Madam Zheng forced herself to calm down, her tone was still very unpleasant when she spoke.
The concubine's fingers were clenched together, she was very unwilling. She looked at Hu Haichuan with great reluctance in her eyes. She did not want to leave, but she had no choice but to do so because of the power of the mistress. She hoped that Hu Haichuan would have some pity on her and let her stay.
Hu Haichuan frowned when his wife entered. He was even more displeased that his wife had frightened his concubine like this. However, Hu Haichuan still said calmly, "Jiao'er, you may leave now."
Jiao'er's eyes immediately reddened, and after a long and hesitant "Yes," she retreated.
Her final sigh before leaving successfully evoked Hu Haichuan's pity. He watched her retreating figure, unable to tear his eyes away.
Madam Zheng ignored him and just stayed there. The atmosphere in the room was somewhat awkward until Hu Haichuan came to his senses and felt the oppressive atmosphere in the room. Then he looked up and asked coldly, "Are you sick?"
Look, this is what they are like in private. On the surface, they are a harmonious couple, and even the people in the mansion think so. They believe that even though the master has many concubines, he still respects his wife very much. Apart from the old master and old lady, no one can surpass the wife.
Because the Hu family possessed vast wealth, although they were merely a merchant family, when they went out, even the wives of officials would give them some face.
But who knows the pain behind this? What husband would say his wife is mentally ill?
“If you’re not afraid of getting sick, how could I be?” Madam Zheng gave a cold laugh, not backing down at all.
"You!" Hu Haichuan stormed out from behind his desk, strode up to Madam Zheng, and raised his hand high, looking at her with disgust.
Madam Zheng raised her head and looked at him calmly, maintaining the dignity of a wealthy lady, and did not feel intimidated in front of Hu Haichuan.
Hu Haichuan hesitated to slap her, and he actually saw a hint of mockery in Madam Zheng's eyes. "Say what you have to say, and then get out of here. I don't want to see you!" In the end, his hand did not fall.
She didn't want to see him either.
However, they are still husband and wife, sharing both glory and loss, and there are many things they need to let him know.
Therefore, Madam Zheng said coldly, "Hu Mingmei has found a new doctor..." After saying these words, Madam Zheng refused to say anything more.
Hu Haichuan was shocked. Unfortunately, Madam Zheng hadn't said enough, and he couldn't react in time. So, he disregarded his past grievances with Madam Zheng and grabbed her hand, asking, "What did you say?"
Look how eager he is. When it comes to his own interests, he'll stop at nothing and do anything. Wasn't he just now disgusted with her? Wasn't he just now unwilling to even touch her? For his own benefit, he can actually put aside his disgust.
"If you want to know what I mean, go and find out for yourself!" Madam Zheng's eyes finally showed emotion—mockery. She looked at Hu Haichuan with a sneer, "That's all I can say. Go and find out for yourself!"
Hu Haichuan immediately sensed that Madam Zheng was toying with him, so he snorted heavily and shouted angrily, "You bitch, you're playing me!"
Seeing Hu Haichuan's exasperation, Madam Zheng found it particularly amusing. Ignoring his insults, she sneered and said, "Huang Haichuan, you'd better save your energy!"
The name Huang Haichuan immediately brought Hu Haichuan back to his senses. Although he had been called Master Hu for so many years, his surname was Huang, he was a member of the Huang family, and his ancestors were not lying in the imperial mausoleum!
Unfortunately, by the time Hu Haichuan came to his senses, Madam Zheng had already gracefully left.
In Hu Mingmei's courtyard, thanks to Doctor Sun's timely treatment, Hu Mingmei finally regained consciousness. As soon as he woke up, he started coughing violently. Bai Nuo quickly went over to help Hu Mingmei catch his breath. Doctor Sun looked at him irritably, "Let him cough himself to death. Doesn't he know what time it is? He dares to do such a thing!"
Every spring and autumn are the seasons when Hu Mingmei's illness is most frequent.
"Doctor Sun!" Xia Donglai said with a wry smile, "Second Master is also anxious for the antidote!" If Hu Mingmei hadn't gotten married and Bai Nuo hadn't gotten pregnant, Hu Mingmei wouldn't be so anxious. But now that Bai Nuo is pregnant, although Hu Mingmei hasn't said anything, Xia Donglai has been by Hu Mingmei's side for almost fifteen years, so he naturally understands Hu Mingmei.
He was afraid that if he didn't survive, Bai Nuo and her son would be bullied.
"Have you found it?" Doctor Sun asked coldly.
Xia Donglai choked, then said with a wry smile, "No!"
Dr. Sun scoffed, "The more anxious you are, the faster you'll die!"
At this moment, Bai Nuo ignored what Doctor Sun was saying; she only had eyes for Hu Mingmei. She had been trying to soothe Hu Mingmei's breathing, and then she sat down on the edge of the bed, looking at Hu Mingmei and softly asking, "Are you feeling any better?"
Hu Mingmei nodded and said softly, "Did I scare you?"
Bai Nuo nodded, then asked, "Are you tired?"
Hu Mingmei nodded, closed her eyes wearily, and said softly, "Lying down is so tiring, let me carry you..."
